Only DNFs for a year and a half, and no response to a "needs maintenance" almost a year ago.
With the geovan safely stored on a property nearby, and completing a circuit through the forest, we decided to give this illusive cache a try. Kind of knew that if our friends FelixII could not find it, it probably had disappeared, but what ever, gave it a try. DNF!
Two of us crawling around under the peppercorn tree, checking out all and sundry. I think, as the name suggests - the Bermuda triangle has done its thing and made the cache disappear, OR, has the cache owner a great sense of humour, perhaps watching from nearby as cachers like us look for something that has disappeared!

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)]
Thanks anyway RehikeMike

Nowhere left for this cache to be hiding that wasnt checked. It sure appears to be missing
Wonderful sunny day and what better place could you find to spend it in than the Huon. The Autumn colours are just wonderful. Grandchildren are still on school holidays so two of them made the trip with us.
No luck for us today but thanks for hiding the cache.

Stupid GPS wanted us to go across the road (it was having a bad day). We scoffed and went stright to GZ leaving shameful GPS in the car. Was covered well by Angus88 and we too coverved it in the same way so it is definately out of sight. We were there mayby 4 minues tops, in that time 5 cars entered or left the triange Nice location and name. TFTC
Good cache. Good name. Easy find. Was fully exposed. TN. left a badge. Tipped rock back up. Less exposed now. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.
Thought I was there and was hearing voices, could it be from another galaxy ??? No just the children over the road. TGFT TFTC
Went looking for saffron milk-caps with geopartner and nabbed it along the way. Dropped off Lightning McQueen to race elsewhere. Easy find in logical spot, TFTC!
TFTC, a quick drive-by with geopartner on a mushroom reco trip! Nice location!
I approached from Judbury but unfortunately I had the GPS set for “Ancestral Glen” at Glen Huon and the car navigator for Bermuda. My mind was thinking that the GPS was closest and I ignored the navigator. After finding Ancestral Glen I realised that Bermuda was back along the road a couple of kilometres and was almost about not to bother, but then it wasn't really far to drive so off I went. On arrival the name for the cache became obvious and I soon had it.
As I drove away I felt a cold spot on my leg and felt what I assumed was a fat filled leech, but on hopping out of the car it turned out just a slug; what a relief.
I (Peter by himself today) had never been beyond White Timber Mountain and as the area was mooted as part of a multi-day walk thought I would check out what the country at the western end of the Wellington area was like. I had driven up Judds Creek Road had a look about and walked part way along and old access path towards Mount Lloyd. While in the area I thought I would attempt up a few geocaches on the way home.

Managed to finish up work mid afternoon, and took the opportunity to grab as many caches as I could in daylight before returning home to the Mainland 2moro. The cache name all became clear on arrival at GZ. Very good!! Cache was pretty obvious to a cacher, but well camo'd from muggles. Log signed, no swaps made, and I'm pleased to report that I survived The Tassie Bermuda Triangle, and survived to tell the tale of my quick visit here. Thanks again rehikemike.
Found at 1:40PM on the 13th of June by Janine and Maya with Ray and Ivan. Easy find, cache was very exposed. We concealed the cache when we had filled in the log. We came up here to see the Apple carving and model village, but alas, it seems to be closed now. TNLN, signed log. TFTC. The Nomads.
Well I pulled up on the wrong side of the road and smelly belly 8 jumped out for a quick find. The log was signed and cache returned before our journy for the day had finished.
JABs.

Had to stop for this drive by as we live in a street with the same name back in WA. A well named cache! Thanks for the hunt rehikemike.
A quick find on a caching weekend with Drat1964 in the Huon. Love the use of the name for the location, well done rehikemike. Took keyring, left eraser, dice and sticker. TFTC
What a great name for the cache. The road arrangements and the road name have been used creatively for this cache. A quick find was made. Really enjoyed this one. TFTC rehikemike
A beautiful day to be out caching and this was one we found while we were out driving around and enjoying the wonderful scenery of the Huon Valley. Thanks rehikemike
A long time ago, Mrs RC and I had looked for this until a neighbour started watching us.
This time, with a lot more experience, I pulled up and very quickly found the cache.
It helped that the bushes in front of the houses across the road have grown a lot!
Thanks.

