Logs for The Lost Patrol 

Persistence pays off. 

A quick find while the girls were in the museum. 

Nice big container. I removed some trash and left a geocoin. 

I left a replacement down low in the brick. 

I poured the water out and stamped the wet log book. 

Here in the sound aboard the Norwegian Spirit after a rough previous day sailing.Enjoying calm seas and sunshine today for our circuit of three “sounds”.
Tickled to find an Earth Cache here. 

Found it about six meters east of where Mr. Garmin said it was. 

Thought it was there but after a quick glacé dismissed it. Wandered around and came back to it. 

Snuck away again from the tour group to find this one. I added some swag. Nice size. 

Added some swag and a pencil. 

I can see our ship from here, 

Our tour stopped here. 

An easy find between people taking pictures, 

I like library caches. They are always a good place to leave trackables. 

Could not find a year of donation (WP1). 

Here with a tour group. I found the lid but the box is missing. 

Broke away from our tour to sign this one. Clued the guide in about Geocaching. She says she used to fish here with a friend, 

Here with a tour group. Cloudy and threatening rain today.
Thanks for the virtual. 

I made this much harder that it is. I thought I had located it in the nearby fence and broke a pair of tweezers trying to pry it out. I went down the street and stole a piece of cutlery from a restaurant came back and discovered that what I thought was a cache container was just a piece of plastic. I returned to my original GZ and felt around. There was where. I first suspected it.
Staying nearby before getting on a cruise ship. 

Visited here off the Norwegian Spirit. Able to log it thanks to help. 

Second trip to Auckland. Always have to visit this museum. 

We left Wendover at about 0730. We punched the cache coordinates in the Nuvi and she did a good job. She sent us down 215 to the 15 then up the canyon on 6 to 89. Just shy of Fairfield we ran into a sheep drive. No construction delays today because of the holiday. Miller Flat Road was eleven miles of gravel and dust. We pulled into the campground at noon. By 1300 we were back and having a picnic.. Turn left in the campground toward camp spots 1 thru 15. Beyond them you will find the end of the road and number 19. To the left of nineteen is the trailhead. After you get across the creek you will pick up a geotrail that goes uphill right to the cache.
I took two travel bugs and left two. Looks like folks aren’t logging the bugs they take out of the cache. Only one Cache left for my Jasmer challenge. 

The hint helped a lot after not seeing it in the guardrail. Only two more on my Jazmer quest. I left a geocoin. 

Went out and got a couple before it got crowded this morning. I had to wait out a couple of muggles. 

Staying nearby atThe Sheraton. Had to find this one before leaving town. 

Gave it two tries. First using spoiler. Went back and researched it looking a satellite map and then followed GPS. No luck. 

Good container for an urban cache. 

Took the ferry to lunch with the Geosteins. Daughter sent the answers.
We had dim sum with some shipmates and took the ferry back to our hotel in Kowloon. 

Log was full so I stamped on top of everyone else. 

Log was damp so I dried it out. 

A good hide. I took some junk out of it.. 

Found it all taped up tight with no log sheet. I left a log sheet. Nice sized cache but with all the pens there was no room to leave a trackable. Went back today and at the other end of the same structure I found the real cache. I don’t. Know what the box of pens is. 

It had rained recently so we were treated with a bit of falling water. Here with Geosteins on a train ride. We were delighted to discover that there was an Earth Cache here. 

Not much time here so I couldn’t let it stump me. A muggle asked if I had lost something. He was familiar with Geocaching. 

Geosenses led us to the cache. That is where I would have put it. 

Waiting to board ship. One last cache. Overlooked it once then Geosteins shouted “ I got it”. 

I have a lot of work invested in finding this one. Got a picture of the ship I am about to board. 

Not where Mr. Garmin said it was but an easy find. Moldy inside. 

The resident muggle haves us some help after watching us wander around, 

Got it after visiting the museum. 

Marched out and found it before our flight to Sydney. Logs are all full and no trackable found in the cache. 

Visited on an early morning hike. This side was still in shadows. 

The tour bus stopped here on Friday enroute to Uluru. Everyone ran to the potty while I ran to ground zero for the cache. I got a good picture today on the way back. Thanks for the Earth Cache. 

I took the short hike into this oasis with a group and our guide. The guide explained the aboriginal explanation for what we were seeing and it made perfect sense. 

Our guide used the term Inselberg. That describes it perfectly. I am always tickled to find an Earth Cache in my travels. 

Our bus stopped here briefly so I made a dash for the cache, 

Worth the short hike. Views on both sides. 

A short hike on our pit stop. 

I wandered around the yard a while. Luckily there was a late tour so I was able to make the grab. 

Found it SW of ground zero. Evening so muggles around.
