The Reel Point Of View Highbury, South Australia, Australia
By BFE on 01-Feb-18. Waypoint GC7HG66

LOL, very clever. Not the point of view we expected. TFTC.

On a visit to our old home suburb, we needed a puzzle for 7 April towards a challenge back home in Christchurch, NZ. This one was easy enough to solve, and the final was indeed a quick park and grab - especially with the helpful parking instructions in the Geochecker. TFTC!

Walking along the river, Torrens from the Black Hills to Windsor Gardens.Taking a short detour to find this container, and maybe get some food.No problem solving the puzzle or finding the container. TFTC

A nice easy puzzle for me to solve then a quick drive-by tonight. Log stamped and all returned as found TFTC

Nice quick find once puzzle answered TFTC

TFTC! Night was the only time I thought I could possibly close the deal on such a busy final coords. Got traffic breaks this time but still had to wait for nearby busgoer to leave. :-/

Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #7591 on 17/11/2022 at 5:04 pm.

Cache in good condition, signed physically by myself and returned as found. Thanks

That's not a bad point of view. There were a couple of our indigenous friends vacating GZ as I approached and looking for a park. I think that they were resting and having a few drinks. By the time I had parked and got to said location of fair quality view the couple had moved down the path towards the river. After I signed one of the two was waving to me from down the track. Maybe he thought that I had found something of his or maybe he's a cacher as well. Dunno. Thanks Bob from Elsewhere for the hide.

Another adventure in the big smoke with Mattycat mainly northern and northeastern areas today , a great day and only one DNF and bonus lab adventure done, once more entering BFE territory one of many for the day, love a easier Bob puzzle a quick solve and we soon had our Point of View
TFTC Bob From Elsewhere

Easy find after I solved the puzzle a few weeks back. TFTC

I think I spent more time waiting for an appropriate moment to retrieve the cache than I did solving the puzzle! Reasonably quick and easy in the end though. TFTC Bob

Close to home, but not so close once solved. Thankfully an easy find when nearby for an appointment

No luck today

After a short wonder around, I finally found it. TFTC

2 bfe caches today and both times its been raining.

A busy little spot but my point of view is "just do it".

Tftc

Found it! The only cache tried this weekend.
Due to the COVID-19, we did not go geocaching often. This Sunday, I got some spare time between two appointments, and I tried this cache as it's on the way.
Tried to solve it long time ago, but unsuccessful. It's only 1.5 star difficulty rating, almost the easiest one. But the number just not make sense. So I put it aside.
On 3 November 2020, I attended a geocache event, and mentioned this cache with another newly published cache which I think it's similar. I was given an important hint by Laighside Legends, that made me realised that I was totally misguided by the red herring. Then I got the right answer on the next day. 1.5 star difficulty indeed.
Parked on the other side of the road, walked to GZ, and found the cache in the only possible place.
Signed the logbook, and returned the cache.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache, BFE.

Well this was definitely one of the easier BFE going around. Parked across the road and made my way over to GZ, the cache was found in the first place I looked and is all good.

Another Sunday with the JAMMS crew. We are still targetting BFE caches but we seem to get distracted from this mission and find so many others. A great day out working as a team to find and solve these challenging caches.
Thanks to Bob From Elsewhere from mogni

Out and about with the JAMMS group again ( JJ52, Allister w, Mogni, Michells&hound and Sir_spectre ). We had a run down sheet of 50 caches to find and found about half a dozen extras with 5 dnfs. Most of the group visited caches they had found before at some stage of the day, so others could make the find. As usual i was the team navigator and Allister w was driving. A wide range of caches found today some with high d, some with high T free climbing or with the aid of different TOTT's but we did forget the UV torch. A fun day was had by all.

Found with Sir Spectre, mogni, JJ52, Michell&hound on a day driving around the area finding caches. A good day with great weather. TFTC BFE

Found during an afternoon of caching in the north-eastern suburbs after saving up some long ago solved puzzles in preparation for the tour. A little challenging with the retrieval but managed to make the find after the bank of traffic cleared from the intersection. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Bob from Elsewhere!

Out and about caching with locus cache and earthlight on Australia Day.
One of my geo-buddies had the solve and we found it.

Slowly chipping away at my unlogged finds... apologies for the late log.

TFTC BFE

Had answer for some time nut today I stopped whilst out with LíB and locus cache. TFTC

Yay. Found it. Have had this in my app waiting for the right moment since it was published. Going past today after a few DNF s qt Salisbury and thought why not. Another fun adventure, many thanks for placing this cache Bob. Nice Catching up today.

Easter 2020 sees SA hosting the next Easter big event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN

Geopartner wanted to know what all those blue ? marks were on my geocaching map. Oh, they are mystery puzzles where you have to work something out. They are usually too hard. So I showed him one, and guess what managed to do it. Thanks to e.gregory I had a flash of what to do and the ? was soon a smilie on the way back from having my computer fixed. Thanx

Hmmm. Not having much luck today

SPOILER ALERT!!

