Cache is gone again, someone knows too much about it. I'll archive it and have a think about replacing it with a different cache in the same general area.
My second try here in much better circumstances then the first and with a lot more time on my hands, Based on the hint I left the car(red) wreck for what it is(not true, had a quick look) and concentrated on the white body parts of the cut up car scattered around. Spend half an hour and turned the place upside down to no luck. By doing this I can't remember if i left all as it was, so if it was low on one of those parts it might now by high?

Too spooky in here. Especially with kids. Felt like I was waiting for a snake to get us. Found the old wreck and looked inside but wasn’t willing to poke around and find something other than the cache.
Out caching with oldmorty and frazeydaze.
Arrived at GZ and knew would take some time, yet again.
Having seen lots of body parts, both animal and man made, we finally found cache Thanks for the cache

Following the geo-trail into the bush marj01, oldmorty and I came across the body parts noted in the hint. Lots of body parts, scattered across a big area. We each went off in a different direction. This was going to be a difficult search, the cache could be anywhere. Crawling in and around body parts, lifting them up to peer under and turning them over. Marj01 won the prize for the find. Such a clever cache and hide. TFTC Rainbow Spirit
After successffully completing the CO's fruit trail series it was off with frazeydaze and marj01 to attemp to find ten other caches owned by the CO. Of the ten caches we attempted, we found five and had five dnfs. This cache took us ages to find and in fact we were about to walk away when marj01 turned something over and made the find. Wraps are on the menu for lunch; I wonder what they will be wrapping. TFTC Rainbow Spirit.
The cache was missing, so I've replaced it almost the exact same spot, just a bit more out of sight.
Had a pretty good look around the area.
Over turned some of the remains.
All to no avail.
Interesting dumping ground.

Upon walking to GZ at 20m away, I see a Red bellied black snake sunning itself. I could see where I needed to be but decided not today. I'll be back when it gets a bit cooler.

Headed south west today - back to the demesnes of **Rainbow Spirit** interesting but often more difficult placements. But there are a few easier ones near here...
Went for five caches and found all five - didn't try for one due to battery issues.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
First up this one - went a longer way as I looked for a path I never found until after the find. At GZ I looked back in a straight line to the car - across lowish grass... Took my hiking pole in case of slithering interlopers - none spotted.
At GZ it was a choice of colour. Picked the wrong one first - typical!
Nothing spotted but was somewhat worried about meting something long and legless in the metal.
After 10 minutes I shifted to another spot. Ooh, what's that? CIH!
Easy when you look in the right place.
Completed signing duties and replaced. Now, how to get to my next target. Found a track but it petered out, so ended up going the long way.

A day-trip cyclo-caching with the primary objective of visiting the Fruit Trail series.
Parked the car at Masters and hopped on the Giant so visited a few other caches in the area along the way. Tally for the day: 19 Finds, 4 DNFs.
- - -
This was the third DNF of four for the day.
The moment I approached GZ I knew this wasn't going to be easy. Given all the possible hiding places and the CO's reputation for transmogrifying caches into invisible camos.
Gave it a longish bash - like 20 minutes then PAF - the all-knowing KRS who narrowed the search range - a little. In the meantime, continued on to the Fruit Trail series with the hope of returning in the late afternoon. But that opportunity never arose (and isn't last afternoon/dusk the 'snaking' hours?)
A very interesting cache and a return visit is already marked down.

A very interesting cache and a return visit is already marked down.
Quickly located GZ and saw what I was in for. With no knowledge of cars (I would struggle to define "body"?) I gave it a quick look, but soon left deciding to spent time in a better location.

