Elmo Bungendore, New South Wales, Australia
By Puddle_Jumpers-PJ's on 27-Sep-10. Waypoint GC2FVKT

Having found this cache with a friend before I knew where to look. Now a registered geocacher myself I looked again. Not knowing that the cache is archived. Luckily for the little geocoin I rescued. The cache was still present but wet and very buried. The coin owner will be glad I came along.SL..

Nice quick find a bit damp but OK. TFTC Puddle Jumpers-PJ's

ha nice hide and thanks for the cache!

Time for this series to say good night - They have all managed to find their way home and thank you all for helping them on thier way!

Log a bit wet tftc

Nice quick find on my way to Canberra! Thanks for the cache =)
Left a GC

Easy find near the quilt show location. TFTC

Found it this time! TFTC

We had to reassure Elmo, he was scared. TFTC

Quick find. Log book is full so left a few sheets of paper TFTC

First one for the day. Cold & wet. TFTC

Grabbed this one on the way back from the coast. What a great idea to have a reason to stop and stretch the legs. TFTC

Quick find while out with GeoTeens. TFTC

An easy spot once I was looking at the right spot! TFTC Elmo!

After barking around the wrong tree first, came up with the goods and said hi to lil square Elmo. Exploring the pleasant village of Bungendore today in beautiful weather. xoxo

Spent far too long looking behind the wrong tree, even climbing the fence to see if Elmo was a climber.
When I got to the right tree, it was the 'doh' feeling.
Shoulda known......thanks again PJ's

A quick easy find but had to be stealthy as lots of people around, signed log and then had to wait for people to leave so we could return it. Thank you for a fun hide.

Before even reading the clues, was drawn to this cache as Elmo is my favourite muppet. Only as we recognised a similar clue inside to Baby Bear (an unknown character) did we realise we’d started the Sesame Street series. Now we’re on a mission to find them all. Found Elmo easily but maybe this container should be for Oscar, Baby Bear’s for Elmo and Grover’s for Baby Bear (find them all you'll know what I mean).

#14 Found while on a trip from Canberra to the coast. TFTC!

Quick and easy find, and muggle free thanks to the gale! Thanks for the cache Puddle Jumpers-PJ's

On a day out with PUddle Co and Count Duckula. TFTC

Another cache for our Bungendore trip out with Puk Ed and Count Duckula. This cache was in better condition than the others in this series so decided to squish in Scoodles the Mail truck to start his journey.

TFTC.

A quick escape from work, a quick cache, then off to the coast for a weekend away

Fed the need to cache on the way to the coast for the weekend! We'll be back for more....

Out on a caching run with Doppelfrog and geo daughter Lauren.

There was a really nice old Packard parked in from of the cache. GPS was going a bit crazy but Dopplefrog son came up with the goods.

Out on an epic caching run with Jmanjezza (and geokid Lauren).

Interesting time rummaging in the undergrowth to find this one, think the GPSr got a little confused.
We were also lucky enough to see an emaculate Packard 8 parked nearby. (e.g. http://diecastgarage.steves-services.com/1934_packard8_sedan.jpg )

TFTC

Stop by on the way to the coast. TFTC!

On our way home from ANZAC day celebrations in Canberra.Stopped in for a break and a look around the town. Found the cache without problems as it was out of its hiding hole. Signed log and returned it to where it should be. Had a bit of trouble getting it back as its hiding hole seems a bit small. TFTC

Looked in the right place twice but didn't see it til the third try. TFTC

Great hide, thanks Puddle_Jumpers-PJ's

Last day of my break, and as it was a Monday a traditional Bungendore trip. I am happy to say I managed to find it this time. I was not persistent last time. Thanks.

Lots of spider webs in here, gps never gave a decent reading so I may have been way off. Then a truck arrived so it was time to go. Albida.

Should always watch the road not the GPS, found quickly on our way to Cooma, Thanx for the cache

Couldn't find this one. It could possibly have been washed away with all the torentional ran the Bungendore has had.
Thanks for the hide.

Great find on Australia Day. Lots of spiders freaked me out when retrieving the cache! Took the NSW Geocaching 3 Sisters geocoin not realising that it had not been activated. Spent a few days searching for the owner, but no luck, so I activated it and sent it in its way to be enjoyed by all cachers in Australia. If someone knows who owns it, email me and i'll transfer ownership to them.

