Went to replace he log book, but the cache seems to have grown legs. Will replace directly.

Found very quickly but could not sign the logbook as it is far too wet. Needs urgent maintenance and would suggest the cache may need to be relocated slightly as it appears to be in an area affected by water. Took: small ladybug magnet. Left: heart shaped eraser. SL TFTC

Found this one at 6 o'clock on a Saturday night with streams of traffic flowing past. Took a while as there was too much traffic to use the torch. Bit worried about feeling around looking for it. Found a few bits of rubbish in there and we were hoping we didn't come across any nasties!! The log book was very damp and urgently needs replacing. Not sure of the relevance of the cache name though. TFTC

Our very First Find Ever - boyP.O.D.S. v happy and so is mammaP.O.D.S. as it's freezing and nearly dark. Thanks for an easy find for a newb found a TB but left as is as a bit nervous of being spotted while we worked out what to do. Took 5cent piece & left some marbles. didn't sign the log as it was wet...

it was easy

It wasn't an emergency yet (unless being frozen in the early morning rates), but as I was walking past, I couldn't resist a quick look.
That was all it took this morning, the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.

An easy find (second for day with more to come). Took/left nothing. Thanks.

It was well after dark we we arrived at this location - two advantages, no muggles and a torch made locating the container a lot easier. A quick find. TFTC

Drove up just as a muggle was letting their dog have a wiz on the cache location.
Carefully located and logged the cache. TFTC.

Nearly was a caching emergency here this morning as a doggy muggle almost pee'd on the cache just as we turned up! Cheers Gav [6067]

Looked for a good 10 minutes with ij3k and neither of us could find it. It was night so also dark, but seeing as the gps was showing us (for once) a pretty constant location I was certain we were in the right spot. May have to try again in the day time. It's a 1 so I was surprised we didn't find it...

Nice little cache thanks

Dunno. Spent a good 15 minutes here with Passsport11 to no avail. I would guess it would have to be around the edge as 1* means wheelchair accessable, but we searched deep into both planters as well. Always seem to miss at least one easy (1*) hide during the hunts....Only miss of the day though. Regards from California, tv

Hmmmm, not a very auspicious start to the day. It seems I just didnt happen to place my hand in the correct place this morning. A muggle walking along the footpath, and stopping to talk to a hereto unnoticed neighbour with them both looking in my direction stopped my searching. Ahh well, you get that.

Cheers

Out looking with a mate who managed to find it after a quick check around. Took plastic sandwich, left Metro magstripe bus ticket. (They're funny looking things. I used to collect them when I lived interstate. Anyone from the mainland/overseas might like one as a souvenir

Great hiding location!

I found it using my iPhone!

Found by willrockhopper!!!

Found by Mary & David, in company with Team Crackers, at 1635. What a nice cache location - green grass (a strange sight for us Victorians lately), no hills, and no prickles!! Some lovely trees here, but no muggles. A beautiful poem on the plaque nearby. Collected pathtag. Our thanks to Schnee.

After some long walks with maccamob in the Domain we decided to do a couple of easy caches and this drive by was perfect. The GPSr led us directly to the cache location and with nobody else around in this great little park we had the cache in hand quickly. After signing the log, taking the TB and reading the plaque we headed back to the road. As we got back to the cars we noted a lone muggle enter the park and sit on a nearby seat. This would have made searching impossible, talk about good timing.
Thanks for showing us this park Schnee

This was the second visit to find this cache. Thanks to prev clue, easy to find

Found it at last, with Trixy Pixy. Said hello to Schnee, though left him.

Couldnt find anything at all, even with the hint from prev log.
Will venture out again soon

We had a pretty good look. I don't thing it is here anymore.

Had tried to find this cache a few days ago but given up as there were some concrete-pouring muggles on the other side of the street. Quick-ish find today, thanks to a previous cachers hint! TFTC

lovely spot but very open - heaps of muggles!
It was great to let the 11 month old trixie crawl about the grass - she was a good distraction for the muggle grannies in the area!
i'll try and upload an action shot of our find (v cute!)
HINT:

lets hope the muggles don't think its rubbish.

took nothing
left 5cent coin, rubber band and sugarfree chewing gum.

tftc!

My wife and daughter found this one whilst I was at work today and led me to it on the way home. Brilliant little cache! Was a bit of a pick-me-up after missing the Railroad Roundabout earlier today.

TNLNSL, TFTC!

So, here we are on a trip to Tassie all the way from the mainland, ACT...
Well, at least it was exciting for me, seeing as I hadn't ever been to Tassie...
SOOOO many caches, so little time!
This was the fourth cache of 27 finds (and 4 DNFs) for our 5 days here,

Thanks for the cache, schnee!
Took: nothing
Left: nothing

Our fourth find of a recent trip to Tassie with Fore! & allrounder to run the Cadbury Half-marathon. Did this one after the run so a little tired but keen to keep the legs moving. A nice close location to our hotel so stopped and grabbed this one on the way past. Easy find T: Chococoin Geocoin L: Pathtag TFTC Fun

Found @ 1:42pm with Shadow! & Fore!