Tftc. Looked for about 5 minutes and came up with the goods. Mrs jaybeem laughed as she'd looked at it and dismissed it.
24/4/16. 9:13 AM. Cache #3766.
10th of 12 finds (& 1 DNF) - Len Waters Estate & Elizabeth Hills
I came here after getting completely filthy under the bridge at "Beam Me Up". Perhaps a trip through the long wet grass might clean it off a bit. And then I got to GZ and realised that I'd need to be crawling around again and would probably just get even more dirty. Oh well, good fun I suppose.
I tried several areas. In one place the body parts were not those of a car but belonged to a large herbivore, now deceased. Several vertebrae and a jawbone amongst other bits. After trying Big Red and Whitey, I was getting nowhere and resorted to a PAF. Once he'd remembered where this was, his clues led me to the right place. I had checked there but the camo was good. I tried again with this help and saw it...aha I've seen this before, in the CO's hands in fact. Signed, replaced and on to my next cache, "Baa Baa Brown Sheep".
I caught up with the CO later this morning who was amused that I needed a PAF for this one. Shameful, I know, fair call, haha. TFTC.

This was more a GUA (gave up attempt) than a DNF when, within 1m of GZ, I came under attack from what felt like a swarm of wasps. Couldn’t visibly see anything on my legs and arms but definitely felt their stings with several large welts appearing as I high-tailed it back to the car. Not sure I’ll be back but if I do, it will certainly be with more protective clothing and in milder weather as I’m sure the mid 30 degree temperatures are a perfect breeding ground for whatever is currently guarding this cache!
After getting diagnosed with shingles in the scalp I thought what better way to get my mind off the discomfort than doing some caching. So I thought I'd do some mostly Rainbow Spirit caches which ranged from the ridiculous tosublime in difficulty (at least the order that I did them in anyway). 12 finds and one DNF.
I arrived and thought I would leaf it but then I Samsoned and lee=afed it instead.

Looked carefully over this... It all looked out of place. My eyes couldn't detect what I was looking for though
Got lucky with this one & spotted it in the second place we looked. Didn't see any snakes but surprised to come across several roos near GZ. TFTC

Not the place to visit if you have arachnophobia. Geodad was flat out looking for this one & was definitely wrapped when he found it. Nicely camo'd. Tftc RS xo
Good spot to locate snakes , but not today. The pair of us rolling around for a while we got there. Duties done and placed back. TFTC
My Geo-wife kept a eye out for any thing that might have slithered my way while I searched around. I found the cache and then we wrapped up our visit here, TNLN thanks.

After skipping the one that looked like it could ruin some of my favourite work clothes, we came to this one. I initially wanted to skip it as well, but bikerbuddy spotted a path that took us most of the way to GZ. I could cope with a short bush bash.
We looked in the wrong spot at first, then noticed an alternative site to check. I peered down to the right spot & saw something which didn't look quite right in the torchlight. Very clever camo!
Thanks

Toriaz and I did this cache after completing the four PAF caches down the road. It was late, so this was done by torch light, entering from the corner near the houses. I realised after we found the cache what Canary meant by starting at the wrong GZ. We did too. But the hint is actually very explicit, so we should have found it quicker than we did. Loved the camo RS. Simple, but effective. In the dark my eyes passed over it the first time as I was focussed on something else. A quick log after the find, then we dodged a few spiders we somehow missed on the way in, and then got back to the car for a later than anticipated night. Thanks
This was another one of Rainbow Spirit's camouflages that i remember being shown at his event. Though in its current position it doesn't really blend in with the surroundings. It's hidden well enough though.
I was in a rush this morning and was told at the last minute that i was taking the kids to school. I was still unpacking my car from the weekend away and hadn't loaded the new caches into my gps. Instead I quickly loaded them into my old gps, but it started playing up while i was in the area and I must have dropped it somewhere when I was manually plotting in the coordinates on my other unit. I didn't realize that I was missing it until I finished finding the last of the new caches in the area. I was lucky that it didn't take long to find it again.
Thanks for the new caches Rainbow Spirit.

I started off at the wrong GZ, despite my GPS disagreeing as I couldn't spot what I expected to see.
Once at the right spot it was a process of elimination.
