Rapidlywild's Views Casey, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Well it is VERY unfortunate that I have to do this however it is clear that a muggle has been targeting this cache as it has been stolen a number of times immediately after a new one has been placed. I really don't have any other option but to archive this cache (as much as I HATE to do it) but I wont keep placing caches here for them to be stolen. If the person who has been stealing the caches is reading this, then you should be totally ashamed of yourself for being a criminal on someone else's hobby.

So its goodbye to this one and future warning to others who place here, make it soooo hard for anyone to find because it will walk otherwise.

Oh Angel, I did reply to your email the moment I received it, please check your spam emails or your filters, but I definitely replied

Onto the next placement I guess [:p]

I didn't originally log this as a DNF as I emailed the CO instead indicating that I had another look but could not find it. Since I did not get a response, I figured I should be up front and say " Did Not Find"! Looked along the fence line, and climbed through the fence for another look - but could not come up with the little sucker. I will put a watch on this, so if others find it, I can come back for a 4th time!!!!

Listing updated, cache placed, enabling, good to go.

Right, seems the local muggles (possibly kids) have taken a liking to stealing my caches I place here so ive had no option but to downsize to a bison. I really prefer placing sistemas to allow for swaps however this is one of my original hide locations and I still really enjoy the views here. So a bison has been placed and I please ask that everyone use STEALTH and ensure there are no eyes watching the retrieval on this one. Cache on.

Hmm ill have to decide on what I am going to do with this one. Ill need to order some bisons I think

Had another look for this one with no luck. The GPS wanted me to head over the fence which seemed a bit odd, so I helped HypoHippo over the fence while I looked along the fence line. Nothing leaped out at us saying "here I am" unfortunately.

Gah! No luck on this one either, we ran out of daylight...thanks anyway...

Cache replaced for the last time. Slightly moved. If this goes AWOL again I will have no option but to archive. Please use stealth and cover well!

Back online. Let's see how long it lasts this time....

Cache replaced and moved

Looks like ANOTHER visit is required for this one. May need to relocate this one a little further along to throw the muggles off. Will attend to this one as soon as I can.

Found where it should be straight away including some plastic toys, but no cache...

This one had indeed gone walk abouts. Not sure if it's from the growing muggle population in the area or someone didn't cover correctly and the locals in the paddock. Ext door took it for a walk. It has been replaced with a new cache, please cover accordingly and watch out for muggles!!! This is a nice photo spot so use that as cover.

Didn't find it

I will swing past this one tonight to see whats happening with it

Did not find, but also had muggles hanging outside their homes opposite the GZ, so was disinclined to spend too much time stumbling around in the dark and risking suspicion....

Couldn't find it, will have to try again another time when there's not a group of people across the road watching my every step!

Nice easy find

Tough climb

Yes, a great view. A bit steep on the bike, but got there. Didn't realise I was so close to the main road.

Thanks

This was my first ever find, so good! Did this with my brother and sister

First find pretty

Footy card score

tftc

Another quick find while the sheep looked on. TFTC!

Last find on my way home from the puzzle night ... Nice relaxing views of the lights (I even walked up the hill a little bit more just to get a better look at one angle) ... and the weirdness of watching, and being watched by, sleeping sheep (well, I guess the ones watching were not asleep any more just perfect to top off a good night of dinner, meeting/catching up with other cachers, puzzles, and looking for/finding caches on the way to/from ... probably helped me wind down from the excitement of all the fun of puzzle night, a series of 4 entertaining caches along the road here, and finally finding that ... THING ... hidden just down the hill from here! LOL
TFTC - Nice easy find ... hidden where Muggles probably look straight at it but don't see anything - lol
... and I made it home B4 pumpkin O'clock (Midnight) ... Just (with seconds to spare - lol)
Took nothing, left a whole bunch of stickers/fridge magnets/etc (amazing how many of those I found in my recent sorting out ready to move house!)

Found it. Covered a bit more thoroughly as was a bit exposed.

