Cache was full of water. Emptied it out and dried as best we could.
Added a piece of paper and sealed it in 2 clip-lock bags. Let's see if that keeps the water out and the log dry.

After having to find this cache twice in the dark decided to come while there was still light unfortunately it was rain so knowing where abouts it should be I bolted from the car to the location did a quick search and had the cache in hand couldn't belive I didnt find it the other time tftc
Took us a while to find it in the dark but eventually uncovered it. Content in still wet but we were able to log our names.
Came here this morning on our bikes however there were workmen working on the power lines & we had to come this afternoon & made the easy find.As previous logs have said it is very wet & needs attenbtion.
No problems locating the cache as our GPS was behaving and pointed us in the right direction. It was getting dark so no muggles about either, so it made for a quick find. TFTH!
Geocaching with Ben ... Nice easy find ... But still good fun ! took key ring ... Left dinosaur . TFTC
This cache is very, very wet and probably needs a new waterproof container. All the contents and log book records are soaked.
Found it! Took a little while as the powerlines made the GPS not too sure of where it was going either! Geocache was very, very wet. All the logs were soaked and couldn't sign visit, so added new zip lock bag with paper to register our visit. Dried it out as best we could.
Took plastic coin for the kids and left bead necklace.
Thanks for the cache.
A good quick find. Contents very, very wet. Needs attention. Couldn't write on log-too wet. Tftc
Been trying for this one for ages bogland to have finally found it. Logbook very wet.
Second one today that I could not find ... I just couldn't have had my geo eyes on!! Looked for about half an hour, stood right at gz by both phone and car GPS, but still couldn't see it, will go back another day and try again
Found on a windy day with the family. My daughter took a little doll's plastic necklace and left a plastic $2 coin. TFTC
Took a while to find but eventually got there. Log was all damp, even the replacement log was wet, may need a new container
It's wet slimy and smelly but we found it we put a dry sheet of paper in a dry zippy bag and left for the next cacher to come along. TFTC
Found whist out for a random jog. Good excuse to catch my breath
VERY WET. Needs a little love and care Cache Owner...

Found with stairman1 and geodog. Sadly the container was completely filled with water and the log soaked. We signed the log the best we could. Thanks JJMax.
Jumping GPS kept me on my toes. Could sign as cache was wet. Dried out best I could will need a new log book.
Quick find while passing through Toowoomba,took a bouncy ball and left a sheep TFTC
Found on 12/12/12 was going to try for 12pm as well but it just didnt work out. TFTC
I seem to have missed logging this one. I found it on a freaky Friday hunt with IolantheK. We were out to find my 2000th cache and attend an event here in Toowoomba. I seem to remember that we had a bit of a hunt for this one
Back in Toowoomba again on another Mad Friday with teamdfl
Lots of open space here, and a couple of possible hiding spots. Took us a while to zero in, and dfl made the find, although she got a bit scratched for her efforts. TFTC, JJMax.

Even allowing for all the overhead interference, the co-ords put us right on top of where we needed to be. Love the concept of the "free mulch" that Ergon put out for community groups, though I don't think the guy with the 4wd and trailer was a community group.
Also saw an enormous hare in the caged area, but he looks healthy enough.

This one was little difficult to find but i did use it to introduce a friend to geocaching.
It was about 10-15 minutes of scrambling about wheni came up with the goods.
Whenever i introduce someone to caching i try "let" them find the cache but i cant help myself and end up grabbing it....

#3033 We ha to find a place o park the NotSoNinjaGolf then we walked the balance of the way to GZ. The overhead wires were causing the GPSr's to be erratic at times but we manage our way to GZ in perhaps a not so direct route (would've been amusing to anyone looking on). Our thanks to JJMax for the cache - they are some big power lines!
Open space but camouflaged nicely. GPS still accurate within a couple meters despite power lines. TFTC.
Find # 3755, and Find No 6 of 15 for the day.
Found during a caching look around town.
Nice quick find. TNLNSL TFTC,
Cheers JJMax from the Riverina, Southern NSW,

Celebrating my 10th find by picking up Lulu The Ladybug! My nephew Cameron also swapped a finger monster for a Matchbox car he no longer wanted.
Spent quite a lot of time looking and GPS kept taking us back to the same spot but the little blighter eluded us! May try again in day light

Took a bit of looking but a successful find - thanks for the assist girls.. TFTC
A nice walk from the caravan park, along the footpath led us to the cache. An easy find.
The gardens & water ways are really relaxing & many muggles walk here. There are exercise machines also placed along the track if you have the desire to use them.
Thanks for bringing us to this park JJMax

A DNF for us today but obviously it was hiding itself nicely as others have found it since we were there. Oh well. Can't win them all. Thanks anyway...eatmorchikin & Stigglepot
Finally, we can log this as a find, geowife found this one as well, she's getting good. Took a lot of looking around the same place. We all kicked ourselves when we found it. Took nothing, left our log.
Took us a while, maybe electro interference from overheads upset the GPS - left a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin to keep the other one already there from getting lonely. TFTC. 2BluFish
Nice little cache some of the things are a bit wet in there, but the log is dry. tftc!
Searched near where GPS and compass told us but it wanted us to go into someone's house, so obviously wrong, will search across road later as muggles were working in the area.
An interesting location. I wonder if the owner knows that power lines affect gps signals
Our 100th!! The contents were wet, replaced container with a sistema clip lock and new log. Hopefully this will keep its contents dry. We have taken the wet logs home to dry and if salvageable will return them. Unfortunately the geocoin was not in the cache.

Container lid won't fit properly any more. Contents is a soggy mess and was full of bush cockies.
Surprising how well the GPS worked with all the power lines overhead.

Only took a bit of searching. Was very wet from all the recent rain, dried it out a bit but still very damp.
