Blackboy Stump Capel, Western Australia, Australia
By Moneybox on 06-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2HWYZ

The reason the contents were wet is because someone has STOLEN the entire blackbody stump which was the fitted cover over the cache container leaving it completely exposed to the elements . It took a lot of work to make this cache and we're not going to do it again..... so bye bye Blackboy Stump. Thanks to those who visited it since 2010 .

This cache is wet.... a previous cacher did not replace the lid correctly. Will dry out and fix as soon as possible.

??

Lid was off cache and so totally wet. No trackables inside. Everything wet and dirty. House is for sale so probably need a new location.

Glad I eventually found it even though not in good condition.

Found it, however it's soaked through and needs maintenance asap

Interesting location - first time I've actually found a cache in someone's front yard! Thanks Moneybox for the cache.

Good one!

Great spot just felt a bit funny going on someone property

Easy

Quick find after a stop at the local bakery. I recommend the broccoli and cauliflower cheese pie. Another clever hide. TFTC.

Thanks so good

Coffee stop in Capel and made a quick find nearby. Nice job! TFTC

Woohoo !!! Found it !!! Felt a bit apprehensive logging this one but no dramas in the end

Nice one for the kids! Thank you!

Cool cache. Found with mum (familysteiner).

Very cool cache! Needed a bit of bravery to approach this one. Unfortunately I was not able to sign the logbook as in today's 40 degree heat the lid of the cache had seized up and no amount of prying would release it. TFTC

After a quick bite across the road I plucked up the courage to venture in a grab the cache. Quick grab. TFTC

Kids loved this one after the nerves of going into the front yard

nice one moneybox

Awesome cache moneybox. Clever. Tftc

Tyftc moneybox love it one of my favorites

We were stumped with it for about 2 minutes then found it

I was heading down south today and I decided to try tackle this cache. I stopped in this town and decided to try grab this cache in my spare time. I walked in through the entrance and spotted a likely object as soon as I got to GZ. It turned out that this was the geocache.
Moneybox, I found your cache ‘Blackboy Stump’ today. It was the sixth find of six finds with zero DNF’s and brings my total count to 584. The cache was found in a good condition so I signed the log book and replaced it as I found it. Thanks for the hide.

Awesome little spot. Geokids loved it Tftc

Thanks for the hunt

the stump was knocked over

I had enjoyed a day of pedaling around Capel
But one cache was annoying me.
One I had ridden past earlier this morning while I was still wiping the sleep out of me eyes
Nah !!! Couldn't be there, must be an unknown cache !!

Later in the ride I discovered that this was indeed a traditional cache.
So stopped off on me ride back to towne.
Bugger the cache ... the bakery is open

About 10 minutes later I returned to the spot across the road, while the lunchtime crowds at the bakery enjoyed their freshly baked goods as much as I was doing

A quick read of the cache notes between bites,
and I realised that I could see the cache [:o]
Dare I ?
Well the notes say it's OK !!
Nobody seemed to be home ...
... the muggles across the way were distracted ...
... and a minute later I was back at the bike nonchalantly finishing off me purloined pastry

TFTC.

Felt a bit strange snooping in someones front yard but glad for the smiley face on the map. Thanks for the hide! Heading back to the arrow series after a short lunch break in capel.

Clever! On a quick lunch break in Capel.

This one certainly gives me the creeps. i dont like going into peoples gardens, but in the end it was okay. TFTH.

Very well hidden! Never would have guessed the stump!

Found very nervous. Owner came out and talked with me. He is leaving cache there and people welcome to go but please don't disturb dogs.

We are not new to geocaching but still really don't like front yard caches. Do the neighbours know? Are they going to call the police?
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

Found it TFTC

Very nervous to actually grab it! Felt like we were intruding. Haha. Thanks!

Great cache, thanks.

Taking the Scenic route back to Perth as the Highway is still closed. What a great cache, thanks!

TFTC. G+C

Found it easily after sneaking through the cover. TFTC

No Weed-O done, but we did drop a TB.

1st find on our trip down south
TFTC

Called into Capel on the way home from Dunsborough to pick a few local caches! Nice camo, was a bit apprehensive standing outside until I read the details.

And is there also one by the Capel IGA?????????

Well done , a. Nice little town

Found it. Took TB

Great little find to top off ice creams at playground. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.

Sneaky!!

Arrived at GZ and wasn't sure what to do from there. Read the description again and then everything became clear. Another clever hide. Tftc.

Dropped off the trackable here today.

Found after driving all the way to Dunsborough, just for Simmo's ice-cream.

Bit strange going into someone's backyard, but kind of cool and sneaky! Nice bakery over the road.

