Love these containers! TFTC hanjac

Couldn't find it at first so resorted to the clue which didn't help either, so looked further away from the gate. Cache creep perhaps? Nice to see an ammo can. Thanks hanjac.

4872. [font=Century Gothic][green]This one didn't really suit the clue and I found it apparently tum[green]bled down and against the fence. After logging I simply stood it up and hoped that was where it came from.

10-Oct-10
Found the cache in the new location descibed by Alansee. It was pretty wet and muddy on the side of the dirt road so I signed the log quickly and moved on to the next one.
 
30-Aug-10
Well there you go. Stones throw is alive and well. Excellent. Thanks Alansee you just topped off a great night.

Cache on everyone. Hanjac.
 
20-Aug-10
I am pleased to say that the cache is still there - safe and sound! I didn't even know about the DNF's. When I got to GZ I saw the obvious hole but immediately widened my search and found it safely tucked away about 4 metres further up the fence. Big Grin

I had some fun and games here! As I approached there was a fire had just started in grass beside the road. In Victoria this is cause for great concern, and for good reason. I won't go into details of what happened but it is obviously of much less issue here!
 
28-Jul-10
The 100th log for this cache said it was not there. I am going to disable it so cachers know it may not be there.

If one more dnf comes through I will archive.
 
25-Jul-10
Found a big hole in the ground but no cache. I took a photo and will upload it to our log.

Thanks anyway hanjac.
 
11-Jul-10
Found a hole where the clue said it should be.......
 
07-Jul-10
Quick find on our way north! thanks
 
03-Jul-10
This was quite an experience. While we were looking for the cache a lady drove up. We tried to look like we were just out for a stroll (we didn't want the cache to get muggled) but she stopped and asked us if we were looking for the cache. Her son had found it on his way home from school, and neither of them knew what caching was. After explaining it to her we went to her house (the pot holes on that road were so big I though we would meet customs on the other side) and picked the cache up. I hid it as well as I could, which wasn't very well because the container is fairly large.

Cheers

We didn't find this cache and are very disappointed. arrived at 5pm to find what we think was an intentation in the leaf material the same size as an ammo box at the end of a hugh rope, so we think it has GONE!!!! Did a bit of a search around but could not find perhaps with all the heavy rain and winds that were around in the last couple of day it has been uncovered.
Thanks Hanjac for the hide.

Wow, So Exposed yet so very well blended in.

A quick easy find @ 1406. Although I was beaten to it by Triple-GGG. I have alway thought aboutstopping and checking the nearby water sports complex out but today was not to be the day.....I was missing Mrs Simia and wanted to get home to Brisbane.

good fine. we agree with other cachers, if not looking for this cache (ie: muggles) you wouldn't stumble upon it. left a few 'treasures' for other as large find and took pencil sharpener. thanks for the great cache!

Had this checked by some non geocachers a few weeks ago. They spent some time looking for it and even though it is found exposed they said it was really hard to find.

Thanks to all who keep covering it up. Should be easy for cachers, not so for muggles.
 
29-Jan-10
Yes, cache is exposed. Replaced it and tried to camouflage it as best we could. TFTC.

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.17. I could see the spot as I drove along the freeway, but it turned out that between the caravan park and the boat area this could be a busy summer retreat. Last for the Trip. Thanks.

For a cacher it stands out like a signpost but given it's location I doubt that anyone else would give it a second look.
