Container completely rusted shut. Poor spot without waterproofing

First for the day and it's always good to start with a find Big Grin.
Scratched around for awhile before the cache was reavealed Wink.
TNLNSL.
A bit of rain will see this cache reduced to mush Red Face, so it really needs waterproofing.
Thanks Under where.

Nice and ease but a little wet
 
09-May-15
A bit hard to dislodge from its hiding spot and to passing muggles it must have looked funny to have someone kneeling down getting close up to the cache. A memorable 400th find for us. TFTC.

Nice easy find on a busy road tftc
 
04-Nov-14
Although situated on a busy main road there really is little foot traffic so I had no fear of being muggled. Smile

I identified the 'muck' in the bottom of this cache as a KFC towelette and proceeded to use it to clean out the rest of the muck! lol.

TFTC.
 
15-Oct-14
Another lunchtime caching run for MM+2. Another day ticked off the caching calendar.



Got to GZ which was pretty barren! There was really only one place it could be and sure enough there it was. But then I couldn't get the blighter out as it had been well and truly pushed down deep into its hidey hole. Eventually prised it free and signed the new piece of paper put in by the previous finder. There is some indescribable mush of something in the bottom of the tin [:p]. Returned, but not quite as far down as before.



Thanks under where.

It easy to find. The Paper is very wet.

Find #: 3025
Date: Fri 3 Oct 2014
This morning our friend John and I did some walking around the Hawthorndene - Blackwood area, and found a number of caches.
This one took quite an effort to retrieve.
Should be easier for the next person.
Log was pulp, replaced it with a card I was carrying, but it doesn't have much free space.

Thanks for placing this cache under where

 
03-Oct-14
Needs a new log urgently.

Found
 
09-Aug-14
Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. Although we could feel the cache container, we had to resort to a special tool to extract it from its hide. Although the log book was quite damp, we were still able to sign it. Thanks for the cache under_where.
 
08-Jul-14

Christmas Adelaide 2013. On the way to the far north of ADE to visit a friend I stopped here to get a cache under the belt on a quiet day. A very tricky extract and I am glad there were very few people about. Thanks.

Locus cache & I had been caching most of the day south of Adelaide.
By now dark had descended for quite some time,
and I had become disorientated.
Good thing Locus cache was still on the ball, although she was driving.
Quick & easy find, thanks for the cache under_where.

Clare007 and I met up for a day out to do something unusual ....... geocache Wink
By day's end I had locus cache'd 33 smileys Sad and had 3 DNFs Sad
All in all, a fun day out and some cool caches were found Cool

Had muggles arrive at GZ just as we did but luckily they headed into the nearby property quite quickly so we made the quick find and then left.

Dark and wet when I started the search and quickly found the prize. The log is soggy, no surprise given the rain we've been having. Thanks under where, day 23 of 31 finds in August.
 
14-Aug-13
Day 14 of the 31 Day Challenge. The area had had some gardening and maintenance done to it recently so we were a little concerned that it might have gone missing but soon found it tucked away in its hiding spot. No Banana Bus came by so we had to drive ourselves home instead. TFTC.
 
10-Aug-13
The web seems to have a few problems at the moment.
This is my second attempt at logging this find - fingers crossed.
Yes the log is wet.
