Walking the next part of the KEP with MitchDem this morning while it's not stinking hot, nice easy find, TFTC
Out of Perth for the arvo to get some caches. Some along KEP trail too. Quick find here. Signed log and put back. Thanks for the hide
We are back camphosting at Mundaring Weir, so a good opportunity for a drive and a ride to add smilies along the KEP! Glad to find this one and also see the regrowth. TFTC and replacing jasenjanine!
Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
It will be awhile before good ground cover comes back. But this replacement was fine
Thanks for the hide and jasenjanine.

Out and about on the bike doing some more of the KEP series. Quick find here TFTC
pug002 found it 1/6/20 on our last day of doing the kep track before we go up North to the warmth. We will be back to finish off later. TFTC jasenjanine
Staying with friends near THE KEP Track I decided to get a few of them today but it was a bit hot and I took lots of water with me for the bit of a trek. TFTC
Decided to spend some long overdue time out on The Kep Track picking up some caches.
TFTC jasenjanine this is find # 8462 for us.

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.
A Sunday morning with the geodog successfully dedicated to completing the Government Rd section of the amazing Kep Track (and occasional Viper) series - thanks for the caches!
Found it. TFTC jasonjanine. Teamed up with ullyssia and papillon367 for another section of the Kep track series. It was Bakers Hill to Wooroloo, a really great day for riding. Thanks for this series.
Teamed up with ullyssia and Photo-Play for a second bite at this series. We went from Bakers Hill to Wooroloo and had a great day enjoying the variety of hides along the track.
This one took a bit of searching around.
Thank you for the cache and for the series 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. TFTC jasenjanine
Met up early this morning with ssclan with the plan to ride as much of the KEP trail as we could before the rain arrived. Armed with a coffee from DOME we arrived around 7am in Chidlow. With 2 cars we took the second to Wundowie and then headed back to Childow to start the ride.
Great morning with only the 1 DNF, arriving in Wundowie by bike around 11:45am, just as the drizzle set in. From there it was a tour of several of the caches around the town followed by a couple on the way back to Chidlow.
Ended the day with 55 finds, so a great day out. Loving the KEP trail, another 36 completed today but still plenty to go.
Thanks to Jasenjanine for this great series, and for the inventive puzzles and other caches around Wundowie

Headed east early this morning to get some smilies on the KEP Track with Spatialriq. Also picked up some others along the way. Quite a successful day on the bikes with 58 finds and only 1 dnf.
Thanks jasenjanine for a great series and a couple of head scratching puzzles. Hopefully I'll be back soon to complete the rest of the series.

I had the chance for an hour of caching this afternoon after doing some letterboxing in Chidlow and headed directly for this series, picking up where I left off months ago.
Not the last one, but the first one for me today. And this took me a loooooong time to find. Quite a warm afternoon, and the GPS was sending me around in circles. Even after reading the hint it took me quite a while to finally find the little box.
Thanks for the cache 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 !!!!

Got up early and while muggle husband played golf at El Caballo, decided to tackle as much of the Kep as we could today. Had a great time on a beautiful Sunday morning, the first for so long that wasn't wet. Great variety of caches that were well hidden. A fave for this section of the series.Tftc, jasenjanine.
I headed out to this area with the mountain bike for a second crack at polishing off a few more of the Kep series of caches. The weather was getting better with bright blue skies now. There was still a lot of puddles along the way and no one else around. Very peaceful!
jasenjanine - jinta29 found your cache THE KEP - Last One. This is my find #5571 and find #33 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Orrsome Family was onto this one quickly whilst I searched the other last one. TFTC
Headed out for an afternoon with barnzy12 towards Northam. After picking him
Up and being told just wait a minute I need to bring a few things out I got rather suspicious. I at this stage had no real idea where we were heading and what we were to find today.
Steve as always thinks ahead, stays up late and develops a plan. Out he came with a ladder....... Then a canoe and said lets pack them in and go.
In the car he stated he wanted to do a sky, land and water day. I was intrigued to say the least.
The ladder would be used to help us climb a tree and the canoe to save us getting wet instead of going for a "light" swim as its getting rather cold now.
We started of getting some Kep track caches on the way to Northam.
Then stopped in for a field puzzle or two prior to making it to Northam.
Most caches were found in good condition with one DNF and a few a little water logged after the recent storms.
We hopped to find enough today to get B12 closer to the magical 6000 finds that he is hoping to log for the WA Goes Big event in 2 weeks. See a lot of you there.

