MUDDY Old Bar, New South Wales, Australia
By LATANZI on 06-Apr-09. Waypoint GC1PKFG

Spent a fair while scoping out the area but no luck with this one today. Found a post with a couple of cable ties from where it may have been, it may have been muggled?

Was back in Old Bar today and can confirm this one has been muffled. I am no longer in area so it's been archived

TFTC excellent hiding.

Needs new paper

Best yet no drip insight

Wow that's impressive. Have not seen this before tftc

What a special area and neat hide! TFTC latanzi

Thanks a million! Loads of fun to find...great hiding spot!

Forgot to bring a pen, left a toy though. Best hiding spot I've seen so far

Found on a caching trip with 'Vaggfam'. Cool cache container, and a lovely spot. You wouldn't expect this to have been up the end of the road.

That's what caching is all about, exploring areas that you would not normally go.

Fav point for me.

Dropped off my Sons TB.

First cache of the day on a trip with the family and 'Nudge74' around the Old Bar area. This is a very well constructed cache and it is obvious that a lot of work went into it. Fav point for sure!

It had been a little while since I had camped out yonder with the Pathfinders - pre-geocaching days.
In fact I think the area is nicer now than then. FOUND without using the hint
The log scroll is getting a little full and the plastic bag will need replacing by then too. I guess the cache is 'water proof', so I don't know how the log has gotten damp in the past

Great spot - thanks for bringing us here. Loved the hide too.TFTC

Ingenious!

Great hide TFTC

Found and didn't forget to turn the tap off TFTC

Nice place to have a fish

Found this on on my Australia Day cache spree around Old bar nice cache. TFTC.
a nice hide so this one gets a fave point from me

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Very clever!

Very clever hide!! TFTC Happy new year everyone!!

Not a trace of mud when I caught up with this one, except that is, on a nearby fence post which sported the mud lines of termites. In fact I examined this post very carefully half expecting the cache to turn up there. However the cache itself was far more unusual.
Thanks for bringing me here; its a nice part of the Manning Valley.

Good hide thanks

I rode the push bike out along the bumpy road from towne to find a very delightful, and completely quietful, picinic area
No mud here at all ?

So where is the cache ?

The trees didn't have it !!
So I finally terned my attention to something that caught me eye on arrival.

Dare I ??!! [:o]

I kept me eyes closed as I twisted off the lid, expecting the inevitable, and somehow wondering how I would put it back together
Nothing happened !!

Eventually a logbook did fall out


TFTC

After pulling up in a very dry grassed area, I had to think why it was called muddy? But upon arriving at GZ it made all sense, very clever container! TFTC.

We decided today was a good day to hit the old bar area while we are staying in the area for the long weekend, with today being nothing but a perfect day with clear sky's and a cool wind to go with it, apart from the smoke from the current bush fires. We always enjoy coming up this area

A clever idea indeed.
I just wanted refill my water bottle while I was stuck in the area due to a road block.

Found on 24/8/13. 62nd find. Interesting cache. Not too many muggles. TFTC Latanzi!!!

Very crafty indeed. Loved this challenge. Nice picnic spot.tftc.

Awesome cache! Very creative, log book needs replacing, TFTC found with Josh

really good cache !!!! TFTC ! Quick grab with Qazo

Like the hiding spot,TFTC

This was a great hiding spot latanzi. Absolutley loved it. The cache is quite worthy of a favourite! And.. It certainly lives up to its name!

Wow - what an ingenious hide. Congrats latanzi. Worthy of a favourite.
Our first find after an extended break from caching. It's been almost 4 months,
so hopefully we will press on from here. SL.

Fiendish, TFTC.

What a spot! Very creative. Holiday favourite.

A great cache. In need of a drink on hot April day out. 2 favourites in a row doesn't happen very often

Brought the caravan up from Belmont to Forster and beyond for a few days caching around this lovely neck of the woods or should that be coast?
Should have attempted this one after Good Little Tern instead of OBPET nearby - would have saved a k or 2 on this road.
Having seen this kind of hide a few times before, it was a quick find by Mrs C. Thanks again latanzi, appreciate the work put into it.

Without the clue, I don't think we would of got this one. Great cache

This drive to us to the end of the line, very quite in this part of the country today.
A very nice hide using good quality fittings. Seen this type before but this has to be the top of the range.
TFTC latanzi

Another great spot had it all to myself, Nice Cache, No good for washing your hands though, TFTC

We have found a nice little spot at the Coopernook Hotel to park the caravan and go off caching. Today we headed out towards Old Bar and enjoyed finding this cache. We enjoyed the scenery and having a look around the area. We put in a log scroll.
Thanks to latanzi.

Good hide, log very damp, TFTC

Found it while at the beach feastival A great weekend

Thanks latanzi for making our day, what a great hide, we love it.

Glad the clue was here as i think i would have went nuts without it Love the Hiding spot TFTC

If I could read the right clues for the right cache it would be a lot easier lol. left a Kentucky quarter and put everything in a zip lock bag- getting damp. Thanks, very clever spot. Team LincolnCaleb

Nice hide, didnt sign it was a bit wet

Love the idea of the hiding spot. Great find.

Nice hide, nearly had me fooled but a second look and I had it.

Thanks.

Found this one while on a campout down at the local van park
Great hide and well crafted really enjoyed this one will have to checkout your other caches near here next time i'm up here thanks Latanzi for the cache

Awesome cache. Well done.

