On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. SmileDay 48/74, Saturday. How lovely - the whole day just for geocaching. Smile I had two main targets today: To find the oldest cache in Victoria, and to find one cache with a D/T combination that I needed still for March, for a Finnish challenge cache. In addition, I visited - hmm - 100 other geocaches, mainly the Mt. Disappointment Driving Lesson trail caches but some other too. Smile The day was really hot again (well, for a Finn, anyway), but I totally enjoyed. SmileThanks for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland!

A trip to this region of the Australia was planned. In order to search and find a few caches here, various caches were dragged onto the Garmin. When we got here we saw a nice power trail. Without further ado, we organized various groceries to make ends meet. Filled up the rental car again and off we went.Our 4 WD-Truck is ready for this trip!After some time of starting this challenge, we came across here as well. We had to search a little longer for one or the other cache.Thanks to the owner for laying, caring for and guiding. TFTCKind regards from Germany

Waking up in Rutherglen this morning, it was raining cats and dogs. So we decided to head south where the skies were clearer and attack some more of the Mt Disappointment series. We had been here a few years back and did a chunk of them, so it was good to be able to revisit today and knock off a heap more. We only have a small handful left plus the challenge caches left up here to do after this trip.

A lot of the older caches need some loving, the logs were pretty bad at some of them but it was great to see a heap of original containers (loved the ones with the engraved lids). We were fortunate with the weather here, only one small shower and the roads were in pretty good condition. Seen lots of muggles with their trailers and chainsaws which was concerning (being there are allocated firewood collection points for muggles).

Thanks for the trail carkisser & JSando, apologies for the cut/paste logs, glad to be able to get some more smilies up here. Thanks for the fun day out in the mud FFLL Big Grin
 
07-Apr-23
It was pouring rain when we woke this morning so Rapidlywild and I decided to head up to Mt. Disappointment to hopefully get out of the rain and try to finish off this trail that we had started a few years ago. We were lucky to have a clear day with one quick shower while on the trails. A successful day although we still have a few to go as well as the challenges, we will be back one day.

This trail could really do with a maintenance run and some TLC. But there are also still a lot of original caches here too which was good to see.

Thanks for the trail carkisser & JSando and thanks Rapidlywild for a fun and busy day.

Whittlesea Mega Trip Day 5. Now that Mega weekend is over I decided to stay on for a bit to try a bit more caching in the region. First was the Markets event. I then headed into Mernda to do the Labs and some of the caches there, but it was frustrated by some very heavy rain storms. I went back to the show grounds for a break before deciding to have another go at some caching, this time at the base of Mt Disappointment.

Thanks for the cache carkisser

Out caching for a second day at Mt Disa with The4wdShed and SearchingForMacca. Heaps of caches in this area so we thought we'd get some off them under our belt. Nice quick find. TFTC

Out helping with setting up there forest for a car rally tomorrow and I was meeting the director at the start of stage 1 so left home a bit earlier to hunt some more of this series.

This one was a quick find

Thanks to carkisser and JSando for this one at the series.

Turns out there’s a car wash at Broadford and, what do you know, more powertrail caches on this side of the hump May as well get it dirtier before washing Lovely day once the sun came out. Did a bit of maintenance on the hop and will note in those cache logs.

On our way back from Strath Creek to Wallan we decided to stop for a few of the Mt Disappointment series. Another quick find - the GPS devices seem to be a little more reliable! Now on to the next. Thanks to carkisser & JSando for the cache.

Find number 9370 at 10:37:31 am on Saturday the 24 April 2021
Came up this morning to do some maintenance on my Letterbox just down the road, figured I might as well grab a few more of these caches along the way.
Most caches were found in good condition but a few were damp or wet. Didn't look for any of the disabled ones.
Still wondering if this power trail is going to grow again?
**Thanks for placing this cache carkisser**

Today was planned as another triangular drive into Wandong and back to find whatever caches we felt like. A bit hard to stay on track here actually. The caching was fine and successful, but the town blew me away. It is so pretty, calm and peaceful compared to the general mayhem of the world at the moment. The bakery was a treat too.
The drive itself was enjoyable and all caches that we went for bar 2 were found - one DNF and the other replaced - they will be logged separately. Excuse the generic log but I think we found about 70 today and it was not possible for us to find that many in a day if we stopped to make notes and completely impossible for us oldies to remember individual caches.

Thanks again carkisser & jsando for this remarkable trail. All logs were signed SG and dated.
 
02-Feb-20
I’m back for the 3rd time roaming the streets of Mt Disappointment in an attempt to double my finds to 1000 by 29 Feb. Ridiculous! considering I was at #400 17Nov and #500 28Dec.

