Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Cache Ready to be replaced, just awaiting time to put it back will endeavor to get it back online in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your patience
Retrieved Cache to fix, May be a week or two.
Apologies for any inconvenience

My first cache find by myself,was quiet the adrenalin rush trying not to get caught out by any muggles passing through,took a little while but once I worked out the right spot the hiding position was obvious,nice one
Was expecting to have more difficulty finding this one. Can't quite work out why this little area is here? TFTC
With the help of Di's eyebrow tweezers I was able to find and sign.
It will need a new log soon.

Found with kimanddrew, we went at night time I didn't quite like walking there in the dark with just phone lights, we didn't sign the log though cause we couldn't get it out the container
found but couldnt even get log out to sign, even the geo tools were no help, tftc xx
An easy find today in another nice walk way we wouldn’t normally have found, if not for this great pastime of ours! Just managed to replace camo as muggle neighbour placed a ladder against his tree and suddenly appeared above the fence line. Carried on down the walk way in the afternoon sun and returned to a chorus of canines – every house must have a dog!! Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here. Log slightly damp, but still writeable.
Mr & Mrs M-SEZ went on a caching date today while the geo kids were in school. A quick, easy find. TFTC
Yes indeed I was happy to find this happy cache because it was my birthday.I even convinced my fellow geocacher to take a few pics of me here,tftc
Easy find on a sunny Sunday afternoon! Logsheet is wet and needs replacing. A more waterproof container would be advisable!
We came, we saw, we took a look, we left a stamp and went on our merry way.
Ps paper is nearly full and it's a bit wet

Found on the way running home. .... quite a secluded spot!
Added the "Seek3rs" sticker to the log and dated it.
TFTC Team Jansons!

Interesting spot. An avenue like this between houses in an older area would suggest it was a nightcart lane! These houses dont look old enough to have nigtcarts.... Pit it is not developed then the residents could look onto it from their yards, like new subdivisions seem to do.
Thanks
Thanks
On my way to find another cache I saw this one come up on the gps, so off I trott down the park way.. Spotted it quite quick.
TFTC and making my short outing worth while

Easy find. Didn't fill out the log because we had no pen with us. (May come back with a small pencil to leave here)
Night caching alone freaks me out! Nice little hide! TNLN TFTC. Couldn't sign coz I freaked out re hid the cache and ran! Lol nifty use of a ball!
Our first find for a while, a nice easy one and closest to home. TFTC.

Unusual container... strange what things end up as caches. Had no trouble in finding and signing this happy themed cache.

Looking after one of the geonieces for the afternoon, played with the animals, played cards, played Spot The... then decided a quick cache hunt was also in order before hometime. Found and opened the Cache of Happiness in quick time which left us with enough time for one more...much happiness! TFTC - left it well covered.
On a roll today needing 28 to 1900 we wanted the beach event at 1900 will make it at this rate. Tftcsl
Not the type of container I was expecting to see 
It made me smile when I opened it & I experienced happiness.
Thanks for the chance to locus cache, Team Jansons. SL.

Quick first find on a caching run during a lovely day out. I liked the urban camoflauge. TFTC
Quick stop off on my way home from work on our quest towards 2000.
cheers and thanks for the cache

A quick pick up after violin lessons for geo-daughter, we raced in, overshot the mark, doubled back and got the cache just like that. In retrospect I should have let her have a go looking for a while, but I was so excited to see the obvious poking out that I just grabbed it. Log is still a bit damp and tore as I unrolled it, but it was cross-ways rip, not lengthways.
Thanks Jansons.
Thanks Jansons.
Very sneaky hide. I was looking around for about 10mins before I opened my mind
On my way to my muggle friends place, decided to grab a few caches beforehand...easy find...clever hide. Thanks Team Jansons.
Found it out on another night adventure with Fair_Dinkum & Geo Noob #Mini Me - very clever hide
Found in the company of Cache_or_Check after the GSAK event nearby.
Him in Office clothes, me in High heels. Not exactly caching attire!
Great hide, had us fooled for a sec.

A couple of juicy huntsmen were about, much to MtnLioness' (my caching partner for the night) dismay. Luckily the cache was devoid of creepy crawlies though.
Nice hide team Jansons!

After two DNF's, it was good to get a find (and quickly too) 
.
Initially thought we were going into someones back yard as we walked into the park, so was pleasantly surprised to see the fences give way to the park behind the houses (you can tell this is an old area - that would never happen today)

TNLNSL. Let the damp log dry out while we prepared for the next cache.
Thanks for another one Team Jansons.

Returned home on the bus from a job interview in the city and decided I needed to find a cache -- the weather was nice and I was wanting some sunshine on my skin. Found the cache, logbook was damp but writable. (sorry for the late log, I've been horribly late on logging but am trying to catch up. found this one in Geosphere in my old iPhone) Thanks, Team Jansons!
Mrs TiedyeSmileys walked right past the cache jokingly thinking that's it. After a short unsuccessful search, she had worked her way back to it and looked more closely and sure enough, there it was.

After reading the description, this was a quick find, which was great - a cache I love, swooping magpies I do not.
After last nights rain, the log is very wet, and I _just_ scrapped my name. Thanks for another one Jansons!

My daughter had an orthodontic appointment this morning to remove her braces that have been on for 18 months (and cost us a fortune). Thay said come back in 1-1/4 hours, so there was enough time to look for a cache or two. Thanks for the cache, it is a novel construction. The log is a little damp.
Find 1327
Found BFE style without the GPS. (# 1200 BFE Style)
Believe me this cache is the Reel Thing.

This is a nice hide but geoD spotted it in no time.
The base of the container is broken so not sure how waterproof it is.

Coming back from the North, found I could easily access this enroute so stopped.
Luckily the council workers I noticed earlier had moved eastwards and so I parked the car strategically to allow me to go westwards unseen.
Was getting back reception so had a few GZs until I spotted something at one of them and wondered "is that it"[?]. I Zero'ed in and made the retrieval, signed the log and replaced and headed back to the car to find my drink was still cool.
Given my acronym at work, I guess I should consider myself a vessel of happiness.
TNLN, TFTC Team Jansons.
Cheers

I looked at the cache twice, but kept searching. Only when I stood back and had a think did it become obvious where it was. Nice hide, and a bronze for me. TFTC
EsromL and I were in the area this evening and made a minor diversion to find and open this cache for happiness and joint silver. Great cammo. Thanks Team Jansons for the cache.
Joint silver and happiness for me tonight. This one took a bit of finding in the dark. I really liked the cammo. A favorite point from me! Thanks Team Jansons.
FTF 3:53pm and even though I really should have been elsewhere this afternoon this cache was way too much fun. A very cleverly hidden cache which really suits the theme of this series. A very nifty one which definitely deserves a favourite point. Can't wait to try my luck with the rest of the series!
