I guess that's one way to clear an unfound cache off my map...

looks like it was washed away

No joy for us either. Found the gz no probs and then spent ages trying every nook and cranny. Any hints would be welcome!

Thought I had this one in the bag, but 'twas not to be - even with a pretty thorough search of GZ it failed to reveal itself, and rather than risking the further attention of curious locals I decided @ 1100 to pull up stumps and try again another time.

half of the team had found it before but the other half hadn't. 2 years aago, I wouldn't have found this but doing so many bridge banters has aclimitised me !

stopped on our visit to Jerra with the Agent Basil, Abida and Tealby team, not sure why I didn't have in my GPS but thankfully my other team mates loaded it ok, Agent Basil spotted it straight away.

PS I couldn't see any attributes on the cache might be useful

TFTC

This was the first cache I ever tried to find... and the first one I ever failed to find.

Coming back to it after 6 months, I had a lot more experience under my belt and knew what to look for. Awesome hide TFTC!

hmm why has this one not been found so often....come on it's not that hard!!! Give it ago.
Thanks for the interstate outing!
cheers

Well, we had fun solving the puzzle of course, found GZ with GeoSon. signed a fresh log (fun putting that back in) and a good find for the 1st of our jerra run today. Off to another puzzle and enjoying the warm weather (but not the prickls). So thanks for the Cache and great start. (we got 9 caches today - dropped 3 TB's - found one and even left a path tag in a cache - Awesome).

Was in Jerrabomberra with Denbe for the afternoon, so decided to have a ramble around and find some caches. I'd dialled the co-ordinates into Google beforehand, so had some idea of where to go... showed up, was preparing to fire up the GPS when I spotted what looked suspiciously like a cache! (And it was.) TFTC

Nice Hide, fun puzzle, clean log

TFTC - TNLNSL (obviously - ROFL)

Log replaced

Working out the answer was pretty easy. The cache was easy to find. The clue really helped. Very smart container and hiding spot. Like other people said the log book is full. Thanks.

Reperio at 1140. Was heading over to Queanbeyan today so I quickly looked this one up and solved it just prior to leaving. Arrived at GZ to find a familiar type of location for the ACT, but after a short walk the cache was found. It always surprises me how many native pieces of bushland there are right next to residential areas. It's great.

Gratias.

Loves your puzzle - good one. also very cunning.... SL. Thanks wink. inc

Fun little puzzle, with a very clever hide. Thank you. The log is full and needs replacing had to write on the side of an end.

This was a pretty cool spot, I had a great time exploring the tunnels even though they are pretty straight and dont go anywhere in particular.

Thank you thank you!!!

It was very nice to do a puzzle that didnt make my brain hurt. It didnt take long to solve, and while we were out this way, Little Buds and I stopped to look for the cache. Foolishly, I'd neglected to upload the corrected coordinates to the GPS before we left home. Cleverly though, I'd put the piece of paper I worked them out on, into my backpack!

I spotted the cache immediately - the log is full by the way, then we had a bit of fun exploring the acoustic properties of the nearby structures, before heading back to the wagon.

Cheers

Finally found it after solving the puzzle (my first puzzle) and the hint really helped after searching all around. Log only has one more place to sign on it. TFTC!

Came home via Fyshwick and decided to skip the Monaro Highway and log and behold I was near a puzzle off my solved-but-unfound list. Running a bit ahead of time I just had to go for it. Some girl in the backyard was overlooking me, but from her reaction I'm sure she has seen cachers before. Probably the same house where the guy asked JmanJezza "are you geocaching?" from....

Thanks for the cache.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Solved a couple of weeks ago with the assistance from the kiddies. Got to GZ and must have looked like others doding the same thing as I heard a call from one of the neighbours " You looking for a geocache or somehting" to whcih I replied, " Maybe!" "can't help you don't know where it it". Made the find a few moments after that and retreated to the cover of a nearby waterway to sign the log. Replaced the cache, hopefully without being noticed. Thanks for the puzzle... And I was almost sprung too.

wandered in from nearby carefully as there was a BBQ happening in a nearby house that overlooked the area. Spotted from a distance so a quick grab and wander off to sign the log, then the same to return the cache on the way back. A very nicely crafted container.
TFTC

Found at 19:25 with matt_stomper and shell_seeker - our sixth, and final, find for the evening.

I was a bit worried about this one. Easily found, but when leaving I looked over at the neighbouring house only to see a child's head suddenly drop below the fenceline... We were being watched...

Nothing much that we could do by that stage though - I was glad to see that BigON still found it there two days later.

Thanks wink. inc

Found with matt_stomper and SW2092 on an afternoon caching adventure. A clever hide. TFTC

After a hard morning caching we stopped off at the Grand Ma pool for a swim and lunch (late).
While relaxing I worked out the puzzle and then I couldn't leave it alone.

I had the answer right but the kids wanted to continue searching the whole of the nearby infrastructure.
Despite the noise we weren't sprung - that came later when 0319 caught us returning "Funny Name".

Very smooth container too.

Quick find with Shell_seeker and SW2092 after Shell_seeker solved the puzzle. TFTC!!

Got the kids to solve the puzzle yesterday, then off to find the goods today. Love the cache container! Quick find. Hope none of the nearly muggles were looking out their windows. Thanks Wink Inc.

2740. Very nicely done - top effort on the hide. I always appreciate the effort that goes into this type of hide and this is another gem.

This needed two of us - I was following my nose in excitement to a different spot - Mr Winglen stepped out of the car and had it straight away! Thanks!

