Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Since there has been no owner activity on this cache page and it has been over 30 days since the request to perform maintenance, this cache has been archived. Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your further participation in the future.

i am going to have a look at this cache asap after hearing stories of it being wet.

Another find for TrixiesMama whilst I was still scratching my head about where it was.
We left a sticky note with our names on it in lieu of a log. Cache in -serious- need of maintenance, log book has been waterlogged so long it's starting to rot and smells awful. Completely trashed.

TNLN TFTC!

omg. its wet, it smells, the coordinates were wrong, its t-r-a-s-h-e-d.....

still, it only took me about 3 minutes to find.

took nothing, left a gold bobby pin

FIX UP THE CACHE PUH-LEEEEZE!

Gave up on this cache and went back to the car. Then our stubborn sides kicked in and we decided the bloody thing wasn't going to beat us. Should have taken more notice of logs because it was much further to the north than the crappy given coords. Contents swimming in a pool of water. Dried out as best we could. Must be a sh** of a park as it is school holidays and not a kid muggle in sight.

Bah! Not worth looking for this one in the dark after midnight! Cars keep roaring past at insane speeds!

Nice easy find in a quiet park (no one around today)

Stop 13 on our Southern Invasion Tour in Tassie, day 3.
Found, re-hid a little more, as it was exposed.
Fun, no bloody fun here, hard to get to the right spot, walked up that huge big hill, only to find there was a fast way in, but... nothing else nice about this one!!

Our GPS seemed to be out a liitle with co ordinatiions ,but easy enough to locate.
Good spot to let the ruggies run around .

Most responsible owners grab a plastic bag and remove crap from parks, others add a log book and pen and stick it under a tree.

R - B

We looked and looked and couldn't find it. Maybe we will try again another day.

What a Jakass of a cache!!! TNLN
Thanks for nothing Jaktas

We couldn't even find this waste of time...

Had a bit of a look-see for this crummy cache but only gave it a half assed effort with Hoojar. But you did give us some what of an idea for a cache around our own town.
At least we got something out of the time waste it was.

What more can I say to the cache owner who wants bad comments! I hate caches in parks when kids are around and I hate hiding in the undergrowth while nearby house owners wonder what I might be up to.
Glad to get this one off the list
cheers!

It was early on a Sunday morning but there were still plenty of muggles passing by, we could only look in between the gaps and after about 20 minutes we decided to give this one up, maybe next time

Found in the dark and it was raining, coordinates pathetic and a crap hide.
Thanks jaktas

Found on the second visit, after a heads up about the coordinates LOL

Also a lot easier when the local muggles aren't home.

TFTC!

felt a right geo-fool wandering up and down shining my touch up into the trees, could I see the cache? no!
reading the logs got me looking in a different spot and I eventually found the cache fairly easily 10 or so metres north. coordinates might need updating?

Found by Sirius while the rest of the team provided muggle distraction on the equipment. Every member of the team tried the equipment and all came away having fallen off the round spinny thing. Talk about dangerous. Thanks for the cache. Cheers Quilter

Bloody parks. Who in their right mind wants to go to another blody park to find a cache hidden in another bloody obvious spot 10 metres north of said stupid coordinates,HUH, tell me that will you. Left spider, hope it bites someone.

Hmmm if you want negative logs I am happy to oblige.. lol.. XC stopped here hoping for an easy find.. Parked rental nearby and walked up to GZ... Hmmm couldn't make anything of the clue.. Muggles walking by so had to be reasonably discreet... Searched in all likely spots where I would hide it but no luck.
XC is not used to Aussie hides yet..
Maybe I will come back.
Thanks for nothing.. lol... (Cheers)

Found on our second attempt - no thanks to the listed coordinates. I frankly don't know why we bothered... except that gee-oh was keen on having another very fun time in the park. Speaking of which, we were pleased to see that, according to the signs in the park, it is suitable for him to have fun there now. It must've been our imagination last time.
NTFTC (No Thanks For The Cache!).

Found surprisingly easy with not a muggle in sight...which was the only good thing I could say...caches like this are just a menace..glad to have found to be able to cross off my list...and never to visit this darn place again.Cheers jaktas.

