This was our second visit to this cache, but no luck today either. We thought we had the right location, but in the end we were worried about causing more harm than good. Returned everything to the way we found it, and decided to call it quits on this one.
TFTC was the second attempt looking for this one, was in the right spot last time just wasnt strong enough
After finally managing to find time to get out without muggles around, was found in spot I had previously thoughtGreat hide TFTC
Parked at GZ and poked a few things as I waited for the co-ords to settle. Put my hands on the cache at least once before I made the find. Hint came in handy to confirm the right approach and location. Nice construction!! I love well built caches! It felt good to avenge the recent slew of DNF's. Cache and logbook are in excellent condition. Worthy of a fav point for the *wow* factor and a unique cache. TFTC MinionsExplore
Really sad to dnf this. After ready all the joy this has brought past caches, I was really looking forward to finding this one, maybe another day..
A perfect day out in the Hills with Oldmorty and a bunch of highly favourited caches on the list to do. This got us. We spent a fair bit of time searching everything but we left defeated and frustrated which means it must be an excellent hide. We. Will. Be. Back! TFTC!
OCW morty8888 today around The Hills district. Here we summoned all our strengths and lifted everything in sight of gz. Alas we had to walk away without seeing this popular cache. Maybe another day.
Found It!
I need some hints from past finders to find this one. That is an amazingly well camouflaged cache! Very well built!

I don’t actually remember looking for this the first time but happy to turn a blue face yellow. Had the right idea but the wrong spot, think my coords were a little out. Beautifully done thankyou
This was an excellent cache and not what i exepected. Once I revealed the cache, a group walked past so I casually hid it again. Opened it back up and SL. Wish I had my TB on me, I left it at home. TFTC! FP
There used to be a cache 15 metres away from GZ about 15 years ago that got lots of favourite points and this cache certainly has taken the mantle and a well deserved favourite cache. I like it and it gets a FP from Macca. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Out collecting a few caches. The D rating looked good and with no muggles about got searching. It wasn’t long before we thought we knew where the cache was and we were correct. Nice bit of work here with the camo. We completed the signing duties and we hid. TFTC.
Needed to get a souvenir for the end of the year so I looked up one with favourite points. I can see why it got them. Nice quick find because I’ve found one like that before, beautifully constructed. Might drop back with some TBs sometime. Fave point. TFTC

This was the only find for the day. I'm starting to look at some nearby caches that fill a missing month on the date placed calendar and this cache was not too far from me. I had previously attempted it but could never get close enough because someone was always parked at GZ. On one previous attempt, I worked out where the cache was but again could not access it without raising suspicion. Today, I took a chance and lo and behold, no one was parked at GZ. I started to consider how to access the log and was starting to get worried as nothing was coming loose. Finally, with my hands in the right position and following the hint, I had CIH. SLTNLN. TFTC which deserves a FP for the camo.

Walked up to GZ and found a muggle sitting in his car, obviously having a break from work. He came out and wondered if we had lost something. We explained Geocaching to him and he sounded quite impressed. Before we could start some serious searching, he took off, so he missed us finding the cleverly hidden cache. We were happy that the name of the cache did not mean that we had to climb the trees using liana.
Favourite point awarded.
Favourite point awarded.
Certainly creative, and a fun find, but the cache police might not be so amused. Thanks MinionsExplore.

**Thoughts on hide:** Too spectacular to put into words.
**GAFF:** 3
**Condition:** Perfect
**Story:** We had come here earlier in the day to search for the cache but some muggle parked literally at the cache of all places. We watched them drive and park right at it, park up, open the windows and poke their feet out the window for a relax session. We attempted to find it anyways, not sure of whether we could find it from a distance. With no luck, we decided to leave and try and find Switched On (GC89GY0) instead.
After successfully finding Switched On, we decided to come back here. Thankfully the muggle was gone and we were free to try and find the cache.
After a searching in the fast dwindling light, I felt something was a little off. I tried to use my strength but nothing. Then the GeoSon used his and what I had thought could not possibly be a cache, was. My goodness, what an amazing idea and cache. Everything is in amazing order and the little containers with labels are simply perfect. We took the trackables to move on some time later in the week.
Thank you for bringing us here and for the cache.
**Trackables:** Yegy and Christmas in Australia
Once again MinionsExplore, thank you for hiding this cache.

Collecting just a few caches today with goingplaces2 and was successful in finding this one. No problem here. Log was signed and replaced. TFTC.
Came along with ilook4geo to find this one quickly and a well constructed cache was revealed. Log was signed with both names and all was put back into hiding. No muggles around at the time to bother us. Thanks for this cache placement go to MinionsExplore.
Find #: 2,908
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Pleasant spring morning
Cache condition: Good
After running the nearby parkrun I headed over here. I had searched for this before unsuccessfully, so was determined to find it this time. I had an idea of what I had missed the previous time, which was wrong, but then realised I had had the right idea just at the wrong spot (despite the co-ords being pretty accurate) - CIH, nice work! TNLNSL, thanks for a good cache.

