By Samuel737 on 14-Jun-22. Waypoint GC9W2CM

Couldnt see this anywhere, wondering if its still here?

Tftc!!

TFTC Team737 such a great location and hide. The kids had a blast finding this one.

Down logging a few for my 100 for the month, now where would I place this ca he , no it's not here then bingo, nice design,

At last! with help from Kaz444, I was finally able to locate this cache, opposite from where I had previously looked and "galvanised ",how obvious it always seems TFTC

TFTC. Looked around for a bit during traffic tonight- no muggles, probably lots of concerned drivers haha. Thought it was missing but its just on the opposite thing the cords said it was successful find and replacement.

New container in place and ready to go!

Cap of container has gone walkabout, bringing in for a repair and maybe rethinking the thread on the container Will be back soon.

Did a lot of "screwing around" thought the bridge might fall down, but alas, no find

11272A top hide, in the only real logical spot, which is why it took me a while to find it. Got some exercise going up and down, round and round. Earlyish morning meant plenty of time to search unobserved.The cache is in good condition.TFTC Samuel737 and the flights.

Such a good spot! Lots of fun

Very cool cache again, I mite have to buy a printer, tftcsl

I drive under this bridge pretty much every day and have had my eye on this cache for ages, but the time was never right. Had the chance last week but just as I was pulling into a nearby street, the heavens opened and I thought nah, not today! Managed to drop in today and found it without too much bother. TFTC!

Not TOO many places it could reasonably be. In HINDSIGHT, its hidey-hole seems like the obvious choice In reality, I suppose I did look in quite a few places before I found it, and I did resort to the hint which I found quite useful.TFTH!Yes kcreek that was me But I didnt actually see anything honest! No sense spoiling the fun for myself later!

3rd times a charm! Thanks to CO for the help on this one. Awkward thing was that someone passed me while I was signing the log sheet. Found out later that it seems it was a local geocacher who hadnt done it. TFTC Team737

Sometimes I do realise how either over think things or inexperienced I am with this game. Second time Ive searched here. DNF this time more because of time (over 30 minutes searching andPhone GPS jumping) than the weather like last time. Will come back for my smilies

Quick check, all good.

Reperio 18:54Having had to make an impromptu trip to Newcastle today to attend jury service the next day, I decided to make the most of things by finding a few local caches. Before moving away from Newcastle, this bridge was just going up, so it good to return today to see the finished product. Would have certainly enjoyed using those stairs for training.

Tricky but if you have a feel around its there!!!

What a great spot and cache. Thanks

Out today getting a few in the area.Easy find TFTC Team737

Continuing from my Team 737 day yesterday I went to find this cache after an appointment I had in the area. I was at GZ when it started to rain so had to abandon the search.

Tftc

Found tyftc

Found it. First time walking on bridge

Clever

Took me a bit of searching to locate it, but I got it in the end. Nice cache location, TFTC!

rly pretty spot watching all the cars drive by, almost missed the spot it was hidden in! tftc!

A pretty quick find on a nice bridge. Now deciding what to do next. Out and about caching with a certain Google and 737. TFTC

A fun find with friends EthisEthat and Samuel737. Disposed of some rubbish in the cache. TFTC

Was searching for ages super sneaky spot and your not able to see it you have to reach for it so be careful with spiders as we spotted a few around, we signed the log & added a sticker tftf

No luck with this one

Nice walk to GZ, looked around and soon had cache in hand. TFTC

Well this took longer then I'd like to admit. Was in the first place I looked then after about 20 mins I went back for a second little feelski and bam haha TFTC

OCW My4Monkeys took a while but My4Monkeys found TFTC

About twenty minutes searching but no luck

Finally found this one after multiple attempts! Coordinates were off so that’s where my issue was. Not sure if it’s been moved but I put it back where I found it.

Checked this one today, all in good condition and where it was supposed to be. Happy Caching!

#1

Found it

Very satisfying find! TFTC

Found! Great watching the traffic flow! TFTC

TFTC and a nice find while out geocaching with Goldberry 17. Put away my gps and found what the hint told me and bingo there it was. I stayed off the road, a very busy road. I used to travel it when I was travelling from Warners Bay to Newcastle University way back in the 1970s when I was doing my Science degree. Then I travelled it for another 4 years when I was teaching at Waratah High School( not that name anymore).

Must have nimble fingers and no fear of spiders

TFTC

Found gz, and started my search. It did not take too long, and spotted a likely spot, and bingo!. TFTC.

TFTC Team 737! had to ask for an additional hint but i found it in the end.

