Hi Guys,
Drove past this one today- the chances of a cache surviving the maintenance are very, very slight. This probably needs archiving.

Not sure what is going on here but when we got to the gates they were locked with "No access - construction zone" signs everywhere.
I nice easy find, but we had to wait for the muggle and her muggle kids to leave the oval. Found on the way home after attend the Gippsland Get-together Event Cache. TFTH...SL...TNLN
Not a muggle in sight, but it was really hot when I arrived & there was nowhere easy to kneel or place my hands without the risk of 3rd degree burns! In the end I decided that I needed to retrieve my caching gloves from the car & then it became an easy find - I could feel my way without worrying about any 6 or 8 legged bities! While there, Biggles303 & the Tealby B-Team spent some time on the oval throwing & kicking a ball about. TFTC.
Found this in the company of MrSnoop easily @ 4pm. With no footy or muggles around we had a trouble free search. TFTC We enjoyed this one as it was our first in Gippsland.
Found with OzzieBear at 4pm on a lovely sunny day. A nice trouble free find without any muggles to be a problem. TFTC
Grabbed this one on the way home from a hot days riding.
No-one silly enough to be out at the ground in the heat this
afternoon so had no troubles locating and siging log. Thanks
Wasptor for the search.

Easy find after trudging across a wet oval on a beautiful day. Lucky it was a Friday with no muggles around.
Fourth of eleven found on my way home to the big smoke.

Found with caughtatwork on the last day of our caching long weekend. We did a lap of the oval and found ourselves almost on top of it! It was then a quick & easy find. Thanks for the cache.
Not easy to retrieve this cache, the grounds were being watered, so there was a few muggles over the other side. TFTC
Found by caughtatwork at 10:02
After driving around the oval to get to GZ we were able to park with 1 meter of the cache and had in hand very quickly. It was just a choice of which one
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Wasptor for this cache experience. We guessed from the flagpoles that the Moe Lions must be quite successful if each one s for a premiership flag.

When we arrived a game of cricket was in progress, so as one watch the other used the cover to look for the cache. Cache seemed to had a bit of cache creep and was exposed, however we hid it back again in a more concealed spot. Now can someone tell us what colours the Moe Lions wore, the maroon or the dark blue?
Thanks again Wasptor for the cache.
Thanks again Wasptor for the cache.
Found @ 1845 after searching several likely spots. Not much action here today.

Well, that is one for the books! I actually found this one about 2 years ago and never logged it. It looked very familiar when I got to gz and I found the cache and checked it to be sure - yep - Found with Farmers5 about 2 years ago! This must set some sort of record for a belated logging? Thanks for keeping it there too Wasptor!
Drove right up to the cache (dont know if this is allowed) and soon had it in hand,

I was on my way to the Event at Churchill (which I thought started at 1200, but actually started at 1000) and figured I had time for a few on the way, so was having a quick cruise through Moe gathering some that didn't look as though they'd take too long. I was prepared for the local oval to be in use on a Sunday afternoon - and would have skipped this one if this had been the case; but all looked totally deserted and I was able to park virtually next to the cache and it yielded to a short search of a couple of likely looking objects.

We found our 9th Wasptor cache today at 7:45pm as the final of 14 on our Latrobe Valley Frenzy III. One for the record books for us. This one was offline on our Frenzy II. Today, it was 4th on the list but it pulled up to 3rd due to a DNF on cache 2. Unfortunately there was a football game in progess and someone was sitting at GZ so it too was pushed off the list. We were able to divert back in though in the end of the day and slotted back in at 14. Also, in the last four caches of the day we found our 9th cache for each of the Trunksnsuch, Crisp Image and now Wasptor teams. Thanks for the cache from D,H & A B-A.
could not find this one had 5 of us looking
will have to try again

