I AM HOMERCLEES! Doreen, Victoria, Australia

if it smells like poo, it probly is.

12:46
With a snack to finish, my small companion stayed in the car while I supplier the GPSr to one level, then to another for an easy find.

It wouldn't be a caching run through homerjay territory without having to deal with at least one mouldering logbook. This one was still signable, so no big deal.

#893

Logbook is soaked and starting to go mouldy.

Found the cache and nearby an interesting looking cocoon of some sort. The logbook is soaked and starting to go mouldy but still managed to sign it. TFTC.

Found @1608 #1698
Today was another epic cache run with best mate Ahomburg thru the Yea, St. Andrews and Hurstbridge regions.
Took a moment to spot but has reported by previous logs the log is wet but we were able to sign using the right type of pen.
A nice area and thanks for bringing me here, onwards to the next one.
TFTC homerjay73, another of yours found today.

Find # 1866

Well, it is a fine winters morning and again time for my caching partner in crime sedgwickDave and I to head out on another caching run, headed towards St Andrews, Hurstbridge and the Nutfield area. We usually cache on a Saturday, but decided to change it up a bit and do a Sunday this time.

Dave stayed up, while I went down and I soon had the cache in hand. The log was quite damp, but still signable. A nice spot

Thanks to Homerjay73 for the cache. TNLN.

As per the log, this cache has a water issue and the log book is soaked through.

25/06/2012 23:05 After a DNF at the nearby DUFF MAN!! I knew this was close so chose to grab it instead. EagleEye was behind the wheel and got me within a few meters. I found that , just as last time I took the "hard" way to GZ but on arrival I saw that it is easier to get back the other way. This time I signed the log and replaced it. As the container is fairly lightweight the contents don't remain dry and the log book is completely sodden.. I shall add a NM as well TTFC homerjay73 TNLN SL

Found @ 11:10

3rd find of 17 for the day with my caching partner Fusilade.

A lot of water had been through the area but the cache was in position, safe and sound - but log was soaked!


TFTC

Bubblzdee found this one before I got even close.

Found. Fair wet to flooding in river. Move above water level.

Very wet!

We parked at the wrong end of the bridge, and the gizzmo was playing up big-time today, so i began my search on the wrong side as well [:o)]. Eventually, it did settle and i was soon at the correct GZ … where i found the container on the ground . I signed the log and put it back where i thought it should be … i hope its where it was intended to be. Thanks homerjay73.

Third find for the morning.

Good hide homerjay,
there is some nice country round that way.

took a while to grab this tricky cache. Thanks HJ

{77} Found with GeoDad @14:30. TFTC!

Last cache for the day with Kings Adventures. T TB. TFTC

just going back through my finds on the gps must have failed to log this one earlier tftc

Found on second try because of the slippery mud, got IITom23II to climb and it was quickly in our hands SLTNLN TFTC

Found with TrynaFindaCache. Nice hide, took some climbing but great placing. Left TB "Mr Slots". TFTC

Found at 5.10pm. Had gone out and about trying to do a clean up of the area with xambo4u and also introducing syzygy50 to the pastime. Another of those we had driven past on a previous occasion - didn't stop last time as too many people in the yard of the nearby residence. Today Mr headed to GZ and quickly had the cache in hand.

Found at 3.40pm.
Needed help from a friend, didn't have the guts to climb high enough. TNLN

[B)] could not find. will have to go back soon. thought i looked everywhere, almost slipped in the creek. lol. glad no one was around to see. need more clues, or someone taller.

1.45 Just the two of us out today trying my new birthday present. Its working well and I think I will keep it. The best thing about country caching is there is no one about to pressure you. We took time out to drive around the affected areas of the dreadful bush fires of some 13 months ago. They have done a wonderful job in the rebuilding, and vegetation has come back so quickly, it is such a lovely area to come to.
Went to the wrong side of the bridge to start with (as usual), checked it out, to much water to cross so back track and go the other side. Once there, easy find, cache in excellent condition. Qick sign and on we go
Thanks for the cache
TNLN

Plenty of water has found its way down this stream in the past few days, very muddy. after a bit of searching and a fear that it had been washed away i checked the hint and cache was soon in hand.
Thanks

Left mini dice

24th find for this big day out with C@H.. Wow. what a great area for drive-bys.. TFTC HomerJ73 SL TNLN Find #553

Took some time to work out this hide. Once we found it we where surprised since it was not what we expected. TFTC

This one took a few minutes to work out where to go, but we managed to find it eventually. Found on the way home after the Back to the Beginning - 10 years of Vic caching! event cache....TFTH...SL....TNLN

18th of 23 finds for the night during a night cache run with Blacklegend17. Spotted the cache then managed to retrieve it. TNLNSL. TFTC.

16th of 21 on another night caching run with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671). Tricky one to get to once located, but Marty made the climb and i signed the log for both of us. TFTC.