TFTC! Had a days caching planned with Cravo10 as we haven't really gone out for a full day since our action packed whirlwind 3500 kilometre trip to Kalgoorlie, Leonora, Esperance, kulin and surrounds trip.
Had a sleep in this morning before we headed out on our mission to tackle a few caches on the Lep Track to Northam, with a few others along the way thrown in for good measure.
Planning the route last night i thought of the idea of a Land, Air & Seas day, with the kep track caches forming the land leg, a kayak on the Avon forming the sea leg (river) and the air leg being some tree climbing in wundowie. This was not mentioned to John in the plans as usual as he generally gets apprehensive about these "ideas", so when he turned up I just casually mentioned "I've gotta get a couple of things from the garage", that's when the face changed and I explained about the days "goals"
Anyway we had a later than usual start and tackled a bunch of the caches between mundaring and wundowie along the kep track before deviating to lake leschenaultia. The two field puzzles here chidlows well and assembly required weren't really on the days plans, as I generally have pretty poor form when it comes to field puzzles and I bring along muggle mate come geocacher Numbers Man to solve them which generally costs me a lunch.
Lake leschenaultia turned into the highlight of the day. WP2 of assembly required is probably one of the most fun geocaches I have ever come across. Such a simple task, but quite hard aswell as I struggle to follow instructions!! And chidlows well, was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the earlier logs but we had the container within about a minute of arrival, great job on that one. Tried to take all sorts of backways to grab the final for the assembly required puzzle but should have just walked from wp2, it would have been easier and not wasted thirty minutes of our time.
After completing the lake leschenaultia caches we then continued towards Northam but time was getting tight as we didn't bring any push bikes so we were walking from the car to the cache each time which was slowing Us down significantly. We eventually got to Northam a bit later than expected and grabbed some much needed supplies to refuel the body for our next leg.
We arrived at the banks of the Avon to complete the Avon a swim cache in the geo yaks, which has been on the radar for a while with all the caching growth in the area. We paddled down with a nice strong current pushing us down the river towards GZ, we took some notes from he listing and the maps as we didn't want to take the phones on the water. Was a nice quick find in a logical spot, well the only spot really. And we then paddled back against the strong current which gave the arms a good workout. Only got marginally wet, thankfully as it was a bit chilly!!
We then planned out assault on the tree climbing aspect of the day the eucalyptus cache in wundowie, unfortunately we arrived in darkness and even after coming prepared with an extremely large ladder we still couldn't reach it and didn't want to risk life or limb in the dark for just one cache, so we decided to leave it for another time
All in all another great day out, should be able fo complete the kep series on our next visit to the area which hopefully isn't too far away although the CPS series has really taken a back seat after this series was published!
Thanks to all the COs for their caches. Cheers!

A nice walk along the track to GZ, everything is lush and green after a bit of rain! TFTC
TFTH Geo T and I walked along the track to GZ only to be pipped at the post by the remainder of the crew who had come along the road. All good fun )
Up bright and early this morning to head to Northam with iluvtrekking mainly to do The Kep Track caches. All caches in the series located using a combination of roadside access or the geo-hubbies plying the treddlies down the tracks. A great day out and many thanks to jasenjanine for the awesome effort in laying this series down.
Richlink stayed over on Saturday night so that we could make and early, early start on Sunday morning.
So, with the bikes loaded we headed off in the dark to Northam, "The Kep" caches firmly in our sights. Some of the caches were accessed on foot from the nearest parking spot and others by bike. Although there was some heavy rain storms on Monday and we were wet through we found all of the caches and had a great couple of days finishing up with lunch at The Weir Hotel on Monday.
Congratulations jasenjanine, what a fantastic effort here.

Oooow, I think this really might be my last one....last log finally at least even though it certainly wasn't my last find of the day. I've attached a couple of random photos from the morning; Hiddo took a few too. She moves a lot so it's really difficult to get a photo of her that's not blurry. One more difference between her and my style of caching is that she's ass up and I'm ass down. If either of us was ever to be bitten on the but by a snake it would be me as you'll see in a photo. Thank you so very much one last time (for now!!) for the caches we logged today. I would've loved to have gone end to end today but the poor weather earlier in the Easter break meant we had to change plans to a day when Hiddo really needed to be back for lunch and to celebrate the rising of Christ with her family. A favourite from me and the photos which have nothing at all to do with this hide.
(chwiliwr team catch up log)
I decided that we were going out caching despite the weather so headed up to do some more of this series. Ended up quite wet at times but found all the caches without too much trouble in the rain. Some of them were even found without rain falling on us.
We started at the wier to finish of the few that we missed the other day when heading home and once they were done headed up to where we ended the other day near Wooroloo and continued on from there.
Cache logs were signed and caches returned as found.
Thanks jasenjanine for the cache.