After a little bit of scanning spotted the cache, just slightly misaligned.

Nice one! Thanks for the cache.

We've seen this cache container before (on a Bridge Banter, I think,) so it wasn't as difficult as it might have been. Still great fun, and it wasn't too hot for us, as it was near the car. Thank you.

Bored at work, I decided to have an early lunch to go and get this cache as I've had the solution in my bag for a while now. Thankfully the cache was there this time (last attempt it had been temporarily removed) so signed log and went back to work happier than when I'd left . TFTC

The Geokids needed a little bit of a prompt to remember this one as they have not seen it for a while, but they got there in the end.

Ju walked past this one a couple of times before I suggested she look for something the does not belong, then the Ah Ha moment. Our return to where we parked was a little lower - even though little So was not so sure about it. I was a cooler option today anyway.

Visited Ra's Gecko - SL TFTC

I was struck by a major brain fade whilst doing this one, and despite knowing the text, I took too many goes to sort it out after that. Fortunately at GZ there were no problems. These things stick out more that they used to to me. Thanks.

my second for the day worked out the puzzle last time was down here.supprised myself when i found it.
sl

Came here once before. I worked out the location myself, but just couldn't find the thing.
the_a-team helped identify this one. This is VERY well camouflaged, yet again another one in plain sight but not obvious.

TFTC

5th cache during my night time cache run and OUR 200th CACHE!

Worked this one out a while back with Steveski74. Finally took the journey out to visit this one. Really liked the camo of the cache!

Quick find. I'll admit I reverted to the hint, thought "wtf" and then "OHHHH"....not a bad sized scroll...

1519+14=1533 with Captain Tomato

A twilight raid across the border to nab this clever cache - thanks wink.inc

Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC.

We teamed up for a quick cache raid after work this evening. Found after a short search in some of the surrounding potential hides. TFTC

This puzzle took longer then I thought the problem I had was trusting the checksums. After I worked out how they did that I was fine. Got to gz walking and gps was extact. First place I looked. Which I enjoy about mircos.
Had a little problem opening the cache SL and replaced TFTC

#177 (177+3=180) Found this morning after getting a "can you grab this one on the way to work so I can fix it" from Wink Inc. Sneaky bugger had actually moved it slightly from where he was caught!!!

Darn, thought I was suffering from cache blindness, then I get home to read cache has been removed for maintenance! Grrrr. Just have to try again another day.... or perhaps my solution is wrong??? Time will tell.

back on line afte a new log an O rings fitted

kk

Found this one with no problems. Liked the puzzle as with the double letter ambiguity I had to ensure I was thinking of the correct set of letters!

However on the maintenance side the log is very wet and given it's type this makes things difficult. Although it's not full you should consider either retrieving it temporarily and drying it out or replacing it. Also looks like a portion of it has been torn off at some point. Tightness is the key I suspect to keeping it a bit more water-proof. TFTC.

*** CACHE REMOVED BY ME AT WINK INC REQUEST FOR MAINTAINANCE ****

Looked around for a bit and then realised that something was just out of place.

Thanks,
Trillian

This one took me longer than it should have... Wandered around searching a few unlikely spots & then decided to check the clue... Ohhh! That sure helped & I had the cache in no time flat!
TFTC - the log sheet is really wet though, so probably should be replaced. I suspect the container is not totally waterproof.

Poor Trillian did all the "hard work" in solving the puzzle. While we were out on a "find the nearest cache" run she found this one in her GPS and added it to our list.

I parked the car near what I though was GZ, and pulled up the cache information on my PDA to realise it was a puzzle cache and not a traditional. Then I actually read the notes and realised I knew the answer, so some quick scribbling and I had a set of coordinates. I had the cache in hand faster than it took to solve the puzzle Thanks for the cache Wink Inc. Fortunately no one busted me today.

Thanks to Mrs O319 who solved the puzzle ands to McKenna who told me who abcdefgh was (like I didnl't already know). Find was easy as I had been checking out the Geocaching store the night before....

[This entry was edited by O319 on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at 4:23:09 AM.]

Nice humourous little puzzle and an even quicker find, sent a Cooeeee down the hole nearby and I was off, TFTC and nice little hide.

Well, a quick run out here, and I was nervous about muggles... Luckliy there were none near GZ. Once there, I spotted something withing less than 1/2 a nano-second! (Of course, that's only because I have used that methodology in the past)... Signed log, and left - thanks!.

How slack a new cache not far from home and leaving it ..... work has been busy so here I am at last with Budgie in tow the torch picked it out quickly much to the entertainment of the muggles in the house near by that we had not noticed.

Puzzle was quickly worked out, GZ sorted, and then a quick drive by find on the extended trip home with Fitzy

Thanks for the cache wink.inc

1420 - A run out this way this arvo to attempt the two new caches.

A quick solve of the puzzle soon had us at GZ. Making sure we couldn't be seen we make a quick find of the nicely done hide. Spent more time unrolling, signing, and replacing the cache than it took to find !

Hope this one lasts - thanks !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

If you go out in the woods today......you usually see bears......not on this occassion!! The Bear sees a Wink. Inc in the woods on this day.....hiding a cache!! Will wait for a few cachers to log this one before logging. BEWARE...if you hear a car horn, you too have been sprung by HBB - the damn thing is 250mtrs away from my cave!!

Yipee! A FTF.....found at 1030 after discovering the GPS had flat batteries, lucky home is close! Nice cache container. TFTC

405 I was second to hunt this one down this morning. A fun little puzzle and hunt. It turned out to be a nice day for a caching run. TFTC
