Found on my second visit to this cache spot. Had to move a few spider webs to get it.TFTC

Took a long and circuitous route through the northern suburbs to clear some caches off my map. Only achieved about a 60% strike rate and probably spent way too long looking for those that I didn't find. But at least it didn't rain. Unlike last night's Olympics opening ceremony . TFTC to all COs.

Found on 25 May after an in depth search. My GPS was indicating a different location about 5 metres away. Moved between the two points several times and reached and poked in multiple spots. Finally there it was.TFTC Howie_sf, enjoyed the Old Spot and the chase. All was well with the cache and the log has lots of room left.

Clocking up cache finds for the June Wheel of Challenges, whilst working toward other challenge goals and milestones!

Unfortunately this cache won't be added to the list today. Searched all over. Under the sign, even around the pole and nothing. Onto the next!

Replaced with permission from the CO.

We had to wait to replace it, on a rainy day as a muggle standing by, perhaps waiting for a lift, or a bus was watching us. Oh or just walking up and down the near by path, in high vis to have a smoke. Luckily we had our keep cups full of beverage and were able to sit in the car inconspicuously.

Mint container with new log book and pencil and bag. In position ready for a new find.

Thanks Howie_SF for the original placement of this cache

Took a while but was unable to see, feel anything. Given that many logs said quick easy find we thought the 10 minutes we spent was enough. Perhaps the CO could check it is still there?

Public Holiday and not much to do. Popped out to find a few caches today.

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February. Red Face
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat. Twisted
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again. Wink
Some befuddled puzzlers headed out in search of recently solved mystery caches and a day of laughs. Razz BFE has published 5 caches since I had last reached TRN but none of the new ones were reel. So to get back to CABFEN I need to find those five and the others happily agreed to help me. [8)]
A nice easy find whilst still on the way to BobLand. Smile

It has been a few years since I have played rugby up at Elizabeth, and on those times, I had often attempted this cache on the way home. So now that I was back in the area for finals, I decided to give this another crack on the way home. After reading some of the previous logs suggesting that it was a simple find I really tried to not overthink this find. So, I looked in the obvious spots and sure enough the cache revealed itself, how did I miss that before? I signed the log and returned to my car, grateful to have finally found this bugger.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
I do travel this road quite often for work. Occasionally I do stop and have visited this cache several times without success, until today.
Was heading back into town after working nearby and had a few minutes spare so decided to call in and make another attempt to find this cache. Parked right next to GZ and as I wandered over, for the first time, I spotted the cache, so it was a quick retrieve and back to the car to sign the log. Once the signing duties were done it was back to replace the cache in its hide. A nemesis no more. Phew. Nice to finally have the smiley.
Gratias pro cache howie_sf

Gridge98 and I had planned a trip out to the Smithfield CITO, and whilst in the area, we did some geocaching around Smithfield and Elizabeth on the return back to home.

We parked very close to GZ, and started searching with our hands around GZ. We looked at the two usual places for a cache in this type of hide, but no luck. We then started going around the sign, and still didn't have any finds. There was some broken glass around the ground, so I wasn't the most keenest to get on my knees, but sure enough it came to that, and after a bit of shuffling, I managed to find the cache. Thanks howie_sf.

Took a bit of searching and it really should not have taken as long as we made it out to be, david wazza made the find. Cache is all good.

A short trip out to the badlands this evening for a bit of caching with davidwazza and to attend the CITO (cache in trash out) event in Smithfield. Great to catch up again with even more people that I didn't see yesterday at the event after being in Tasmania for an extended period of time.

Thanks for the cache

A quick find after parking in the reserve across the (rather busy!) road. Thanks howie_sf for the cache.
