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

Fun find, thank you!!

Found cache in good condition. We left gold coloured anodised mini skateboard.

On the way to Albany, so thought I'd grab a few finds along the way..Quick find here.On a sidetrack to have a look at the damTFTC

Found it

Another quick find. This is one of my favourite roads, not been down it for a while so nice to revisit.

Quick find here today on my way down to Albany. The nang was a nice touch. Gees. Tftc

Yay

Tftc love caching in the bush I'm a lite drzzle

Tftc easy as

Clever hide TFTC

Just collecting a few more caches in the area. No problems here. TFTC

Neatly hidden

Quick park and grab on my way home. Lovely stretch of road and this part is probably the best TFTC

That’s the third this morning

Really easy find!

One each but they move quicker

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.
Mum and I spotted this one at the same time so we only got half a find point.

TFTC

Out and about doing a few caches between the showers today

Quick find. Thanks

Wow! This was definitely a park and grab. I barely stepped from the car. TFTC

Found

Nice easy find

We were on the move again today and just picking up the occasional cache along the roads as we went. It was another hot day, so we did not really want to do too many. Each of the caches found was noted as being in good condition and each log had two names added, where appropriate, as we were travelling with ilook4geo. Our thanks go to jlotsos for putting this series of caches into play. We only picked out a representative few to do from this run.

It was time to go hunting again with goingplaces2 and we found some caches along the route we took. All were good finds and it was a fun day, as we chose a random selection of caches to look for. This was one of the ones we found successfully. TFTC.

Another great find! Enjoying this series. Thanks

Found it

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

Cache found all in working order

Lovely day out for a drive, to pick up a couple of caches. Been stuck inside most of the week. With all this crappie weather. Same the fire has been through here, some caches are missing. Tftc

Tftf

Thanks

Nice little series. There's been a bit of fire damage through here. I only managed to find 5 out of ten. Tftc.

GPS took some time to settle, however the find was easy. TFTH

#12813. 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.

Our 3rd find on this road on our way out to the dam.

Thanks jlotsos

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.

The road is a lot better surfaced that we expected. A bit more traffic along it today too.
Thanks, Robmc.

Yay! 3rd found tftc

Another good hide. Being out there by yourself is fantastic.

**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.

Still so quiet nice find

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

This seems to be a popular cache. Maybe because it is so close to Albany Highway.
Thanks for the find.

We didn't hear any kookaburras or spot any kangaroos ,but on the positive side we didn't spot any other creatures either so all's good. Found without too much trouble thanks to the generous hint. TFTC, jlotsos.

Found it. TFTC jlotsos

Out for a few early Australia Day Caches and to beat the heat a few drive and grab caches became the order for the day.. I encountered a swarm of bee's here that had me backing away quickly. THey seemed to be passing through as I waited and they weren't anywhere to be seen. Pays to keep an eye out though. Cheers... TFTC

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 # 1422 for us

Found The Dam Road 3. TNLN SL TFTH jlotsos.

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

TFTC TNLN.

TFTC. Took geo coin.

3 from 3!

Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for the cache.

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!

Geo T was using her best stealth when a lone cyclist zoomed past and hit a pot hole in the Dam Road! Luckily he was ok but got a flat tyre the robroy_co caching crew sprung into action and Geo R offered assistance until the cavalry arrived. No stealth required now, we gave a quick guide to geocaching and the riders even let us take a photo so you know our story is true! Haha! TFTC A favourite from us for the unusual circumstances! You've got to love this game!

This cache was certainly the quickest and easiest of the series. Parked up 3m from GZ and spotted it from the car. Left the car running while I quickly collected my smiley. A true Park n Grab. TFTC jlotsos

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.

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 another quick easy find.

Easy find. Lovely area. TFTC

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

TFTC

Found while caching with Me&B for the morning and enjoying the scenery. This series has been on my radar for a little while and I was happy when Me&B reached out to say she was heading in this direction. There was just enough variety to keep us interested without any one of them being too difficult. TFTC and the series, jlotsos!

Friendly reminder to return cache as found.
Found with Lound16 & Goorjus69
TFTH

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 park and grab, 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.

It is starting to warm up now, so nice out here in the bush.

TB out to move along

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

Took us a while, must have been being special lol... Good hide

A quick find. Starting to get a bit cold so I'd better get on if I'm going to complete the series. Tftc

Got a couple more on my weekly drive past t4tc

Nice one. With thanks for the cache from Angus the great GeoWestie and his Carer wo are grey (and white) nomads currently travelling in, and enjoying, WA.

Found number 3.
Quick find

Quick find. Tfth.

Dropped the geo-muggle-missus off at her friend's place for the afternoon and went caching. After hunting down a couple of frogs, clearing up some Boulderdash DNFs and grabbing a couple of archived Mischief's Crew caches, I hit the Dam Road.

After number 2, I did a bit of a detour to grab another of Mischief's Crew's archived caches which is couple of hundred metres off the road. Did the business there and, back on the Dam Road, I made a quick find here..

Signed the log. Thanks for the hide jlotsos.

Stump 3 and we are out!!
Awesome series JLotsos

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

Was doing a run of caches up this way so we called in to find this cache along the way.

A quick find here.

Thanks jlotsos for the cache.

Thanks for a great series of caches jlotsos Made for a great afternoon in the bush

After the Mothers Day gift giving was over, I must have been getting in Mrs jinta's way cause she told me to go caching . Well... who am I to start an argument? I quickly packed some supplies into the geo Corolla and headed out the door. Thanks for placing these caches jlotsos. Some of the coords were a bit out but the previous logs identify the likely GZ's.

Mmmmm, not sure about this one. My GPSR initially had me on the wrong side of the road. After letting it settle I soon had the prize in hand.

Decided to spend a pleasant afternoon caching and complete this series. TFTC

Yay - Justin found this one! Thanks to the Lotsos crew.

Headed out to the Canning Dam with the kids for a BBQ lunch & of course had to stop & find some caches along the way

After overshooting GZ, I had to do a u-turn for this one… Pulled up next to GZ & as I headed towards the bush, DangerMouse09 found this one! My GPS’r still wanted me an extra 15m in… I am starting to wonder if my GPS’r is going crazy?

TFTC jlotsos

Kids beating us!

And now my 6 year old neice has the good eyes!

A bit off

The mission today was to pick up a nearby high D/T rated cache to fill a spot in my grid (Jurassic Jaunt!!, GCKDC6). After a successful outing there it was a trip along the Canning Dam rd to see if I could knock off all the recently published 'Dam Road' caches.

I would be doing them in reverse order which made for some creative parking maneuvers from time to time. Some of the co-ords seemed out a bit and I took some readings where applicable but I got them all and there were a couple of crafty hides here and there as well. Thanks for putting the series out jlotsos.

Had a quick look at the obvious spot didn't find it till I came back for a second go. Co-ords a bit out here, took a reading with the GPSr.

Met up with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2 to grab a few caches and attend the Cito event in Kelmscott.
This is a nice series and amazing change in vegetation between first and last cache. Thanks jlotsos

Met up with Richlinks, iluvtrekking and Branzy12 for a great day of caching. the weather is prefect with mild conditions.....found most caches quickly with the odd tricky one...TFTC

Set off early this morning with richlink to link in with JacobsCrew2 and Barnzy12 and do our bit at the Kelmscott CITO Event. This was one of many caches found while in the area. Always a sucker for a series this one did not disappoint. Thanks jlotsos.

Another quick find

On an afternoon caching run with the eldest geoson. A nice find here.