Two days after our last trek to the mountain, Team ZACAATT returned in an effort to finish what we had started.

Not entirely sure what would happen with the weather we headed into Whittlesea for the first lead up event to the next Victorian mega. Our plan was to get the last lot of the Mt Disappointment trail, but we were prepared to turn around and drive home with thunder storms predicted for the day, but as the meet ended, the sun was shining and we took off, first taking on caches that we had DNFd on our very first trek up the mountain in 2017.

Then it was on to the caches that we missed two days before. We had a completely different day for the third time. Zedaycee and AngéliqueAnja both took falls and there were a collection of bugs and spiders that returned to the car on unsuspecting cachers.

At one DNF location (we DnFd 2 today) we found an adorable little lizard sunning himself.

Eventually the rain and the thunder and the lightning did come and we had to make the decision to turn around and go home. It was windy and pouring as we drive home, 8 more caches that we had planned to do left undone.

“Not as you represent it. Had she merely dined with him, she might only have discovered whether he had a good appetite; but you must remember that four evenings have also been spent together—and four evenings may do a great deal.”

“Yes; these four evenings have enabled them to ascertain that they both like Vingt-un better than Commerce; but with respect to any other leading characteristic, I do not imagine that much has been unfolded.”

“Well,” said Charlotte, “I wish Jane success with all my heart; and if she were married to him to-morrow, I should think she had as good a chance of happiness as if she were to be studying his character for a twelvemonth. Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.”

LORD POLONIUS
Good madam, stay awhile; I will be faithful.
'Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
'O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers;
I have not art to reckon my groans: but that
I love thee best, O most best, believe it. Adieu.
'Thine evermore most dear lady, whilst
this machine is to him, HAMLET.'
This, in obedience, hath my daughter shown me,
And more above, hath his solicitings,
As they fell out by time, by means and place,
All given to mine ear.
KING CLAUDIUS
But how hath she
Received his love?
LORD POLONIUS
What do you think of me?
KING CLAUDIUS
As of a man faithful and honourable.
LORD POLONIUS
I would fain prove so. But what might you think,
When I had seen this hot love on the wing--
As I perceived it, I must tell you that,
Before my daughter told me--what might you,
Or my dear majesty your queen here, think,
If I had play'd the desk or table-book,
Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
Or look'd upon this love with idle sight;
What might you think? No, I went round to work,
And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
'Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star;
This must not be:' and then I precepts gave her,
That she should lock herself from his resort,
Admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
Which done, she took the fruits of my advice;
And he, repulsed--a short tale to make--
Fell into a sadness, then into a fast,
Thence to a watch, thence into a weakness,
Thence to a lightness, and, by this declension,
Into the madness wherein now he raves,
And all we mourn for.

Day two of my driving lesson. 7:00 to 12:30. Thanks to finding a few more yesterday than planned I was able to sign off on things here by lunchtime, which left me with plenty of time to drive up country to my next destination at a leisurely pace with a coffee stop or two along the way. Once again thanks to carkisser & JSando for placing and maintaining this series. Cheers and TFTC

NO CLUES OR HINTS IN THE FOLLOWING TEXT

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
I’m currently working on a Project-GC challenge to get the average word count on my logs over 200 words.
So please ignore the rest of this log as it is just nonsense and song lyrics.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she, had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful, when
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Dad’s Mt Disappointment Driving Lesson Run Number Two.

Well after a much later than anticipated start the Inspectorrex team got to work where we left off. Starting at cache # 138 and made it thru to cache #227 which was the end of a string and a long to go back to get to #228. As light was fading fast Along with a couple of side caches not related to this series. Apologies for the generic logging however these caches were all logged in the evening after the days caching was completed. A very big thankyou to carkisser and JSando for setting up and maintaining this wonderful power series. We will be back in May to complete some more of the series.
This cache is now hidden at the base of twin saplings as there is no log here.
Thanks for the Caches from the Inspectorrex team.

Great day out with Team Justice, successfully completing this wonderful series in a day. The challenge has appealed to us for a long time, and it was incredibly satisfying to be able to complete it. Throughout the day we often marveled at the size and quantity of the containers you must have had at home in order to lay these out. Thanks so much carkisser for this astonishingly ambitious and well executed series. We loved it!
 
28-Dec-18
A plan was hatched with Clint & Abby over 12 months ago when we saw these caches come out over time. We could get 100, nah, let’s get them all and soon after a few drinks we decided to attempt the lot in 1 day. Time passed and somehow we found ourselves talking about it at a recent event (yes, and more drinks). Let’s do it after Christmas, ok. So, we meet in Wallan at 6am to begin the long day.

