Thank you. The log is very wet. I replaced it under a bit more to help with the rain.
Good hide!I have added a new small roll of paper and a plastic cover to protect. The old paper replaced but quite wet.
Quick pit stop after spending the morning in Northam for work. Pies are always a must!
Hi there jasenjanine. While out on the road today we found this cache at 1025am after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to jasenjanine for this cache - our find 10594 and the 2nd of 61 finds for the day.FieldNotes:
It is possible to have too many pies if you stop in Bassendean first, however it would be rude not to stop here.
Signing as MICKS today as we are all together heading to Meriden tonight.
Cache in good condition.
This is my 3624 find.
Thank you jasenjanine for placing and maintaining this cache.

A quick hint in the right direction from another helpful cacher and we soon had this one in hand. Many thanks for the cache and for bringing us here
Found this cache on the way to work when we stopped at a nearby bakery. This was a quick and easy find. TFTC.
My 0 metres was smack bang in the middle of the platform so I kept alternating sides. Took me a while to find. Figured I deserved a mikshake for a reward. TFTC.
Another weekend, another stretch of the KEP with MitchDem, nice easy find with breakfast in hand front the pie shop, TFTC
Silly me I went straight for what I thought was the obvious without looking at my gos - turns out I was wrong. I should have known better with a jasenjanine hide
Ahhh gotta love a road trip … nothing better on a wet horrid day out caching and converting those greens to sunny yellows Out with Mr and @ Ellemaree and her muggle. Great laughs / fun dodging showers and getting some fresh air …TFTC
Out for a drive with Team Barritts and muggle friends that we are introducing to our great hobby, tftc jasenjanine!
Out for a mornings drive with friends visiting for a few days. Great hide and location, TFTC jasenjanine!
Out and about collecting a few more of the Kep series. Cache in great condition. Wow, never knew about this old station, a blast from they past. TFTC
Out with Lachlan1.77 for a day trip of offroad driving and eating at the best bakery in Perth (Bakers Hill).
Thought we'd grab this one since it was just a short walk away. A brief search and there it was!

Out 4WDing with 777Tiger, and grabbing a few caches from Mundaring through to Bakers Hill and back through Wundowie.
After stopping in at the bakery for a late lunch, we ducked over here for the cache. Eventually once on the correct side of the platform, I made the find.
Cheers jasenjanine! I found your cache today (Sunday 8/3/20 at 15:14).

Needed a break on our drive back to Baldivis from Kalgoorlie. We decided to stop and grab this one. We stepped out the nice air conditioned car into the stifling heat to start our search. Our gps original took us to the wrong place but once it settled we quickly had the cache in hand. We moved to the shade and signed your log and returned your cache back to where it lives. It’s always nice to find one that hasn’t been found for a few months just to do a welfare check. We can happily report this one is still well and going strong. At the rate we are getting this KEP series it will take us another few years yet. TFTC jasenjanine.
Found with axell33 on our way home from Kalgoorlie. We had a quick break to stretch the legs and made the find. Another series started in the middle and may be finished in any number of months or years! The fun is all ours to be had! Thanks for the cache and greetings from Baldivis.
Took the opportunity to grab this one while the others grabbed a snack/ice cream on the homeward stretch from Kalgoorlie
Thanks for the hint - glad to make a quick find as it was about to rain and time was of the essence

Sad to say, but all good things must come to an end, or so they say!! Found this one early Monday morning after packing up camp and hitting the road for towards home, making a rather long day of it, stopping here, there and everywhere, hunting down smileys along the way. Hadn't planned on doing any more of this series, but seeing as how we were passing, we though "why not?" And the pastie I had was scrumptious too. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find jasenjanine.
Quick find heading home from our girls weekend at WAGB Northam! Found with Geogypsys Tftc
Checked on this cache again today after the recent DNF. It has strangely gone missing since we checked on it earlier in the month.
I have replaced it with a magnetic container very close by. Co- ords should still be ok

Out on a caching run with Ooh Yeh today, to continue trying to close in on my magical 2000th find, hopefully before WA Goes Big. Nice quick find here, in this nice little location, log signed and cache replaced as found. Really enjoyed the day out in the area, even more so as the geo-baby stayed happy for us haha! Another cache that i couldnt find on our way to Northam will have another look on the way to WAGB on the weekend
Checked on this cache today ... No maintenance required
Happy Hunting, J&J [^]

As were are staying in the area we thought we would tackle some of the local caches along the Kep Track and pipeline as well as a few others. The co-ords for some gave a general indication of where GZ was, but caches for some were found quite some metres from that point. It was an interesting day's hunt, along with ilook4geo, with some finds being more challenging.
The caches which took us to places where there was signage about the local history were really appreciated.
Thanks go to jasenjanine for this cache placement.

