Really enjoyed this series! It was a cold wet day so really had the road to ourselves, all the caches were in good condition, thanks jlotsos

One quick cache on our way home after a long weekend in Perth yahoooo

Fun find, everythings still in place, gps felt off.

Found cache and log in good condition, we left worry dolls and a silver token.

Looked around a bit, GPS all over the place, but reckon found it the right spot?.Alas no cache to be found

.

Found this with 365SA on our road trip for WA GOES BIG TFTC

Found ⁰with rscjaz. Thanks for the find

Taking a day trip out of the city to Wandering and doing a few caches together along the way. TFTC

Nice quick find tks

Quick easy find. TFTC

Ignore the hunt. Cache found 6m away. Tftc

Yay another great find

Not quite where stump is

No success. The heat disuaded us somewhat, but glad that someone else found it after we came through.

Not a bad find slightly out from navigation but the miss placed wood gave it away

Tftc:) 2 out of 3 today the first needed maintenance

Easy find much easier for my old man whos just had work dont to his legs no bushbashing

Tftc

No problems here. Cache in good condition. Loads of cyclists out today. TFTC

Clever hide TFTC

Found this one and added a little something

Quick find on a truly rainy day TFTC

Tftc nice and easy

Having a early bush walk. Nice hide.

TFTC! I found it after Dad walked straight over it

G’day jlotsos, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Saturday 27/3/21 at 15:13). Cheers for the hunt anyway!

TFTC

Found it!

Found with sassonach and geowife

Thanks the new attribute search, I made a list of ‘Park & Grabs’ to find with my geofolks. As per normal, it’s a competition between the 3 of us.
I found this one

I turned a previous frown to a smiley here. Thanks for fixing this one up jlotsos

I stayed away from 5 to 9 due to previous burn offs.

all seems back on track

TFTC signed and left a toy

Found it. GPS wouldn't get within 10m of cache

Unfortunately I think Dam Road 1 is muggled. The hint and gps’er put on top on the only hiding spot. Another day! GZ photo sent to CO. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Quick find with bigSalmon1 on way home TFTC

Quick find with mandate7 on our way back to cool Albany TFTC

Came down this way to try and claim some smileys, which I did. A nice little series with only one dnf TFTC

Cache found thank you to the previous cacher who replaced for us all in working order

Dnf

DNF

Brought another container and log sheet to replace burnt out cache reported in the DNF. Cache is up and running again.

It seems to be gone. All there is is rubbish and burnt out trees.
This one may need checking.

Seems like a bushfire has been through this area as the cache and stump have been burnt out. No remains of cache found, however, all nearby stumps and logs have been burnt to ash too.

Day Fourteen of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I went out east to check out some Bushrangers, the Chandler and The Dam Road series, and a few on the way home.
A lovely sunny day, not too hot, not too cold, just perfect for caching.

Our first one, after doing the Chandler series we should be off and running with this one.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12811. Day 14 of our WA holiday and our 9th day based in Rockingham. Robmc and I decided to drive back through Jarrahdale today and visit some of the Bushranger Series, the Chandler Series, the Dam Road Series and a few others along the way. Managed to find 46 today with a few DNF's thrown in.

We saw this little series pop up and decided to get off the main highway again for a bit of peace. What a shame so many people think a quiet side road is just the place to dump their rubbish. I am always amazed by this. Anyhow we made our way through the rubbish and found a cache.

Thanks jlotsos

Yay easy fast find tftc

Nice easy find. love the bush setting

**Found this while House Sitting in Bedfordale**

*Out and about letting my GPS be my guide*...

What a beautiful area for a drive through here. A pity that so many bogans decide to use this whole area as a rubbish dump.

A quick park and grab here today. Found cache, stamped and returned as found.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment jlotsos. Appreciate your effort.
-P

**Took**: *Nothing*
**Left**: *Nothing*

Bored on a Sat arvo so doing the road first find of the arvo

Just stumbled across this series on the way home, so it was meant to be! We had done all of the ones on the other side of the road on the way to the Dam & so now we are tackling this side on the way down. Found them all, so thanks very much for our unplanned excursion & the caches jlotsos, left a pathtag.

Another quick find. We must be getting used to the hiding spots of the CO. Thanks for the effort to place this series.

Yes Gavyleef Gang

Appreciated the safe pullover spots along this road which could get quite hairy. Pulled up and nipped in to find this cache without too much drama.. Get quite disappointed with the number of people who also pull over but leave litter and household rubbish behind. Tftc, jlotsos.

Found it. TFTC jlotsos. Just passing on the hwy and I thought I would just try this one

Out for a few early Australia Day Caches. I started at a series down the hill but the heat set in and decided I was in for a few park and grabs so came here to grab a couple.. TFTC

Beeeel

Quick find. TFTH

Decided to target a couple of jlotsos series today and The Dam Road was first up. Great little series and we managed to find 9 of the 10 of them.

TFTC jlotsos this is find # 1420 for us

Found The Dam Road 1. TNLN SL TFTH jlotsos.

Lewis and Daniel

With the day off work I set off with grand plans grabbing the kanadian bash series. But with the forecast of rain, hail and thunder thought it was best to stick with the car for some park and grabs.

