EZI AZ - A GRUFFPUPPY SPECIAL Langwarrin, Victoria, Australia
By shogun- (adopted by BendSinister) on 15-Jul-14. Waypoint GC41R0H

Oh well, this cache has finally disappeared entirely from GZ. It was fun while it lasted.

It has had a very extensive history of tampering and it's the cache I've checked on, repaired and reattached by far the greatest number of times. More times than log entries suggest, in case a serial saboteur was getting a thrill out of 'disabled' logs. It was quite a prominent box so it drew attention to itself, but I nonetheless suspect a geocaching insider was responsible for at least some of the hijinks. Maybe it's in their possession right now. Maybe that's why we can't have nice things!

Thanks to shogun for devising the slightly bonkers cache, and to gruffpuppy for providing the inspiration all those years ago, before I even signed up! Sorry that this is no longer tenable.

Thanks also to Brengun1 and Rickard Family for crucial intel this week.

Tb drop

Fun group of finds

A fairly low risk cache in terms of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. I'll put it back online now.

SARS-CoV-2 is increasingly widespread in Victoria. Please behave as though you are a potential carrier and restrict your travel to essential activities at this time.

Great hide, grandson was rapped

Way before covid shut down caching activities, I found this cache. Then my brain went into cachelog shutdown. Finally getting around to catching up.
I remember nothing about this find except that I dropped a tb.

If you like adventure, this one is for you! Almost had to crawl to Narnia and back but this cache paid off !

All good. A lovely job of the cache. The access from the centre road to the north is easier bush bashing. Tough for the first 20 metres, then fairly clear...

#2238 Yet another place caching has brought us to that we didn't know existed. Enjoyed reading the history of the place and a pleasant walk in the bush ..... until the bush bashing bit. We had a split decision in our team of 2 as to whether we'd risk the obvious danger in the bush of "very large aggressive worms". The female of the team won the day and we ventured in. Fortunately we didn't see any bitey things - except if you include a baby possum in a nest at eye hight (see photo). Thanks shogun/BendSinister for bringing us to yet another interesting site - one of the major reasons we enjoy caching so much. Also, we appreciate the time, effort and thought that goes into making a cache different to the norm, so thanks again.

Definitely not EZ-AS! we went extreme bush bashing to find it, it was worth it though! Will enter through here next time! (Photo)

Catnap777 & OZREG formed a team on 10 May 2020.
Logging FOUND Caches as individuals on approximately same dates since 07 July 2019, this
is one of those found Caches, and backdated as shown.

Drizzle at Big Foot turned to heavier drizzle here. Team Ozcat thanks CO and I thank my partner for showing me (Mr Stupid) the fine art of opening a bird box.

You know, when I found my partner Ozreg, And we forged "Team OZCAT", I thought, gee your a lucky girl Catnap, you found an engineer and he will help you nut out all the difficult to get to caches, so on, and etcetera. One could not have been so wrong; after mucking around with that lid for 5 minutes, cursing and remarking that there must be more of a trick to it, then finally giving up on it as the rain was tumbling down. I get up there, grab hold of the lid, and off it came! No trick, no fault in the mechanism of it at all. Something tells me, with most of the decisions I tend to make in my life, (I blame Aspergers Syndrome for this) I have made a bloody mistake again. LOL

OMG. the grass is so long.

Such a great area. Have lived in frankston for many years and just discovered this great area, and catching up on War history. TFTC

Braved snake territory to get this one. Well worth the effort. Thought the beady eye was a camera lens. Very good one.

Another genius cache. Found in the dark by torchlight. See not too dark. Down from Queensland to visit my parents.

I AM GUR

We made it to the trailhead and geomissus insisted there was no way on earth she was heading in. So I did the deed, through long grass and all. Fantastic location shogun. And a well constructed hide. I'm glad we stopped here on the way back home!

Cute! Such an amazing spot.

Found on the 10th of September with the Geokids while our for a bike ride. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely trail.

