Mel Baker or Alf Smedley? Glenelg East, South Australia, Australia
By Woolly_ on 20-May-12. Waypoint GC3KRGQ

Can't find a new suitable location nearby Time to say goodbye to this hide.

had a good look but no luck for us today

disabled.

Previous logs mention vegetation. All vegetation has all gone as probably the cache as well - even looked over the fence

Gpsr took us to where foliage used to be, but it appears to
be missing. Sorry Woolly, it may need to be checked.

Found it on my second attempt TFTC

Co-ords accurate but foliage made search a little trickier than necessary.

Muggles everywhere at the cache I wanted to find previously, rather than contending with them came on to this one which was luckily muggle free! found quickly, signed whilst on the seesaw. TFTC

We approached this one from the Alf end, there was no-one around today. We sat back and left the find to Byercat to have the fun. SL TFTC

Muff1 said lets go caching and this was the first of the day. Nice park and easy to guess where the little sucker was hiding. Thanks Woolly

My searching obviously made me suspicious to a passing police patrol car who came back for a second look at what I was doing. Moved on and will have to return another day.

This was an easy find.... after I got to GZ albeit not as easily as I should have done as the car GPS led me to the wrong location, and it appeared that I had to go through someones driveway to get to GZ.

Obviously, I did not walk up the driveway, but found a different way.

Approaching GZ and pretty much knew where it would be ... and it was.

Added Seek3rs sticker and date to the log.

TFTC Woolly

A nice easy find to kick off my day. TFTC

Got it in the end tftc

When we found this cache this afternoon, I was completely unaware that it would be my 300th. But it was and I'm pretty pumped to have made my next milestone. I brought a friend along and it was also her first cache...so two milestones in one It was a quite afternoon in this nice park and we made the short stroll and then the quick find. TFTC

TFTF

great day off work and a great day for some caching, great cache to finish the day, nice camo tftcxx

Found with kimanddrew TFTC

# 316 - Coors spot on, made for a nice quick find on a gorgeous Sunday servo in adelaide, tftc Wooly_

We came in from Augusta Street and fortunately all was quiet here this morning .
A nice little avenue of trees next to the pathway [^].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Wooly_.

Very pretty and quiet park. Being free of muggles enabled me to retrieve, sign and replace a cleverly hidden cache. Thanks woolly for the cache.

A quick find and sign in a muggle free park. Last time I came through here I had a run in with a muggle who's dog nearly knocked me off my bike. There was no chance of hanging around waiting for the muggle and her mutt to leave!

Thanks for the cache Wooly.

I have driven past this park for many years and didn't take notice of the names until now especially since I know Mel Baker. Nice to know his name is attached to a park. TFTC Woolly.

Nice quick find while caching with sxp, TFTC, TMJ

Found at 17:09. Wet shrubbery

It's good to find the nearby parks to home, thanks for getting us here! SL TNLN Thanks for the Hide!!

Added another pencil

A quick find during morning walk to tram. (Don't forgeet your pencil [:(!] ). No Muggles about thankfully.

Interesting! Maybe it is two parks, joined in the middle. Anyway, a very pleasant place to go for an early morning walk. Unable to sign log as no pencil in cache, and went walking unprepared. Thanks for bringing us here.

It's Mel Baker for me.
TNLNSL
Thanks

No muggles about today and a quick find for us!
SL @ 16.00, TNLN, T4TC

Mr Tardis was in the area and decided to pick up a few caches. It was absolutely pouring with rain, which made the find a little bit more challenging and wet.

Found after a minute or two of searching.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Woolly.

I had to wait a while till the muggles left. Found it on the way home after I watched my grandson playing Gridiron and his team won the grand final. Yay!

Thanks Woolly_ for the cache.

Well hidden. Forgot the pen, so couldn't sign the log.
TN, TFTC

Quick find in the bushes with Uncle Hagrid.

Approached from the Mel baker end for a quick find. Thanks Woolly for the hide.

26 finds and 3 DNFs in what turned out to be a great caching day with Tassieboy.

Left a calling card and die.

What ever the name it is a nice park.

TFTC

A few short drive by caches in the way to a few errands. CP Wanderer joined me in the find.

