Unfortunately we are unable to maintain this cache any longer and have removed it. Thanks to all those that found and (hopefully) enjoyed this series. Cheers!!

Out and about early to grab a few caches and finish a series we started a little while ago! Thanks for some great caches Jinta29

Out caching for the day to cleanup Byford area. Thanks for the hide

Nice quick find. Tftc

Another day riding the bike at Langford Park followed by some geocaching. I picked of the nine of this series in my CX5. No 4wd engaged, so pretty happy with the track. I will be back! TFTC

2nd trip out here. TFTC

Another new container. It's good to see the damaged ones were replaced.
Thanks for your commitment.

We headed out here to check on the state of the caches after reports of a recent fire in the area. Logs and caches were replaced as required.

Had a trip out to this area and found this series of caches. TFTC

SVKR_WA and I decided to head for the hills and spend an hour or two picking up some caches we both needed. The main target was Jinta29’s Stephen King series.

We headed out early around 6.30 from Mundijong and made the most of the morning

Many thanks to jinta29 for placing and maintaining The Stand (1978). We found it, signed it, and put it back as found. We found this one at 8:57 am on Saturday and this is my find 8292.

Spotted quickly

Headed out this morning with Kyzabra to grab a few. Need to get a few more caching outings for the current souvenir and it’s always therapeutic to get out into the bush.

Headed out to Jarrahdale to wipe off another series out here.

jinta29 SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache The Stand (1978) today at 08:58:46 21 Dec 2019. This brings my find count to 3925

jinta29 - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Nice easy find thank you

We set out to find the rest of the series along this track. It was an eventful day with one live scorpion found, a wasp nest in a tree - I was stung for the first time ever - 3 times . But all in all was a great day. We had 65 finds and one dnf.

Found with buttercup380

Spent a couple of hours today finding caches along this trail. Most caches were found relatively easily, a quick sign and on our way to the next! Thanks for the trail and the cache hide!

tftc

All circled around as a groul here searching and made a quick find after a minute or two. Searched the wrong woody area before finding the right spot, tftc!

Thanks

Family find

Found it. A very hot day to go searching but most of the caches in this serie didn't require a full search. Thanks for the caches along a great scenery road.

We have been looking at this area for while and today we had the opportunity to give it a go. Our goal for the day was to find 100 caches so together with BigRyanFamily and their Prado we tackled the Stephen King and Procrastination series. I have always liked the Stephen King Books so this series was bringing back some memories as we made our way around.
This was one of the longest books I had read up to this stage and another quick find and cache is in good order here.
TFTC jinta29

Day 283 of our 366 day straight challenge. Out with ChrisRG to grab as many of the Stephen King and Procrastination series as we can, with the aim of 100 caches for the day. Sorry about generic logs but time is of the essence. TFTC

Started out at a reasonably early hour with caching partner ilook4geo, as the day was promising to be another hot one. Deciding to only cache for the morning, we headed out along this run to see how many caches we could find in that time. The score was 53 finds and only 1 miss.
Each log had our names added and was replaced as found before we moved on.
Thank you to jinta29 for placing this series of caches.

Out on the caching trail with goingplaces2 for the morning. Had a great time and found lots of caches. Logs were signed, caches were put back and we moved on. Loved the track with even a couple of almost 4WD parts. TFTC.

Out for a morning geocaching with me myself and I! Plan was to finish off the Procrastination Series, then finish off the Book Series, and grab any random ones on the way. And that's exactly what I did!! 57 finds, only a couple DNF's. Pretty happy with that! Apologies for the generic log, but there is quite a few of them!!

TFTC!

Logged together with Outlaw166 while visiting Australia. Most log books were logged as FlashOut to save space on the log.
Thanks for a great trail, we left a story at the first and last caches of this trail.
A big thank you Jinta29 for all the work you did and I managed to get my 8000th cache today.

It’s was last hunting day in this year before event. Found together with Flasharry. Team name “Flashout” Me and my wife are big fans of Stephen King! TFTC!

Not a fan of Stephen King but loved this series. 98 finds today including the Procrastination series and a few others. Great day 4wding through the bush. Thanks Jinta.

Thank you! Out with papillon367 and Photo-Play for a little 4WD action. Happy to make the find here.
I haven't read this book, but I vaguely remember watching the miniseries when it came out.