Nice cache ache Latanzi, obviously a lot of thought has gone into this one, must be honest, we read the clue & it all became "crystal clear". Such a clever hide, this one gets a favourite point from us. 1.5/1.5 cache but 5 for ingenuity.
TNLN,SL TFTC, GREAT CACHE CAMO, BRILLIANT.

Found with SESBLOCKER, such a nice spot and a great cache hide, WELL DONE!! TFTC

Found with "The Neighbs". Very nice spot for a picnic. This is a brilliant piece of cache engineering. TNLN TFTC

Our 1st cache for 2012 ! Loved the hide which made me thirsty ! SL TFTC

11:15, GAFF3, Another fantastic location that we have never been to in all our years of holdaying up this way.

A clever hide worthy of a favourite point.

SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC latanzi, and Happy New Year

Quick easy find. Log looks a little wet at some point in time but dry now.

Nice hide. TFTC

I love caches that are a bit more than a tupperware container, and here is another Latanzi special. Had a feeling this was going to be something more than that by the previous logs and wasn't dissapointed.
The locals have certainly wrecked the place with burnouts and empty bottles in what would normally be a great part of the world.
A very fitting name, "muddy" today.
Thanks again Latanzi.

nice easy find

Reperio at 1245. Darwinian and I had never been to Old Bar before, so before heading home to Lake Macquarie we took the short detour out to visit a few caches. This was another nice little reserve visited today, but it looks like the local boys have certainly done their bit to make it a bog hole by leaving their tracks all over it. After zeroing on GZ, we soon spotted the likely hide, and once we tested it, the cache was extracted. Very nicely done.

Gratias latanzi.

TFTC. Thought I had a pen in the car but didn't.

Nice hiding spot, lovely area to have a picnic. Didn't sign the log because I was bad and didn't come prepared.

Ok got to the GZ car park and my GPS went round in circles we read the clue and went for what we thought would be an obvious place!
Turns out it wasn't so we went back to the starting point and then I spotted something I thought looked out of place.
I went over to it and sure enough it wasn't working!!!
I took it back to the car for further investigation and bingo HCIH ....very nice hide guy's, well done.
We all did a tap dance and sighed log.[:0]

Our 4763rd overall find.

Nice to see a good deal of effort being put into caches locally. I love the location and the cache.

Thanks to latanzi for the cache. *Overall Experience: 4* http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Rating

nice drive and area for a stop. Loved hide and clue! SL TFTC

17:50 - good one! Loved it.

Clever

Yet another latanzi pearler.
Took nothing but left notes for future logs
TFTC !

It's rather a shame this cache is out of the way and therefore won't attract as many finders as it deserves for the effort that's gone into it. Very creative effort here, loved it. Luckily with the hint I went straight to it or might have been scratching my head for a while. Thanks Latanzi.

Found by Mary & David at 1305. What a lovely area, and such magnificent trees too. We could imagine camping here. Loved the camo. Our thanks to LATANZI.

First find. Fully rad!

Great hide. Found with Maybanke Five. Needs new log.

Found at 10.15am GAFF3. Another wonderful spot that you can't camp at - which is a piitty. I thought that the cache was hidden in that manner - just needed the hint to confirm it before any bad things happened. A fantastic hide which once again lifts the caching spirits.
Well done Latanzi.

Clever one ay. TNLNSL TFTC.

Found this cache late in evening with only light of headlights of car and then realised we didnt bring a pen so went back and 'found' it again with The Emongs a few dyas later and then logged it. TFTC, pretty little spot.

Clever one Latanzi. I was signing the log when suddenly two muggles turned up in a car and sat down to have sandwiches directly opposite us. It was difficult to be discreet about putting the log back and it was surprising how oblivious they were to what was going on around them!

another gr8 one Latanzi tftc

I liked this hide - very clever

Very, Very Clever
Thanks for the clue
Another great family friendly cache

Found with norkmeister

What a fantactic hide! I have seen something similar, so after having read the hint already I knew exactly what was required when GZ was reached. Thanks for this one, it was a perfect example to the first time cacher I had along with me about lateral thinking and the sorts of hide that can be achieved with a bit of ingenuity.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Found this on our introductory to geocaching day with the Hookhunters.

We loved this one! My 15 year old was mad that the rest of us wouldn't believe him when he said he found it!!!! Extremely clever cache!

Great spot. Great hide.

We would never have found this one without the clue.

T4TC.

My 7 year old daughter put me to shame on this one ,but loved it just the same

Found at 1305hrs

9th from 10 on a day trip to Taree, on a day off work. I have never been to this area before and thanks for taking me there.

A very good effort in the placement of this cache. Very well hidden and I would not have found it without the hint.

SL & TFTH

I had my eyes set on a FTF at this cache but got pipped by GC and son. I needed a quick find as I had the family with me, so I checked the hint which spoiled a really clever hide, great work Latanzi!! It has been years since I have been down Mudbishops lane, and if it was a sunnier day it would have been great towade out in the water. TFTC

An awesome cache

1655 Wonderful, a FTF! Out with geo-son, his cousins and a friend. Had everybody looking, but sometimes it needs closer attention to details. (LOL)
Brought through a Travel Ingot - Bridge2Bridge. (Am sure it would have fitted, but am keeping it for more missions yet)
Thanks Latanzi for getting us back here, and reminding of the need to finish a container for one close by.
