I'm sick of replacing wet logs. Obviously there are waterproofing issues so see ya later.

Found it very quickly which i was happy about since it was raining. I took the whole cache container under the bridge so i could extract the log in the dry. I'm sorry but i accidentally ripped the bag and the log was really wet and i could only open it enough to write net. Can the next person please take a new bag and don't forget tweezers because the log is really stuck in there. Thanks for the cache

Brilliant! Well thought out although log is getting a bit wet. TFTC

I had attepted this cache a long time ago, back when I was fresh to all things caching and came up with a DNF. But today with an eager local muggle in tow, my sister, I thought I could find it. However, I was a little bit disappointed when my sister after a small search said to me that maybe she had found it? A quick scan of the area for the local holligans we could hear not far off and I reached to retrieve what she had found.

Success! I think my sister may be a born cacher!

TFTC K8'n'Co

Well, Hidden in plain site. Found it but didn't.

Seems I was presumptuous with my "it's empty" log. Too many K8nCo caches for me maybe? Silly me expecting a similar hiding device as a particular "Communication" cache I have done close by & recently.

Went back after seeing the :found it logs"...and I was like...Wha'?.....

So back I went. *Forehead slap*.

new log in place

Found after finding a park in the nearby fast food outlet. Quick find and took some getting out but managed to get it after a few attempts. Tried to scribble name but pen didn't like it. Log is very wet! Very clever hide indeed. Thanks for the hunt K8'n'Co.

Log too wet to sign. Needs replacing
Sorry didn't have anything on me to replace it.

A classic K8 hide. I thought for a sec we would need some special tools, but it turned out a carkey was more than sufficient. Log is rather wet but otherwise OK. TFTC once more.

Such a great cache! Love the ground work k8nco puts in!
Unfortunately the log is soaked and needs maintenance
Tftc

Nice walk to GZ and after avoiding school-based muggles completed log. Beginning to worry that we are thinking like you!!!

Log very, very wet and need of some loving care.

So- Took my dog for a walk this afternoon, and dropped by this one. You know how it is. A cache is Awesomely close to home...but you never get around to getting it.

Well...I go there, I found it. But it was empty.

Dropped by this cache just after lunch at the nearby shopping village. All was good. Log was wet but just able to scratch our name. Tipped out as much water as possible. Thanks K8'n'Co for another interesting find.

Found with McRunBecks, Tftc

Out night caching with scubacapers. very nice hide had us guessing. Another container I will have to copy.

nothing is ever what it seems with k8!
another great spot, tftc

A classic K8 hid
TFTC

Waiting for a nearby Asian takeaway to make my lunch so I figured it would be silly not to walk around the corner to get this one.

Was a nice quick walkby as you said. Was a little bit damp but still quite usable at this point.

Thanks!
Frewster =)

I liked this one. I got a fright though as there was a gekko that had made home in part of the cache. It was really wet and I had trouble getting the log out. Thanks for the effort in the hide.

Never ceases to amaze me the amount of different types of cache containers K8'n'Co come up with. Lets see what the next one brings. TFTH

looking around for this one thinking its got to be here somewhere... next minute... ummm, thats not quite right; oh its da cache..

another cool container

TFTH

nice quick find

i think we are onto you mr co

3pm, time for coffee. It's also trying to rain on me. Been out caching for about nine hours now, About 30 caches so far. Time for a short break. Favourite Giraffe-themed coffee shop nearby (POI's on my GPSr), and a Coffee fusion (cold) drink in hand. Rain stopped whilst I was in ordering (perfect timing), so thought I'd just wander over to the Boardwalk.

Been doing K8'n'Co caches all day, so I'm afraid to report that I spotted this one straight away. Clever hide though. With tweezers in hand (necessary) and no muggles around (also necessary), cache extracted, log signed, all returned in a flash.

Nice

Wandered back towards the car (via Spooks, a different story), finished my drink ... and back into it for the last few hours of sunlight.

TFTC. The first one for the day, a nice quick grab and then lunch at the nearby takeaway establishment.

Well I was relieved that it wasn't in rather horrible place that I first suspected it would be! Mr Wafflemonkey found it quite quickly and I was duly impressed. Clever hide! SL, TNLN, TFTC!

Great hide as usual TFTC

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

After a slight moment of missing the obvious from Gaz, the cache was soon in hand after small comment from Fangsoki put us back on the right track.

Now that finding the cache was out of the way came the time sign the log... this part seemed to be difficult for all today it was wedged in there very well and took some time to retrieve. After a few moments the log was soon under pen and names were being scribed in

TFTC K8'n'Co

Gaz'n'Kab

After lunch #1 nearby, it was noted by Fangsoki, Gaz'n'Kab and myself that this one was far too close to not grab. Walked down sucking the last of our drinks and I got distracted watching something shiny float down the creek as Gaz spotted the cache. However he was stumped trying to get the logbook out and it was Fangsoki to the rescue. Cache signed and replaced, and I did enjoy the hide, very clever and unassuming. TFTC.

