Out and about in the Wagga area today grabbing a few caches and this was one of them.

After parking nearby it was a short stroll to GZ where the cache was soon in hand.

Another great day of caching in Wagga Wagga and Junee. I stopped to log this find. Thanks for the cache.

Good location

15:18
This cache is in need of owner attention. It needs to be temporarily disabled by the owner until they have an opportunity to check on the cache and take whatever action is necessary.

Suscoe headed out this afternoon with the Phetlern team for a delightful afternoon of caching around Wagga Wagga.
We had a terrific time finding some interesting caches in some interesting locations.
So many town caches around this city.
Thanks to joelisa for this hide, shame about the field puzzle.
A bit of step watching as someone or something has left a large deposit nearby.

15:18
A leisurely afternoon in and around the city, with Suscoe, in an effort to convert some of the many green boxes to smiley tokens on our geo-map.
We have enjoyed these puzzles before, but sadly this one has been wrecked; either by a muggle or a very frustrated cacher. The log is there but the fun has gone!

Thanks Joelisa for placing this cache.

Shame that cache holder has been pulled apart. Would have liked to have worked it out. TFTC

Ice is broken, but the cache is good. TFTC

Good find while holidaying around the area today.
Had a great time going from cache to cache.
*Thanks for the fun!*

NOTE: Someone has forced the container and it is heavily damaged.
NEEDS FIXING.

TFTC. To find the actual cache container was a piece of cake. Being Easter Monday, it was also relatively quiet. Linda cracked the method to open the container in quick time. Thanks for the brain challenge on a holiday Monday.

MrsG and IceCubes will never be friends ..........she even has other names for this cache, like . . . . . . Headache . . . . Frustration . . . . . Over it . . . . . It won't help but cry anyway . . . . .
BUT ............................. MrG had got himself comfortable and was patiently puzzling away. [^]

We remember our first encounter with an IceCube. It had been squashed flat when a grader had dozed out it's hide and the logbook was enjoying freedom (as did we enjoy this stroke of luck!). But enough happy reminisces, after an earlier puzzling setback somehow involving fingers in wrong places, we were on the verge of getting the logbook. A wonderful feeling to get our name in another IceCube, MrsG could almost feel a fondness for them. Nah! just kidding.
TFTC Joelisa

Had to take a few people over to Wagga and I had some free time. Why not go and get a cache or 2.
I have solved some of these before so I very quickly solved, signed and replaced the cache. TFTC
P.S. The puzzle container is still in good working condition.

Visited area for medical reasons and had time to kill so with help from Polliwogs grabbed this one. Took a few minutes to open inner container but got it in the end. TFTC SL TNLN Cheers 4 Now

A nice quick find this afternoon before heading down to Albury. I have come across a few of these ice cubes before and I retreated to the geo-mobile to work on the puzzle. After a few goes I had everything in the right position and had it opened to extract the log and sign. Replaced it back in its cool hide. TNLN thanks.

Found the yeast then the cache. Just after dusk, the mozzies almost carried me away. TFTC.

Cache container appears to be damaged, but signed log regardless. TFTC

Awesome idea, pity the cache doesn't work as it originally did.
Great to see a decent sized cache in Wagga, no trackables to be found unfortunately.

Tftc

Good find for kids

thanks for the find . nice and quick find
then the fun started

Ahhhhh nice one, cache container took no time at all, getting it out however..........TFTC

found outer container but try as I might I couldn't get it open might try again sometime . Cheers 4 Now

found cache very quickly but retrieving the cache took a bit longer. we took the container back to our geo bus and superpops spent almost 20 minutes playing with it then decided to give up in disgust. I took over and had the log signed in a couple of minutes. WOMEN RULE. I am still laughing. thanks for a great hide.

We had spent the weekend camping at Naranderra and decided to take the long way home. We found a nice park in town and cooked up some lunch. While eating we had a look at some nearby caches with higher favorite points that we get find for our 2000th find, we decided on this one.
At GZ we found the container straight away then retreated to our car to try and work out how to retrieve the log book. We both gave it a good go and eventually it was Mrs Jacko who managed to get to it.
TFTC.

Love the puzzle tftc

Found it a few weeks ago but the puzzle is very hard, so because I didn't have much time I will have to come back and try again . Tftc anyway!

Came to Wagga to attend an event, so making a weekend of it. There were no muggles about so decided to grab this one but one I got my hands on container, took me longer to get my hands on the log to sign.
Thanks Joelisa for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Easy

TFTC! This was great fun! Found with 3inOne, Lachstein and Enigmatic-Lucidity.

Found it! Found with 3InOne, moonshadow98 and Enigmatic-lucidity. Tftc.

This is the first one of these we have seen! Extremely frustrating but heaps of fun! Indianagleeson finally got it right and we signed the log and replaced! Tftc!!

