Hooray finally got it. Find it and sign the log as EV. Thanks for the cache and hunt
A reasonably quick find here after solving the puzzle. Thanks for the cache.
I attempted this cache while on a trip to the west from South Australia.
Today I cached around Busselton and a little further south, seeking out a few caches of interest, including this one. It was great to have a ‘rain-free’ day for a change, although it didn’t last for long!
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find this one.
Thanks anywayheidiseeki.

Out in the South West for the weekend, taking a quick break from commitments after a busy week. Thanks to all that placed caches.
Cheers heidiseeki!

Day 4 of WAGB22 week. More fun around Bunbury, and some 4x4 driving to get some way south of the Cape to Cape Walk. This involved, driving, walking and some jogging.
Solid day but not a great haul. 1 FTF, 23 finds and 1 DNF. Plus 20 Adventure Labs.
Thanks to all the CO for their hides.

Down in Bunbury for WAGB hoovering up a bunch of caches to help clear the map of the green dots.
Had a great, albeit long day. Thanks to the COs for their caches.

A few extra eyes and we made a find here TFTH
Down in the south for WAGB, making the most of an additional day and prior to any commitments for events.
Made a good range of finds for the day from Mandurah through to Augusta prior to calling it a night and basing myself in Bunbury.
Thanks to all the COs for newly published or freshly maintained caches I’m sure your inboxes will soon be full!

Day 1 Heading down to Bunbury for WAGB22, collecting smilies as we go, with only a couple of dnfs . Happy to say that this was one of them .. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches for others to find , tftc
This one has been sitting there solved but not found for far too long so we finally knocked it off the list! Quick find! Tftc
Second visit and this time Mrs O spotted the replacement. Thanks for the puzzle and cache, heidiseeki! (P.S. The cache is still disabled)
Back here 3 months later and I will now log a DNF. Didn’t want to admit to it last time however 2 good passes of this area with no joy
Our one DNF for the day. Had some good info from two PAFs but could not spot this one, which is a shame as it's been unloved for over a year. It may well be there still but we couldn't spot it. Thanks for the puzzle and hide!
Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.
Saw this one on approach from the corner of my eye (luckily) should have been much harder. Tftc

Out on a girls long weekend away with ICnothing, Kapelula and Meme28. Thank you to all the c/os for placing the caches and creating the mysteries. We are logging as a team KAMEINGT to save time and paper. Hoping to hit some milestones along the way.
Approached on the right angle - I think that was luck!

We returned for our third visit and armed with a little help from a friend we have finally found this cheeky hide.
TFTC heidiseeki this is find # 10011 for us.

Came back for a second look after a PAF and thankfully we found the tricky cache this time TFTC
WOW! That was very tough.
We searched and searched to no avail before we resorted to the PAF option and widening our search zone. Finally, we spotted the very sneaky hide and signed the log, thank goodness we don't have to do that again.

Finally found after much frustration. At least four visits and a couple of hints needed. Wondered why we couldn’t see it sooner.
Wow. Tough for a 1.5 difficulty. I ended up phoning for help and was thrilled to sign the log and get back to watching the Ironman. Thanks for the puzzle.
An interesting deduction on the Quest here, surgery at the Bypass.
Not medically minded, nor technically savy, we made sure the battery level was all good to go, didn’t want a ‘fail’ on site.
Though the data managed to disappear on approaching the Operating Theatre, interfering technological glitches hindered the operation.
The diagnosis, was to access the data, this had us reaching for the study books, with heads down searching with all intentions to solve this puzzle.
When the Universe aligned, through the powers that be, the operation for the Bypass was initiated.
Very careful steps were taken,
evidence of previous operations on the ground, was this a decoy alerting us to the mind of a very clever Professor, or should I say, Surgeon?
Once the surgery was completed, equipment was replaced as found.
Hopefully the image on your screenshot has become clear Heidiseeki now that the surgery has been completed.
We enjoyed the challenge Heidiseeki
Definitely deserves a favourite point

We’ve had the final sorted for this puzzle for some time. Came over to MR to visit our son who arrives home tonight. A beautiful winters day so decided to fill in time until he’s home by grabbing a cache or two. This looked like it was going to be a dnf as there are just so many potential hide spots for a micro. Definitely not a fan of micros in a bush setting and frustration was upon us as we expanded search area. We were just about to call it quits when my eye passed over something that on closer examination proved to be the well blended in container. Thanks heidiseeki.
Had a look today and, despite the wild weather, it IS there in good condition. Coordinates good to within a metre or so.
Staying in Busso for a few days. Headed up to Bunbury for Rach2 Geo Event then managed to grab some caches on the way back to camp.
Well we actually had a quick look this morning on our way to the event but that was
a no go. This arvo with more info we had a good look and again it was
Out with the phone where is this .......... Well go here do this....... nope no way no cache. We are so blind, how can this be. Well whilst on the phone and given specific ..... detailed instructions Mrs F put her hand on the hide but nope no cache! Sure enough it was on the ground, how many times we walked over it today we will not know. Or when it was dislodged by us, birds or rodents!
Anyways we added our names to the log and then replaced the cache for the next finder. We can confirm though this hide is way more than 1.5 Diff probably closer to 3 on its own without the puzzle component.

Mr F then had further searcha nd hunts and soon was yelping ooh baby Im the one! WTF

Joint FTF with dimor & ex- Muggle partner. I cottoned on to this puzzle immediately (a great idea by the way) but I could not get the checker to agree with me( so rude). In frustration I gave dimor a ring to see if she had checked it out. She had another look, took on board my calculations & with a little tweak I had overlooked we were good to go.
PP1 was on the golf course & we had somewhere to be later in the day......should I, or shouldn’t I? Of course I should! Met up with my partners in crime at GZ but none of us were having any luck. There was no way I was driving that far just to give up so I went to get refreshments to revive us all. Alls well that ends well. TFTC heidiseeki, have a favourite for the puzzle. TFTC (collaboration) dimor & ex mugglepartner

Joint *FTF* with PommieParkin2
I was in the beautiful city of Fremantle when this was published so had a quick look and then deleted email. Was asked the other day at my event if I had seen it. Said yes but didn't give it another thought.
Last night PP2 asked if I had looked at it. This time I did a quick glance and said too hard but a thorough look and a little hint from PP2 about the subject matter I had some viable coordinates except the checker didn't think so.
Hmmm got too many other things I should be doing but had to give this another moment. Lucky for me I tweaked what I had and 'Bingo' a green light on the checker. Think that made PP2 happy too
After allowing Mr dimor a little sleep (he finished work at 3am this morning) we set off for Busselton to meet up with PP2.
We search and searched and even extended our search, as you do when at GZ. Still no luck. Contact was made with CO who gave a little hint, 'Oh good that should make it easy' sadly we had cache blindness but was still enjoying the beautiful day.
Another message to CO and while PP2 went to get refreshments for all the CO turned up and gave a 'little' guidance, well a big guidance as I also had to ask him the date, lol.
Signed log for all and waited for refreshments to arrive
TFTC and 'fun'
Awarding a fav for this tricky hide and to say thank you for your help at GZ

Very hearty congrats for the joint FTF to Dimor and pommieparkin2. Wow, such determination travelling from Freo for it. Glad it was worth it. Well done.
