Lynched! Doonside, New South Wales, Australia
By ruffasgutts4x4 on 05-Dec-09. Waypoint GC21Q8F

Another one bites the dust.....
So tired of renewing containers because their never returned to hiding spot's the way I intended.
Thanks to all past finders but its time a new cache was placed in this terrific park by another cacher.
Good night Lynched!

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Looked and looked and looked and looked but couldn't find this cache.

our only DNF for the day. We are on a Cachpedition in Sydney from Coffs Harbour, we are caching with family that have found this one before. They believe it has been muggled. We didn't have much time to look as the rangers were trying to usher us out as soon as we arrived even though the park was still open for another 20 mins.

Checked everywhere, but to no avail

Can the CO please check that the cache is still in place. Thank you

Not only was this cache lynched, but I believe missing. I searched and searched but found nothing. Thanks for sending me to this beautiful park. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

Took GPS a long time to settle. Pretty sure u was on the spot, but no luck.

This cache had me looking for different things before I resorted to calling many PAF's. They all came up the similar description and set me in a better direction. Their hints were very precise, and it become obvious what to look for and where to look for, but found nothing. I'm putting this as a note, because from all the info I got from my PAF's, I believe I should of found it, so I believe this has be muggled. I hope a check from the owner soon, and I'll try again later.

Amazing park come to BOP for softball frequently buy never explored this park before. Hint and logs made cache easier. Lots of mothers day muggles. So stealth needed

Geoson finally noticed it. Ingenious hide. TFTC!

Went in the rain to avoid muggles. Great hiding place. Almost gave up as geokids wanted to move on to next one. Persistence paid off in the end though. TFTC

Very cleverly hidden. A real sense of achievement when we finally noticed it. TFTC.

We were near by so though we could pick up a few in the park. The Tom Tom was great at gettings us around the internal roads as we came in from the west side. On getting to GZ we could see lots of possibilities and we wish we had read some more logs. Started with the GPSr in the phone but it was all over the place and keep making us cross the path. Thought we understood the hint so only started looking at certain items. Decided it was time to fire up the XL for a better stab at GZI. In doing that we saw something that was a like odd. Initially we thought it was just kids playing but a second look and we pulled out a cache. Very nice camo and placed a little differently. SL and replaced. TFTC

Looked around for ages but found nothing. After reading some earlier logs afterwards, think we were misled by the way we interpreted the hint. Think we were looking at the right objects, but not at the right level. Our thanks anyway to ruffasgutts4x4.

After reading the logs I was ready for a difficult find but I found it straight away. Cache and camo are in good order, clue made sense after finding the cache. TFTC

A tricky hide for sure. Very fortunate to get this one! I hope I put it back correctly :s Thx rag4x4

Didn't read any of the logs prior to the hunt. Probably would have helped. Armed with just the hint and coords, it was not to be. After the long hike on a hot, humid day, our minds were clearly on a couple pints of golden amber fluid by this time. Regards, tv

Our last search for the day before heading to the train in Doonside. No luck and can't figure out the hint. Mayb next time. TFTH

couldn't find this one.. gps kept going haywire.. will have to go back and try again..

TFTC

Thanks For The Cache
Found while out on an afternoon caching run with the geofamily

was good to finally get this one as i have been here a few times and been muggled out thanks

Found with Geofamily.

Well first time here we couldnt find it, second time we had more muggles than we could poke a stick at so didnt even leave the car, 3rd time was also DNFed this.

Today we finally created a smiley here.

I now have my own caching name and am logging on the day we were here.
TFTC

Searched for a while with Geokids and saw something out of the ordinary, unfortunately it cleary was not what we were looking for. Decided to read a few logs and while Geokids played I returned to GZ for a final look, I expanded my search a few metres while looking up and had a quick find. SL returned safely in original camo. TFTC
The rubber seal has perished!
Fantastic Reserve very close to home, I really should come here more often.