Found it. TFTC jinta29. Teamed up with papillon367 and ullyssia for a 4WD adventure. After we completed the Procrastination Installation series we started on this Stephen King series for as long as time permitted.

Teamed up with ullyssia and Photo-Play to tackle the Procrastination Installation series and as we finished early in the afternoon we went on to start the Stephen King series as well, remembering the books and movies along the way. No fire through this area and all caches attempted were found without issues. Thank you for the hide jinta29.

Log or stump both are good, especially if it is at the end of the log. SL TFTH, jinta29.

Was a little worried when we got out here to do this series when we saw there had been a fire through this area. But we found it quick and intact. Tftc

Absolutely love Stephen King ( I am his No. 1 fan.....no dirty birds here!), so we decided to tackle this series this morning. Took us just over 3 hours on a pleasant Spring morning with no signs of any traffic. Nice little track, all dry, no probs with the Cruiser but there was 1 spot that would have bottomed out a 2wd.

Found all with no problems, there was some burnt areas at the start with only 2 of the caches (The Dead Zone and Roadwork) affected by fire but all logs accounted for, signed and returned.

This has encouraged me to take a photo of every Stephen King book that I own matching to each cache (I can't believe that I have every one except The Plant!)

Awarding a fave for this as definitely in my top 5 Stephen King books ( in fact its the only book i brought with me when i moved from nsw to wa in 95).

One cold winter morning, two intrepid cachers set off to attempt to collect the Hidden Creatures Souvenirs…

My goal was to find at least 60 caches. I dropped my geobaby off at my muggle MIL’s house (MASSIVE thanks to you Ma! You’re the best!! <3), picked up my favourite geocaching buddy (aka Dad) and drove down the hill. We had already completed part of Jinta29’s Steven King series and I thought that finishing the rest, then finding the Procrastination Instillation series would net me enough finds to get the World Turtle Hidden Creatures souvenir. Fingers crossed.

Before we could get to our first find of the day, we had to do a little 4WDing. (Rather nerve wracking for someone who has only been a passenger and never the driver when 4WDing, but I did it ).

And as usual when it comes to me and Fernio, there was a competition to see who could bag the most finds.

Tally
Dad: 4
Me: 7

Out for a day caching with Chwiliwr finding caches around the Jarrahdale area starting where he had previously left off the Procrastination Installation series the day they were published a few years ago and ending up doing a few of the Civilisation series east of Jarrahdale.

The track where the Procrastination series is located is currently only 4WD as there are quite a few puddles with a couple of 'lakes' to cross. One of the 'lakes' somehow let out half of the air out of one of the tyre's so it was slower going from that point on until we could put some air back in down at the service station down on the highway after we finished finding caches for the day. (Wasn't going to interrupt a fine and enjoyable day of caching.)

Most caches were found without trouble for the first half of the day but had to use the hints on the second half as the GPS started playing up making it a bit harder to find GZ. Some logs were not able to be signed so replaced them and at one cache removed a replacement cache as we found both it and the original on opposite sides of the track.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks for the cache.

We headed down to Jarrahdale today to continue on cleaning up the map and claiming those smilies, we had a great day full of lots of laughs and adventures, we only had one DNF for the day but came up trumps here, most of the finds were nice and quick with coordinates being pretty spot on, thanks to all CO’s for placing the caches, we collected some TB’s along the way and will move them on TFTC

Found at 11:46:00 AM.

Wowee, what a day! Today rudi63 and I made plans to tackle the Procrastionation Installation series. So after getting picked up early for a Saturday we set off and found a couple of caches on the way with our first finds being around 0800 and last about 1430. After smashing out the Procrastionation Series with many variants of our names in the log books - some say wc & r63, some are our full names and some are stamped. Really depended on how we were feeling at each one [:o)] - we paused to consider our next move. Thankfuly we had rudi63's 4WD as although most of the track is passable by 2WD there are definitely some places where the extra 2WD really came into its own. Part way through the Procrastination Installation series we also stopped off to gather a night cache in the middle of the day [8]

The decision was made to start the Stephen King series and then turn off to grab the earthcache. Well that didn't work out as we passed under Nettleton Road when we thought we were level with it. Not to matter as we were flying along completing the series. We had one cache that was burnt out but rudi63 had a replacement that suited this sort of series in his car so the owner need not worry.