TFTC!
That was a lot of fun!
Found with Shellumbus.

What a challenge. Tftc

On the road with 88andy88 on a 3-week road trip from Melb to Surfers and back. Today is our second last day and we're heading to Wagga Wagga.
I'm usually the one who gets into ones like this, but this time it was 88 who spent the time figuring it out while I sat back and smiled

Continuing on our Trip from Melbourne to Queensland and back to Melbourne and still on the Southerly direction sadly, OzHockeyCHick and i were heading to Wagga Wagga grabbing all the interesting caches we could including some for dates and some for D/T's ......
Getting dark and we were settled into the town for the night and we thought will just grab this one and bingo within seconds found the hide....I thought ohh how easy until the twist came about....
Going on Warren's log the twist was buggered but it wasn't for me i tell you....In the dark and going nuts with flys it took me frigging 15 to 20 minutes .....The damn thing did not want to play the game and when i finally solved the problem it was all a great laugh....
Although i have seen these before this was still fun....
TFTC

Our third find for the night. Found the cache quite easily but then had to work the puzzle out. Several tries and a broken nail later, we had it open! Left a bug inside for the next cachers to find. Happy New Year! Tftc.

Reperio at 1220.

Given how hot is was today, I figured a little icecube was in order, so stopped by here. I had a fair idea what would be waiting, and sure enough, it was just as I had suspected. Having found a number of these containers, it only takes a couple of minutes to open, but this one was more in the ball park of 5-10 secs as the mechanism that keeps it functioning as a self locking container is broken. If it is to be as challenging as it once was it will need to be replaced. Always enjoy finding a novelty container.

Gratias Joelisa.

In town for a R&D workshop.
Rang Farmers Five for some recommended caches to find on my way. A few of F5 team were out for a drive so met up with them at this cache. While chatting up with a chat things fell on to place and the cache was open and log signed.
TFTC - Great container.

Went to check on cache today and it is in completely fine order. Someone had just stuffed a trackable into the cube. Please do not do this. It ruins the fun for others. I took the bug and replaced the lid. Good to go!! Happy caching!!

On my way home to Sydney from having dinner in Hay with my brother who met me there from Adelaide. This was a nice easy find and I'm afraid the ice cube has melted as I had no problems extracting the log. SL #2203 on streak day #1174 TFTC dropped a TB

Stopped in the near by 'grass' to eat lunch - it's not exactly intended as a rest area but geo baby had been grumpy and it was time to let him out.. Hubby took the geokids over to GZ and found the cache. SL and piled back into the car on our journey to attend my sisters wedding in Broken Hill. TFTC

Easy find Ty

Easy find

Found this guy while passing through town and as all was quiet in the area it was a quick find but I think something was not right with the container as I just picked the log out signed and I was on my way.
Maybe time for some TLC the next time the owner is in the area.
Thanks Ioelisa for showing me the area.

Love it.. Quick find with Justjessie on the way back to Canberra from Camron Corner...

Found with O319. TFTC

It was weekend, so the area was muggle free
Lot's of trailers parked along the street to nowhere though [:o]
So I poked around for any signs of a cache

A likely spot presented itself, but turned out to be empty
I kept poking ...
.... nothing anywhere
I went back to the most likely place for a closer look.

Oh you idiot "If' !!
How did you miss that ??

OK !! Cache in paw, I had to unfreeze it to get the logbook.

Good job I wasn't in a hurry
And another 20 minutes later, I finally got the bugger out !! [:o]

TFTC, and some fun [^]

GZ quickly found but recovering the cache and log took a little longer. Cache all good. Gets A Fav from us.

Not sure if I unlocked it or it already was unlocked. Happy nonetheless.

Wow, awesome field puzzle. I did the cache at night so took it to my car to work out. TFTC.

Found by Mary & David at 1620. We've seen similar devices in caches before. Thankfully the engineer figured it out. Most appropriate name too. Our thanks to Joelisa.

This was my first time to see like this but it was unfortunately for us because we didn't have enough time to do this and we couldn't concentrated on it so we moved on to another caches before back to Sydney. I like this so hopefully to come back here one day.

Damn unfortunately we could not open the cache for about 30 mins so we have to move on next cache thanks for bringing us here

Out early today to get a few caches in the cool of the morning before having to retreat to our airconditioned caravan as the termperatures rise in the afternoon. These caches around Wagga gave a great chance to have a look around and to marvel on the creativity of some of the hides. Fav point alloc. Thanks to Joelisa for placing this cache.

Kids loved this one. TFTC!

Easy find. Not so easy to open.

Found it. Brilliant cache. Funny... One minute to find it and 10 minutes to get it open. Hehe.

Well done owner, clever way to annoy people

Last time we visited this cache had been muggled, glad to be able to return to the area as this was worth a second attempt. Also picked up a TB which added to the pleasure. tftc

Quite an easy find

Great find. The kids loved the puzzle!

