getting found by muggles to much

5:00am

TOO MANY MUGGLES!!!

Second DNF of the day. Asked muggles what the hint meant. Searched unsuccessfully for quite some time. Did the short walk of shame for not finding something that others had no problems with.

A revisit approaching sunset for me
Just like last time, this was not a quiet riverside spot.
There were muggles aplenty jogging, cycling, walking and being dragged by their dogs passing by.
The annoying 'Roman galleon slave driver' type and his 'yeah like anyone can hear that loud music underwater' instructor was still holding court over the nearby swimming pool [:o]
I poked me paws in and out of a few likely hidey holes, but no caches found
So I slithered off to the next cache

found at night

Found this one on our week of caching at the Sunshine Coast. The sounds of the nearby aqua aerobics class were echoing all over and there were only a few muggles around for us to wait for. Using the clue Marco quickly had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice easy find. Had tl be patient and enjoy the views between retreiving and rehiding the cache.

Located at 16:15hrs after some serious hovering due to muggle activity. We are visitors to the coast, and the local muggles here were just toooo friendly...wanting to chat! At least it created a good diversion, and geo-kids helped with the conversation as geo-dad slinked off to locate the prize. TNLNSL, & got out of dodge! Many TFTC!

Connor found this one easily and converted a family of muggles to geocaching at the same time!

We found the snake quickly and after reading the clue the kids had the cache in hand quickly.

TFTC

dood one,

Found with Denis. Left a small Canada Flag pin. TFTH

Enjoyed my first night cache. TFTC

Been past here twice and there was too much muggle traffic. Decided a bit of night caching would do the trick. Had fun. Went with n09ard who did all the work.

Noice colours, match the environment perfectly. TFTC d.d.dudes.

My first ever find! Found in the company of Wonder Wits. TFTC.

A quick find but harder to retrieve, a lot of passing walkers mid morning.

Found 6.40am
As Mrs Keeper of Time I usually just let my other half control the technology but he loaned me his old GPSr with a view to finding some caches while on my own in QLD for 2 weeks. Managed to work the GPSr OK and although there were a few muggles around I soon found the cache. Lovely area and a nice warm morning made for a great time.

TNLNSL

Thanks for my first QLD cache

It was perfect day to get out and about and nab some of the local caches. It was muggle central here today. We had to out wait and outlast them. Great find! TFTC

Nice quick find on our stop over in Mooloolamba TFTC

An easy find on a evening stroll. Found with Olicov. TFTH

Undercover Duo

This one was interesting because there were heaps people around but its ok its safe.

Dan found it. Had to wait around - plenty of muggles.

Thanks to geoNana we had a childfree weekend to spend in Noosa. This was our 18th find on the way. Loved the snake. And the convenient spot provided so we could sign the log in comfort. Took a bit of a search. Mr DisSister found it in a spot that Mrs DisSister had already looked! Thanks d.d. dudes.

Second go at this one, It wasn't here when i tried on 1 April, Surprised when I put my hand on it first place I looked, Thanks for Replacing and for this Cache-d.d.dudes

bad news...............been muggled
good news ............replaced it with smaller container and better colour

What a beautiful day for a stroll along the foreshore
The sun was shining, the warm breeze was blowing and the snake was slithering

But could I find a cache in the Cnaqnahf ?
No way

I had a damn good poke too

I'm not giving up yet. I've been fooled by sneaky camo hides in these plants before

Once GZ was established it was away with the GPSr and out with the camera, but to no avail. I log more DNFs than Fs on this type of hide, and here's another one. TFTC, wherever it is, d.d.dudes.

I hate logging DNF's but have to do that in this instance, we checked out the clue but no luck, the garden looks like it has been remulched, so I hope it is still there. Will try again next time we are up the coast.

Our 13th find on a 4 day Aussie cache hunt .
Few muggles in the area this morning so a quick find TNLN T4TC.
Note - log is full and needs replaced.

Walked past at 2200hrs. Went into stealth mode while a few fishermen on the boardwalk were looking over their shoulders.

Found on an early morning walk when their were few people around. A great spot for a cache and a great place to visit. TNLNSL. Thanks,

Had to wait while a muggle finished a cigarette and a phone call before searching - easily found. I guess this is muggle difficult as it is the only shaded seat for quite some distance!

SL, TNLN, TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 1:45pm. Had to wait until a muggle vacated the seat before moving in for the cache. TFTC

Slide in for a quick find and then had to sit back and take in the views (which were pleasing to the eye) while muggles approached before returning the cache.

Quick find while visiting the coast for the long w/e. TFTC

Parked at the other side of the pool and walked over to get some exercise. At GZ was able to grab cache easily enough but had to wait till nearby family packed up their lunch and left before replacing cache. TFTC

TNLNSL. Found with no troubles. Muggle dodging required.
Still 1 day behind the Fuddleys, after cache finds in Gympie
17/18 Jan.

Nice easy start for the day. Little fuddleys would not get out of the car as it had started raining, but we were parked close enough for them to sit and watch us grab the booty. TFTC

Found a while back, appears I forgot to log this one.

