Another quick find from this series. Thanks

I was heading to the Scouts' last performance of the 2023 Gang Show at Hawker College and was still in need of a cache. The weather had not been favourable all day, so an easy cache was just what I needed.

Quick find.

Tftc. Nice quick find

Second cache, thanks

Wasn’t able to sign the log as my pen was dead but took a photo of the logbook as proof (attached).

Reasonably quick find amid a pretty sunrise. A splendid spot to pause during a morning jog, especially when the cache is in arm’s reach! Cheers GreyHams

P.S. today’s wordle (image attached) was very relevant to this cache’s excellent theme! Coincidence ?

Out doing one of the Walk Canberra’s 100 Suburbs walks without a pen - quite a few caches on this route. Took a photo instead. TFTC

Thanks

FOUND IT!!

Found it

My last cache for 2021 in the ACT. Quickly spotted and retrieved. Thanks GreyHams for placing this cache.

GreyHams ... your stories and hidden treasures have lead me to another part of this most delightful community.

I landed quite near where I was being lead, and had the choice of making my way to the chosen spot by either taking the upper route, or going under ground. As I had no visuals of any inhabitants, I chose the former.

The trinket was easily found, however, I endeavered to look casual while scribing my name should any of the locals be watching me from their windows or the privacy of their own property.

I made haste away to my waiting vehicle and just in the nick of time, for as I made to depart, I did notice two individuals who were most likely locals, casually walking past the trinket hiding place, holding some sort of sporting implement.

This area of town I have found to be quite pleasing. Thank you for telling your tale of adventure and enticing me to visit. I shall most likely return for more adventures and hidden trinkets that await their discovery.

Nice hide TFTC.

A fast roadside park and grab. TFTH

With original plans to head up Mount Majura, I heard those magic words from the Geo-Mum, "I feel like going to a café". This is great because it allows me to go way further afield as I can get Mum to drive out a bit further than normal!

So I wanted to go to Evatt because of a particular multi however the plans holted (get it?) and we were going to Holt instead which was a bit annoying because there was not a lot of caches where the café was.

However I was dropped off at Holt shops and did this loop on the bike and then slowly made my way back to the the café. I had a time limit which did limit a couple of things however I managed to still make it back without going too crazy. Then after than a stop at Belconnen to do some shopping and get a special cache because it had a rare attribute...

TOTAL FINDS FOR TODAY: 13

THIS CACHE: I love The Goodies! It is a great show! So good that I even bought the whole series and this one episode is defiantly up there as my favourite! The cache itself was easily located and surprisingly open. Hope it doesn't get discovered by any muggles. TFTC GreyHams!!

What an adventure. Found it, and had a great time.

The robot clicked disapprovingly, gurgled briefly inside its cubical interior and extruded a pony glass of brownish liquid. "Sir, you will undoubtedly end up in a drunkard's grave, dead of hepatic cirrhosis," it informed me virtuously as it returned my ID card. I glared as I pushed the glass across the table.

He heard the loud impact before he ever saw the result. It had been so loud that it had actually made him jump back in his seat. As soon as he recovered from the surprise, he saw the crack in the windshield. It seemed to be an analogy of the current condition of his life.

She asked the question even though she didn't really want to hear the answer. It was a no-win situation since she already knew. If he told the truth, she'd get confirmation of her worst fears. If he lied, she'd know that he wasn't who she thought he was which would be almost as bad. Yet she asked the question anyway and waited for his answer.

Spending time at national parks can be an exciting adventure, but this wasn't the type of excitement she was hoping to experience. As she contemplated the situation she found herself in, she knew she'd gotten herself in a little more than she bargained for. It wasn't often that she found herself in a tree staring down at a pack of wolves that were looking to make her their next meal.

My apologies for the late logging of this cache. I admit that for these two weeks I have been concentrating on GCA Caches. Result ? I am only finding, and eventually logging, the minimum of GC caches to keep my streak going and fill my calendar for whatever it is I need that day. Today it was a cache for my streak and having just missed a nearby cache for the second time, this became my target, A quick easy find at GZ. TFTC SL

Once the Gps settled down took me to the correct spot and spotted it okay.Thanks

Good one, took a bit of a search

Quick find late in the evening after a busy day. Nice to get my cache for the day without any trouble. Tftc