After looking for the first one after it disappeared. I put this into the pointing machine again. Quick find on a day when not a soul was around. Tks
Found at 6:10PM on the 29th of Jan by Ray and Maya. Easy find, the co-ords were spot-on. Thanks for cache. The Nomads.
Found without a problem at 7.30am. Unsurprisingly it was much easier with the right co-ords.
Thanks
Thanks
Had another go on the way home from night shift. I realized this time that I was using the old coordinates so with it being 233 ft away it's hardly surprising I couldn't find it. This time some workers were rolling the cricket pitch so I didn't look. Maybe next time.
Looked for about 15 minutes but no find. Will try again when someone else has confirmed that it is still there.
Thanks anyway,
Thanks anyway,
No worries here with searching and finding this cache - absolutely no-one around today. A nice hide that would certainly be toughy on match days! SL at 4:40pm. Thanks again Wasptor for the cache.
Found by Mary & David at 1140. Glad to have this one replaced, as it was MIA at our previous visit. Coords took us straight top it this time. Go Lions! Our thanks to Wasptor.
Found at 09:45 - the forth cache on my weekend in the Latrobe Valley, and my second attempt at it this morning. The first time, the muggle groundskeeper was was attending to the pitch.
A quick find - I took the cache back to the Stealth GeoBeast to sign the log, and was stared at by a passing procession of locals on their way to vote - the sight of me fiddling with a small plastic bag in an abandoned carpark made it look like I was up to no good, I suppose. I wonder if my (ACT) number plate was noted.

744. Of course having lived in Sale, Bairnsdale and Traralgon, the Moe Lions weren't on the radar. Nice big oval and surrounds anyway.

My second visit here after being muggled off during a match ages ago. Just a linesman today and the cache was an easy find. Thanks wasptor.
#7 of 29 finds in company with acts2youthgroup on our 'East of Melbourne' Thursday adventure. We found this one at 1030. This one eluded us on our previous visit to the Valley, as it was missing. This time we had an easy find. There was an advertisement for a local flower shop in the cache, so we evicted that. Otherwise, I made no exchange. Thanks to Wasptor for the cache. Cheers, dak.
Found at 10:30 in company with dak’s Emu Mob. There was no game in play today so we had a nice easy find on this one. We went passed a house that had heaps of nomes in the front yard,it looked great, the house was for sale I wondered if the nomes came with the house. Thanks Wasptor for the cache.

Luckily the Moe lions had taken your advice and gone so this was no trouble today. Found and signed just in time to beat a shower.
Thanks.
Thanks.
We entered the ground from the back (Chewin' navigation!), and fortunately there was no one to be seen anywhere. A very quick find, but took a while to get the log out of its container
We signed and dashed just as the rain was starting.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at 14:00. GeoDad picked the right spot to look and found this one. Signed log book. Thanks
Arrived during the final quarter so there was no way we were going to get this one without being spotted
found 12.45pm exactly where we pictured it to be now!! whilst delivering wedding flowers around the corner. t-czech geocoin thanks wasptor.

Distance From Old: 233.3 feet
With the muggled cache I have moved it a bit further around. Also upgraded the cache to a stronger one that shouldn't accidentally be removed.

Okay, I've finally managed to wing a trip down this way to fix up this cache. Should be in place tomorrow. I went by tonight, but unfortunately it was raining and there were muggles parked right where I wanted to place it. So will go back tomorrow and try again. And dropping in a Czech geocoin which was a tight fit.
should have read the notes before attempting this one live and learn i guess.
Although I didn't find it (GeoDad and I both looked), I promised the owner of this TB that I'd show it around a footy field or two. I had MCG in mind but never did make it to Melbourne to cache!
Sadly this one seems to have gone missing. I'll get some stronger magnets (as that may have been the cause) and we'll try this again somewhere else around the oval. Thanks to the geocoads for checking.
Had a very good indication of GZ, and searched the nearest spot, and several like it to either side to no avail. Also looked at a couple of other nearby possibilities with the same result. After quite some time, rang a previous finder who confirmed we had been looking in the correct spot the first time. We double and triple checked to be sure, but still empty-handed. Suggest a maintenance visit to be sure..
Looked at all the wrong places before finding this one.
Thanks again Wasptor,

Found at 2.35pm GAFF1. Good job that there wasn't a match on today. Would have been just about impossible to log undetected otherwise. Thanks Wasptor
This was our seventeenth find for the day while caching with Mr and Mrs Coffee, Mystery Inc 777 and Minicacher 1. Arrived here after dark so we had no problems with the Moe Lions training or with muggles watching. We were convinced that we were smarter than the GPSr so we started searching in the wrong area for a while before we eventually decided to follow the needle and the cache was located not long after by Mr Coffee.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing.
Thanks for the cache once more Wasptor
