Bayside Spelling Bee - C is for Cougars Cleveland, Queensland, Australia
By madmyers on 15-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10CTF

The MadMyers had a computer meltdown about 6 months ago. Yes we did back up all our files on a regular basis. But there were two files that did not save correctly at the last back up and despite the best efforts of several paid computer professionals we cannot get them back. One of these files was the clues for the Bayside Spelling Bee. Which means we no longer have the solution for the letters and their matching symbols. So what we have decided to do is disable any that get muggled. The others we will leave as they are with the cache page altered to reflect they are now stand alone caches.

Like previous 3 geocachers we could not find this one. Appears to be muggled.

Found the spot using the co-ordinates needs to be visited to determine if it has been muggled.

after much hunting - could not find this one alas it may be lost

NOT entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Looked around, had a seat and looked around some more. No prize. Bugger.

Boy it was windy here today. Didn't stop the local muggles though. Geoson had this one worked in 30 secs.

I guess the Cougars aren't the local remote control plane club who were all out flying the craft. TFTC

Found in the company of Alchemy2, Ozcymru and driver Everlasting, Thanks for organised the hunt.

Accompany with Sevabo, Ozcymru and Everlasting the driver. Found it nicely and easy. TFTC.

No 3 of 12 on a sunny Tuesday. Just seem to be putting my hand straight on those caches so far today! Quick sign and note the clue then off. Funny sight as I left the park. A couple of dogs walking their muggle were being followed...by the local persian cat! The things ya see when ya geocache! Thanks for the series madmyers - svn07

A quick dash from the car to the spot. A dog walker must have wondered "what the hell". It must have looked so stupid!

Clear skies, and TFTC madmyers from TeamAstro.

Found this one OK, noted the clue. TFTC

We had a nice walk through here on this fine Saturday. Daughter enjoyed looking for this cache. Beware of sharp glass pieces in the area when searching (we removed the ones we found), a leather glove would be advised.

I left the comfort of the Mystery Machine to find this cache and afetr a brief walk on had the cache in hand.

TFTC

After hearing the undies story first hand from jabes today, I couldn't wait to see them myself. I was rather disappointed when jabes pointed out that the council must have tidied up and remulched... apart from pieces of broken glass, no undies.... but the cache we found at least.
TFTC

Weren't sure if we were going to be able to search for this one as there were a lot of muggles close by when we arrived to find it. We decided to just do a walk by to get close to GZ. We only had to wait a couple of minutes for everyone to disappear so we could start the search. Nice easy find in the end.

One more down in this series for us. Slowly working our way through them.

Ah yes but maybe C is for Courage when looking for this one and I wondered why jabes7 replanted the underjocks back with the cache though??? This was a really easy cache by the mm gang. Another one in the company of THE GREEN GECKO who with one wrong digit in her GPS was heading for the timber country to the NE. Ha ha ha, those GECKOS love to climb! TFTC TNLN

LOL reading the previous log. Weroamin also had to deal with the under garment whilst locating the cache. Glad I had chosen the wrong side to look. TFTH

Well, found this one today, but I had to gingerly remove a pair of Playboy jocks to uncover the cache... gross! Never-the-less, an easy find. TNLN Thanks MMs

Seventh spelling bee for the day. So much for a concerted effort, I found six 'other' caches along the way. I guess I'm just living up to my Gemini status as flighty and easily distracted. Retrieved the cache easily, TN/LN/SL photographed the clue and then had to wait for muggles to pass by. That didn't take long. If you were a couple of young girls, you probably wouldn't want to hang around a park bench where a guy is sitting, almost hidden by a tree, with a camera ... musta looked bad, but what could I do ?

Took in a little cricket and then made for the cache.

TFTF plenty of muggles today a easy find

A gentle stroll to stretch the legs and an easy find.

Here with Moneydork

Thanks for another Bayside cache.

another quick find in the rain.

thanks bitsprayer

The place was full of cricketing muggles today so we had to be a bit stealthy. Found it after a bit of a search. T Gecko, L Doll. TFTC!

Found easily - nice area in here. Thanks

Found Ok

Pleasant stroll across to this one. The Geokid had it in hand before Steve & Mrs Steve made it to GZ! We had to sit and wait a bit for passing muggles to move on before we could put it back.

No swaps this time, thanks for the cache!

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 2:03pm. Quite an easy walk and a seat to sit on while writing the log. Just my type of cache. In: dinosaur Out: bubbles TFTC

Found this one easily. Had to wait for some cyclists to pass by before we could check the contents. Took horse and car, left bubbles, some water balloons and a car. TFTC

Yet another beautiful surburnan park I never knew existed..I live only 3 kms away. Thanks MM.

Found the cache at 1.50pm. another lovely park. TNLNSL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

With our brand new GPS we set off to begin a new day of caching - free of any dropouts under trees!!

Took: frog
Left: blue car

Find 19/25 today

Cunningly concealed. TNLN. Thanks madmyers

A nice easy find. The was a cricket match happening but no boundaries so we safely avoided their notice. But the were a number of muggle walkers to look out for. But we were able to duck in and out with out notice. TNLN. TFTC.

2nd Find of the series. Geo Jack found this one.

Cheers

There were some muggles marking the ground today. I was looking for a regular and was impressed it was hidden where the GPS was pointing, but never fear, its a small. Odd that the seat would be facing that way isn't it? I parked quite close, down Island Street. Found at 9:20am. Thanks MM! TNLN.

Dam those muggles. The children cleavly concealed themselves while hunting for the cache untill it was safe to emerge. TFTC.

Camels eating coconuts, c, c, c.

By this time of day it was obvious that we weren't going to make it to the grocery shop on time! HOW DISAPPOINTING! [^] We parked near by and the geoboys were so inspired by the muggles on the pitch that they ran and "bowled" their way along the bike track.

Mumma NANKS actually found this one! We swapped a purple frog for a turquoise frog while muggles and their dogs walked past us oblivious to our actions.

Thanks to the raving and riotous ones!

Gimme a 'C' [:o]
Didn't see any cougars along the bike track today. The GPS was chopping off the cache name right at the critical point so I thought the 'C' stood for something much more obvious at GZ. After not finding the cache on the obvious 'C' I searched nearby
The model gliders were flying nearby too, nice to sit and watch them fly

aaaargh!,First to PLUNDER!,
at pirate scall C is for 'CUTLASS'
thanks MM.

This was my 22nd of 23 finds for the night, found at 11:07pm.

This proved to be the easiest find of the night for me... a short walk to GZ with the wind blowing, cooling me down... and then when I got to GZ it was in the first place I looked and there were no spiders! Yay!

Published

21:20 - #11 for the night and there was not a soul around. We were scratching around a little while for this one and even scratching our head a little as we were looking for a regular cache (It in fact turned out to be small).... after looking a little closer we found it.

Thanks to the madmyers for the cache. Thats # 11 for us.
