Time to go?

Well did a check on it today and yes gone it is. will see about replacing it soon.

It has taken a year, but during today's caching trip I realised I had done this one on 5/1/07. I am sad to read it may not be there anymore. All of us on today's trip had done it so we did not stop again. I do not want to use 5/1/07 as it will throw out too many milestones. (1079.57) Thanks. Albida.

9:28 a.m. This cache was found on our record-breaking attempt to find the most caches in a 24 hours period; we ended up finding 195 all up.

Thanks to all the cachers who placed these interesting caches in Adelaide.

I only wish we could have spent more time appreciating the locations that we visited on our whistle stop tour.

A nice quick find. TFTC.

Quick find, not the hide I was expecting.

TFTC
 
13-Nov-07
A great spot for a cache, but was a little disappointed with find, as both the colour of the cache, and the logs suggested elsewhere. Signs of magnets, but none in place.
Left TB Running with scissors.
 
01-Oct-07
Found with 3 five year olds in tow. Brought the rellies out for a taste of caching. Not sure what ended up being swapped. Quite well hidden considering the limited camo. The kids thought it was a grand adventure and their grandparents similarly.
 
14-Aug-07
Searched for ages after hours with traffic coming thick and fast. We reckon it's been muggled or our GPS was out that day. (This was recorded in Sept)
 
28-Jul-07
I had to come down to Adelaide at short notice for a few days (first time in nearly 20 years) so took the opportunity to revisit somewhere I had not been since a kid.

Saw this location when I was driving home at 4.30pm yesterday and deferred the search until this morning..

The sky birds were giving me hell in the really thick fog, but eventually found it by looking where I would hide it...

TFTC - very fitting name.
 
02-Jun-07
We're expecting to find this one where we did, I'm suprised the muggles don't get it! TFTC, Dylanja and I enjoyed the drive out that end of town and the quality of the caches very much.
 
02-Jun-07
Out for the night for onewiseowl's birthday. Didn't get to many because it was so damn cold! TNLN TFTC
 
27-May-07
Quick ride by while cycling in the area today. I was expecting to have to search all over it to find some sneeky micro. Pleasant suprise. TNLN
 
20-May-07
The only way I think of making this cache more blatant and easier to find is by having a great big sign and arrow pointing to it. On the way to take my Mum to church I switched on the GPS and found I was only 50 metres from it, so I had to claim it. TN Left Tasmania Fire Service Patch. Thanks for tha cache.
 
20-May-07
Sorry Goddess Athena, but this Cache needs a little maintenance. The Log is fairly full, and the biro is past it. I would have replaced both, but did not have a spare with me.
 
26-Apr-07
Did this at night. Easier, not as many eyes at night. No one around. Took pink bouncy ball, left cool green pen. Thanx for the wiked hunt and cache. No muggles seen at time of achievement. Big Grin
 
26-Apr-07
found in the evening rain as the car lights splashed by - interesting situation. TNLNSL Thanks for the fun and challenge
 
24-Apr-07
5th find of 30 on our last day in SA accompanied by Oenze. This was the most brazen of hides I have ever seen. Great spot. Thanks Goddess Athena.

Found @ appropx. 19:15

5th for the day.
A quick dash around adelaide after work, to pickup a few outstanding caches before I have to return to Melbourne.

Had to wait a while for the passing traffic to die down before I could retrieve this one.

What a fantastic, if not insane hide!!

God it's busy around here. How am I going to return it to it's hidey hole?

Took Floppy flyer
Left Simpsons figurine, T.B. "Happy Traveler" & T.B. unite for diabetes.

Thanks for the hunt.

 
16-Feb-07
Have seen the cache site a million times while I have been driving down the road. Nice hide in a very public area. TFTC.
 
11-Feb-07
Took me a while to find it but kicked myself afterwards. TNLNSL Thanks
 
11-Feb-07
My first cache for the afternoon with friends Trail 06. They had already visited I Robot so they watched me find it. Great use of camouflage in the container colouring. No muggles in a busy spot so that was lucky.