Brought the kids down for a school holiday find. Unfortunately my 5 yo has the attention span of a goldfish... No luck today.

Thought too hard but we got there. Thanks

The coords where a bit off but no probs we had our caching eyes on today....we had cih fairly quickly....nice piece of natural camo,cheers.

We were fooled to think that the camo may have been what came out the other end. SL TFTC

Had a quick look in the general area, no luck today.

First cache for me and the partner! Took us about 5 minutes, nice camo Hooked already, tftc

First cache find. Didn't take too long. TFTC.

A bit dissapointed to find this was a memorial to a polie, the title was so evocivive!
A nice little hid found quickly by Pprass
Thanks, Robmc.

15:25
Our fifth day in the Blue Mountains hunting with Pprass and Robmc.
A very nifty hide. A little while later the area was being used by a photographer and wedding party, so it would have made finding of the cache impossible - our timing was good.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt ruffasgutts4x4.

Found at 2.25pm GAFF1 in the company of Phetlern and Robmc. So why can't you have BBQ's here - maybe the Mayor didn't like them!
A tricky hide that fortunately we spotted straight away, otherwise we would have been there for ages.
Well done ruffasgutts4x4.

Feedback: The hint does not make any sense. We found the cache above head height. (hope I am referring to the right cache!)

This is another one that is constantly left without it's camo, please be sure to return it as found. Thankyou...Happy Caching

herDd found on early morning run. Took a while after extending search area

Sometimes you can blend in with the muggles, and sometimes you can't. Wearing our bike helmets and dressed for our pushbike ride, we just didn't fit in with the arrivals dressed for a wedding. We think we had a good idea of the general location of the cache, but we decided not to put on a show for the guests. Maybe our timing will be better next tine!

After a great lunch by the water we moved across to the cache location only to find a wedding congregation taking shelter of the area. Not the right day to find this cache.

On a Western Sydney Parklands cycling cache hunt Mrs B, sjamp and Greyscreek. We stopped and had lunch nearby but by the time we'd finished, this area was filling with wedding guests and we didn't quite fit in. So a DNS (did not search) really, but we'll be back. TFTC

had an idea of whare to look but phone was about 5mts off today, so put it away and soon had CIH, SL and them muggles appear before I had a chance to put it back, a break in the muggles for a quick put back before more appear, dam I am a muggle Magnet

A good hide found after a short search. SL TFTc

This one took us awhile. Was at the park for my son's 23rd birthday....just had to do a cache while I was here. I only had my iphone with me though so didn't find a gz. Closest I could get was 7 metres so just used our geosenses for this one. Nearly wasn't tall enough. Thanks ruffasgutts4x4 for the cache. I look forward to doing the other ones in the park next time.

Reperio at 1445. Wow! What a fantastic spot to spend a few hours exploring the bushland, picnics etc. I was lucky in that the muggles nearby decided to leave as I arrived, and after a search all around the area, I noticed something that looked odd, but even though I grabbed it to look at it, I don't think I was expecting to find the cache there. Works well.

Gratias.

TFTC SL.

Thanks RAGS for showing us a lovely spot to have our lunch. It was nice to find a spot when you are out caching for the day that has tables to sit at, a nice outlook and toilets.

It also made the find after lunch a bit harder because I'd had the time to read RAGS maintenance log and thought we needed to look in spots that we didn't need to look.

Something was obviously out of place and when it was examined it was the camouflage hiding another RAGS micro.

As it turned out, this cache was gone. I spent a little time trying to locate the cache in the garden, I gently held back some bushes to gain a better view where I was searching, and some passerby reported me to the Blacktown Council Ranger on Duty.

They told him I was ripping out hedges in the garden! Fair Dinkum can you believe that!
I explained what I was actually doing there and obviously there was no damage to any plant life, He ended up being fascinated with the past time and apologised for the inconvenience, seems they are happy to have our caches here still!

