a quick find tftc

It took us a few minutes to spot this one, for a while we thought that the VT's may have eaten it. A quick play for the kids and then we were on out way. TFTC.
 
28-Jan-10
If the cache container had a green lid it's been devoured by the Vampire Trolls, otherwise known and the council weed whackers. The whole area had been recently mown, even under the bridge. Otherwise, I'm just blind. [xx(]
 
23-Jan-10
Had to wait for some muggles to pass by. TFTC.
 
21-Jan-10
Nearly missed it - but spotted it from the other side. I usually send the Miss in for these ones.

Easy find. Wasn't sure what the bit at the end of container was for as it was being used for hide. Hope its in the right place. TFTC

Wow, I went straight to it, a bit of a change after working on some of your maths and puzzle themed caches. TFTC Gyargh

Who needs hints with a name like that. Good one thank you!! Pity the playground was so unkempt, Put it down to Council holidays.

Quick and easy find - good example of GPS-less caching. Smile Very nice hide, btw.

Managed to do without losing any blood.

Found on what had been a beautiful day, but turned out to be an overcast evening. The grayness added to the ambiance for the spooky cache. I chose this cache in particular to be my 450th find in keeping with the theme of making my recent milestone caches spooky sounding caches. Cheers Gyarch!
 
01-Jan-10
First cache for 2010!! Thanks Gyargh!
I wish geocaching.com would not assume that the USA is the centre of the universe and allow us to log our finds on new years day, before their new year starts.
Nice easy find, makes a change from our DNF in Woodend spree of last night.

Thanks for the visit to a nice little park.

3062. Thanks for bringing us to another lovely park area. There was even a seat for Mum so she could watch us gather up the cache and write up the log. A quick find and we enjoyed the spot.

Thanks
