Chess or Checkers? Jindera, New South Wales, Australia
By 3InOne on 17-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3B3BY

This one has gone missing a few times. Checked on it with an inspection camera and it looks like the latest solution seems to have failed and difficult to retrieve. Also the table has been scratched up. However, the lawn is still looking nice at the moment. Still a nice area to visit, and with another cache now over the road we will not continue with this one.

Chess or Checkers is missing. Needs to be replaced or archived

Looks like this one has gone missing AGAIN, as it shouldn't be that hard to find. Checked it only a few weeks ago and was okay, but not as well hidden as it could have been. Will remember to check one day as go past and see if it's worth replacing.

I searched everywhere and came up empty.

With 3 consecutive DNFs on a D1.0 cache, perhaps the CO might like to check that it is still here.

I enjoyed the village green, even without finding the cache. Thanks 3InOne for bringing me here.

Dnf

Disappointed to report that the cache is nowhere to be seen today. I have a feeling I know where it may have gone though.
In town for just a couple of days: greetings from Brisbane.

Found on the first night of daylight savings. TFTC.

TFTC

Finally got to this one after DNF when it had gone walkabout, today it was quiet at GZ and the prize was quickly found. TFTC

We have called at the conveniences here on a couple of occasions without realising the nearness of a fairly easy cache. A lovely little park and interesting village on a beautiful spring day. Thanks 3InOne.

Quick walk to the park from my house

Our GPS was a bit out on this one...

Did a Nanna and had a lovely cup of tea after fining this cache. Nice park

What a gorgeous day to be out and about. Sat at the chess & checker table to enjoy the sun and a cuppa after finding this one

Was in a good hiding place

Murray July 2014. A long weekend trip down to the Murray to explore and get some great caching dome. I was able to visit some great spots and get some very interesting caches on this trip. Thanks.

Found five around the township of Jindera today. A very pleasant morning. SL TFTC

did not have chess pieces but three of us sat around chatting and checking and soon had it in hand with out the group of muggles taking any notice. tftc.

Lucky there were not too many Muggles about... TFTC

Sort of FTF, first in this incarnation anyway. Only 1 muggle in park and she was on her phone, so Thornbill and I sneaked across and soon had this one - nice little hiding spot! TFTC

Hide adaption finally complete. Tried a few ideas to try to reduce risk of cache being muggled or going missing. Hopefully this solution works better.

Unarchiving cache.

Adaption to keep new container safe is finally complete. Ready to go out tomorrow.

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

After two containers have gone missing, we have decided to replace it slightly differently. Our first attempt at this new method was unsatisfactory, and are taking a new tack. Hopefully it will be up again soon for people to enjoy.

Looks like it may have gone AWOL. It shouldn't be that hard to find. Will organise a replacement and check on it next time we go that way.

Same as the last entry no luck for me today, had a good look, but a family of muggles turned to have lunch will have to try again another day. If possible can the CO have a check to see if still there please.

looked for quite a while but no luck today. Disappointing since all the logs indicate this to be an easy find.

What a beautiful park. TFTC

Good

Liked the hiding spot.

4:03:00 PM: (4 of 142) Find#4303
Weekend trip to Albury / Wodonga to ride the HCRT series, found on the drive down to Tallangatta from Canberra with Tankengine
A interesting looking bike nearby not sure if its meant to be here but back to the hunt, found quickly

Nice little table, but what is with that weird bike? Does it belong there? Found with mtrax on the way to the High Country Rail series.

Found with Indianagleeson and Captain T Russell.... Nice drive out here, beautiful area

Found this with Shellumbus and Captain.T.Russell.

Had a look through the museum which was great. Then decided to do some caches while we were here. Geo pop found this one.

A lovely little park in the middle of town. Had a chat with one of the council staff who look after these parks.

Find # 4956 on another run around Albury and Wodonga to collect a few more unfound caches.
Another nice cache and hide and then on the way again.

Found and logged at 11:00
A quick find on my way home from a trip around northern Victoria
nice little park to break the journey
Thanks 3InOne

Having collected some sustenance from nearby we continued our tour of Jindera and arrived at this marvellous space. All was quiet except for us cache seekers. The trees are beautiful and will provide some much-needed shade in years to come. It is very humid today and about 30°C, so it is back to the a/c'd geoHilux after SL at 11.04am. TFTC 3InOne #1325 Now we are off to Cemetery No. 3 in this little community.

# 2032. Robmc and I decided to visit some of the new caches placed in town and so found a few more on the journey. This was the first one in town and I was expecting something larger here. It was Rob who spotted the chess table and all was muggle-free today which made our search easier. Found and signed and off to the next one. TFTC 3InOne.