Anyway - Cache back in same spot but with more camo, please if you break the camo replace it with the same style again Thankyou

I arrived late in the arvo, and headed to the indicated GZ, easily working out the reason for the name as I got there.
Within a moinute of starting to look I heard louspeker announcements that the park was closing in 5 minutes, so I had to rush, and after looking at the obvious spots, I looked for somthing a little out of the ordinary, finding only one real item that fitted the bill, so just b4 I left I gave the oddity a try, and found a cache hiding there after all.
Nicely hidden, and worth the hunt.
6th and final find for today, taking me to 830 on GC (and another 200+ on GCA- if you don't search there too, you should!).

As before could not find it at the spot.

Swaped nifty fifty and can you spare a donut with 92nty6. Unfortunately we didn't find the cache but as 92nty6 mentiond it might be missing.

Although I have found this cache before, while I was doing the multi in the park, I stumbled across 4 strangers all looking confused. Just Like my partner and I was when we first did this cache.
I went to see if they were caching and surely enough they were, I gave them a little hint, and waited. I had a little look at where I had found it before, and it certainly was missing.
Not to sure if someone has put the cache at another destination.
Cpeter77 wanted to drop off his 2 bugs, so I told him I would take them off his hands at this cache and give him the 2 I had which were Bugsy Malone and Piggy Bank Geocoin.
Sorry ruffasgutts you may want to check this cache out to confirm that it is missing.

Found a few caches on a ride around the park but couldn't spot this one.

Though we would have a quick run the the reserve and score some quick finds to help teamboo achieve their 250... then we hit this one.... and 20 minutes of searching we called it quits and desided to move on to the next closest in hopes of an easier find. Will be back for this one maybe when the sun is out

Had to go hunting 4 this one my iPhone was way off....very sneaky hiding spot....TFTC

Took a while but finally found it! Clever little hiding spot. Log signed.

Second person to find it today. Having a quiet time at the nearby picnic area on Boxing day with family. THFTC Ruffasguts4x4.

Clever concealment but you can usually expect that from a Rags cache.
It took a little while to locate it in between muggles strolling by. TFTC.

Looked for a while for this one and was just about to give up when i spotted a place i thought maybe that's where it's hidden.Sure enough there it was, which means the coordinates are out which makes finding it a little more challenging. Nice cache in a nice hide in an amazing park. TFTC

WanderingAus wandered by on day 144 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip. After dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) for a few hours of line-dancing I had a long leave pass. The cache name tricked me into looking for a hangman's noose, and the coords seemed to be a bit off, but eventually I made a fairly easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 3125, TNLNSL.

Last Cahe hunt before we fly back to Canada, looked like a DNF for a while but after expanding the search area a little I spotted a likely spot and made the find. #11 in Oz. TFTC #245

Cool location.

you ort to be!!!!!!!!!
took 30 mins to find
Acko

this one took a few tries but we finally found it. Very well hidden. TFTC

TFTC Took a long while and very dangerous - many muggles on Father's Day. Coordinates a bit off but it just takes some determination.

Did not find I did lots of looking upwards thinking it must be hanging ... is it???
Brief stop, here for work from Adelaide .... TFTC

Gave this 1 a good go but I didn’t give it the respect it deserved by doing the homework before coming here. It’s been the 2nd time here & I had the place to myself. In any case micro’s are a hit / miss affair with us. Will be back in the future.

Ingenious cache, we had a long hard look for this one.

My third attempt at this cache and the embarrassment level increased with each visit!!

Before my frustration boiled over I resorted to phoning the owner for a few pointers. He directed me to a spot which I had dismissed twice before being convinced it just could not be there!! I was convinced this little cache had been "lynched" but I was proven incorrect again.

Great place to visit, just don't get "strung up" like I was.

Making our way around the reserve this one had us thinking and looking up logs before the geoson spotted the spot and it was retrieved. I wonder when they are going to fix the broken beam in the pergola. Someone noted it months ago and there's a bit of a barrier put up to stop you walking under it but no one has bothered to fix it yet. Thanks!

