I think I nearly swallowed a spider today.
Kept on getting caught up in their webs. [:(!]
There is a big Bee Hive near the first Waypoint, so beware if you are allergic.

Arrive at GZ to find the scene of a Geo-crime. Pages of the logbook were all over the place.
Found the Lid, Camo & pencil. Tucked them away out of view.
The container seems to have been destroyed. Surprised

Thanks for the cool Multi Bacon.

Getting harder and more fun
 
Came here today to initiate some new cachers who happen to live nearby. Posted coordinates is an ant nest. There was a lot of screaming, running around and slapping at ourselves. Some ants made it to our faces, necks and ears. Comical but painful. Cachers beware. Smile

lovely walk through the park

Was excited to try this cache out as it wasn't far from home and wanted to take geopup out for a stroll. We found the fly, spider and bird without too much trouble but that cat!!! We searched high and low for about 40mins for that darn cat. The tree cover was throwing th gps off which was confusing. Tried searching with cache senses but alas this was also unsuccessful. We will try it again as we are sure the cat is there hiding quite nicely.....maybe we will check with the bird again to make sure we had the co-ords.
We did find two horses, one real one and one plastic one lying in the grass which was a bit random....

Came back to the site of my defeat on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Had the bird in hand within a minute. Can't believe how long I searched unsuccessfully last time! Found the rest without too much trouble.

Took smiley badge, left elephant keyring.

Awesome cache. Thank you Smile

ProbAbly a crazy cache to try at night, but worth damp shoes and jeans and stumbling through(real) spider webs to claim the smilie. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache!
 
08-Apr-14
We decided to go for it.

It was pretty wet underfoot but it had just stopped raining. Needless to say we got wet feet.

Just near GZ, we saw the most massive moth caught in a spider's web. The arachnid was doing it's best to get it's mouth around the thing. I've hear that spiders don't have teeth and they somehow suck the liquid out. Hmmmmm.

Thanks to Bacon8100 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Wow what a great multi. First one was about 10 m off was about to give up and band it was right there. And from then on was great nice walk with geokids. This was my 400th Smile

Starting to work on my nearest to home not founds, and this was top of the hit list! After a warm, sticky day it started to cool down a bit so I took the opportunity to get this cache. Had a bit of trouble with the first wp, almost convinced myself it was under a log that had been taken over by a swarm of bees, but eventually did find it. The spider was plain sailing, but the bird had me going for quite a while. So many possible hiding spots, and with poor sat lock I could have been looking for ages, but a combination of the hint and some good fortune I had it in hand. The rest were a piece of cake, though the log was finally signed in the gathering darkness! Just one thought......with all these animals eating each other up, who or what is left to feast on those damn mozzies!! They were out in force this evening and I know full well what they were feasting on!!! Thanks for a bit of fun and a nice stroll Bacon8100

Final returned and all good to go.
 
09-Feb-14
After cornflakes mention of down trees, I went to check on this one.

All the waypoints are still in place, however the final is not.

So disabling temporarily to get a final back in place.
 
04-Feb-14
Not having power at home, I thought this would be the perfect thing to keep occupied for awhile!
I was right, with my trusty phone gps getting me in the general area, I found a lot of flies. One of them eventually gave me the coordinates I needed. The spider was just as elusive but he gave me some coordinates in the end.
The bird though, didn't want to tell me. After 45 mins and running out of water and phone battery, I had to give up and head home in shame.
It could have something to do with the storms as there was a lot of damage around the place and a tree down right in the area where the bird should be.

Will definitely be back as its an awesome cache and I want to get to the end!

Wow, a 'traditional' multi Smile.
Oh, the drudgery of it all Sad (did we ever tell you we hate multi's) [?].
Had trouble finding a few of the waypoints, either our GPS didn't want to play the game with this one or there was an issue of blindness today [:o)]. Got them all in the end Cool.
TNLNSL. A bit surprised the container's so exposed - is it in the wrong spot [?].
Thanks Bacon8100. At least we've cleared this one from the map Smile.

(By the way, this is a nice park to walk through and we always need the exercise) [^].

TFTC - On a beautiful day this multi was very interesting wandering up and down the creek locating all of the way point as required.


Thanks for all the work that must have gone in to create this reasonably straight forward multi.

