No luck for us today either, given that the owner hasn't logged on in nesrly twelve months, it's probably time for this one to go.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

I got cob webby to the elbows and no luck. With the few DNF's on record in recent months, this needs checking/replacing or archiving.
 
06-Mar-11
Add us to the list of DNFs. We couldn't spot anything and didn't want to stick our hands where we couldn't see what we were touching, so it's possible the cache is there but has been pushed out of reach? We really need to buy ourselves one of those mirror thingies!
 
25-Feb-11
another add for DNF.... had a good long look with another cacher and nothing.

Def gone baby gone
 
03-Feb-11
Falling asleep on the way home meant I needed to stop before becoming a statistic. Unfortunately I think that's what has happened to this cache.

I searched with my fingers and I searched with my geocacher's friend - no luck. Unless it's not in the obvious location then this one is gone baby gone.
 
11-Jan-11
Unable to find after thorough searching, may have been muggled

We've known this one has been here for ages, but it's never been the right time to look for it. Today, Caz' birthday, while we were visiting Da Works, it became THE TIME, and she went in for a quick and easy find wile no-one was around. TNLN. Thanks Da Frizz.

#68 for Schnail:

There was really only one place it could have been but I didn't see it at first. Red Face So I spent about 10min pretending to wait for someone whilst analysing and searching the remaining potential locations. Was about to give up when I decided to give the first place one last check - lo and behold there it was! I swear the caches remain invisible for a set period of time before they decide to reveal themselves.

TN Left tape measure and SL. TFTC!

How is it that I came for a 4 day conference nearby, had my kids in after school care and STILL only managed one geo-cache?????
Well first there was the embarrassing parking fine I had to pay in the city, then there was the stuff I needed to get at Office Works and didn't know this one was here!!
Pick up the teenage daughter from her school.....and "..but I have a test tomorrow!""
ARrrrrrrgh Well today I did one ..only time for one but oh well one is better than none!
dropped off TB who wants to see some more Australian animals I think...we took it to see kangaroos!

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, The Rats and Steeba on our Adelaide invasion trip. We parked right next to this one and once we got over our fear of power cables the cache was a quick find.

Thanks Da Frizz for the cache.

I was on my way home for the evening and realised I was going to be driving straight past this cache. I called in, used the sign for cover, fondled around reluctantly amongst the spider webs before locating it. A quick log and return and I was on my way again.

18-Jul-09
first attempt was too early on Saturday and carpark was full. Came back at 6pm and it's perfect. A short wait for the 3 donut eating security cars to go then a quick retrieve. Thanks. Difficult should be much higher due to muggles.

Directly opposite the nice vegetarian restaurant where I was eating. Really only one place this could be but I still managed to convince myself it was elsewhere for a good 5 minutes before coming to my senses. Thanks.

best after the shops close TFTC

Tricky one to get on a busy afternoon but the old sit and pretend to talk on a mobile phone helped to secure the cache.

2nd visit first time too busy on a saturday. This time on a tuesday. Some gentleman locked his keys in the car so had to duck in and out of the cache site with stealth before the RAA got there. Found okay and TFTC Took Rubber Left Gecko
 
05-Mar-09
1773. Managed to park very close and made the find in between muggles doing what muggles do around places like this - jam up carparks and stare at anybody out in the open. Quick find nonetheless.

TFTC and the concrete jumble of cars.
 
02-Mar-09
If the Prado had been a Porsche we wouldn't have had to get out of the car. Neat hide. Thanks for the cache.
 
28-Feb-09
Cunningly placed, I had to ask Kate who Flat Stanley was. Once she told me, it was a moment's work to wait for a clearing in the traffic, and retrieve the cache. Trinketry exchange was effected, leaving the menthol crystals in a little bottle, and an aluminium disc of no significance. The shiny pink reflector now adorns Kate's bike.

Nice one. Thanks for the cache.

Found this one tonight at 6:00pm. An empty nearby carpark made the retrieval quite easy, and thanks to the cover provided by the item at GZ, all of the cars passing would've been none the wiser to what I was up to. Smile Thanks for the cache! TNLNSL.
