No Vacancy Pine Creek, South Australia, Australia
By pseudoname on 28-Mar-04. Waypoint GCJ16M

The best way to stop cachers claiming a find when the cache isn't there is to archive the listing.

Claiming this one as a find although cache out of action. We drove a long way, did the simple decode, found the hide spot no worries. Evidence of previous flooding. I feel this site is still OK, just need a waterproof container that will fit tightly into spot. I will watch this site/log and may replenish cache myself - what do you think pseudoname?

Well, we were going to report that the cache was very wet and slimy - looks like the owner was there not long after we were! Found on the way back from the riverland, unable to sign log due to the state of the contents of the cache. Good to see that the cache is still there after signs of recent "roadworks".

A brief timeout to let me get everything dry - should be back in action in a week or so.

Cheers.

Again this cache was full of water, so we emptied it out, but it was too saturated to write on the notepad and we had nothing else suitable with us. Also, the area is being renovated and there is a possibility that it will be destroyed in the renovations. Took nothing, left nothing.

No accomodation on the hill, but we found the cache with no problem ; had to wade through water to get to it!
The lid was on this time and the plastic bag seemed intact, but once again we had a waterlogged cache to log. We tipped out the water and did our swap,sealing it up again without signing in since it was too wet. I don't think the cache will remain dry for long; it felt weird putting it back under water
Took dice, left tortoise.

Found this extremely wet cache under water and the lid was undone. Whole area was awash with muddy water. We cleaned it out the best we could and put it in a plastic bag. Had to write on paper as the log book was saturated. Suggest that perhaps pseudoname gets there ASAP to give it a bit of TLC. Area still being used by road works. A truck and trailer arrived while we were drying everything out. Fortunately clues gave us the location. This was done a couple of days before the big downpour so hate to think what the situation is now. Took a frog and left a dog. Thanks pseudoname.

There was certainly no vacancy today – the place was fully booked. The road work gang have lobbed in and established camp in the very location of the cache. Luckily, they were out on the road, actually working when I pulled in. There was one operator there, but she was doing something with her tractor, and left me to quickly count the count and grab the cache. Retired to the car to fill in the log. TNLN. Thanks Pseudoname

Also must learn to count...

Found this one on the way back from the riverland for work. Took only a few mins to find, longer since i didnt count properly and missed a vital part of the hint.

Found @ 8-00pm in the pitch black.
Thanks pseudoname, took a bit to find in the Dark. Nice cold & windy little spot at this time of the nite. Took Mamoth & left Coopers stubbie cap.

Found this cache when I was still a member of Beakers Bunch.
Thankyou

Found at 1840. A nice quick and easy little find.

Thanks

Heard lots of truckies talk of this place before (their not fond of the hill!) but never actually stopped before. Thanks for the reason.
Took a bendy keyring and left a vegemite eraser. Cheers.

After having to abandon our attempt on 4th March because of muggles who appeared to have set up camp, we made it on the 6th March along with fellow geocachers A and EP.

Since this one was right off the highway on our way back from Mrs Phrodo's parents place in the Riverland, we decided to give it a go. We'd already decrypted the hint (which I thought sounded like a Borg designation), but probably could have found it without.

Took dice, left mammoth. Thanks Pseudoname for a handly little driveby.

Found easily with some chase partners.

Took Compass Keyring, left Little man photo keyring.

Boy it was hot out there. Beautiful storms though

Aaarrrg! I Swear we'd already looked there, but not spotted anything... Wound up needing to decrypt the hint. Oh well, found in the end! Had our first ever Muggle sighting, but they pulled up a good distance away, and proceeded to take a nap, so no trouble to us.

Took bath sponge (I think that's what it was?) and left compass keyring and 5 dice (D6).

Found by the whole team (Dillon 1st),on a trip to Adelaide. The hill wasn't very "accomodating' today as there were no trucks or muggles to be seen. Easy find, took polar bear left Rudolf the red nose!

A welcome break on a drive from the Riverland to Adelaide. Very cold and windy, no trucks in sight. Took Lizard, left Polar Bear. Thanks Panky Pack.

Found en route to meet up with Liz and Bruce for New Year in Barmera.
Cache overful, so took phone cover and left glow-in-the-dark spider. A good break in the trip, thanks Panky Pack.

Now this was a driver reviver! great reason to stop and switch on the brights, considering it was well after dark whe we pulled in for this.

It is amazing just where one will find a cache! The insects had used up all the vacancies today - they were inside the cache as well as outside waiting to get in! We left a deer and took a glass idendifier. It was very windy here today which kept all of the muggles away and we had the place to ourselves.
Thanks!

A drive by that we drove out from Eudunda for!!

Absoloutely no idea where the name comes from?

Muggle trucks departed just as we arrived.

Was a quick find. Ryan had some photo's taken on the boulders and we headed home after a successful days outing.

Heading out into the country for some afternoon caching with Ryan, Cute Kitty & Rowdy.

Left a maget and a couple of other things.

Thanks!

a nice long drive to get a drive by

waited for the trucks to depart before going out to look, ofund it almost imediately

found with All Cached Up and Rowdy TNLN

Can someone please elaborate.......

