Logs
Contacted the owner this morning in regards to accessing this cache tonight after work.
arrived at the cache owners home where we discussed all things caching and exchanged our geocacher caches.
I then set off in search of the key, and after a short drive i arrived at the hiding place, after using some strength to remove the container (that was a powerful magnet) i had the key in hand and the first part of the cache open, i then set off to the next waypoint in search of a code for the second part. after arriving at Waypoint 2 the code was entered and opened the container where the was the logbook sitting inside. Signed the cache then closed all components back up and returned to the cache owner, Highly Recommend this cache. TFTC

TFTC 2y'stassies,
As you know AlbyDanlges organised to pick up the first part of this cache from the Latrobe event yesterday, and we kept it warm last night!
Today we attended WP1, needed about 17 weetbix to extract the magnetic item, got there eventually, worked out what we needed to do, replaced WP1 item, tucked the other bit back in the geomobile and continued on our way to other caches.
Many hours we arrived at WP2, but we were unable to find what we wanted. Eventually we arrived at the CO's where the logbook was finally revealed.
I hope AlbyDangles put my name in the log, I was too busy chatting!
A great concept cache, thanks. Recommended!
Found with AlbyDangles on day Four of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs.

"Hello 2y'stassies thank you for the cache.
After picking up the cache from the event we took it on a day trip.
It wasn't too long into the trip we got the first part open.
During our way back we stopped off to get the second part open but after trying many combinations I had to ring you to for help.
That is when I found the required information was missing.
When we returned the cache you opened it for us and we able to finally sign the log.
Today was the forth day of a road trip with EeePees.
Found on Saturday 00 January 1900 at 0000

What an excellent Reverse Cache. Having collected the required object Muggle Hubby became the custodian during the time we travelled to the next two destinations, not necessarily in a direct line. For, of course, there are always other caches to find along the way.
We were both very impressed when the final information was required, Muggle Hubby was duly impressed when it opened beneath his skilful fingers. A fun cache which comes highly recommended by us.
Thanks 2y’stassies for sharing it with us.

Had met up with the CO and they offered me this cache to try out....and who was I to say no.
So, I set off in the direction of another cache, and then hightailed it to the first waypoint of this one. Once there, the required item was in hand and I had the first part of the cache completed. However upon getting into it, I had to stop and think what was required next. I looked around the area but couldn't see anything to help, so went back to the item. It was then that I turned it over and found what my step was.
The requirement for the next were input...and wow, back to an area I've pasted a few times over the last few days. Once there, the final required was spotted, then correctly input....and there was the cache and log to sign. Log was quickly signed and the container returned inside.
Thanks ever so much 2y'stassies.....that was fun. The cache is sitting safely with me at the moment and all part will be returned tomorrow.
That was fun. Recommended.

We've been looking forward to doing this cache and managed to organise it with the COs for today. Set off to the first waypoint after attending the GC event at Bells Parade and then detouring to do some of the new caches at Morelands Beach. A straight forward expedition that resulted in the find of a lovely pink cache inside the reverse cache container. A photo of an arrow with the opened cache has been attached to the log. Thanks 2y'stassies for a great reverse cache
Wowee...awesome cache and concept.
Had no trouble locating the 2 wpts with accurate coords. Only hassle I had was removing wpt 1 due to the super strength magnet...lol.
Al went very smoothly...thoroughly enjoyed the cache and concept and very highly reccomended.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for another excellent cache...very much appreciated...cheers ST.

After attending two fantastic events on Goat Island, we were introduced to a new reverse cache box. Four teams headed off to find what was required to open the box. The coords and what was required to be done was spot on and after locating 2 waypoints we had the code to open the pink box. A very clever concept. Gooseandegg, TassieTrekkers, ChrisWhite62 and whitewebbs made a joint FTF at 11.35 am. Thanks 2y'stassies for a great cache. TFTRC

this was great fun, and a first for us in this format. A joint FTF with whitewebbs, ChrisWhite62 and Tassier Trekkers.
For us, today was all about the two (originally 5/5) events on the coast, that was the reason for our trip up. While we were up there we planned to find a few other caches to top up our meagre contribution to the States of the Nation Game. We managed a handful on the coast and one or two more on the Highlands Lakes Road, finding all but one (I need to check my cords on that one).
My apologies for the copy and paste log but if I have any hope of finishing and claiming some scavenges, it’s my only hope.
We found all containers in good condition and really enjoyed our time at the events this morning and our various finds during the rest of the day.
Thanks to the various cache owners of our finds today (mainly Tassie Trekkers and 2y’stassies).

We did this as a group after the event at Goat Island. I thoroughly enjoyed this Cache , my second reserve cache and I recommend it highly to others. The thought and ingenuity that 2y’stassies have put into this cache is outstanding. A group First to Find