There was an old gecacher who found a fly; I don’t know why
There was an old gecacher who found a spider, and sat down beside her
There was an old gecacher who found a bird, how absurd
There was an old gecacher who found a cat, fancy that
There was an old gecacher who found a dog, inside a log
There was an old gecacher who found a goat, does that float your boat
There was an old gecacher who found a pig, wow that’s big
There was an old gecacher who found a cow, I wonder how
There was an old gecacher who found a donkey, now that’s shonky
There was an old gecacher who found a cache; well of course

Bit of a boring afternoon so I decided to round up Miss GG and go for a walk, as I had added this multi a while ago and we had not attempted it and we had some time up our sleeve

What a delightful little creek and walk. A few times we ended up on the wrong side but there were plenty of spots to cross. The water was flowing quite nice and plenty of bird life around today.

Thanks for the stroll and the cache Bacon8100 Very Happy

Well since the weather was better than what was forecast, Darknstormy and myself decided to run out the door to do a little bit of caching Smile

It was quite a nice walk here today and enjoyed every waypoint, some cuter than others Razz

Thanks Bacon8100 for the cache Smile
 
08-Sep-13
Got a big hint and came back today and found the fly quite quickly, I find that preconcieved ideas quite often leads to cache blindness.
Went for a bit of a wander and managed to find all the creatures but did think for a while that the dog was off chasing birds.
Thanks for a well thought-out multi Bacon8100
 
07-Sep-13
Spent quite a while looking for WP1 but all I found was the bee hive.
I will be back.
 
04-Aug-13
A group effort by Mohuja, Leasha & Kai and myself to attempt and succeed at our first ever Multi-cache! This was in a park we have walked in often over the years, close to home it was a nice adventure for Geo-kid Kai (and us geo-kids at heart!).
Took Angry birds Travel bug and left Marge Simpson to look after the stash!
Great family cache - thanks Bacon!
 
04-Aug-13
Our first Multi Cache. Very nice. Clearly lots of work went into this. Thanks for the fun. Took smiley badge, left Pancake Marge. Also, beware of the beehive near the first WP. It's at ground level, hanging off some branches.
 
12-Jul-13
Updated some coords at the WP's to correct errors.
 
09-Jul-13
Sounds excellent to take the grandkids. Next week I will.

We enjoyed the lovely walk this morning, FTF @ 11:45am will log properly ASAP Smile

We'd dropped the tiny one (who walks about 50m without complaining) off at Childcare nearby and popped around to this for a "quick" hour walk before we needed to be at a friends place at 11am.. Oops!!
We swallowed a fly and didn't die [^]
We wriggled and jiggled and giggled at the spider [^]
Almost missed the bird, we walked right beside her! Surprised
(Some random numbers had us confused so whilst waiting for a call back from the helpline, we had walked in the natural direction and it turns out we were waiting just 7m away from where the bird was roosting when we got the correct coords! Smile how absurd!!
We had lost the cat, fancy that, to lose the cat..
I think the tree cover had sent those coords a bit scat!
We walked through the tractor-tyre bog, and found the dog [^] jiggety jog..
No need to gloat when we found the goat.. Tucked up from the creek, no need for a boat Wink
Jiggety jig, we then found the pig..
On to the cow... I wonder how she swallowed that cow?!
We found the donkey who wasn't real wonky Wink
We got to the horse, of course, of course, we got to the horse!!

This quick walk turned into a 2hr + mini adventure today, we thoroughly enjoyed the stroll along the creek, and finding the critters as we went.
Big geomonkey, (whom I've now discovered can walk 250m without complaining!) was thrilled to see the final cache and took a ball and the "Piston Cup" trophy for his efforts Smile
We left a new tub of play-doh and an Angry Birds TB.

Great use of this area, and a brilliant multi for the geokids of all ages!
Definitely one to do these school holidays [^]

Thanks for the adventure, Bacon!

Can't wait to see how you will top this one Razz

Nice work I don't see many like this.
 
07-Jul-13
I'm glad that I checked the attributes on this one!
*not recommended at night* cool! [^]
The monkeys are fast asleep. We will set off in the morning to find out why she swallowed the fly.

I've made an error on the spider co-ords in the field. Take 134 from the number on East co-ords until I can get back and amend it.

Sorry - I blame cold fingers.
