Morgans' Lane Albany Creek, Queensland, Australia

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Unfortunately the hidding spot for this cache has dissapeared along with the cache itself.

There goes a good little quick to find cache

All plants in the area have been removed and probably the cache with them . Please CHECK THIS ONE. Thanks anyway.

Did not find this one. Appears to be on private property and there are too many yappy dogs. Did find the remnants of a container. TFTH

A quick & easy find TFTC Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

This was the second last cache of 32 on day three of my Brisvegas Tour. This was a nice easy find due to the fact the bush it was supposed to be under had a major prune. My thanks to Froginasock for the cache.

Was more than happy to get this one off my radar. The muggle potential was way too high for my liking Co-ords were spot on. Found after a small hunt. TFTC Froginasock

No sign of peering muggles today as I hunted this one with Loki looking on. I spent far too long looking though as I was convinced it was hidden somewhere else... I spent lots of time looking, without actually putting my hands to good use and removing obstacles and cover... I did find it eventually though and took the coin as a reward... [^]

Cheers froginasock.

Same a morgan's lane 2, we were being watched. This time by kids peaking over the fence, where there was obviously a gathering there. Geoson running up and down the pathway having a merry old time probably didn't help. We decided best to leave without having looked properly.

another one in the rain.swapped gcs.glad noone was around as it felt a bit weird looking around the bushes here.retreated into lane to sl.tftc.tgclgc.

Kms for my TB Shirt recording all Caches I have been to.

Quick easy find TNLNSL

Have been within 1 mtr of this cache before but muggle children playing in the cul-de-sac prevented me from grabbing a find last time but being about 2130hrs all was quiet and all was nice like the night before x-mas.
well the x-mas tree just needed lights and we could have stayed there all night looking up at it..

Easy find, I almost gave up cause the neighbourhood dog would NOT stop yapping. But I perservered (eventually it stopped) and cache was soon to hand. TFTH

The satellites must have been getting out of sync as I could not get a fix under 10m accuracy.

Luckily the hint helped but I was a bit worried as the area has been pruned lately.

The cache was still well hidden. TNLN.

GPS wanted me to drive onto a road that didn’t exist so took a while to find the access and then, only because I decided to seek the other Morgan’s Lane cache first.
One of my other hobbies is gardening so knew where to look. Didn’t really like rummaging around in what must be private property though.

Great hide found cache with team Keir. Took koala and left a new caledonia keyring. TFTC

number 2 for the day.... TNLN.. TFTC

easy found with geofriend and lovely day

Just as Geo-mum and micro-master arrived at GZ, the skies opened up. We grabbed the cache and took it back to the geo-mobile to logging. In good condition despite the deluge. TFTC. On this note we called it a day. Five out of five today. Micro master is very pleased. Wet but pleased

As i approached the end of the lane i saw something that strikes terror into the heart of even the most seasoned cacher......yep, garden maintainence. Luckily it wasn't as severe as i first thought and i found the cache, unharmed, in good condition, and still safely, well hidden away . Signed log @ 8-21pm and had just returned it, when a muggle hound started barking. Too late little puppy, i'm way too quick for u. I woz already on my way back up the lane. TFTC Froginasock

Woof woof. Found after a brief search. TNLNSL. TFTC Froggy!

Found out on a walk with Palopinto and our geokids. TFTC

Got barked at, but found it! With nyletam & the geokids.

Took travel bug.

Quick find. no one in sight and was lucky enough to not hear a sound out of the dog.
TNLN TFTC

Sixth find of 13 caches today. Walked straight up to this one which was handy as there were a few muggles about.
TFTC

dropped off a TB. All is good with the cache. This one has proved to be a really great possie.

I found it with DisSister.

A quick dash down the lane and the cache was found. Moved slightly away to sign it in case muggles came by but everyone stayed inside with the rain threatening. TFTC

found at 1132. tftc tnln

Found by the Geowife and Geoson with little fuss except for the Muggles looking at us slightly suspiciously. Had to pretend to be walking through then return to sign. TNLNSL TFTC

360 - Found this one easily at 3:52pm. Co-ords spot on. Yap we heard the dog too. TFTC Froginasock.

bit worried about this one after the dogs barking at the other morgans lane cache , all good took night racer coin

Found with the hint. L night racer TB. As we were signing the log we were caught by a yappy canine guard!! arrghh TFTC

I wouldn't say the dog was yapping like crazy more like squeaking! Easy find hardest part were the muggle kids on bikes. TNLNSL TFTC

Almost got to GZ then a nearby dog started barking loudly in that 'yipping' annoying way of small dogs. Got the cache and removed myself away from the dog to sign, then ran the barking gauntlet to return the cache. TFTC Froginasock.

Nice quick cache, found just as going dark.

LS- Left our L C flag/token

Sixth for the day and all is going well. TNL Compass Button SL TFTC

Dog was barking and felt very exposed. Found quickly and moved on fast.

No yapping dogs today, and after seeing how heavily the shrubs had be trimmed, thought I might have trouble locating the cache. Found easily enough. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 1:03pm. Second visit here but an easy find this time and we didn't wake the dogs either. TFTC

Quick find today by the Downey Clan.

Ignored the yappers and got the job done.

TFTC!

Garfield69au

Found it No. 1323 ... nice hide ... Took Geocoin and left Chinese Coins

At15:30. After much searching under the barrage of yapping we gave up. Decided to walk to #2. Gave up there too. Decided to have one more quick look here. Got it!

TN/L Sherpa Geocoin and crocheted hairpin. TFTC Froginasock.

