Twelve hour day

That was yesterday, boy was I tired when I got home as we had done about eight kilometres of walking as well.

It was a geo day and we set out to do ten different ones.

So first was a Multi (more than one point) then we did a Traditional as it was close by, then a Puzzle one that we had worked on a few days ago. Then we went to a large park and did a Chirp chirp, an earth cache, a letter box and a tree climb.

Lunch at the park and then on to a CITO (cache in Trash out) where we spent  about an hour pulling weeds and looking for koalas and tawny frog mouth owls (one of each was found as well as a bush turkey). Meet some other like minded people. There was another letter box in the bush that we did. The first two letter boxes that I had found where actual letter boxes so the two on Saturday were disappointing as one was on the ground, the other was a small tube hanging in a tree.

We did a WhereIgo in Old Petrie village, followed and found all the spots and answered the questions but had to wait for a wedding to finish as our final destination was almost at the same spot. Up to Mt Cootha for a very old visual cache, boy was it getting bus up there because of the fireworks happening after dark, we got there just before they closed the road. Our last cache was a web cam in the city, we had to locate it and then using techo by phones get caught on the camera.

Our last port of call for the day was at a park to meet a fellow cacher from USA who was going to be there for thirty minutes. We were a little early so had dinner at a Thai noodle place, excellent meal and so quick. Got to chat with others and check out some swag and trackables, I picked up one that wants to end up in Wagga Wagga. Finally home at 9 pm, what a day but it was good to have that under our belts.
