Out and about again, a beautiful day sunny but not too hot, headed up to Chittering Valley to finish off the ones we didn’t get on IGD22. Driving was easy didn’t need 4wd but clearance helped in a couple of spots today.

Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today

Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Full time nomads stopping in Toodyay for a while.

With the hot weather forecast for the coming week (isnt it Autumn nearly Winter?) we decided to head into the National Park today.

We had fun with the GeoCruiser on the gravel roads, saw lots of other 4x4, even some 4x4 gators, and hikers. then had some close encounters with a quad bike and an emu! Surprised

Wow that 2022 fire burnt hot! Such devastation in this area.

Had a lovely day out in the Valley. Some of the roads were pretty gnarly but we managed to get to all the ones we wanted. Caches were all in good condition and Im glad to say we had no DNFs. Thanks for this series....will return for the Final as its in the wrong direction Smile

With a day off work I made plans to head for the hills and hunt down a few caches that had been on the radar for a while. I loaded up the car with enough supplies for the day and hooked my MTB on the back for the caches I wasn’t able to drive to. I had a blast out here today. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there firnsy (adopted by Lazarus), I was in this area today and found your cache Moondyne Rocks Ψ Neptune GC7GV2Z. I added my name to the log book at 8:26 am on 16 March 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Our little Garmin etrex10 showed this cache -- and some others -- with no name! Could be a software problem with the trident in the name? Anyway... a beautiful area to be caching. tftc

We headed off to the Avon Valley with Everlasting today to hunt down the Moondyne, 7s and MT series of caches. We had a great day out and signed the logs with the team name of EVILT. Thanks to the CO and adopted CO for their efforts.

Headed over today for some 4WD fun in Moondyne country and of course to grab a few caches in the area as well. Was also using the time to scout out for some future camping spots Smile All in all a superb day spent here and although only a handful of caches found the scenery and location is just amazing so very very worth it Smile GZ was obvious but had to be cautious here as there were campers pitched nearby and while they weren't directly overlooking GZ the group was facing directly along the track leading to the final 3 in the series (Diameter, Yen & Delta). I decided this one was possible but I left the other 3 for another time. Crouching over the rocks I got myself to a position where I could search reasonable well without being seen. And thankfully the cache was found a lot faster than Latin! Smile All ok here, and clues all stored away for my next trip over Smile TFTC

Headed out with Kyzabra, Barnzy12 & cravo10 for a spot of caching out in the Avon Valley, it's the first time this combination has joined forces and I'd have to say it wasn't all that bad. Pretty sure they would've a learnt a thing or two. Wink

Barnzy spotted this one and cravo made the retrieval.

Lazarus_68 I found your cache at 7:56am, this was the 4th of 26 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5136. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

A post on Facebook by Barnzy put thexall our for interested parties to join a caching run today so I raised my hand .
An early sstart had myself, Barnzy12, Cravo10 and Granett meeting in Cockburn. We piled into the Pajero and headed out to the Avon Valley for the day.
Another quick one here. Spotted by cravo10


firnsy (adopted by Lazarus), Kyzabra found your cache Moondyne Rocks Ψ Neptune, on 29/12/18. Happy to add my name to the log sheet.
Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Out for a huge days caching with Cravo10, Kyzabra and Granett.

We headed out nice and early to grab a bunch of caches in the Avon Valley National Park.

A great morning out with some nice 4x4 driving by Kyzabra and good finds. One of the finds today fills a gap in second loop of the DT grid.

Thanks for the fun.

Out with Barnzy12, Kyzabra and Granett.
Met up at 6am at the usual meeting point at gateways and was lucky enough to not be the driver for the day, here is to logging caches on time after copping some flack for being delayed.

TFTC nice easy find great location.

A small window of time and we headed over to do the series. A fallen tree at one point looked like it was going to make it a much longer walk but a way was found around. A few Roos about and some hides a little harder than others. Not a bad spot for the final with more Roos and great to find an ammo can. TFTC.
 
19-Mar-18
Another great out with Parkacruz, 36 caches with no dnfs. We both had previously found caches that the other person hadn't found, so in the end we both got around the same smilies. The Avon valley was spectacular today, lot of kangaroos and great vista's. We also dropped off a lot of trackables to continue there journeys. tftc
 
05-Mar-18
We headed out to rectify some previous DNF’s and to claim some more smileys through the Avon valley, we completed the Moondyne series and finale and also found some newly published caches, a great day TFTC

Another obvious structure that was spied from the car as we got close. The kids were again out of the car almost before i had come to a stop ... and it was DangerMouse09 who came up trumps at this one, again without a GPS Smile
The clue was noted, and the cache signed and re-hidden before moving on to the next one .. TFTC Lazarus Big Grin

Woke up this morning, to see that this new series was still unfound and with the Geoson keen for an outing we soon hit the trails chasing some smiles

The plan was to park the car at the designated stop and set off on the bikes. Half way put the first hill we quickly realised that this wasn't bike country and continued on foot.

All hides were relatively quick finds and with the clues noted a Gz for the final was worked out.

The finale was a another fantastic view with a large container which we added some swag to

Tftc Lazarus_68 and firnsy

With the Geoson taking the wheel on the trail back out we passed Jasenandjanine heading in.
