UP AND DOWN Mt Barker, South Australia, Australia
By CSavvy on 30-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3BQZX

Have to archive this one. Sorry!

A great cache but I found laying on the ground all rusty, will need replacing SL TFTC

Currently not available due to damage. Will replace when possible.

Found It!
I found the cache just hanging in the tree. The metal part of the "lift strap" had rusted through and broken off. Neat hide but it needs some repairs...

Mr Tardis stopped by here for a quick cache. I parked near GZ and followed the geotrail in. I must of had my mojo with me today - I saw the cache hiding place almost immediately and didn't fall for the decoy location.

I found a local retrieval tool and to my surprise worked out how the cache is attached. A great idea, I certainly haven't seen that before, a favourite point for originality.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache CSavvy.

Haha! Loved this find. Good job.

Cool hide. There was blood!

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo. We left our Cat safely tucked up in the caravan and set off to explore. We headed out today in a big loop that took us past Bugle Ranges and Wistow. Then through to Mt Barker for some essentials. The countryside is so green after the good rains and nice views.

Came across some roadworks on the back roads[xx(]

This cache as one that we chose to help us explore the area so thanks very much CSavvy
Loved the cache,,, Fav

TFTC, Regards from FelixII

Well this one made us giggle.
Be looking out at garage sale now.
TFTC. unique!
Fav point

Spotted after a little searching and retrieved it using a nearby tool. Thanks CSavvy.

We somehow managed to walk straight past it on our first check of GZ, being distracted by a more standard hiding spot, so it wasn't until I came around again for a second pass that I spotted it, and easily too! Retrieving it was made possible with a conveniently placed local tool, though still a stretch! And interesting type of hide, TFTC, CSavvy. =^.^=

TFTC! Awesome hide!

Spotted the cache fairly quickly and then soon had the cache in hand (thanks to Mrs TiedyeSmileys little bag of geocaching tools).

Found with Cats&Dragons as we left the Mount Barker area en-route to a day of caching with vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 before heading onto the Oz Mega. Having one of these back in Auckland meant we pretty quickly cottoned onto what was required.

Thanks!

Located in partnership with Slieskhe on our way to the OZ MEGA, soon located and off we were once again, nice placement and cammo job although at a stretch i managed to grab without the aid of a "Special Tool"

Thanks for the placement

not sure how hot it is today, but it's HOT! I'm (Mrs Marauder) burnt to a crisp from yesterday's trip to the beach so I'm having all sorts of trouble walking without looking like a duck and finding the tool for this cache proved quite funny & painful. but I found the cache itself with no problems. saw it as soon as I looked up actually. got there eventually. great cache and will give you another fav point. TFTC!!

Very well hidden and a great idea! Good work CSavvy! A very hot day today and I was pestered by prickles and grass seeds but managed to find it fairly quickly!TFTC!

TFTC. Very clever hide.
Found on a morning walk.

A very clever hide. We liked it and make it one of our favourites. TFTC

It took a while for us to find the tool feeling a bit like a tool ourselves . Eventually we had spotted the cache but still no tool! Finally came across the tool and retreived the cache with great difficulty. Great idea for a cache and a favourite .

This was a neat idea. Thankfully the Geohubby was with us, otherwise we may have been hunting high and low for a while.

TFTC.

Great original concept!!!
Seen many hide styles now, never seen one like this.
Definately a fav point, AND a nomination also!

Thanks

I wasn't sure I would measure up to this one.
Four of us in the car. Gee, 3 cars whizzed past in the first couple of minutes that we were here.
I decided to read back logs and got some good clues so knew in what general direction to look. Spotted the container, spotted the 'tool'.
Soon had cache in hand with much relief.
TFTC CSavvy ) Giving a Fav point for the effort put in. (Will file this away in the brain box for a possible plagiarism.)

Clever hide tftc

Nice hide! Tftc

Top cache! Found with Team Waldron on a wonderful Saturday morning of caching. TFTC.

Top hide.

Giving a rare favourite point.

