Description
This is moving cache with a difference. It will not be at the posted coordinates.
A homage to the fun cache GA2945 Hot Potato by gd___ which was archived in 2014
Instead of hiding the cache for anybody else to find, you need to pass the cache to another cacher directly. This can be with their knowledge (i.e. hand it to them at an event or if you meet them in the wild) or for more fun without their knowledge (i.e. place it in their caching bag or car while they are not looking if you have access).
When you receive the cache you should post a found log (or a note if you don’t want the smiley) with the co-ords of the place you are at when you received it.
When you pass on the cache, post a moved log with the co-ords of the place you were at when you passed it on and the team you passed it on to. (you can then see how far it travels before the recipient discovers they have it.
You cannot give it back to the cacher that gave it to you.
Logs

Found this cache on my desk at work when I returned from a meeting
Nice Surprise

Had hope to drop this moveable at the Margate event but that was not possible so dropped it off on our way home today. No chance of a "hot potato" drop so in Ruggers care.
Soon after finding this one we met up with another team who are about to head south so they'll take some caches with them
Overnight a hoard of moveable caches were moved to a familiar area near Ulverstone so we thought we'd go for a drive and see how many we could find for the Blitz game. This one was one that we managed to grab. We'll get it out again as soon as possible so it can continue moving. Thanks for the cache
Received from old mate at Geilston Bay....many tftc...cheers ST.

Someone needs a nudge.

Found in my bag of moveables after todays event. Will need to find another victim.
Found after given a bag of movables from a fellow cacher after they attended an event on the weekend. Now need to find another cahcer to pass this on to.
After being handed this cache yesterday at the event, i have slipped this cache into Trimbletas's lunchbox while he was in the office at work. TFTC 
Found this one placed in a bag full of moveables i collected from Sharnies Tribe at the January event at Hadspen yesterday. TFTC

Popped this cache into a bag of moveable caches just before DEZ055 left the January Catchup event in Hadspen, happy travels with Dez!!!
Dropped it into the hand bag of a surprise visitor
Today was the first chance to have a catch up cuppa with the Wises since they returned to the state a month ago. After a lovely chat over biscuits and cheese we headed off only to find that we left with an unexpected cache. We'll pass this one on to another team the first chance we get. TFTC
It was left for another cacher without their knowledge - YOU found it as a surprise!!!!
We were surprised to see this cache in a bag with other moveables as we understood this one was to be left with another cacher without his/her knowledge. Will move on soon in the manner intended.
Hi The Morris

Found in the hands of WhiteWebbs as we were catching up after the mega.
Found this movable at the Welcome to Hobart event, held in Sullivans Cove wharf area of Hobart.
A great night had by all, with many trackables and movables on the tables to be discovered, left, swapped or picked up.
Thanks for the cache!

Spotted this little guy at a GC event in Hobart to greet a group of Canadian/USA geocachers off a cruise ship, but left it for someone to grab.
Thanks for the moveable.
Cheers, EPs.

thanks for the cache.
thanks for the cache.
Found this one in my shed after I was told it was in my possession, good job really as it could have sat there for months amongst all the other containers 
I'll have to find some poor sap to pass this off to.

Old mate Neville had his head in a bucket of water when I got home 
. This potato was just too hot for him to handle, and the silly bugger tried to eat it 
Nice idea for a cache, thanks The Morris

Hi The Morris
I had tried to find the initial version of this cache while it was supposedly in Riverside; where it eventually disappeared
Not understanding that it was to be moved from one cacher to another back then, I spent about 30 or so minutes looking for a cache that was not there
However, this cache was found a lot quicker and with some surprise
A quick find whilst on the move

Once again the Hot Potato is in someone else’s possession and is hopefully going to be travelling to new areas altogether..
Well well well, look what reappeared at the GCA Clans Catch Up at Queanbeyan today.
So pleased to see this resurface.
It will be moved very soon to an area where it will see a lot more interaction.

Reading previous logs, this moveable may still be in location OR may have been found, removed and not relocated yet. We know moveables can sometimes be forgotten / missed / left in the bottom of a caching bag, so a check has been undertaken on this one.
An update will be posted within 28 days….

Sneaky, sneaky.
I found this in my bag one day.
Finally getting around to logging it at a CybergranV event in Jackass Flat.

Dropped this hot potato in n0w0rries bag at the event in Waurn Ponds to celebrate Bushfire’s 80th birthday.
A fantastic night of socialising.
This hot potato has been in my hands on two occasions now and I was very keen to pass it on, this time to someone who would definitely do the right thing and move it along, according to the enclosed instructions.
Have fun with it Rod

By about 11am this cache will be at these coordinates in order to continue on its journey again
So it seems that Hot Potatoes aren't a good thing when they end up in a a place that wasn't expected! 
As a result, this Hot Potato is now, Very Temporarily, in my possession until it returns to the place which it emanated from some time ago before ending up in Melbourne
I grabbed it from a spot near Melbourne where it had been resting and it also visited Ballarat and Creswick in its travels prior to being returned to Shepparton where it will be dropped shortly.

KMace came to visit me today, and, after she'd mastered Lancelot my Geocacher Geocache, and signed the log in Harry's Hat, my GC Travel Bug Hotel, we did a tour of Shepparton for her to find more Geocaches, and a trig point.
It was a fun arvo. Pity we nearly ran out of petrol so had to call it a day, return to the house, and try to solve some geo puzzles.
It was a great day, and I enjoyed her company.
At some time during her visit, this cache managed to conceal itself in her caching bag. I wonder how long it will be before she discovers it, and who will be the next lucky recipient?
I'm impatiently waiting for the next exciting instalment

What a crazy fun cache this is. I don't realise it was in my possession until 9pm by which time dalerious was bursting with impatience, so much as to deliberately ring my iPhone which was still in my bag, and then I discovered it!
I can't wait to sneakily plant it in another GA cachers belongings, and see how long it takes for them to discover it.
For me it took 4 hours and it had travelled 118k.
I shall swap some of the Swag as a surprise for the next lucky finder.
Thank you so much, full points for innovation and the happiness which flowed out of it, and created much hilarity between us.

Finally had the opportunity to slip the hot potato into CybergranV's TOTT bag when she peeled it off from around her neck at home. TNLN Thanks for the laughs The Morris.
with instruction to slip this cache into my mothers bag (after maybe taking a peek inside) I soon realised I had the opportunity to log my 7th *FTF* for the day before doing so.
I only managed to sneak the hot potato into CybergranV's bag when we got back to Shepparton.
The hot potato was handed to me by the CO at the CO's event today "Mingle With The Morris" @ GZ making pick up coords-

TFTC The Morris I have been giggling to myself like a little school girl all the way home.