Found with Insada5161 TFTC

A fun quick one whilst visiting a friend for a coffee!!
Had to fix it up a little, hopefully it holds well now!

Today was a double day for us.

16th June was the day day on the grid to fill in and also we will make our 4000th find today.

Out for the day with Trail06.

We had a great day doing the Premiers series and a few others on the way out there.

Mission was accomplished and the grid is now completed.

I only entered 2 of the Premier puzzles incorrectly but Trail06 redid the puzzles while I drove and searched. We got them all in the end.

Another great series.

TFTC

Found during a caching raid in the western suburbs. Thanks for the cache Woolly!

Tftc found with hethdil

Quick find while little bellows played on the swings. Both signed the log and popped it back. The pencil has its point snapped off so bring your own pen, or a sharpener. tftc.

Easy find by hubby on our trip to Adelaide from Bathurst

Took a little shield and left some sticky tape

TFTC

Tons of mugglers. Stealth required tftc wooley

It was my turn to pay the rent today, happy it wasn't raining like the past few rent days, so I got on my bike and stopped half way to Glenelg to find this one. Nearly got caught by a muggle returning it. TFTC!

Found on a quick geocaching run on a Sunday afternoon in between showers. A good hide that provided for a quick find! TFTC.

Yes, confusing, which reserve.
Well the magnets as previous log were in one location, the cache in another.
Put the two back together and all's cool. TFTC

TFTC, kept an eye out for that recycled pal lol. All good.

Out for some more driving with Princess Consuela.
Had a spot to fill in on the grid today.
Found easily
TFTC Woolly

Dad needed a cache for the day so we popped down to Glenelg.
TFTC and funny park

Mel or Alf it doesnt matter, I found the cache. thanks Woolly.

A nice spot of reserve along here, not sure what it is trying to be. I spotted a likely location for GZ and parked the geo-bicycle (always good cover for search this kind of area), however it was not there. A wider search and I spotted a cleverly hidden, although sticking out! Thanks Woolly for another nice cache this morning.

After a lunch with friends stopped in to do this one. No one around this afternoon so made for easy find. TFTC.

Found some magnets attached to the fence and then a cache hanging in a bush. Stepped in a pile of recycled Pal. Interesting location.

Tape has fallen off the lid. Must have got wet in the rain. Watch your feet.

Removed for maintenance will replace soon

Another cache down under with EdwardEdwards. And so close to being the ftf. co-ordinates are bang on. Left nothing but took the tb. TFTC

Woke up nice and early this morning to find with Owainandleyla. Good hiding place. Took the TB
TFTC

Another park. This time a friend lives nearby. Thanks Woolly.

I had just found GDTA - Brighton when the new notification came through.
Back into the car and drove here, expecting to see others had been here already.
I did the locus cache thing and Woohoo! FTF
SL. Left a child's ring.
Put cache back and then thought: what a nice day to lay on the lawn and log today's caches.
Plus I got to watch the passing parade of cachers
eGregory, Astro, Easter Rabbits and Matthew. Nice to meet you all
TFTC Woolly and the rare FTF for me on this side of town

I was doing a few caches around West Beach when I saw this one published, so thought I'd head over that way when I'd finished. Did another four on the way and arrived to find locus cache stretched out on the lawns logging her caches and enjoying the sunshine. We were soon joined by Astro. Always nice to catch up with fellow cachers. Thanks Woollly for the hide.

Tied up once again at kids sport, but managed to get here in reasonable time. 4th to find at about 2.15 pm. Nice to meet you locus cache, hope you caught up on all your paperwork !

I was home moving some furniture around the place as you do. Bing! A new cache published and this time under 2 kays from Astro headquarters. I proceeded to move furniture around an casually proceed to GZ after about 30 mins. And just as well. Saved me hunting for the cache.... e.gregory and Locus were there and handed me the cache. Geez, what do you have to do these days? [^]

The question is "did Locus have a wet spot when she stood up"?

That grass she was lying on was very damp!!

Clear skies - a beautiful day.

PS, Mel in my books.

Published

Fifth to find at 1425

We were caching in Belair when the notification came through. I knew we probably wouldn't be first, but would get to meet some other cachers. As we approached, locus cache directed us straight to it.