What an awesome cache idea! Once you spot the obvious, then use the intended tool you will understand the ingenious of the hide. Tftc, left a pt.

Out for a day caching with Farmer--brown
Very good cameo and nice and creative really had us going and laughing

What a novel idea. It took a while to find the tool and the cache as I kept following the geotrail around in circles.

Thanks for the cache CSavvy.

Spotted the tool before we spotted the cache but it didn't take long to figure it all out. Absolutely loved this one - we've never seen a hide like this before. Definitely a favourite from us for this great idea. Thanks CSavvy.

Parked ab out 100 meters away and walked back found what was the most likerly spot a bit of a look nothing walked to where GPSr showed GZ then the cache guard showed up and the cache was seen what sort of tool gets that
it was hanging in nearby tree so cache was soon retreved log signed and cache replaced I thanked the guard and left always believed that possoms came out at night TFTC

Nearly gave up on this one until a penny dropped.
Gets a Fav. point from me today.
Caching with The X-trailers/
TFTC

Found while on a days caching with Earthlight
Almost gave up when the Light came on and we spotted it
Now how to get to it was the next question (used the hint)
Loved the idea for this one almost the favourite find of the day
Would you believe my maiden name was the same as this hide
Took trackables for a visit

A neat concept we'd seen before [^], but it took awhile for us to spot .
TNLNSL.
Thanks CSavvy.

After doing some jobs went for a bit of caching to find the mysterious cache.
Went round and round trying to find the right tree,
followed the instructions after reaching up to bring the cache down.
What a novel idea! Not been up this road before so enjoyed the mystery tour & the hunt.
Cheers CSavvy.

A quick find on my lunch break today. I've heard of this trick, but this is the first time I've come across it in the field. Nicely done. TFTC

It took me a while to find it. I love it. Excellent hide.

Thanks CSavvy for the cache.

Now that was a bit of fun [^] especially in the twilight light!
A great way to finish my day of hunting.
Cheers & TFTC.

Found on a day out caching with Witch of the South. For some reason we signed everything for the 5th, not the 4th. I have wornout a lot of these devices in the past. Nice one.

Thanks for the hide,
CSavvy

Found during a nice drive around the Hills. Very cleverly crafted cache, making for the easiest cache replacement ever. Thanks for the hide CSavvy!

A look up and down and had the cache soon in hand. Thanks for the fun!

TFTC

The light was fading, 4 teams and 5 people with 3 torches were all looking up and down. I dropped roguewatermelons torch and suddenly Brian from brisal5 had the cache, well he could see the cache.
It was up and down.

Out for more night caching with friends. With the rogue barking up the wrong tree I spied this very clever hide. My other half provided the tool required. TFTC

An appropriate name for this hide. Good to see you put some thought into this hide, and was it was appreciated.
Thanks

With the light fading fast I was racing against the clock with this one. Finally spotted it and with the help of the 'tool' grabbed the cache and was back on the road. TFTC

Great cache. Found it 1 metre out but thats all good. Thx CSavvy deserves a tick

Absolutely loved this one....Our fav so far!

tftc

I like this cache as a bit of thought went into it.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Very clever. A fun cache indeed.

Found when out with owstoners. Great cache-love it. Didn't use natural tool, used nanna's manmade one instead.

A nice find by the railway. Picked up pathtag and will relocate in UK next month.TFTC

A great little cache!!!!! Very creative...... thought about leaving a dozen big fishing sinkers but then rationality kicked in!!!! Thanks CSavvy for the hide!!!! Definate favourite!

****FTF**** WOOHOO!!! So it should be, being virtually in my back yard. Full marks to geo-wife who spotted the new notification on the outlook. Brought my own tool which made it easy. A clever construction that deserves a favourite point. Thanks CSavvy.

Bronze at 4pm. Nice camo. The name and spot on coords helped me find it more than the clue. TFTC csavvy

Found it!
Silver thanks to a very slick,
'Are we there yet' team...
Beaten by just over an hour.
Nice to have a different cache in the area,
Thanks for the well thought out hunt!
