Many months ago on our last trip to the United States we gave this one a go, but sadly didn't find the goods. We headed off during the block party today to grab a few of the lab caches, and with one not too far away, we thought it was best to finally knock this one over!!! Last time we were here we tried for a fair while, but just could not spot it, and thankfully today there was no shortage of other cachers We made our way up the street, and quickly spotted a group searching and began to help. We checked both sides, high and low, before someone made the international sound of "found it" Woo Hoo!!! We added our name to the logbook, and headed off for a couple more caches for the day, before heading back to Block Party [^]

We were only in town for a day or so, and we knew we just had to check this one out! Sadly with the rain, a constant flow of muggles, and time just not on our side, we had to end our search without finding the cache We hope to be back one day to finally tick this one off the list [^]

Found whilst on a holiday with Chip to North America.
This cache sure was icky, stucky, and not very tasty. I will upload a photo to show what I mean at the end of our holiday!

Well, 2nd time here and I'd been give a big clue from a cacher at this afternoons get together but still couldn't find it.
A nice man approached and asked of we were looking for something as he'd already found it.
Then another cacher appeared and he'd already found it as well
So with a big push in the right direction this most excellent cache was discovered and signed
Wow
Gray cache and very hard to locate. It was a little away from where my gps was pointing
Thankyou for the cache and congrats Seattle on an inspired piece of urban artwork

Found in the company of Earthbound Chief, aka Dad. Being a photographer I love city lane ways and back alleys, there is almost always something interesting to be found. Since the family have discovered geocaching it's much easier to convince them to wander them along with me! This back way proved to be an exceptionally interesting art installation. And the emotions it can invoke in a short space of time is amazing, you run the gamut of revulsion, surprise and admiration at the simplicity of it and just how creative some people can be. It almost invites you to join in! You'd NEVER find something like this in Singapore!! Funny!
Looked for a good 30 minutes as I really would have enjoyed the find, but alas no joy for me.
Meet another local cacher, but that didn't help either.
Maybe next time, if I manage to get back here one day. Greetings from Australia.

This was fascinating and disgusting at the same time ... out caching with Geoduodudes and she made the grab, after we both made several attempts at others suspicious looking globs ... Oh well, all in the game.
OHHH WAAAA - really wanted to log this one . . . .

I was disappointed that the cache was temporarily unavailable when I was here as I don't know when I will ever be back. But I am glad I got to see this place. It was cool and gross and unbelievable. I couldn't believe all the people that were there taking pictures. Thanks for brining me here
It seems the cache is missing, but still well worth stopping by this unique landmark!
Ha ! 3rd (or was it 4th ?) time luck for me with this one. Out for a quick caching session with The Snowdg between the end of the day's sessions and the gala opeing for SC11, found around 18:00.
After a prod in the right direction for the second clue, the wheels where beginning to grind in the right direction. This time, there were no muggles at all and with The Snowdog nearby keeping watch in case, I managed to make the find ! My GPS had put me at the wrong end of the wall completely on previous visits, but the other tech soon had me at the right end and the find was easy enough.
Later in the night, on the way back from the SC11 do at the Aquarium, I ran into two more cachers lookinhg for this one too, so g'day to Bikeninja and cwhillegas !

G'day from Australia. A DNF for me today.
Arrived in town for SC11 today after a looong days travelling and with a few hours to kill before going to bed to try an sychronise sleep patterns, I decided a walk and a few caches might be in order.
I'm not good at these urban micros at all, so I was beaten by muggles, inexperience, jet lag and reluctance to probe too deeply, especially as everything was damp with rain.
I took photos of my travelling TB's in anticipation, as I would really like to find this one, so any hints from previous finders or the cache owner would be welcome !

Were taken out for a delicious dinner at The Georgian tonight by our son and daughter-in-law. I wasn't sure how they would react to coming here in our dress-ups after such an elegant and delightful dinner. But they could see the fun side of it and we really enjoyed this hunt. Were getting nowhere fast when we were approached by a muggle who asked if we were looking for the cache. Upon confirming that she said that she could show us where it was, even though she didn't cache she had been shown where it was. Yep, well that whole mess is confusing, and every bit looks like every other bit. So we hunted and hunted in the area she suggested but couldn't find it. She'd left us to it. Another five minutes or so she returned with a cacher she was able to find who was able to place us in a better location to make the find. We are Australian and she said she wanted to hear us talk again so she made the effort to come back. We are very grateful to her and her cacher friend for assisting us in this difficult find. Not easy late at night in the dark to say nothing of the ooey, gooey mess. All in all this is a fun cache. Thanks! TNLNSL
Out caching with FrodoB today. Ug, gross. Cool but gross. We had a pretty good idea how this one would be done and sure enough FrodoB found it in no time. Great job on this one. Thanks!
Caching with my geo-bud PhilNi. We talked about it ahead of time, and had what turned out to be an excellent guess on how the cache was attached. Just being there makes one feel grimy and germy.
