It looks like we'll need to shut this one down.

Plenty of advice of the problem but no action was taken.

Thanks,

Didn’t find. A lot of heavy machinery work being done at the quarry
 
12-Mar-23
Gpsr and phone wanted us another forty metres into the quarry which would’ve been trespassing.
If the cache is in the quarry, it will need to be moved, if it’s not then the coords might need updating.

Disturbed a couple in their car at the lookout. Then started my search. After a bit of exploring I found a unlabelled cache, well I found a container with some paper. I signed it and went on my way.

DNF - With Saunders982, unsure if it was our geocaching inexperience or due to seemingly recent works in the area!

We were unable to look for this one. A sign proclaiming "Construction site. Authorised personnel only" combined with the workers pulled up at the entrance watching us put us off.

Heading home after going to Geeveston, i could help myself, i wanted one more "View" hide and this one was the choice today.
Wandered to GZ to make a reasonably quick find. The cache and contents are in A1 condition.

Hi Shannon, found your cache today snuggled up in its rocky hide. Thanks for bringing us up here brilliant view across the valley. Left a TB and some swag for the kids. On a Sunday Drive with Mrs PC, Master A and Master S. All good at GZ.

Didn't feel comfortable going for this gone given the giant "DANGER: CONSTRUCTION ZONE! NO ENTRY!" sign right in front of GZ. This cache really needs either disabling until the construction is done or just moving 20m downhill to the lookout area which is still accessible.

There are giant "DANGER! CONSTRUCTION ZONE! NO ENTRY" signs at GZ. Cache either needs temporary disabling or moving.

Accurate coordinates, the hint and a very exposed cache led to a quick find. The contents of the container were in good condition. despite the lid of the container being badly cracked. Thanks ShannonPC for the cache.

Today's activities found us heading south to Huonville to look at some property. Unfortunately it wasn't the place for us, but it certainly wasn't a wasted trip - there were still caches to be had!

We had a little bit of deja vu with this one - we've found one jsut a few metres from here previously. That one didn't require going past the no-entry signs though, just saying...

Still, a lovely spot with a great view over the town, so TFTC!

We checked a few places before finding this cache. I felt a little uncomfortable finding the cache with all the DANGER signage around the quarries.
Great views over Huonville from the lookout nearby.
As is the usual thing these days, no plan had been made until Friday night for our caching outing today. Lady Membsec had messaged and asked what plans SSR and I had (at that point we had options but not a plan) and that got me into gear.
We didn’t really have a huge amount of caches on the list but still too many to achieve. The walk to Lake Perry took longer than we though it would. Lunch was soooo big it took forever to eat and muggles held us up at a few locations, but we enjoyed chatting with quite a few. We also enjoyable visit to a fellow geocachers block as we were in the area.
It all made for a really pleasant day.
 
the last cache of the day and the view from the car park is good I didnt feel right about access to the cache, names added to logbook and we were off.

As normal we didn't have a plan till late Friday and that was just an idea of the area we wanted search in, so the short list was Geeveston and Dover, and Hartz Mt, we picked to many caches for our day but that ok it just means we will have to come back to Dover another time.

We had a number of things that ate up time, with the first being how bad the road has got since we were last heading out to the car park at Hartz Peak, last time it was a smooth drive but this time the road had gained a few big holes and it wasn't long before we were stuck behind cars only willing to go at half the speed I wanted to drive at, second problem was the walk to P KP PC LP which took longer than we were thinking due to poor track and us stopping every now and then to take some stunning pictures, later in the day we called at a fellow cachers new block as we were passing and we also ran into muggles at a number of cache locations so we had to talk to them or wait them out so we could grab the cache.

This is all coming over as negatives but it made for different day, yes less cache finds but more fun and some interesting memories.

Found on 19/09/2020 at 5:46:00 PM thanks to ShannonPC for placing this cache for me to find.

Had a day off again, and wanted to go and visit my good old friend down the huon.
Set off just before lunch to come down to the huon. Drive down was good and day was good all around. No rain, which had hampered my day in Devonport the day before.
Collected a few movables and a few caches in the geeveston area.
TFTC.

We decided to head out this morning in brilliant sunshine at Boyer ending in pouring rain at Police Point and Huonville to find 15 newly published caches that have appeared and this was one of them. Luckily it stayed dry until we finished caching at Police Point and down it came all the way back to Huonville.. A quick dash in the rain to find GZ. TFTC

out and about caching with one Lil Rafa today, in the game for the wonders of the world GC of cause. The second time a cache has been placed here, the first by a different CO still a nice place to visit but an overcast day today meant not much of a view, still we are geocaching and that is good. TFTC TNLN log dry but the container lid was cracked already, will not last very long.
 
Easy find on a cold evening TFTC

Thanks Shannon

Hello ShannonPC thank you for the cache

I have been here a few times now, today I had to wait for a little while fore some muggles to leave before I could make a quick find.

The lid on the container is broken so it wont take too long before it fills with water.
