It's Bugging Me Boronia, Victoria, Australia
By The Rusty's on 11-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5CQJV

It’s bugging me that no one can seem to follow a simple request (and geocaching etiquette) to put the cache back where it was found, hence this becomes an unenjoyable and frustrating experience for both cachers AND the CO.
It’s time to put this cache to sleep and open up the area for one of the other local creative COs to do something clever with the area.

Thought it would be a good time for a second look, And win me a Troll souvenir. But somehow I chose the time when a basketball game or practice just ended and crowds are leaving.... Nevermind, I'll wait in the car and look after they leave. It's already thinning out

Ah, but no luck again. I was hampered by muggles, darkness and mud... but ultimately just by frustration! I know what the cache looks like but it just won't reveal itself to me! I'm dirty and wet and giving up again.

We had a perfect record until we got to this one. A fail for one we’ve called into on the way home. This now bugs me.

Out tonight at the stadium for a basketball semi final and this cache was too easy to avoid as it was very close. Took a fair amount of searching before the little gem was found and logged. Thankfully the stadium had not opened and it was placed back easily.
Our thanks to The Rusty's

The Coffee's.

Far to many people here for stealth....will come back after dark!

Couldn't find it by touch, so I stuck my head under from a few angles and couldn't spot it by sight. Gps suggested buggy's friend was closer but the logs and description gave me a good idea where I should be looking (checked both incase anyway) It's bested me today, or perhaps it's crawled off. Now I'm crawling away with dirty knees and no smily face

Hunted for this one for a good while, down on all fours in the dirt. No luck - noticed the logs - maybe it has walked again? Not sure...........

Finally had a chance to get this one with out being noticed. Great hide. Thank you

Not found today. After getting down on all fours and looking around I got gunk in my hair and dirty knees but no cache. Will come back another time.

Friend found it

Found. Nice hide

Came back again, but with the geokids this time. They were much more nimble and gave me a better excuse to lurk around the bugs without suspicion. Found it super quickly this time. Love the cache! A favourite for us

Crawled around and hunted under for a while. Will try again another day when I have more time...

Catching up with geo family and grabbing a few caches. Found after a short search.
Thanks The Rustys for placing the cache for us to find.

Geoson found after a bit of a hunt. Gps was swinging a bit. TFTC

Nice cache

It's so cute!! Log signed and cache placed back in position. No muggles today as school holidays.

Didn't find it at a snails pace. Cheers, TFTC

A big thankyou to The Rustys and robinyang for putting the cache back where it should have been. . Finally found it

Last night, I was out in the area with my caching buddy 4evatinks and this bug cache was my final find for the evening. The basketball carpark appeared all green on our geocaching app map so we were very surprised upon our arrival to see the area totally full of cars. We drove slowly until we found a parking spot, then walked over to GZ. We timed our arrival as basketball practice or perhaps matches were ending and there were a few groups having their after match conversations just outside the stadium doors. Thankfully GZ and the buggy artwork were sufficiently far enough away that we could begin our search in relative peace.

The artwork here is impressive and after admiring it, we began our search. Now I have never been a fan of bugs and the idea of searching all over a big bug, did bug me. In the end, 4evatinks and I did make the find but we had to get down and dirty to make the retrieval. I retrieved, we signed, she replaced. We then spent the next few minutes brushing ourselves off.

Messaging the CO this morning, I discovered previous cachers had not correctly replaced the cache (note the CO's request in the description), so I organized to meet The Rusty's at GZ for a cache maintenance run, a coffee and chat. She made me wear a fluoro vest and to get down like a bug again to retrieve the cache. Ah, the things I do for fellow cachers! But The Rusty's is one of my favourite people in the geocaching community and there really isn't too much I'd do for her... even though it may bug me

TFTC The Rusty's. Favourite from me for the whole experience!

ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO PUT THIS BACK WHERE IT BELONGS. IF THIS MOVES AROUND IT BECOMES RATHER DIFFICULT TO FIND, ESPECIALLY IF ADULTS NEED TO CRAWL UNDER THE STRUCTURE TO RETRIEVE THE CACHE. THIS SHOULD BE EASILY RETRIEVED BY CROUCHING NEXT TO THE STRUCTURE.
***PLEASE REPLACE EXACTLY AS FOUND***

A night of caching with rbinyang. This was challenging for a few reasons. Lots of muggles nearby and some hunting around required flexibility to retrireve the cache. We both ended up quite dirty but as it turned out it was my 300the cache so a good number. Tftc.

