With a work gig cancelled, lets use my paid time for productive geocaching . Came here for a quick PnG find. TFTC The Booos
Out caching in the area, enjoying the nice weather. Had to use a natural tott to retrieve it.Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl
Located at 7:18am. #1404.Full log to follow.??????? ???????! Baruch Hashem! TFTC! Much obliged for the placement The Booos!Kindest Regards, - Alephroom.
A quick find on a miserable and wet day. And I didn't need my tweezers. It's not exactly Summer Solstice weather today, but I'm only 2 funds away from the souvenir now. TFTC
Nice easy park and grab Did have to go back to the car for my tweezers for both cache and log retrieval though; signed and returned as found; TFTC!
(6 of 6 today)
After five or six caches today to keep the finds ticking over - as I inch towards the Gold Souvenir this month... oh yes, and 10,000 finds!
Decided to target the new caches in the Hoxton Park Recreation Reserve by **Rainbow Spirit** - which means the hints will be 100% true and 90% misleading! Got five out of the six placements - should have used the CO as my PAF on the one I DNFed
Then on the way home went for a previous DNF - and made the find. Yay!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, *The Show Must Go On* and so I returned here with *Thunder in my Heart* but probably just needing some *Long Tall Glasses* to finally *Make Me Feel Like Dancing*, erm find the cache.
Sometimes, though, I think caching with someone else rather than being a *One Man Band* might have been more fruitful here. Then again, to improve as a cacher you do need to *Stand on Your Own Feet*.
Without *Giving it All Away*, I can say today I spotted it almost immediately, had the right tool for an easy extraction, signed and replaced.
There's not much *More Than I Can Say* but I've finally expunged the double DNF here.
Time to head home from *Orchard Road*.

It was a park and grab, yes, then, a struggle after opening the lid. Amount of flicking of the wrist while holding the base still didn’t work, walk/search for a natural implement that needed to sharpen an end helped a bit, arch finally log in hand (not CIH, as that happened ages ago, lol)
Found It!
It took me longer to extract this one from it's hiding spot than it did to find it. After a lot of poking it with sticks I got it out and signed the scroll. Cue the nano rant...

Now that is what I call a micro! Finally found it after I realised I was in the wrong place Log has space for one more entry
OMG , this took literally forever to find. We where thinking of giving up untill we spotted it as we where about to leave. Very satisfying find here today in the sun . Tftc
Out and about in the area so had a look for any caches nearby. This sounded a little challenging so over we went. A little concerned by the DNFs and could see why as it took awhile to find as neatly tucked away and blended in. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Ughhh... I hate micros! Haha I was looking there all along but didn't realise it was a micro. Signed and rolled back up in the end.
The Booos I found your cache A Song by Leo Sayer on 24/4/21, 3:25 pm. This is my find 3148 and find # 8 today. Had a truck parked next to sign to give me cover. After a brief search soon had CIH. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Couldn’t find it it’s been awhile since this cache was found don’t know if it’s still here please owner let us know if it’s still here ?? Will come back and try to find..
Easy find for me. Was a bit akward with passers by watching be. It is very small and blends in well
This really was a tricky little cache to find.
I must have spent at least 20 minutes circling around the place and poking potential hiding spots before i finally got lucky.
While there was no one in the park im sure that a couple of people walking by wondered what i was up to.
The container is in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

After reading through the comments, I thought I'd be able to work this one out. We tried for a bit of time, but ended up going for dinner instead. It's a tough one, I'll come back and find it one day!
With a 22-19 record, we were a little worried. However, we made a quick find. Nicely placed. TFTC
I was after numbers today to up my cache count, both for the calendar day and to push to 1100 for the year. I had hoped to hit an Adventure Lab cache as well.
However, I was somewhat stymied by closures out west due to the Total Fire Ban. So had to do a round trip picking up finds here and there.
Went for six but two were DNFs. Four will have to do!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, this was just checked by the CO yesterday, so thought I'd be in with a chance on a return visit.
But no. Long search and still none the wiser. I certainly have a few thoughts but nothing matching them spotted.
At least my long search was mostly masked by a truck parked near GZ.
Finally gave it up. Need another hint here before trying again.
Time to head home.