Great find

Since I was in the neighbourhood I thought to clear up a few loose ends. This is a rapidly developing area - thankful nobody around today. Thanks again Rapidlywild

Nice spot, awesome views. TFTC

Today is another nice day, and it's Sunday. I'm feeling healthy, and the GeoSchnauzers are looking appealingly at me as I pack my Geocaching kit. C'mon, GeoSchnauzers!!! Today, I'm going out with the GeoDogs to the northside, to see if I can get to 600 this weekend. At the start of today, I'm on 580. This is number 12 of 16 we found today. . Great view!!! TFTC. The sad GeoMutts got left in the car. As a consequence, they gave me GBH of the earhole for my pains.

Soooo you sit and look into peoples houses? I think there's a law against that. Although having a meal while stalking makes it funnier

Yes there are some views and I think the workmen were admiring them too. And it looked like take the kids to work day as well. A quick find and then off again.

Thanks for the cache [Navy] Rapidlywild[/Navy] and the cut snake.[/Green][font=Verdana]

It is a nice spot but the view is disappearing rapidly. TDTC

Nice view during the day. Unfortunately it might get a bit built out soon. TN, left sticker sheets and pencil rubber. SL TFTC

I liked the view. ta.

Rode up the hills toward GZ. Someone was building a house nearby, but were on the non cache side. A couple of muggles were about the 'summit', so I rode past a giant pile of illegally dumped crud, then hoofed it up the hill. Had to wait out another pair of muggles slowly walking up the hill. I was surprised at the view, although when another 2 storey house goes up on the corner block, there won't be too many more views...

Stinky burning plastic smoke started to swoosh out from one of the half built houses. I think someone was burning off garbage, so I beat a retreat down to GZ, only to see the cache uncovered. SL, then added some rough camo (didn't want to hang around GZ too long).

Sheep!!!!!! BaaaaaaaaaaaAaahhhggggh h rd xfnjjfsc 8D

Quick find for us, Touring Canberra today in company of Baja15 and Wilbert67. Finding many interesting caches along the way. The weather seem to be holding out, little bit of rain but not enough to stop gaining smileys. TFTC
The views are good

On a caching hunt in Canberra with J+J.AU and Baja15. Lots of caches, lots of rain, lots of kangaroos and heaps of fun!
TFTC Wilbert67

The view here is fast becoming house roofs. Enjoying our caching visit with friends in the area and soon had this one on my found list. thanks to J+J.au and Wilbert67 for the fun. SL..TFTC

Quick Maintenance and Log Check on this one. All good Cache On

Easy onewhile out by myself.

An easy one for Geomum out by myself thisafternoon.

Nice find

First find

Great views at night for sure. We replaced the camo a bit better because it was in the open when we found it. Thanks!

good view of distant storm

Wow, I didn't realise how much development had spread in this part of the world - having just moved back into town on the south side, this completely amazed me. Nice to see though and I'm sure there are plenty of caches nearby, but as I had geopuppies in the back after taking them for a long walk, I didn't want to take too long so this was a perfect cache to do. Nice and quick, TFTC

The geokids and I were headed for the Dinosaur Museum nearby when we discovered we were half an hour early for opening. Oh well. What to do? Caches!

I was looking for anything with a big enough container for swaps as geobairn likes to swap toys - and the residential street was better than stopping on a main road.

The quick find was made, but no toys enticed geobairn to part with any from his stash.

TFTC!

Views are nice

A quick find with nice views in this newly developed suburb. TFTC Rapidlywild

# 6735 Found on a nice Spring day for a drive around the area.
The rain has gone and it's just perfect weather for caching.
Hardly any muggles around here today and another excellent view.
TN LN SL. Thanks for the cache Rapidlywild,
Roostaman.

Yes it is a great view from up here. Quick find with Justjessie on a glorious Spring after noon.

We decided to head over to this side of town to do some caching today. It was a good decision as it didn't rain over here. TFTC

Camo not hiding this cache very well signed log returned it with a little better camo TFTC

Our third find for the day as we go for our 500th find.

Quick pick up on house hunt trek with geofiance. TFTC.

Found on a morning hunt before work.

Some great views from here,

Thank RW for the hunt and the great location.

Wow!!! Very steep ride in on the single speed tonight.
Very quite area, only till the houses across the road get built.
Nice hide.
Many thanks

618. Nice find in a lesser known part of Canberra...thankfully the builders were to busy building to pay any attention to me!

TFTC Rapdilywild!

Found this one easily thanks - good for a geolearner!! lol... was good to see my niece was the last one before me to find... well done FrannyJ.

