God, I hate 'em in fig trees. Went around at least three times before giving up. As I stumbled away, I literally put my poking stick on the cache. Heard the magic sound of a cache being poked and couldn't believe I'd missed it every time previously. Well, that's caching, so I SL/TN/LN and added a smilie instead of a frownie to my score. TFTC.

Captain Terror spend long time looking for Running Bear, use Digging Stick to look to no avail, Captain Terror soon to head off on great trip, but soon spot him, Running Bear hiding amongst Tree Roots and Dry Leaves. Running Bear had wet logbook, so Captain Terror dry him using Warm Radiator, logbook go back dry and signed. TFTC.

Also had the song by Johnny Horton stuck in my head while I looked.

I loved the container on this one. The log book is still wet unfortunately - but still signable. I put it in a new bag - but of course it is still wet somewhat! TFTC Cooroy Scouts Smile

Made a reasonable attempt on this one, but muggles kept driving by, and making the whole experience unsettling. Not sure if this is still there, no logs since July?

Found it after some searching. Don't know why it shoulf have been n easy find. I guess that is what makes for a good "hide".

Got it - nice easy find for a change. Great bear with nice feathers.

Lots of houses around with the possibility of muggles watching closely. Very disconcerting to hear "Watcha doin, Man" and to see several small children and an adult muggle in a back yard half way up the hill watching my every move. Quickly finished and left.

The cache was wet from the overnight downpour and the log was soggy. With muggles watching there wasn't the opportumity to dry things out.

The prospect of my 4th DNF this morning kept me going round and round. Finally I cracked the thermos and sat down with a coffee, and what do you know - the cache was popping up its head right next to my elbow. It's a Wonder what caffeine does for the Wits. TFTC Cooroy Scouts.

We pulled up at GZ expecting an extensive hunt. That is one huge tree! What a magnificent specimen! We found the cache quickly, as it was completely exposed. Unfortunately, it hadn't been sealed properly and was full of water. The log book was safe and dry in it's snaplock bag, but all the swaps were had it (apart from the rock). We removed the soggy mess and put some new water resistant swaps in, signed the log and returned the cache, covering it as we left. Thanks for the cache!