What a great idea - might even pinch the concept for one of our hides! The rain is coming down heavier now so we retreated to the geoCruiser to examine the contents. This is find 25 for us today and what a beauty with the bonus of a TB. SL at 11.20am Took: TB Left: TB #2445 TFTC Joelisa Time for a coffee now.

Oh no ... not that again..
I've done that before somewhere..
Take me for ever to grab a log..
almost run out of my patience.
Thanks for the cache.

Pretty easy as it hadn't been reset and fell open

Found while on a great Caching expedition to Wagga Wagga with the WEEO, first time I have been exhausted by caching! We both liked this cache (sorry for the late log). TFTC

Just had a great Caching experience with the Newberys caching the RGGT trail with the Newberys. We ejoyed it so much we just kept going to do these local caches. TFTC TNLN. I enjoyed the puzzel but must admit I have seen it before but it is still great well done.

Awsome cube guys. Loved the challenge.

I love this, where can I buy one?
One minute to find, about 10 to get in haha. My fave cache so far. Cheers for the awesome cache!!

Gotcha Tftc good one

Wow!!!!!awesome cache

Tftc

Sdont do this when ur hangry. Or in a hurry.
Credit to Pezzinni for mastering the box, a true box master, indeed.

Found on a run to Wagga and back with Hoojar (aka H&S).

This one wasn't on our list but driving past we decided to stop in. Little did we know this required some work before the log was in hand. TFTC!

Found during a twenty four hour caching trip with Steeba. We had headed into the Riverina, aiming to complete the Riverina Geocaching Geotriad Tribute Power Trail in Wagga Wagga (I have found one cache of the Triad, Geocaching HQ) and the Endangered Species Power Trail in Bookham, whilst also collecting the odd cache or two along the way. This was one of many cache finds across a 24 hour period; I hope that you will forgive the generic log. We signed many cache logs over the course of a travels as "H & S."

We took about 2.5 hours for the Riverina Geocaching Geotriad Power Trail on Friday night, and 3.5 hours for the Endangered Species Power Trail on Saturday morning. Pretty good times we thought. We immensely enjoyed our trip, and thank all of the cache hiders for their efforts.

Quick find, not too long to open either... these ones can be a nightmare at times.

Cheers

Found this one after an afternoon of hunting with bo success and geophone died before we got to log! Geodaughter had fun solvin this one!

Found on our Wagga Wagga trip. I have seen so many of these back in Canberra. You would think that by now I've had enough of them - but boy you would be wrong. I absolutely love completing these over and over again. A lot of truck carriadges parked next to GZ today, but luckily there was no one around. Quickly found the cache and took it out of the rain and into the car, where I sat there for a few minutes getting the log. It was half completed the first time, but once I got to the end, I accidentally reset it! Luckily, it only took another few minutes to do it again. TFTC Joelisa!

Found on a caching weekend with Mr Roo. Found, solved and logged.

6228 Found with Captain Tomato while in Wagga for the weekend doing the RGGT PT and a few other caches. Got to this one and Vaptain Tomato made the find and went oh no! I laughed as he worked out how to get the log out. Took him about 10 minutes. Last for the day before heading to the club for dinner and then setting up camp TFTC

Good hide and puzzle

Found it. Not quit as hard as we thought it was going to be when we opened the box,

Thanks

This was the cache of the day. We never expected one like this. We really enjoyed this cache. We haven't done one of these before but we got log in hand after a short time. We were staying in Wagga for a few days and doing a few of the caches here. A favourite from us.
SL TNLN TFTC

Tftc. I love these, so does Xela, she never lets me do these ones.

Now I get it! A quick open as I think may be broken. Great idea. Tftc

Nice cache. Whole family had a go before we got it. Thanks.

Came through at Christmas but didn't have time to solve this one so looked forward to having another go on this trip. Got to GZ to find the puzzle open so no solving to do! Closed it and think I left some stickers nearby. Thanks for the great cache, a fav point from me.

Have seen this style before as happen twice in Perth... but need the maintenance urgent... Signed the log. Thanks Joelisa

[:(!] In Wagga for the week and grabbed a few caches and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Like others before us to this cache, we've seen these puzzle containers before and enjoyed struggling with the challenge! I think this one might be damaged because we opened it without doing the whole business, and after signing I wasn't able to make it lock the way it should. It is closed, but will open easily again. You might want to check on this. Anyway, a find after several DNFs, so we aren't complaining thanks Joelisa.

Enjoyed drive on the way to Cootamundra for a day, via stop some caches on highway... Got it as open [:0] hate it, (sigh) long long work out for 30 mins, YAY FINALLY open PHEW, good one cache... sign in .. Thanks Joielisa

A quick find but took a lot longer to get into, a real surprise, tftc
