It seems I dont qualify for this challenge, though the log is now signed CC24 in anticipation.Thanks to ilook4geo for this 115 Micros in Hawkesbury Challenge and for keeping the game alive with the pursuit of yet more goals to achieve

Might take me awhile to qualify for this one.Thanks for the challege ilook4geo

Found with Everest High and Brewmaker. Unfortunately we can't claim a find just yet.

Found with minniek and the rest of Team CC24 (Canberra Canoeists 2024).Day 2 of our Colo River Region Caching Adventure. After an amazing days caching yesterday mainly on the river, it was time for some bushwalking for caches today. The main aim were the Challenges and Yin Yang series (or at least as many as we had solved). Nice quick find. Signed, returned, and we continued on our way to the next one.Thanks ilook4geo !! Will check my stats for this one.

Found with a fun group of geofriends while in the area for a geocaching adventure. Signed as Canberra Canoers 24 (CC24). TFTH Will change to found log once qualified.

Found on a day out this way, doing some of the Yin Yang series, challenge caches and whatever else came our way. OCW with 4Rods, EverestHigh and Its_Dozzie, we managed to survive the heat, the hills, the bush and deafening cicadas. A few goannas were spotted as well, and we enjoyed the scenery in the many places we visited.I need some more before I qualify.

Spending some time caching around the NSW/ACT southern tablelands with lots of side trips. TFTC.Another day around the hills of Colo River collecting challenges, solved puzzles and traditionals.A great day out with the Canberra Crew signing as CC24. It was hot & exhausting with lots of bush walks over many hills. Wonderful scenery. A long convoy of cars carrying kayaks. Awesome.Many great puzzles that are well thought out. Many to still solve.I don't qualify yet.

Log signed today, will have to do a few more trips to qualify for this one.Today the Canberra crew that had gathered in the area for the colo River caches, met up this morning for group caching. We started the day walking a trail of challenges, before moving on to ying yang puzzles. Our group consisted of kittykatch, joolay, contesta, MinnieK, Fitzy, search4, Aykayem, smittengranny, FurfacesLL, loci, Nibletricecakes, Gliss, TikvaNZ, sacada and myself. We signed as CC24 (Canberra Canoeists 2024) as our group name to represent all cachers.A nice walk through the bush for the challenge caches. The cicadas were loud, oh so loud at times! But a good series and a stunning view out over the colo River we had paddled from the morning before from the trad at the end.With our walk complete, we convoyed from cache to cache mostly doing the ying yang puzzles solved. A ferry crossing saw the last cacher cross, but the ferry sat on the other side chatting to the one car returning and after a long time waiting we turned and went of caching our own way unable to cross. Later, we crossed elsewhere only to meet up with the group returning!!! A warm day and the walks become too much for me with hills, a great day (Weekend) though and time to return home. A great area to visit and cache, thanks for your cache!

Meet the requirements of the challenge. Signed and replaced. Tftc

(2 of 5 today)Was after some finds, and I have not been up this way for a while - so a pleasant Sunday afternoon seemed the ticket. I still had one solved puzzle in the *Ying Yang* series, so might as well grab that. Then snaffled a few newer challenge caches that have popped up.Then saw a new apparently unfound cache close to home, so swung by hoping for the First2Find.###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###[Gatherer Hade](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Gatherer%20Hade) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA5HCG/75740 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.User has 163 finds (115 needed).Filters:( sizes (Micro) , county:Hawkesbury , country:Australia)###END OF QUALIFYING DATA###Of course I forgot to bring a certain TOTT - only realised part way here, so my choice of finds was more limited than I'd hoped.A quick scout around GZ turned up the prize.Added my ink to the log, replaced and away.SLTNLNTFTC
