By megawat60 on 13-Aug-20. Waypoint GC8YA7B

Did the mammoth amount of puzzles to have a crack at this series. This is number 10 on that quest Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for placing for our enjoyment. Apologies for the generic logs. Tftc.MM

Fortunately there was a geotrail leading to GZ, because this scrub was a bit too snakey for my liking. A quick spot of the container too, my lucky day. Logbook is full, I managed to scrawl my name on the side. Tftc

I am not from around here, so thought that Yanchep would be full of cars and people today as it is weekend. Not too bad ... Group of teenagers just walkes paste the G when I was looking for cache. Quick find. TFTH#3680

Solved these puzzles more than half a year ago and today decided to try to do the field work. This year's first caching trip, tftc!

Much quicker find at this one thank goodness! Tftp&c

Log full, need a new one

Visiting WA from Brisbane to spend some time with hubby as well as attend WAGB2023 and cache with Geo buddy Snickersallan.
Caught up with geofriends again to find a few more of these caches in the area.
Made our way to Gz where a short search around and I spotted the cache. Log signed cache returned.

Visiting from the east and exploring Perth and places to the north over the next 4 or 5 days. Thanks to all the various COs for placing caches (or EC and virtuals) for us to locate, learn and explore. Signing as Team East+2.

Out and about caching while visiting WA from Brisbane. Found many many caches and thank you to all CO's for placing them in the various locations. TFTC

Another visit to this lovely district with geo friends and filling in a few more gaps on the map.
To save space on the log sheets, we have signed as TEAM EAST+2.
With many eyes searching, we wasted little time looking and finding this one.

Thanks, megawat60, for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Took a while to spot it. TFTC

Solved a while ago. Quick find at GZ. TFTC

I solved these puzzles a long time ago
An easy find once we found our way in TFTC

Teaming up with the gang again, we travelled north as Team MICK. Cache found in good condition. Cheers MegaWatt60

The Mick team are back together after dragging Kapelula out of her cave for another caching trip. Today we are heading north, across the river to the other side to hunt in new caching ground. Today our aim is find caches that have been on our to do list for way to long. Today is going to be a great day even if it is a bit hot thank god for air conditioning! All caches were found in great condition. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing. Log signed as Mick for Meme28, I C Nothing, Cirrus_wa and Kapelula.

This was one of the caches that we found.A quick find of the cache here. Log was signed and the cache replaced as it was found.Thanks megawat60 for placing and maintaining this cache for other cachers to find.

Came to a nearby event and had this puzzle solved but couldn’t find it last time I was here. Teamed up with an team and we managed to find after a lengthy search tftc

Tftc and the series. Lovely day out with newcomer SCAP at the Megawatt60 event. So many experienced geocachers to mention.

Found with others at today's geo event and learned what I have to do with this series. Now I have done the puzzle, I can officially log it. TFTC, and today's event, too!

Thanks for so wonderful event here. So happy to meet such lovely geochachers.

Headed north with Chwiliwr for an event and did some caching on the way.
Following the event we decided to do a few of these caches on the way home. Solved them when they first came out. Found with another cacher.

Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks megawat60 for the jigsaws and placing this cache for us to find.

We solved these puzzles a while ago and have been itching to come and claim the find. Thanks for all the fun Megawat60

Solved all of these awhile back.
In town to find a few of them.
Most were quickish finds, some were sadly DNFs.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Today is just not meant to be, no find here either

Hi there megawat60. We came this way today mainly for Mystery Caches, where we had worked out the final coordinates and found this cache at 0231pm after a short search - the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to megawat60 for this cache - our find 9020 and the 14th of 21 finds for the day.

FieldNotes:

Walked through the park and up into the bush. Soon spotted the cache. Thanks megawat60.

Back in Yanchep for some more smiles thanks for this one and the puzzles

Solved the puzzle ages ago today we came here to find it. Took a bit of searching to find it TFTC

Finding a few jigidi’s whilst touring the Yanchep area, this was our last find for the day before heading homeward … This one was a familiar spot & nice to return again

TFTC megawat60 We hope to return again soon, hopefully with no DNF’s next time!!!!!!

Found it. TFTC megawat60. Should have done this one at the event also. How does it go ? Shudder, wudda, cudda ? Something like that.

Headed North of the River with Cravo10 to cleanup the sea of green and blue dots that have accumulated over recent months.

Managed to snag a huge number of caches and some labs for good measure. Some good variety of containers, hiding styles, beautiful bushland, sand dunes and parklands.

Thanks to the local COs for the fun today.

Thanks megawat60 for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

We headed out with PP2 to continue on with the fun, thanks megawat60 for the puzzles and the event TFTC

With a Community Celebration event planned for this morning in Yanchep it was a great opportunity to make a day of it and try to clear as many caches from the area as possible, including a large number of solved jigsaw puzzles Some were found before the event and some afterwards, and by the time I drove home I had a haul of 36 caches + a completed adventure lab The map of Yanchep is looking much more yellow now!

