Deception East Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
By Lachlan1.77 on 24-Feb-20. Waypoint GC8KXN9

Out and about with Cirrus_WA and I C Nothing for our usual Tuesday night adventures. Very very sneaky. Love it!

Devious more like it. Really need to stop overthinking your hides Lachlan TFTC dude

What a tricky little sucker... ! A quick find once we gave it some thought. Of course this wasn't till we started getting desperate. A unique hide we haven't seen before. TFTC Lachlan1.77

Think outside the box!! Smelly here.

Sad butI will come back soon TFTC

After approx 45 min we found the decoy, after much deliberation we worked out the location and WAHOO found! Great stuff OC!

Very clever, very Trickey, very deceptive, spent an hour on this little gem and impressed with the cache fav votes for sure

I won't repeat her language when she found it...needless to say it now makes sense and we need give this fave point.

finally whooop

We came back after failing last time. After studying the surroundings and trying to think outside the box, we finally found it. Frustrating in hindsight!

What a great spot tftc

Having met certain cachers at an event we got some clues as to what to do and what tott we needed. Found today for a Wheel of Challenges streak! TFTC

Tried again

Look I laughed out loud when I realised how close I had been last time but today a bit more thinking and the log was in hand..cache and log in excellent condition cheers Lachlan tftc

Failed on this once before but had found the decoy. As a result found the decoy straight away this time before scratching my head for a while. Finally thought about it a bit differently and there it was. Very clever. TFTC!

G’day, I visited this cache on Thursday 15/12/2022 and conducted a maintenance check.

The following actions were undertaken:
• Fixed

Effective Thursday 15/12/2022 at 22:24, this cache is all good to go again! Thanks for your patience. Happy caching!

G’day all, I am disabling this cache (effective Saturday 3/12/2022 at 20:36). Apologies for the inconvenience!

Reason: Cache was still in place but the logbook was missing. It was also starting to experience some wear and tear, so I’ll take it into the repair shop for a bit and get it back out soon.

No not for me today..will return tfth

Hard

Found the decoy easy enough but no luck on the cache

Found the deception but not much else

Having success at a recent nearby hide we headed over here to try out the D rating on this one. We made quick early progress and then soon guessed the next location to get to the log. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

This one was a first for me! Absolutely loved this cache!

so much fun! very very clever

Happy WA Day for sure. Turned the frown in to a smile today. A favourite of course!

Was about to give up when we found it! Very very clever! Worth a favourite point, TFTC Lachlan 1.77

Parked over the oval and walked over to GZ and started the search, decoy was found very quickly and kept the hunt going with enthusiasm.
Started getting the feeling that we were going to have to leave empty handed when almost by accident we noticed the cache and added our names to the log book before heading on our way.
A most definite favourite here for a fun challenge and unique cache.

Grabbed the geo-twins and SirFancy headed up towards Fremantle for a run around this afternoon enjoying the sunshine and a bunch of great caches.
Pleased with our efforts we finished the day with 6 finds and 0 DNF’s.

Thanks Lachlan1.77 for placing Deception for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 15:19 on 30/4/2022.
This is find number 4492 for me.

Ah such a fitting title.




This is my 1872 find.
Thank you Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Well that wS unexpected but made sense when you read description carefully. TFTC

Woo hoo. Came back for a second look and found the decoy immediately again. Read and re read the note and after searching around had an epiphany. Back to square one et voila! Very clever..... think I'll pinch this. Fave point for this one. TFTC

Found it! Thanks for the hide ️

We quickly found the decoy and were full of hope…we left with our tails between our legs.

Stop by today found the decoy very quickly, after about 5 minutes there was somthing that I may have overlook when check on and soon found. What more can I say, I'll give it a favorite thats for sure. TFTH Lachlan 1.77 SL. Fav.

Failed again

Find 1 of 7 with 2 DNF on a warm and windy bike ride starting in East Freo, out to Bicton, then back into Freo for lunch and a beer at Gage Roads' splendid new establishment. Quite a few Ad Lab locations along the way kept us busy.

Mrs O's second visit and Mr O's first. Did some research of the logs on our drive down and had a pretty good idea what we were looking for, and we did our happy dance when it was proven right. Great idea, well executed.

TFTC Lachlan1.77!

Had a look after the Xmas on the river, but no luck. Very hot!

Searched for a good hour. Found the decoy cache with note saying, that you are close. Turned and inspected every rock a lump of concrete. Looked high and low, even scratched around in the dirt in case it was buried. Expanded the search circle to the high voltage tower, and control boxes.
Well deserving of a 3.5.

G’day, I visited this cache on Sunday 31/10/21 and conducted a proactive maintenance check.

Found the cache out of its hiding spot. I had to do a repair, but it is good to go again. As a hint for future finders, I’d suggest nearly everyone that has been here has found the cache.

No cache today, found decoy on the ground. Will try again later.

Perfect timing as I was here for the dtr’s football match…. Except this really isn’t the time to be here…. Way too many parents watching. I reached around the corner to quickly grab the decoy but couldn’t look beyond that. I’ll leave it for another time.

I’d been meaning to stop here for ages but had always been turned off by the dnfs. Thankfully I’ve seen similar in NZ and even have similar at home that I never hid. Feel free to check but I definitely signed the real deal log. Thanks for the hide.

Arrggh. Whooped for joy when I thought we'd found it only to realise.. . that wasn't it! A good search all around came up with nothing.. will try again when it's been found.

Thought we had found it only to find it was not the one , we will be back and will try again

I tried to find this cache today, but my luck was not good, or maybe it was my eyesight, or maybe it was not there. Will have to return at a later time effect a find.