After a very enjoyable Stephen King series (they are awesome books as well) we made our way towards the Civilisation series earthcache. On the way I grabbed a couple of caches that rudi63 had already done, including one of the older caches in WA. Earthcache complete, we headed for home but first we went and turned a on the Civilisation series into a as well as stopping off for a couple of other easy grabs.

All in all a succesful day with 105 finds to each of us! Not bad considering I was thinking I would get about 40 today


Thanks for the cache jinta29, it was cache number 2539 for me and was number 55 in my run of 105 finds and 0 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

[:o)]

Mr. Wileyclan and I decided to spend this fantastic Autumn Day caching in the Hills. Our plan was to complete the Procrastination Series, a good outing on any day. But with fairly accurate co-ordinates, the trusty Pajero and some determination, we clear the goal series and then also completed the Stephen King Series. Both were very enjoyable.

Today we also cleared some previous DNF’s, a few more SWH caches and one or two other random stop spots.

We used multiple methods to sign the logs, sometimes the stamps, and sometimes the pen. Some repairs were undertaken along the way. The book titles prompted some discussion on the pros and cons of the various plots, well at least for the ones we recognised
The track was in very good condition, but there were definite places that needed all four wheels driving to get beyond the rut.

Thanks jinta29 for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 11:46:00 AM. This was my Find 56 for today out of a Total number of 105 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. 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 3958.

Acconpanied with Everlasting for the day hunting the caches. Thank jinta29 for the cache.

With Varuna for the day - with very nice weather also scene as well -
we real enjoyed drive the car through the bush land - search, found caches and signed the log. [^]
It was excellent hide spot and nice camo etc. [^][^]
Included the hint - very excellent so no DNF for us. [^]

Thanks jinta29 for hide the caches. [^]

I have not been out caching for an age, so I roped in Rokadz and the fitzys for a boys day out on the road. This stretch of caches have been on my radar for sometime and today was the day.

Generic logs will be the go unless something out of the ordinary happens.


Thanks jinta29 for placing this cache series.

A quick find while waiting to pick up one of the +4 from camp

Been meaning to have a go at this series for a while now and turns out I had a free day today and with the weather looking good and the GeoTriton already fueled up I decided to have a crack. Steven King's "It" was the first real book I read way back when and from then on I became a bit of a tragic. A lot of these titles are familiar but there is are still a few that I hadn't heard of.

Managed to put a smiley on every cache in just over three hours with good co-ords for the most part and the handy hints proved helpful on many occasions. Didn't need to engage the front diff at all but was thankful of the high ground clearance in a couple of spots.

Once I found the right end of the right log i was good to go.

jinta29 I found your cache at 12:58pm, this was the 47th of 57 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4260. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Out for a solid day's geocaching with a dedicated crew - some went walking (including pushing a pram!), others drove - to find this whole series. Wow, what a fun time we had, including some harrowing experiences along the track. We made it though! Thanks so much for this whole series - we had an absolutely great time finding the caches; some of the kids cottoned on to the "pattern" of hiding and guessed where some of the caches would be, and ran ahead without phones to see if they could find any caches without help - and they did! Thanks for providing a great series for kids to do too - greatly appreciated!
My sincere apologies for logging my finds so late - it totally slipped my mind until I was reminded again today)

Took a break from hiding and maintaining, and targeted the Steven king series. Came with big crew!! Some walked, some drove. Tftc and bringing us here. Thanks for your efforts to geocaching in wa.

I've had my eye on this series ever since it was published, as I really enjoyed the close by Procrastination Series. Today 4 out of the 5 usual groups could make it and we decided to turn the path into a series of smileys. Enjoyed the walk out there, although it did start to get a bit warm after a while. Despite the adults usually holding the phones, the geokids were getting good at estimating distances and spotting good hiding spots while we were still aways back. Thanks for making and maintaining this series and looking forward to more like them! All caches were found and most were in excellent condition.

Headed out for the morning with family and their family - muskcat83, janssej & marlsj - some were up for the challenge of walking with some of the kids. Others took the car and some kids and started from the other end. Thanks for the series!