Great find on Australia Day. Lots of spiders! Took 3 Sisters gc TNLNTFTC

Ran into lots of spider webs on this one. TFTC

Found at 5.00.

Easy find.

Our 1st of the Seseme Street caches.
Unfortunately we did not realise we needed to collect a clue from each cache
to find the final Mystery Cache.

Took TB.
Left smiley eraser & a Geocoin (3 Sisters).(This Geocoin that we picked up previously
has not been activated)

Does anyone know how to activate someone elses geocoin?



TFTC

stop again for another break, TFTC

Took a bit of time to find this one (until we read the clue of course) and try not to look too suspicious given they breath-testing just down the road...TFTC!

Stop 2 on the mini invasion. It was after this one that the car was abandoned and we did the rest on foot, err feet, errrr except for Grover and Rubber Duckie which we had sailed past earlier.

I think Elmo is nearly everyone's favourite Sesame Street character - although I found him actually lurking in a latter cache. Another nice easy find & as Agent Basil said - we then decided that it was a lovely day for a walk & this proved far more enjoyable than hopping from cache to cache in the car. I'd highly recommend this approach to future finders. Dropped off a TB (Scorpio) that I had had for too long. TFTC PJs.

Found with Stacky68, Fee, Ewan and Aidan. TFTC

Found with Miki98, Ewan, Aidan and Fee. Small log so sign as S68 etc. Ewan takes honors.

Managed to spot this one while seaching with Mc Kenna. Lucky, as our GPSs seemed to want to contradict each other. Thanks.

A simple find with Trillian having the quicker eyes even Elmo fits in with the bears on kings highway.

I think everyone's had something to do with Sesame Street as they were growing up. Its great to see this series dotted all over Bungendore.
I had alot of fun collecting all the caches, it proved to be a good tourist guide as well.

This one took a little while and then I had to evade some muggles who had wandered into the deadend street.

Thanks

One of 43 caches found for the day, 31 December 2010, in a big run to get my 1000 GC caches for 2010. Phew, what a day, got to 1001 for 2010. Canberra, Cooma, Braidwood, Bungendore, Wamboin, Goulburn, Thanks everyone, some great spots too.

Found with O319 and JustJessie on a family day out.

Nice quick driveby on the way to Bateman's Bay.

Took TB, TFTC

Pick the right tree!

Made this one a lot harder than it needed to be. Looked in all the wrong spots missing the obvious. Went and got cookiemonster who lead me straight to the cache... (see picture) Lots of spiders and mozzies in there at the momment.

Picked the wrong one to look at first time round but I eventually got there, Thanks for the cache TNLN

Took a while to find but ok. The clue really helped. Nice series. Cool but scary hiding spot. A few muggles around but ok. Left 2c geocoin, took nothing. Thanks.[:o)]

We pass by this one on our way to work every week day but have only just managed to stop to collect this cache and its details. Easy find thanks, hope the 2 is what we think TFTC

found with csfamily on birthday run

Found on our caching birthday adventure and enjoyed the visit to Bungendore. TNLN TFTC.

Took a while for all the nearby muggle activity to settle down, A good search of the nearby 'jungle' eventualy produced a result.
TFTC

Ju looked and then we looked elsewhere. I then found it where Ju looked first [B)]. TFTC

Indeed my GPS was about 15 meters of as well and had me searching at the wrong tree. Once at the right tree I made a quick find.
TFTC Wilbert67

Took longer than it should have but I found it. TFTC

still there but no pen

nice and easy . thanks

Pulled up to this one and said oh no as the nearby shop was open and the carpark was busy. Got off the bike and started walking to gz. My gps wouldnt get any closer then 15 meters. I started my search and finally got it. The clue for this one has wiped off. Tho Im sure you can work it out TFTC

Quick find to start the SS run!

Managed to get the teenagers to actually look for a cache! Even if it was for Elmo (the evillest Sesame Street character known to man). After a bit of mis-direction it was finally spotted. TFTC and a good stretch of the legs.

Always fun to visit this area. This was a bit rainy today and I got to see what happens when a brand new motorcyclist on L plates decides to show off in the rain..

Our 4511th overall find. This was my 12th find of 137 total finds for our Canberra and surrounds caching spree with FarmerFrentzen

Found at about 2:03 PM. We found Elmo today, I had a fair idea where to park as I used to call on the business nearby. We quite enjoyed this series and it is good to see a few caches wing placed around town. We can remember traveling up for the first one ever placed from the South Coast.

