Sorry Folks, got sick of fixing old Kermit all the time, then the floods was the last straw.....

Well, good old Kermit has hopped a long way away this time. Looks like he may have found a new home in Rockhampton perhaps. The 2010/11 floods busted his frog muscle and pissed him right off !!! See the atttached photo I uploaded of his home territorty....... a whole freezer room complete with condensing unit has floated down with the floods and jumped over Kermit's race track.

Found the old cache but not the new cache.
Spent a couple of minutes searching around till we finally found it, well the lid. Then noticed the container without any contents over in the garden, in two pieces...after confirmation from Lone Ranger, we did find the wrong cache, so the real cache hasnt been muggled!
Thanks,
Camstal

Returned the next day with a glad bag to protect the note book and search the area for any remenants. Found half a cache and returned it to the co-ords. once we saw the container the location became apparent. Great concept. We split a radiator hose so stuck in town overnight.

Found the logbook only sitting on floor. Checked the local area and no container to be found. Left the heatcraft log book at a tree info plaque @s23 31.830 e148 09.900 as I have no containers on me. TFTCSL

# Please make sure this Cache is replaced how you find it, double-check to make sure it's 'hung up' properly, otherwise this will keep happening #

The description was a little perplexing until I arrived at GZ. I could see kermit in the distance, so took blue thunder and chased him down. Soon I had the cache in hand. Lots of fun and thanks Lone Ranger for a different type of caching experience

Our second attempt at this one
GPS took us every where ,so got up early went in search of this one had a stop at the toilet on the way ,cute little GREEN tree frog in toilet bowl and it all became clear where this cache was hiding
Geo hubby had fun with this one

2nd attempt! Not sure how I missed it the first time. Thanks Lone Ranger for the cache.

Searched without listening this cache, so unfortunately we had no chance to find it... nice idea!!!
 
30-Sep-10
We had to search for this one while being pursued by a muggle called Alex, We were very impressed with this one.
 
07-Sep-10
Called by this guy last night but was to dart to find anything so back today and as I arrived so did three muggles who had to do a few laps before they had worn themselves out. this was my opportunity to investigate and the cache was soon in hand. I like others thought this is a very good cache and I would be proud to call this one mine.
Well done and just shows what can be achieved if you think enough about it.

Now this is one sneaky, and cheeky hide. Surprisingly, given Kermits mobility ability, he was exactly where the coordinates said he would be. It did take a little hunting to find the cache, but Kermit did eventually reveal his secret. Found at 1605 hrs. I really dont know how this one survives.

Cheers

Hunting TB, but alas he has gone missing. Nice ride
 
15-Aug-10
Yeah ,went back early today & the place was deserted & we scored the prize -great hide very clever .Just shows ,persistance pays off ! TFTC x Q. Wheres the TB ?
 
14-Aug-10
Too many muggles around today & there was a man repairing kermit -we thought !! Then he did the bolt on our approach uumm.was it a fellow geocacher ,we may never know ,will watch the log & see who else visited today .Will try on our next visit .Ribbit,Ribbit!!xx
 
13-Aug-10
Nice quick find, after a few children got tired of playing with Kermit, SLTNTL - no TB in the cache as indicated.
 
06-Aug-10
Kermit has had a serious spanking and tune up. He promises to be kind from now on and stop digesting these Caches !
Please help Kermit out on your visit and replace the Cache carefully.
Cheers..........Loneranger.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 84 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, attempting a GAFF 0 find and searching fruitlessly at GZ. After resorting to reading the cache description I moved 60 metres south and very quickly found a remnant jammed under Kermit's skirt. The lid of the container and any contents were nowhere to be found - I rode Kermit's blue friend all the way around searching for any traces without luck.

I've concealed the remnant within a log on the fenceline at S23°31.861' E148°09.889', and included a photo of what I found.

I'll be in Emerald until Friday, and am prepared to replace the cache with a magnetic eclipse mint tin if the owner wants me to.

Not sure whether to claim a find, after all I did find the cache container, or did I? Ownewr please confirm.

T4TH anyway Lone Ranger

This cache is freaking awesome! Hilarious even. Best in Emerald and one of the better Ive seen so far for originality. Tricky to retrieve but hopefully that means Kermit wont eat it again! hehehe Cheers from Sydney. Left a TB.
 
24-Jul-10
Kermit is back up & running. He had a hard first couple of months, but now he is 'hooked up' ..... and I don't mean with Miss Piggy.
Have Fun,
Loneranger.

Got a few repairs to do on this one, sorry, she'll be back soon.
Cheers

The idea of placing a cache there was pretty cool, but unfortunately it didn't last very long. I hope the owner can fix it so more people can enjoy the game.
 
28-Jun-10
Yep! We found the remnants of Kermit, errr, I mean, the cache... Kermit chewed it up and spewed it out... Here's a picture of the rest...

We found the remnants of the cache. Kermit chewed it up andd spit it out along the line. Nice idea, but weak magnet... We put the rest in the bin... Will post a find with picture as proof after my holiday.... Cheers Roland aka tasdevil13

Now I know why Kermit is so good for Miss Piggy. I hope she doesn't mind, but I also feel like I know Kermit on an "intimate" basis after todays search !

Great Cache, Kermit got a good touch up. The cache lid has been split from a few laps and may need some maintenance. A few well placed pieces of velcro would sort this out. TFTC

Stopped in yesterday only to find a couple of young muggles riding on Kermit's back and not looking like getting tired of it any time soon, so came back this morning, and had the place to myself. After a couple of minutes of inserting my arm into his every orifice I finally made him cough it up. There is quite a hole in the container from the friction of riding so fast, but otherwise all is still ok

FTF. In the right place at the right time. We tried for this one last night but didn't know what we were looking for. Overnight the penny dropped and so it was an easy find this morning.