Thanks d.d. dudes.

Muggles everywhere but managed to retrieve and stash again and had fun doing so. Thanks!

Quickly found and logged, not to many people around earlish on new years day

We found this cache without the GPS. We had the clues and thought we'd give it a go. We found it after patiently waiting for muggles to leave area. Beautiful spot. TFTC

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Found on Boxing day . Had to wait awhile for Muggles to leave before grabbing this one. Had to wait even longer before returning cache. TFTC

Found the cache at 12.47pm. Lovely park and not many muggles phew!. SL. Thanks d.d.dudes for organising the cache and hunt.

Found at 0821 with Marg. Marg had this in hand soon after waitng for some muggle to move on. Cache OK . TFTC.

Muggles, muggles, everywhere. Even at night there are lots of muggles. We were sure we had found the right hiding spot then had to wait for ages for the muggles to go away to actually check. Bingo! Did the swaps, signed the log and waited, and waited, and waited. I'm sure everyone who goes for walks or walks their dog in this area chose this night and time to do so. Eventually we were able to return it to its spot. Thanks for the cache. Took :"Crikey" wristband. Left : Racing car.

found it today was very busy and it made it harder but eventualy i had my chance TFTC!

Found it! Alot of muggles lurking about, but we managed to get the cache - TFTC!

What a large snake nearby
found this one quite quickly, but there was a personal trainer waiting around for his clients to run around this circuit doing NOTHING but watching us looking suspicious... hmmm... lucky we bought our new digital camera with us and we could take fake photos while I extracted the cache...
Once out, we signed the log & had to wait for another opportunity to put it back !!
what a complicated situation coupled with such an easy cache !!
thanks for putting it here... really nice park / beach area !!

Found!
TNLN. Lots of muggles around!

Easy find when no muggles are about. TFTC

We had to skip this one earlier in the morning as there was someone sitting right beside it when we started our morning run. We decided to come back at night and the area was clear - TFTC.

WanderingAus wandered by on day ninety-four of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find.

My find No 785, TNLNSL.

TN SL Left "Crikey Band". Nice hide

TN left gold coin thnx to lady muggle.

Nice spot. Very, very busy though. The kids loved it and the weather was brilliant. What more could a cacher want! Thank you.

Regards,

Pseudo-Geek.

Aye - a muggle-bound area... Hard not to look dodgy. Smilee found it easy enough. We took it away, checked the contents - took the 3 'good luck' coins and left a white rabbit figure and an origami pencil. Signed the log, replaced with ease - someone has left a pair of socks close by - must've got wet in the sea. TFTC!

0562 re-logging due to name change

562 Muggle central, but a really good leaning post to sit against. TFTC d.d.dudes

Enlisted geomum's help and found the cache during a beautiful sunset. Also discovered a nearby restaurant with fantastic views - for our next visit to the area. TFTC

Did not have much time to hunt around for this, especially with lots of people out on a lovely morning walk.
Even thought a few of us had a good look we will need to search harder next time.

We had a similar experience to the last finder. As we approached a man was sitting right near gz having a phone conversation. We stayed nearby enjoying the sunshine and watching someone throwing a fish net. Then the guy ate his sandwich, and eventually moved off.

Located the cache but had quite a bit of trouble waiting for a break in the muggle traffic to put it back in its place. Thankds d.d.dudes

Appraoching the area we soon spotted the likely spot. But oh no there was a lady sitting within 1 metre of it. Thankfully by the time we had meandered over there, she had gone. TFTC.

Very busy area. Found around 15.30. TFTC

1500hrs. Quick easy find in a great area. Watched other cachers grab it after we returned it. TFTCSL

15:15 Easy find. Lots of muggles about. Tftc.

aaarrgh!
easy find while sailin' past,
took a age to put it back,muggles kept walkin' past!
thankin' ye' dudes.

Well this was the case of kick the ball over there and grab the cache. We sure had a laugh at this one Thanks D.D.

Storkers

Easy find but stealth required for retrival. TNLNSL TFTC

Found it ... TN and left Chinese Coins

Geowife grabbed it while i kept an eye out.
Lots of muggles round on a picture perfect day.

TFTC

found @ 10pm

Visiting my sister who lives just across the road from the cache. We had come by here earlier today after walking along the beach from the end of Aerodrome Rd, but there was a whole herd of muggles right next to the hiding spot, so we thought it would be better to leave it for an after-dinner activity. TNLNSL, thanks.

Kate, Olivia, Joe, Karyn and Kevin found this cache after a swim at Maroochy Beach. Left two beads, took nothing.

Had to wait at GZ for a little while for the muggles to go, a quick grab TNLN SL
TFTC
The Olly's

Nice easy find. Took nothing but left bottle opener. Thanks for the hunt.

A nice easy find at 1000hrs in a great location. Lots of muggles today and council workers doing the lawns so it took a lot of sneakin about to skin the snake.

Thanks for the FTF.

STF at 1530. We were up this way yesterday and didn't realise a new cache had been listed. We were in Montville/Mapleton area today so detoured via this cache on way back to Caloundra.