This was my 1 DNF out of 2 DNFs and a total of 14 Finds on this outing.

Very nicely done here. A sneaky idea have a fav point from me. TFTC

Sneaky stumped us we will return

Effective Monday 7/9/20 at 20:07, this cache is all good to go again! Thanks for your patience. Happy caching!

Have tried replacing a number of times with people always near GZ. I’m considering giving up on this one and giving it the toss... will give one more attempt at replacing.

**Updated 18 June**
Cache has been repaired, but host has been modified during maintenance. Working to modify cache. Estimated restoration time is now looking like Early July.

We found a cache with a log in it so we guess it's right.

Cache disabled to perform maintenance.

Estimated restoration time: Friday 5 June

May well need a CO check on this one as we found it in a condition that we expect it wasn't set up to be. That said, we signed the original log and replaced as found.

Found the decoy, did not find cache

Logs full, took awhile to find with me and some newbies. Tftc

Found and replaced. Hope it stays in place. Thanks for the cache.

Out picking up a few caches with a couple of hours to kill. That was a sneaky hide TFTC Lachlan1.77

Ok. Came back today on our way down to woody’s. After finally having the epiphany about what i needed to do, we parked where we shouldn’t as a very quick stop was planned. Greeted by a noisome smell that almost had a quick retreat on the cards. Found the required host and before i could do a search, noticed the log emerging from its hiding place. Would have looked there anyway. What can i say?? Sneaky beyond sneaky and the hardest leaping cache ever. Tftc, Lachy 1.77 and the prompt reply.

Instantly found the help, then after a 5 minute search I had a thought. Odd little idea. Name on the log. TFTC.

Sneaky - like other cachers we love the concept just not sure of the longevity.
TFTC Lachlan1.77 this is find # 9483 for us.

After quickly discovering the decoy, there the fun stopped. Despite a cryptic message from Co, still blank. However, after leaving for greener pastures once the stench began to make me feel decidedly off colour (pathetic, I know), had a rethink and need to return soon to check out this epiphany ( or not). Tftc, not. Just kidding.

Tfth very sneaky

Effective Sunday 15/3/20 at 19:07, this cache is all good to go again! Thanks for your patience. Happy caching!

I have repaired the cache and have made some changes to the way the cache is held in place. These changes were made in a temporary manner and will be made with greater permanency when I next have a chance. With weather cooling down it shouldn’t be an issue.

Found really easily.
I think the use from previous cacher has made it a quick find.
Great idea though but needs repair.
Thanks for the hide

Some idiot has come along and torn open the cache. Cheers for Gumnut and PP2 for the heads up.

Estimated time of restoration: Friday 13 March

Not sure that this is as it should be. Anyway we made a quick find & signed the logbook. TFTC Lachlan1.77

After returning after a second look, I searched a bit more thoroughly after PAF for a hint. TFTH

A quorum of the Fott was here so we are retrospectively claiming the find. If that's an issue let us know.

Catching up on some missed logs.
The Better Half and I were on a round about way home after attending the event at Point Walter and stopped here on the way. Cache found without problems. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks Lachlan1.77 for placing this cache for us to find.

Published

*FTF* A great day out caching on leap day 2020. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the leaping in caches around this great state.

Kapelula and I today are out for our regular cache run. Nice quick find here with log found a second later. Good idea but don’t think this is going to last to long.

Out caching with I C Nothing and Meme28 before the Leap Day event today. Found after a few minutes searching. TFTC!

Out early this morning for leap year day and some hunting on the way to today's event.
Well no idea here. Found the decoy in second. Ten min later and still no idea

Out early this morning for leap year day and some hunting on the way to today's event.
Diabolical!!

A challenging find. Not sure about longevity.

With Leap Day somewhat of a big deal on the caching calendar, Kyzabra, AlliedOz and I made a plan to meet up and grab as many different cache types as we could prior to the event at Pr Walter.

We met up at Bicton and headed out for a morning of funds, fun and frivolity.

Lachlan1.77 SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Leaping into... East Fremantle! today at 11:49:36 29 Feb 2020. This brings my find count to 4024

Lachlan1.77 - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Allied_OZ, SVKR_WA, and myself headed out today to try and bag a mixture of caches and types for Leap day before heading to the event at Point Walter.
A interesting find however not sure how long it will last in the current format.
Many thanks to Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining Leaping into... East Fremantle!. We found it, signed it, and put it back as found. We found this one at 11:50 am on Saturday and this is my find 8432.

Out with SVKR_WA and Kyzabra for some leap day finds.

Nice concept, took a few tools in the cachers toolbox to make the actual find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Lachlan1.77 you help make this game what it is.


AlliedOz

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
How cheeky can you be. Good one Lachlan!
Thanks for the hide and ?? Lachlan1.77.

After some time searching with Cravo10 and Barnzy12, I must agree with Barnzy12 that this was evil... as Lachlan1.77 laughs in the background. Good pickup guys!

Out with chwiliwr after the event. Found,signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache.

On the way back from the LEAP DAY Event, made a second stop here and made the find this time. Thanks for this cache that had us flummoxed the first time.

**FTF** with Cravo10 and Meme28.

Out and about this morning before the Leap Day event at Point Walter by West Oz Geocaching.

Grabbed a few FTFs around the southern suburbs before making our way to the event.

We got lucky here and managed our third FTF of the morning, a great camo here.

We searched and searched and searched for this one, it’s EVIL. EVIL. EVIL.

Awarding FP.

Thanks for being part of the Leap Day 2020 festivities.

Out today finding some caches Lachlan1.77i found your cache Leaping into... East Fremantle! this is find number 1542 for me TFTH
