Really old tree stump thanks

TftcAnother quick find.Cache 2 of 45

I had made the mistake of using the shampoo at the hotel. After getting out of the shower I looked at my ugly head and thought that something was wrong. My head is always ugly so that wasnt the weird part. I think the hotel had put body wash in the shampoo capsule. I cant be sure, its just that while I still have hair I want to nurture and care for it. 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 cullum68 on a day trip to this area. Thanks for the cache

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

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

Sharpened our balancing skills to reach this geocache container. Geohubby retrieved it, we signed the log, then I replaced it as found. A favourite point awarded here for the experience and to honour the life of the tree that was cut down. Thanks Earthly65 for the enjoyment we have experienced out on this drive. Cheers and happy caching!

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

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

Tftc, we swapped out on of the collectables.

Finally I got one without my brother running ahead and stealing it.

Nice spot

Watch your head lol

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. Looking back on history and much harder times, is amazing.

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

Hollowed be thy name…..still bearing the scars of logging
TFTC

This stump bears the scars of the old fashioned lumberjacks, (slots cut into the sides where they put their springboards into). A rare thing to find in the bush nowadays

TFTC.

Awesome, especially the cut outs on the old stumps, such great signs of history!

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….

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, cool spot.

Sorry for all the generic logs.

TFTC earthly65

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

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.

TFTC

This one not for us

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

Checked in here today...cache in good condition...happy caching !

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. An outstanding stump.

Found it

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.

Heute werden noch einmal ein paar Dosen / Cache gesucht bevor es in ein paar Tagen wieder zurück nach Deutschland geht.

Gesucht, Gefunden und geloggt


Danke für's legen und pflegen sagt celly15299

Found on a lovely Easter Monday caching day to get another signal frog souvenir, and to finish the Woopi/Bucca Trail I started in October 21.

Log a little damp but still able to write on.

6th cache for the day.

Tftc!

Today we decided to put another dent in the WoopiBucca Trail.

These three stumps were interesting with the notches still clearly visible from springboard logging method. I always think of the dangers involved in this technique.

T4TC and the WB series.

Found it tftc

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.
Thanks for the cache earthly65

Found with dyarnlee

Cool find

Thank you for the chach. Found on geo weekend. Find 2787

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.
Looked at the wrong altitude for a while!
Thanks, Robmc.

THATS COOL #LIT

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.

Fascinating tree. Imagine climbing up to saw that down! Tftc

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.

Cheers

Found 22/11/2020 with JessYoung96.

Easy find and got it straight away as soon as we got to GZ.

Gotcha - 1500th cache.
Found easy enough. Tftc

Found at 2:01 PM GAFF3 - we are going for the hints early on these caches as we have so far found that this area makes the GPSr bounce around quite considerably - from 5 metres to 17 metres in a few seconds?.
This was a nice hide with the slot just made for the cache
Thanks earthly65.

TFTC!

Nice hidey hole on this one. TFTC

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

Thankyou to the CO's for placing the caches

Continuing on our trail! TFTC

Quick find and last for this trail. Chose to do only a few of these but still enjoyed the drive through the bush. A black snake was crossing the road as we got near to this cache. Warm weather in August but still unusual to see a snake about. Cache OK

Out geocaching today with Magpie Cottage. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment earthly65

Excellent hideyhole FP from me
Caching with Wandering Me and Baby Birt today

Found but running out of battery

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

Hitting this trail today with a couple of hours in hand. Ready to go with this awesome drive. These caches were great. Loved the drive. Thank you.

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: 8136. 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!!

A very cool hiding spot made for a sistema in what would have been a lovely mature grove of trees. Really enjoyed the WoopiBucca series of interesting hides. Thanks for an entertaining afternoon 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.

TFTC SL tnln

Fav point for all your efforts. many thanks really appreciated

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.
The end of the trail and worthy of a double FP if I could. One for the trail which was a pleasure to do and one for this particular hide in what would have been a magnificent tree in it's day.

had a free day today and found this trail had been placed so close to my parents house, been a while since I’d been geocaching so came out here to attempt it. Found 26/29 so not too bad, unfortunately missed a couple along the way. A great trail out here, all caches well hidden and well out together and a few different ones to keep it interesting. Thanks for these caches and the work that has gone into them.

Took Nothing Left nothing sl

Now back at the car at number two,after running out of E bike battery half way back,although it was mostly down hill,I reflect on this awesome trail,peaceful,no traffic,great caches, I want you to know I really appreciate the effort and time you put in to placing all these and I thank you very much,this cache in particular,loved its little ledge put there just for a cache.TF all T Caches.

After grubbing around at the wrong level here I spotted the cache after using my brain....where would I hide a cache here. Left Simon the seahorse tb to continue his journey. Great series look forward o the rest coning out. Tftc earthly 65
