Description

A Gadget cache hide for the 2020 Game of Games - July edition.

The cache is at the posted co-ords, however to get to the log and sign it you'll need to be able to open the box.  Simple?    Maybe?    You won't need any special tools, just some patience in case it does take a couple of attempts.   Parking is available at S35 16.179 E149 04.522

Things like this can be fragile, so please take care and don't force anything.   Just have fun, be patience and it shouldn't be long and you'll be writing your name in the log.

Once you have signed the log, put everything back together and re-hide the container ready for the next finder.

A quick find with Black Bunny this morning. This one was tricky to open but we soon had a way in to sign the log.

Thanks for the cache Sol de lune.

This one required a little examination of the cache to find the way in but after close examination of the cache we soon were able to sign the log.

Thanks for the cache and the challenge Sol de lune.

After a great Retreat, in Murrumbateman, over the weekend and still with some free time on my hands, I decided on heading into Canberra for the next couple of days after it. Monday 23/11, main focus was the older caches around the ACT which sort of panned out but with extra caches that I couldn’t pass by changed that. It was a great day visiting various places that I hadn’t and many others that I have. I also avenged my DNF on GC8PRBB and I found out that I am the first person to find this cache since August. Big Grin The only problem was that there was rain to begin the day but it cleared up pretty quickly. With Geocaching, a small spot of shopping and meal breaks it lead into a great day out. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and others enjoyment. Big Grin TFTC’s and TFTTP’s Big Grin

This one took longer to find the cache, then to solve the puzzle. I have seen that puzzle many times over the years, including before I started Geocaching. TFTC Very Happy

After a long day some caching on the way home was called for, so a few stops around Aranda. This was my last stop. I have a very similar box from Cuba, which I bought with this same purpose in mind Smile might see that out there some time, eventually. In any case this help as I knew what needed to be done. THanks for the fun SDL

I picked up Smittengranny to head out to grab a couple of GA caches this afternoon. When I left home I am sure the sun was shining, but by the time we go to GZ it was raining and we were glad we both had umbrellas. So I kept the cover over Smittengranny while she worked her magic to get to the logobook. Cool gadget cache and the container, and all were in good condition. Thanks again Sol for a fun find Smile

Out with Kittykatch this afternoon and this was our main target, but managed to pick up a moveable on the way. A quick find and eventually had the log in hand. Thanks for this one Sol de Lune. DancingDancingDancingClan CerberusClan CerberusClan Cerberus

That was tricky to open. I sort of knew what to do, but things were reluctant to cooperate. Maybe because of the damp weather. Finally got some action though and was able to sign the log. TFTC Sol de lune.