Our third find for an hour this afternoon. Trying to keep the young Ogres quite was a challange but Pa Ogre found it.
TNLN TFTC

Another mission success for Black Ops. Good spot.

TNLN not even a foot print
TFTC

HOLY COW what a racket!!!!
Didn't stick around, my ears were hurting!!!

Meekster67

Didn't read about the dog problem until after the visit, so did not expect canine reaction !! Noise was enough to awake the dead !! Needless-to-say felt very uncomfortable and left quickly... will have to return with a bone !

Luckily I sneaked into and out of this find without the dog going off.
Thank heavens.
TFTC

A short walk and the cache was soon to hand. The yappy dog is still in residence and was certainly in fine voice this afternoon.

Thankfully it was a quick find. Found the cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks

I remember often getting annoyed at those gate things at the ends of this lane.

Used to fly down on my bike as a kid, only to have to slow right down to get through...


Dropped of 48hour geocoin, Took batteries.

This area needs some more TB's and GC's...

easy find after the hint.

Felt a bit nervous at GZ, but the cache was in hand quickly, so I TN/LN/SL and replaced it before any dogs or muggles spotted me.

Virtual visit for 'What would signal do?' Geocoin. Hope to see it back here soon.

This was my first one for a little while, so my GPS was telling me one thing, but I knew where it was - finally the GPS matched the hide. Swapped one item for 2 small. TFTC!

Yes the dog was in full force today, singing Christmas Carols perhaps... took a bit longer to find than it should as we thought we were looking for a different cache! TFTC

Darn these caches with similar names! After figuring we were looking for the *other* Morgan's, it took only moments to grab the cache. Yappy dog still in good voice. TFTC. ='.'=

Found with Dizzyanne and La Kedi. TFTC

Cache is fine, still in place under the tree. I have heard of this anoying dog b4. You don't need to stay long at the site though, just reach under, grab it and move up to the other end of the lane to SL. Happy cachinf, Froginasock, out.

Walked right past it but the incessant yapping from the nearby mutt was enough to prevent me from looking too closely.

Had to do this one really quickly - before very noisy little canine attracted the attention of the entire neighbourhood. TFTH

Found while in the area. The Christmas tree is receiving a bit of a prune, maybe it's getting ready for some lights. TFTC

Found this afternoon after sparking intense interest of the noisy dog. Hi to all the neighbours .
SL. No swaps. Thanks for the ride along the Pine and around the Eatons Hill area today.

Found at 0921. A quick find had my hands on it without seeing it. The Clue helped. Cache Ok and Dry. TFTC

Out doing a check on my caches on the South Pine River after the storms and flooding so this was a nice little pick up on the way.

An easy find with geoson, who wasn't really interested in the contents, but was happy to get a rock from the ground .

A good hide, but it is a bit exposed from the neighbours who will be wondering what is so exciting in that hiding spot

TFTC

I was poking around the north (dark?) side of town this morning after a night shift and headed for Morgan's Lane
I left the geomobile some ways away and strolled along the ugliness that is Morgan Road [:o]
At the laneway I vanished from view of the passing traffic and into the temporary tranquility of this passage to utopia
The tranquility was quickly shattered about half way by the yappy dog on the other side of the fence
There were a lot of rocks lining the laneway, but it took no time at all to find the cache
My geological training kicked in and with the help of the clue I soon spotted the hiding place
Having found the cache I gazed across the last few metres into the paradise beyond
I decided to make a hasty retreat back to the dark side and left the yappy dog to bark at its own shadow
TFTC, I took the Key Chain Fun travel bug.

An interesting spot, Found it, TFTC.

Cache is now in place and as you can see has been found twice, Thanks.

Disabled, please re-enable when there's a cache there to find.

You really, really do need to read the guidelines:
"Your cache should be in place and ready to hunt at the time your cache page is submitted for review."

Finally...our 1st FTF. We arrive @ 5.00pm exactly to make sure we got there first!

OUT: Army Badge
IN: Olympic Doll

TAKEN: Civil War Geocoin

TFTC (eventually

Arrrggghhh... beaten to it by 15 minutes. Nice easy find. Took nothing but left a pack of batteries. TFTC.

So how is the state of Albany Creek? Was it hit hard by the storm?

We got hit hard but not as bad as others. Had water coming in around windows and doors and down through the lights. Nothing that can't be cleaned or replaced. At least we still have our roof.

Received notification of a cache close to home! How exciting...our first FTF. Got geo-girl out of bed & convinced geo-boy to get off the computer for an exciting FTF!!!

With torches in hand, we looked & looked & looked. Found what MIGHT have been a cache-bottom, filled with leaf-litter etc. Without a lid or anything resembling the insides of a cache, we were left puzzling & not a little disappointed.

There has been plenty of rain & damage lately but the lane seems relatively unscathed. Nearby canine resident attempted to notify the whole neighbourhood that we were there, but no one came looking (not that I noticed while a*se up searching for the cache.)

Hopefully someone else will have better luck than us.

Had a quick dashto look for this hide and after the previous DNF I read the clue (misspelt BTW). Looked in what I thought would be the correct location based on GPSr and clue but no banana. Will have to come back another time as muggles were starting to use the thoroughfare.

Sorry Guys, my bad, this is my first cache and i have been eagerly awaiting it beeing approved. I have not placed it yet as i was unsure of the correct proceedure. I will be placing it there before 1700 h today 20 Nov 08 local time.

Hope you come back, looks like there might be a race on for the FTF!
