logged in with another cache

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….

found Xavier, will log one he has been moved to his new spot.

Moved and ready to be found. Hiding out with the Kilmore ICEM geocache.

Picked up Xavier and will drop him off shortly.

Good to go.

Was passing by Xavier today so made the quick stop to pick it up and tick off that illusive X cache
Will move it along soon

Xavier has been keeping warm at our house this week, but it's time for him to continue his journey.

He enjoyed lunch with us at the Mount Compass Tavern before bailing out of the car on the way back home.

It would be advisable to only attempt a find on this cache while travelling towards Adelaide, as this road can be extremely busy most of the time. There is a dirt track you can park the car on to avoid stopping on the Victor Harbor road.

We were having a coffee with Mr J's dad not far from here, so ducked around the corner and grabbed this cheerful looking gnome before heading back home.

We will bring Xavier back to J & J HQ for a week or so before releasing him back into the wild soon.

Thanks Tassie Trekkers.

Well this little gnome is already dressed in his bathers and even though the weather here in Adelaide is starting to get a tad on the chilly side I figured he still needed some beach views.

I do apologise for holding on to him for a little bit, I have been waiting for some movement of GCA caches in SA because I didn't want to over populate some areas with too many GCAs

Found your lovely gnome today in the hands of some wise Tassies, I have taken it now to continue its journey onwards.

Safe travels!!!!

Xavier the Gnome was ready to start its tour of South Australia so dropped off into the park at an early cacher meet up.

Picked up this morning and heading for the big island.

Back out

Needed a cache today so Xavier came home for a visit.

In town for our granddaughter's birthday so decided to add a bit of caching to the day. Xavier is back out ready to play

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find when we found our way to GZ along a peaceful country road. Haven't been this way for many years. My grandparents used to have a farm on this road many years ago. TFTC and a trip down memory lane

Back out and waiting next ride

Hi Trekkers
Out and about after some friends to have in the car
So I collected this one as he looked like he needed some company too
Sainted the beach bum at 1303 hours
Wasn't able to give him a new "home" on the way back to Huonville as it started raining
But, he's good company and his surfing exploits are tremendous to listen to
TFTC and cheers

Back out

Spotted Xavier at the Goat Island events. I reckon I'll see him again soon down south. If Mrs Whitewebbs doesn't take him to the beach I will. Maybe I can even find a pink and white trolly for him to push around that will be Xciting

After the event on Goat Island an assortment of moveables were extractred from geomobiles and swapped or found and this was one of them.

Spotted Xavier in the car park after the event on Goat Island. He looked disappointed that he hadn't got closer to the water as he was certainly dressed for the occasion. Will take south and rehide soon. TFTM

Hello Tassie Trekkers thanks for the cache.

I spotted this one at an event at Goat Island.

TFTC

mr sharnie's tribe went looking for this moveable cache on a solo mission. Day time caching during the week is a bit of a problem but sometimes the opportunities are just too good to resist. A quick find in an area where we found a few gnomes and other moveables before. We'll get him back out on the trail asap. Thanks for such a happy looking chappy

After spending two days sitting in the hot geo mobile Xavier was ready to get out and about again. He was hoping to find a place at the beach but hopped out on Round Hill - great view of the water. Last seen heading to a garden bed.

Happy travels Xavier.

We had a prearranged caching day with Grumbligrot today to find the Weekend Drive caches by the Hilberts and were heading home mid afternoon when we noticed this moveable had popped up in an area quite close to where we currently were. Couldn't drive by and leave Xavier unfound so made a slight detour and Mrs Y'stassie scurried up the track and snaffled Xavier from his hiding spot in the grass. On her way back to the car she got some strange looks from the dog walking muggles who were coming the other way.

As Xavier has not other logs we will claim {FTF} at 17:00. Thanks for another large moveable and the opportunity to add some more valuable scavenge points to the Tasmanian total.
