How Do I Open This Thing? Rouse Hill, New South Wales, Australia
By AussieCacher on 08-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1KK88

This one continues to have probalems with moisture so it's time to archive it.

Found it easily, TFTC.

Log very wet, could not write on it. Needs changing.

Found this with fitzy_1965, Sol de Lune and AwesomeL after a Blue Mountains weekend...

We started heading home after a big weekend in the Blue Mountains but we targeted the LBHs and the Earthcache in this area. A bonus Traditional while we were here.. Quick find at GZ.

Thanks !

Finally catching up with my Logs...

4365 + 431 = 4796. After Sol de Lune and I finished the Blue Mountains Power Trail yesterday we started heading home with ACBC 66 and AwesomeL via this area to grab all 7 Letterbox Hybrids and the Earthcache.

Grabbed this one while doing the nearby Earthcache. Log is soaked and needs a replacement.

Thanks AussieCacher !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found with geokids however the logged was soaked and didnt even attempt to sign it.TFTC

Checked on this one today and the cache is in good shape. Cache on...

A good thing it started to rain- the fireies all moved indoors so I had a beeter chance of retrieval. A quick easy find. TFTC

Haha...trying to find this while 2 firemen are having a good old conversation not more than 15 meters away!! Very sneeky.

Found with Bedmaker, Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ghost Gums, lochb, La Kedi, an Rebel Acts on our Sydney caching weekend.
Nice quick find for us today.
TFTC

Down from Queensland for a weekend raid with Tassiegirl13, Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ghost Gums, lochb, La Kedi, an Rebel Acts.
The nearby firemen were out doing something when we arrived so we wandered over to the nearby earthcache and did it first.
By the time we came back we had the opprtunity and soon had our names in the log.

TFTC.

Having just sorted out nearby Earthcache requirements we returned to grab this on way back to car..

Located literally under the noses of nearby fireies who had been out cleaning up as we headed in I managed to make a sneaky grab on the way back out...

Log was soon appended with prove of our presence and we continued on...

TNLNSL

Thanks AussieCacher

This was, cache # 22 of 51 finds for the day, On day two of the MCBC raid on Sydney. I am sure the firemen were only interested in the females who were with us. My thanks to AussieCacher for the cache.

Managed to grab this one while the local fireys were busy doing what they do, well get ready for what they do!

Found while spending an enjoyable weekend finding caches around Sydney with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, lochb, La Kedi, Tassiegirl13, bedmaker and Rebel Acts.

TFTC

The group figured we would get this one while at the nearby Earthcache. On arrival at GZ however, the nearby carpark was full of inferno loving muggles so we had to take a detour and take care of the other option first... [^]

On return things were a whole lot quieter and the cache was a quick find. Brought out in the open for all to see and ensure the log was marked appropriately, then it was dropped back as quick as it was retrieved...

Cheers AussieCacher.

Found in the company of the MCBC - 2 of us from Vic, and 6 from Qld - on a weekend raid of Sydney caches.

We had to distract the firies - but the cache was found easily then. TFTC

We decided to leave this one till after the earthcache due to the large amount of attention we'd drawn from the firemen as we walked into the area, so we nabbed it on our way out instead, when they were kind of used to us . TFTC. =^.^=

This was a rather hard cache. I tried and tried and tried to open it but to no avail. In the end we had to five it to aniisawesome's dad who managed to do it! The log is quite full but managed to sign it one the back of one of the logs.

TFTC TNLN SL!

The last cache of the day even though my logs are out of order:) Very hard to open but I can see that some ppl thought that brute force is the way to go and that is definitely not the case... even though I could not open it!! TFTC TNLN

A nice quick find on our way to the earth cache here. Thanks for the cache, interesting container

Found by geogirl 7,tftc.

Found with a quick search. SL TFTC

Baktrak & SJamp assited in directions. Cache was found in a smelly location.

Out and about on a caching day with Greyscreek and sjamp. Greyscreek found this one and worked out how to open it. The log is damp but we could still sign it. TFTC

#22 with Greyscreek & Baktrak at 3:40pm - more than 7 and a half hours of caching! Greyscreek located this one first. There seemed to be an unusual aroma in the air; we wondered if this was due to a plumbing anomaly nearby? Anyway, SL, TFTC.

Freaked by awesomefive and the red belly but brave geodad went in for the kill and came up trumps

Log wet needs replacing

Didn't find it but did find a red belly black snake in the vicinity so please be careful when searching

after doing the earth cache this one is a must being on the way, just had to keep an eye on the maintenance guy in the fire station. Log is full and wet. as the lid has been removed in the incorrect way and is cracked.

TFTC, SL, cheers:)

This one took a bit of looking but it was soon spotted after examining more closely. The cache seems to be in good order - but seemed to be easy to open. TFTC AussieCacher

Quick one and nice to have a few so close together TFTC!

Chook and I were joined once again by Christine Vista and headed out to the Rouse Hill area for some serious caching. We drove to Second Ponds Oval and parked along Withers Road. We ummed and ahhed about whether or not we were allowed to enter (thinking it was private property) but we did and reached GZ quickly. Even quicker was Christine Vista just pipping Chook and I in discovering the cache first.

Found it quickly....good hide thanks! Beaten again by thereimer!!

No probs opening her. tftc

Two possible locations met the description and additional hint but GPS had me initially searching the wrong one first. Cache well hidden and while hint says no need to enter garden, still ended up getting a little scratched.

TFTC, found with benny.t

Clever hide. TFTC

Guess getting late in the day (and being rushed to meet someone) has me placing a DNF here. I'm sure it's there

Sucks I won't get a chance at the others

found with TeamBooo Thanks

Found while caching with TeamBooo, Boo'sDad and Glenwarra69.

very quick find for me today

A continuation of our adventure around the area, We found this one and had photos done at the nearby weir for the earth cache. Geat hide and quickly found. TYFC.

