Log is damp and container is developing cracks. Needs some TLC before the next run of rainy days.
Whenever we drive down Portrush road, MM's dad makes a mental note "we must stop here sometime and pick up that cache by the motel". Today was the day. Parked at Joyrene's ( that really is an awful name for a frock shop!?), and quickly found, signed and replaced the cache. My work place used to use another nearby motel to house visitors from overseas. That was until someone had the air conditioner in their room fall out of the wall one night. We tend to use other motels now . TFTC honeysucker
Was checking the GPS with it indicating 25m ahead when I looked down and the cache was right there. WOW how easy was that... TFTC. Cheers
Owl had a previous attempt at this, but inaccurate coordinates were her downfall. Having been informed by previous logs that she was searching about 20 m too far south, she made a quick grab and sign today.
Nice quick find on our way back to Adelaide. Helped to have read the previous logs and determined that the coordinates are a little out.
TFTC.

Coordinates seem to be way off, but after reading previous logs, was able to get back on track and find it. TFTC
After arriving at our abode for the week last night, we were impressed that a cache was waiting for us, right in front of our window. We went and looked - to no avail . Meanwhile, a read of previous logs showed that, like many before us, we had been barking up the wrong tree. Tonight, returning from a day's caching in Murray Bridge, we tried the alternative and were immediately successful. Coords are out, but luckily we had enough time to fix the issue in our tally. What a coincidence, it's another Honeysucker hide - we have found a few on our way here. TFTC
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
This one was very easy to find. We stopped off here on our way home to pick this one up with William __121.
Sunday morning with lots of muggles, but walking the dog made it very easy once I worked out which sign I should be looking at.
A quick drive by. An easy find once the right structure was located. TFTC Honeysucker!
Quick find on the way home from work (four buses) after reading the logs and discovering that I was looking at the wrong sign last time. Google earth way out on this one. Thanx
Found with Bek-the Raccoon on an after work dash. Tried this one previously but GPSr was pointing to the wrong sign! TFTC
Out late tonight with pomoore83. Just needed to find three for the night and this thankfully was the easy final one as it was getting quite late. Tftc
Under the red sign, not the motel sign. GPS about 16ms off the right place. Easy find
On the way to Elizabeth to hit some series caching at Two Wells.
As TV_Caching suggests, the cache is not at the given coordinates.
Which other sign? Oh yeah the one I walked past, DOH!
Oh well, found a break in the traffic and quickly signed the log & replaced the cache.
Cheers honeysucker.

Fourth find on my way to the JLW at Normanville. I must remember to read previous logs, as I was about to leave after a fruitless initial search. TFTC.
This is our last day in the Adelaide region. We have enjoyed caching here, there was such a variety to be found. We also had the pleasure of meeting a few of the local geocachers.
I think the cache has been moved to another sign further on
Thank you for one of those great caches honeysucker

Quick find today while out on a nice caching run through Burnside. Coords are a bit off.
Thanks for the cache honeysucker

Two pairs of eyes looking but did not find. Maybe our minds were on the bakery across the road.

Once again the clue made this cache an easy find,had to be careful of the muggles.TFTC
One of the few caches on the UTR day that I can remember. As the driver I saw little but this one was an easy drive by with the driver being able to see the hide and cache easily. Thanks Garry.
Found as part of the UTR 5002 with the 'Easy as ABBC' team. Pity no time to get across the road to the bakery. great sausage rolls. Thanks honeysucker.
Found by Mr M-SEZ & geo-girl while her brother was in a karate class nearby. We've looked for this one briefly before, but didn't feel comfortable searching here at certain times of the night. Did the old 'fix the kid's shoes' trick here and got the job done. TFTC.
Found It!
I found locus's replacement cache. Had a look around and couldn't find the original...

My 16th cache for the night: by night's end I had done the locus cache at 27 different caches while out with mogni, earthlight and ~*KittyKat*~
The four of us searched and searched. We tried Facebook but did not receive a reply from the cache owner however we got one from another cacher who is CO's friend and also had previously found this (as had mogni) so we rang him and he confirmed GZ. Considering that we had searched the right GZ for so long, at the behest of the CO's friend, we placed a new log in the proverbial tin.
If future finders locate two caches, please let me know and I will come back and remove mine and SL in the original one!

First cache for the day after a tough match of jnr footy nearby - Go Eagles
Second find for the night! Found during peak hour while pretending to be sitting out front waiting for friends to arrive. A very clever hide especially considering the traffic at this location. TFTC honeysucker!
Was scratching in the wrong place for this one... but a quick look around in the other place we had it in our hands..
TFTC

Found this today as we were driving past... had looked before with no luck pretty sure we had looked there though... Anyway TFTC!
Not sure what the problem is with finding this one as we got it in the place where GZ said it should be. SL TFTC
We are staying at this classy establishment its a regular haunt for us but we haven't been able to get the cache we will keep looking
I didn't have much trouble finding this at night while driving around town. No muggles to bother me either. TFTC.
Tried to pick up this cache with Zirkos3 and thought we were right on the money but no luck this time!
We think we know where this cache should be, unfortunately it is not there... has it gone ??? We will keep our eye on further logs.
Found this quite quick, so obvious but not if you were not looking. Well done TFTC
We were going to Dinner nearby so decided to take a look for this one. Good Heavens look at all the gardners wandering about moving things here and there right where the GZ is. Never mind no time to waste we were hungry so GeoHusband did the wander past pretending to talk on his GPS and went in for the swoop right in front of them. Signed the log and replaced it without anyone even glancing to notice. Now were is the Restaruant? Oh it is right here too - The Mexican was yummy so if you are passing stop in for a bite to eat.
Driving past on the way home from work I noticed the entire garden bed here has been uprooted. Totally. Clear felled, if that's what can happen to shrubs.
But, as far as I could tell "from the the back of a galloping horse", the cache is still there, firmly in place, about knee height. Right next to the gardener. I don't know how he could have missed it. [|)]
If it is still there, I think the difficulty rating might be lower than earlier in the week, but the stealth factor might have to be raised a bit.

Gotta cache on 11/11/11. Great piece of 'pretend mobile phone' call by FourW while a scratched around for the cache. 'Days of Our Lives' would have been impressed by the efforts. TFTC honeysucker.
Before I laid down my weary head I looked but did not find, must have been to much Mexican inside of me, for the following morning, with a non weary head, and much less Mexican inside, it was easy.
YAY WE FOUND IT!
Easy find once I looked at the hint and pics!
thanks honeysucker

Found with kanga_cruise1 on another geo caching Friday morning.Last one for the day.
We had no problem getting our hands on this treasure. There seemed to be no muggles about soon after nightfall.
