Tricky to see thanks

Unlike yesterday when we were driving through bush, today it felt like we were driving through rainforest. Everything was green and wet just like how I like my Oompa Loompas. We were closing in on our milestone so we had to keep plowing through. tftc

While camping at Emerald Beach for a few days with my geodog Scruffy , We had to get out and look for a few caches ...All Good .. TFTC ..

Found with nissan65 on a caching trip to Coffs. Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching

Found with cullum68 on a day trip to this area. Thanks for the cache

With a long weekend in front of me and a challenge cache in Brisbane on the radar it seemed a perfect opportunity to good to miss to not head south and chase the caches i need to successfully claim the cache.After spending the night in Coffs Harbour woke early and started the hunt for local caches with a view of working my way back towards Brisbane.I found a safe place to park the car and made my way to ground zero where the cache was quickly located. The log was removed and signed and replaced the cache safely in its hiding place.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.Cheers

Found the cache safe and signed the log before replacing as found. On moving from GZ my foot slipped on the wet grass of the slope and backwards I went. Ended with a bad bruise on the back of my upper arm but it all made me laugh. I was trying to tread in my previous footprints so as not to cause a geotrail and in the end I squashed a big circle of the grass where I landed, lol. Before returning to the car I tried to lift the squashed grass, haha. Only partially successful. The fun of geocaching!

Thanks earthly65 for arranging this cache which has enhanced our enjoyment of the area.

On the hunting trail with Liz and Bruce on a 2024 New Years adventure. A quick find here. Its a great day for caching. TFTC earthly65

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Headed of from Coffs towards Grafton picking some of this series, along the way.

Stopped off here where the container was found after a short search, once at GZ and with a helpful hint.

Thanks earthly65 for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Didn’t have me stumped in the slightest

Wasn’t stumped at finding this one!

This morning we had some time on our hands to go out and do some mass caching! We decided to come up to the MMT and WoopiBucca trails to get some numbers up for the may challenge. Had a great day out here!

Quick find good hint.

Sorry for all the generic logs.

We hit the local powertrails today in search of a good bag of finds for the monthly challenge, hoping for a few favourites among them….

Thanks earthly65 for a great trail of well maintained caches. Was pleased to finish off this trail today.

Quick find

TFTC

Lots of quick park and grabs. Others I drove passed or we gave up looking as the compass was jumpy and the day was getting hot.

An unexpected trip to northern NSW allowed me time to grab a few caches along the way. Opted to have a day dedicated just for caching on my way home so I took to the P/T’s around Coffs. Thanks to the CO’s for your hides.

Thank you, earthly65, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Owner maintenance run on 24.8.22..many thanks to skipair for replacing cache...have updated hint...happy caching

Not there

Came back today to sign it.

Found it, muggle motorbike riders parked right next to it so couldn’t sign.

TFTC a quick find along our journey. Thank you for replacing this cache.

At GZ a sizeable tree has been felled and all the associated parts are piled up on the ground. It may still be there but well covered, so we replaced it with a camo pill bottle in the new stump that is now there.

It was another shorter rune today as we headed back out into the hills to complete the WoopiBucca trail and then onto Emerald Beach for the Ad Lab there and then a few further caches on the way home.
Great weather and another good day. We enjoyed the bush drive and then the sights along the coast were magnificent.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache earthly65.

Today we headed up north to complete the WoopiBucca trail, our first full day caching in a few months.
We managed to make 42 finds and 0 DNF's, the trail was a little washed out in some places but nothing we couldn't handle. Overall it was a great day out.
Despite the DNF's, we made a quick find, the log was dripping wet.
Thanks for the cache earthly65

couldn’t find and got attacked by leeches

Sorry we couldn't find it

Thank you for the chach. Found on geo weekend. Find 2783

Dropped the camper into Woolgoolga to have some work done on it, and this series was just across the highway. How could I resist?
Spent the morning on this series then a couple of AdLabs in Coff's.
The GPSr did wander a bit, but when that happened the clues were always good.
A nice range of sizes and hides to keep the trail interesting.
Not quite hanging this one, more like lying on its side.
Thanks, Robmc.

Legit can’t find it

After caching yesterday in coffs, we saw these ones when heading home, so after reading the descriptions and looking at the D/T, we thought, these would be a nice start to the day, before we looked at Emerald Beach Adv Labs. However this was not to be the case, either we were having a bad day, or GPS in this area is crap, we struggled through the first 5 even with up to a 17mtr gz error, so I recalibrated the GPS, but was still having mixed success, it would be spot on for one, then out by 10 on others, not the best in this type of terrain.

unfortunately it was not an enjoyable day caching, it took far too long for the amount of caches done, that we were stuffed and unable to do Emerald Beach, but it is done now, traffic was light, but a few logging trucks (thankfully empty) speeding along the roads so take care if it is logging season.