Would have to agree - favourite of the day and so cute!
Creative
TFTC

Out and about with geoson pimpmyballoons for a morning run. We enjoyed our walk through this new area for us. We made the walk but very wet under foot to come to this warm welcome. So very cute. Thanks for bringing us this area BendSinister

Favourite cache for the day this one is just well too cute! So much love went into the Construction of this cache had to give it a favourite Point!
TFTC

Was starting to feel grumpy-as - due to only having found one of three caches in the space of two hours - when the CO asked if I'd check on this cache since I was in the 'hood. Once I found my way to GZ I spotted the cool hide - and it cheered me up, just what I needed!
Thanks shogun-/BendSinister : )

Pretty obvious but hard to understand

Haha, very cool, spotted it from far away, easy find thanks

Great cache! Lots of fun finding it.

Great Cache!!!! TFTC

What a great cache!!!

Great cache

Oh super cute! Was a little scared at first in case there was something furry inside. Thanks!

Tftc

I have cleared this reserve once before and a couple of extras popped in a while back. Today was the day to clean up the extras. It was a bit scary by myself and being geographically challenged, I did wonder if I would find the right way out again.....but it was all worth it, and I didn't get lost in the bush. Fav point from me. TFTC

What a great hide, little fella poking his nose out is so cute. Thanks

What a cool cache! One of the best we’ve found. You definitely need the waypoint coords for access and to get back out again! TFTC

Find number 7234 at 3:01:21 pm
Headed down south a little today to grab some high favourite caches for the Cache Carnival souvenir challenge. Three caches and hopefully 100 points
A nice walk in the park, a great cache, all in all a magic afternoon.
**Thanks for placing this cache shogun- (adopted by BendSinister)**

Go Dogs! What a great little cache. And a wallaby nearby as a bonus

Great cache and a very happy looking doggie. TFTF

Nice

Absolutely love this cache. Very well constructed. A FP from us.
TFTC

Found it , last one today, that made 8. I was surprised by a little bush wallaby that jumped out of my way. Excellent cache, well played. Tftc

Got it thanks

Love this one. Thank you. Never seen a bird box before. Definitely something different. Out with h jaktembo

Thanks for the entry point provided, it would have been a hard bash to get through the Ti-tree. Gruffpuppy looks happy.

Had a look for the first time in a while--found the cache in rude health. Thanks recent finders!

Very clever cache. Waypoint really helped a lot!

Found the other day with geo gf and the nefs forgot to check it off:)

Haha kids didnt like the grass but we love a chach more haha great fun!

Came out for some night caching and had time to squeeze this one in. I love the spot and the kids really enjoyed making the find. Thanks heaps for the cache!

Nice easy one once I got to the gz
#4 for the day
TFTC

Nice hide kids loved it

I'd forgotten my hat today so had to be quick as the sun was out and it had some bite to it. The GPSr had guided me to a nice secluded spot to find an ominous looking cache. My second cache today where the cache had real character. Great effort. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

So cute! Love it. Tftc

Love it. Have seen a couple like this. 2nd find here for the day. SO TFTC!

Brilliant cache excellent for kids

A lot of time and effort gode into this one. Thank you for a fantastic find.

After ride the bike at Peninsula Link Trail with pwala
The weather was great for us today.
Found it
Thanks shogun

Out for a cache day on my bike with Crank1 in Frankston area. Beautiful day. Thanks BendSinister for bringing us here and the cute cache

Found with Legoman9x. The phone gps led us to a fair few metres away but the cache structure gave it away and we knew it would be there upon seeing it. Nice hide, tftc

Found with Winniethebear. Out in the area, we decided to grab some highly favourited caches within driving distance. It was odd, seeing such a straight path through a park and not seeing another person in sight, although it was nearing sunset. It was great to have an entrance point marked. The GPS pointed us into an odd area, but once it settled, we found the nicely built cache. So cute. TFTC.

#couttsfamily nice easy find

Rain delayed my return for several days (getting this one back into position is a slightly convoluted business, after all) but puppy is finally open for smileys again!

Very creative but sadly i couldn't get to logbook.

Now in my possession. Many thanks to Dvynanjl for the tip-off!

Pro-tip: if you find yourself using tools where no tool use has been recommended you're probably doing it wrong.

This is special, love the work, keep the good work up.

Found!

Out caching with one of the geo kiddies today and he got very excited when we found this one. it was also my favorite one for the day. Thanks for the cache.

#62

Another nice easy find with the kids on this cold windy day

Cute

Nice hide

Stunning spot. Totally worth the effort to get thru to it. Thanks for bringing us here and for the effort you've put into the cache.

