Another cache vandalised - we aren’t going to replace again as suspects know where to look.
No luck here - had a good look around - heaps of places it could be, but nothing spotted.
I think we picked the perfect weather for this series. A bit of rain hardened the tracks and not too hot. Thanks for the series Team Pathfinder Sorry for the genetic log
Caching in the Greater Geraldton area today. Our intention for the day was to attack some power trails and do map cleanup around town.
Cheers Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder!

Found it. TFTC Team Pathfinder. Nice walk along this track. Quick find once I managed to get to GZ. Replaced as found.
Someone had a mans look so with an extra pair of eyes from a distance we were on to it. Best to wear long pants next time. Cheers TeamPathfinder.
Wanting a pre holiday, holiday and knowing B12 was now a lot closer to home I figured a drive was in order! Up to what could have been even warmer weather than Perth’s yet surprisingly a slightly cooler (still warm) day.
Pleasant trip and fingers crossed on my return the new geocar will finally be ready! As I will need to return this way to collect the others still available just currently I reachable caches!

Our last full day in Geraldton before making the journey home to Perth. With Cravo10 linking into the last few days of the trip to help get the numbers up a bit.
Took an early morning drive out to Ellendale Pool to grab the three caches there and the two at Byrne park before working our way back into town to have a crack at the Wildflower Wander series.
The wildflower wander series was a good walk albeit a bit warm in the noon sun. We made a quick detour down to the field puzzle at quarry walk before rejoining the walk. Managed to find all on the wall bar a dnf on #14. Thanks to the local COs for the fun.

I dropped geo-hubby at the northern end of the reserve while I headed to #9 to start.
Not too many wildflowers around but enough to brighten the surrounding scrub. Found all but one in the series as we wandered the sanding tracks. Thanks Team Pathfinder

Easy find and nice containers throughout the series... so far. Bit of a slog in the sand for Mrs M's new hip but we both needed the exercise and she soldiered on well. TFTC
Lovely morning walk in Geraldton. Thought we would do some caches. Thanks for the cache
Decided to finish off our last day in Geraldton going for a walk to do the wildflowers series. We parked our car near the CO,S house and had a quick chat over the fence with them then went off to collect the caches. A pleasant walk with lots of wildflowers to admire and the co-ords were really good which made finding the caches nice and easy. The last few caches were bad for ants so we quickened up the pace to get them finished. We managed to get our 16,000th find doing this series which was a milestone we were hoping to get whilst in Geraldton. Thank to the CO,s for an enjoyable series will give a fav point for the beginning and the end
Hi there Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder.
We found your cache **"Wildflower Wander #13"** today. (This makes our find count 22834).
Today we headed out to complete the "Wildflower Wander" series. We headed out down the "Ant Highway. We moved fairly quickly but Penny still managed to get bitten.
[:(!] Due to the recent rains there were no animal or human tracks to follow today, although we suspect we spotted some "Mac" tracks next to the remnants of some fat bike tyres. We also found the fork in the road wasn't exactly where we expected it to be.
We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, the fresh air after the rain made the air crisp and clean.
We found 7 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in great shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

(Found #13 without any problem and noticed a legless lizard - don't think it was drunk?) SL TFTC TP
Saturday, fine weather and in need of exercise. A check of the additional Wildflower Wander series showed some more had been published but it was like Ground Hog day again as Team Outnabout had already nailed them. No problems, drove over and parked at the golf club and then a pleasant walk to #14. (Cache, not tee). Doing these five caches in descending order. Not a sole around, very pleasant, birds chirping and wattle flowering everywhere.

I suspected these would come through today when I was at work. Sure did but the work was done and I knew I could escape for an hour or so.
Had to be done.
I decided to attempt from the north and found a nice parking spot. No other vehicles once again so off I went.
Blank log on the first hide 5 minutes later and on to the next. This continued for four more hides so I was happy to claim 5/5.
Back at work in time and not missed. Hmm.
Thanks Ian&Sue. This is a great location and fun series.