Dropped off 2 trackables:
- Christmas in Australia
- Yegy
Plus I wanted to experience the camo for a second time!

Reading previous logs, I knew I was in for something special, yet I still managed to overthink the cache and it took me a little while to put my hands on the cache which I initially suspected but discounted. Very clever! Definitely deserving of a FP, I hope to find more excellent MinionsExplore caches around the neighbourhood. SL TFTC!
So far this is my all time favourite cache, had me stumped for a while but in the end it was so rewarding!
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H) . This was our first for the day. We parked nearby and, while I waited for my GPS to warm-up, C made the find. Log retrieved and stamped and all replaced and we continued on our way. I'm giving this a favourite. TFTC.
Headed out for some caching after lunch with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) . Headed to GZ and quickly located the hide, a brilliant hide. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Streak Day #3285 - Stopped by with Dave8153 for a fairly quick find after reading the hint and knew exactly where to look. Very clever and a fav point awarded. TFTC

I am terribly behind in my logging. It's getting close to five months since I regularly reported on the caches I've found. YIKES! Well, at least I'm currently only a month and a bit behind.
To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...
In this time only the Adventure Labs found and my First2Finds have been written up - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
But I've been busy finally getting ready to move into our new house - now in and I'm still coming to terms with the extra room/rooms!
But I did still try to find time to cache on the days that my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day demanded I find something. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, but somehow I expect that will eventually prove too hard as I have to travel a good distance if I want more than a cache a day.
Anyway. thanks to all the CO's who are getting short shrift from my generic logs. I hope to eventually get back to them and flesh them out, but no promises.
I've found some fun Traditionals and solved some interesting, but not impossible puzzles. And Multis and other cache types have been grabbed where possible.
###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###
Headed a little north-west to appease the Calendar Caching Gods - again!
Went for three and found all of them.
But two fantastic pieces of camo today - both easily favourite worthy.
So a good day all round.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Came from the north, so had to go around in circles before getting a park near GZ.
Looked around and pondered a little. Then wondered if it could be a hide like a certain much favourited hide (now archived).
So checked. Gotcha! But to be fair, this is even better than that one.
Signed, replaced and time to head home.
Gets a favourite for absolutely top notch camo and construction.

I was out on a day of bike riding and picking up some caches for the Signal's Labyrinth promotion.
Now this is what geocaching is all about. A very clever hide indeed. Love the effort that's gone into this one. Adding a Fave Point to your tally. I'm sure there'll be more to come.
Grabbed the TB that was there too.

Oh my gosh! Once again minion had us looking around for a while. The gps couldn’t settle for a while, we jumped from trees to trees until we found our inner hercules and had cache in hand. So good, favourite from me ??? TFTC clever cache.
With Blundo having given this one a fav, I knew this would not be an ordinary or simple find. GPS had me in a different spot each time I restarted my phone. Then same spot twice, lets have a look here, didn't expect it to be where I was looking, But there is was! Another really well constructed and camo'd hide, from a new geocacher on the block, who's making me think "I need to start upping my game"
Another minion cache thats got to score a fav
Thanks for maintaining the cache

OCW BoogieRogue and Everest High in my back yard. After we voted who of our team was the the most Tarzanny person we got down to business. A very very clever and thought out hide which was for me the highlight of the day and well worth a FP.

Back for a second look. Found the cache a couple of days ago but we were too quick, there’s more to it!! Had to be extra sneaky this due to muggles and collected a travel bug. Will re-hide on our next adventure. Thanks again MinionsExplore
Very clever hide. Found Jane after resisting swinging through the trees. No vines here! OCW It's Dozzie and Boogie Rogue. TFTC Minions Explore
Found on our walk, wasn’t expecting to see a new cache, so we didn’t have a pen on to log. TFTC
For some reason I lucked out with my first idea as to where it would be, bingo! Thanks.
Waited for my pointer to settle. Hmmm, surely not. I had previously had plans to make a similar cache, but this absolutely takes the cake! Brilliant! This hide should endure the many manhandling of future finders.
FP given.

FTF “Frozen Tit’s n Feet” that’s what it means right?
Gotta be snowing in the next suburb.
Sat down on the computer, checked mobile device and what’s the go with the all these publishings at night? REALLY, come on big R, let’s get some night driving hours.
Chauffeured to GZ, head in the tree’s, checked attributes-LOL, the CO is big on attributes I gather.
About to abandon the search and retreat with our tails between our legs when on our way out, CIH.
How many times does that occur, thus, 8:30pm SL, fav, absolute brilliantly constructed. Well done MinionsExplore
