It is a fast trip down to Mandurah. Geowife dropped me at Madora Bay at 5 pm and was required to meet up at Mandurah Estuary Bridge Fishing Jetty by 7:30 pm with my geobike. I managed to collect some yellow smiley and visit some with blue faces. The nice sunset with many people at the beach side which increases the difficulties of collecting more. Today collection rate is 50%. Spent most of my time around San Remo.About the cacheThe cache is a few meters away from the coordinate. The tree may affect the GPS. Extended search is required sometimes.

Have had to put a new camo cache in play as the previous cache which was a custom made one has found a new owner(hopefully) which as we all know is not how the game plays is it?

The original cache just whistled out “ I’m over here”
It’s biodegradability has blended really well

Find 14 of 32 with two DNFs on a bike ride from Marlee Reserve, to Black Swan Lake and then across to San Remo for lunch, then back again once we were fed. Today was all about numbers, needing 52 to make 300 for the month. We had 20 from the morning and 32 left to get, so this was perfect. Some of these were not quick finds, mainly because of the creativity and variety of macgyver1973's hides, which were pretty much all awesome!

Yeah, this is a good one from the workshop. Nicely done.

TFTC macgyver1973!

Out grabbing some caches before the storm sets in. We found the brown stick the other day so we thought we would hunt for the black stick. This one had us searching for about 5 minutes before Leega made the call, a lot quicker than the brown stick. We added our names to your log and returned your cache back to where it lives. Cool cache another favourite point coming when my stocks are replenished. TFTC macgyver1973
 
24-May-20
Found with axell33 and the geopups with a storm whipping up around us it was windy and wild so we were glad to find this one before the rain came! A bit of a search, but not as long as your brown stick. Loved the creativity! Thanks for the cache and greetings from Baldivis.

On our way back to the car the twins didn’t think I was heading the right way for a bit but soon realised the path through the bush was there.

Once we got to GZ we set about the search and Mr Z claimed the prize after a couple of minutes.

This was by far our most admired cache of the day and a favourite point is coming your way.

Thanks macgyver1973 for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1964 for me.
 
04-Jan-20
Fairly easy find

This took way longer to find than hoped. I searched all the wrong places, constantly repeating “Black stick” in my head. Finally I discovered the huge matchstick and continued my ride. Thanks.
