Ross Reserve #14 VIC

Based on a discussion with the last hunter (lol), I am sure this one is missing, and sadly we will be archiving our Noble park caches as they fall into disrepair.

Couldn't find it
Thank you Pinkpiggy7 for placing and maintaining this cache. I've enjoyed finding it.

Tftc??

Dam, a DNF for me and the other 2 cachers who I bumped into here. And my backup letterbox is miles away.
Hunter

Sadly a DNF here today. We felt we made the correct calls and took us to a likely place as per previous logs but no luck. will put a watch on this one.

Enabling caches again

Disabling due to the current situation

A nice puzzle showcasing the park. Damn I forgot letterboxes have stamps and roaming Howie felt he could brand me! I’ll get him back
Thanks.

I see what you did there... we made sure to carefully select the correct item and then off to GZ. TFTC

Accompanying diana8 on a mission seemed like the perfect excuse for an afternoon of geocaching. We targeted this park as it appeared to have the caches we needed to meet our goal.

Once at GZ, we were a bit confused about what to do. We took a punt and came up with some ciords they seemed plausible... Fortunately we were correct. Applied our stamp (upside down) and were on our way TFTC.

I remember when these popped up and contemplating going for FTF. Instead I left them alone for a time when I needed a wide variety of types and sizes on a given day. Today was that day.
I couldn't quite make sense of this until I saw the Piers. I see what you did there, PP7. Quite amusing. Thanks PP7.

Finally got this one after misreading the map. Another cache type for the 29th of February. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Hmm, a bit tricky! But ClanMagee's app gave us the right GZ and it was a quick find once we got there. TFTC

This was a quick easy find on a lovely sunny day

Thanks for the cache. Pinkpiggy7
Caching with Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

I needed a Letterbox today for a challenge and this was closest. I thought the clues maybe something like that. Found after a little circle work.

Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for the placement and fun.

I attended the geo kids primary school swimming carnival at NPAC nearby for most of the day and took them home early to save a long bus ride back to school. Now it would be time wasted if we didn't take advantage of the situation so we set out to find some of the many caches around here.

Well a most interesting experience here in our efforts to work out the GZ. I will admit we had no idea how to use the information at the waypoint. In true OSHFAM style, I fumbled my way through and somehow found the cache. It was a little bit of experimenting with a feature I had not used before on an app that I used and put in partial information which allowed me to have at least a direction to go in which at that point I had no idea if it was the right direction. I guess I used some logic and a bit of luck was involved too. This game is great as it allows people of all abilities to make finds in whatever way they can, no matter the method used. I must ask the CO next time I see him what I was supposed to do at that waypoint.

Cache and log in good condition.

With nothing much of interest to photograph here, I snapped a photo of the new growth of a nearby tree. Plants are amazing how they can regenerate themselves year after year even after being cut down or damaged or much more devastating events such as the recent bushfires our country has had recently.

Thank you for the cache here Pinkpiggy7

Thanks to a previous finder I was able to use my app to work this out. Thanks for the stamp. Dropped of a trackable to continue its journey. Thanks for this cache. Find No: 1055

Work out the calculation via Geocaching Toolbox last night so came back to find the cache today. Never thought that I should use cachly app to work out the bearings - silly me ehh!!! Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for pacing this cache.

Found @11:07 #7172
Out on a run with ahomburg this morning and a good stash of variable hides but similar containers. Fun times. Its been awhile for me having lost some motivation for this game but its comibg back.

SedgwickDave and I are regular caching mates and we had not been out caching together for a while. So After parkrun this morning, headed out for a bit of a local... ish caching run.

Another quick "Walk by"

Many thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for the cache. TNLN.

I had a couple of hours to spare and the weather was wonderful so I decided that I would grab a few of the Ross Reserve series. After making the required calculations and projection it was off to the GZ. A quick find. TNLN. TFTC.

We found this cache today on the way home from an Alien Hunt. Followed the instructions and soon had the cache in hand. Our 46th Letterbox cache. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Found with day1976, we got to the coordinates and I guessed which way we needed to go, before we worked it out, and I was correct. A small search and I came up with the cache.

Found this cache as part of Ilukaperi and my's quest to find as many "other" type caches as possible for 2019

I had already pretty much worked out what I thought the values for A and B were from the info on the cache page alone. But on arrival at GZ my suspicions were confirmed and I was able to calculate a very plausible GZ, which is where we found the cache.

TFTC!

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

*Found on the 13 Dec 2019 @ 4:13 pm.*
*Cache find # 10216.*

Another on the way home non trad find, I had already done the projection for this one before arriving so it was straight to GZ for me where a very exposed cache was found, log was signed and cache replaced with a bit more cover.
Getting closer to my goal now.

**Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.**

Out doing some pre-Christmas chores and looking for streak caches a long way from home.
A nice short letterbox, short in walk but not in time. Ended up projecting a couple of finals because I wasn't sure of which pylons to use, the ones really really close or the ones a little bit close but not really close. Then my projections in Cashly screwed up and I redid it in Geocaching Toolbox, this time with success on the fourth try. How to make a simple job difficult

Cache found all in great order. Thanks for the find.

TFTC and bringing us here, had a great afternoon with TroyfindZ. This was my first projection and managed to work it out with not to much trouble! Great hide!

