another cache gone missing

Another one couldnt locate after a climb up

#12835 12:39A drive around the Penrith are to pick up some of the many caches that show up on my map .Pesky little thing took me more time than planned for. Luckily no muggles around to see me doing weird stuff.TFTC

On our return home from a weekend in Blackheath, frazeydaze and I stopped off here to find this cache. Thanks for the puzzle and thanks for placing this cache Booos.

Found with oldmorty.
Thanks to The Booos for the puzzle and the cache.

Only had time for one cache while in Penrith this morning so decided to make a return visit to this one, which I couldn't search for properly a couple of weeks back because of the constant flow of muggles ... I just hoped that it wouldn't take as long to find the cache as it had to come up with coordinates. No real problems making the find, though ... it was pretty much where I figured it would be.

Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment Booos.

Found It!
This looked like a nice simple puzzle to solve before bed last night. Well an hour and a half later it was 1am and I finally got an answer. Then today I went to GZ and after looking almost everywhere on this structure, I read some logs and started climbing. Then finally spotted the little thing! Cue the nano rant...

This puzzle that took a bit of solving, but I worked it out

A puzzle that took a bit of solving, thankfully the find itself was very quick.

On a hunch where GZ would be, had it in less than 60 seconds.

Great find whit the mate

A taunting puzzle that could have taken quite a bit of time. With only the occasional dog walker coming and going, I had fingers on the little cache soon enough. Thanks The Booos.

I'm still kind of finding my feet when it comes to puzzle caches. After working my way through most of the GPP series out this way late last year, I was beginning to feel like maybe I was getting the hang of it and next set my sites on this one next....and it totally schooled me! I got a couple of steps in and hit a brick wall! Eventually I had to wave the white flag and turn to somebody much wiser and more experienced in these matters lol. As they began to help me with the next steps, I realised I am very much still on my L plates when it comes to multi step puzzles! Very clever - how on earth do you guys come up with this stuff?! Anyway, finally late yesterday afternoon we were in the area and I decided to have a look for this devious little thing. This was an abject failure due to fading light and wandering children. However, today in the light of day with minimal distraction I managed to spot and retrieve! Very happy to unlock this smiley! TFTC The Booos!

tricky puzzle and hide

Needed help to solve puzzle. Quick find of cache. Signed and replaced. Tftc

Tftc - after many hours pondering the puzzle, ok days, I got a push from a reliable source which help us on our way. Finally in GP and dropped by while sound some other puzzles. The pen gave up the ghost so attached a photo of log.

Tftc - after spending ages in Glenmore park we finally are coming to the end found with WShoeii

Second find of the day, found the puzzle a bit challenging, but got there in the end.
Spot on coords led to a quickish find, thanks Booos

Found this with Martin Cousins this morning. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM
Cheers dkmacca

This puzzle took me some time to complete but I tended, for once, to make the correct choices and thus enjoyed the experience.

After work we drove out to pick up the cache. A quick find thanks to good coordinates.

Thanks The Booos.

Found with Mr MR who recently solved the puzzle and also plucked out the cache. Nice spot. TFTMC

A quick early outing on New Years Day with WaywardWoman. Decided to do two caches, and this was the second one. A good time to be out caching as no-one was around! A short search and cache located. Signed log and returned as found. A bit of Birdwatching, then off home. Happy New Year!!! TFTC

#5687- Our second cache for an early New Years Day cache run with thomo31. After pondering this difficult puzzle I was given a nudge and some much needed help. Today it was wet and quiet and we found it relatively quickly, thanks ,then it was time for thomo31 to start her bird list for 2021. Happy new year.

#7530 (3 of 3 today)

Headed west for a few finds this afternoon, and targeted a few solved puzzles. I've been grabbing a lot of Lab Caches lately, so concentrating on physical finds seems like a good idea.

Got two of those and a traditional before heading home.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Like a few other I needed a nudge here to get me over the line. I'd found lots of bits but just couldn't assemble them.

I'd also come past here last time I was in the area and even though I thought I'd glimpsed it, the intensity of muggles made retrieval impossible - neighbour nearest GZ was mowing, another was doing something with their car, and a group of car riding muggles seemed to be watching my every move!