Hi there jinta29 - today was supposed to be just a maintenance day but once done I decided on lunch in Jarrahdale and some caching. This series came to mind and made a great afternoons caching. This was a quick find and the container and log are both in good condition - SL. Thanks to jinta29 for this cache - our find #5157

Yay! Out caching with Team 8Ball and Cassie &Co.
TFTC

Doing well girls

Down from Geraldton enjoying the drive and the scenery with Team Bastholm and Cassie &Co. Thank you so much this series is Awesome .

I'd forgotten that all these containers were the same; helps knowing the size of what I'm looking for. Thanks.

organised with KrabiBoy to hit up some geocache trails and couldnt ask for a better day great finds and great conpany good to be back into the swing of things
jinta29, I found your cache The Stand (1978) on 18/9/17 at 12:02 pm. This is my find #1431 and #57 today.

Headed out with Loudy16 today after managing to work in a caching day into our schedules. We have both been out of caching for a while, so the morning was very slow to start with. We started with a section of the Stand By Me series, and then completed the Stephen King caches.

Lunch was a stop at the Jarrahdale, with a beer or two and a nice counter meal.

After lunch we headed off to complete the latest instalment of the Civilisation Series.

TFTC jinta29.

jinta29, I found your cache The Stand (1978) on 18/9/17.
This is my find #5337 and find #61 today.

Spontaneously met up with Mistraluna to tackle this series after having been overseas for a little bit. Nice little series, all caches were found without any problems. tftc sl tnln

Teamed up with Mrs Jackylegs today for a girl's day out, despite her being jetlagged still after her return flight from Germany. From what I had heard from previous finders, this sounded like a good series for us to tackle, and we enjoyed the drive, the scenery, the company and the swag of smileys we collected along the way. Am very happy to report that all caches were found without any problems and all in good order too. My subaru forester handled the tracks comfortably too, so anyone that has any concerns about the conditions shouldn't let it put them off. We had to be careful around a few larger puddles, but they weren't a problem at all. Thanks for placing and maintaining all of these caches for the rest of us to enjoy jinta29.

Great one!!

Heading over to catch up with I Luv Trekking for an a late afternoon caching after a coffee. It was a great little series. Thank you Jinta29

We met JacobsCrew2 at the Jarrahdale coffee shop on Saturday afternoon for a quick refreshment. Our intention was to make a start on this series and see how far we could get before failing light would get the better of us. We need not have worried though, all went like clockwork and we were leaving the bush track again before dusk having found all of the caches. Thanks jinta29 for a very nice series on an interesting track.

Headed back out with Familysteiner to complete this awesome series. Thank goodness the weather held out and even though we had to drive through some amazing puddles...again we still had a ball. As always we ended up at Jarrahdale Tavern for some lunch and a bevy. Thank you for this great series tftc

Orrsome Family and I were back out on the Stephen King trail this morning to finish the series off. I was a bit worried about the weather but the rain had cleared up by the time we hit the trail, and the track wasn't as flooded as I'd anticipated given the last few days' downpours. All caches were found quickly with the exception of a couple which gave us a bit of grief for a few minutes. I was familiar with most of these earlier books, though again I know them from the movie adaptations. Apologies for the generic log. TFTC

Sorry this is going to be a bit of a generic log. Found the whole series today over a 3 1/2 hour span. All the caches are in good condition. The track was quite wet and the geo-prado didn't come out looking the same as it when I started. Lots of puddles and eroded sections. But you did say you need a 4 wheel drive and at the moment you do. Thankyou for putting together this series. I enjoyed my day in the bush.

Needed counselling after reading this book. TFTC.

Out and about with Barnzy12, catching up on logging from the last 2 weeks. Either as i didn't have reception on phone to load up a cache or didn't have an archived saved list. TFTH TFTC

After attending the Canada Day Event in Bunbury we headed north to Jarrahdale to complete the Stephen King series. Very chilly morning and although there had been a lot of rain the past few days, probably only the track for the last two dozen caches had puddles of varying depth and capacity to negotiate. A great day out enjoying your series jinta29

Staying in Jarrahdale for a long weekend, day one we tackled the Stephen King Series and a few others along the way… Yep, you guessed it! Another quick find

TFTC jinta29 [^]

*Found this while House Sitting in Bedfordale*

*Decided to drop back and collect the one's I didn't get the other night*...

