Anymules joined Mrs. SA. Sewer Rat and I for our now usual Tuesday caching adventures. [8)] Having achieved momentarily temporary Reel Nirvana on a recent Tuesday our plan for the day was to see if we could Anymules closer, rectify a few DNF's and find as many multi caches as we could. Cool Leaving home at 8.00 a.m. and not returning to 1.00 a.m. you would think with 17 hours of daylight and nighttime caching I would have found hundreds. Surprised Not-so, We revisited quite a few that one or more had already done and multi-caches take a little longer than trads. Managed to find 30 caches but added three more DNF's to my list! [B)]
Six months ago we had a long look and a big DNF. Red FaceRed FaceRed Face And then we learnt we were just cache blind. [:o)][B)] Anymules got a tip in the meantime and I having done a similar cache recently meant we had a quick find this time. Smile Hadn't seen this hide in seven years and then see it twice in a few weeks. You can teach an old dog new tricks. [^]

**Thanks Cache_ISM for this cache. ** Big Grin

Having received a tip from a previous finder, I swung by today with one of my felllow DNFers. Today we were more aware of where to look and found the cache quite quickly.

Thanks for the cache Cache_ISM. Found on 27 Feb 2018 at 3:20 pm. Find #5866.

Wow i msg'd the owner and was about to walk away but curiosity got the better of me. This was indeed a sneaky hide but well hidden. The cache was in its hidey hole, safe and sound. TFTC.
 
26-Nov-17
Found it, great hiding place!! A bit hard to find. Loved it!!
 
26-Nov-17
Great hiding place. Be persistent you will find it..
 
17-Nov-17
I think it may be missing can anyone let us know if they find it after today thanks 2 v disappointed kids Sad
 
04-Nov-17
Yay
 
02-Oct-17
Out on the bikes in the sunny weather with my little mate. A few muggles passing by which made it tricky, we were about to give up when we finally found it. TFTC!
 
29-Sep-17
Dropped past tonight to check.
Cache is still in place and ready to be found. You may need to bring a tool to dislodge if it gets stuck.
 
28-Sep-17
With a long string of DNFs, could the CO please do a check on this one?
 
15-Sep-17
Needs owner maintenance.
 
19-Aug-17
Great name, cool concept, but nowhere to be seen.

Hoot, Mogni made a surprise visit west for International Geocaching Day. I thought she was going east to the You Yangs event! Surprised Can only mean one thing. Meet up with the usual list of suspects and make a day of fun, laughter and geocaching before heading off to a special event that night. Smile The usual list of suspects for today started with myself, mogni, AnyMules and Alternika and we rendezvoused at TTP for coffee to start the adventure. Cool
We checked all the usual spots without success. The debis from the recent rain events was right to the bottom of the structure. I hope the cache isn't enjoying the Life Aquatic somewhere downstream! Wink
Might need an owner check!
 
19-Aug-17
Four pairs of eyes and we couldn’t spot this one.
 
17-Jun-17
Had a quick look but couldn't place hands on this one today in between muggles before my time was up.

Loved this one Smile Sneaky as! (Fave Point on that hide Smile) I'm glad this one was found in about 3 minutes and not 30 [B)] A lovely fresh log book was signed at 12:20 in a neat and tidy cache Smile Friday, 4 Nov 2016. TFTC Cache_ISM Smile

I was supposed to meet Doctor Owl at 9am but it seems I slept in until 10.30am SurprisedRed Face [)] Red Face
So with an enforced change of plans, the day caching ended up being a nice lunch at Sarah's Sister's at Semaphore [^], several caches for Doctor Owl and 1 Smile cache for me before I dropped her back at her car.

On my own I found 5 Smile caches and then had a snooze [)] near the city while waiting for Moneydork to finish work before we headed out and found 9 Smile caches and had 3 DNFs Sad
Total 15 Smile finds for me for the day Cool

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Finally, after having driven past this cache many, many times I had time to stop Smile
Walked in, dodging closed off paths and the closed off bridge and got to GZ.
Started looking, looking, looking, looking and looking [?] Twisted [?]
Then I found a cache container and breathed a sigh of relief ...which lasted until I opened it! SurprisedTwistedRed Face
I'd found the red herring Red Face
Sitting on the bank, I read every cache log for hints and looked again.... again ...... again.... [?] Twisted
Giving up, I rang the CO and asked what magic he had used that hid the cache so well [?]
Turned out it wasn't magic but a muggled cache hide Sad
As I walked over the bridge to leave, I noticed something lying in the creek and carefully retrieved it.
Photos were taken and sent and it had been the cache hide SadTwisted
No idea how it got there as I wouldn't have thought the workers would have thrown it in the water Sad
The CO kindly gave me permission to log the find so I stamped the cache hide as there was no log book.

Now my Christmas shopping is all complete I can go geocaching! I parked the car and went for a walk around the area. Due to the heat, there were no muggles around so I search without interruption.

As I approached GZ I had feeling where it might be which turned out to be correct. Great hide.

Thanks for the cache.