So a revised plan to tackle the Dam and Chandler road series was hatched with a couple of bush rangers thrown in for good measure.

All in all a productive day with 24 smiles 2 dnf and 1 abort mission due to muggle activity

Thanks for a great day jlotsos

TN LN, TFTC

Just dropped someone of at the airport, time to spare. Had a quick scan of the GPS looking for a walk and stumbled apon The Dam Road series. So to the dam road I went and found the no problem at all. TFTC

Cache found opened and wet, log book however was dry. Took Otter Tb

Cheers

I've been looking at this series for a while, and today was the perfect day. After completing the Boulderdash series I needed some easy driving caches and this fit the bill just right. I was pleased to find good sized containers that allowed me to drop a TB into each one!

I had fairly easy finds at most of them, with a couple of tricky little ones along the way. The hints were well appreciated and used in times of need.

Thanks for the cache jlotsos!

On our way down south today for the long weekend we have a couple of 'jlotsos' cache runs on our list to do on our journey! Dam Road 1 is the first cache and pleased to say an easy find to start our day! TFTC

Completed this great little series on our way through the hills to Perth. Enjoyed these bush caches very much. There was enough variety to keep us interested, and for the most part they were easy to locate. Some were very sneaky!! Appreciated the parking spots, as the road verges and road are very narrow. Thanks for the series jlotsos. Did not take too long and was fun.

This was my last one to get of this series as I had worked my way in and out collecting them as the appeared on the right side of the road. This one was nice and easy.
I had started at 5 which remained the hardest to find of the series. Number 6 took the longest but was definitely a favourite and the most fun. and 3 was so easy i left the GPS in the car and the car running. Luckily the weather held out for me although it did put all my co ords out 6-8m on average the helpful hints made this an achievable series with no DNFs and all caches in good condition. TFTC and Series jlotsos

We drove a long way south to explore the dam today. Weather was fantastic and, other than a few rev heads, the road was quiet. A couple of caches were between 10 and 20m from where my GPSr pointed and the rest were quick finds. The large cache took the longest time to locate which seemed ironic. We enjoyed the variety of sizes and hides. We appreciated the sensible locations of hides; there was only 1 location that we found it difficult to find safe parking. It would be great to see some more water in the dam; situation looking bleak at the moment. Thanks for a fun hour or so on this road jlotsos.

tftc jlotsos. finished the series in reverse. thanks for the effort put in and the great area.

A planned trip with m4yb to Lake Towerrinning, travelling along the Albany Highway caching on our way.

Thanks jlotsos

Heading South with megawat60, the tent and the kayaks for 3 days camping at Lake Towerrinning, and started our cache-as-we-go with a quick find here! TFTC jlotsos!

Took a few minutes as the coordinates were off a bit on phone. But soon had it in hand. TFTC

Thought we'd go for a drive today & came along this series. TFTC cheers

Out and about with RAPIDASH today to collect some smilies along Dam Road.

TFTC

Found while caching with Me&B for the morning. TFTH

Complete. Done this series in reverse.
Thanks for the caches and series.
Found with Lound16 & Goorjus69

Out for the day with Loudy16 and NewBut. Started with a roadblock at the Canning Dam but got better from there as we followed the Dam Road series. TFTC!

Out with goorjus69 and newbut today picking up a couple of caches today good find TFTC

Saturday caching in the hills around the Canning Reservoir. The Dam Road series was the main reason I came this way and it was a good choice. All caches were in good condition and fortunately it was easy to park at each hide.
Quick find here, TFTH.

A lovely day to be out and about caching. We travelled the length of The Dam Road, doing those on the left on the way up and those on the right on the way down. There was a good variety of caches and all were found without too much searching involved - and no DNFs.
Thanks for this cache and for the series jlotsos.

With the wife and daughter away at school camp and me up earlier than usual to drop off the lad at school, I decided to make the most of the week of annual leave I’m on and get some finds in on as many days as I can.

This little series that hit my radar after the CO mentioned in the WA Geocaching Facebook group yesterday, it seemed like a good way to start my week of hunting.

The weather today was perfect and I made fairly quick finds with all the hides apart from one, but some corrected cords along with jlotsos handy hints they place on all their hides made for an enjoyable morning with only 2 cars passing the whole time.

Thanks jlotsos for this series, a good mix of hides and placements kept me guessing.

A quick start to the series here, cache and log in good condition, grabbed a geocoin to drop off later in the week.

After completing the Chandler series and working our way back towards Armadale, we couldn't not take the detour and come and have a go at this series too. Most were found without too much difficulty, either with finding good safe places to pull off of the road, or with finding the caches. Thanks for this one jlotsos

Thoroughly enjoyed this little series on our way home from Araluen on Fathers Day. Lovely hides and containers thanks for the fun

Yay, first find of the day!

A quick find. Trying out my rig for scooter caching - might need a few tweets. Tftc

Quick find. TFTC!

Last find on the way back out to Albany highway, didn't leave enough time to find them all so I'll have to come back and finish it off another day! TFTC run, can't wait to come back and pick up the rest

2nd for the day in passing by. t4tc

Second find for the day, out looking for kindling for the fire heading into the next one
