Caching in Burbank with Paul and Amanda

Sunday, July 5, 2015

As Amanda had a TB for me to take on my trip to Europe we decided to meet, and why not, go caching together! :-)  Kevin and I left early on a glorious winter morning and were at Burbank (south of the river) at 8.30 am.  Paul and Amanda arrived a short time later and we set off to do the Rabbit and Rat series, or at least, part of them as Paul and Amanda had already done the first half.  Still, there were at least 23 left for us to find, so we got going...

Rat Plague 4 

All rat containers were cute.

This cache took a long time, but Amanda found it in the end.

There were clever containers too!

We're having a jolly good time.

Possibly Tricky Rabbit 6 

And from here on something didn't tally between the logged caches and the pictures, 

hence the 'possibly' in the headings.

 

Possibly Tricky Rabbit 5

 

An almost certain: Rabbits-ville

 In the end we'd found 23 caches and no DNFs.

A perfect day, with great friends and beautiful weather.

Caching in the Redlands

Saturday, July 4, 2015

Kevin was staying with me for the weekend and we were going for a little trip to Mt. Cotton in the Redlands.  The trip being too big for just going and returning home was small enough to give us some extra time in the Redlands for geocaching, so that's what we did.  We found a few that had been eluding us in the past, so we were happy to turn them into smileys this time.  The weather was great and just right for a walk, which we needed for the caches around Moogurrapum Creek.

Twin Barrel 

A rather confusing cache with different sets of coordinates according to other cachers, and a logbook with a different name.  Also, the signed names in the logbook don't match the logs on line. We suspect that there are 2 cache containers and I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was a throw down.

 

RBBW - Roadside Bump

 

 

RBBW - Roadside Stop  

No, this is not the cache, but a long dead wallaby lying nearby

 

RBBW - a PARK for Business 

 

Moogarrupum Creek-Parklands Footbridge

The Moogarrupum Creek Series with which we had such problem finding the caches of in the past.  

 

Moogarrupum Creek-The Twisted Tree   

How hard is it to find a tree as twisted as this one.  Answer: very hard 

(when you are looking for it on the wrong side of the creek!) ;-)

 

Moogarrupam Creek-Blackbutt

This one took a while to find, but perseverance wins.  

 

RBBW - Great Wall of Redland Bay

Back to the RBBW series.  This is one that I couldn't find some time ago.  

A little tricky one that I definitely should have been able to spot! 

 

RBBW - A Random Tin   

And the last one of the day.

Kevin found one more, but I had already logged my find some time ago.
