Thanks for my first find!

Really hard for beginner

Another long trip around AU over the top end with lots of detours. Now heading back east across the Nullarbor.TFTC. Pretty wet today. Quick find.

Today is the fourth and last day of our extra long weekend for Taurus Six and I . We have been staying in the Serpentine / Jarrahdale area . The geocaching plan today was to just clear up as many straggler caches around Serpentine as practical , especially some of the SWH series. We then headed north including finding caches in Mardella and Mundijong , before hitting Byford for lunch . After that we switched across to the Kwinana Freeway / Forrest Highway before making it home to Bunbury at a decent hour to get caught up on life before work tomorrow . We collected a few more stragglers along the way. It was an overcast and showery day , with everything wet from the heavy rains over the past two nights , not complaining though everything looks and smells great after the rain .This was our first eighth find of the day along these back roads near Serpentine . The rain had disappeared and the sun had come out . We were mindful of the near by electric fence , so we were happy to soon have cache in hand . Thanks for the cache find .

Coords had us in the wrong bushes for this one but extended the search (after moving some cut down trees ) and soon had it in hand. Pays to scope area before digging in sometimes! Lesson learnt again. Haha.Signed log and replaced as found. Tftc.MM trees

Out on a bit of a cache hunt before picking my daughter up from a camp in the area.Hunted for a while bit no joy here.

TFTC

Nice fun and a bit of a challenge thanks

We saw a lot of favourite points for the cache 'past the post' so on the way to that cache we thought it was only fair to complete the others along this stretch. Took us a little while to find this one but we signed to log in the end. TFTC jlotsos

Found it!

Found with Deefa71 on our way down to the Collie Motorplex today. Tftc

Tftc.

No longer a trophy

Quick find just lying around under the bush

Found with gilly

Watch out for the electric fence! Woo, that was a shock. No luck for me here.

Thanks for the find. It’s a small not a micro, which meant I was overthinking it a little.

It's a beautiful day so a quick shop and tidy up of the home and off for a day of caching.
Was a quick find here. Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

The Better Half and I decided that it was such a beautiful day we would go do some caches after a quick shopping trip and a small tidy up of the home.

Cache found without problems. Log signed and the cache returned as it was found.

Thanks jlotsos for placing the cache for us to find.

Out for the day doing some suburban caching with 26 finds and a new record of 8 DNFs.

Weather was overcast and threatening more rain after bucketing down early this morning so threw the raincoats in the car and set off towards Byford to hopefully clean up the map some more. We got very lucky with only a few sprinkles during the day but not so lucky with too many DNFs.

Easy find.... Log was completely soaked so replaced with a new log.

Thanks for placing and maintaining Winners Trophy jlotsos!

Container not well sealed, paper was wet

Found it

Nicely hidden

Clever hide TFTC

Log is saturated and is hard to write on. TFTC

A quick find compared to the last cache lol as previously stated the log is completely soaked but I managed to scribble my name down. Thanks again jlotsos for these great caches in this beautiful countryside

Log a bit damp but gently scribbled my name. Rainclouds closing in!! tftc jlotsos

Find #568. Somewhat underwhelming cache considering the others in the series. TFTC.

Very moist, couldn't sign log

Rain and wind now. Stormageddon is upon us. TFTC

Another Winner

Yet another busy road so pleased this was a quick find.

Found it the log that is container has gone maintenance is required

Looked further found the container and a new log so all is good

We found it

Looks like weather may have destroyed it

A nice quick find in a beautiful location on a fantastic day out caching. Tftc.

Nice easy find tftc

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 cache into play.

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.

Replaced the sopping log with a spare piece of paper I had in the car and wrapped the old one in a piece of plastic I found nearby. Great find for the geokid!

A quick find on the side of a beautiful area. Thanks for bringing me here



Thanks for the cache jlotsos, found it at 1:27:00 PM it was cache number 2894 for me and was number 16 in my run of 26 finds and 3 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

The log is very wet and needs replacing

Cheers

Nice easy one for the kids

Log is wet so couldn’t record find on it.

Found on a morning of driving as we head toward 1000 finds. We haven’t cached for a while so definitely a bit rusty.

Good hiding spot! A quick find here after the event in Mundijong. I had never been caching down that way as we live NOR, and I targeted this cache today as it was placed on one of my missing Hidden Dates... Thank you for the hide jlotsos.

In the area finding SWH Benson Boys so we stopped for a couple of others nearby... We seem to be heading in the wrong direction, starting with the winners trophy!

??

????

A quick find... No problems with this one. Thanks

Picked this one up on our way past. Nice quick find, the Geohounds were disappointed not to be let out of the car for this one. TFTC jlotsos.

Happy Easter! Out with axell33 and the geopups for a spot of caching. A nice quick drive by for this one. Tyftc

Quick park and grab..

TFTC

Decided to spend some time this morning with myself and my GPSr and the car with the plan to clear some caches between home the the SWH.

The day was not to warm, but at time hot, but still, nice to find these little prizes in the Bush. Some I made more difficult that they needed to be, and only 3 DNFs today.

___________________________________________________________________

Thanks jlotsos for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 9:22:00 AM. This was my 1 Find for today out of a Total number of 27 for Today. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 3690.

A quick win here!

**#10801**

Took my mum out for a day of geocaching fun. She is great at spotting caches before me and doesn't let me forget it, I think she needs her own caching account.
We started the series at this one and worked our way towards the beginning.
I jumped out of the car to make a quick find here.
TFTC jlotsos

Our last day around this neck of the woods before heading home, this was another find for us whilst caching in the area… Yeah, we claimed the winners trophy!

Thanks jlotsos [^]

Back to avenge our previous dnf here. Not quite what we were expecting and embarrassed that we didn't find it the first time round


TFTC jlotsos this is find # 2595 for us.

Cache not what I expected. Trophy must be gone. Thanks jlotsos for this great little series with lots of animal interaction and scenic country.

Crossed the finish line with a quick find here at the final. TFTC.

Found it

15:56
After a couple of days of coastal caching, we headed inland and picked up quite a few caches as we explored the National Park area and learnt more about the Serpentine Dams. It certainly is a horsey part of the south west.

Thanks jlotsos for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.
