Another beautiful day out going through the Outback Joe series (23 - 31; 1 - 8; 35 and 36; and 20) Most were fairly straightforward finds (except 35 which took a bit longer) with only a couple of DNFs (5 and 36.) Some logs were quite damp - 20, 28, 30, 31 and 35 and Cache No 23 was thoroughly soaked through and full. In Cache 28, the page with the clue had come away and was falling apart so I wrote the clue on the inside of the plastic cover. All up it was a very enjoyable and highly successful day - thanks again for this great series!

We headed out for another day up in the hills and surrounding areas to add a few more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here today with a nice quick find TFTC

Thank you! I've had my eye on this series for a while, and decided today was the day. The forecasted showers and storm never eventuated, so with blue skies it ended up warmer than I expected. I did the series in numerical order, as that seemed to involve the least backtracking. Found this one without too much issue.

Found it. TFTC JacobsCrew.

The weather finally had mercy on human kind in the region and let some spring out, so what better way to spend a day, than geocaching in a good company! Teamed up with Mistraluna, and decided to tackle the Outback Jack series, to get some fresh air, good exercise and lots of smileys on a beautiful walk and believe it or not, no flies, no mozzies - Perfecto! And the best bit was, that we found all the caches, yay!

Headed up this way today with Eliktrisiti, hoping to knock out the Outback Jack series which has been on my radar for way too long, but I just never seemed to get out here to do them. Previous plans always seem to go awry for one reason or another.

But the planets aligned for us today, and two eager geocachers sallied forth, ready for rain, hail or shine, set on a mission to conquer this series at long last. Fortunately the weather held out for us for the entire two circuits, and we managed to find each and every one of the caches (had to resort to PAF on one of them though), whilst another took considerable longer to find than we anticipated also, but we found both eventually. Most of the caches were in good order, but several along the southernmost section of the series were a tad wet and could do with with some TLC when the CO is next out that way.

All in all, an excellent series of caches. Thank you JacobsCrew2 for all the work that went into the planning and placement of this series. We really enjoyed our day out there - was hoping for more wildflowers, but hey, can't have everything I guess. Am more than happy with my swag of smileys.

Nice little hiding spot... I wonder if anyone has lived in there! TFTC
 
Easy find TFTC

Got it! \o/.

Headed up into the hills to attempt the Outback Jack Bush walk series. Brought a muggle mate (PBD) with me to introduce him into our sport. Turns out he loves it. What a beautiful peaceful area. Please excuse the copy paste.

Quick find here too.

Out doing a bit of off road after the Perth Airport T1 Domestic trial, the final trial before the official opening later this month.

Quick find before sunset in the obvious spot!

Cheers JacobsCrew 2!

Nice quick find, but my GPS was 25m out. If it's been that erratic recently, that could explain my run of DNFs (as could lack of ability on my part Smile ). TFTC.

TFTC! Teamed up with a mate this morning to cleanup a loop of the Outback Jack series, before returning the favour and helping out moving some gym equipment after the states on the weekend. Had an enjoyable morning hitting the trailhead at 6am and finding the first few with the assistance of the flash light. Found 20 plus caches with two DNFs. Thanks

Decided to tackle the Outback Jack series today. Parked across the road from #18 and started there. Logged that one at 2:32pm and the last one (#15 - a DNF) at 6:07pm. Found 30 caches and had 5 DNFs. There were 3 that I didn't attempt as it was dark by the time I was on the last leg from 7 through 15 ... I have new specs with a new prescription and was not confident walking through the scrub in the dark so I only did the ones close to the track.

Of the DNFs, I think 34 may be missing and possibly 5 ... I did have a good look for both of those while it was still light, but the others were in the dark and I only had a quick look before moving on.

Thanks for this series JacobsCrew ... I did enjoy the walk, the only downer being the appalling amount of rubish that is dumped in the bush.

