Thank you for hosting this geocaching Event! The date of the Event has passed. We automatically archive Events after 30 days (60 days for Mega- and Giga-Events). Attendees can still log archived Events, log trackables, and share their experiences.
Cachemas in July is in full swing and I headed north today to join the festivities with like-minded elves in Gisborne.
It took a little longer than expected to leave Melbourne (should have asked the Google Assistant to Wake-Me-Up! earlier!
) but I made it to the coffee get-together for the catch-up.
I 'participated here with relaxing non-action' in anticipation of the morning's CITO action nearby.
I've actually been up here several times recently, both for caching and for parkruns including the newly launched local Dixon Field parkrun. And this coffee shop featured then too!
Thanks for organizing this event, wespro.

**Chronicles of a Souvenir Chaser**
July 2023 Streak souvenir chasing status : Day 24 of 28.
I'm currently chasing a souvenir - attempting a 28-day caching streak during July for the Wheel-of-Challenges souvenir campaign.
Easy (2 days) - Completed.
Medium (7 days) - Completed.
Hard (28 days) - In progress.
Day 1 of 28 - Drove to a local cache. Just a drive-by but a playground is always challenging!
Day 2 of 28 - Drove to an industrial area and then walked to a section of the FT for one cache.
Day 3 of 28 - Drove to the KCT and cycled 6km to a cache.
Day 4 of 28 - Cycled 25km from home, around KCT detours, to the FT, and then found 2 caches in the northern part of the KCT.
Day 5 of 28 - Drove to Geelong, completed an adlab plus bonus.
Day 6 of 28 - Found a cache near the morning's Brimbank parkrun.
Day 7 of 28 - Drove to the KCT and cycled 9km. A DNF followed by a find.
Day 8 of 28 - Cycled 5km to and along the Seaholme foreshore. Feet wet for a cache.
Day 9 of 28 - Drove to the FT and cycled 12km to the westernmost section of the FT geotrail for 2 caches.
Day 10 of 28 - Cycled from home and did a 34km loop including the FT from Williams Landing to Millers Rd, finding 2 caches out west.
Day 11 of 28 - Cycled from home and did a 10km loop for a cache at Truganina Park. A DNF followed by a find.
Day 12 of 28 - Rest from cycling. A quick drive-by in a Williams Landing park, with the challenge provided by the nearby playground environment.
Day 13 of 28 - Found 2 caches and 2 lab WPs near the morning's Sunbury parkrun.
Day 14 of 28 - Signed a challenge cache in Lysterfield (not good enough for this streak), then found a quick drive-by cache at Westona in the evening.
Day 15 of 28 - Cycled 21km along the Foreshore Trail to Williamstown. A DNF followed by a GC6 find.
Day 16 of 28 - Drove to Williamstown for the daily cache. A DNF followed by a multi find.
Day 17 of 28 - After a DNF on a FTF attempt in Footscray I found a cache at Truganina Park. This was a busier caching day than usual which included a second DNF, a missed TDOC FTF, and attending one of the TDOC Cachemas events in Williamstown.
Day 18 of 28 - Low on mojo on a cold rainy day, so settled for a quick local drive-by at Seaholme.
Day 19 of 28 - Biggest caching day so far - a 31km cycle picking up 7 caches along the KCT.
Day 20 of 28 - Found 2 caches near the morning's Toolern Creek parkrun in Melton.
Day 21 of 28 - 2 FTFs on TDOC caches near home, plus 6 caches in the south-east.
Day 22 of 28 - Found a cache at Altona Meadows while on a 11km cycle to Williams Landing.
Day 23 of 28 - Attended an event and found a few caches on a 4km walk looping around Bundoora Park.
Day 24 of 28 - Attended a couple of events in Gisborne and cached around Melton.

Who doesn't enjoy Cachemas in July?, particularly in a nice venue with good food, coffee and friends.
Thanks wespro for organising this pick me up event before the CITO.
Thanks wespro for organising this pick me up event before the CITO.
I had a number of plans for today's geocaching run. They included :-
20 caches in Macedon Ranges LGA.
12+ caches in Moorabool LGA.
12+ caches in Melton LGA.
CITO, Event and Tree Attribute in new LGA.
2002 old geocache.
And most importantly - Geodetic Survey Way Point.
Not sure about Melton & Moorabool LGA numbers, will have to recheck LGA borders but had a great day with 41 finds in total, in lots of different environments. Highlight would have to be Mt Macedon.
Had some great chats with other geocaches while here.
Very expensive Coffees here, but very delicious too.
Thanks for the cache Wespro

Always a great catch up with the usual crowd and a few new faces. The Geopup got a doggie donut and I had the best banana bread, great choice Westpro. Happy trails, Deanside ??
Of course Mary & David were there. Yet another early start, buy only for D this time. Mary had some back pain (from too many CITOs?), so stayed home to recover. A good roll up for cachers from near and far. Great coffee, and the aroma of toast and various other delights was delightful. A very pleasant cafe, and a jolly atmosphere as its name indicated. Our thanks to wespro.
Ripper venue and tasty food to fuel up with before we set to work!
Thanks for the event wespro.
Thanks for the event wespro.
Who knew there were so many Jolly Miller Cafes around the place. This one might be the best of the ones I've been to. Good to see so many people attend before heading off to the CITO.
Thanks wespro...good start to the days proceedings....
