Ditched the car in favor of bicycles from now on. Had a very pleasant ride along the path grabbing these caches along the way. Thanks Ronice88
# 21645. The puzzle solver Robmc has had these done for a long time now. While the weather is still pleasant and with all the autumn colour in full force we decided to team up with Chewinprickles and have a nice ride and some harder walking to knock over this series.A fortunate find by Rob today as this little devil was once again playing in the grass. Thanks Ronice88
Chewinprickles, BettyBoo3747 and I decided upon today to try some of the F.L.A.K.E. puzzlesSo we loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Harrietville.We had solved them all when they first came out, but had not got around to look for them. We had to look at the puzzles again as so many of the hides were well themed.Nice puzzles and great hides for this series.We printed this out as large as we could, but it still took a few iterations for get the correct co-ords.Very lucky with the find today as the nano was just in the grass.Thanks, Robmc.
After a lovely relaxing lunch by the river and a change of clothes as it was warming up, we set off for an arvo of caching admiring the beautiful surrounds at different points along the way. This was the next for the arvo and the cache was easily found.TFTC Ronice88 - GJMMelb
I couldn't find this when I was here yesterday but, after a paf, I returned today and searched a bit harder. I found the little devil playing in the grass. Log signed and in good condition.Thanks Ronice88.
After a couple of days walking out and staying overnight at federation Hut , Mt Feathertop with Purplepeopleater. We had a go at doing caches around Harrietville and surrounding areas. With Puzzles solved and traditional cached to get, it made for a busy day of easy and not so easy terrain ratings. I will be back another day to finish off some of the ones we missed.

Down in the Victorian Highlands for a couple of days hiking and geocaching with DKMakka. Perfect weather and a welcome relief from the Sydney humidity.Solved the Flake Series in anticipation of our trip, and enjoyed the well themed and innovative puzzles. A lot of work has gone into the caches themselves and it was great to discover some monster size caches mixed into. An excellent series and loads of fun (and effort) Thanks Ronnice88, I will be back hopefully sooner than later to this wonderful area.SL TFTC
I was out with kbucky today to collect the majority of the SNOMO series. It was a beautiful day to be walking along the Bon Accord track. The numerous bird calls really added to the magical atmosphere of this lovely setting. We had a very busy day, walking over 13km's and then a quick bike ride along the Great Alpine road to collect some of the F.L.A.K.E series. It was a coincidence that I met a local woman hiking on the Bon Accord track and then I met her again, and her husband, on the bike trail as they were also riding. We were surprised to cross paths twice in the same day.I'm not good at this type of puzzle so some assistance was needed for the solve. A nice easy find to sign the log
A Maze to get around all Ronice88's caches in the Harrietville area.Our journey today, weirdobiker and I, was magical & mother nature was very kind to us - at this time of the year no snowflakes and glorious weather. We almost had a triathlon day - we hiked, we rode, and nearly swam on our journey around the Harrietville area. What a fabulously large and amazing kaleidoscopic experience! Only one Angksty episode. Loved that many caches had substantial SWAG (kids would love!) (NOT THIS ONE THOUGH!)Ronice, your commitment to make geocaching a positive experience for so many is exemplary - love your many creative puzzles that send our brains into a kaleidoscopic meltdown but teach us so much about our environment. Finding your caches is a special treat as you put so much effort into making your caches match the effort to solve the puzzle. Also love that you placed caches in places that allow for many different caching abilities to achieve.thanks for an epic experience caching in Harrietvillemany regardskbucky
FTF. Found on a trip to Harrietville. I have been frantically solving puzzles for this trip. Only had a few days so didn't manage to get them all solved yet. Then someone else did a quick trip and grabbed lots of the FTFs, luckily there were a few left and I had managed to solve some of them so still had the chance to get a few. This one was my second find for the day and again gave me the chance to stretch my legs. Spotted fairly quickly again. I liked this maze, it was much more doable than the other in this series. TFTC