Found with kiwibanker good hide cheers

Nice quick easy cache with Alkzura and the geobubs. Alkzura spotted it within seconds of us arriving at GZ and we quickly had it signed and back in place. Nice camo as always. TFTC

26/11/11 4:56 PM Find #688
NyletaM and I walked straight up to this one and located it without problem.
Waited for a few pedestrians before returning as we found it.
Tftc

Find #488 at 3:29 After spending an embarassingly long time searching for this one the last time, and having been completely muggled out at the attempt before that, it was very nice to finally turn this one into a smiley face TFTC, nice hide, we enjoyed it!

All repaired

Find #632 at 15:36 after seeing it freshly re-enabled hours earlier.
I saw this one as I approached this time, while the stupid iPhone GPS was stuck on "60m away". How on earth did two of us miss it last time? Extracting the log baggy from the cache was the only difficult bit. TFTC, K8'n'Co. Nice to convert another frownyface to a smiley.

All repaired and back in place.

Another one close to home-so tried on my afternoon walk. No wonder I didn't find it! - Will wait.

Container is damaged so I have removed the cache for maintenance.

log book is very damp almost soggy ,

I always clever caches and this one did not disappoint , however log was very damp
TFTC

12:42PM

The log book was saturated in this one, and barely able to be signed. Additionally, the bag for the log was broken, hence the possible log book saturation. Sorry, that we had no replacement logs with us.

TFTC, K8'n'Co.

12:42PM

Another clever hide by K8'n'Co, however too many water dragons around for my liking.

TFTC, K8'n'Co.
GemJay.

Great hiding place TFTC.

I had the area to myself

Started a systematic search looking for the obvious... no luck went back through with an eye for something different. walked past it the first time though. but the brain must of registered something as I got it the next lap.

The log book was wet. so I allowed it a little time in the sun and dried it a bit. It could do with a hairdryer I think.

My previous two attempts at this cache were foiled by loitering muggles under the bridge and I was not about to share my time with the, so I moved on...

This morning, I brought Kaisho53 along for the ride figuring he could shoo them off if need be and I could set about the hunt... Luckily, GZ was deserted and we had the place to ourselves... [^]

Naturally, wanting to spend some quality time in the area, we ignored the hiding spot for a while and searched places far and wide before zeroing in on the container. We could have saved ourselves a lot of time and indeed, the need to go where we went...

Log signed though, all was good in the world and we set off to find the next...

Cheers K8'n'Co.

Found it today..

1st attempt for me 2nd or 3rd for Gunnie69....

We approached GZ read too much into to the hint & Title & wasted a bit of time searching high & low in the wrong area....

Noticed what we assumed were unwanted proceeds of a shoplifting exercise along the creek bank (3 - 4 pairs of jeans all looking in good (read new) condition chucked away)

As we looked all around Gunnie suddenly commented 'Oh there it is' so we quickly repositioned to GZ for a sign in..Sneaky Hide Mr K8'n'Co...

TNLNSL


Thanks K8'n'Co for the cache

I really liked this idea for hiding a cache almost out in the open. Thanks for a creative hide.

Tried this one 12 months ago and didn’t get close. GZ at that time was very close to the nearby scarlet eating house. Much easier today. Good hide.

Found with sniffme on a fun day of caching.

found with Krewlworld and Maxxx the naughty dog

No luck for us tonight. The published coords don't seem to align with the hint. The ones left by previous finders seemed closer, but still not close enough, or we're blind (which is more likely.)

I'm developing a bit of a habit of DNFing K8'n'Co traditionals lately.....

Quick find once we had new co-ordinates. Clever cache container. TFTC.

=( DNF, should have read peoples updated co-ords ?? =(

Found today after lunch at the nearby 'restaurant'. A clever hide once again, thanks K8'n'Co.

846 - This one had evaded us on at least two previous occasions so we were determined to leave this one with a smiley face today. Used the coordinates left by some recent finders which had us searching in a better place then our previous visits. Found once some muggles had moved on from the nearby bench. Awesome hide K8'N'Co - another classic. The log book is a little damp, but is still in okay condition, the bag is doings its job. Thanks!

Extremely wet conditions are causing water to inundate caches. As soon as the weather improves I will inspect and make any necessary repairs and log replacements. Rather than disable the cache, logs can be submitted on a dry piece of paper and will be accepted even if they do become damp.

[black]S27 23.903 E152 57.650[/black] Excellent hide spot. Like this style. Sign the log. Thanks K8'n'Co.

Very interesting little cache this one! Coordinates are pretty innaccurate. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks K8'n'Co, clearly one of the more tricky ones I found in a while. The coordinates seem a tad out and closer to -27.398387,152.960823 I would say.

We couldn't find it. The GPSr didn't seem to have us in the right spot but we are sure it was.

Till next time.

Found this one sometime ago. TFTC

Cache has been repaired.

