In Plain Sight Moggill, Queensland, Australia
By Sweetasthat on 26-Jul-09. Waypoint GC1WCP3

As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

We went by today and didn't realise this was disabled and it certainly wasn't their Look forward to seeing the cache container

I will get to this one as soon as.

Been to site to discover it has indeed been muggled! Will rebuild & replace as soon as.

see log below

As per Fangsoki's log this one was spotted in pieces all around the area. All the bits are still there but damaged and this needs attention. Thanks Sweetasthat

This was our first hunt and first find . Got a fright by the occupent living inside!

Well Lokipagan and I did find this one - but it was in more plain sight than intended. It looked as though it had been muggled and everything was strewn everywhere. We gathered everything up and re-hid it as best we could. As we were unsure of the original hide, the owner might want to go check this one. The log book was looking a bit average. TFTC Sweetasthat

Found it, very well hidden. Very wet and muddy

Nice one I didnt take anything but added a tek screw. Have fun.

Good spot, but i couldnt get the capsule out of ground, so unfortunately i could not write in log.
I got drenched tryin to find it too lol:)

Found at 1015hrs with bluegonz. Took a fair time to find this one and got beeped and waved at by a passer-by in a van while we were searching. (Another goecacher?) This is a good hide.
Thanks Sweetasthat.

found with anddad after after a long look and a reread of the cache notes, well hidden, tftc

TFTC - was having a bit of bother finding this, so after some time, hubby joined the fray and his eagle eyes spied it exactly where it should have been. Loved the guard keeping the cache safe - very cute. Left smiley magnet, took baby chick - too cute to leave behind.

This was a tough find. Coords slightly off but persisted. There are a lot of this style of hide around here and it is lucky this was one of the last for the day and not the first or I don't think I would have found it. The spider got me, no high pitched scream but a bit of a wrist flick. TFTC

Another find with Chimpa.

This one had us guessing for a while. Finally spotted the ribbon and then it all became clear. Like the previous finder, we also had problems accessing the cache. It probably needs a quick repair but we did not have a suitable tool.

Yes, we found the spiders too!

Had I not had the assistance of Papadavid, I probably would have given up on this one. GPS wasn't quite sending us to the right spot, and I was struggling to spot "The Blue Clue". We read the logs and decided that we weren't looking for a conventional hide, but still no luck. Just as I was ready to head back to the car, Papadavid spotted the ribbon, inspiring one last burst of searching, slightly away from where the GPS was pointing. Aha! That must be it! But alas, accessing it was a touch tricky (it was slightly broken). Papadavid and I both ended up with minor thumb injuries, but a quick check of the car boot yielded a helpful tool.

We quite possibly wouldn't have found this if we hadn't spent weeks looking for a similar hide a little closer to town. The other cache uses the same logic, and is rated 4 stars for difficulty. This one could easily be rated a 3 or 3.5.

Found this cache quite quickly as it was exposed. We had a lot of trouble getting into the cache. Have covered it a bit better. TFTC

Found it No. 2823 ... Clever hide ... TNLN

Yes this one is in plain sight ,watch out for spiders,but you will have to look every where,very clever hide,cahe was a little damp

A lot of thought went into this hide...........not been geocaching long but this the best hide I have seen

Once we spotted the ribbon, it wasn't long to find this one.

Clever hide.

Log was a bit damp.

Oh finally found it, Oh clever hide!!! good one.. we like it....

Very clever indeed. Took two trips and the help of my spouse (who made the find) but finally success for this novice.

What a tricky little hide.

Well done....it's so nice to find something that's a little different

Thanks

No blue ribbon on tree to be seen but searched GZ area to no avail. Thought scrub turkey nest looked interesting but still no go. Aaaaaah!!!

What a great cache. A very devious, clever hide. Took me a while to find it.

Found this one at night....Bright Xenon torch, small torch and a Stig torch!

Definitely in plain sight!

