Reperio 14:59While staying with family in Nathalia this Christmas period, we headed into Shepparton for some last minute shopping, and some caches thrown in for good measure. Having grown up on McCracken Street in Shepparton, I couldnt help stopping to grab this cache. Fortunately this one was nice and close to the road, which made for an easier retrieval.

We are heading up to the Shepparton Marathon and taking the long way via Echuca. The plan is to get 20 geocaches in the Campaspe and Moira LGAs and at least 1 cache in whatever NSW LGA Moama is in. Then get at least 4 caches in the Shepparton LGA. Not sure it will happen with our tight schedule, but will see how it goes.

Only got 16 geocaches in Moira LGA yesterday, so todays plan has changed. After doing photography duties at the start of the Marathon, it's time to head North and collect a few geocaches, hopefully in time for the end of the race.

Nice tree climb that I thought about monkey climbing, but still too wet at 8 am. As such grabbed my tool and was quickly up and down.

I needed this "Tree Climb" attribute geocache in a different LGA on the 27th, so this was a must geocache for me. Only 2 more days required in different LGAs to complete this GCA942A challenge now.

Thanks for the cache Lorigus 74

PS. Thanks to the CO for the recent maintenance check, all good and much appreciated.

This was so much fun!

Normally we would walk around finding caches which we did for the rest of the series but this one for some reason had me thinking I might need height.
Spotted the cache immediately but signing the log was a mystery.
After a couple of attempts which had us laughing out loud we soon had pen to paper.
Talk about a goodie. Definitely deserves a favourite

Well, how entertaining this one was.
Circled GZ and then decided I needed to move the car.
Glad that nobody drove past. I am sure I would have been quite a sight!
Love it Lorigus 74..

Out and about with some Muggle friends up this way towards Nathalia it was mentioned by my Muggle friends if i wanted to grab a cache or two.
Not having planned to get any i remebered this group of hides with some funny titles so i said "yeah why not sneak a couple in"

We parked up in my GeoMobile near GZ. I noticed this was an elevated hide and being too nervous to stand on my car i had a think about it then decided to.

I placed a towel on the hardest part at the corner of the bonnet and ascended to the "wire in the crack"
With the booty safely extracted the log was signed at 14:40 on Tuesday 28 June 2022.

Replaced the cache in the .... and descended carefully back to terra firma

The cache and contents are fine and dry.

Found with catnap777 @4:07pm. Cool

We visited Fill McCracken to fill m'challengein, and the crack in cat's challenge in too.Razz
You see, having recently found and signed the last of the new challenge caches in the Warby Ranges, cat' and I suddenly had a whole series of projects to work on. Red Face
One of them (GC9DGPY) required me to find a T1.5 and a T2.5 (among others) on a Tuesday. Another challenge (GC9DPF6) required cat' to find just a couple more caches with the "Tree climbing required" attribute to qualify. [:o]
3 in this series filled our cracks nicely. [^]
This has proved to be a cracken good series to have up our ...... sleeves. Twisted

TFTCs lorigus74 Smile.
We saved most to have a crack at another day. [^]

Dalerious and I were on a mission. And it was almost like Mission Impossible because as we were about to leave work and grab these three caches to fill in gaps for our Challenge Cache requirements, work had other ideas and decided to throw a whammy in the mix. Well he got that sorted, came back to the car and said, I don't think we are going to make it back in time for the next truck. We can do it hun, I said, let's go! The moral of this story is we got all our Challenge cracks filled, and got back in time to unload some precious cargo . Thanks lorigus74 for some well placed tree climbs in this mix, and for providing a few laughs on some very clever cache titles. Big Grin