Second time lucky, tough little cache.. =)

Thanks!!

Quick find, nice place lots of muggles around. TFTC

Another tricky one tftc

Found after a bit of searching. Used to live at Rooty Hill but never been to this park before. TFTC.

Found after the Hideaway..
there is a No go zone( Damage to Arbor) near Cache , but will not hamper finding it..

The gardeners were here today so I left this one for another day!!

Tks ...... ruffasgutts4x4 ...... GazMag

This is my first geocache find!
I was introduced by fellow geocaches and cant wait to find more!
Was an easy find (:

Awesome job hiding it! Tftc

Had looked once before and assumed we had found the remains of the mounting device, we were wrong and it was an easy find today.

Cheers

We were here for a wedding rehearsal. We were doing the video. I sneaked off to "do some location shots", and what do you know, there's a cache in this pretty little garden.
Looks like the hole was purpose drilled for the cache. We're back here tomorrow for the wedding. I wonder whether caching clothes are suitable attire? I wonder if I can sneak off again then.
I'd be in trouble if they knew what I'm doing.

Great hide here. The youngest spotted the "difference" and nabbed it TFTC

Arrived in the general area. The GPS had us back and forth for a few minutes. Then the youngest boy, NickoHeap, begins to cogitate upon building structures and works it out before I can even retrieve it. Smart kid. Very clever little hide, too! Thanks.

Great cache, and to think I found it using year 1 maths! TFTC TNLN

Sneaky cache, Our friends found this one and got all excited about the wedding taking place. Dkmacca

Needed some assistance to find this sneaky little one- a bit of sketchy reception at GZ didn't help either but made the find in the end. TFTC!

LYNCHED, HOW APT could have lynched the makers of my gps today, was it some sort of satellite strike? we were getting "mixed signals" all day, but they seemed worse at this one.
after wandering around for ages we FINALLY found this one, sl tftc

tftc sl

Found the tricky little sucker. Found quickly but could not get it so thought I was wrong. Extra searching proved fruitless so went back for another go and sure enough I was right!!
TNLNSL. TFTC!! Love it

Now this cache is just plain mean,in a good way of course . I tried this one earlier but the man with the blower was heading my way and my GPS was putting me in the middle of the garden I knew that wasn't right so went off to do a few others and came back on the way out this time the gps gods were smiling got me really close.Had a read of a few logs knew where to look sort of, I must have looked right at it at least 10 times before realising it was the cache.Talk about perfect cammo and a perfect fit.

TNLN SL TFTC great hide

After a few minutes sevabo and I looked around the GZ and again my GPS showed other way from sevabo's GPS which she couldnt find it too so gave it up and will come back one day.

[This entry was edited by skyejam on Friday, January 15, 2010 at 11:45:45 PM.]

will come back one day again, thanks for bringing us here.

trackable dip

You the Devil in hiding!

That was a little tricky and would shore pose a problem for those no so gifted!

Coast clear and a quick poke and I had cache in hand.

Nice one Phil. Thank for the hunt.

A nice hide - thanks for the cache!

Decided not to do this at the Christmas Party as the crowds would make this find too easy.

Came back last Sunday, while the eldest son had Football Trials, no luck!

Today the youngest son spotted this quickly.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found in the company of some great cachers and following the advice of Team Casho went to the spot after finding the coords, um, just a little off, but GZ was obvious
Thanks RAGS for setting this up.. a great day !!!
TFTH

#298

Our final find of the day; we turned up at GZ to find other cachers having a good old chinwag! A few 'hot / cold / warmer / colder' hints from Lucy & Roo, and encouragement from Taiko'sFamily (Hi! Trackable now 'owned'!), ensured a quick find of a rather cool container! Signed log!

Thanks for the cache, and a great day, RAGS!

Lucky we were with a group otherwise I don't know whether we would have found this. We had been searching for awhile in a wide radius and it was near the outer edge of our search area when Tronador finally spotted it. Tricky hide.