Today... I could negotiate a few passing muggles. Just hoping what I thought I saw last time was what I saw. And it was - phew!
Quick grab and completed signing duties - as a small kid told me he had a stick. Thankfully his mother lead him away, but to be fair he never looked like hitting me with it!

Replaced and headed home.

Spent a long time sorting this guy out yesterday with redherrings and stops and starts before I finally got the OK but had to have a nudge.
Gee these Glenmore streets really are a night mare to travel through and I have been coming to the area for close on twenty years.
The gps had me close but on the wrong side of the creek, so a drive around and there was what I was looking for, so parked close just in case I needed one of my tools out of the White Beast but made do with what was at GZ.
Felt the container , grabbed, signed and got out of there as the storm started to develop, so headed home so as not to be caught as I was a couple of days ago.
Thanks for a cache with a difference.

Find 726 at 15:19
This one had me puzzled for quite some time. I quickly found the second half but couldn’t work out the first bit for the life of me. A bit of brute forcing and I had the green light! It was onto the cache find which was more challenging than it should have been. The little bugger ended up being in the first place I had looked! Ended up coming back 3 times to make the find during the daylight.
Thanks The Booos for the cache! A favourite point from me!

On a mission out west to get solved puzzles. Took time to solve with help from others before it fell into place. At GZ it took my TOTT EH to make the grab for CIH. TFTC

Both the puzzle and the find stretched me, but I got it. An FP from me. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC The Booos

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short 4 day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore the areas around Emu Plains, Penrith, Glenmore Park, Cranebrook, Castlereagh, Lapstone, Glenbrook, and Blaxland. Will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Glenmore Park Puzzle GeoArt and the Puzzled Hearts GeoArt caches, all of which we had solved before leaving home, and also hoping to complete the local Adventure Labs along the way. This was our 15th find of the day, and 115th find of the holiday.

Another puzzle that the family's chief puzzle solver had solved before leaving home, but we all joined in the search at GZ today, which was a good thing as the more eyes (and fingers) the better with this one. Took a bit of searching but we eventually had our hands on the little blighter. Signed the log and then replaced as found. TFTC The Booos.

Find #4183

Got started on the first part of the puzzle myself, then punched the info into the PHL and Magician Apps to get consistent responses that correlated. I spent a good 10 minutes or more at GZ looking over ever inch of the structure. Once I was satisfied that it was not where I could actually see it, There was only one spot left that justified the terrain rating...and there it was! TFTC

We were doing the nearby GPP series so had to stop by for this cache. An easy find. TFTC

Another outing with Bonfire7 and 154Crows. Today we completed the Quakers Star, GPP and WACCO series' among other targeted caches. A successful day outdoors totalling 60+ finds! Thanks For The Caches

I took a look at this puzzle late and staying up doing the hard yards,it was already late enough so left it til after work the following day,after falling victim to the little red fish i found something interesting, after working out what was needed then just that one more step and BOOM greenlight....excellent!
With plans already in motion to come caching here in the area today getting this one was an added bonus.
Cool puzzle!
Thanks Booos for the cache

This was a very good puzzle and hide. The puzzle had several steps. A bit of a lucky guess at the 3rd step got us through. It was a team effort. Sue solved the first step in an hour, Dan took two weeks to do the rest. 2easy. Lol. Today, we were cycling nearby, caching of course, and cycled over to GZ to make a quick find in a logical spot. A FP for this puzzle. Thanks The Booos

Certainly an entertaining and indeed tricky puzzle with many layers. Needed a push or two from the CO to keep me on track. A quick find at the dead of night.

Streak Day 1325

Solved and found with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. SL #4613 on streak day #2965 TFTC

Solved different aspects of this puzzle OK, but needed a bit of a nudge to get going again when a difficult part was reached. Came along today with ilook4geo and was very glad that the tallest person was no shorter. Retrieved the cache container in between muggles passing by and signed with both lots of initials. Replaced it again when the coast was clear. Thanks go to The Booos for creating the puzzle and for placing this cache, which should be muggle free.

Shared the find here with goingplaces2, who is better on puzzles. Managed to reach the container and the log was signed. TFTC>

Once at home and with a computer I was able to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Then today it was a nasty hide.

Clever puzzle.

TFTC.

In the area today so realised this was close so headed over. The recent rains have certainly caused some local flooding. A bit of looking at GZ to turn up the find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
