Almost A Troll Hastings, Victoria, Australia

got too involved in the game and have lost the passion.

[u]MAINTENAINCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy] I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention as there are one or more comments in regard to the state of the cache log. Therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

A basic tenet of geocaching is that the cache log needs to be signed to record a find, see here; http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging . At the moment this would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to meet that requirement in regard to this cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be welcomed by all seekers and your assistance in this aspect of geocaching is greatly appreciated, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The rule is; if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Check out this Blog: http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/

Please respond to this situation by 2nd May to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again..[/navy]

Log needs attention its fulllll

Just as well the covered bridge was robust as a tree had fallen across the roof with little damage. The original log was full and moldy but fortunately another bag had an extension that was dry and the log could be signed at 17:25. TFTC

Cool cache team smokey bear beat as tftc

Wet log and swag we cleaned it out and dried what we could left some postits

We found a bison on the ground in the dark and need pliers to undo the log was wet TFTC placed in nearby tree

No trolls but good find!

Easy pickup because the cache was quite exposed although stealth still required in such a high muggle area
Signed log and replaced so out of sight
Many thanx to RogWat

Easy, but exciting! A bit mouldy, but still fun.

Nice easy one.

Yay! Kids found this one, so very exciting! Book nearly full & a little soggy. Loved finding it. TFTC!

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Having moved back to Mornington Peninsula to visit with family.

It was time to get back out and continue our geostreak .

We spent some days on the bike to visit French Island. On our way we logged a couple of caches and want to thank all cache owners for their work, love and effort they put into creating and maintaining these caches.

A quick find on our way back to Melbourne.
Nice little hide, but cache very wet inside.
Logbook soaked and mouldy. May ned some maintenance.

Staying in Sommers for a few days I had time to go for a few of the local caches.
Afternoon drive for some of the Jack Speak caches and a few more today.
My turning point for the day
Thanks for the hide

For some reason I thought I was looking for a micro. After a bit of looking I double-checked the cache details and took a different tack and the cache was soon found.

Thanks RogWat

Found it here is clue it is under something green also great morning to start the day thanks so much by geo-gig

Soaking wet. But attempted to sign the log

Got a little dirty climbing the bridge but in the end super simple. Tftc

We over thought it too much think simple

Found it @ 1425 with sian.elise but couldn't sign log as it was soaked. No sign of the TBs

Log is soaked.

Found it!
Couldn't sign my geocaching name down as log is saturated, needs new log!

The vulture made the find here today, sadly no sign of the TBs.
Just as we had returned the cache, a man was approaching slowly and on very wobbly legs, apparently on his way home. He tumbled over a couple of times without spilling a drop of the drink he was carrying. Maybe the troll who lives near the bridge? Actually, a sad sight though he was not complaining about his lot.
Thank you for the hide!

Great find! Cherubs LOVED this one

With the family away its just me and the Geo dog today. Going to spend the day down the peninsula finding as many caches as we can. Tftc.

We found this one a couple of weeks ago while kids were on school holidays. Forgot to log when we got home.

A quick find. Logged and made a swap. Safely tucked away.

This one took Nanton34 and I longer to find than it should have! Great Hide. TFTC!

Spent a lot longer on this that we should have and after locating the cache could have slapped myself as I was over thinking it. Cache was in good condition and good to find a good size cache TFTC

Yay found it!! Thanks

A quick find by the Mother. TFTC.

Found with #anthunting.

On our way down the Peninsula and this cache caught our eye. Found in good condition. TFTC

Found this cache as part of a caching adventure down the Mornington Peninsula where I was trying to find at least 50 caches in 1 day at least 1km apart. I only managed 30 caches but had a brilliant day so all was good. This was number 9 today. This was a quick find but I think the coordinates may be out a bit but didn't take any others today. Signed log but no swaps today

Thanks for the cache RogWat.

There was a couple of little spiders in there that mum wouldn't let me kill so be careful
Tftc

Thanks. It is in a good condition

Took a likttle time but found it in the end. Very wet daty. TFTC RogWat

Easy way to find it. Thanks for the cache.

Find #1083

I headed down to Hastings this morning to attend an event and took the opportunity to grab a few local caches beforehand.
I made this one hard for myself by looking in a couple of difficult places before re-reading the cache page. [:o)] It was a quick find once I'd done that.

SL TFTC

Yay our first find. Left a necklace and took a 'i found it' card

Was a little tricky! (: great hide

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Took a bit if searching Great hide. Left a drink card for formula lounge took a magnet.

TFTC

Good spot for a hide. Didn't find any TB's.

Very quick find from my friend, great spot too

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Just enough hidden so passing bike riders wont see it. One of the easiest caches I found today.
TFTC Wilbert67

Nice day for caching not too many muggles about. Description and clue were good. I was disappointed to find there was not TBs in the box. Do you think people don't understand you have to book the TB out of the cache? Left TB hopefully this will not disappear.

Clever hide.

Tftc

Our first find 8/1/14
Took smiley badge left billabong ranch info sheet from echuca. Lilimmo

Left a leavers 01 bracelet and took a small green toy car

Fungal under the bridge that is almost a troll? Sounds a bit like one of Mr TiedyeSmileys favourite books as a kid: Fungus the Bogeyman.
A nice quick find for us.

Day 13 of 31 day challenge and personal challenge of 48 in 24 hours, hubby Greysubmarine, JustAnnie1 and I headed out for a huge day caching in an attempt to break a lot of personal records.
This was a tricky one which had me climbing and looking everywhere. At the point of almost being at a DNF, hubby swooped in on the scene and immediately grabbed the cache, proving he is the bridge guru of our group.
Annie took TB, log was signed, cache returned.
Thanks for the find rogwat.
Mrs Gilesy.

So day 13 of the 31 day challenge, Mrs G and JustAnnie1 and my self headed out for a couple of hours of caching with the ultimate goal of completing the Jack Speak Series. We decided that we would grab as many caches on the way to do this series as we could. What a beautiful day Melbourne put on today lovely sunshine and a nice warm winters 18 degrees day. The wind was starting to pick up but over all it was a great day for caching.

Arrived near the GZ and parked the GeoKorando. Mrs G, JustAnnie1 and myself headed to the GZ where it was a quick read of the description, whilst reading the log i got a phone call, so i let the girls find this one, ten minutes later when I finish the call, Mrs G tells me they have looked high and low with no luck and that this was a DNF, i looked at spot and bingo, you would think i got some gratitude saving us from a DNF but all I heard was Ohhhhhhh, lol . Great hide, thanks for the cache cheers.

Took a while to find as I thought the info on the site was a little misleading.

Nice.

The early morning fog was lifting as we arrived at this location. After letting our GPS settle, we were able to make a quick find. The cache and it’s contents were in good condition. TFTC RogWat

Found[Time to Find: 32 min] Pointed Emily in the right direction and she had it in hand in no time. tfth.