Almost gave up when Ahhhhaaahh, that doesn't seem right! Very sneaky hide indeed! Now this definitely beats doing the ubiquitous Eclipse Tins & Sistema containers!

TFTC!

Found the ribbon, but no cache. Not so Plain Sight...

Our only DNF for the day. Found the blue ribbon but it was about 7m from GZ according to my GPS. Turned over every rock but no christmas joy .

Spend a little while at GZ but wasn't able to come up with the goods. Found the blue tape on the ground and put it back in the nearest tree.

Till next time

Cor !! I'm glad I tackled the nearby Clearly Visible cache first
I doubt I would have found this one if I wasn't clued into the devious nature of these Sweet As hides
It still took about 10 frustrating minutes of poking about before I found the cache [^]
Once again....yer got me
TFTC.

After doing a couple of similar caches close by I was in the right mind set to tackle this one. Search for a little while and yes... got it! Another very sneaky one, TFTH.

DNF today. Not where we looked and we looked fairly thoroughly.

As a team with aussie pixie we still spent time searching. Eventually found the clever cache
Brilliant.

Another clever cache, GPS spot on and the ribbon was a help
Don't believe everything you see.
Well done.

Thanks Sweetasthat for another cleverly disguised cache.

Found with Wahlenbergia and Hamstrung. Congrats on a great hide. Had to sign log quickly as a muggle appeared nearby. TFTC

HInt of blue ribbon very handy. Very cautious due to booby trap warning but survived that ok. TFTC.

Oh, you mongrel. That boobytrap scared the daylights out of me. I think it's the fourth one of them I've found and every time I jump. At least I've learnt not to throw the GPSr in the process. TN/LN/SL. I found the co-ordinates pretty accurate, even if I did have trouble finding the tree with the ribbon [:o)]. TN/LN/SL.

Ah... found it after a bit of search.. lucky not an hour search.. phew!..
clever one... there were muggles over there doing their business.
TFTC

Aha... found it this time... After already having the Mexican and Camo in the park under my belt, I thought I would have had better luck with this one last week but, t'was not to be. During the week I solicited a little info from a previous finder, who highlighted a suggested GPS offset that could make life a little easier. So, I wanderred to GZ, applied the necessary offset distance and circumnavigated the area. Found what I was looking for within a couple of minutes... [^]

A nicely crafted cache. Cheers Sweetasthat.

A clever cache (including the distraction) . Nicely put together too! TFTC Sweetasthat.

I had a scout around for this cache but had limited time. I spent about 10 minutes hunting aroud what my GPS suggested was GZ however, I came up empty handed. I will be back to hunt again...

FTF at 0730. Well what can one say about this. Very clever hide with the container used.

YES it is in plain sight and not covered by any other type of materials natural or man made at this time. Nature might play some tricks with falling leaves over time.

The Camo is on the gnd It took me 30minutes to find it as my GPSr at me on GZ at the listed co ordinates but I found it 5meters away from here and had walked right over the clever camo on the way to the listed co ordinates GZ. Canmo in the Park and The Mexican came readilly to mind when I found this one. Took the FTF pin but somehow managed to lose it. Took nothing else and LN. TFTC.

Very clever hide, coords were out a bit but could easily be seen ON THE GND. Found with help from YOF. Cheers.

Was in the area today so had a bit of a look.
I must have left the specs at home because it certainly was not in plain sight at my estimation of GZ.
Try again another day, when I get some more beads and axes to trade with the locals!

Spent about 15 minutes looking for this one the other day, to no avail. I'll be back!

I was amazed that this had gone unfound for so long, so after decyphering the coords for the nearby Indy Jones cache, I went a huntin'.

After about 15min of searching, my little one became increasingly vocal about the fact there was no slide in the area were were searching, but there was a big slide for her to play on on the other side of the park; so we abandoned the search and went to play in the playground.

I'll be back.
