Having been buried for quite a while I decided it best to move him on to a peaceful place known for rescuing animals.

I am going to use this find to claim a reqirement in the current GCA Geosportz Game. That required me to ride here on my trusty steed. However I tethered him up high so that he didn't drown.

Thanks for this moveable Nessell. He will be safe here. Clan Cerberus

It's gone now. More to follow.
I am home and checking out my cache of caches that I found today. There were 7 moveables in all. This little fellow took for ages to find as we have had lots of wind and rain since he was last found and he had tried to bury himself to avoid it. I wonder if I can use him in the current GCA Geosportz Game. I will have to see. Thanks Nessell for releasing him into the big wide world. I did give him a good wash before finding him a new resting place. DancingDancingClan CerberusClan Cerberus
 
Admin review only - as stated by the previous finder, this moveable is still in location. So, it's out there and ready to be found again...cache on.

I set off enthusiastically, with one of my dogs in tow. A nice day for a short walk, I thought, with a cache at the end of it - ideal.
I found the best parking spot after only driving around the block twice (pretty good for me). I let the dog out of the car, attached the leash, and off we went. We walked past a sign that said "off-leash area" and I thought perhaps on the way back....

Ground zero was in the middle of metre-high, thick grass, with grass seeds everywhere, and no way to see what I might be stepping into. Apart from the seeds that Teddy collected with his long coat, no issues. No cache, either. I hastily read the hint, and went looking for a log. Finally, I found one, half-buried under grass, and with a few branches. I poked fairly thoroughly in every crevice and under every overhang (with a stick - I don't have a death wish), but Emma was nowhere to be found. Oh, well, I thought. At least I've had a walk, and Teddy seems happy enough. And then I remembered the sign about off-leash. I removed the leash, and the Big Baby took off. I shouted, I called, I threatened, but Teddy made a beeline for the car, and NOTHING was going to get in his way. I puffed along behind, getting further and further away from him. FINALLY, I reached the car, luckily parked in a quiet side street with almost no traffic, and my big brave boy was circling the car at a fair speed, trying to find an opening. I let him in, and then had to explain to a neighbour who had just pulled in that I wasn't really a dognapper, and I didn't make a habit of letting him roam around unsupervised, while I tried to catch my breath at the same time.

So at the end of all that, I have no cache and no reliable walking partner, but I DO have quite a lot of heavy grooming ahead of me to get some of the grass seeds out of a thick, long coat. I have learned a lesson about letting Teddy loose when he is out without his little furry friend, though. Smile

A quick drive to place this one here in small company in early December.

I took the caches a little while ago (sorry!) and didn't like the idea of them being such a huge bag all together in one spot (looked a bit like garbage when I found them near Hall). So I fetched a plan to put them out more dispersed some places in nature and so over summer I did. Now getting around to log them.

Again I am very sorry for anyone (mainly andrewbt I think) who went looking in vain and the CO thinking it was gone. I am often a bit behind logging but not that much usually, there were just overwhelmingly many in that bag.

It's not gone - learned today it'll be put out shortly!

Came up to grab the caches here and move them along - appears to have already been done?

Whilst I was heading out to ac caching run along the chocolate road, I stopped past a familiar spot and sopped of a small collection of moveables for someone else to be able to visit as they leave or arrive in the ACT.

Thanks

I took the chance to visit a well known GCA pickup point and located a nice haul of moveable caches. I hope to put these out again tomorrow.

Thanks

picked up. Parked at start of the track after exiting the NP after camping there for 4 nights. With the campertrailer on we were lucky there was room to park. Walked along the bike track. It took a bit of looking but MrT spotted it. Taking it back to the Blue Mountains, then to Ebenezer on the 25th.