Thanks for bringing us to this spot. Awesome find! TFTC!

Wandered down to GZ and was mightily impressed w ith what I saw. Deserves a favourite.

Find #3455. Found @ 14:26

I've been putting in a lot of extra hours at work to try and ensure my international project gets through to completion, but with extra hours comes the mythical 'time in lieu". I decided to make the myth and reality and take the day off. Rather than bumble around the house, I decided to take a walk in the park.

This was the eighth in my plotted route around the reserve. I managed to almost drag myself through the access point, but my backpack had other ideas about that. I had to crouch very low to get through, and whilst doing so, I found a plastic ring on the ground. Great, some extra swag to add to the cache.

I spotted the hide on arrival at GZ, but wasn't prepared for the magnificence, although seeing that it was made by shogun, I shouldn't be surprised. I dropped the ring into the cache. I also spotted that there was a trackable, so took that and left one that I grabbed last weekend.

Took trackable, left trackable, signed log and visited some other trackables.
Thanks for the cache BendSinister, a favourite point from me.

Great find. One of the best for kids and young at heart

Best hide we have seen kids loved it
Tftc

Quality pupper. Thanks!

Found on a lovely sunny day on a geocaching outing. This is a great hide - makes great use of the remote location. Let a TB puppy to keep the cache occupant company. TFTC

Nice cache. Easy fine for toeti81 second find. Starting to get the hang of it TFTC

This was one of the cutest finds I’ve found, love the big blue eyes. TFTC!!

Found the puppy, could not find the log book
Had no reception, so couldn’t see the clue.

GeoToddler's favourite to date. WOOF!

TFTH good hunt with 3 kids although the 3 year old wasn't keen to poke through the trees. The kids loved the beanie boo.

Took the little Slave 1 thanks to the star wars fan for leaving that and left a little hand clapper

This is a fantastic cache. Beautifully constructed and it did mke me smile. My nephews would really love this. Nice to see a cache guardian that is more on the friendly side than some i have seen recently. A FP duly awarded. TFTC!

Lizesz found it! Super cute idea.

Super cute cache. Glad this was the last one for our day ending on a high note. Such a great day out! TFTC

Glhf

Great cache and number 3 for me so far. Loved the hide and the not so gruff puppy! Thanks for the cache.

Ctheexplorer, Cathylm and myself decided to find the caches in this park. A great day was had.
Third find for the day and a cute and unique hide. Gets a favourite point from me.
Thanks for the fun

5th today.

Awwwww love it.
Also found a great pathtag in here.

Caching with lostcheq and Mocrin halfway around the globe from where we live. Searching for caches and exploring this grand country. Cache found. This cache was adorable. I might make one similar to it back home. Definitely a fave. TFTH

On a geo-trip from the US, we made the find today, with beautiful weather. Fun cache, gets a favorite! Great day to be a geocacher! Hello from Duluth, Minnesota!

TFTC Found today with Aix sponsa and Mocrin. Visiting from Northern Wisconsin, USA. Third day around the extended Melbourne area for caching before heading north to Sydney. Having a great visit.

I dont know why, but this cache creeped me out a bit! Completely irrational! LOL!
Thanks for putting in a heap of effort to making this one! I like the tree, I assume it has some historical significance.
TFTC!

In the area for the concert at the racecourse and got up early to find a couple before it starts.
The weather is a lot cooler today so it was a nice walk around here.
I did not know about the military camp so it was an interesting read as I wandered along the trails.
Got to GZ and spotted the hide and now what to do, so after looking at a couple of things I soon had the cache open and log retrieved.
A great little puppy staring out at you.
A favorite goes out to for the whole experience and for showing me the area.
Thanks shogun for the placement and BendSinister for taking it over TFTC

Tftc

A very clever cache.
Found whilst helping out with some maintenance in the area.
TFTC shogun-
Thanks for keeping this one going BendSinister.

What better way to fill in some time while waiting to pick up our GeoFriend from Frankston Hospital but to go for a walk and do some caching. This was our first find of the day, a great easy find and a favourite from us. TFTC and bringing us to this lovely park. TNLN

Having recently rewarded ourselves with a premium, what better way to celebrate this then to just "Go get 'em". Thanks to shogun for such a grand cache and tribute. And thanks to Bend sinister for looking after this cache.