Just wandering around the area on a lazy Sunday with Bettyboo3747.
Just before lunch and I don't think I would like to play a game here, the sun was reflecting off the table!
An nice little park that will look even better when the trees grow up.
Thanks, Robmc.

(Found with ywurry and gonefishen07)

Nice easy find and a great place to stop for some refreshments. The amenities here were also well maintained. We couldn't stop for too long as we had places to see and caches to find.

TFTC!

P.S. Sorry for the late log!

with Gonefishen07 & Anderka.

Enjoyed this little town and the caches it has to offer (3 FTF for us here!)

TFTC!
Ywurry

PS sorry for late log - interwebs finally back on line..

Found with Anderka Ywurry and geochild after attending the event. We came this way to see if we could get a couple of FTF's. What a great little park. Wish I knew how to play this game could have made use of the table, actually the other probably would have left me behind as we had some caching to do and no time for playing chess or checkers. TFTC

easy find tftc

Took our own advice, grabbed a chicken & sat in the park to check on the new cache Short Circuit left as replacement. This is slightly better than ours. Thanks SC. Checked to see if we could recover the original from it's fate (no success) then went and played handball on the stage.

Quick find great area wanted to play chess but unable to because we couldn't find matching items for each side

Thanks Short Circuits for replacing cache for us. Might try to retrieve original sometime.

Great park - geokids did a concert in amphitheater - TFTC

Have replaced the original cache with a new container and log in its original location.

Found it with the geokiddies. Unfortunately them trying to put it back has resulted in it being temporarily unavailable. Will log a maintenance issue. Apologies to potential cachers.

Due to geokiddies attempting to replace the cache it is now currently unavailable. Will attempt to replace in the next few days.

We parked over the road from the park where this one was located and walked towards GZ to find a few people sitting there so we sat on a nearby bench and waited for them to leave. Upon retrieving the log we found it had already been signed that morning, were we waiting for other geocachers to clear out for us?

A nice easy find. A nice little park in town. TFTC

After reading that there was a BBQ near the cache, we made a stop at the local IGA for sausages, bread and tomato sauce and set off for the GZ. Before the impromptu barbeue could begin we had to find the cache. Mr. Lost Wanderer made the find. Thanks for bringing us here 3InOne.

#2918 We didn't expect to be caching today so we certainly found ourselves short for this cache - no picnic nor checker set. However the weather probably wasn't too conducive for picnicing nor lingering in the outdoors for too long - the wind was a little lazy and felt like it was coming straight off the snow. It is probably the reason why this lovely little park was deserted when we arrived today - The GeoPrincess chose to remain in the warmth of the car. Noticed that another caching team had been through earlier in the day, their name wasn't familiar to us. Thanks again 3InOne for a nicely tucked away cache which is not likely to be muggled anytime soon [^] but it has inspired us to drag out the checker board again

nice quick find TFTC

The last find for the day, a quick straight forward find, just as we like em for the last one for the day.
The cache is in good condition and all is okay.
Thanks for the neat cache and thanks for showing us this neat park.

Took the Albury based geograndkids out to find a couple of caches. Younger of the two was very excited to find this one for me. SL TFTC here but we didn't bring the chess pieces or the checkers! cloudglider

Since i grew up here so much has changed this spot used to be an old house with a million chicken coops Tftc sl

Found on a beautiful sunny Saturday With DazRascal.

Nanny had taken the GeoKids to the footy so we took the chance to go for a quick dash on the motorbikes.
First stop was here after some dodgy navigation! Definately need a GPS holder for the bike!
A quick find was made by DR!
No chess or checkers today, but a nice idea for a table in such a beautiful park!
Many thanks for the cache! TNLN SL.

Out and about today on an unplanned ride.
Never stopped at this park before, like the idea of the table, could picture myself sitting here having a game on a sunny Sunday morning.

TFTC, Cheers.

Quick drive by in the area for work. TFTC. Coords spot on.

#580 on day 165 of continuous caching this was a great cache as the location provided the necessary facilities that I required at the time to be able to have a reason to stop and cache was just the bonus I needed whilst heading to albury after working in the middle of woop woop for another easy find and on approach to the rest facilities I realised the location that the cache would be in owing to the name and was correct and had the cache in a matter of seconds.

Thanks 3InOne for another great spot.

4623 + 530 = 5153. Found during OZ MEGA Albury Wodonga 2012 !

Heading home but I couldn't resist a small detour for a few more! A nice simple quick find - a few muggles around but they were not interested in me. Thanks 3InOne !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Another cache found with Just a cacher during the OZ Mega at Albury. A quick find after a short walk. No time for Chess or Checkers today.

