I headed out geocaching today for a couple of reasons. I needed to find a cache or two to top up my 'My Finds' calendar date and also to get out of the house. Geocaching is good for that. I had a all of the 'school' puzzle caches solved for awhile and thought I would target quite a few of those today, and the adventure lab, and the Virtual cache just to be sure. I generally found all caches today to be in good order and found after a short search which is always a good thing. Thanks for the hiding and maintaining of these caches.

We had planned to stay at Bell but the caravanpark is booked out so we now camping at Kaimkillenbun, as the locals call it The BunSo many school sites to visit we will have to make a map out a tour of the area.We went to mnany interesting location & found some very good caches. Thanks Strongbow77 for hiding this cache.

A little more tricky this one

We were in Bell yesterday and completed a small run on the hides here. Did some puzzle solving last night. Left Dalby real early this morning after Breakfast at about 0630. Arrived very close to posted coordinatres as per my GPSr and found it almost immediately. All good here. TFTC Strongbow77

Previous logs helped us retrieve this little beauty tftc

Another nice hide. Such a beautiful day and a beautiful shadey tree to have lunch under. Thank you for bringing us out this way

After a day spent caching and sightseeing in Kingaroy, we moved on to Bell, only a short drive of about 70km. We set up in the caravan park and then headed out to see what we could find. Its amazing the number and variety of caches in and around town.
We had managed to solve the puzzles in advance, the last 2 only last night, and these added to an Adventure Lab, Letterbox, Earthcaches, Multis and Trads allows for a variety of caching.
Another busy day as we try to beat the coming rain!

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Strongbow77.

Nice

Found it

Two Tassies still following the district geotrail this afternoon on a 70km roundtrip for 11 finds, 1 dnf. We are collecting solved puzzles (two with help from the CO) and a batch of traditionals. Had to play it cool for this one as cars and kids were passing close by, as the school had just pulled up at the crossroads. All caches in good nick, and close to co-ords. Thankyou Strongbow77 for continuing our geoadventure here at Bell.

That took us quite a while bout finally found the sneaky hide. A fav added. Thanks Strongbow77 for the series we really enjoyed it.

Our time at Bell is quickly running out and finally the ground is drying out enough for us to go and find a few caches. Eight for the afternoon, not many but we did spent approx a half an hour chatting with a local who was wondering what we were doing. SL TFTC

Why are we staying in Bell[?] Oh because there are lots and lots of geocaches including puzzles that we solved ourselves! Yes Ourselves! Sadly this morning it was freezing so a late start then home for soup for lunch before heading back out hunting. Did I mention it didnt get over 10degrees until after 3pm!

Out and about on our first geocaching adventure in a few years as we have fallen in and out of love with caching over the years. ATM looks like were back in as we both had a ball today.
Found after a short search.

Thanks for the cache Strongbow 77

Tftc Strongbow77, out for the morning to do a few more caches , thanks for the series.

Another enjoyable day caching around Bell where everything looks so green at the moment. Enjoyed the series along this quiet country road. After reading previous logs, we thought we would struggle with this one but as luck would have it - it was in the first place I looked. Deserves a favourite point for this series. TFTC Strongbow77

We had to come back for this one as we didn't find it yesterday. after reading the logs, Austpark looked with a new eye and found the cache.

TFTC Strongbow77

Heading home from the Wangaratta Mega and stopped in Bell for a couple of days. Solved nearly all of the unknowns and have passed through many times but unable to stop to collect. Hopefully we can grab a few over the two days.

Thanks Strongbow77 for the caches.

We are staying in town for a few days picking up some smileys and this is one we found. The cache took a little bit of searching until a telltale sign was spotted. We like the theme of the series and the cache names. All good with this one. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the caches Strongbow77.

The road is named after the Byrnes brothers who farmed here about 50 years ago. A sneaky hide you may have to fish for.

Glad the road has dried up. TFTC

Stay for caple of days in Bell to get same smile. Tftc Strongbow 77

It's our first time in Bell. What a beautiful caravan park in town!

Now we continue to explore the area and get some smilies at the same time.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Strongbow77.

Finally arrived in Bell, had morning tea and all geared up for an overnight stay.
Love this countryside and it is very rewarding visiting towns/places for the very first time.
All finds in and around Bell were fantastic, found relatively quickly and to save room on the logs we signed as Something Catchy/Team DES (domsky, E_Smiley & Snickersallan)
Apologies CO for the generic logs, your caches are a real credit to you.

We found this one with no problem.
Thanks Strongbow77

Hullo to a local identity. Thanks to Speed Mistress for providing all the information about who is who and what is what around here. TFTC SB.

A big day planned for today, heading north east to Bell to round up some smilies.
We are targeting about 60 or so over the next two days but we're flexible ... up & down!
A 3 hour drive then into it!
We managed 46 today before running out of daylight.

Nicely placed, sneaky!
Extraction was fiddly but fun.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
Sneaky almost always gets a Favourite Point from us.
I said "Almost!"
Oh OK.

As part of our Dalby road trip we headed out to Bell and its surrounds for the day. The weather was great for caching and the rural roads were fairly quiet. Many thanks to both Speedmistress and Strongbow77 for placing and maintaining the caches for our enjoyment.
This was one tricky hide for us today - a FP given.

Out and about caching today around Bell and district. Weather today was fine and cool. Travelling around the country roads collecting the many varied caches in their locations. Found cache and signed log. TFTC Strongbow77

The kids and I spent the day caching around Bell and were surprised at the quality and variety of the hides out here.

Found the little fella

Sunday, with doscrapbooking chasing down some caches in Bell.
This was to be my last one for this trip, Di was working on solving a puzzle but came out for this one. Her eyes are a lot sharper than mine.
Thats why I love caching with her.
After all duties were attended to, the cache was returned as found.

Spent the weekend with Sweet & Sour(aka Dad) , doing a little geocaching and just a catch up.

Having met at "Welcome to Bell" event, and my thoughts then she is going to be very cunning when hiding caches, I'm going to have to be at the top of my game. this is a case in point. You got me. Hope the rest in this series are more friendly
