As there's been no cache to find 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 future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Almost four months, that's a bit longer than "shortly". Needs to be replaced or archived.
Checked on this one yesterday to find the container missing. Will have another one knocked up shortly....
Very wet day to be out geocaching last Saturday. But the rain kept the muggles away. Third time lucky for this one. Took forever to crack the code. We were trying to be too clever. But overall very enjoyable cache. Thankyou.
35th for the trip with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671) on another crazy caching run. After arriving at GZ, we were faced with the problem of a security guard sitting about 5 m from GZ. After pulling the Silver Ghost Card (some of you will know the meaning of that) we more or less had him involved in the searching, and 40mins later, the finding process.
Great cache and some fun at GZ. Cheers and TFTC.

Found while caching in Albury / Wodonga with my good mate Marshy (Blacklegend17). Back into night caching mode again. Solved the puzzle before arriving in Albury. Once we had the nearby security guard on side we had a free range to search. The problem was where to begin and what to look for. After about 30 mins we thought about it and once we worked out what we were looking for, and a likely hiding spot it wasn't long before we were siging the log. Had fun doing this one. Thanks for the hide.
A friend teach me how to work out the puzzle - enjoyed it... search for while and notice something strange - yeah it was container good one.... SL. Thanks Themangoes & tony_agogo
Finally get to log this one. When this was first published I sat back and thought about where it could be, and after reading the hint I knew exactly where I would find it. It has taken me this long to find the right time were it would be muggle free to go find it.
Tonight is fairly cool so very minimal muggles about, was able to extract the quite unique container after initial panic of how I was going to do it.
SL @ 1920. Cheers.

Found on a caching trip to Albury, with Roostman and HINCO
Loved the container, excellent!

Found with Hinco & Hinklenator on a day trip around the area.
Puzzle solved long ago & now to find the cache.
Co-ords led me to a puzzling place, so we widened the search area.
Finally found it but well away from where my GPS said it was supposed to be.
Nice hide & nice park too.

I started this one as the third one for the day but had to stop as darkness had set in pretty well and start again today, found it and SL at 1.40pm. Not many people around as it was raining pretty steady

Looked at this one a bit and then it struck me! Clever. Found the cache and absolutely loved the uniqueness of the cache container. Awesome idea. SL TNLN TFTC
Mrs Havenez & Little treasure went for a quick look this evening and found this quicker than we thought! Made a quick phonecall to confirm we were right as couldn't quite get it from it's spot. Very sneaky! Love it! It all makes sense now! Didn't get to sign the log, but will get back this week to do so for sure. Thanx for a great hide!
Last find of this trip on my way home from the mega event.
Neat little puzzle and a busy spot to hide this cache.
Pretended I was making a mobile call while I searched briefly for this one.
Thanks to tony_agogo and themangoes.

A few muggles around so had to be faily stealth about this one, had a rough idea of the approx location but being a mico and so many different hiding spot i though i'd never find it. Thanks to Renee's keen eye she had it in hand and now i fully understand the name of the cache. TFTH
Last cache for the evening and a good time to get off the Albury streets I think. I had just found the cache when a bit of a blue started between a group of people who I'd seen drinking moments earlier. I quickly finished signing and returned the cache and decided that was enough for the night. The puzzle was clever and fun to solve and the location for GZ was quite interesting.
Many thanks,

Finally!!! Made it back after solving puzzle before Xmas. This time arrived at GZ to find it relatively muggle free With GPS being a fair bit standoffish a ninja like search commenced with the Queen coming up with the find which was found in a manner we assumed it would be in. Big smiles all round from us!! Great hide!
Log sheet is getting a bit tatty already,torn in half.

Thanks to the wife for solving the puzzle in five minutes, we headed off to find the cache at 8pm, but to many muggles about.
Friday morning and the city center was like a ghost town wonder why. The cache was in hand in a few minutes
Nice one thank you

Worked out the puzzle easily enough, and then headed to the location to find the cache. Only when we got there did we realise that there was muggles everywhere (I will not mention why, as it will give the location away). So we headed to the GZ, hoping that there would be no muggles there. We could see the container (well I think it was the container), but were unable to grab it as there were 2 muggles sitting there looking at us. Will pick it up at the next available opportunity.
After a couple of days of staring at the puzzle the co-ords finally jumped out at us. So it was off to GZ for an anticipated easy find only to be confronted with workmen muggles everywhere!! So had to go into nonchalent mode whilst trying to search for cache, unfortunately didn't come up with the find as we were deterred by the high muggle activity. Will try again when it's a little quieter.
Had no idea how to solve this puzzle But then walking back to the Hotel from dinner last night we stumbled upon a very likely GZ. After consulting the cache notes this morning I decided that this had to be the spot, so off I went, and to my surprize I had cache in hand within a couple of minutes. Nice hide sorry about the fact that the puzzle elued me.

Found at 0945. FTF! After a very late night at work doing some overtime, the brain wasn't in the best mood for solving puzzles this morning, but lucky enough the puzzle was solved in a couple of minutes. Went for a drive to see what I could find, and whilst I've been here many times before, and no doubt looked at GZ many times before, I hadn't really 'looked closely' at it before. With a few council workers about, I didn't want to linger to long, but after a close look at the area, the cache was found in a manner I had assumed it would be in.
I was just saying to another cacher recently we needed some simpler elegant puzzles in the area, and this one is perfect.
Nice puzzle and nice GZ.
Thanks guys.
