In Case of Fore!feit Aranda, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By Fore! on 22-Aug-10. Waypoint GC2DVBJ

removing "needs maintenance" for the archived caches.

The area is no longer a place that I would like to bring people. Alas.

Area had signs of major water flow from recent rain. Geowife and I searched the area for a while (including the pond area for a potential floating container) but with no luck. Either we just missed it or the container has gone. Will keep an eye on this one and if found later we will attempt again. Please note previous logs, BEWARE of needles. We did find a sharps container but fortunately no loose needles. TFTC

21/02/2012 17:13 DNF: Although I noted the previous DNFs, I was in the area. No cache today, guess I'll have to fore!feit.

No luck today. GPS was only accurate to 2 metres so this may have been part of the problem? Spent more than 30mins looking without luck. It was disappointing, and smelly. Will come back if someone else finds the cache in the meantime as I ride past this spot everyday.

Found the cache
Good Hide
Quick Find
Wasn't in the exact place the GPS was pointing too
Put it where we thought it was supposed to be well covered : )

Found with Cankid

Found with Team Thundercow

No luck today

Not to be ours today

Great hide!

Thought i'd grab this one before! (this is sad that i keep doing that..) getting the groceries.

I have, infact, turned up for a sporting event, to find the other team had fore!feited the game. Thankyou, year 9-10 girls soccer carnival. Hey, a day off school, is a day off school!

Bit of a gross area, like the previous cacher has said, eww needles. Yay for shoes. And gloves. Also a few bugs..i'm not squirmish, i just dont like them.

Anyway. Was nice and easily found.

Stoped looking for this one as soon as i started due to the high concentrate of needles in the area. Note to all if you look for this one make sure you where boots or dont even try!!!! No one needs to be jabed by a needle.

Had fun, thank you! Smelly swamp!

Recently acquired a smartphone with gps, and this is my first cache find with it.

Much easier this time, dunno how we missed it last time.

Found it this time in 30 seconds.

Interesting dump. Removed snail living on cache container. Tftc

Wierd! Couple of recent DNF's - yet when I arrive, the box is sitting right out in the open in the middle of the garden. Tucked it back under a grass - not a lot of other places to put it. TFTC.

Had a long look, but could not find. There was a lot of rain yesterday, maybe this disturbed the cache?

No luck today.

Came caching after a day of 40mm rain. The entire area is waterlogged and difficult to find telltale signs of a cache. Fence line is buried in mulch. Trees surrounded by mulchy ground cover. Gave up after 20 minutes trying the obvious places because I didn't bring my bucket and spade!

Tftc

Joint effort with Colby-one. Quick find. TFTC

grabbed with bug mumford this afternoon

TFTH

The existing cache container was pretty ordinary, luckily I had on me a custom cammo sprayed 200ml sistema complete with stash and swaps. Out with the old and in with the new, much better now. Thanks for the cache Fore! or perhaps thanks to me for the cache lol.

Turned up for the game with the whole team this time and duly signed the replacement cache.
Thanks Fore

Found at 8.35pm GAFF5 in the company of Blackie_71, Browngang, Chewinprickles, and Robmc. Captain Tomato came back to assist in this night expedition.
When we used to play tennis we travelled a long way one night only to find that the opposing team had forfeited - not happy Jan!
We are not sure that the container that we replaced is in the right spot. I think you will need to check it out.
Thanks Fore!

Have you ever turned up to a cache and found no container?
Fortunately, someone had pre-read the logs, and Blackie_71 provided a new 200ml sistema to replace the plastic bag.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found on a day out with pprass, Blackie_71, Robmc and Chewinprickles. TFTC. Blackie_71 gave it a new container.

Being away from home we were in a position to fix the issue with this one - I see someone has now come to it's rescue TFTC

A hot day out on foot today, we searched for a while, then read the previous logs, oh, no wonder!!

We then found it quickly, unfortunatly we didn't have a suitable spare container so had to replace as found.

Thanks Fore!

An interesting area with an interesting aroma! I also found the log on the ground, tucked away at the bottom of the pole and made a scribble that looked like my name. I had a spare baggy, so hopefully it will sutvive until it is rescued. I think i know where it belongs, which was the first place I looked, an oldy and and goody! Good to be back in Canberra and not talking to the AFP Thanks Fore!

Yeah buddy

No pen to write name though

Found it, buut it is in a very sad state, log only, no container.
You might want to fix it before it goes crazy!
TFT.... ummmm TNLN SL

It is always sad to see a muggled cache found log on ground , hid it under cover of twigs at ground zero TFTC

When I found it I saw it on the opposite side of the fence.

It needs a new container,
meanwhile the log is at the base of the fence

Went looking for it.[^]

Found it....

Please come and fix it, it's [xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(]

My GPS took me to a barren and unlikely GZ. I didn't spend long there, and didn't find it.

Found on a wet and cold miserable lunch. Love these hides when you can see what is out of place. TFTC

A very nice caching hide here - muggles will be ignorant, cachers should pick it very quickly. Well done Fore!

Found with HBB, glad he had an idea on what to look for, TFTC.

#333 Found with NoidnCo. Had an idea what to look for, but found the first was a red herring.....maybe that one? Yep, even better! TFTC!

On my way to pickup dinner I was a bit early, so I could grab this one before getting it. Thanks.

Quick find but a great hide. What a great idea....

TFTC

After ending up over this side of town with allrounder (on a wild goose chase due to a major man look on google) we ended up and GZ. I had the right idea to locate this cache however missed it the first time around. A second check and the find was made. Would have been easier in the light but a very clever cache once again from Fore!

TFTC

Very clever place for a cache TFTC

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

A nice quick find on a trip from QLD

TFTC Fore!

