Cache #394.
For this one bring your bicycles, or bring your walking shoes, but most importantly bring your hunting qualities and your eyes............
In October 2019, I was doing a maintenance ride around Myrtleford and noticed some cute little mosaics hiding along one of the walking trails.
I discovered later that two local ladies calling themselves "The Crackpots" had started to put these little treasures out under cover of darkness for people to discover. At the time they felt a little like vandals.
Regulars along the walking path began stopping each other to point out the mosaics, so The Crackpots made a couple more, and before long the mosaic mystery was drawing children and adults alike out from their houses and onto the trail. The town was on the hunt for the mosaics, and the culprits.
Initially back in June when I first put some caches out there were roughly 60 mosaics but now there are many more, and we try to find the new ones each time we visit town. One of the latest additions is the wonderful Snakes & Ladders game in the centre of town. It has its own cache (GC93AYP).
