Muggled. Time to archive

Oooo sneaky sneaky! This one threw us off for quite a few minutes of searching, dodgy phone gps didn't help.
After some helpful tips from others we discovered this well hidden cache!
Looking at things from a different point of view helped!

Great cache and great hide. Camo is one of the best I've seen. Had fun finding this one. TFTC

Ready to go

Closed for maintenance

Log book is missing but found container. TFTC cruznoz

Log book has stopped existing.

Container needs some attention!

found a while ago TFTC

We had just finished a meal nearby and walked to the gz and made a quick find after a short search, cache container needed a new log and some maintenance. Thanks Cruznoz for the cache.

Yay! Thought of the hiding spot but didnt look hard enough, checked the roundabout and the roof first :p tftc

Cheeky, cheeky hide.
North and East are missing and need replacing.
Cheers!

Muggle has gotten to it but found it

Found the cache and logged only piece of paper inside but it seems to had been hit by a muggle as there was a weird message inside. Replacement log needed! Great cache good hide!

Over from Sydney to visit a sick uncle. While here, thought I'd get a few caches. This was the second cache found in the area over the weekend. Spent some time trying to extract the container without attracting attention of any muggles. Judging from later logs, a muggle attack might have occurred between my find & the next. Hopefully things can be put right. SL TFTC

Found it

found it but needs some work on holder

Out road tripping with K.B. This was one of our many stops. Thanks for the time you've taken to hide this cache. Please excuse the generic log.

I got lucky and saw the cache on approach. Thanks Cruznoz.

Headed off early this morning to go to Albany for 5 days. Stopped along the way to pick up some caches. All caches were found without problems except one or two that took a bit of searching. Found this one on our second look TFTC Cruznoz

Found

Quick find

The brick wall had me fooled so sat down and perused the area. Soon had cache in hands. TFTC

Tricky and needing a lot of stealth even at night.

A great hide Cruznoz! While GeoJ and GeoR were discussing the inaccuracy of our GPSs (how could it be 8 metres past a solid brick wall?) GeoL made the discovery all on his own. Unfortunately we also lost any stealth that we had with his "WOO-HOO! I GOT IT! We signed and replaced it in a much quieter mode. Cache is secure but has an element that needs repairing. TFTC!

Smart! Yay!

Another on my grand tour

An opportune find on our way out for dinner. No problems locating this tricky little hide after dark on a Sunday night. Thanks Cruznoz.

Good hide.

Found while waiting for our fish and chips! Tftc

Yay! Our first find after a frustrating morning. We left a present in there for the next folks

Landed in albany now and this was the second find TFTH

Down under

Found with geobrat2. Awesome little hide. Took a bit but then it clicked

after a visit to castle rock, we headed back into albany to grab some supplies before heading off to visit a friend.
While the geo-wife went shopping, I went caching.
A quick find here in the first place my gps took me. Ya gotta have a win every now and then

Took some time but found. Tftc

Sit and ponder and found

Waiting for pizza at night - no muggles no cars. Thanks

Tftc! Had a lady yell out as she drove off 'you can find it! Its still there and she could still see it!' After about 15 mins it was in our hands!

We were searching around the round about for a while until we realized where it was, good hiding

Pretty easy. Just sit and look around TFTC

Fun little cache. Managed to grab it during an evening caching mission. TFTC.

Great hide. Had to wait a while to put it back lol. TFTC

Outing for caching with crank1, whitepaws9, Laker63
Found it.
TFTC

Stayed in Albany for few nights.
Enjoy caching around here.
Found it after abit of search.
Thanks Cruznoz for the hunting and cache.

Tried to find while waiting for pizza with no luck. After we left it dawned on me. Turned around and came back and spotted it as we approached in the car. Very well done.

Nice hide, but did I have muggle central going on.

We are approaching our 1000th find, and have been wanting to attack the Bushranger Series. So as a joke (hint) I suggested to Hubby that we pull the seats out of the back of the Kia, pop in an air mattress and cache our way to Albany. Well Hubby accepted the challenge - we also put solar fairy lights in the back so we had light while camping. It was a fun, laugh a minute, challenging little three day trip. I am copying and pasting most of my logs, with a little special mention here and there.

Thankyou all for placing these caches, we had a ball and were taken to places we would never have gone.

Needed a bit of help from the CO for this one, but quick find after the hint

TFTC's guys

Love the idea of this cache!! Fave point for an awesome urban camo. Dropped off one of our path tags here too

Found quickly, TFTC!

Once you see it, you can't see anything else anymore... tftc!

Log sheet replaced

Made the find ages just had to wait for a quiet time to collect and sign the log. TFTC

5th find for the day! Great hiding spot u had a bit of help locating

Day 5 and our last day in Albany. Had an easy morning and then spent the rest of the day shopping & caching and seeing some more of the Albany historic sights. We have had a great time over the week, being blessed with good weather and great caching. Thanks to all the CO's we appreciate the time and effort to place and maintain the caches

Arrived at GZ to find a placard waving pizza person advertising for the nearby pizza shop. So we sat and examine the area before trying likely places when the placard wobbler was looking elsewhere. Mr K spied the hide and another stealthy retrieve was made, log signed and returned.
The weather man was unmoved by all the activity

Thanks for the cache Cruznoz [^] - nice hide and all was good and dry.