Had a laugh once I realised why the cache was named like this.
Found easily, chuckling all the while

Found easily with Tassie Trekkers while caching in the area. The name does say it all. TFTC.
Found with whitewebbs on our "Down South" caching holiday, very clever title TFTC
I had some idea of where this would be located, due to it's name. An easy find. TFTC!
Found with Mast ET. Shouldn't need GPS for this one. Left pen as Pacer not working

What was once lost in the triangle has since been found (replaced) Please rehide well as this spot may be monitored
Seems like the Triangle finally claimed it as it's own. I will head out for a replacement soon.
fortunately I only had to go round the triangle once before the cache popped out. just as well too because it was belting with rain and the long grass made me very wet!

Neat name! No busy-bodies hanging over the fence today, so a quick find.

Only looked for about 30 seconds before the neighbour came and stood at the front fence and stared at us, so we moved on.
Cache still there and active. Found at the bermuda triangle after a short search. Left marble and dinosaur took nothing. Tftc
Amazing things happen when the co ordinates are punched in wrongly. Went right up in the hills, until we thought something was very wrong.Corrected the error then went to a very obvious triangle and found our prize, beautifully covered in snails. A good day Thanks Rehike Mike
Nice quick easy drive-by
Thanks for the cache and bringing us down this way

all is well at GZ

Things went haywire, thought I was in the real Bermuda Triangle but found it at 1127hrs as my 2nd for the day and my 144th o/all. TFTC OldSaint.
I can confirm the Bermuda connection
Definitely triangle shaped too [:o]
But it would be hard to get lost in there [:o)]

Found this one without co-ords in GPSr. Spotted the two obvious clues on the way to another nearby cache, so decided to stop on the way back. Cache was soon in hand. Seems we were close on the tail of other cachers today. Sienna took the little squid stencil and left a bouncy ball. TFTC
Got the meaning of this when I arrived at GZ, cunning hide, and found more than I bargained for. I am positive that was the Holden clutch throw out bearing that disappeared from my place all those years ago. TNLN, TFTC
For the last couple months I've been hoping I could get a day when I could go caching with ReHikeMike, but just haven't been able to get down to the Huon. So here it is, a Sunday when I know he spends time with family rather than caching, and at the last moment during a family emergency, here I am!
Spotted where the cache would be from the car, quickly signed and rehide.
Thank you for the cache!

What a strange little place, though luckily the cache did not suffer the fate of many others entering the Bermuda Triangle... found safe and sound

It must be the Bermuda triangle, it must be! We didn't see a single ship or plane, they must have been swallowed up! How else can you explain it? It's a government conspiracy!
Took TB, left mondo doll.

Thought we would try and get the grand kids involved and out of the collection of goodies they insisted we leave a bug.

For a quite road on a back road as soon as I stopped 3 cars came down the side road and about five cars and two log trucks came along the main road, when it had all quitened down I was able to grab the cache and retired to the car to fill out the log and grab the TB within. Thanks for bringing us here.
Found this one when I was a Cheesy Pig. Have now ventured out on my own, and am logging caches I found, but not logging the ones that only Mr Cheesy Pig found. Let me know if you'd prefer me to re-find and log as Greenish.
11:52 am - A nice little hide in an unusual spot. Took nothing, Left Tassie Devil TB. Thanks rehikemike
Find #3 for the night out caching with red tag and gspblu.
Found after a short search, TNLN
Thanks ReHikeMike

Second find today to Mr red tag with his iphone
Someone is certainly putting a lot of effort into the garden and it looked nice around GZ and also further on up the road. Maybe the can come and do my place as well [?]
Thanks for another cache ReHikeMike
We continued on up the road to go fishing but the muggle cows up there made it a little difficult to catch anything.

Well I am going to claim FTF as I am the first cacher to find this cache. The cache was discovered today also by a F. Brown who came across it while gardening.
The area looked freshly worked over and at first i thought it may have gone already but fortunately F. Brown had replaced it Thanks Rehikemike for the cache and the buck.