Just catching up with logging about this fabulous trail I cached with IndigoBlue1 3/11/2020 thank you Earthly65

It was time to go for a forest drive with ilook4geo and this WoopiBucca series looked like a good run of caches to do. Most were easy enough to find with just a few taking a bit longer. It was an enjoyable day. All found logs had two more names added to them before being put back where they had been found. Thank you to earthly65 for placing this series of caches.

Had a fun caching day with goingplaces2 and found most of the ones we looked for, signed logs and replaced all as found. TFTC.

Gotcha - About to give up, again, but persisted and eventually go it. Tftc

Found at 2:28 PM GAFF1.
It is surprising how just a bit of the right coloured camo makes these caches just about invisible until you really concentrate and focus onto them.
Thanks earthly65.

This one had me stumped for a bit until geo wife exited the car to join the search.

In the area today collecting some smileys. This was one of them. WoopiBucca trail. Very nice
Cheers

After much looking a smiley was posted

Had time to finish the trail off this afternoon between nursing home visits. As usual most of them were a nice easy find just off the road. Started at the Woopi end and came out at Bucca. Thanks earthly65.

Took a bit longer to see it hanging right under my nose. Tftc

Enjoying a good day out geocaching with Leahry101. Lots of laughs had along the way.

Found with the gorgeous Mystery Sleuth, logged as LH101

Nice quick find while caching with friends along this pretty country road, some views were exceptional when glimpsed through the tree line. TFTC

Our group DRJ (DiamonJs, Richond Lad and joojoo57) had these caches west of Woolgoolga on our list today. Completed the new series as well as some other cachers close by. Thanks to the COs for your time and effort in placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment to find. It is very much appreciated.

Out and about caching today caching near Woolgoolga and area west doing a trail of caches and other caches along country roads. To the CO's thank you for placing these caches for them to be found (sorry about the generic log ). Most were easy to find, however there were a couple that needed more time to locate. Log signed as DRJ which represents us 3 cachers - DiamonJs, Richmond Lad and joojoo57. Thoroughly enjoyed. TFTC

Tftc with dannielle645

TFTC found with HoldMyPingaz

Definitely still there! Tftc

A big Fat DNF for me. I looked for a while but time was running out to finish the other caches along the trail. One very disappointed Cacher. I’ll be back

The government has now allowed for us to move around NSW. We hooked up the caravan & headed north, our 1st stop being Coffs Harbour camping at the Rugby Club.
Today we met up with Coongoola to do the WoopiBucca trail, this was a great drive along some country roads, passing many magnificant trees along the way.
Amazing amount of work done to place this series, lots of very good hints provided making for mostly quick finds.
Thanks for placing this cache earthly65

We met up with the DiMorgan team at 8.30 in Woopi for the WoopiBucca Trail which was recently published. Grub Fred was also there to meet us and presented us with wonderful personalised badges to wear at event caches, Beautiful work from the Grub Fred team.

Mrs & Mrs Grub accompanied us for the first three caches to make sure that he had signed the logs and then DiMorgan team and ourselves got into the thick of it all. The trails through here were first class and would be easily handled by a normal car.

Nearly all the geocaches were in great condition and had excellent coords. We finished the trail by 11.00 and headed off to find a few old ones that had eluded us last time we were up here. Our bellies were sending messages about lunch time so Coongoola Pat and Di headed to the world famous fish & chip shop to ease the hunger pains. The fish & chip shop in the main street has sweet potato scallops which are mouth wateringly good. We ate lunch by the beach where we also found another cache about Shipwrecks, Bonus !

A great day in the backlands of Whoopi, thank you so much Earthly65 for placing and maintaining this trail for our enoyment.

Find No: 8132. Visiting from Newcastle (finally allowed to travel) staying at Safety Beach, suddenly noticed a bunch of new caches so we took off in a hurry and got the lot, thanks for the cache earthly65!!

Didn't see it till we made a bit more effort. The log took some digging to dislodge it from its grip. Hopefully after replacing it, it hasn't done the tight wad routine again. TFTL earthly65.

Caching with Bobbiesgirl
This was abeautiful day for caching
We traveled up to do this trail because it sounded like what we wanted , a nice day out with friends, not to hard and doable at a nice easy pace.
We were not disappointed. Alovely trail and a credit to Earthly65. And yes you guessed it cut and paste logs.

Found in the company of ozglory. With restrictions being eased this little trail was just the thing for a much needed caching fix. Beautiful winter's day. The copy and paste logs do not detract in any way from our enjoyment and appreciation of the trail.

Found after short search. Took Nothing Left nothing Slgned Log with Blissbaby

Missed the parking bay on the other side of the road so parked t the bottom of the hill and walked back up gz. Groovydoo was happy to get amongst the trees whike I waited off to the side with the Geo dog. Tftc
