Sorry guys going to archive this one.. its more trouble than its worth. I am unable to find any better spots to hide this one.
I went to check this cache this mornign and its definately gone. I have looked around the area to see if there is another spot to hide it and couldn;t find one.. I will work on building a cache that blends into the surroundings so its not as obvious.
Otherwise if I have no luck with that it could be on the list to archive....
Stay tuned.

As there has been 2 DNF's on this cache I will temp disable it and as I am in that area tomorrow(tuesday 3rd Nov ) I will go and check it out.
Ozzie Bear & Mr Snoop really enjoyed the counting session and I think our Maths were accurate enough to take us to GZ. What we found at the base of a large tree seemed like the remnants of a muggled cache - things like small rubber snake & various little trinkets but we were unable to find a cache container at all.
Ozzie Bear and I sorted out the co-ordinates for the first part of this little project but come away empy handed on the second part.
Ozzie Bear often screws up the coordinate math and I sometimes just haven't any idea so sometimes we get a little lost but we usually win in the end
We belive the cache to have been muggled as there were cache type trinkets laying on the ground at the base of GZ, Although I am definately no Sherlock Holmes I do make the assumption that an individual older than a child did the cache in as I figure a child would keep cache and contents not distribute cache content all over immediate area. Still i could be wrong and we just missed it, what els is new?
In the mean time we await Red Paws Response.
It was still fun though.
Cheers.

Great fun trying to count wooden slats! Good thing Indiana and i were able to come to an immediate agreement on the number!
Cache was found quickly in the night!

Too many slats to count. Especially in the dark with dodgy torches. But nevertheless we prevailed! Easy find after some quick maths before heading to the GZ.

Found today at 1.50pm with my son. All he could do was laugh at me while i was counting the wooden slats. LOL, then upon doing the math, located GZ. He gave the search up early & wanted to go. My persistence paid off. Took Whistle, left snake. SL TFTC
Nice easy stroll in the park, took England doll thing, left hammerhead shark.
RedPaw64 Was in the area, so I decided to do a maintenance check on this cache at 3.30pm. All in order..
Happy Caching

Found at 1.40pm GAFF1. We were in counting mode so this was just another "walk in the park". We didn't miss a beat on these counts and just shows that practice makes perfect! Thanks RedPaw64.
As per the last log the tree has been removed no sign of the cache.
Thanks RedPaw64,

Hmmm... GZ seems to have dissappeared. The cache & its entire hiding spot as wellI suspect, from the looks of recent works in the area. That is if we had the right spot
Did the counting ok but then got the maths wrong (inevitable at some point!) I soon realised and before long had the cache in hand after a decent dig. Rehid it accordingly. Only a couple of muggle dog-walkers this am. Thanks RedPaw64.
This cache is ready to go. A few changes to this and lets hope nothing happens to Version 2.
Good Luck

Appears that this cache has been destroyed by a muggler. Will check out area to decide if I will replace.
Thanks Team Rubik for alerting me to this

Well I made it to GZ and found the cache quite esaily, it was strewn all over the grass! Every page had been ripped from the log book and there were few items of value remaining. The cache lid and a mondo were all I could salvage, I had hoped to drop them off in another cache nearby for the owner but I couldn't find one large enough.
I'm sorry to say but this is well and truly destroyed.

We parked the car at the recommended spot and headed off to wpt 1.A few more slats here than we had anticipated so instead of doing a lot of maths we tried the Rabbitto style Leap of Faith, and this time it paid off when Diane walked straight o the cache.
Had no stickers to seap so TNLNSL
Thanks again RedPaw64

When we pulled up in our car, across the road someone was working in their garden. They kept their eye on us for quite some time (and again when we returned). Very strange.
Alan-san, muggle friend Scott, and myself all counted independantly and came up with the same answer - very unusual. We were confident that we were all correct, and headed to GZ for a quick find. No exchange was made. Thanks for the cache.

G'day to Redpaw64,
Our 5th Redpaw64 cache was found at 12:50pm as cache 7 of 26 on our Bellarine Blitz IV. An easy walk to GZ but we were approaching the final co-ords just as a man and his dog was approaching from the other side. I suddenly had to stop and do some lengthy adjustment of my shoes and socks until they had long gone. Thanks for the cache.
Kind Regards,
D & S B-A

Found by Roma and Max.
We were studiously counting objects and didn’t notice a gentleman walker until he spoke! He was polite enough not to ask what we were doing while we chatted!
Finishing our calculations we proceeded to GZ for another easy find.
In: Mondo Figurine.
Out: Heart Stamp Marker.
Thanks once more, RedPaw64.