There is a website (http://decodemoji.com) that is very useful for solving these types of puzzles. It decoded the emojis for me to provide the following:

"The hand puts on jeans for the flexed and high-protein evil creature and the round bear checks the time while sitting in a cab."

and

"The affirmative and spooky alien kills the flower blossom, but the dressed up and roundabout tool gets a call from the tour bus."

It was then just a matter of working out what it all meant and I had a solution that the checker agreed with in no time.

Thanks BFE for the puzzle and the cache.

Another nice day for a cache.
Certainly is a nice view from here. I saw right through it!
On a clear day you can see so many caches... or can you?
Cache was in mint condition.
Thanks for putting out another great cache Bob From Elsewhere

Never let it be said that I am behind in my logging
I've been pretty well up to date for almost a year now [^]
Pretty well means that there was ONLY the small number of 29 cache finds sitting in GSAK from last year's Christmas / New Year's trip home that needed to be published
So today (27-12-2019) I'm taking care of this little matter and publishing them [^] so that I can reload the GPSr and maybe find a few more while I am here this year

After waking late [|)] and missing the morning Freddo event (it may have had something to do with finding a cache at about 3am on our way home from The Bay's fireworks), muggle partner, Rex and I headed out in crazy heat and found 17 caches as well as a $50 note blown up against a fence
We even found a house selling great [:X] cherries, tucked away in a backstreet in Highbury [:X]

My thanks to all the CO's [:X] (particularly the lovely BFE [:X] (Hmmm, I wonder what colour jocks he had on when he created these puzzles[?]) for a fun day out with many sights and sites seen and many memories recalled of my earlier years spent in the NE suburbs


TNLN. SL. TFTC Bob From Elsewhere

Solving many Adelaide puzzle caches must be what a journey on the Titanic was like !
I set off to the solution smiling and waving,
the journey goes smoothly for a while ...
... then in the middle of the cruise,
I hit the proverbial iceberg and am left floundering without a lifeboat,
and with no obvious way to continue [:o]

So what went wrong on this caching epic ??
Nothing !! [:o][:o][:o]
I saw the iceberg !!
I had to pinch meself to make sure I wasn't dreaming,
and that the mythical green tick was indeed on the computer screen before me !!

So this morning,
I set sail on the pushbike to GZ.
I didn't hit anything,
the bike didn't break in two,
and I didn't fall off

Cache found at the base of the mast !!

TFTC.

I mis-read the note in the geochecker and spent 5 mins searching in the suggested parking area. I was just too keen to bag myself another BFE smiley.

It eventually dawned on me when I checked the geo checker.

Thanks for the cache.

**# 22076** Found on our 2018 mega trip from NSW to QLD, the NT, SA and beyond.
Another wintery day for a drive around with MrsRoosta while at Adelaide.
Not many muggles around today and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,
***Roostaman***

The 11 year old member of the Famous IV couldn't make head or tail of these emojis. Neither could the 8 year old member. Finally the oldest of the Famous IV had an aha moment and the coordinates revealed themselves. TFTC BFE.

Now this is the type of BFE puzzle I can handle! A solution in no time!

Tonight I was driving past, so stopped to find the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache BFE.

First night out with Moneydork in quite a while, and it was a good one for caching, with the rain holding off and mild conditions ensuring we had a great time.

Moneydork had done the ground work on this one, I solved after the fact. Cache found in a very Bob like place.

This was find number 4 of 6 for the evening for me, TFTC Bob From Elsewhere!

A reel easy one for a change TFTC

From my point of view, we are definitely not getting out geocaching enough recently. We are not even getting much time to log our finds (so sorry for this extra late log BFE). Sometimes you need to look at BFE puzzles in a number of different ways before things align and you realise you have the Reel point of view. This one was no exception.

At GZ, I tried a bit of BFE-style searching, following a hunch as I waited for a bit of sat lock. Then I needed new batteries..... Just before giving up I heard the beep as the GPSr kicked in and realised it was over there. So I eventually got there, but it took way too long from my point of view.

Cheers BFE!

so evil! After CO gave a small hint at the SAGA, we eventually solved the cache. Wondered by and grabbed this cache in between the traffic, SL at 1:00pm.
Thanks BFE for the cache

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Well this was a Bob puzzle that was a pleasure and I didn't overthink it. In fact I nearly fell off the chair laughing when I solved it and got the green tick on geochecker. Into the TBF queue till the right moment.
Today we were out and about and was heading past so made a quick detour, park nearby, wander over to GZ and locate a cache. Sign and replace. All in between traffic muggles with stealth mode engaged. The Reel Point of view is that this was a reely enjoyable BFE cache.
Gratias pro cache Bob

Another BFE that had been on the to find list for some time but we had not been in the area for some time. A usual BFE hide and a need to tie shoelaces came in handy. Just needed to wait for a couple of muggles to wander by and clear our search area. Another BFE off the list. Thanks Sir B.

Muggles were the story of my life late this afternoon, starting with the reel point of view. Pulled over in a familiar area, walked to GZ and quickly grabbed the container between tranches of traffic. But the replacement exercise was much tougher with muggle intensity increasing. After about 10 mins an opportunity arose to whack the container back to its home. Phew! TFTC Bob

In preparation for next week’s Yurrebilla hike I decided on a reconnaissance trip to the Adelaide Hills today and to test my legs on a couple of short hikes.
I was also keen to finally re-enter a state of temporary Bobvana as it has been quite a while since that was achieved.