Took the duck and left a bouncy ball.

Thanks for a close up experience with a larger that life character.

Wow, I drive past this all of the time! I can't believe that it can be so obviously visible and yet ignored by passers-by.
Took horse, left duck.

Log book is almost full - one page left.
 
21-Jan-07
The Barramundi's had already found this cache but as we were driving past it after a HR 4wd Club event, we dragged them in anyway so we could get the find - TFTC Smile
 
13-Jan-07
Very cool and very conspicuous!
Found with gozling and friends
TNLNSL Smile
 
13-Jan-07
Very easy find, but very difficult to be inconspicuous!! Found with nursesmith and 2 friends (newly introduced to caching world) TNLNSL
 
28-Dec-06
This was the 1st of 29 caches in Adelaide that Shadow! and I (from the ACT) tackled over 4 days whilst visiting my family. What a great excuse to go caching in a new environment!

We took geomum, geodad and geoniece along (so that they thought we were spending quality time with them!) - they're certainly becoming experts!

This was a very cool cache to begin the travels - the helpful worker nearby spotted us and revealed the location though ... hmmm.. might need to travel in packs of less than 5 in future!

The cache does need a little help with re-connecting, but it's holding together - just!

TFTC. Took TB teddy and left Floppy Flyer.
 
28-Dec-06
Found it with Fore! and family during a visit to SA. Geo-niece's first cache and with some help from the locals "...its under the...." an easy find in a open location. Been mentioned that it needs attention with the fix as I thinks its a high traffic cache but great for beginners.

TNLN Fun Big Grin
 
25-Dec-06
We called into visit the robot today and we noted that the cache appears to need a little maintenance. He is losing his magnetic personality.
 
24-Dec-06
My kids found this one before I managed to get out the car..! Signed log and dropped off a well travelled TB. Thanks, Roger
 
05-Dec-06
Great hide thanks Athena. Silly dogtired was here last night thinking "like an iceberg, like an iceberg". Moved every big rock I could find.
Then, read the logs tonite & found I had the wrong cache name D'oh.
So very easy find. TNLN
But will move The Enlightened One on.

29-Nov-06
found this one with my dad
signed log, dad took 2 stamps and i dropped off the enlightened one
 
18-Nov-06
Fantastic hide! We found this at the end of our session for today. It was between this and "Like a Iceberg" and I picked the other because of the implied reduced muggle count. When we registered a DNF for it, we came here and mini-muggle was quick to hand out the I-told-you-so.
Great hide and fun photo shoot spot too!!
Took McDonalds Toy
Left worm (well, I actually forgot to put it in, but will on a return visit late one night.)
Thanks for a cool hide.

A tricky pickup during peak hour, used the old chatting on the phone trick Smile TNTN TFTC
 
05-Nov-06
Found by Swampy, Buzz, Abo, Monty and Bat of the Tassie Contingent.
Was passing to collect a local friend so snavelled this one on the way.
Actually found it last time I was here but business hours stopped me - took photo to remind myself...

Another great cache! Could not believe we didn't find it the first time! But so proud of ourselves to find it the second! Well done on such a clever cache! We loved it!

Had a quick snag and walk on to make the log. staff from inside where keeping a close eye on our friend.

04-Oct-06
Second attempt at finding I,Robot - our second cache - was successful! A lot of fun! Very clever hide!
 
01-Oct-06
Judging by the other logs, this one is much easier early on a Sunday morning. We had it in and out in seconds. Thanks for the cache!
 
01-Oct-06
Very clever hide, right in plain sight. Left rainbow eraser, took fish eraser.
 
Like our friend you got to have nerves of steel to tackle this one in the busy times.
TFTC
 
25-Sep-06
What a great spot! Felt like I was being watched but it all went OK. TFTC
 
21-Sep-06
Walking towards the coords, I went... "Oh, That robot". For me, GZ wasn't exactly where the cache was (prob just my GPS/sat lock) but found the cache easily, hope I wasn't spotted by muggles (tried to be nonchalant about it).

