Some of the best journeys we've had have been on FTF hunts late at night.
We've walked up Black Hill (conservation park) in the dark experiencing the quiet serenity of the bush at night, found the cache (failed in the FTF by about 10 seconds BTW), then sat on a rock and had hot tea from a thermos with the whole of Adelaide's lights laid out below us.
We've walked up a hill to find again, the magic of a city at night laid out before us, heard foxes calling distantly and observed nocturnal animals moving about (possums and koalas) that we likely would have missed during the daytime.
We've charged up a hill in the dark in pursuit of an FTF, enjoying the cool night air and realising a tiny, hillside goat track on a steep hill is much less scary at night because you can't see the sharp drop off....
and found the cache (got the FTF this time), and started heading back down the hill only to bump into a fellow cacher and his dog.
We've driven through quiet city streets at night, looking at the places lit up, and challenged any lingering fear of the dark to get the FTF on a cache based on the "Blair Witch Project", an experience definitely made better by doing it in the dark, in line with the feel of the movie.
We have challenged ourselves, seen familiar areas in a new light (or dark, as it would be) and seen some wonderful sights, all because we are