TFTC good hide thanks

Nice quick find in the stealth of the night....container is very dirty & log is still damp but not to much of a problem at this stage.....TFTC

After searching for a few minutes, it was quickly spotted. I then just had to wait for peolple walking their dogs to be out of sight before making the retrieval.
Great hide.

Nice easy find, although I did get some suspicious looks from the firemen near here It really WAS a matter of "How do I open this thing?" Loved the container, cache was a bit muddy and log scroll damp, but nothing too serious. TFTC
Regards,
Jarrod.

Quick find TFTC

Found this one on the walk back to the car from GC1KK82.
so close together, I know about the Earthcache practically inbetween the two as well, but was out for as many finds in the few hours of daylight this afternoon. Found this one quite quickly with Semikosher, logs a bit damp, not surprised given the past 24 hrs of rain.
SL TFTC

Found easily enough but had to dig a bit to get it out.
SL TFTC

Reperio at 155. Stopped by here to do the nearby Earthcache, and didn't realise this one was so close, so while Darwinian made a start on getting some of the answers, I strolled over and made the find on this one.

Gratias.

Nice quick park and grab. Cache is still holding up well. TFTC

Upon approach to GZ I was a bit dissapointed to see the garden had been partly ripped out. Thinking the worst I started looking through the refuse to no avail. Soon had the cache in hand though on another look. Cheers from the Browngang.

people have been dnf it but with the help of my friend we pulled it out.
SL TFTC

Nice quick find with GeoWife after dinner.
The bull ants around the cache made things a little tricky but otherwise all is good.
SL TFTC AussieCacher

We did this after the HILLS EVENT, first with an experienced crew and later with a few local cachers. On the first try Mr Morgan couldn't feel or see it in the hide at GZ. There was a general agreement that the cache was gone.Too be fair Mr. Morgan was the only one who stuck his hand in so the other cachers shouldn't feel too bad. We moved on. On the second try later in the day, with local cachers, Mr. Morgan went further into the hide and came up with the goods. EUREKA...cache in hand. We were very happy to past on the good news. Thanks to all. SL TFTC

Took a bit of effort to extract the container from its hiding place, but once we had it in hand easy to open. Not sure if the hinge is broken ?

SL TFTC AussieCacher

Nice easy find.

Cache Hunt 186; GAFF3; Weather, Hot and Hot; Helpers, none. Cache condition, damp. Finds for the day, 6
Was on the home stretch and stopped right out the front of this cache. There were a few muggles next door, but they left shortly after. I started my search and could not work out where this thing was. Checked hint and searched some more. Then almost ready to leave, I spotted...what's that? camo?? ahhhh. CIH ! It looks as if the lid has been broken, because the whole 'How do I open this thing' wasn't needed as it just came off. Log damp, but managed to sign anyway and replaced. TFTC.

Found! Nice quick one

Thanks for the cache

TFTC

The first of three of AussieCacher's hides and in hindsight was a piece of cake.
TFTC

Very easy find and after working out how to open cache signed log.
TFTC

Good Cache fun to do
TFTC

Compare to your other two, which we DNF'ed in this area, this was a breeze! TFTC!

TFTC

By the time I reached this one I was running short of time. Had an appointment I needed to get back to even though I had previously planned another 10 for the day. It's amazing how quickly time passes when you are caching.

Quick find then just had to tackle the earth cache nearby. Hope I spent enough time to do it justice.

good thing for the hint lol otherwise i'd have never gotten the damn thing open finding this cache at least made up for second DNF's on the other two nearby caches (Who planted this cache and Spot the camo cache).

Found the container and SL. Have to return back to the car due to rain.... Thanks AussieCacher

Water logged to the max meow for now

Easy Find, took us longer to open the container than it did to find it. SL

Easy find...liked the name (thank God for the instructions)...lol
SL

Very muddy around here! Quick find though! TFTC

Off to a good start for the day we found with out too much trouble.
instructions are on the lid!!!

A nice easy find, but had to wait for a passing muggle walking his dogs. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Our third cache in this park today. The park was deserted on this cool winter day. I sent NickoHeap into the required spot when we got to GZ and he had it straight away. Had no trouble opening the container. Thanks for your work in this area!

The youngest found it instantly but couldn't get it open.(Another job for geohubby!!!) TFTC

Found almost immediately on my second visit! The first time I was actually on the scene for the nearby 'Second Ponds EarthCache' and casually strolled over to GZ without even turning on my GPSr . . . I should have known better. This time I quickly found the right spot, and there it was! Not such a difficult find at all.

And I did manage to open the container without too much trouble!

No-one was around the Rouse Hill Fire Station today so I was completely undisturbed. Sun was shining, weather wasn't too cold, surroundings were peaceful and quiet, so I left the site feeling enthusiastic for further AussieCacher geocaching challenges . . .

Cache and contents were OK. TNLNSL.

Thanks once again to AussieCacher.

I had only a three minute search on the site after photographing the nearby Second Ponds EarthCache. I was in a hurry to go elsewhere! I can see by the earlier online logs that much more effort is needed! I'll return soon for the 'cluster' of three ingenious AussieCacher caches located around the Rouse Hill Oval and Fire Station. In the meantime, here's the reminder photograph I took for myself.

Number 60!!! (as I can't offically log the premo caches I found with Gambit) Lots of soccer muggles tonight. TFTC

Yes I have finally reached 60! Nice hidden area. TFTC SL

No problems with finding or opening this one today. Took GC. Thanks AussieCacher for the cache.

Found easily once the muggles in the building next door left for the evening

When we found this the log was damp, we could still write on it but it is damp.

Geokids found this one. The clue was too easy.