Took pig, left feet.
 
20-Sep-06
Amazing what a coat of paint can do! Nice quick find but a clever cache nonetheless. Took fish, left ball. Another well done one Goddess Athena.
 
Very busy, even at 20:15. Nothing sus about four people wandering around in the dark is there? So Drama Princess and I got in the car. Mrs and LankyOne found this quickly, left gold pig, took a mongrel cat (not my choice). TFTC
 
09-Sep-06
1st find for the day. Had some unexpected help from a shop owner, not sure if he was a geocacher, but he was certainly observant enough to know where it was!! Wink

TFTC - I also have passed this hundreds of times, with no idea of it's existance. Geocaching is SOooo much fun. Razz

Found at 16.45 Localtime. TNLNSL. TFTC! Very nicely placed Smile We would have driven past there at least 200 times in the last year without realising it's there.

A very clever hide in an obvious spot. Had to watch for muggles. This was find 33 of 35 finds today. I think this is a new SA record and this one broke it! Thanks for replacing it recently.
 
05-Jun-06
Big Grin Returned cache to the site this morning...Took TB & left Action Man toy...
 
01-Jun-06
Sad We found it on our way home from late night shopping at the site. It was visible and broken as we walked up to it. It requires some maintenance so have taken home to do some repairs/modifications. Will return on way to work on Mon. 5th June 2006 (early about 5.45am)

Who would have thought that there was a cache here! A fair amount of traffic but able to wait for some gaps while we grabbed the cache. TNLNSL Stanleys

Teams Langy and Baggy Greens suggested we stop and I do this one as it was the perfect opportunity. Good spot... TNLNSL
 
10-Feb-06
Found 7/2/06 by The Ferretters

Left: red pencil worm
Took: pink smiley eraser

We rode past at about 6pm, but there were way too many muggles, so we snuck back in the car, after dark. Much easier that way....
 
04-Feb-06
Parked in the next car park along as we didn't see the robot at first. Spotted the container easily enough, but had to time it right to retrieve it. Replacing was a lengthy process too, due to muggles. Took a green vintage car, left a white sports car. Thanks Goddess Athena.
 
29-Jan-06
Driving towards it "Look! There is a robot." Beep,beep went the GPS. Nice one!
The container has got a small hole, but otherwise everything is fine. We put a pez bear in to join pez Minni Mouse.
Thanks Goddess Athena. We enjoyed several of your caches today.
 
07-Jan-06
Late on a Saturday night was a good time for this one.
Barra 4 got straight out of the Barra Bus and found it straight away. Left PEZ, Stamps, Tot Car & Eraser's took Fire Badge, Bag, & Toy Car. Cheers from Barramundi's
PS: One of the things on the bottom of the cache is loose, may need a quick dab of glue.
 
05-Jan-06
Cool structure! Found easily.

Thanks
 
17-Dec-05
Heeded the logs and turned up after-hours for an easy find. Don't know how you would retrieve it unnoticed with that office window just there! TNLN. Cheers.
 
11-Dec-05
I can see why the previous logs recommend weekends or evenings. Found it after walking down from "Like a Iceberg".
Nice hide.

Found on way home from work. Early on a Sunday morning is definately a good time to retrieve this cache! Been past many times, but always toooo much traffic and muggles!
Left a patch, took the seeds.
Thanks
 
27-Nov-05
I'm not overly concerned by this robot, unless he falls on me.
Took matches (!, naughty, naughty) and left a pencil. Also swapped bouncy ball for some herb seeds.
 
07-Nov-05
Easy drive by and easy find. TNLN
Note to owner. This is private property and the tenant asked me to explain why so many people were stopping to check the robot.I did my best to explain and she (Marion) was quite understanding but felt the hider should have asked permission. Suggest you give her a call

Well, after the 4 DNF's to start off the cache-whoring(tm) trip by bicycle, I found this one. But, I couldn't retrieve it to log it because the business was open and lots of traffic. Managed to get a photo of it though! Does that count?