I will be back one day for the ones I didn't get. Sorry for generic log

I walked past this one first up as it was really busy with walkers, mountain bikers and even a horse. No camels though. A quick find as part of the Outback Jack Bush Walk series. TFTC JacobsCrew2

We had a spare day in Perth today and had planned to tackle the Outback Jack series. We woke up to a perfectly beautiful autumn day, so armed with our gps and some supplies we headed off down into the bush. We found all 38 of the caches today, so sorry about the rather generic logs that will be posted on all 38. The caches were hidden in many diverse places. Some were very easy to find, others were more of a challenge. Most were in very good condition apart from one that was rather wet. There are a myriad of tracks running through this bushland, and you do really need a gps to be able to locate where you are and where you have been. We came across some cross country runners as well as a number of mountain bikers who were also enjoying the trails. We even walked on part of the northern end of the Bibbulmun Track, which was interesting as we spend a lot of time on the southern end of it. Thanks JacobsCrew2 for all the work that must have gone into placing all these caches for our enjoyment. We enjoyed the walk and also finding them.

After successfully completing the first half of this walk a couple weeks ago, I returned this morning with CaVED, PerthGirl65 and a couple friends to complete the series. Most of the caches were quite easy finds. A gorgeous morning for a walk! Thanks JacobsCrew2 for this cache and the entire series.

Did the first half of this series 2 weeks ago and today was a perfect day to find the rest. This was the sixth of 22 caches we found in this series today. TFTC, JacobsCrew2 Smile

I think we walked roundabout 15 Km and it was hot, very hot !Razz

At the end we are happy to arrieved the parking place, only the many DNF's wasn't not so funny !Sad

(Chwiliwr team catch up log)

I allowed Chwiliwr to go out for a 'walk' so he came up to do this series. Started out cool enough but soon there was a thunderstorm nearby which stopped him for a while until it passed. He walked some more of the series and then there was another storm. Although he did plan to do all of the series the two storms ensured that he didn't have enough time so will have to come back another day to finish them off with me.

Thanks JacobsCrew2 for the cache and series so far.

The better half allowed me to go out for a 'walk' so I came up to do this series. Started out cool enough but soon there was a thunderstorm nearby which stopped me for a while until it passed and made me wet. I walked some more of the series and then there was another storm which stopped me again and this time saturated me. They were not that close and only got the rain bits not the lightning. Although I did plan to do all of the series the two storms ensured that I didn't have enough time so will have to come back another day to finish them off.

I think the storms were affecting the signals as I didn't find any of the GZ locations to be all that accurate today but I did find the caches in the end.

Thanks JacobsCrew2 for the cache and series so far.

Noticed this series of caches not so long ago and thought it would be a good opportunity to visit the area. Great series; Coords were generally accurate and the hides were good. Thanks very much JacobsCrew. Great weather for January!

TFTC. Nice quick ones now and back to the car as we have plans for the night.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Finally got around to do some series caching. 2014 has been a lean year with less 100 added to my tally. So today was the day to bring up the 1000 Cache, and what a fantastic series. Countless birds, beautiful scenery and plenty a kangaroos to enjoy the walk with. Not to mention the thousands of spiders who had to build new webs.. A great series. Thank You.. TNLN

Out and about trying to hunt down the series on a Sunday

Heading to gz had a muggle bike rider sitting pretty much at gz

Tried to Wait him out but he wasn't bugging. Eventually decide to have a look. When the man ask if I was geocaching. Turns out he had heard of caching before but didn't quite understand what it was

Came a quick run down in caching 101 and he seemed to be pretty impressed

Might have another cachet on our hands

A big morning for geocaching. Was really nice to do the series with some others on the side. Unfortunately, I missed 5 of them. Maybe Ill be back on day. They are all really easy but some of them are like 10m away of my gps position!!!! Thanks anyway for the caches as it was a rally great pleasure to do them.

Found it with Ross1957. What a good way to spend the morning, good company, good bushland, exercise, wild flowers, and annoying tricky caches to find, some easy some hard.

After starting this series a few weeks ago I've come back with Fernio to try and complete it.
We found all the ones we looked for some being really easy and some we had to spend some time on. Had to
look back on previous logs on a couple and even phoned a friend on one.
It is great to have the company and an extra pair of eyes.
Thanks JacobsCrew2 for a fun series.