Went for a walk along the skyrail this morning. Projection was good and the cache was quickly spotted at GZ. Stamped my green elephant in the logbook. In good condition.

On the bike for some caches today.
This was my first cache with a projected waypoint, a little bit of learning on the spot and I was all good.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7

I was passing by the Ross Reserve and with a few minutes spare I stopped to look for a couple of caches. This was the second I looked for. I had a pretty good idea where it might be based on prior logs, and as I walked in the vicinity I saw a likely spot. For once my instincts were spot on! TFTC

Managed to spend a late afternoon picking up a few relatively recently placed caches near to the new skyrail and Ross Reserve. After a few finds nearby I drove by the posted coordinates for this one and was able to spot what I needed. made a quick calc for GZ and parked nearby. I was able to spy a likely target from a distance and headed there on foot. My hunch proved to be correct and I soon had the cache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the letterbox cache and your other placements around here Pinkpiggy7.

Turns out we had parked our car only metres from the cache.
I enjoyed the calculations on this one.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7.
Chiefton!!!

Well this one went really well until I got to GZ where a council worker was mowing the lawn. After a few minutes what looked like his supervisor came along for a chat a bit away from GZ and I was able to complete my business.

Thanks for the fun Pinkpiggy7

My 5th cache today and also my 5th cache ever found in Vic. The 5 caches were all different types too, so I up my ‘different types in a day stat’ up to 5. Will drive down from Sydney for the St Arnaud mega soon and plan to top that. Anyway the piers were easy to find and with careful deduction figured out the co-ords of GZ. Happy GZ was very close to where I parked my car so made for an easy end to my strolls around this park today. Found cache easy, signed the logbook and replaced as found. TFTC!

Information collected, then back to the car to work on the calculations. My phone died, even though I still had 30% battery life, so it was up to Steve to come up with answers. I was a little dubious when we started the search, but he came up trumps, and I could see the cache on our approach. Stamped log, then covered with more camouflaged.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7. We’ll be back to continue this great series.

My last day of work in the area so tried to finish up early, so I could smash some caches.
So many muggles around on a Friday arvo.
Cheers for the cache

Straight forward find for us today. This time the projection worked ok and we got to Gz where I found the cache as expected. Thanks Pinkpiggy7

Great to see letterbox caches !

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for Ross Reserve #14

A cache we visited first but headed off to pick up another nearby before heading off to GZ, the projection proving to be no problem. G' was on to the cache straight away when we got there for an easy find

I headed out today to enjoy the blue sky and sunshine. Noble Park looked like an ideal place to do so. I can't resist a letter box cache. This was a nice straight forward find.

**Thank-you to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this geocache**

With a couple of new puzzles in the area I noticed the other caches in Ross Reserve so a plan was made to head to Noble park for a days caching, not the sort of area I would normally come to and the next caching trip I am going to go bush to recover from the stress LOL. The fight down the freeway on the way home was incredible, I so love living and working in Warragul, I don't miss driving the Monash. Did the calculations and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

Worked it out at home and was spot on.

It was a cold and wet afternoon but since I was nearby I decided to go brave this not so lovely Melbourne weather. I situated myself in a carpark nearby and made my way to the skyrail. I quickly collected the information I needed to work out where GZ was. I headed quickly to find the cache while getting soaked. The cache was easily found. Log signed and replace. This was fun, especially in the wet and cold.

TFTC Pinkpiggy7

Found after a bit of trouble. I calculated the projection with my GPS but it put me in a grassed area. I got out the tablet and recalculated the endpoint and got a better result with GeocachingToolbox. Found the cache and stamped with my custom stamp, then signed and dated as well. TFTC

We found Ross Reserve #14 on our wet and windy caching Run

A quick bit of problem solving deciding which pier to use first led is to the cache. It wa out in the open so covered it again.



Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache and being a part of out geocaching adventure

Decisions, decisions. Having walked some distance from the last cache, I soon found myself having to decide what to use. After some consideration I crunched some numbers and came up with an answer that looked quite reasonable. After locking in the new waypoint I proceeded to the spot and soon had the cache in hand. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

I knocked off from work and headed straight to this area today to do the new caches. I really loved the variety of caches the CO has put out - such cheeky fun throughout all, and tricky little challenges that test you a bit but mostly just make you smile!
Well this one certainly tricked me. I was following my GPS to WP1 and I assumed where it was leading me but decided to stop because of newly sown grass. I calculated GZ but on arriving something was amiss. After a few puzzled minutes I revisited WP1 where I realised my mis-calculation - very sneaky/cheeky! Nice work on these caches Pinkpiggy7 - loving it!

What a beautiful weather today. Found your cache today. Pinkpiggy7, thank you so much for placing it.

Found on 30 Jul 2019 at 8:39 pm.
It was a nice clear night so with 2 of my geokids I headed out to continue my Mystery at the Museum campaign (only 2 to go now) but mainly to get a cache for a different project I am working on.
I tried quickly to work out where this would be from home but on arrival it wasn't quite right so took a long 90m trek to the start location and soon worked out my problem. A bit sneaky!
Once that was sorted out and soccer training had also moved further away we were soon signing the log.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I love these power trails.
Another quick and easy park and grab.
Thanks for the cache Ross.
