Found it

TFTC nice quick find

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

Time flies when you're geocaching. Better call this one the last for the day or I won't be home in time for dinner.

Fun find, put some toys in! Last cache for the dam road series!

In the area today to place some new caches. This was an existing container found whilst on a reconnaissance. Tftc

Found cache in good condition. We left a jewellery ring set.

Find a penny, pick it up and all day you'll have good luck! Tftc

Found it, or where I believe it was supposed to beLeft a new container with a few coins and paper for a logTFTC

Had a good look around the place noticed navigation was loosing its mind in this area DNF

Got it

TFTC easy find

One more fire sasslonach

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.
Oh yeah! Another point to me

TFTC

Out and about doing a few caches between the showers today

Quick find thanks

A quick find here on the Dam Road series. I found six of the series today before back tracking out from the highway. TFTC

Nice roadside find! Tftc!

Yippie, beware of the spider

GPS coordinates are a little bit off but it’s not far away

That is a mother stump! Placed some swaps in for kids as it was empty except for the log. Tftc

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

Completely gone by the fire and the king stump has been dethroned. New cache placed about 10m from the original king the prince has now taken over.

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.

Up down, up down, but we are getting thought the series
Not quite as large as we expected.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12818. 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.

I was very excited to see and retrieve a TB from this cache this afternoon.

Thanks jlotsos

Nice spot

The ground was quite wet but ignored that and kneeled done to retreive the cache.

**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.

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

A little way off the original mark.. but reading comments made sense and found it

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

A bit further afield than expected but we found it eventually. A big container too....
Thanks for the cache.

Stopped on the way east and had a prolonged look for this cache in every possible hiding place close to gz. Had to give up and continued down the road to finish the rest of the series. Decided to stop again on the way back and read notes which indicated perhaps to conduct an extended search. Looked further afield and found it very quickly. It was about 15 to 20 metres further in than our gps was indicating. Who cares! We found it. Yeh! TFTC>

Found it. TFTC jlotsos. GPS was taking me to the edge of the road. My mum told me not to play on the road. I tried to use common sense, but that was a bad idea. My last resort was cache radar, after extending the range I found it about 15m from my original GZ.

Looked around - eventually found after extending search area. 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 # 1426 for us

Found The Dam Road 8. Thanks of the hint for GZ is some 10 m away. 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

TN LN, TFTC

TFTC. Took red cross TB. No other TB in 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.

The Blonde SugaBug Racer TB was not in the cache and should be marked as missing.

Thanks for the cache jlotsos!

As with previous cachers we had a bit of a hunt to find this one! Persistence prevailed and soon we had the decent sized cache in hand! 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. Gps was quite a bit out for us too today, but widening the search to some obvious spots, soon had the cache found.

Needed the hint here as my co ords were not giving me much luck again probably due to the weather. The good hint lead me to the cache 10m from GZ and it was lovely to find a decent size cache with lots of goodies in it. SL and replaced as found I'm now half way through with no DNFs TFTC jlotsos

Tough find for us. We resorted to the hint but even then it was a 10 minute hunt. Great to uncover the hide and add our names to the log. Thank you jlotsos.

tftc jlotsos yet another quick easy find.

hi could the next cachers let me know if the listed tb is at the cache. Just like to clear it up if its gone missing thanks

Fairly quick find. 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!

Finally found after 10 Minutes and 6 eyes.
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.
The hint gave us what we needed for this one

TFTC!

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

Great cache. Quick easy find

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 as well, TFTH.

Ez find t4tc

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. This was the first one on the way back down again. Thanks to the hint we found the cache fairly quickly about 10m south of our gz. But it certainly was a great hiding spot!
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 stump and a half.

AlliedOz aka The Jokers

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

What's the opposite of finding a polar bear in a snow storm? finding a black stump in the dark.! Tftc

Thanks

TFTC. Found on a trip to the tulips!

Not stumped for long. 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.

The king indeed
Great hide, loving the hunt on canning dam road

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.

My GPSr had me in the wrong place for number eight, but an easy find after reading the hint and looking around. Good sized container here.

Signed the log. Thanks for the hide jlotsos

A quick find on my way towards some of the CCC series. No traffic around today - makes it very peaceful and quiet (except for the voices). SL Thanks to jlotsos for the cache.

Clearing up the last of the dam road series great spot thanks for the series!

That's one impressive stump!!
Nice quick find. Loving this series.

King of the stumps for sure!! perfect spot

(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 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.

This one was a little exposed so I placed back under cover and added some sticks to cover it up

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

TFTC

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

We headed across the road for this one & headed up the hill in search of this one… The location was quite obvious & the prize was quickly found! My GPS’r again wanted me quite some distance away?

TFTC jlotsos

Easy find

Thanks for the hide, stocked it up a little.

Watch your head

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.

Searching around for this one for a few minutes then succumbed to a peek at the hint and found it in the obvious location.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Busselton at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2015' event. Registrations now open.

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.