This cache has been on our to-find list for quite some time now, so it was a happy coincidence that we booked in to a school holiday workshop at the library.
We had a 5 minute look before our workshop started, but did not turn up the goods.
After the workshop, we spent another 20 minutes hunting. Just as I had texted the CO in frustration, Mr 8 found the original container, as well as the replacement, mere seconds later.
We signed the log and returned the container to its hiding spot.
Was quite fun to find this one, the kids had a ball sliding all over the bugs and we didn't look at all suspicious like you sometimes can looking at these types of places.
TFTC!

Simultaneous found it's on this one! Geohaze thought she had, I thought I had it. Cache must have been replaced at some stage, but 'missing' cache was still there. Unravelling the logs and it looks like I win - at least mine was the new log. Both caches returned together so CO can come and collect one TFTC's

I can’t think of anything entertaining to write
I am totally blank
I just can’t perform under pressure
It’s bugging me

I looked up insect poems for inspiration and found this
*modest to the level that Dang,
and insects of his nature cannot
understand!
The body is human but the soul is not.
Insect soul*
I don’t understand it!
It’s bugging me

Ok what about a song?
*It's bugging me, grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah I'm endlessly caving in
And turning inside out*
I can’t remember the next line!
It’s bugging me

I'm sorry Rustys,
this is the worst log I've written for you
It’s bugging me

We found the cache
Nothing's bugging me now

(except this pathetic effort)

Geomum and geokids found this one on the second last day of holidays. Keeping up our streak for the month of January. Was nice and quiet here today so mum sat back and let the kids find it. TFTC Rusty's!

Log replaced. All good to go

What a great way to start the new year by squashing a bug! We squeezed our first find of 2017 onto the log but it definitely needs replacing. Tftc Rusty's!

went caching with my son but did not find

Its no longer bugging me, have driven past heaps if times but always off on a non caching mission, today we are in a caching mission and plan to get there.... Log is full and I didn't have a spare with me, sorry, I better stock up.... Tftc

#399 - 11.50pm
I took the Minis up to Burke's Lookout this evening for the best view in town...and a cache!
It bugged me that we left without a smiley.

We went home for dinner and soon after that I put them into bed... and happily (but unintentionally) fell asleep with them!
It bugged me that when I woke up at 11pm, I still hadn't got my cache for the day - but I was never going to give up my streak so easily!

I looked at the map to plot a course. As I'm approaching 400 finds, I'm noticing an expanding ring around my home devoid of available caches. A sort of donut of despair! When I began caching and first looked at all those countless caches on the map, I could never imagine this happening.
It bugged me that I had to travel further now for my 'fix'.

I stepped outside. The lovely weather had gone, unexpectedly replaced with showers.
It bugged me that it was now raining.

I went to my first destination of choice but there were muggles there.
Muggles bug me!

I then drove down to this Trusty Rusty cache. Muggles here too, until I noticed the lingering car was empty, lol. I strolled around to GZ. The scene that confronted me there seemed rather blown out of proportion - Franco Cozzo came to mind, "Grand scale! Grand scale! Grand scale!". It made me realise that, by comparison, all the things that had been 'bugging me' weren't so big after all.

It took a few efforts to find my smiley and sign in. Only one space left on the log...

It 'buzzed' me that I kept my streak going.
It buzzed me to know I'm now all sorted for tomorrow...
(#400 - Surf Coast Mega!)

Thanks to The Rusty's for 'bugging me' in the best way possible.

This one has been bugging me for a while. It always feels like just too big a detour to look for it after a long cycle home from work. However, with a hole in the caching calendar I decided to head there and have a look. It is one of those I am glad I have my bike as no one pays any attention to someone 'fixing' their bike at GZ. Quickly located and glad to get the smiley. The log is close to being full. TFTC!

Coords led me away but clue and logs helped me find it. Another great cache by The Rustys.

Glad I had the geokids with me to crawl around and spot this one! They love the challenge of a nano. Great location and fun hunt! TFTC!

Found by my geodaughter:-)

Such a cool hide I got a little dirty searching for it but glad I had camera on phone to help pin down the locale

Nice quick find was had here. TFTC.

Sneaky cashe! Had to use our phone camera to find it

Apologies for the time taken to log the find. Somehow this cache caused me memory loss, possibly due to bugs in the brain. First found it a long time ago and was happy. Turned up in the area again a couple of weeks back and it popped up again. Resigned the log and took this long to actually log it. TFTC The Rustys, nice hide.

Time: 7:31 pm
Find #7862**

Headed out again this afternoon with 88andy88 to attempt to clear out some of the remaining caches in our 10km from home zone. The weather was not playing too nice this afternoon, but we did have some small patches of sun to keep us happy.

Well, this one REALLY had been bugging me for quite a while as every time i seemed to be nearby for basketball, there were way too many muggles to deal with. Tonight a deserted GZ meant free to search. Some hints from previous finders didnt seem to help and eventually it was found opposite to what I was told. anyway, now happy to have a smiley on the map.