Removed for maintenance

Found at 1026 with my sister who was visiting me for a few days. When found the top was open and the log book in it bag was exposed so I decicded to invert it so the plug was on top, When placeed it back in it's home, my sister realised that it would now be difficult to get out. Sorry K8 and Co you may have to have a look at this one and fix it. The cache appaeared that a part may be missing and the log book was a little damp. TFTC.

DNF.
Hope that if we return we have better luck next time.
Nevertheless thanks for the cache K8'n'Co.!

We had some lunch at the nearby take away establishments and then went looking for the cache but came up empty handed. I know where we went wrong with this one, we weren't looking for a micro. We will be back.

Fantastic hide (Lots of people would look at, ignore some key features and walk away) after we headed across to get some lunch from one of the fast food restaurants. TFTC

This was cache # 18 of 34 on day one of my Brisvegas Tour. I had been caching most of the night and the near by hungry Jacks was a good place to grab some breakfast before grabbing the cache. My thanks to K8'n'Co. for the cache.

We were having a lunch break at a local fast food establishment and the cache was so close that it had to be done before heading back in to the bush for more caching.

TFTC. Cool hide. Well done.

Found with Dashadave.
Note that the coordinates are a good 10-20 metres out, but it's pretty easy to figure out where it is (although it's well hidden!).

On the way to pick up my first clue to "spooks", I swung past here to give this one a go....

After a bit of searching I found the clever hide... hmmm this could have been a lot nastier in this location

Thanks K8, I must remember to try and get to one of them Christmas caches one day

Mrs Crew wanted to visit a nearby establishment so I had a look on the GPS and found this one very close.

I had a brief look where the GPS was pointing and then had to decided, "Do I follow the GPS or the clue?".

Easy decision, Found the cache easily after that.

Clever hide but we were tempted to go and have lunch at hungry jacks because the gps was pointing at the drive through. TFTC

Once homeless muggles begoned themselves - I managed to track down the beast. Excellent container. TFTC!

Been meaning to come out here for ages, but never seemed to make it. Perhaps next xmas, you can move it back and I'll find it where it's supposed to be. Mrs Lat&Long found this one. We took a side each. TN/LN/SL.

Found at 2212 by the Geogranny on the quest for our 200th cache.

We looked this one up before we left and noted the name change however we still had old co-ords in our GPS

Geodaughter and Mrs Simia went off to the original spot while Mr Simia, Geoson and Geogranny stayed where the name implied and sure enough, Geogranny picked up this very sneaky hide pretty quickly

Kms for my TB Shirt recording all Caches I have been to.

Quick walk by thanks for the cache

The council decided to disconnect the tree lights and in doing so removed the cache and its hiding spot.

Undergoing seasonal changes

High muggle area!! Nice easy find as it's starting to look a little out of place!! Merry christmas and happy 2010! TFTC K8'n'Co.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 2:52pm. Walked right up to it but it took a little while to know what I was looking at: a great cache. TFTC

WOW again K8'n'Co, clever one hide, make me yummmmmmmy smell food and keep eye on drive thru... thanks!!!!

Clever

Nice one

Found it, stealth, certainly required, visited during daylight hours busy, so decided to come tonight, and made a quick grab signed the log and returned hopefully unseen. TFTC

Nice and quiet and muggle free this morning, just a few cars going by.
SL. TFTC. Merry Xmas.

Well I thought I'd better find this before Christmas is over. There were a few muggles here and there but they were busily buying Red rooster and Hungry Jacks for Christmas eve dinner so didn't notice me. TFTC.

GPS down when within 8metres but found in 5 minutes.

Sat on a nearby seat and spotted it, but alas, far too many muggles around to even think about getting it and signing the log.
We will try to go back on Xmas morning when it should be quieter.
Thanks for the cache K8'n'Co and all the other wonderful, interesting and entertaining caches that you have hidden.

Merry Xmas to you, your family and to all the other Geocachers, may you all have a safe and happy holiday season and a great new year.

Very sneaky! I thought it was apart of the decorations!

Mr K8 from the size of your trees it appears you have been spending years planning this Christmas Cache. On arrival at GZ I was guided to the cache in the tradition of Christmas long before I had dismounted the geocycle.

Those muggles nearby who are unaware are unable to see the true meaning of caching. One day they may know what they are missing

Merry Christmas to all cachers, I trust Santa will have a few caching items in his bag to bring a smile to your face.

at 10:30. TFTC K8'n'Co. Up to your usual ingenuity and audacity Merry Christmas everybody.

Thanks for the Christmas cache Found with VWNuts, Baroki Scout and Miss Shy!

Merry Christmas All, Thanks For The Cache.

Found with the family (Baroki Scout, Taylz and VWNuts) on junk food night.

Loves

After a brief meal with family at one of the local establishments, we headed off in all the wrong directions to do the cache...

We love K8'n'Co caches... we really do! They always bring a smile

Found with VWNUTS, Miss Shy & Taylz.....

Merry Christmas all & Ta Much!