Went to Orchard Rd but the cache is a lemon. My hair almost went frizzy looking for it, but I think its missing.
Deep_99 asked if I wanted to get a cache with him and I suggested this one as it had just recently had some CO maintenance. Took us a little while to locate the tricky hide. SL #3464 on streak day #2048 TFTC
Out caching with Ris768, looked in a few likely places but couldn't see it, then walked the long way round but still couldn't see it & then I poked it with a finger. Signed & returned as found. thanks to the Booos for placing & maintaining this cache.

cache is still in placed it was just put back at a silly angle we have fixed it up and now is easier to see
This hasn't been found since September 2016. Could the CO's please check on this one as we did a thorough search of GZ and the surrounding area and couldn't find a thing. Thanks!
Had some business over this way with Mrs A in tow. Better do some RS caches and try to redeem myself on some of my DNF's. Mrs A driving the geomobile and me navigating.
Unfortunately a DNF after a fairly lengthy look. Back later maybe.

Spotted it within seconds. Actually getting it out of it's hiding place took a while.
28/5/16. 3:51 PM. Cache #3883.
6th find this afternoon - Casula, Hinchinbrook, Green Valley & Busby.
I had an afternoon of mixed success.. 5 finds in a row and then 4 DNFs in a row; I headed here after getting nowhere with "Hopeless Cache". I didn't like my chances - every second log for the past year has been a DNF. And being a Booos cache of course there's no hint.
I tried a couple of likely places quickly but with no luck and then read through some past logs in more detail. One method got me thinking, so after a little stroll I was searching another item. I still didn't see anything at first, and just on the verge of giving up when I just caught a small glimpse. Aha, no wonder this one's tricking people so much. I needed a tool to get to the cache and it took a bit of work getting it out. Cool, I was surprised to get a find here. Signed, replaced and then called it a day. TFTC.

A dnf for our first and maybe our last for Sydney- only spending 1 night and been with family it was hard to get a cache in. Been from Brisbane it seems a littler easier there to cache I'm not a big away from home cache. Thanks anyways I put 10mins into this one. Tfth
Found it on the second trip after asking for a hint, nice little spot @ivan02
We just st had to grab a BOOOS cache, it's Holloweens after all. This was simple but Nasty. Boo hoo.. We did get it in the end. TFTC
A cache I'd previously DNFed had recently had a cache check - result: we were all blind.
So decided that since it's a good 11 months since it's been found I'd have another go.
While I was in the area I could pick up a few other caches.
Got my target, and another previous DNF as well. Also had a few DNFs to take their place, though. Grrrr...
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
And the first DNF of the day.
Checked on both sides of the fence, but nothing found. My iPhone was pointing to a spot near the kerb, which didn't help.
After 25 minutes I gave it up.
11 finds / 9 DNFs in almost a year and a half and a 1½ difficulty? Hmmm...
[center]Yeah there was trees and there was signs
There was fence posts here
And lot'sa broken glass
With rocks over there[/center]

Finding the cache made us feel like dancing.....bad dad joke . Took a short cut to make a quick find at the second place we checked. Tftc xo
I searched extensively outside fence and then took the long way [via the gate near the far fence] to enter the park. A short search revealed the little one against a similar background.
Streak Day # 447 - i was actually expecting something bigger until i called the CO to confirm what i was looking for. TFTC
After checking on this cache and having a new container in hand ready to replace it, was surprised to find that yes the cache is still in place.
No find for me even after a PAF explaining exactly where it should be, i fear that this one has fallen off, may need to be checked
One more cache to help me along my caching streak. Now at day #314, only another 52 days to reach my goal.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
After picking up my bag from my eldest refereeing nearby, this was another quick one.

FTF at 5:45pm, there appeared to be some evidence of others doing a search before I was there...In the end a common form of hide of late. Thanks BD.
