Out n about with m4yb grabbing some caches. After joining the titanium crew with a brand new left knee and being stuck at home for nearly 3 months it was time for a good getaway! Seeing wed missed IGD 24, Toodyay was a good place to get done fresh air, so we booked a couple of night in the straw bale cottage in town. Thanks for the hide & Barnzy12

Megawat60 and I sadly missed IGD24 due to his knee upgrade. So now, making up for it with a few days in Toodyay. Set off today to look for the solved puzzles and multis as well as the Challenge caches, which were checked to confirm our eligibility.Good finds thanks to good hints.Many thanks to the COs for their hard work!

We are on our way back over to the West for a friends memorial service in Geraldton but this trip we are taking our time , enjoying the drive and picking up a few caches and taking in the scenery. We are mainly concentrating on Ad Labs, Earth caches and Virtual's as these don't give you any muggle problems. Of course there will be others in between.. As we have now ran out of Adventure Labs the next favorite type is challenge occasions as if you can't qualify it gives you something to aim for when you go out hunting.Many thanks for this great challenge idea our proof is below.[[Team Crackers](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Team%20Crackers) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCARHVC/88969 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.User has 1648 finds (500 needed).Filters:( region:Western Australia , country:Australia)

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Back in WA to visit family and work Grain Harvest. Headed out today, hoping the roads wouldn't be too muddy after all the overnight rain. Turned out okay but some soft edges made parking a challenge in a couple of spots. 2 DNF today.FelixII fulfills challenge 2JAY Challenge #11 - 500 Club (GCARHVC) according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCARHVC/88969TFTC Barnzy12

Today is International Geocaching Day and we are up in TOODJAY at the event put on by West Oz Geocaching Committee to mark this special day and weekend . The geocaching plan today for Taurus Six and I was : Firstly, to collect all the puzzle caches just out of town on the Goomalling- TOODJAY Road, we had solved all puzzles earlier the last few with a little help from CO . Secondly, we need to collect a couple of caches from the two LGAs east and north of TOODJAY to qualify for the challenge cache we accomplished this. For Goomalling as part of the GG series then we hit the back roads to Victoria Plains and collected a few in Bolgart; thirdly , we are collecting all the challenges caches also just out of town, especially now that we have the correct LGAs - we had the pleasure of undertaking many of these caches with PP2; fourthly , we are collecting the multi caches that just came out yesterday having solved them last night and this morning here again we had the pleasure of caching with PP2 ; fifthly , we are collecting all the Adventure Labs around town and sixthly; we will collect any other geocaches that we come across for the day. The weather is looking inclement so we best get as many early as possible because it looks like it could be stormy . All in all a fabulous day of geocaching in this glorious part of WA . Thanks to the organisers and all the geocachers who have placed caches especially for this weekend .

Found on IGD with Caperdoodle 2

Spent most of the morning solving the multis in town. Then headed out to grab them all, along with a couple puzzle and challenge caches.This is my 1163rd find!In the end, I'm feeling more and moreThere won't be any endNo ice walls, no frozen firmament to clearly defineThe corners and lines of our divine inventionSo paper-thin you see right through itBut I bet when you can't find an edgeBy a map half-writtenIt could feel like the end to have to keep goingThe inkwells of prophecy and cartographyDried up long agoThey're hoarse from speaking of our studied hesitationTo shoulder the weight of our bad-bhaving'Cause when Atlas shrugs, whose back is breaking?And I know how it feels to th handsHeavy as the heavensA weight that could fold you to keep holdingWell, you'll stand like you stood as a babeTalking at the house plantsOn your own, honest and trulyYou'll rise like landPulled up at the sound of some strange commandmentA moon of light reflecting fullyAnd I guess it would feel like rebirthOut of some kind of dying to see yourself so glowing
