Oh she's stuck alright!!

Found it, pretty stuck

Taurus Six and I have taken an extra day off work for the long weekend so we can meander our way to the Perth Hills where we will spend the three days . Great weather for ducks today not that we are complaining however because there certainly has not been much rain of late and we definitely need it. A leisurely start had us at the Crooked Carrot for brunch before hitting the highway. Our aim was to collect straggler caches in the Peel and Murray areas before switching back to the South West Highway via Lakes Road geocaching along the way . All in all a fantastic day exploring and geocaching and we are not totally wet .This is our tenth cache find of the day. We are really enjoying this area . Like many others before us we spotted the cache and it was impossible to retrieve it . Suggest CO look into this. We still enjoyed the find. Thanks for the cache .

Yep, same problem as everyone else. TFTC

Squeezed in a couple more with KB on a very hot arvo in Mandurah.As previously mentioned, the tree has eaten this one.. haha.Tftc.

Couldnt get this one out so just took a photo. I cant see how anyone will ever be able to sign the log without cutting the tree. Thanks for the hide.

found it but Tree has swallowed it

Suggest a CO check might be required here.

Gees I'm not having a lot of luck here ... cache found but I could not retrieve, appears jammed. CO attention required. Tftc

Sneaky spot. Would have been easier originally but time and tree growth has made it difficult to find. Couldnt get it out

It has been swallowed

Found thanks to the pictures in the messages

Found it but still stuck in tree

Need to bring a pair of pliers to get it out

Found with some me help from messages still firmly wedged

Has been eaten by the tree, impossible to get out now. Only found thanks to someone else's picture

Found but couldn't extract. Not sure how others managed to sign.

Walked in and found the wedged host, lamented that we had a replacement in the car if we’d paid attention to logs before heading to cache.

Headed out with SirFancy for an afternoon adventure and decided to try and clear up this little area, a mission that was successful as I finished with 5 finds and 0 DNF’s.

Cache in good condition.


This is my 4065 find.
Thank you TruSeekTrio for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Nice

Bring pliers to see if you can get it out!

TFTC sadly well and truly lodged

Like other recent posts we could not retrieve it

Yep

Another cache eating tree. This is the best yet. TFTC

Thanks, wish we could get it out.

Still eaten by the tree.

Like the previous, had to be content with a photo.

This cache is very cute having been consumed by the tree- unable to sign but pic shows the cache tftc

Couldn't get it out the tree has claimed it as its own

Tree is hugging it real tight. Great find. Nice and peaceful area, until one dog sees ya

Found it

Such a peaceful part of the earth down here!
Great find but couldn’t get cache out. Tree has grown around it. TFTC and encouraging us to get out into nature

Found but couldn't retrieve cache like previous logs.
Tfth

Found it but couldn't get it out, nicely wedged in there! No tweezers so couldn't pry log out
TFTC!

Impressive how the tree has grown around it! Tweezers couldn't retrieve the log book, so we took a photo. Found with RedRobbin25. Tftc

The cache was easy to find however we could not retrive the cache. I would strongly recommend that you put on bug spray before leaving your vehicle. Found with teamlaroche. TFTC

Couldn’t get it out. Moved the bag with things to the back so it’s not so visible.

Like the previous 2 finders we couldn't get it out so have added a photo

Found it but it’s jammed in tight and couldn’t remove and just then the heavens opened to add insult to injury! I have a photo as proof if required Thanks

Found it lodged way too tight for us to open so may need to be checked. Tftc

Nice to grab this cache, Easy to find on a work morning

Thanks TruSeekTrio for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 09:59:00. This was my Find 4 for today out of a Total number of 10 Finds and 3 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 5067.

Down this way grabbing some caches, we parked up and made the short walk to gz with the geohounds leading the way. After a quick search at gz we spotted the cache but I think it needs to be attended to. I’m not sure if this is the way it’s meant to be. TFTC TruSeekTrio

Caching with axell33 and the geopups. We enjoyed the walk and found the cache but try as we did it was not budging so it needs to be checked. We didn't stay too long as the geopups were trying to have a chat with the locals nearby. Thanks for the cache, it is a beautiful place. Greetings from Baldivis.

Cool

Would recommend bringing pair of pliers and pencil was blunt so could not write in it nice hide TFTC

Nice little hider

Found it thanks to some lovely locals

What a great hide! We searched around, say for a rest and were thinking we might need to give up when...alas, right before us we spied the cache. Yes!
Thank you for this exploration in a beautiful spot we otherwise would never have found.

Ran into Troy today he wanted me to get back to geocaching as this one was just a short stroll way here is first cach since Aug 2016 Tftc

In sight as we walked towards GZ TFTH

Out for a days caching down to Mandurah with Cravo10 to cleanup a few recently solved puzzles and some pesky traditionals that have been on “the list” for too long.

Started caching around 6am to beat the weekday traffic and managed just under 30 finds for the days work with some nice walks through the yunderup and general Mandurah area.

Special thanks to the COs for their caches and choosing to share these locations with us.

Thanks again.

Cute hide. Nice stroll too TFTC

A nice stroll to find this one.
Thanks for sharing this little spot.

Great walk in but I kind of wish I was on the geo-bike. TFTC.

Found with Geobigkid S and geokid Z, gps was about 3m off. Great hide though thanks for the cache guys

Yay

Lovely view in the bend - perfect winters day (t-shirt weather).

Detoured into Yunderup while on the way to Perth to grab these caches. Thanks TruSeek Trio.

Lovely walk to this one. Never been here before. Tftc sl tnln.

Found it. Nice little hide with a nice stroll along the creek. TTFTC Tru Seek Trio

Stopped to grab the 2 Wilgie Creek caches after going to Pinjarra to pick up an MS cache. Walked very fast to GZ as the mozzies out here were terrible. Definitely didn't stop for a rest it was a matter of finding the cache quickly as we were getting eaten alive. TFTC TruSeekTrio

** This is a very late log**

The caches I am now logging were ones I have found since setting off on a geocaching roadtrip with Eaglette2017 - the mission was to pick up just 5 more LGA caches as well as my geocaching centroid to enable me to qualify for a challenge cache over in Victoria that I visited when over there late last year. We had an absolute ball on our three days away, visiting many great locations, having lots of laughs and picking up many smileys.

Since then, I have been putting off logging any caches until I caught up on the ones from that wonderful adventure. Many, many more caches have been found and shared geocaching adventures have been enjoyed since then too, so it is about time that I got down to work on all those outstanding logs, albeit somewhat late.

I appreciate all the effort each of the cache owners has gone through to create and place each and every hide and I do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my usual style of individualized logs. Time permitting, I hope to come back to this log and upload pics from the journey and add a personal note.

Thanks for the smiley I earned here TruSeeekTrio

Beautiful spot and love to see some more caches appearing in the area Thank you for the hide TruSeekTrio

Enjoyed the walk with Gypsy Roaming , a lovely place to find.

{*FTT*} @ 11;17 joint with Pommieparkin2. Yeah we are on a roll. First FTFs of the year we decided to go for a very pleasant walk alongside the river to try for this one & found it without difficulty. Nice hide. TFTC