Quick find with the geoson while checking out the new works on the Belco Pool. Looks like its gonna be bigger than ever! TFTC

Walked past on my to and from work journey several times before figuring out where my first cache find was located. Raining too hard for me to do more than look inside, will sign the log once the sun comes out! TFTC.

I haven't done many caches in Belco so I it was a nice surprise to find a cache in a quiet place with no muggles to be seen anywhere. TFTC.

Fairly quiet down here this afternoon and was soon able to make a quick grab. TFTC

We parked nearby on a nice afternoon for a walk. Luckily everyone else was walking away from where the gps was pointing us. We looked and looked and the gps kept sending us in circles. Then Zita saw something that didn't look quite right... Nope, not it. "Hang on" said Enzo, "good thinking, how about that"?!? Yay - there it was! Nice hide, TNLNSL TFTC!!

Wow again clever hide very well and cache well too... thanks

nice morning stroll, great hide. thanks Fore!

#1623 On our Canberra caching weekend. Reading the name we instantly knew where abouts the cache may be & we were hoping there was indeed a forfeit, an away match or bye.....none eventuated. Nonetheless the cache was still doable and it was soon in hand whilst we watched a crow take a bath. Nicely concealed Fore!, thanks for the placement [^]

Quick find as I was in the area. Thanks.

A quick find with the iPhone after pie and coffee with 131.

Wouldn't like to play football in this area. Maybe some swimming in the nearby "pond" but not today.

Nice hide.

Last find for the day before retiring home. Nice hide.

didn't take to long - thanks to TopDawgz caching instincts

TFTC

Found on sunny arvo with GeoFamily. Took butterfly thing left bee finger puppet. Thanks

Found while on a mission to log most of my last unfound 'Date Placed' caches.
A good safe hide and very quiet too. A very good hide too.

Found by The Empire + H @ 12:30pm
Closing in on a milestone... this was find number 1,983. Love the container, I need to get me some of those! Thanks for the cache Fore!

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong. The log for this one is completely full so we left another piece of paper in the cache.

GPS had us all over the place but once we honed in on the right area I spotted it! Put a new small piece of paper in as the log was full.

A quick grab after a few minutes of spot the difference! Question: was it like that, or did you replace the original?

Good stuff, thanks for the cache.

knowing that this was a Fore! hide, i knew it wasn't as easy as under a bush or rocks...
Me and geodaughter searched for about 15mins, then i thought hang on! ....this is Fore!.....
then having a really good look at the surroundings and spotting something that was "just not quite right", we soon had the cache in hand...

Thanks Fore!, uv done it again!!

TFTC

Found on a run around Canberra with The Rats.

A trademark Fore! cache was soon spotted. Log book is pretty full. TFTC!

This was one a few caches Steeba and I found as we circulated around Canberra today.
Steeba soon spyed this one. Thanks

#509

Quick find with Zoratz, neat hide...

Thanks Fore! for the cache

Found it on our H'day.TFTC

This was the first find in quite a while. TFTC

Great day to go find some caches - so I did. TFTC

After a day at work we were in the mood for some evening caching. As we were in the area we thought we would start here. Miss Stormcatcher found this one quite quickly but it was a great hiding spot. Got a few mozzie bites so we quickly applied the repellent and moved onto the next cache. TFTC

Sneaky hide, although surprisingly didn't take us too long ... just had to the put the 'fore thinking hat on'. TFTC.

Good little hide, we stopped by whilst we were tracking down a clue for a multicache. TFTC. Log does need replacing though.

Sneaky! TFTC.
New log needed!

(1:16 PM) A quick find and once again today about 5 metres from where my GPS had me (which was in the middle of nowhere). Smeg! I forgot my pen again and this time I couldn't be bothered tramping back to the car to get it. Instead I put a little yellow and purple Nerf dart that I found at GZ in the cache as proof of my visit. I'll email with details of the hide if you need further proof.

Geokid spotted the anomaly within 2 minutes while I was looking in the wrong spot. She was right and I was embarrassed. Lovely workmanship on the hide.

Log is full

A quick find after a shopping expedition. Thanks Fore!

It's been a while since I have been caching and I felt a bit like a square peg in a round hole on the first few finds today, luckily I had some help or I might still be looking. I was distracted by an object that looked out of place and the better half found the cache easily while I was chasing a wild goose/ducks. A capped syringe was found nearby, this appears to have floated into the area and has been safely disposed of. Keep your eyes open for any more just in case.

Very nice hide

Found with benneyboy41(finder) took FBR Travel Express

nice hide tftc

found with acb1965

Another foray out this side of town to clear out some long unfound caches. With the GPS set for another cache, I spotted this as we approached, so we made a quick detour in here. There has certainly been some water rush through here recently - amazing! Left a small coin. Thanks Fore!

Nice hide! Kept trying to prise the rubber tops off the poles until i came to the right one TFTC

Nice hide. Easy accessible cache on my normal bike route. TFTC

A would be nice spot, except for the mozzies making life difficult. Nice evening cache to round off caching day, thank you

On my first caching adventure since recovering from Glandular Fever. A great day to be out and about. TFTC

Wow, the water from last week has certainly had an impact around here. the cache though, fore!tunately, remains very dry and secure. Found together with Unicornnikita and Little Blue Elephant. TFTC

Easy to spot when you know what to look for - completely innocent looking for anybody not being "initiated". I love Fore! caches!

TFTC - Fogg

Found with Rubai on a ride around.

We saw a cool miniature horse (pony?) tied to a tree nearby mowing the grass. Seems crazy that one would leave it there alone during the day, but it seemed fine. Also it smells bad where the cache is.

Thanks, Jezzza Xtreme

#510: First cache for the day on mine and JezzzaXtreme's bike ride to Lake BG