Thanks to Puddle_Jumpers-PJ's for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found during a mini invasion of the ACT and its surrounds with Big Matt and Shell.

Another find in the Sesame Street series. This one was quickly claimed by Shell while I was focusing on the wrong tree.

TNLN and thanks Puddle Jumpers for the cache.

On my first official caching day with Mummy and Fitzy (they joined me up today). We're doing the Sesame Street series and leaving some of the characters in the caches (if they fit!).

Fitzy, myself and the geokid (who now has his own caching membership) headed off to complete the Sesame Street Series and a number of other caches around Bungendore and towards Goulburn. Great day to be out caching.
The geo kid brought a collection of 24 Sesame Street characters I collected for him when he was about 18 months old. He's placing them in the caches of the same name (if they fit). He's so excited!
Although, he's not too sure about giving up Elmo yet so we're keeping him for now!
TFTC!

2941 - Bungendore/Goulburn run to catch up on the newer caches around...

The 3 of us hit the Bungendore Sesame Street series to start with - this was the fourth and was probably the longest to find due to muggles - still obvious in the end - thanks Puddle_Jumpers-PJ's !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

A fairly quick find after geowife worked out the likely hiding place. TFTC

Found it and hoped the co-ordinate was correct, as difficult to read but commonsense would suggest which number would work, thanks.

This find was a little more difficult as GPS was pointing on the other side of the fence but thanks to Slowdad who eventually found it.
Also the Series clue is pretty much un-readable and probably needs some maint. to re-write etc.. we could just make it out but I suspect this won't last too much longer.
BTW enjoyed the series so far..
thanks

Found with slowdad and mtrax during a morning cache run along Sesame Street. Had a little trouble looking for this one. Three gps's had us pointing three different directions but slowdad managed to find Elmo. TFTC

Found with mtax and the psychodaughter 4th of 15 for the day TFTC

Hmmm.. after rounding up the rest of the SS crew, Elmo managed to elude me. The neighbourhood is very pretty though, so maybe he was visiting for a cuppa and a cookie?

TNLN TFTC

Found with aussiepuschaks on a big day of caching.
number 4 of 17 for the day.

Found by geomum and retrieved by long armed unicornnikita. A quick find and log. TFTC

What a pink and lovable fur ball most definitely my favorite character and a fitting find for
the final puzzle piece' TICKLE ME ELMO'..time for us human kind to go and get some lunch
before final stop for the gang at sesame street had a fun time with this....TFTC..PJ.....

Found with McWinDeLune7. TFTC

3673. [font=Comic Sans Ms][green]This one seemed to be a little bit off the mark but not too far. Maybe we all needed to recalibrate as we were now interstate. Lots of people around town today and McWindelune7 and FFP helped to swell the numbers, which of course meant some WD40 to extract them.

TFTC and the mole.[/green][font=Verdana]

Found by Sol de Lune when the rest of us were focussed on another tree. Thanks PJs.

2nd cache in town and 1st in the SS series. Grabbed the TB to move on.

Thanks PJ's.....we are off and running towards the final cache.

One two three, four five, six seven eight nine ten, eleven twelve, do de do doo doo duh do do..etc ONE!

This is my favourite memory of Sesame Street, the graphics and of course the vocals of the Pointer Sisters!

Go Pinball Countdown still fantastic 40 years later!

Oh the cache was fine too.

Evan though the gps was going skits I found it and left el homo. Ready and waiting to go up the coast.

TFTC

Another find in the series. TFTC.

Lots of tree cover and gps didn't know where to look.
Blue flipper came up with the find first while the rest of us were way off.

That's the last of the 10 for us so it was offf for the puzzle.

The tree coverage definately made this one a little tricker. Whilst I was try to work out wheter or not to dive under the trees or if we weer supposed to be around the other side of the block Blue Flipper went straight in for a quick find.

Last one in the series so we were off to find the secret location of the last cache!

Thanks,

TCG

Almost looked like it was in someones back yard but managed to find it in the end. Thanks.

Reperio at 1505. After getting back from Dubbo, saw that a new series of caches had popped out...so off I went. The coords for this one are well off, but luckily I had parked in the right spot, and checked an obvious spot before venturing much further and found it nicely tucked away.

Gratias.

Older Geoson found it! Well done.
SLTFTC

I'd be scared in there too!

I thought this one was going to get the better of me but found it in the end. Thanks.
