Towered Over

Those who visit this geocache will soon learn why it’s Towered Over (GC1GQJB) by Shifter Brains. 

We approached GZ after a short drive down Scaddens Ridge Road, with a minor detour just at the cache location that also acts as a safe parking area. The cache had us stumped for a little bit while our GPSr danced around, but before long we were onto it and the cache was in our paws. Not too easy, not too hard – just right!

Wolfie Towering Over the Cache

We love these sensible geocache containers that Shifter Brains use. They obviously love their SPC fruit, and these containers make for an excellent geocache in the right location, especially when camouflaged.

While signing the log book a muggle drove by – but thankfully too quickly to notice the team squatting in the undergrowth doing our suspicious activities. We quickly returned the cache after signing and left the area before the muggle returned.

Thanks again for another cache Shifter Brains – you’re keeping us busy, and we like it.

Crimson Mountain

We’re not sure if the name of this mountain really is Crimson, or if that’s just an arbitrary name for this geocache, but Crimson Mountain (GCTDVX) by Ourhome was our 2nd find for 2009.

This small cache was located directly along a dirt road through the Ourimbah State Forest, and there was a lack of obvious parking opportunities at the cache so we just pulled over to the side of the road and put the hazzard lights on. Although narrow, thankfully it’s normally a quiet road – and we had no passing traffic on this occasion. 

Wolfie in the Woods

This was a nice, quick and easy find. We retrieved it safely after some hesitation with the spider risk, but thankfully there were no angry arachnids waiting for us. Being a small cache we made no swaps, signed the log, and replaced it and moved on.

Another one down. Thanks for the cache!

Bucket O’ Fun

It’s a new year, and this set to be TeamWolfie’s biggest year to-date – what better way to start it than a run of geocaching on the first day of 2009. We started out back in the Ourimbah State Forest to finish off a few geocaches that we hadn’t got around to on our last visit. The first, being a large cache by Bucket O’ Fun (GC19GG2) by basscadetz.

Our trusty Mio Digiwalker guided us directly to GZ, which turned out to be on a minor subsidiary dirt track, running off a main dirt track through the forest. It was drivable in our AWD vehicle almost all but the last 50m or so which was an easy walk.

The name of this cache is a big clue as to what to look for!  It was, the largest geocache TeamWolfie has discovered so far, and it was pretty easy to find if you have an idea what you are looking for.

Big enough for a Wolfie

It’s a nice change to see a large cache like this, with quality contents. If Wolfie were a travel bug, this is the type of cache he’ would have to sleep in – and as most of us know, there just aren’t enough caches of this size around to accommodate our Wolfie as an official travel bug, so for now he’s stuck traveling around with the rest of the team, going from cache to cache and having his picture taken.

We had no swaps  on us that were worthy of this cache, so we signed the log and moved on after placing the geocache back in it’s resting place.  Thanks for the cache – this being a milestone as our first find for 2009.