Twenty-fourth of thirty-two cache finds in company with dak’s Emu Mob on our Wednesday assault around Geelong and the Bellarine peninsula. The Cache Was found at 18:10. We got to the sticks and started counting, how hard could it be, I lost count the second time as a Muggle came past. Thankfully the cache was a little easier to find.
Thanks RedPaw64 for the cache.

Twentieth of twenty-eight finds in company with acts2youthgroup on our usual Wednesday assault. We counted the 'sticks' at WP1 twice each. We settled on the number, and set off to GZ. We found it in the obvious place at 1810. I made no exchange. Thanks to RedPaw64 for the cache. Cheers, dak.
Found 14:15, another pleasant stroll and a nice easy find.
TNLN, thanks RedPaw64.
TNLN, thanks RedPaw64.
Oenze and I came up with conflicting counts and had to repeat the task again before agreeing. After that it was no trouble locating cache. thanks redpaw
4th find of the day at 10:32am. on our clean up Geelong and the Surf Coast Expedition accompanied by Feathertop.We had to do the sums twice at waypiont 1 because I cant seem to count properly and then had a race to GZ but Owen won and found the cache in no time at all. TNLN, Signed Log. Thanx RedPaw64....
Found by caughtatwork at 1:38
Well, we got three different sets of numbers for the first waypoint. I couldn't see the point in recounting them, so we gave up and headed to GZ via a look and see method.
GabGab came across the cache as soon as we arrived at the most predictable location.
Took nothing, left nothing as we didn't have any stickers.
Thanks RedPaw64.

We all got different numbers at the wooden work, so we made our way over to the most likely place and I found the cache first. We didn't have any stickers, so we didn't swap anything. Thank you RedPaw64.
Found today after getting sore calfs from walking over planks of wood.
Thanks for the cache.
Didn't sign log book though.

Found today by Mr Emu & son @ 11.15 a.m. GAFF1, on this nice day for a walk. Glad to see we can still count (although it took 2 goes to get our answers to agree!)
Took: Some Australia stamps
Left: Fish & Dog stamps
Thanks for the cache RedPaw64, and for showing us a new park in Geelong where we can get our bikes out.

On our way home now (heading north). A tough day at the beach, now a few caches to finish with. Between the three of us we nearly got the same answer for the count (it was close). Deciding on a consensus (the person with the GPS took his number) we were off to a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
Found this one at 7:40 before the heat arrived later today. I couldn't help wondering how many people were watching me counting the slats with my trusty cache probe and thinking "oh, look at that poor blind man" !!
TNLNSL. Thanks RedPaw64.

Found by Mary & David at 0935. Glad we didn't have to walk too far in this heat. Giggle, count, giggle, count. Mary had a different total to David. Try again. Yep, Mary lost her place. A very pretty spot with the green reeds and peppercorn trees. TN, left RAAF Roulettes sticker. Our thanks to RedPaw64.
Found this after Maccamob who were smart enough to come earlier on this EXTREMELY hot day. We got the coordinates and continued to the cache which luckily had some shade not to far away. Then went and visited family members with air con
Thanks for the cache, RedPaw. Left a dolphin sticker & took a fire brigade sticker.

We managed to arrive just as the first drops of the change began to come through so we avoided the worst of the heat.
Thanks very much

GAFF 1 GeoJo was on the ball with this one, I think she had it in hand before the ink was dry, well done. GeoJo wrote in the log that the cache was partly uncovered yesterday and the same today but is covered now.Put in a NSW Rural Fire Brigade (Coal & Candle Volunteer Fire Brigade)sticker and removed the Geocaching sticker.Cole & Candle have a web site which may interest some people.Thanks RedPaw64 for another well thought out local cache.Bushfire had better get moving!!
Another new cache in the Geelong area - this time I was determined to be the first to find ! Know this area very well as my previous caching HQ was close by. Got my counting right the first time, and cache was located soon after. Took geocoin and left geocaching sticker. Thanks RedPaw64!
