By The Blind Side on 19-Jun-21. Waypoint GC9CZGM

Found with LittleBoss2 as we headed down to Shepp for the day. Parked the car on the opposite side of the gulley and decided to do this little circuit on foot. Quick find here, thanks Craig

Tftc found with earthly 65

Found with robbieracer66....thankyou

Out exploring the area and enjoying a walk along the river. Totally amazed by the evidence of how high the flood must have been.

Thank you found it!

After the Tatura event, I took the deadly treadly to The Flats in Shepparton-Mooroopna.I had ridden some of these when they first came out, but had not come back for the newer ones.Today was the day. A lovely mild day for a ride. All the tracks and trails were dry, although the thistles were head high.I initially park the car near Little and Cemetery Roads intersection and unloaded the bike.I ride clockwise around to #47, then went back to the car for lunch.In the afternoon I moved down to the other end of Cemetery Road to try the eastern caches.A lot of walking to get to some of the caches.Thanks for this series, Robmc.

14:32A couple of days in Shepparton, gave the caravan a run & put us close to the Central Victorian Annual Get Together on Thursday.We spent a couple of days searching for the hidden Moor-Shepp gems, mostly by bike & we will return for those we missed, perhaps the water will be gone. It was good to find those with fresh logs this time. Picked up TBA72XQ 'Reach the Peak Tag - Mt Everest' to move on.A BIG thank you to the CO who placed this series of caches.36905

Replaced log book and snap lock bag.

Hi, thanks for this beautiful sunny day. A few motorbikes and some bikes.

Good fun, thanks

Just 12 caches until I reach my goal of 300! Running out of time, but snagged another.
11 left!

Took us a while due to recent flooding. It was very swampy. Shreck would be proud.

good cache but in the swamp

Cache found in original location full of water. Contents dried, log replaced, good to go.

With the floodwaters between Shepparton and Mooroopna beginning to recede I expect most if not all of the Moor-Shepp Hidden Gem Series caches to either be washed away or full of water so I am disabling all until I've had the opportunity to inspect and replace. This may take some months as the area is still not accessible and there are 48 to check.

Last for day! Awesome! Out and about on trusty treadles aka the MTB exploring the trails and the impressive river red gum forest. Chipping away at a few caches with each trip to Shep visiting daughter who now lives here. Trails in good nic given it’s winter. TFTC and the fun!

Have a 50th Birthday in Shepp so decided to make a weekend o it and grab some caches. The wetness of the day didn't stop us from finding this one although our feet are starting to get a bit wet. TFTC

This is my 2nd bite at this "Moor-Shepp Hidden Gem" Series during my stay at Shepparton with a Life-Long Bestie for about 6 weeks. 17 hides added to my grab in a planned loop, today
The day was still and cool not icy and windy

I love this tree-forest walk as it is a pleasant way to build up my daily step-count with no Muggles to be a hinderance, if you don't count the birds

I started at M-SHG #27 through to #39 then across to #23 - #26.
Pls note: all caches were in good condition and their log books were dry

Cache #24 was found and logged at 12:22 on Thursday the 28th of July 2022.

Today I’m greeted by mosquitoes, lots of mosquitoes and it’s winter.
Don’t you just love the Aussie bush

Nice hide. TFTC

Staying overnight with a friend in Shepparton but it seemed a good idea to visit this area beforehand. Drove in via Little Road and then walked as I wasn’t too sure if the road conditions with the recent rains. On foot it was easy to dodge the puddles and savour the scenery. All caches were easily found From 26 I continued cross country to this one. Another quick find TFTC The Blind Side

Found 5 of these caches back last year on the 24.7.21. Nice little hides hopefully will find more today tftc

Will be back for more soon
Signed and replaced Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment The Blind Side.

We were in the Shepparton area today, spending quality caching time with Liz & Bruce and Hans & Linda. This area has changed a lot since we were last in the area, a lot rougher indeed. SL TFTC

TFTC. We are staying on the are for a few days prior to the mega in Wangaratta. Teaming up with Liz and Bruce and muff1 we spent the day exploring around the area caching as we went.
We stayed flexible with our caching plans. We headed down to the flats to,try our luck we were driving. Parts of the track were ok but some were not passable in the car. We did what we could without damaging anything.

Thanks for arranging and hiding. We are enjoying exploring the area and completing the series.

Cool

Found another, once again in a log under some bark

number 24 another good find surprising how fast the forrest had dried out over the last two days.l Log signed and returned Thanks blindside

Thank you again The Blind Side for continuing to provide us local's with caches close to home that we can search for without travelling too far in these uncertain times. I particularly like the variety and mix of hides, in a limited area for choice. We being dalerious and I, had a chance to come out today a bag a few more, leaving some for 'ron. All caches found in good condition. Keep them coming

OK, so Catnap777 and I were no longer in the hunt for the FTFs (we were way too comfy at home when these ones came out), but with a bit of time to kill between jobs this evening, they were the perfect distraction.

Relying more and more on artificial light, this slightly older hide was to be the last one we attempted this evening. Again we signed after our good friends LizzyandE who had been out here earlier in the day. [^]
Cat' and I grabbed 5 of the CO's latest instalments leaving just a few for a rainy day.
Although...... they do seem a lot easier to get to when it is not quite so rainy. [xx(]

TFTC and series The Blind Side, all found so far have been in perfect condition.

Joint ftf with WeAreGleesos.

Having had a lovely arvo catch up. it was far too tempting when these new ftfs popped up.

A mad dash to get there in the dark was fruitful!

Thanks for adding these to your series Blindside! We have enjoyed the hunt!

Joint FTF with lorigus74. Bit of a daunting drive in, in the dark.. afternoon catch up then up pop these FTF’s. We umm’d & ahh’d whether to go or not.. Yep the women decided to go.. Bit of water about but not too bad underfoot. Found & signed.