I set out to find a friend's missing bank card but ended up here.
Found the cache shortly after arriving.
Thanks Jaktas

Found this cache after a brief search and after I consulted the clue. I'd actually describe it as small not micro, which makes it a bit easier to find in its logical hide. Another nice Hobart Park! Thanks.

this one is so bad i cannot describe it.

Hi Jaktas, TFTC Found it ok and dropped off a TB and Geocoin. Great place for a cache.
TN SL

Ah... I've just noticed the comment about the cache now being 10m north of the coordinates.... [:(!] How about updating the published coordinates?

Anyway, although I am very cranky about not finding the cache, we did indeed have a lot of "fun in the park" on a warm and sunny afternoon.

Baah! Humbug! First I turn up to ground zero with a headache and two small red tags trying to find this "simple" cache while Mrs Red Tag is away enjoying herself, only to find that my GPS (our backup unit) kept losing the signal and shutting off! Then Mrs Red Tag & I turn up today and she finds it in about 10 seconds!!!!!!!!
THANKS for the cache Jaktas

Oh no! another cache in a children's play ground of course we did not have to go but we did and we run into a trouble. After searching in a wrong place which Magellan shown us, we finally found the cache totally exposed in a different spot. Thank you for this "fun in the park".

Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.

Aah thank goodness that one is finally over. After being a thorn in our side for ever, this excuse for a cache is finally found, logged and hereby deleted from our looking files. Took some junk jewelery piece and left a soccer ball, although why we bothered I just don't know.

Depressing isn't it?

Hmph don't talk to me about life.

yes its been a long wait (thanks for the reminders )but its up and running just go ten meters north of the Coordinate but do not go on the road it is in the park

Noticed all the dnfs so thought we might check to see if its still there and Yes it is. Our previous log may give a clue as to where to look!

i no i no


(im sorry i will defanatliy fix asap)



(there might be spellin mistakes)

Knock knock [?]

I will check this one out on the weekend

Hmm is this one hiding really well, or has it gone walk-about?

No fun in the park today for me, drizzling with rain crap place for a cache anyway. Cheers jaktas

well we certainly didn't have fun in the park. we looked high, low, under, over, through, betwixt, between - and then we looked again and again and we didn't find it!! Not happy....

Fun? Fun in the park? No... the axe that I found along a bit from GZ would have been better used to remove the vegetation. That way I wouldn't have to waste my time looking for the cache. TNLNSL.

mmm.. what can I say....
well I did find it in the rain!!

Cheers jaktas TFTC

First of nine finds on my second night in Hobart. What a cr@p cache! Apart from the obvious inadequacies of the location and container, the cache description is written in some sort of strange doggerel. The odd sprinkling of capital letters and punctuation would make it easier to read for those of us who are not illiterate morons! [:(!] I found it at 1820. I made no exchange. Thanks to jaktas for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Found this cache very easy, right on the spot with the GPS. Left a pin with a kangaroo.

Overcast, humid weather, annoying muggles, litter, broken tree branches and the "straw that broke the camel's back"? Mount Direction looming in the distance to mock el golco [:(!]
TNLNSL TFN jaktas!

#5 for the day. Road was too steep to ride up. Sun was too warm. Cache was too easy. Sog n Paulus stole the writing 'style' I wanted to do in my log. I didn't dislike it as much as I thought I would though. TNLNSL. Thanks for nothing jaktas.

Found on the way to The Special Haunting tonight as I had time to spare, should have gone and watched paint dry instead it would have been more fun and a better view!!!

Insanely hot day, but I wanted to get out and find jaktas's first cache! Plus I figured it would be too hot for muggles to want to go near a park (I was right).

Found all too easily. I can't believe you would dare put it there! Surely wasn't worth the hunt on such a hot day, only good thing was leaving the area and getting back into the cacheMobile's air conditioning.

we should nt of bothered with it but it was just down the road so we got it but we should nt of bothered cause it was too easy [cache is 10m further north from listed coords] and what a crap cache to be our 300th and a FTF
