This was a fun hide and nice to find something s but different. The log will be hard to get out as time goes on. TFTC ??
As we had an unexpected trip south yesterday, we took the opportunity to look for caches in the recently published Highway 1 series. Yesterday we looked for the caches as we headed south - today we looked for caches on the other side of the highway as we headed north.This is an excellent series with well designed caches placed thoughtfully and with safe parking very close by. There were some interesting cache containers, with one particular style we hadn't seen previously - a great design used in a number of hides. Unless stated otherwise, coordinates were accurate (within 5m) and the caches were in good condition.The CO's, quite rightly, have included a very important warning about walking from one side of the highway to the other. It would be remiss of us not to add another. *In some places there are U-turn bays which allow safe access to a cache on the other side of the highway. However, once on the other side, the same access cannot be used safely nor legally to return to the original direction of travel - instead backtracking in the direction opposite of your intended travel is necessary before resuming your original direction of travel.* If possible, the caches are best tackled by looking for those on the side of the road you are travelling, not the other side of the highway. Yesterday we travelled south and were able to find 17 without crossing the highway. Today we looked for the other 16 tomorrow as we travelled north.**Today started as it did yesterday - another of the unique cache containers: certainly beats a mint tin.**Thanks Tas_Geo for this cache and the very enjoyable series.
A new series of caches on the Midland Highway published in the week before I was heading north for the 'Hobart Show Day' long weekend - nice one.With the GeoGSP's loaded in the car, today we headed north.This was our first stop and a successful find was made. On to the next one.......
Thanks Tas_Geo for placing Dysart Highway 1 (Tasmania). Swampy and I headed back to plunder more of the Northern coast over the Hobart Show long weekend. 4 day long weekend for 1 days annual leave. Sweet. This is day 1. Hobart to Devonport via the central highlands. This run has us finding both GC and GCA caches. So many caches, so little time. This is my GC find #2093 and was found on 24/10/2024 at 06:35FTF: Found with: SwampyWeather: fairMuggles: noneLight level: goodCache condition: goodDistance from GZ: Your cache was visited by my trackables: TB9QQD2, TB9KZ39 and TB7HH81
Hi Tas_Geo. Today we found your cache on the Devo trip for the year. VK7HCH and I hatched yet another plan to whip it up to the north to continue our plundering of caches both GC and GCA. As there are so many caches in this area we had freedom of choice to do those we wished to. We have solved a few puzzles so we can find those and lots of others. Although I didnt find the girl U want, the caches were enough. Its a beautiful world here in Tassie. Thanks for hiding the cache for us to find today. Finding this cache takes my GC finds to 5157 and I found it on Thursday 24 Oct 2024FTF: NoMates: VK7HCHMuggles: Condition: GoodWeather: slightly cloudyMy favorites:Creative - Back to the future 1 by peaches (GCA5JYD)Hardest - Men in Black Holes by SG-3 (Archived)Most visited - Dragons Lair by Shagzter (GC2E33)Tractable also visited your cache
**FTF** 11.30am.Saw this series come out and we needed to do a few things before we could head out, then the daughter rang to see if we could take her to the city so she could pick up a work car. With that in mind Male membsec changed his original plans but unfortunately he was only going to go for one but ended up doing a few more! He needed to be back for our family get together to celebrate our granddaughters 9th birthday. Interesting cache placement and idea!TFTC
When you don't use your real account names and use a sock puppet account, we just note who's behind it so that if there's an issue, we know who to talk to.You don't need to put it on every cache, I'll just note it at my end.Cheers.
