Description

Frog on a stick like a dagwood frog !

'Leap Frog' -- the Moving Cache Race -- December 2011 until January 2012
   
Please don't hang on to the Frog for very long. If possible, re-hide the Frog on the same day you find it. At most, please find a new hiding place within 48 hours.
   
Remember that 'moveables' are meant to be found! Don't choose a difficult hiding place, or one that's far off the beaten path. Pick a place that completely out of sight of muggles, but which can be reached easily by frog hunters. And give a good clue!
   
This way, Leap Frogs will move on their way quickly and safely!
   
Enjoy!

No rush, but if the opportunity for him to head northwards it would be good.

Sticky is hiding right next to the side of the ice rink, between the concrete and some vegetation. From the big smile on his face, he must be looking forward to a night of skating.
 
19-Jan-12
We found Sticky just where he had been left - happily sunning himself in the midst of a clum of grass (or sedge). He thought that skating ont he mountain seemed like a good idea.

When you find this frog, please take care to ensure the the stick comes with it. Unlike me, of course, who managed to lose the stick in that grass that looks a bit like cutting grass but isn't, and then took 5 minutes to find it! Embarassed

After watching "The Muppets" (and being most impressed by it!), it seemed quite appropriate to find a frog.

Kept him together with Frog A Log and Prince Charming, as they seemed to like the company. Just as I was about to place them, I met this man who completely creeped me out. I walked to the end of the street then and came back, and he was nowhere to be seen, so I hid them. I think I just pressed mark waypoint and left, it was only after I left I realised I didn't average or take a few readings or anything. So go to the big tree, at the base of the side closest to Mt Wellington.

Found in a nicely concealed spot. Quick to find though which was good, as it was starting to rain.

Sorry for the delay in getting this back out and about. You are looking for a little pool of three frogs having some fun together. Three for the price of one!!!!!!

Was in Launceston on work and decided to drive back via the east coast to visit my parents. Collected this frog on the way.

Anyway, a new log signature, and one anyone who saw play school as a kid would know.

Mr Frog jumped out of the pond one day
And found himself in the rain
Said he, "I'll get wet and I might catch a cold."
So he jumped in the pond again.

This sticky frog decided that he was going to watch the watchers and keep an eye on a nearby cache...
 
01-Jan-12
Found this frog far from where it was placed. It (apparently) hopped into a bag and was put into the NTrailTB and transported to Launceston where it has been partying and seeing in the New Year in comfort at a swank motel room. These partying frogs were given a choice of wine or beer or mixed spirits.....
Once they recover, we will put them back out.

This frog had just been rehidden and as Sirius got back in the car another vehicle pulled on front of ours to park. Female got out and proceeded to change her clothes and abuse Sirius for 'looking'. He wasn't! Please someone rescue this frog before it is witness to worse! Ribbit
 
29-Dec-11
Found him. Sirius was siriusly in need of new caching goggles with this one. Maybe the cache was too big for him to see? EmbarassedRibbit

Found on an after expedition to find a few frogs. Two in tools a street, one near jabs house and a couple hidden by white webs in Howrah. Surprisingly I came home with 8 as jabs had few there as I called through to collect esconde from his letterbox. So a good night by all accounts!!!!

Anyway here is my log signature

Well the vets attempted to remove the object but it was wedged in too tight. Guess its there to stay. Released from hospital and back out in the sunshine.
 
19-Dec-11
Outside our vet hospital!...by the look of where the stick is protruding from he is definately going to need surgery ... better admit him for the night and get a vet to check him in the morning...An after hours vet consultation isnt cheap Shocked ... who do I send the bill to?? Very Happy

Hi UncleTom3
Well, this frog hunter woke early this morning and "hopped" out of bed and "lept" into the cache mobile and headed to ground zero.
An easy find was had at 0605hrs.
A bit foggy this morning in Huonville but fine around the Channel.
Will move on soon.
To you and yours; a safe Festive Season.
Cheers OldSaint.

'Here looks good, a pool, shade, tropical palms and flowers, what more could a frog want'

Frog on a stick is located in the 'Froggy Resort' on our property about 5 meters in from the gate, you are welcome to visit and pry the frogs away, I fear that they will never want to leave!

Picked up on the way home. 'Its to busy on this highway' he said, 'take me somewhere peaceful'. Ribbit So off we went.....

Moved this cute frog a short hop down the river. She's near the bridge to nowhere which can now, however briefly, be considered a bridge to a frog. Ribbit

Collected this frog this morning. What flavour you ask; why frog flavour of course! Ribbit