Was a bit concerned about being in someones garden, but managed to find what we were looking for. TFTC

TFTC

Well done , odd feeling walking into someone's property ..!!

Easy find once we got the courage to go beyond the wall

Yay! TFTC

Well it's always good to put a little bit of awkward into every day TFTC

Felt a bit sneaky with this one!

Quick after school find

Well this is one of those caches where you should read the full description before starting the hunt. Then we understood the hint better, thus making a nice quick find.

Thanks Moneybox for another smily.

My first visit to Capel after driving by all these years. Parked the GeoJazz nearby, hoping it will restart OK. Had to reread the description, then ventured to GZ where we made a quick find. I walked back to grab a couple of tags for the little Tagbox. TFTC Moneybox!

Elrin and I parked basically right across from this one in Capel, so after success at Town Square there was no way we couldn't divert past this on the way back to the car. We had a quick find here, and while I signed the log Elrin pulled up a few weeds

Found it

A nice quiet find, I pulled out some weeds near the cache while AusLoron signed it. Thanks for the cache

Find 15 of 16 after the WA Goes Big 2015 weekend.

With food ordered at the cafe, geodad took a stroll across the street and gingerly crossed the threshold into the garden, which felt a bit weird! Happily it was an immediate find. Thanks for sharing this one and all your other caches which have been highly entertaining all weekend.

Found this one with Leega on our way home from WAGB. Stopped at the bakery and thought I would check for nearby caches. Seen this one and had to grab it. Cool cache. TFTC Moneybox.

Wow found this with some 'apprehension' with axell33. I'm sure like others before us we were not too sure of the caches exact whereabouts. A quick sneak and we had it! Great hide thanks for the cache.

Nice quick find while getting a few more in town

Great one to finish the day.

Haha kewl fun find !! a little scary to sneak in and grab !! Haha

Team moose

What a great find with my friend Tara for our last one today. Felt like a was trespassing! What a rush! haha Thanks.

Thanks Moneybox. Love your detours on the way home

Tftc great camo nice spot stop at the pub for lunch then went for a walk

12:32:00 PM. Continuing our trip we have decided to head towards Collie for a couple of days. Pulled up in town for lunch and a walk around. A good hide. Signed log and replaced. Thanks Moneybox for placing this cache.

Jinta29, AlliedOZ, and I had planned a couple of days down south for some time now. A bit of planning for WA GOES BIG, and a lot of caching as well.

Jinta jumped the fence and made the quick find here without the tenants knowing

I'm Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.

Tftc well placed!

Tftc bakery here we come.

Life's a bunch of roses

Dipping in a couple of bugs from Hawaii to give them a merry Christmas feeling. Will move along shortly.

Swapped TB's: Bunny out and Stunky in.

Dropped off a cute little silver bunny TB we brought back from Hawaii.

TFTC! Down in Capel today to pickup some moneybox caches that I ran out of time for on my recent trip to Bunbury. Thanks

Fav for something different.

All good to go now. Happy caching.

I have removed the contents as they were damp and getting mouldy. Will replace with a new log and goodies asap. Sorry for any inconvenience

Kinda shy to go in someone yard but was fun haha, needs a new plastic bag log is wet. Thanks

On my "Round Aussie Trip", my son, Brother Colin, flew in from Brisbane for 5 days with me, and IolantheK, also from Brisbane arrived a few days later, to travel the Nullarbor with me. We did a road trip to Busselton and back caching, thanks for the caches everyone. TFTC

Day 4 of my trip to Perth and surrounds to catch up with my Mum, triciac2.
But we picked up another friend for a couple of days, IolantheK.
We were staying at a caravan park at Woodman Point but today was 'ROAD TRIP' day.

My Dad (Sweet-Sour) and my sister (doscrapbooking) have a couple of cache scattered south of Perth. So today we took to the hire car and clocked up over 400km finding those caches, plus coupe of others along the way.
I also had a pile of TB's from the east coast to drop off.

While in town we found a few easy ones before moving on. We also had an awesome lunch in the Cafe in town.
The home owner walked up behind as we realised where this cache was and invited us in.
Thanks for the cache.

I'm in Perth with Triciac2, because tomorrow we are taking a 3 week driving tour to Adelaide But first we have 3 days here with her son Brother Colin for some caching. Yesterday we got ourselves settled into the Woodman Point caravan park for 2 nights, and today we are taking a day trip to Busselton and back in order to collect BC's dad's and sister's caches along the way.

It was a little strange going into a private yard, but we were invited in by the resident. The cache was a neat hide. TFTC, Moneybox.

Found it, but the log book is very wet and many of the items are dirt-stained. TFTC, though.

Book is all wet but this one was good! Thanks