Previously visit, didn't climb high enough. Really needs a bit of a safety warning. Bottom of the pileon had water lapping up against it and you need to be agile to get too the cache. Can understand why I missed it first time. Took stagetree pathtag and will try to work out what to do with it. Left nothing.

Found on another mega day caching with bogonghazy. A little bit tricky to find - was glad I had bogonghazy to grab it coz I think I would have had trouble.

Now which level do we look?
Luckily Reesylou knew the song alluded to in the hint,
and after a quick search, the tricky hide was spotted, and then, eventually retrieved.
Thanks again HJ73, SL

Great co-ordinates meant that after a quick look, then a second more thorough search, the cache was located. I love these bridges but they do have a heap of hidey holes!

Spent about 20 minutes looking in what I thought was all the nooks and crannies of the bridge on 1 side, but may have been looking on the wrong side of the creek or not high enough. Looked at cross bars for footprints, but didn't see any. Did find 1 little critter that I expect may have been in the cache. WIll put on watch list to see if it was muggled or not..

Finally got back to do this cache. There were a few muggles around when we first came past this cache on a mega cache weekend for us. Lovely little secluded spot for a cache and a nice bridge to scope out. Nicely concealed. Left our signature PathTag and signed the Log. T4TC

Took us a while to find this one but as we have done a lot Homerjay's caches today i had to find this one. Me being Like Homerclees, Prophead-a -clees i could not stop until i found it. Looking with Maggot-man we finally found it. Love the Simpsons TFTC

Dad isn't like Homerclees, he's more like the regular homer, anyhoo, great hide took us a little while to get it. Last one for the day. TFTC

Not logged until 28/11/2011.
Many thanks for the cache.

Found it at 1250hrs not to hard and I love idea

Found at 1020 hours, This was another one i had not planned to do today.
But it was close, so went for it.
Parked on the wrong side of the creek, found the error of my was and moved to the other side.
Soon had the cache in hand and signed the log book.

Second attempt and this time with success - clever hide thanks Homerjay

got it on the second attempt - classic homerjay cache

16:00 King Jnr

Another HJ special, thanks again - spent the afternoon with friends - time to head home with grumpy geoprinces in the back. My queen had a quick look to no avail so I got out of the car and found it without much trouble.

Thanks again HJ - Home we go........

It definitely helps to be reasonably tall and nimble for this one. I'm nowhere near as nimble as I once was, and I suspect not as tall either, but we found this one after a good look around. Yet another cache where it helps to pay attention to the GPS, and not just look at the "obvious" hiding places.

Nice cache and nice spot

Good hide and nice pleasant drive. TNLNSL TFTC

Aha! nice one, thanks!
TNSLLNTFTCACHE!!

i looked there...but it took glyn to find it! well hidden.

Find # 2829 and 4th of the day at 10:40am. Accompanied by 1 half of the Swaggies team on another Sunday out caching. We parked on the wrong side of the bridge so we had to cross the bridge and a bit of a stretch soon gave us the cache. TNLN, Left my mark in the log, Thanx Homerjay73....

Found on Victorian invasion trip with Big Matt and The Rats.

We did need to look hard to find this one but after we searched a while the cache was in hand. So many spots to look!

TFTC!

Here with Big Matt and Steeba as part of our Vic invasion weekend. This was good tricky hard find. I was wondering if the romans built this bridge. Thanks

2327.

Found this cache on our Victorian Invasion trip with Steeba and The Rats. A bit of a tricky on this one this one, we had a really good look and eventually came up with the find. Nice one.

Thanks homerjay73 for the cache.

TNLNSL

Ohhhh... clue made sense, but we were looking in the wrong area. After too many minutes, was finally spotted and grabbed. Thongs are not recommended here either!
TFTC

On my last (successful) search of the day, I was able to close the book on another previous miss . It still took me a little while to find but eventually I had the stash in hand at 15:50 .

TNLNSL, although our first traveller into a cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks yet again homerjay73.

sixth on our day out caching around home

another job well done!! Geo husband found this one.

TNLNSL

Thanx again

Papa Bear found this one solo. Mama Bear & kids disillusioned from previous DNF....sat in car and ate lunch!
Located at 13:30 after about 10 mins of hunting, and trying not to wake the nearby sleeping possum.....whoops, he woke when replacing cache! Ever seen how fast a startled possum moves! TFTC.

Didn't find it because the locals were having a big barbecue only a short distance away. Wandering under a bridge on a very quiet road would've probably got a few wondering what we were up to.

We'll be back for it another day

We had just driven up and a few muggles appeared, walking the dogs. They were soon gone and we scurried to visit the trolls. A quick search had the cache in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.