Tftc
Very quick find
So gad of that

Took me awhile this one!

Took about 10 minutes. Great spot

Great little find.

Took a while to find this one. But it is there, and we’re glad we didn’t give up.

Nice little stroll along the bridge nice weather to walk in with no rain TFTC??????

Going to Newcastle and we decided to drop in TFTC??????

Heading for Charlestown and it made sense to stop and attempt this one on the way through. The hint made it nice and easy to nab. TFTC ??

TFTC. Little sunny up there today, but thankfully no muggles

TFTC

I have been under this near new bridge about 20 times in the past couple of days. After dark I walked over from our accommodation and found the cache in the first place I felt. I guess that it was happens when you have been caching for 20 years. Neat job on the 3D printer.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Spent a good 20mins looking for this one!!
Any additional clues would be appreciated!!!

After attending TOMBI!'s event and the nearby tree cache, I went my separate way to try this cache before heading home. Just as I pulled up in a nearby side street, the rain started and persisted for about fifteen minutes. Finally, I was able to dash out and up where I thankfully made a quick find. I was no sooner back in the car than the rain started again.

Many thanks for the nice hide and the series.

My first cache of the day. Took me a minute before I looked on the other side and found it straight away. TFTC!

Found while catching up on some local caches, Made a very quick find as the hint certainly helped me out. GZ spot on the mark.

Signed log and Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** Samuel737.

This makes the 2nd cache of 2 for today making a grand total of 3629 at 3:02PM on this Friday the 21st of October in the Year 2022

Phone battery minimal so had to use search and rescue method to find cache

GPS slightly deceived me, but once I widened my search it was easily found! TFTC

Spare parts fitted.... when finding this cache please be mindful not to lose any of its components....

Good to go.

Good hide! bison dropped out of main container as I retrieved it but luckily was within reach of the structure and didn’t fall. Not sure if there is a lid missing?

Cool engineering of this construction.
TFTC!

Needs repairs....

Sneaky little hide. TFTC Samuel737

I have been looking at the Unique Difficulty/Terrain challenge (GC54RAX) for ages. I have been working on a plan so that I can complete the 25 unique caches in one day and today (9/9/2022) was the day. I woke at 445am, drove over 220km and walked over 25K steps to complete this challenge. All caches were signed and in good condition unless otherwise mentioned.
Cache 11 of 25. A great spot for a cache. Was in the second spot I looked. TFTC

TFTC

Had a quick look yesterday and couldn’t find it. Came back today and got it straight away. FFTC

Found on my 2022 USA and Canada trip. This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 11197. Many caches may be logged by the “Gangsters” our travelling party consisting of steeba, The Rats, Wilbert67 and me!

Now I know that this is not the USA, nor Canada but a journey of 1000 steps has to start somewhere right? The other thing is the advantage of travelling to North America is that you land on the same day you took off so it gives you a good opportunity to tick your longest distance in a day!

This cache was found on the way to the train station and was a tricky hide but eventually I found it. A cool little cache I had to be careful not to drop it.

Thanks Samuel737 for the cache.

What a great find! My first ever challenging one. I would have found it straight away if I was looking on the other side
Still in perfect condition. I didn’t mind getting my knees dirty.

TFTC

Found

TFTC not much to say

After doing another of this CO'S caches I headed over to this one . It took me a little while to make the find and I was ultra careful not to drop the cache here . Thanks for the cache Team737 tnln replaced as found sl

Quick find but you do need nimble fingers to retrieve it . Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find on a Sunday afternoon. It was nice having a new cache pretty close to home. I remember when the bridge came in and thought it'd only be a matter of time before someone put a cache on it. TFTC!!! #1903

Had a go at this one the other day – just me and the phone. Could not find it. Came back today with the Geo wife and GPS and she found it very quickly. TFTC

A fairly quick find with no muggers around

Before this, I didn't have my own account and worked with my dad - The Garbageman but was there with him and I actually found this! TNLN TFTC

A quick park and grab after a short walk. We ran into some fellow cachers while here which was a bonus! TNLN TFTC

Encountered fellow hunters and spiders

Quick early evening find, TFTC Team 737

[FTF] A Quick find . TFTC TEAM737.

Quick find on this wet morning thanks to, as usual, accurate coordinates.
The rain kept away until I got out of the car, so thankfully the cache was in the first place I looked. TFTC

Find No: 8490. I meant to download #4 but mistakenly downloaded #2, then came to #4, good coords for a quick find, thanks for the cache Team737!!