Shadow! made the find - I dropped the "Ronaldo the Turtle" GC in, TFTC!

Lovely spot. Thanks for the cache. BlueEyes9 and JAGeo12 were caching with me today as well. Left Choco travel bug.

Out caching with Adman1 and BlueEyes9.

It was a good place for a cache but it was very busy.

Apologies for the delay, but the cache container and log book has been replaced.

Quick find a first for e geokid

Finally got around to nabbing this quick drive by feeling a bit less conspicuous.

Cache damp

TNLN, pad a bit damp, was nice not to be trecking up hills.

A nice spot in the middle of town.

This cache needs urgent attention. Found muggled. Placed temp log book out of post it notes.

Decided Jr Geo and I had time to get this before getting Miss M after school. Found quickly but cache was seperated from its lid, no log. Replaced cache and put in temporary log using post it notes. Left a frisbee, took nothing (nothing to take) hehe

As noted below, I have the log, which I found on its own in the open, so I didn't look further for the container.
I'll find a time to put it back in the cache shortly.

Totally muggled - logbook and pencil in the open, nothing else in sight.
I now have the log, if the owner can contact me, I'll return it.

Found it totally muggled. Log and pencil sitting on top of a bush - nothing else.
I've taken the log and will return it to the owner.

Our 1st Tassie cache at beginning of 10 day tour of the isle. Thanks.

My first ever find! And just happens to be 500m from my front door. After our long very wet Tassie winter everything is a soggy and water damaged. Thanks.

Relief

Dragged my 84yr old mother to do her first cache. Not sure she's going to try any more, but at least she's seen what we've been talking about. Tipped out water, took Geocoin and left soldier. TFTC

Was on my way to the hand surgeon at RHH and was in need of comfort and felt this would be an emergency. Found at 0718hrs as the first of six today and my 174th o/all. Still wet and miserable, the weather that is. Easy find and quick to log and out of the wet. TFTC and cheers OldSaint.

Nice an' easy, a simple find, wit' me poor, crippled dad readin' tha GPS, an' givin' directions, ter entirely tha' wrong spot (apparantly some fool tampered wit' me navigational compass...I wouldn' be as foolish as ta put tha' wrong cords in!), afore fixin' tha' problem, an' gettin' to tha' right spot! Left an egg.

I'm glad I wasn't on my own in desperate need of a cache, as my searching efforts tonight were very feeble. I'd like to blame the darkness, and the fact that I never feel entirely sure that the folk driving past aren't as aware of me as I am of them. Anyway, eventually SG-3 told me which was the "getting warmer" direction and I finally found the cache (having looked everywhere but that precise spot). SG-3's cache maintenance continued tonight, as he added some dessicant to the cache to help the drying process. Thanks, Schnee.

Despite never having driven past this park on the way to nana's house, I also had never walked through it. My GPSr was pretty keen to direct me across the road, so I was pleased when SG-3 came up with the goods... and especially pleased when he took responsibility for drying out the cache!

Growing up, we drove past this park many, many times on the way to Nana's house! FINALLY! I have walked its extensive trackways, and enjoyed its peaceful serenity, and all to find its caching secrets!

Indeed, the cache appears to be a little less than waterproof; I gave it as thorough a dry out as I could with a packet of tissues I had on my person from a previous adventure, and Gorbak provided a new zip-lock bag to help this one along! However, I would strongly recommend a small Sistema to keep this spot cache-inhabited for a good time to come!

Thanks Schnee!

As per my log the container was full of water. Needs a bit of TLC.

A quick find at 1455hrs but the cache was full of water. The log is till reasonable dry but could do with some TLC.

GPS was spot on here!! TFTC. I have left a Cache Critter which is on a mission to decide Dr Gold a holiday destination. I am staying in a hotel minutes from here, on my holiday, so thought I would let it go here!! Bon Voyage!! (Took a glow in the dark spider, you're never too old for one of those!!) [:o)]

Nice little place close to hotel location. TFTC

Stopped in on my way to the city and found this cache. It was, as previously said, wet inside so I gave everything a good wipe out, including the bag the logbook was in. Took nothing, left a Canadian coin that the bank rejected. Thanks for the cache.

found on my way to hockey. cache is wet inside, and log is slightly damp...

left a pencil

TFTC

Nice easy find this one
in a park that we have drove pass many a time



thnx

I have been eyeing this one off for some time now. Its only minutes from work. I was in the area today and saw it as I walked passed. so how could I resist it.

The contents is wet but the log book is still dry

It was time to head home to California after a wonderful few days in Tasmania. I really didn't want to go but I missed my kids and Team Snuva was just plain wearing me out!!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience than I got. I picked up this cache on the way to the airport....at about 4:45am!!!! Crazy!! As luck would have it....a series of unfortunate events led to a problem with the flashlight.....it was working when we left the car....and wasn't working when we got to the cache. Enough said!! So I had to get this by the light of two GPSrs!! I was stressed though since I had to be getting to the airport!!! No pressure!! Glad I got this one found! Thanks to Team Snuva for the awesome, but traumatizing, early morning adventure! #2329 for us.