A great series by an author I enjoyed very much most of the time. Whilst my GPS jumped around a lot, the hints made the most finds *Park n' Grabs*.

A short search, found cache, stamped and returned.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment jinta29. A really enjoyable series in a wonderful area with a great drive.

Spent the day with Happy Jacks 55 finding a cache or two. found this one. TFTC

Had a huge day out caching in the backwaters of serpentine jarrahdale completing the Stephen king book series by Jinta29 along a "4x4" track.

We had a lovely morning cruising along the track in my mazda3 which handled the bumps nice and easy with Cravo only having to get out to check the track a couple of times.

We found all containers in relatively quick time with well placed hints and good co ords. We met
Some trailbike riders along the track who were
Most
Concerned about how we got "this far" in "that"! The track wasn't too bad except for a few wet spots with the recent rains.

After completing the 40 caches we had left after our FTF hunt the other night we ventured along to the stand by me Series to cleanup there as best we could along the old disused train line. We found all containers relatively quickly compared to my last visit here with richlinks and jacobscrew who brought me in to help cleanup the DNFs they had from their first attempt. All found in relatively good order.

We then continued around jarrahdale, collecting other random caches including a couple of archived caches which are still there and in great condition.

We finished the day off travelling to cardup and collecting a couple of caches in the local reserve along some sandy tracks which we've always found an excuse to avoid!

Thanks to the local COs, especially Jinta29 for a great days caching. Thanks

Are we going to the movies today? Oh no mostly horror films, must be Stephen King getting into caches! Met up with fratra and PP2 and did the lot plus a few others, some nice drives and puddles.


TFTC junta29 and for bringing us out to this new area for me.

Tackling this series today with megawat60, pommieparkin2 and fratra, on a great winter's day. The road showed signs of the recent rains but both geovehicles handled it well.
All caches were found quickly, thanks to accurate coordinates and helpful hints.
Thanks for another great series in this fine bushland, jinta29!

A beautiful sunny day combined with a new series out Byford/Jarrahdale way was the right combo to organise a caching expedition. We joined forces with pommieparkin2, M4YB and Megswatt60 and spent a pleasant 3 hours tracking down this great new series. 50/50 smilies and smiles all round. What better way to celebrate the series and our success but to adjourn to the nearby Tavern for lunch

We hatched a plan, which is no mean feat in itself, with m4yb, fratra & Sir Richard de Megawat to attack these new caches. We converged on the series from three different directions & set about a very enjoyable morning caching. Found them all in just under 3hours. We signed most of them with variations of MMPPF to save space on the logs. Thanks jinta 29

After noticing this series come out I was keen to give it a go so got together with OOH YEH and over coffee we made a plan to tackle the series.
After continually reminding hubby not to take the 4x4 to work the next day I was relieved to see it in the carport in the morning.
OOH YEH rang and told me she had all the snacks so all I needed was to get to her house and ask her to put my left shoe and sock on with her one arm.
We made the journey to Jarrahdale and started our quest with a quick find and spot on co ords. We found all caches the same and with great hints it was one of the easiest series I have done in a long time which in the state our bodies are in at the moment was very welcome.
Managing to finish the series all in one go was our high 5 moment.
Thanks for the series Jinta29.

after having shoulder surgery last week I cant use my right arm or drive my car which has been driving me crazy not being able to go out geocaching lol...When I saw this series get published with 50 caches up for grabs I was having a melt down then Skippy 46 came around for a coffee on Wednesday and we started talking about this series. We then decided even though Skippy 46 cant really walk as she has a bad back and hip she could drive the car and I only need one arm to find the caches so the plan was made and we headed out this morning to grab them. I'm glad we were in the 4x4 as after all the rain we have had parts of the tracks were flooded. With the hints given all the caches were found quickly except one and most of the time I didn't even use the GPS to locate the cache. Even though we were like 2 invalids doing the series we still managed to find all 50 in 3 hours and we may not of been FTF on any of them but we were happy to be the first teams to complete the series all in one go. we really enjoyed this series and I will give a favourite point for the beginning and the end.
