Sitting back on lockdown for Covid and filling in time with Puzzles and locationless caches.
This one was a better idea as it did not take much to find one.
And as a bonus it was actually Ted E.Bear, a very popular teddy indeed. Wink
Thanks for the walk around outside and the cache Dinomus Prime,
Roostaman.

What a great idea at any time but especially in our present circumstances, found this not far away but there are lots of these guys in my area.
Thanks for placing this event. Clapping

Out on a walk today after the rain had stopped and I spotted a bear. Luckily I had been on the lookout earlier in the week so I knew where to go, however many more bears were out today ( or should I say inside but looking out) TFTC another fun one tn_69821430772.jpeg

We didn't think we would see a bear anywhere near us as we live on a highway on acreage and the neigbours can't be seen. Luckily Mr W saw this bear in a paddock on his essential 8 km walk with the geo grand dog. Thanks for the fun locationless. Mr W took a photo to show me (not knowing this cache existed), which has been added to the gallery. It made our day.

Geodad came running up the stairs with the cry of "We're going on a bear hunt!" We had seen quite a few in our street as a hunt was requested a week or so ago. And here we are!

The geokids and I found a bear in our street late in the day. Geoboy was not keen to have his mug in the shot...so he took the shot. Great idea for this crazy time. I hope there are more like it.

I have been enjoying reading all the logs and seeing all of the different photos! Thank you all for attending today's Teddy Bear Hunt Cache!

We are still in quarantine so could not go for a walk to check out the neighbor's bears. Fortunately we do still have two old bears - one belonging to Mrs Y'stassie and the other to Mr Y'stassie. As it was quite cold today the two Y's old bears are sitting in the window with their knee blanket keeping them warm. Blanket was knitted by Mrs Y'stassie's late mother many years ago.

Thanks for this virtual event DinomusPrime. It was good to be able to attend from the warmth of our home.

Cold and raining outside so I placed this bright little teddy in the window, but it was very difficult to take a photo without the reflection behind me.
Thank you very much DinomusPrime for this delightful virtual event to brighten up the isolation from the dreaded virus.

Went for a longer walk today to get out of the house and found this bear collection a couple of blocks from home. The only one spotted though, but a lot of houses around seem empty as things are being sold to developers in this area, and a lot are older Federation homes set back on big blocks with trees out the front blocking the view. The sadder thing is the lack of cats to talk to in the area these days when out walking, there used to be a few around but mine is one of the few left. Thanks DinomusPrime.

We're too rural for any kids to find a bear at our location but we could still get involved in the virtual event. Found this teddy in a cache and because it was in the motorhome, this is where the pic was taken. You'd need some eagle eyed kids to spot this tiny teddy... it's small enough to sit on a GPS (sadly dusty from lack of use) Sad

The latest addition to my cuddle muggle's bear menagerie escaped captivity this morning to wish passers by a good morning as they partake of their daily exercise walk around the block.

This Teddy really wants out but he thought it best to just look out the window.

Such a great idea, both the bears and this cache. Here's one I found trying to get out of the house and into the honey.

Spotted this in our "across-the-road" neighbours' window. Love the world wide idea giving the kids something to look for. Thanks for the Virtual Event DinomusPrime

First to Attend at 8:29am on 5 April 2020 while at home

I noticed this event yesterday while I was logging my attended log for the event: End of Daylight Savings 2020 (GA14576). This morning I woke up and remembered that that this event was today and that, I could attend another event in this crazy time. I missed out on the 'First To Attend Find' because someone else had already logged an attended log. Anyway, I can still enjoy adding this to my list of finds. As for the Teddy Bear, this was one of my first childhood teddies and still in great shape. TFTE Very Happy
