Had a look four of us couldn't find it

Found. Yay. The whole dam area was closed today. Tftc

Fun find, trackable acquired!

We saw Chilli on the way out as we arrived so did a quick refresh in case something new has been published. No new ones so but this is all new to us as it is our first visit. Nice quick find at the GZ after completing the nearby virtual.

A nice quick find while visiting the dam to chase a ghost. GZ became obvious on approach, the container was quickly spotted and retrieved and my name was soon in the log.I dropped a couple of TBs that have travelled from Norway and Iceland with me. WA is the 7th of the states and territories they have visited, so it was time to let them go.Cheers jlotsos.

Up here with axell33 for some new caches and this one! While I was foraging around the ground, axell33 spotted our prize. Nice hide here, thanks jlotsos.

After grabbing some caches at the dam we couldnt leave without grabbing this one. A short search at gz turned up the prize and we soon had our names added to your log. We returned your cache back to where it lives. TFTC jlotsos

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

Nice find for the last of this series, thank you to jlotsos for creating and maintaining these caches. We left a bee styled car air freshener.

Great day for siteseeing, tftc.

Good hint, quick find.TFTC

Today was a momentous day as Achilles would achieve his greatest feat to date - 1000 finds.

A quick find to make number 1001, with no issues.

Easy to find but nothing in the container.

New cache container ready to go and path tag added from us enjoy

Not a complete find but found bits of the container needs maintenance

Not sure this is classed as a find

Found it not in container anymore

Container is broken.

At Araluen for he day headed to Canning dam for a look with friends showed the muggles how it’s done. Thanks

Visit to the dam after botanical gardens.

Tftc easy find

Clever hide TFTC

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

Thanks, first cache!

Out enjoying the sun after all the rain! A quick find for us today!

Good one. Enjoyed that

Quick grab on a rest stop heading home

Another to sassonach.3:1.

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.
Our final point for the day goes to ME!!

TFTC

Out and about doing a few caches between the showers today

Nice hide thanks.

A quick find here on the Dam Road series. No waterfall but I liked the hint. I found six of the series today before back tracking out from the highway. TFTC

So quiet out here.

Found

Great little cache run. Thank you so much!

Tftf

Nice hide! Tftc!

My first accidental geocache find! Might look for more.

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.

Nice quick park and grab

Yippie, heads up

Nice walk from our place through park. Tftc

Found

Found it, left some swaps for the geokiddies mine were disappointed not to find any so smiley for the next kids! 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 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

Nice trip to the Dam.TFTC

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

An east find. TFTH

Well hidden

Greetings from Finland. Driving around here today visit to the dam and Araluen park. Finding some caches on the way.

Quick find after a visit to the dam.

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.

A nice final cache at a good height for retrieving late in the afternoon.
Thanks for this great little series. Now to have a look at the Dam.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12820. 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.

A nice quiet spot along a pleasant little track to finish off the series. Now off to have a look at the dam wall.

Thanks jlotsos

This one had me looking on the wrong side of the track. Very clever hide. Log in good condition

**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*

Adding a fave for the series. Many thanks

Just stumbled across this series on the way home, so it was meant to be! Looked for the ones on this side of the road on the way to the Dam & the otherside of the road on the way down. Found them all, so thanks very much for our unplanned excursion & the caches jlotsos

It was time to head for the hills this morning, so off we went. Had a nearby (relatively) puzzle as our primary target but his series soon also made the agenda. Generous hints enabled most caches including this one to be found without excessive drama. TFTC, jlotsos.

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Adding a fave because these caches enables us to earn it.

Found it. TFTC jlotsos

Wonderful drive out here, it was a quick find. Thank you

Quick find. TFTH

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

We took the long way home after doing some caches to the north. Found the cache without problems.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks jlotsos for the cache.

I have removed the balloon from the cache as it was very sticky and melting inside the cache.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks jlotsos for the cache.

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 # 1428 for us

Found The Dam Road 10. 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

Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for the cache.

Out catching up with my cousin in Roleystone, so out doing some of the sights, and a quick cache! TFTC.

Organised to tackle this series a few weeks back with Jinta29 and AlliedOz, so with much excitement we met up around 7:30am and got underway.

Did #23 to #1 plus several nearby caches, then after lunch headed South picking up a couple in Roleystone then did the remaining #29 to #40.

Great weather, great company and truly a great series that has it all. Stunning views, some challenging terrain and we learn a bit of history. Yet another part of Perth that, if it weren't for geocaching, I would have never know about or seen.

48th find of the day. Grabbed the TB. Ended up with 52 finds all up. TFTC.

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!

Last one on this very enjoyable series! This one is not for the vertically challenged! We have enjoyed our time on this 'Dam Road' today! Unfortunately we were unable to find number 5 but now we have reception we have some new coordinates so will try it again on our way out to the main road! First we are going to check out the Canning Dam! Thanks jlotsos for the time and effort you have put into your hides. Geocaching has taken us to some amazing places!

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. Love all the hints that you put on your caches. If you need them, they come in very handy. Last one for the day.

After reading the hint before heading in to minimise my time outside in the drizzle I approached GZ and spun around in a circle as it I was performing a rain dance when I spotted the likely host. There it was Snug as a bug. With log signed I decided to check out the nearby view before continuing on my Dam quest. TFTC jlotsos

Thanks for this final hide jlotsos. We headed up the hill to see the dam from here.

tftc jlotsos found while in the area today. i did the series back to front.

Found this on a lovely drive in the hills. TFTC

Quick find. Can park safely unfortunately we missed most of this series because we couldn't pull off the road. Loved the variety of the GC 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 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!

First find of the day.
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

Thought I may as well grab tis one too before turning onto the dam road.
A nice easy find here and I will be back soon to do the rest of the series.

TFTH jlotsos

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, a fav point for the whole series. 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. We needed to grow longer arms for this one though.
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.

Needed the hint to help narrow down the search area for this one and my GPS had be bouncing all over the place and no phone signal.

Nice hide.

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

At last, number 10. I started this today to try our caching on my Vespa by myself with some new tools. It's much slower than in a car with the geospouse. Not because the scoot is slow - it can do 140 - but because of all the getting your gear on and off and managing the GPS. I'll have try and improve my time.

Was walking back to the scoot in the dark with my torch and I nearly had a heart attack. I thought somebody had stolen it. But no. It was just further away than I thought.

Thanks for the series jlotsos

Needed the hint yay for the dam. Loved this series of geocaches. Thank you !

Geo partner went straight to it while I was taking photo of wild flowers lol

Barked up the wrong .. ez find eventually t4tc