Muggle trucks departed just as we arrived

I wasted some MegaPixels on Ryan on the boulders.

Cold wind blowing in as the day is coming to an end. Truck nearby but driver was not paying too much attention to us. Took bottle opener and left phone cover. Thanks guys.

All on my own here so there were pleanty of vacancies around.
A real drive by cache.

Again there was someone else in the lay by. This time they were on the other side and we were able to employ the very effective "car blocking" procedure. Started to look and then decided to count. Cache found. Items swapped and tummies refilled. Thanks for a neat cache.

We've been kinda distracted for a bit, but are back in action now, checked all was OK today on the way back from the sunny Riverland and added a few new goodies.
Enjoy

A panel van was parked approximately 2 metres from the cache. Whilst the occupants may or may not have been involved in horizontal activities, we were never going to find the cache today. Never fear...

Found this one on the way to Morgan with our friend Shiram (Rubber Duck). Thought about putting one up the road till I found out there was one here.


Thanks pseudoname.

Found at 10:40pm. After a tip from the Shankers Dinner Event of the location of this cache, we dropped in late at night on route back to Renmark. A few trucks and a caravan had taken up lodgings in the "Motel". The co-ords were spot on and an easy pick up was taken.

Thanks for the cache from D,H,K,H & A B-A.

Took a bottle marker, left a frog.

Taking Michel to visit Wolf Blass. So thought I would stop off and check this site again.
Yes it sure is here..

Found this one quite quickly and easily. The views are definately worth it around the corner. Took Small Keyring thing and left Chinese Figurine. Cheers.

Cache number 2 is up and running and we have entered the first log in the book. Thought I would check site as requested by Slider and Smurf. Amazed to find a cache quite easily at location. All was explained when we opened it. Replaced today. Took a dolphin magnet and left pink sparkle gel. Thanks pseudoname

We believe this cache has gone. We checked the hint to be sure, and the nominated spot was quite bare. Mary found a square clear container and a blue lid a few metres away, which would fit into the vacancy. We took a photo if pseudoname wants to check it.

No sign of the cache - we found the right spot according to the hint, but the cupboard was bare. Suggest a maintenance visit to confirm the cache is gone, or the cache should be archived. Cheers pseudoname!

Unfortunately we think this cache has gone walkabout, along with the Lil' Ted TB we are sorry to say. Looked all over the place, and even with the obvious clue, definitely no cache inthe obvious hidey-hole. We did however find on the ground in the gravel what seems to be a cache pencil (blue, short, and newly sharpened), and a cute green pteradactyl figure - who looks suspiciously like a cache swap to us. Nothing else in the way of cache items though. If somebody is on their way past this cache, please confirm you can't find it either. And while you're there, watch out for all the junk lying around on the ground. It is quite disgusting really. We will post a note for the TB too. Thanks, GGG.

Sorry for the late log but we managed to find the geocache info sheet in the very large puddle near ground zero. Nothing else left.

P&F found this one real fast whilst M&M played mash the potatoes (you'll get it if you visit soon enough ). We're were on our day trip to the Roonka Water Activities Centre 30th Anniversary Open Day, interesing how GCing stops us often at places we usually flash past.

Took "Nike" watch and left Lil' Ted TB To continue his journey around Australia. Check his photos.

Thanks to Jo & Shane
Cheers

Didn't have a problem with this one.
There was nobody around so we took our time and relaxed a bit. We were on our way back to Adelaide after a weekend at Morgan.
Took New Milford Christmas Medallion left Nike Watch.

Found by Sam and Jedda, bub Declan was sleeping in the car. Our second go at this one as we weren't game enough to crawl around the sleeping truckie's rig the first time. Found easy enough this time. This place could do with a clean up and some public toilets, had to be real careful where you were walking.

spotts team foundit dead chuffed at the views. took candles and left Christmas ornament Thanx Pseudname. I pretty sure the truckie was a bit perplexed. Not as difficult to find as we expected. Well done all [^].

Nice easy driveby found on the way back from Morgan camping trip. Truckie must be fast asleep when we rocked up. TNLN Thanks Pseudoname

The clue all makes sense that we've been here, sleepy trucky paid us no attention. Swapped a puppy puppet for a dragon in a bubble. Thanks guys.

On the way to Morgan for some camping stopped for a break and a cache. Easy find, parked within about 2 metres. Surprised nobody else had grabbed the TB already so took him, left a fluoro marker and a dalmatian finger puppet. Cheers!

There seemed to be plenty of accommodating places here today. Guess we struck this on a good day… even though it was Easter Sunday
Took the manicure set and glo stick in exchange for a collector spoon, slinky and toy.
Clear skies from all of TeamAstro.

Ah ha! - found it just after 9.00am. Out for a quick drive on a Saturday morning looking for new caches this side of Town...and for once we are there before CAS or T/Astro . Took magnetic memo holder, left colourful pen, fluro stick necklace and the Wrasslin' Man TB. God speed WM - we hope you enjoy seeing more of Australia! Thanks for the cache Pseudo, Cheers Rav4Raiders