Stopped at the Pie shop for a well deserved lunch and then decided to walk it off down to this nearby cache. Busy reading the description as we neared gz when muggle husband guided me away from the siding. Large brown snake about 2 metres further on from the pipe slithered into a hole under the bitumen. Made a very quick signing of the log (thanks for replacing it) and high tailed out of there with my goosebumps. Now I know why I don't do too much caching in summer.
Found it but log book was to wet to write on but left a Amy man keeping an eye on it.
Nice hide but sadly waterlogged so no way of recording the find... My geocaching partner and I left our mark with an army man!
I decided to go for a ride today and do another stretch of the KEP track. Quick find. TFTC
A nice early start with Neva2old to grab a couple of caches before meeting up with TheMongrel to continue or hunt along the Kep track, we had a fantastic day today with mostly nice quick finds. The weather held out and we only had a couple of sprinkles of rain. TFTC
Out and about with Parkacruz and eventually Themongrel to tackle a few more of the Kep series and a few others on the way. The rain held off although temperature gauge said 3 degrees at one stage and the seat warmers set to toasty we had a great day Tftc.
Early morning hike with the geodog to pick up a section of the Bakers Hill Kep Track series - all were fairly easy finds, thanks for the caches jasenjanine! Note - the log was a little on the damp side.
Found it, good cache but we didn’t have a pen so I will have to come back, lots of ants.
Enroute from Kalgoorlie to Perth and after a great pie stop! A quick cache, thanks!
Interesting place to stop as the fam we were with have been past here many times and not been familiar with the station here. Great cache. Thanks
The clue helped hugely. This station closed in the year I was born. Has it worn the years better than I? Quite probably. T4TC jasenjanine
After such great fun and enjoyment from yesterdays walk, I set out today to continue the trek. I walked from Wooroloo to Clackline. Another hot day, but I took two breaks along the way at Wundowie and Bakers Hill to replenish. Arrived at Clackline around dusk to then realise there were no transport options to return to Wooroloo other than to walk back in the dark. Thankfully I brought a good torch to guide the way. I hope to complete the track all the way to Northam sometime soon. Last find before making a right turn for the pub so that I could cool down for a bit. TFTC jasenjanine
Nice quick find after lunch.
Day 1 of a two day caching trip to Wundowie and surrounds.
TFTC jasenjanine this is find # 3912 for us.

What a sad sight this station is. A quick find. Log damp but serviceable. TFTC jasenjanine
While still in Northam, each day I go out to find a few more of the series caches around the area. Today I was back on the KEP series again. A quick find using the clue.
Found en route from Adelaide to Perth. Thanks jasenjanine for the puzzle and the cache.
Down this way for work again & second time lucky. Yay! Thank you for the smiley
Thank you! I set out with papillon367, Photo-Play and Bindi01 to cycle the Kep track between Bakers Hill and Northam. This was the first find, and happy to have an easy one.
First one up for the day. ullyssia , Papillon 367, Photo_Play and my self set out for a days caching on the Kep Track From Bakers Hill to Northam along the track. This was a quick find here. I had not even gotten off the bike when I heard "Found it" TFTC jasenjanine
I was travelling to Northam for work today. I stopped at the bakery for a pie, and then for the nearest cache. I have finally commenced THE KEP series, I have a long way to go to complete it

Found THE KEP – Bakers Hill Station. Stopped by at Bakers Hill to visit the war memorial. Cache is healthy and dry. SL TFTH jasenjanine.
We have been tackling this series over a period of time and it was time to bite the bullet and get it completed .... So the geowife instructed me it was my time to complete it !!!!!
I packed the car with the old push bike and hit the trail early ......
It was dark when I hit Mundaring so it was out with the torch . Did I mention the weather was dismal !!!!
I managed to collect 81 and no DNFs.
Many different containers used so it was a pleasure to see a variety and the way they were used .....
I saw the history of the KEP track in different stages from the old water pipe to the railway sliding's / landings and the buildings close to the track from that era .
Sorry for the genetic log as I didn't take any notes but will comment on the ones I can remember !!!!
