Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache.

A quick find between light changes. Nice spot. The log and container were very wet, I dried it as best I could but this needs to be addressed. Luckily the pen worked on the wet paper so I managed to sign
I kinda left my mark, sorry but I didn't have anything with me to do any "Come Survey The Traffic With Me" cache.
Thanks so much guys

Counted... 'lots' of cars but no flashes, Muggles behaving themselves whilst i was SL Found the cache in a wet state [:o] the first log book is a mess but the 2nd one is ok, a bit moist but still able to SL at 12:18 on 18/9/16. Emptied the bit of water and dried out cache [^] TNLN TFTC FLIPPER&CO
Out for a night walk with Chloe the geodog.
Stopped on the corner to survey the scene and signed while we were there

Veni, Vidi, Vici, Scripti. On the way home and was running a bit early so decided to grab a couple of caches that I pass frequently. Got a legal park and wandered to GZ looking at the description and info. Spotted the hide from about 20th away. All the 4 wd muggles were concentrating on the traffic lights so the grab was easy as I dropped my phone. Took the cache for a short walk into adjacent trees and signed the log and walked back to GZ and dropped the phone again to repla c e the cache in its clever hide. Gratias pro cache.
Nice quick one. Pity about the bottle and log a bit damp. Local features only made sense when cache was found. Thanks for the hide. ☺
Took a bit to work out the hints, but in the end we had the cache in hand. TFTC
Quick find today, had a fairly thick web over it that we had to clean off...Nice bit of camo...TFTC
A really busy place !
Clasic shoelaces act help me to retrieved and place back the cache. I left an extra peace of log book in an small zip back and tried to clean the cache contains, left the old log book in the zip back open, maybe the summer will help to make it dry and ready again for further finders ^^

Glad I keep a high-vis vest in my cache bag, makes it so
much less obvious I'm doing something out of the ordinary
at high muggle locales like this.

Found last year on another holiday with the SA Cousins and must have forgotten to log it. Tftc
Hard to use stealth on such a super busy intersection but we did our best, think most passers by had their eyes on the road more than us! TFTC Flipper & co
Great hide, our second find in the survey traffic series, thanks again Flipper and co.
Dropped in with a replacement log book after the crew escorting mrs. Flipper had filled up the last spots in the old log.

ps deployed a Munzee near here too.

Fairyduster2 went on an after school geocaching date with edam3241 troops. Sorry for late log. TFTC Dr Owl.
Quick find on an after school caching date with a junior fairyduster. Geokid found this in the first place she looked. She's got a good eye for hiding spots. TFTC
Scoped with google earth and pretty sure I could see what I needed to look for. Had a gap in the calendar and decided to get this one. We go past this intersection often. Parked in a side street and walked up for a quick find with Izdog on hand for subdefuge. Good thought put into this one. Yes it deserves a favourite for the thought and execution. Surprised it hasn't got more. Thanx
As luck would have it where we parked for another cache close by we were able to drive a short distance and park again and walk thru walk way to this one
Of course that is where you would place the cache
Took Tbs for a visit

Between 'TB Launch' events, managed to get chauffered by Honeysucker grabbing caches as we went.
Quick find and sign. TFTC.
Quick find and sign. TFTC.
On a caching afternoon with Honeysucker and Firesafe, and supervising us is Max.
We park close by on a side street, and walk in all of 100m or so. Had I been alone it might have taken me a minute, but today it is found in seconds due to the epic searching skills of Firesafe.
After seeing where the cache is the naming seems well thought out.

Well, the main difficulty factors on this cache were finding a parking spot, and the traffic at the very busy intersection. A quick survey of GZ quickly identified the hide, and the cache was duly logged.
No.7 for August

I was trying to get a FTF on a multi tonight and found myself, once again, driving past this cache.
Considering that it was 1.36am, I decided it was a great time to locus cache as there was almost no traffic at all to survey me!
A quick find, which is somewhat unusual for a Flipper&CO cache

Busy spot. One muggle in car checking me out but he had to turn when the lights changed and like a steel trap I struck. SL @ 15.10. TFTC
Put the rainproof gear on and spent a soggy day geocaching -- turned out to be more fun thanks to being warm and dry! Skippy knew a safe place to park for this one and shortcut for Moneydork and I to go find it. Thanks Flippers
We went out on our journey for part 1 of 2 in the quest for 500 ended up with 8 finds and a good day with lots of great caches.
Our GPS had us on the other side of the fence because of cloud cover we presumed but we made the executive decision to venture on the road side as it would be quite hard to survey the traffic without seeing the traffic itself. TFTC FLIPPER&CO

The hardest part about finding this cache was finding somewhere to park. After being unable to park I jumped out of the car at the lights I made the find while JK turn the car around and came back to pick me up. I was surveying the wrong one of the 2 objects first.
Dropped in a new baggie and log book, all good to go for more Traffic Survey's

Owl has wanted to do this one for a while, as she passes this spot 4-6 times a week. With no kids in the car for once, today was the time to pounce. Well, OK, wander around the place would be more accurate, as this cache emphasised her difficulty distinguishing between map and magnetic north. When she found the location it was one of those d’oh moments. An official-looking uniform garners no interest, so it was an easy retrieve. The cache is very soggy, but the log is still usable.

Found on an entire afternoon of caching (never cached for more than 2 hours before). Easy find, much more difficult grab. Used geocaching bag as a bit of a barrier and deployed shoe tie technique to quickly make the grab, then wandered off to sign a short distance away, before reversing the process. TFTC Flipper!
Relieved to find this one this morning.
I had to abort two other searches due to loud dogs and commuter muggles.
Thanks.

Spotted quite quickly, and then the clue made sense. Saw lots of cars and made sure they saw me by wearing a high-vis vest

Found @ 7.28am Thanks [8]
The hint makes PERFECT sense once you work out where is it hidden.
Not too much traffic on a Sunday morning, so it was a good time to go hunting.

Quick find with schnail foxbane geobro and geopooch. After finishing a nearby multi. TFTC
GPS was spot on. Easily found and managed to use geodog as a good decoy. TFTC
Worked out the secret to easy access and a short walk. It made sense when we found it. TFTC.
Had to park about 300m away, but it was a ripper day for a walk, and then followed an easy find. Think the name gives it away a bit.
Thanks for another good cache FLIPPER&CO

Went late evening to get this one but still cars passing made it very hard.
Waited, waited, grabbed, signed log and waited waited waited will ever get it back? Ok now, replaced and glad to have it off list.

Hard to find a park, maybe that is why we were not that surprised at the lack of recent logs. Nice easy find. TFTC.
I needed a cache. No time on the weekend. Getting withdrawal systems. I am hooked bad. Thanks for the fix.

Found this one while in the area. A quick find thanks to the clue. It took longer to find a suitable park for the car. Toddler Tardis let out a "woooo" when the cache hiding place was revealed. SL. TFTC.

Found quickly, first experience with lots of muggles around. Have avoided the ones that close to the main roads before but it was fun! TFTC
The rain seemed to stop especially so we could play this afternoon A short walk to GZ and a blisteringly quick find by Dazzpete. TFTC
geoP and Tourettes01 were on a girls only caching afternoon adventure.
This was the first on the list and once we found a place to park it was a short walk to GZ. Quite a few cars stopped at the lights but with any luck they didn't pay too much attention to us.
A quick find to geoP, log signed, replaced and we were on our way.