We had a few ideas to speed up our caching given we were trying to find 300+ caches in a day and that our previous record was about 60 in a day so this was going to be tough. We put the GPS and pens on lanyards do we could keep our hands few when getting the cache and didn’t have to pick up or get things out of our pockets. We did shifts of 1 hour, so one person did the driving, ate, re-hydrated and relaxed, while the other cached for the hour. The driver also provided the clue up front between caches as the cacher counted the distance down to the cache.

Now to the clues. Tree, stump, log, rock! We were getting a good chuckle over the clues, ‘beside tree’, we are in a forest! We found some of the ‘logs’ were not yet logs (i.e. trees), but they were close most of the time. We thought there might be some sort of random clue generator sometimes.

To the numbers. 330 caches attempted in 10 hours and 22 minutes. We had 7 DNFs and a total of 323 finds. This meant an average find time (including DNFs) of 1 minute, 53 seconds. We were quite amazed at the speed we could go and how quick you could find, sign and move on. It also comes down to the great containers laid out by carkisser for this power trail. Nice and large, and easy to find and extract the logs. We only came across one Eclipse time late in the day. Our biggest hour of finds was our 5th hour of 42 finds. This averaged out at 1 minute and 25 seconds per cache.

Overall, we had a great time as it was a challenge to push ourselves to get all these caches. We loved the layout and the effort to place all these caches. Thanks so much to carkisser for the caches.

#8793 - 12:26; After a weekend of caching with Sol de lune in Melbourne in conjunction with the Parkville 2018 Mega, it was time to head back north along the highway for home. Took a short detour so I could collect a few more in this series, which has seen a bit of action this weekend! TFTC carkisser & JSando Smile
 
16-Nov-18
Thanks to the long weekend back home, I was able to pop over the ditch for the mega and a ‘few’ caches along the way! I was really after the numbers on this trip, planning to achieve 50+ each of the three days for a challenge – something that is getting much more difficult back home! The weather was great and I had a ball thanks to all the CO’s placing great caches!

I left a couple unfinished tails on this trail, and I am glad to report that I was able to come and complete the rest on this trip! TFTC!!

I had a great day out today after LouLou0212 and myself picked Gabs1963 up for the airport. We headed to “Melbourne’s First” and then onto this trail as Gabs1963 has cached our her 450km radius, so she wanted some “easy numbers”. Thanks so much for placing this trail carkisser

Would like to thank everyone for there caches and there effects hiding then for us to find.all Tftc.

We arrived in the area with a particular plan and that was to do the Dad's Mt Disappointment Driving Lesson trail. All caches were found or replaced (with the permission of the owner) Some still need the logs replaced but we ran out of supplies.
This trail was done with Hans and Linda, the jumping in and out of the car was shared, the driving was shared, lunch was had on the trail where ever we found a place that appealed to us.
Some shots were fired near one of the caches which startled the crap out of us. We did not think that you were allowed to shoot here. The roads were a mixture of good, bad and ugly. Thankfully it was dry it did try very hard to rain but all we saw was not enough to wet the car or us.
We apologise for the generic logs, this does not mean we thought any less of this series. We appreciate the effort that has gone into placing this trail and maintaining it, this is why we were more than happy to help with some maintenance.

TFTC. For many years I was a mad keen cyclist. One our clubs favourite routes was from Wandong to Broadford to Seymour and return. Today after finding Victoria’s 1st we were driving back to Melbourne. I could not resist reliving some past memories by driving this part of the Mt Disappointment series. Thanks for the memories and the caches.

Away for a long weekend of caching with Freddo and Four Fun.

Over 300 caches in 4 days means that the logs will be mainly generic.

The main target of our mission was to finish off the Mt Disappointment series. We achieved our target along with other caches as we headed east and then west.

My apologies for the generic logs.

Logging a find as part of the 4FW crew for this giant series. A lot of work has gone into putting this series together. Thanks to Dad and your helpers. All caches were found and logged. The driving was a lots of fun on a beautiful day.

This is my third day getting Driving Lessons. I must be difficult to teach because I haven't finished all the lessons yet. A prefect spring day - I didn't meet any other cachers. I will drop a few Hearts along the way in recognition of the mammoth effort put in by Carkisser and JSondo.
Two caches were missing, 285 and 140. Thanks a million carkisser and JSando.

#3224 A big day of caching with the aim to collect big numbers and collect a bunch of souvenirs. The geohounds tagged along for the adventure. A cool day with the temperature floating around 7-9 degrees, but much fun had. A handful of dnfs but lots of finds. We found the coords to be pretty good, a few damp logsheets but no trouble signing. Thanks for all the effort carkisser and JSando.

No problem locating this cache. We moved it slightly towards the road as it was placed behind where the new fence is being constructed. All good now.