Despite being such a nice day there was nobody using this park which made it a nice and easy find. Because it's a long weekend I actually had NO idea what the date was. Signed as found on "Sunday"
TFTC

Nice easy find by torchlight. Lovely little park. Thanks for the cache.

Not as quick of a find in the dark when using your GPS as a torch. We found it, though! Thanks.

Ah, gotta love night caching!

A lovely little park and everything here is so GREEN! Cache found after a short search.

My first cache in Australia. Dropped off a travel bug that I have found in Paris one year ago.TFTC, Zettis from Germany

My first cache in Australia! Dropped off a travel bug that I found in Paris. Thanks for the cache. Zettis from Germany

Dropped off the travel slug in Australia because I have forgotten him for one year.

A nice little well cared for park apart from the garbage that did not make it into the bin near GZ.
I had the place to myself and the cache was soon found.
Thanks

After several DNFs and aborts due to muggles we needed a cache like this one. Thanks for providing a cache to regain our confidence with. TFTC

Quick find on my way to Mrs CP birthday event. It's a nice little park. The afternoon sun was just lovely. Thanks for the cache Schnee.

Cheers Will and Sue

Our local park - great little treat, thanks. Took TB.

Easy find on our Hobart Invasion sortee. L tb

After a day full of tiring walks it was nice to find a cache such as this. A lovely little park that I didn't really appreciate until I stopped for a closer look.

Thanks,

R - B

Found by TTE. One of those places that we frequently drive past and have never stopped at......... until geocaching. Thanks for the Cache, Cheers Quilter

Another quick little find. I think it's quite good that my emergency is too much time on my hands. Used to live in nearby, so went past this park on a fairly regular basis back then. Thanks.

Lucky first about 8 weeks ago. Just managing to use this site myself. Had help so far and working towards independence.

Made this one harder than we should have, then kicked ourselves for it.

Thanks for the cache - Wackys and Cached (SA)

Managed to do this one without breaking glass!

Thanks

I was in dire need of caching therapy after xmas shopping with 3 kids (yes thats a real emergency). All kids had a nice release of energy in this little park. Took TB and piglet, left a little dinasaur magnet and a crawly critter. Thanks so much for the cache.

I always try to have an easy cache or two not far from home to cheer myself up when I need it, so I was really happy when this one was published! Not only did it fit the criteria, being close to home and easy, but it was purpose built! So I've been saving it for a rainy day. . .

[url=http://snuva.tasgeocaching.com/?p=235]On Sunday there were muggles near every cache I approached[/url], and unfortunately this cache was no exception. So I saved it for another day.

Which was today. This week I haven't been well, I haven't been out for a walk, and Lottie was restless. I'd done nothing after getting off work but rush around, so I decided Lottie and I would have a walk and seek this cache. This is on my usual commute to work, so I'd already scoped out where the cache was hidden so had it found it before I'd turned on the GPSr. The tricky part was grabbing it between muggles! After plucking it from its hide I retreated to a bench to sign, and Lottie had a nice roll on the grass to celebrate. Then it was stashed back, and we continued on our walk. It was a sea of tranquillity not only in an icky day but also between two busy streets.

Thank you for the cache!

Driving past after a shopping spree at Glenorchy, found easily on a beautiful Hobart sunny day.
Took Nothing
Left TB
TFTC

Disappointed nothing left in cache to swap with but we left a "porker" for next seeker. Ok this is beginning to be fun...already

A nice easy find between muggles TNLN Thanks

Neribils Oregan must be better than mine as it put him much closer to the box.
Many thanks.

Found by Swampy. Was wet inside, now dry.

Found easily with the help of 2 x off-siders. Great little park to sit and have lunch I reckon... TNLNSL

it was fun

Found at 18.54. Took Toy car, left office gizmo. SL. Thanks

Cool little cache had to wait for a faimily mlling around. Bit of stealth used, nice cache. Thanks

Nice little park. I found the cache after some poking around. Please someone trade the toy-car away, so that lid can be properly closed.

Our first ever cache! We left a firetruck. It barely fits in.... Thanks for getting us started.

Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.

Grabbed this one easily. Sat out the muggle, who funally got the hint and disappeared so we could log and re-hide this one in peace. Thanks Schnee.

Nice and easy cache, always good ) TFTC

had to drive by this one on my first go as muggles were playing games in the park. came back after a little bit of shopping on the way to KatieB's and grabbed this one before another set of muggles appeared.
tftc

All good, I feel better already !! TFTC

In cache of emergency, break glash?
Nice park, but we didn't stay long, we're still trying to get our 600th cache...
Took TBs, left TB
Thanksh Schnee
