Can't blame it on the muggles, there were hardly any. But no luck finding it. Will have to try again. Smile

#400: So many muggles around today...easy find, but difficult to return it to its location. Had to wait about 20 minutes before it was clear to do so.

Decided on a bit of spur of the moment caching today just with the Android and a pen I scrounged up in the car. The caching bag was at home with all the little tools I normally carry.

Found the cache quickly but couldn't remove it. Scrabbled through the glovebox and found a box I had purchased some time ago when a similar situation arose and soon had the cache out.

Next I couldn't get the lid off, sweaty hands combined with it being over tightened by the previous finder. Note the o-ring is no more. Scrabbled around in the boot and came up with something that could get a grip and the log was signed.

I saw what I was looking for as soon as I pulled up (it was not there last time...). A quick inspection and back to the car for some tweezers, after a minor extraction the log was signed and I was on my way, Thanks for this cache
 
29-Dec-10
Found it but did not sign log, as I did not have tweezers with me Wink

Fantastic Camo. We got it pretty quickly, but others may take longer. Well done, thanks.

Cache was missing and has now been replaced.

Timed it badly - too many muggles to have a real search.
 
13-Nov-10
Not too good at finding the tiny ones!! But thanks to a good eye from evilno9 we tracked it down. TFTC!

Swung by to collect this one while we were in the area. Some very uncharitable people had taken all the parking so it took longer to park than it did to find the cache. Nicely hidden and well camoflagued. TFTC

Sneaky little thing this one... Had spoken with kevsteam about this a couple of weeks ago while making a purchase from the shop, then a lucky tweet during the week gave me an idea of what to look for before I headed out. Still took a bit of searching out with mel_ramsay but we got there without too many looks. Look forward to seeing what else you come up with! TFTC

It wasnt until after I had made the find that I realized what the hint meant. Great camo and a very clever hide, well done. This had me thinking. Thanks.

Busy picking the last of the flowers we need to pack tonight, while TXT alert beebs keep going off. When one is for 'Hobsonville Charity' I make a quick dash to the house to grab the GPS and cache details. I know this spot well - our children all went to this school. Arrive to find Kev waiting to greet the FTF. Soon had the nicely hidden nano found, then the job of extracting the log! Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin FTF # 292 Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin
Still chatting with Kev when Stu4 turned up as well.