Hally4 showed me

Great camo! So many Muggles Geo M practiced brilliant stealth to retrieve undetected!! Haha! We popped in a new log so others can place their smilies here too! TFTC

Sneaky little hide - well done. Heard the story about how this one suffers a bit of cache creep at times, giving the local cachers something to watch for as they go about their daily business. I too checked on it each time I passed this way during the time I was in town. Thanks for smiley Cruznoz

Got it easy loads of muggles TFTC

Thanks for the cach

Easy peasy

Log book quite full

Thanks for the cach

Easy peasy

Finally found it, nicely hidden TFTC

Love the hide, nicely thought out, had us guessing for a bit but SJ-Atom was on the ball today! TFTC

Hayden found this one, having loads of fun with my brothers in Albany TFTC

Found this one nice and easy

Sometimes the less pleasant things in life have a habit of working in your favour. Today is one of those days! Our car needed a service so it was booked in for today. No wheels so we decided to have a look round the centre of Albany and hope the rain holds off. As it was booked in for 8am we searched for a few of the high muggle caches while there was less people about. It worked. There were few people about at GZ so we were able to retrieve the cache quite easily without raising suspicion. A very simple but clever hide. I guess they're the best.
Well done yet again Cruznoz on a great hide.
TFTC

[Blue]# 10599 Found on the WA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
We had all day today to find a few more caches while staying in Albany for a few days.
Lots of muggles around but none at GZ thankfully.
I still had to be discreet as it is very prominent, and probabky unique too. Well done.
Thanks for another sneaky and well hidden cache Cruznoz,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red] (from NSW).

Got it. Good hide

Nice hide found with ryno80

Brilliant!!

2 police car drive by. ... and a bunch of us looking like looney tunes trying to rob the place. .. and we found it. .. cool hide....tftc

Found this one late on a Wednesday night on a work trip to Albany. I liked this hide. Nice job Cruznoz! TFTC

Cache hunters found this one finally we'll hidden

Reasonably quiet on a Sunday and I learnt not to trust an iPhone, as despite having perfect gps conditions it was bouncing all over. The Garmin had me spot on. Great cache!

An early morning cache for me! Would be a challenge during the day. Tftc!

Found a few days ago had to wait lots of people

Today we were in Albany to watch the Urban Downhill Mountain Bike race, and after the race I took the opportunity to find some caches about town.

Luckily the businesses nearby were not open when we dropped by, so I was able to have a quiet search by myself, and didn't take too long to dislodge the cache.

Thanks for the hunt Cruznoz!

While in Albany visiting my daughter, son in law and the kids I found there was a hour to kill and a break in the weather. Discovered this charming little park and cache nearby and this was a short walk away. Seeing that the weather was lousey there were not to many muggles about. This one keep me guessing for quite a while. An excellent simple cache, well hidden but under your nose. Its gets a tick from me.
Thanks for the cache Cruznoz

Took awhile to find. Couldn't see the cache, found by feel.

This was our 6th cache find in a caching run of 11 Finds & 0 DNFs today.
We found it at 10:55 so this now makes our total find count 8035.
[blue]Today we bid a fond farewell to our travel companions The Drovers and Team Pathfinder who have been camp companions for the week. We hope to catch up with each team again soon.
Our cache run today took longer than we expected, because now we are down to two pairs of eyes. Nevertheless we had a good day out caching.
A nice quick find today. We actually spotted the camo from a few metres away - we must have "tuned eyes".
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks Cruznoz for the hunt today.

Once again, we spent the afternoon caching around Albany.
Very few muggles around today, so this was our chance.
A quick search, and the cache was soon in hand.
Very good camo, and a favourite point from us.
Many thanks for the hunt today, Cruznoz.

Nice small cache great hidy spot

TFTC

TFTC.

Found by Mommsyblossom - a perfect birthday adventure! After 20 minutes of over hunting, it was in the simplest place we first thought.

Found this one cause of a friend. Made me feel like an idiot for not spotting it haha oh we'll. was fun

How good are some of these Albany caches? Its obviously not called the Great Southern for nothing! Was expecting something different here and was not disappointed. Found by youngest geoson who noticed that 'one of these things is not like the others...' TFTC

Dropped by today to dip some TB's whilst in Albany. Will be great to pickup the rest of your caches when I move down to Albany at the end of January!

I found this one with my Mum & Dad (jasenjanine), while on our Christmas holidays . We couldn't find it until we sat on the nearby seat ... Ah-Hah! . TFTC Cruznoz

Christmas Day and the 5th day of our holidays in Albany, we had just enjoyed a BBQ breaky & decided we would take a short trip to find a few muggly caches Great idea, as the town was deserted & we had the whole area to ourselves... We needed it too, as the cache did not show itself for along time

TFTC Cruznoz... Great cache, although we can't believe how long it took us to find it [^]

Omg was here looking for atleast 20mins I was about to give up when I spotted it. Great find!!

finally twigged to where it was after searching too hard

Took a bit of searching but got it in the end! TFTC; signed temporary log.

Found fairly quickly, but as I approached the cache a car parked right next to it. The driver then proceeded totalk on her phone for 15 minutes.
TFTH

Well hidden

Felt very conspicuous but found it in the end. Thanks Albeany. And thanks cruznoz for the cache. Needs a log book.

Log book missing. Someone has stuck a sheet of paper in as a temporary fix.

Well placed, found with William the Wanderer, TFTH.

Wasn't sure which way the wind was coming from today, so went to check the weather man - and do a cache at the same time. TFTC

Found with allinaday, clever cache - had to look inconspicuous on a Thurs night!!