Very nice little area that appears to have fared a little better than most with rainfall. Robmc found this one where I had already looked. Looked but didn't see.
Thanks again homerjay73

3.15pm
Found by Roma and Max.
We are both from a musical generation that didn’t include the Peppers group, so your hint wasn’t any value to us, but your accurate co-ordinates placed us right where we found this well hidden container.
Thank you once more homerjay73 for another enjoyable outcome for us.
Romax.

Found at 2.30pm GAFF1. We ended up looking at both sides of the creek for this one until we settled for a particular spot which we had discounted on arrival as being too difficult to get to. Glad to have found it as we were just about to go for the hint. Thanks

Found by Mary & David at 1450. Stared out on the wrong side, but spotted quickly when we corrected that. Loved the views to the mountains as we drove down the hill towards the parking spot. Our thanks to homerjay73 once more.

Coords were good for a difficult location. I enjoy exploring this great old bridges, they're full of character. No muggles here today either which made things a lot easier, caching on weekdays has its advantages.

Thanks,

R - B

OK, so that one was more serious terrain.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Located by rubus pickers and cousins at 2.50pm after a short search which was a bonus following DUFF MAN. Thanks very much Homerjay73.

This one had us looking for quite a while. Once the GPSr settled we realized that we were searching in the wrong location. Once this was rectified Joleen had the cache in hand very quickly.
TNLNSL
Again thanks go to homerjay73

A great place to hide a cache or twelve! The coordinates were happily very good and the find was made after a brief search. Nicely done thanks homerjay73.

Sixteenth of twenty two cache finds for the day in the company of Alansee, the cache was found at 1445. Quite a few spots to look for this one, we trusted the gps and Alan did the honors of retrieving this one. Thanks homerjay73 for the cache.

Found @ 16:30 after a short look and a bit of acrobatics. I was feeling pretty good with my fat self for getting this cache and as I was walking back to the car a vicious dog came charging out of the nearby property with many growls and bearing of teeth. It looked like it wanted to taste me but I made a dash for the car and lucky for me it was open. TNLNSL Thanks For The Cache

Nice little hide up there on a nice country drive, Thanks.

Number three for the foggy morning was interesting for the ingenuity showed in being placed in the most awkward place. Didn't have the pet monkey and had to resort to an approach alluded to by the previous logger. Success anyway around 11:45. Thanks HJ73.

Found 11.00am
Having looked EVERYWHERE for this one I could not believe where I finally spoted the cache. I think i am getting a bit old for the type of athletics needed to get this one.

Found at 1530. On arrival to GZ it was obvious where it was going to be, it was just a matter of how it hidden. As it was, I tired in a couple of spots where I would like to hide it and it was quickly found. I'm sure a couple of muggles driving past were wondering what we were doing parked there.

TNLN. TFTC.

Found

We found our 9th Homerjay73 cache at 1:10pm as the 2nd of 17 on our Dry and Dusty Northern Suburbs Afternoon. We arrived at this one to find that workmen were just on a break from doing a repair job underneath the bridge. We had just wandered under from the wrong side when "John" one of the repairmen came down the other bank. I asked about the bridge and it appears that as the rattling of the bridge perpetually loosens the bolts, they were replacing them with nylon lock nuts. As they were working towards the cache location, it seemed very likely that they were going to come across the cache at any moment, so we pre-empted their find by explaining geocaching and what we were looking for. "John" then promptly looked straight above his head and immediately found the cache for us. He was quite interested and our timely intervention may have saved this cache just in the nick of time, we hope. Thanks for the cache from D,H & A B-A.

Had a bit of trouble with this one and left to do Duff Man before coming back and trying again. Second time around we said Doh!!! I thought I looked there before.
Logged at 1225 hours, TFTC homerjay73

Found 14:40, a nice easy find in a pleasant location.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks homerjay73.

We found this one without trouble well away from prying eyes. A nice spot. thanks.

Found by Bob at 1615

Another nice, easy find in a rather out-of-the-way spot . I must say that this is the flimsiest container I think I've ever seen - a ziplock bag would be stronger, I think! Still, it's pretty much out of the weather so it may last (I hope).

Thanks again Homerjay73

We parked nearby as you can do here and as we had recently passed two dog walkers on the road I wanted this to be a quick find. It was, though the Red Hot Chilli Pepper song clue eluded me.

On a caching day with Muzza and Barcoder cache # 21 of 30 today. My thanks to homerjay73 for the cache.

This was cache # 14 of 16 in my day out with Kiwideb and Barcoder. It turned out to be a nice easy find. Once again, my thanks to homerjay73 for the cache and the location.

This is number 20 of 30 caches found today in company with Muzza and Kiwideb on another great caching day. The weather was perfect, the company excellent, the caches fantastic. A nice quick find with this one. Muzza had it in his hand in a few seconds. We have had a really good day so far with all of our finds. Many thanks for this cache homerjay73.