Loved the view at this one Canberra is so pretty especially at night

One of a number of caches found this afternoon. TFTC.

Easy find...this time! I tried to find it once before in the dark using a mapping system that had not caught up to the new streets. TFTC.

Last Cache for the day, quick find, nice spot

Night find with darzee di and geo niece. Braved the cold wind, but an easy find TFTC!

Quick find on our cache a day for August. Won't be long before this area is populated. TFTC.

Yay my 1400th find. Great views at night. Took the angel tb

A quick find on an early morning run. Cache was out in the open, but intact. Signed and re hidden, and TB dropped in. Tftc

Second attempt tried last night in dark too hard but beautiful views .... The this arvo found it got the coin to put in another one

Out for a morning cache run to pickup a few caches as the weather was too good to sit around the house today.

A quick grab on a quiet and pleasant morning with some nice views around here.

Thanks for the cache Rapidlywild.

great views and my first cache with treasure, saw the Canada alert coin, great coin. I am new to GC so will leave it there for others and until I know more about trackables.. tftc rapidlywild

This was the fourth find I made while cycling in the area on an eventful day. There are some nice views here but I doubt that they will last long as the houses get bigger. There is a lot of rubbish in the area but a good hide and a quick find. TFTC Rapidlywild!

Found with Wasptor, fraggle_rock and t-rex05. TFTC!

Found this cache with Wasptor and fraggle_rock. TFTC!

2013: 97 Days In A Row' - our first time in this suburb. Great view - but what a mess... Rubbish everywhere!!! The kids got a warning about touching anything as we wandered over to GZ. Quick find and then we were on our way. TFTC

Apart for the rubbish, a nice spot for a cache with the views to be had. TFTC!

Lovely view

easy find with a nice view! TFTC!

Found during a quick trip down to Canberra for the weekend with The Rats and steeba.

We had originally planned a trip up to the mid north coast of NSW however a severe rainfall event resulted in a last minute switch to the nation's capital and I must say it was great to be back!

Thanks Rapidlywild for the cache.

Found on a weekend run to Canberra with The Rats and FarmerFrentzen.

Certainly all the building rubbish has blown up here and been stuck on the fence. Nice views though. TFTC!

Headed down to Canberra over the weekend to grab a few caches with steeba and Farmerfrentzen. This was one of a few we got our hands on.

A nice easy find, but its a shame the wind blows all the rubbish up against the nearby fence.
Thanks

Great view TFTC

Needs a CITO! Great view tho. TFTC

The last time I was up here - looking for a cache - the place looked quite different. Found without any difficulty. Left Whereigo GC (I found my first Whereigo geocache while I had this coin, would have left it in that cache except I had left the coin at home).

Dropped a couple of trackables for the CO.

looked daunting at first fromthe roadway but not too hard a hike from where i parked, the cache further behind this though, dont think i'll do that until the dead of winter, way too far out there tftc

Decided to grab this one on the early pet run. A few local sheep were curious. Great views.
TFTC

Definitely some views. TFTC

1568. A quick find while out enjoying the cooler summer temps. TFTC.

first in this series. Getting around with out mapping takes me back to 2003 when I first started caching with a Yellow Etrex.

Quickly scored under the watchful eye of a baby magpie. Thanks for the cache.

An easy find. Hardest part was navigating all the new roads out here...Nice spot, thanks.

Found with Keswick Kid while on fire standby during the very very hot weather.

Took traceable.

Snuck into this one whilst there for other business!
TFTC

6084 + 750 = 6834. Found on a quick run around the area.

Despite the strange weather - quite hot but also windy and patches of rain (?) - I swung past and grabbed this one this afternoon. A quick find at GZ. Nice views for sure. Left a TB. Thanks again Rapidlywild !

TN Left TB - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Took my mum along for this adventure and I'm quietly sure she thought it was a bit of fun. Did a great swap and took in the fantastic views. Wonder how it will all look once the houses are finished?

Went for an afternoon of caching and this was the first. Easy find, plus swapped an army man for a toy hen lol . Great views and thanks for another great cache!

According to my gps I was in the middle of nowhere in my 2wd sedan. Cache found, nice views.

All these new suburbs out here. As a south sider...I'm starting to lose track of them all.

Thanks for this one....