**Thanks to The Rusty's for the cache. TNLN**

My caching sense must've been turned up to eleven, because as soon as I pulled into the carpark, I realised where this would be. Put my hand on it without even looking! Cache is in very good condition for being in such a busy little spot.
TFTC!

2nd for the day

Quick find on a spur of the moment caching adventure!! Thankyou!

Found it with the family. Easy find. TFTG

Sneaky little one. Got my hands and knees dirty but found it. The log book is not full, just just have to unwind it, there are spare spots closer to the middle.

Took a while to find because of all the basketball muggles and i was glad i did it with a mate as he rolled it back up the sucker then dropped it so we had to search for it again but its back in position

Basketball muggles all around. But we got it. May have drop it. But it's back.

Found it. But took abit was waiting for the kids to leave so they woulnt take it

A nice easy one and the smallest I have found to date. Excellent for a Rainy Saturday afternoon. Thank you

This is the second nano I've found, very sneaky! I needed the hint, thanks

Found it on our second attempt. Tftc

Out for an afternoon of caching in the local area. This area was Muggle free today and just as well as it took us a little while, but Mr Pooky soon had the cache in his hand. Log signed and cache returned and we were on our way. TFTC and bringing us to this park, we now know where the Knox basketball stadium is.

Stopped in the park nearby and decided to go caching, I was delighted to be informed that a Magnetic Nano was in my proximity. I spent 5 minutes searching before the cache was in my hand. Those who find it and decide to wrote on the scroll, the real challenge is set for you ro return the scroll to the cache! Good luck, TFTC

*text*After a roGue morning bemused by a couple of c r a z y cachers; inspired & impressed by their efforts we set out to get our own s m i l e y fix. Kids & Wife were climbing all over the bugs & at one stage I was preparing myself for a trip to the hospital as all three where sliding down the back of the snail & laughing ridiculously.
Co ords at first seemed off as we where in the bushes by the fence however our 'Geo senses' kicked in & through the last set of logs the location was evident. Hide was an opportunity taken - great stuff. Very well hidden cache - good hide!!

TFTC

Hmmmmm not sure what to make of this one. The sculptures were were fun and a great location for a cache. But typical of Rusty's caches I find myself on all fours trying to retrieve the container. And this time it's a nano! I have no problems with nanos *per-se*, I have placed one myself, but this was a bit of a struggle.

A couple of minutes searching yielded no results, other than getting dirty wet kneecaps on my jeans and dirt through my hair and face. I went back to the car, changed glasses from tinted to clear, and returned to continue the search. A short while after the cache was found. Talk about evil: a nano, in a dark location, and camouflaged as well! You *do* know there is a place in hell for people like you?

To top it all off we were in a loan car and did not have extraction and log rolling tools on hand. It was a struggle to get the darn log out and back in again without destroying it. We completed the task and couldn't get back to the car fast enough to get out of here. I needed an ice cream to placate me. We drove around the shops we couldn't find anything open on a Sunday that might have sold them. Boronia clearly has a problem with this issue and I'll be sure to take it up with the local MP. We stopped at the 7-11 and I got a *Frozen* (movie) ice cream that was devoured in three bites. It was almost as underwhelming as the cache itself.

See you in hell, Rusty's

After multiple times trying to get this one we finallllllly found it!! i think it had been moved around quit a bit from geloow caches. Glad it has returned to where it should have been found it within 20 seconds after using the helpful hints previously given from the lovely cache owner. TFTC

Awesome! After looking before Christmas and having no luck, we used a Rusty's trick and found it easily. Couldn't get log out so have photo if required. TFTC!

Moved this creeping cache back to where it's meant to be. PLEASE REPLACE WHERE YOU FOUND IT!

Been trying this one for ages and finally introduced friends to it and they found to! Tftc!

Found it in the end, very small.

Out on my own today and set out to walk in one of my favourite spots, the Dandenongs. On the way this was a very interesting area to check out Love what they have done with the expired trees here. I was very lucky to put my hands on it straight away. No muggles here today which was a bonus.
Thanks for bringing me her The Rusty's

We found it at last! After some advice from a friend we were still having trouble as it wasn't in the same place that it had been when they found it, but knowing what we were looking for this time we got considerably dirty in our search for this one. Definitely the smallest we've seen so far.

Well, it seems the cache has been there all along. Probably just suffering from "cache creep" once again.

This cache really is bugging me. Second time it seems to have disappeared. I will check it out and sort out what I want to do.

Was surprised to see this disabled when I went to log on my phone earlier today as a find. We found it only last night around 9pm when we were at the centre for a late basketball game. Because it was dark no-one was around the GZ and most people were down near the entrance. My youngest son RZ retrieved the cache while pretending to play and we sat on nearby seat to sign log. While we were signing a lady decided to bring her young child over to play while she made a call. Luckily it was a quick one and after they were gone. RZ replaced the cache where he is pretty certain he found it. Hope it isn't really missing for you The Rusty's. Was a nice little cache. Thanks.

