Description
Access the cage, find the cache, wave to the Muggles
Find this cage:
and find the cache!
Wave to the muggles, all around
I had to decide what to call this cache location.
and "cradle to the grave" didn't sound very apropriate, but you will see why
this name may have suited once you arrive.
'Mini Passover' was another name I had for it, but that gives away too much.
The cache is a micro, log only, bring your own pen/pencil just in case the micro pencil is missing.
not much more i can say about this location except it was on my to-do list for ages.
Depending on what time you attempt this cache the Muggle factor will vary from Impossible to "any body home?"
just a fun one to fill in my quiet sunny afternoon.

Found this today about 2:45pm. I am affected by a cold and been looking for GCA caches that don't require climbing mountains. I had come by here two days ago and had a look but no joy. Returned today with geodaughter to give me courage I guess. Last time I searched everywhere with my feet on the deck. But this time I jumped up on the railing even though normally I am not vertically challenged and started to search. Finally I discovered it and also discovered I should have found it last time and without jumping on the railing. I don't know quite how I missed it probably because I was looking for something different.
The cache container was a little difficult to open but it moved eventually. Signed the log and replaced the cache back to where I had found it.
Thanks for the cache.

I first had a hunt for this with my offsider THC 4 years ago, and have only now got back here to have another go.
Walking along the rail at peakhour probably isn't the best advertisement for geocaching, but I reckoned I knew where it was this time, and I just had to do the deed.
After a short search/walk the little bugger was finally seen and then in hand. Hooray!!!! TNLNSL TFTC

Cool, my oldest/longest (age since last find) find yet, I saw the other december date in the log, I didn't realise it was LAST december! lol. Still safe, high and dry. Hard to open, but it's obvious why now lol. This vertically challenged person had to climb on the rail to get it though Jumping of the rail made the bridge bounce ROFL. SL, TFTC!

Decided to do a few GCA caches around the area. Actually took us a while as we didn't want to be sticking our hands spiderwebs. But soon found it thanx to the GeoDad. TFTC GeoMonkeys

Found it at 3am while out doing Da Pesky Code.....we were so close last time, it would appear we were only one off the mark. Must have looked funny me carrying a milk crate and a torch at 3am to stand on because I couldn't climb. Pity it's a GA cache, it hasn't had the attention it probably deserves.
Thanks for checking this, our bad......don't know how we managed to miss it, as spikeymikey did his monkey thing and climbed up......just not up high enough it seems....
did a cache check on this balmy 40 degree day....
found cache in place and nice and dry. log still has plenty of room.
- updated hint.

Perhaps peak hour is not the best time to look for this one... perhaps I dindt look hard enough! No love today.
This one took a lot of searching as the GPS wouldn't settle, but found the sneaky little thing in the end.
Thanks

Poked the "artificial: wasp nest with a stick and had to come back when wasps had left. Soon found the real cache.

Finally got to do this one while no-one was about. Not the easiest to see but with a bit of poking around with a pen it plummetted gracefully into my waiting hands.
Out with the mrs (Supersnoop) having a coffee and cake

Another cache we were determined to not give up on and once again persistence now allows us to log a find not a DNF.
Thanks for the cache GeoMonkeys. Very enjoyable and boy this cache rocked !!

Found with Skatta Brains & co. Spent about 10 minutes rocking the bridge. Many thanks for the cache.
Cache #1 @ 10:30am
First Cache of the day and a nice one to start the ball rolling with.
Once the Muggles had moved on we started the search and it wasn't long before I discovered the Cache tucked away.
The Hardest part is remembering where you have already looked.
Thanks for the Cache Pesky.

great cache. took a few sweeps to find.not much foot traffic to worry about on the day before christmas!
Had a short look around on the bridge and from the ground but didn't spot the cache.
Nice one! I wasn't able to reach it so a little thought had to go into how I could retrieve it. Am sure the cars whizzing past underneath were wondering what I was doing. THFC SL.
The rain ensured there were no pedestrians out and about today, so I had the cage to myself. a couple of slow passes and I spotted its hiding place and was able to retrieve it and replace with only a little difficulty.
This one was found with the assistance of the Geogirl, kids can be so handy for Caching.

After finding the cage we managed to find the cache, even with the peak hour traffic passing below. Wonder what they thought we were looking for.
Just a good thing one of us was tall enough to reach the cache.
Thanks Pesky!