Luckily for me I'd seen something like this before or I could have been here for ages! Great hide. Thanks Cache ISM

On the way home from a bit of wildlife hunting aka giraffe with past1950 and stopped at this revamped park. Great hide. TFTC
 
19-Aug-15
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. 2 visits to this site to get the smiley. 1st visit wandered around looking lost so went away and did some research. Back this morning on the way to work and made the find very quickly. Clever hide. Gratias pro cache.
 
08-Jul-15
As I left work today I thought I'd walk home the long way as I knew there was a cache nearby. I have been meaning to cross it of my list for quite a while.
The GPSr was at home but I was able to a Google search before I left work.
I was able to find the cache BFE style but didn't see any fish around.
As I continued on my walk home I started thinking about the Red Herring and thought that I should only be awarded half a smiley face. Then it came to me, I know exactly where it is, will return at another time to check my vision.

Few TB's visited.

Found before it got too busy. Very clever. TFTC. Cheers
 
Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺. A great and clever hide.
 
23-Apr-15
Where have we seen a sneaky hide like this before? Thanks for the challenge Smile
 
23-Apr-15
On a lovely sunny day a rat, snake and Aussie M&M went a caching.
I have seen this type of hide in the wild.
That being said this still took us a few minutes to locate.
Was found by a Rat. TFTC
 
22-Mar-15
Quick find

Thanks for the cache Smile

After reading previous logs about the high D/T rating, I came back today to try and find this one. Clever little camp. TFTC
 
15-Feb-15
Really clever hide. Once I realised that there was nothing where I was looking, switched my focus to concentrate on a different point of view. Cache quickly revealed itself and log was soon signed.

Thanks for the cache Cache_ISM.

Nice hide :c) didn't take long as Ronso had found one like this not too long ago. TFTC!!
 
25-Oct-14
The terrain rating had me initially looking in the wrong area. I was about to give up when I saw a spot that would be good to hide a cache and there was one there. Nice hude. Cheers
 
19-Oct-14
Even in the warm weather today we felt compelled to take at least a short walk and this section of the O-Bahn we haven't visited before. We immediately went into troll-mode which proved unfruitful then we expanded the search. A familiar hide that some of the team have seen before (and could be demonstrated to the one who hasn't) Smile TNLNSL TFTC
 
22-Sep-14
Arrived at GZ and began to look. Mrs TiedyeSmileys had her hand on what she thought might be the cache when Mr TiedyeSmileys called out that he had spotted it. He went and grabbed it but then his happy dance turned into a sad dance. Mrs TiedyeSmileys then went back to what she had actually laid her hands on earlier which indeed, did end up being the cache.

Nice to have such a great area to park, then walk to the cache.
Geocachers notice odd things, although it wasn't the first place we looked Red Face.

Thanks Cache ISM & CacheFresh.
 
05-Jun-14
Out for a walk on a beautiful sunny day today and the second attempt at this cache. Found the rather sneaky hide fairly quickly today, but not the red herring! I wonder what that was? I'll have to have another look next time I'm passing. Smile TNLN SL Thanks for the cache.
 
01-Jun-14
Nice hide SL TFTC
 
01-Jun-14
Nice hide, never found the red herring. Although did find the cache about 6m from where the GPSr wanted us. Maybe you want us in the creek to find the red herring?
Pretty sure this should only be 1.5* terrain rating and 2 * for Difficulty. Smile
Thanks
 
26-May-14
Log sheet replaced.
Happy hunting Big Grin
 
Nice hide! Found with the company of the youngest monkey who then proceeded to throw stones into the creek. What is it with boys and creeks!?! TFTC. Btw, log is full.
 
25-Apr-14
Found at night with the SA Cousins took far too long. Why did we not see that!? Liked red herring. Tftc
 
25-Apr-14
Found in the dark with jennydoug. Nice red herring, have got all the bits to make one like this but just haven't got around to it yet. Well done, love your work!
 
10-Apr-14
A quick find. The only aquatic creatures seen today were ducks and there were no annoying muggles about. Thanks Cache ISM.
 
05-Apr-14
Cheeky decoy!!! Big Grin It only took me a few minutes to find it. Cool hide. Fav from me.

Thanks Cache_ISM for the cache Smile
 
05-Apr-14
I didn't see the decoy either. I wonder where that was! Maybe I was blinded - there were clear skies and lots of sun Cool

Clear skies to Cache_ISM from TeamAstro.
 
01-Apr-14
Found during a foray along Torrens Linear Park and the north-eastern suburbs. Red herring? Was there a red herring? Maybe I should have looked a bit harder. Very disappointed to have missed the decoy. Thanks for the cache Cache ISM!
 
18-Mar-14
Owl found the red herring, then ran out of time for a full scale search of the underwater world. Today, back with a past cacher who helpfully pointed out she was searching the wrong place, Owl commented, “I’m pretty sure I looked there.” Quickly followed by, “Obviously not.” When the cache came off in her hands.
 
18-Mar-14
Woohoo! Somebody found my Red Herring. [^]
I was starting to think it would sit there forever.
 
18-Mar-14
The red herring was below legal length, so Owl threw it back for the next cacher.
 
17-Mar-14
Dr owl must have left the herrings sitting in veiw as we found it too then changed bait and caught a bit of Aquatic life
Thanks to Cache_ISM for placing the caches for us to find