Thanks for the cache 3InOne.

Found with Black Bunny on our OzMega odyssey. Candy Cane 101 accompanied us on the trip, but didn't show a lot of enthusiasm for caches - there was a lad within hailing distance. I had a few back problems related to the camp bed, I think, so I missed a few, too.

Found with e.gregory1 while at the Oz Mega Event. Cool table. TFTC

If we had of had time a game would have been great in the sunshine this morning. Cache was our priority though, so it was found, and along to the next one. Thanks 3InOne.

A quick find while in the area for the Oz Mega event. Thaw 3InOne for the cache.

A nice quick find on a vist to Oz Mega and friends in Rand.

A quick find here on our circuit around Albury with SUlly1.
Thanks 3InOne for this well-placed hide, nice park

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

The morning was starting to warm up as Kaisho53, Gaz'n'Kab and I arrived at this one. It was a cool start for us Brisbanites so we were glad to see the sun I can tell you... [^]

We found a convenient parking spot near GZ and moved in for the hunt. The GPS took us to a likely spot and we took a seat to reflect on why we were in location... With a couple of hands screening the likely area, the cache was found quickly. We got business sorted and on realising the playing pieces were not provided, we figured a game was out of the question and pressed on to the next...

Cheers 3InOne.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 1:20pm. This was a cache found while attending the OZ Mega Event in Albury. The cache was found quickly and in good order. Nobody about at this time. TFTC

We pulled up relatively close to GZ and piled out of the car along with Gunnie69 and kaisho53 and made our way to GZ. It was quite funny once we arrived we all started looking for the cache rather than sitting.

Another quick find in this nice park this morning (starting to warm up a bit now compared to an hour or os ago)..

Well as numbers is the gamne today we didn't stop to play but soon had log signed and headed out..

Thanks 3InOne

Found by Mary & David at 1540. A lovely little park with stunning crepe myrtles in flower. A nice quick find, so on to the next one. Our thanks to 3InOne.

Found at 1540 while attending the Mega Event

We didn’t play a game, but had an afternoon cuppa including cheese and crackers while signing the log, thanks.

Quick find - nice cache name. TFTC

[:(!] On the way to my geosons place of employment (night shift) we made a slight detour to pick this cache up, parked the geocar close to GZ and from there we walked to GZ, on arrival my geoson had the cache in hand within minutes. SL TFTC/TFTH

Nice place to relax and have a break! Found with the Macca clan - TFTC!

A quick find though we should have brought the chess set! Nice table.

Found while out caching with MrMeccano, Just a Trifle, lochb and OziBags.

TFTC 3InOne

We were in the company of lochb, Ozibags, GhostGums and MrMeccano for a day of caching while attending the Oz Mega Event in Albury. It didn't take us long to locate the cache and sign the log. Thanks for the cache 3 In One

One muggle n the park but wer able to search for the cache without attractig undue attention. Lovely crepe myrtles in flower in the park. TFTC 3InOne

We are in the area for the Ozmega & decided to travel further out of town for a look around and a spot if caching. TFTC.

Reperio at 1645.

Took a little detour today from Albury to visit this one, and immediately I thought of chess...not checkers. Not much of a player...but definitely respect and enjoy the game of chess over checkers. No one around at GZ, so the cache was quickly located.

Gratias 3InOne.

Check-mate.
I found it.

1966 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1430.We had this cache and others on a list to do last weekend,but alas with very heavy rain and floods for the second time in 18 months it just didn't happen.On the way home from picking up our new caravan from one of the MEGA sponsors today with bright sunshine just why wouldn't you stop foe a look.SL Tnx 3inOne.

On an unplanned caching arvo we stopped in Jindera to grab this one. A nice quick find on a sunny sunday arvo. The park was empty so the log was signed and we were on our way.
Thanks 3inOne.

One of 10 for the day on the way over to Albury for Skullracing's Leap Of Faith event. Had the 5yo twins (James and Jemma) with me on a wet and wild day.

Still raining, but I didnt let that stop me. Kids out of car, and found the required object and then the cache. This was great. I play chess, usually against the computer, beat it sometimes too. Toc needs some of these tables, I will write the council. TFTC, favorite point awarded, nice park and cache subject.

A great little park that looks real asset to the community. A quick drive-by for us as hunger is driving us home. TFTC

Found quicky with Troobloo and Purpledreamer. SL TNLN T4TC

Never been to this little town before,lovely park here.The cache was found quickly without problem with Coruze and Troobloo,we all took a seat around the table as we signed the log.