This cache was conveniently located en route, albeit the retrieval and replacement took quite a while with frequent traffic driving past from all directions.

Found It!
That was easier than I was expecting. (I don't think I've ever said that on a BFE cache before!) I was a little worried Bob might have moved beyond ASCII when I first saw it...
And then a quick find at GZ today! GZ offers a very close up point of view of the Liberal candidate for Torrens at the moment...
TFTC

My point of view to Reel Nirvana is getting closer.

Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere. Found on 17 Mar 2018 at 12:10 am. Find #6091.

After a successful trip to the badlands with Michells&hound last month we prepared for another visit and today was the day. [^] We had a new list of BFE puzzles that we had solved and at the end of another fun afternoon 14 were found.
This was one that I solved as soon as I looked at it...that doesn't happen very often. [^]
Michells&hound had already found the cache but we stopped here so I could find it too.
Well that took some time. Spotted the cache as I walked towards GZ, but there was also a muggle walking past so I had to wait for her...made a quick grab and signed the log trying to not look conspicuous...then just as I was about to replace it a bus pulls up with a long stream of cars behind...waited for them all to move on and then I could replace it...
Thanks for the puzzle and cache BFE.

Out & about with CPwanderer grabbing some more BFE caches
We walked from the nearby local centre & managed to dislodge the cache.
Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere

Out and about with H423L. I will evenually spell this caching name correctly.

On the way to a certain place - that place being Nirvana. I'd been there before but this time I could smell it.

Thanks to Bob From Elsewhere and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Found with clare007 quickly on getting to the GZ. Didn't realize "Bobland" extended so far in this direction!!! Thanks Bob for the hide!!

Out and about with TeamAstro today and I think there is a mission in progress. Let's see if the goal is met later today. Thanks for the puzzle BFE and TFTC

Couldn't resist picking this one up when I realized I was parked a mere 60 meters away. Wasted inordinate amounts of time on emojis before this one was solved the easy way....lesson don't turn a 1.5 puzzle into a 4 TFTC Bob

Time for another Reel cache finding day with SA Sewer Rats. Another new one published since our last day means we needed to get her back to reel Nirvana for the second time this year and me a little closer. As usual there would be a few other caches to find along the way. [:o)]
Time to get Mrs. Rat back to what will surely only be temporary Reel Nirvana. [^] Pretty quick find this one as it was lying on the ground. Perhaps it is just a bit of CITO. Mrs. rat recovered it and upon opening, - nope, log book inside. Reel Nirvana achieved. replaced and magnet worked just fine. Go figure. [8)]

**Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for this cache. **

Puzzle solved not long after publication.
Out for an adventurous day with Brisal5.
Brisal5 is on the hunt for Bob Nirvana.
Back in True Bob Nirvana. Tftc

Quickest BFE puzzle solved EVER!! Took longer to retrieve between muggle transporters!
Just have ro know your emojis

Wanted a cache for my birthday and as I seem to have run out of traditionals close to home and as usual didn't have much time, this recently published, and solved , Bob puzzle seemed to be the best option.
Thanks for putting out one I could handle Bob From Elsewhere

A rare low difficulty BFE cache, or so we thought We learnt much about emojis, as our knowledge extends only to frownies and smileys, buy no matter how much we tried to translate our newfound knowledge into coordinates, we failed again and again. In desperation, we turned to other means of exploration and the answer stared us in our face At GZ, Saturday afternoon proved to be very busy and it took a good few minutes to grab and replace the cache, but we got there in the end. TNLNSL TFTC

Bob !!! You are a tricker ! Fired up the washing machine (as I always do for Bob puzzles) and started looking for numbers and then saw something that jumped out in front of me. Now to find the time to go for a look.... PS Doctor Owl, I too jumped the gun and looked at the parking co-ordinates (lucky I hadnt fired up the car) Good One !

A new BFE cache. Second to solve. Well, that was easy. Just up the road too. And that's where Owl's problems started! The owlmobile was in the garage, blocked in by various airconditioning installer vehicles. Wake up Hawk and borrow the hawkmobile. Drive to GZ, being careful not to gain any speeding tickets. Odd, nothing likely at GZ. Not like BFE to get his coordinates wrong. Spread out. Come to the slow realisation that Owl had written down the parking coordinates and not the final. Search every likely BFE hide in the area. Head home. Fire up the computer, redo the puzzle and get a red tick. What? You dolt, putting in the listed coordinates doesn't work! Get correct coordinates. Drive back. Search correct location - the only BFE hide not searched in the first place! Finally claim *FTF* at 9.51 am. Head to the shops for milk to make celebratory coffee. Return hawkmobile intact, as promised. Any more FTFs today are someone else's problem!

A puzzle that even I can understand. Found with SupaOrange and Csaba!. Turtle Out

I like using these symbols but never knew there was more to them. Found with Csaba! and SupaTurtle. Tra La Laa