Tries to find this one after the kids basketball training but it is prooving difficult for us. We had a good look but haven't managed to find the little darling. We're here all the time so hopefully it will show itself to us one of these days.

Sneaky little hide, took us a bit of crawling but soon spotted the sucker. Tftc!

Found a magnet nothing attatched please check for maintenance
Thank you

Second attempt. Less traffic this time. TFTC

Found yesterday on a rainy Sunday afternoon...no one around except me...love this area so good for kids to play on. Took me a lot of searching but finally found it..returned to where I took it from. I imagine this would be a super busy place on occasion. Many thanks for bringing me and a local who had never seen this to this wonderful place The Rusty's.

Love the bugs I found in my search, never nee they were there. Cavhe nlends in well

Over the many years of my sons basketball junior days, we would come to this stadium a few times a year, usually on a Friday night and sometimes for tournaments, and since the cache has been here I've only been twice, the first time was a Friday game and it was muggles galore coming and going , searching at night was tough and I barely had a chance to look under, only feel a few places until kids would run up and play. The other time I didn't even get a chance to search and that was over a year ago. With the junior career over he now plays socially and usually drives himself to games but tonight we came and watched and I didn't even know we were coming here until we were on the road. The first thing I thought of was THiS cache, and what a great chance I would have to search for it, being a Tuesday night. Before the game it was quiet and I started methodically until I looked up and saw a two year old running from their parent straight to the shiny critters ! Foiled. I slunk away inside and as the game started I planned my attack for the half time break. Back outside and I continued my search and Ta-Da spotted it, I grabbed and ran back inside to get some help with the extraction, I held onto it until after the game hoping that nobody would come and search while it wasn't in place for 20 minutes.
Replaced exactly how I found it, thanks for the smilie

We had to to pick up Xmas pressie for our Geogal nearby so popped over here. We have been meaning to do it for a while as we drive past regularly to visit friends. Despite not gaving any child decoys we managed to do this with no muggle observers. TFTC.

Ttfc found late night caching on the way home from rovers
Tried before but there were too many 'muggles' around hahah
Thought it was around there but gps kept misleading me lols

Could not find this at all today with Jaris. Basketball was on so it was very hard to be stealthy

Found sorta by accident when we made it fall

Heading for the open gardens in Alexandra with jcody and picking up some caches along the way. Diverted here to check out the carvings.
10:47 am

Ok so this one tested me a little bit! It was raining and not very warm, the place was vacant so I had pretty free reign of the place. Still tricked me till I thought outside the box a little bit and had to use a different 'tool' to help me. Then it was a matter of seconds and I had that little cachey goodness in my hands! Thanks for the sneaky hide!!!

A quick grab whilst no one was around. Tftc

found on a quiet walk around the area. tftc.

Bradman7777 was here (>_

This one was a very cheeky hide and found with ease!! TFTC

great hide!!

Second try lucky!! Thanks for the extra hint...quick find this time

This one is totally bugging me!! Looked and looked but could not find even with Geokids helping out. Will be back for another look soon!

Thanks

Well this one was sure named correctly.
We have dropped by before to find this space full of kids.
This morning things were very different.
No one in sight.
Well with the solitude sorted we soon had the cache in hand with a good bit of thorough searching.
Thanks to The Rusty's for placing this cache, a great spot.

Geobro found. Tried this a while ago but got muggled out. Tftc

Omegaman1971

After a puzzle cache just around the corner, we dropped in for this one.
Love a nice a easy cache!
So many muggles around but.

TFTC

Had a few things to do in the aerea after work. When all done it was time for a few quick caches.
Nice spot for a nano! Found it quick when i tried to look stealth
Thanks!

Whoops waaaay too much muggle activity

Got it thanks

I nearly got blown off my feet walking to gz to search for this cache, the weather was getting worse by the minute. But it was a good day to go for this one as muggles were few and far between. I got lucky and had the cache in hand in just the second place I tried. Unfortunately the log was so tight in the cache I was unable to remove it to sign, and I didn't have my full kit with me, so I shall make the find official next time I am in the area with extraction tools handy. I love the sculptures, they are excellent and well worth the visit. Thanks for bringing me here and thanks for the cache.

Are there any friendly cachers who are willing to help with an Australian/ New Zealand Multi?

All quiet this morning so had an uninterrupted search for this cache. Found, signed and returned. Thanks for bringing us to this area once again.

Holy moly - dont come here on a saturday arvo!

Found it

Intriguing art - found the cache after a brief search. The search needed the right perspective to find the little container!