This was found before the event started as it was just a stone's throw away. The coords are spot on but it still took a few minutes before I spotted it. All ok here - TFTC

Nice and close to the event, just as well I solved the puzzle on the way in the car! GPS was jumping around but without too many prospects we searched all shubs in the vicinity and Mrs. D made the find on the more likely bush. Tftc!

At event with geo daughter coliver95 and found it with PP2 and a few others
signed log and returned
tftc

Thanks again.

Found after attending the nearby event.

Unlike some I really love solving these puzzles so thank you for the next instalment & putting on an event to get us up here to find them. TFTC Sir Megawat60

found with geomother coliver66,
PP2 & others while attending event near by.

signed log and returned.

TFTC ️

Took us a bit to find this one for some reason, signed the log, TFTC and the puzzle

I got a pass from my family to go caching this afternoon, so Yanchep was my obvious destination. A fairly quick find here, thank you for the fun jigsaws and the cache megawat60!

SVKR_WA, KY_Zabra, Gra_nett and I made plans to tackle the "Where I would Rather be" puzzles waaaay up North (insert droll lines about visas and inoculations here )

The FOTT had worked through the puzzles and after moving some many pieces of brown and slightly lighter, no wait is that darker... Nope same colour Brown around many of the jigsaw puzzles over many sessions. the day had finally come when all that squinting paid off in smileys.

The weather was off and on with the wind doing its best to knock us over at times, but we managed to time our cache dashes between the showers.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, you help make the game what it is today.

AlliedOz

A few hours in the northern suburbs with Allied_Oz, Kyzabra & SVKR_WA on a mission to pick up as many Jigidis around Yanchep as we could and anything else that took our fancy. Weather was a bit dodgy at times but we managed to finish up with hatfull of smileys among the general shenanigans that go along with a day trip like this.

A bit of a stroll to this one as the weather started to close in where SVKR_WA came up with the goods. Made it back to the car without getting totally soaked.

megawat60 I found your cache at 10:05am, this was the 20th of 29 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6259. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

SVKR_WA, Allied_Oz, Granett and I headed out today. Our primary focus was the WIRB puzzle caches. The FOTT had worked through them and spent many hours dragging little pieces across computer screens. So with a phone full of solved coords, and our inoculations up to date, we made the journey NOR.

The weather was a bit hit and miss but hey, when a plans been made, ya stick to it. Right Granett?

Well spotted by SVKR.

Many thanks to megawat60 for placing and maintaining # 26 Where I'd Rather Be. We found it, signed it, and put it back as found. We found this one at 10:05 am on Sunday and this is my find 8710.

Another trek to grab this one. The weather really came in on our walk back to the car.

Another day of caching with the boys was organised. I picked up Granett and AlliedOz early and headed off to meet up with Kyzabra.

We had spent countless hours solving jigsaw puzzles, so after ensuring that our immunisations and passports were in order, we were off to Yanchep for an assault on the 30 odd jigsaws in the area.

It’s always a barrel of laughs when we all get together. Lots of fun, banter and general mischief always ensues.

megawat60 SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache # 26 Where I'd Rather Be today at 10:07:59 20 Sep 2020. This brings my find count to 4299

megawat60 - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

On a lovely wildflower trip through beautiful WA.

TFTC

Quick find on a blustery day.

Well, what can I say... Other than, I'm quite sure I don't want to see another jigidi ever again. Thank megawat60.

Found with ILT on a second visit today. Gazebo was full of party goers so decided to wait till later in the day. Thanks megawat60

After waiting an age for someone to move on from the gazebo, decided just to go up explain what I was doing and go for it! They were very understanding and couldn't care less! Cache co ords are spot on! TFTP and the cache.

A Mr fratra solve here.
Took a while for us to spot the cheeky hide.

Aah, travel. I remember. Was up this way doing the lab and checking on one of ours so called in, sort of on the way past. Think Mrs O solved this one a bit back. Quick find of a hide I often struggle with so co-ords must be good again, thanks!

Since this pic was taken in French Polynesia, I have renamed puzzle “50 Nuances de Grey à Moorea “, . Anyway, had an enjoyable bike ride to GZ where I found the cache and put my name down as 2TF. congrats AtCatpacity on your FTF. Thanks megawat60 for the puzzle and cache, and a FP for the memories of travel times!

We were having a quiet afternoon at home when this one was published, so I was able to quickly finish the puzzle. Mr atCat offered to stay home with baby, for me to make the find. We usually prefer to cache together, especially when going for an FTF but I thought it'd be nice to have an hour to myself! So I headed up to yanchep knowing my time was limited, with the big storm coming. I stumbled around GZ, following my GPS bounce, for about 25 minutes slowly narrowing down the search. Finally, I spotted it, just as the rain started A quick scribble on the log and I ran back to the car. Now to get home and warm and dry! Thank you for another fun puzzle and my mini-adventure, Megawat60 Have a favourite point for the fun!
