Found it but cant get it.
Is it in its original location?
Looks to me like mountain climbing gear needed.

Spotted but not retrieved (yet) so, technically, according to the cache, not a found
Found it a few weeks ago. Walked up the parade with a ladder and smiled at the police watching from across the road. Couldn't reach it so walked the ladder home and came back again with a broom. Glad to see more finds now it is within reach without the hardware. Great fun but esp. doing it during Thursday night shopping but dressing as a tradie certainly helps ! 9611
Found It!
Bloody PM only caches! Spawn of Satan!
Found with darksidelem and badooleoo at about quarter to midnight when there was no one else around to see me climb up there...

After a long night checking up on some underground caches (and finding some new ones!) we were feeling a bit... down.
However, we realised there were more caches on the Parade to be found! Things were... looking up!
After a bit of searching our hopes were raised, and the cache was recovered, signed, and replaced.
Thanks for the cache!

Found with darksidelemm and Laighside Legends, I think I'm too short to reach that!
We had scoped out GZ a couple of times but had been unable to spot anything cache like, today go back for another look and hello what's this cache like thing we had not spotted before, wait until just the right moment, then bang reach up and grab, took cache away, had great difficulty opening cache, screws did not want to move, but eventually we got there

We were waiting for someone to find it and place the cache in a normal reachable place !!! But NO
So we just came during night and place it in the right high !!
It is a really nice made cache ^^ well done !!
We wanted to make the challenge but mmmmm some fellow cachers doesn't wanted to share the fun with other short size caches.

Yes... I don't know why people feel they have to put it up there. It's proper position in at "hip height" for a simple snatch and go as you walk by. Drives me mad!
Found this easy and lucky on a Sat afternoon it wasn't busy. Grabbed cache and retuned to my car. Replacing was harder as a muggle was stating right at me from the nearby coffee shop. Managed to replace without being seen. Time was 1.30pm. TFTC.
Was a bit timid the first time I attempted this cache, and approached around 1930hr on a Tuesday night. Spotted what I was sure was the cache on a quick walk past and returned to make the grab. No go! Dad and daughter were eating ice cream and kept staring straight at me - quest abandoned. Returned today (Wednesday) at 1555hr and it was muggle central - but a gap in the traffic allowed me to walk by, stretch and retrieve without being noticed. Outer padding was loose so I headed home to reattach, squeeze in a TB and check the magnet would support the weight. Cache replaced in the dark around 2235hr with no muggles present so that TB should be safe for a true cacher to retrieve.
Found just after 5:30pm sunday, finished mother's day lunch, found this bad boy, a sparkies dream
Miss GG and I decided to go grab some caches after a nice home made pizza... Gotta burn off the calories some how
We arrived to a very busy area... thought this place would be deserted... never fear we were not going to let this one beat us.. So we had a seat for a bit and made the grab between the walkers..
Awesome stuff I love high risk caches.. great to have this one finally ticked off the list
Thanks for the cache Chillibutts

Today Darknstormy were bored of being home so we set off to gather a few caches
Well this one has been on the list for way too long and it was about time we got this one done. There were a few people around surprisingly for Easter sunday but the cache was found without attracting attention
Ahhh soo happy to have this one done, Thanks Chillibutts for the cache

We've been wanting to grab this one for a while & finally got the opportunity on Good Friday when there was noone around.
Great hide!

I was wondering why La Kedi was practically running to this cache and it wasn't until after she'd replaced it that I read the description. Ahh, that would be the reason she hooted with delight when the tower clock struck five. I have to admit to feeling very, very vulnerable here so took the job of trying to distract a fellow hanging around nearby and leaving La Kedi to do the retrieving. Thanks chillibutts
Oh. My. Goodness. I cannot even begin to imagine trying this at, say, lunchtime! The Marble and I arrived just before 5pm today, with perhaps just a little rush on my part, not wanting to miss out on snaffling it at the "correct" time . Muggles, muggles, muggles, and the cache clearly replaced by someone of a significantly greater stature than myself, ruling out any kind of clandestine snatch and grab. There was one chap in particular who was hanging around GZ for so long and with so little apparent purpose that I decided he must be a fellow cacher, and very nearly approached him, when he finally started heading away, though looking back all the time. Most suspicious! I tried to make The Marble chat him up to distract him but she was strangely resistant... Anyway, as he turned to look in a shop window, I leaped into action (literally) and nearly died of fright as the bells in the nearby tower rang out loudly right when I grabbed the cache. Made it! Smoothly strolled off with cache in hand to open it, glad I'd brought the appropriate tool. Replacing it took another 15 minutes, with the same lingering gentleman staring quite fixedly in my direction the entire time as I leaned casually near GZ, imagining myself to be Tigger and springing around replacing the cache. Again, he looked away briefly and I sprung into action again, replacing the cache albeit with a nasty screech which I'm sure must have drawn attention, but nobody tried to catch me as I sauntered away, so I got away with it . TFTC, chillibutts. =^.^=
Was having coffee with a friend and wanted to point out a cool cache to her, but it wasn't there. Has it been moved or muggled?
We are Very sorry but I really wanted to find this cache to night. So time of finding was 8:30 pm . Signed the little Smirch . Oh yea TFTC . Favourite point from us!
Well. Spent from 4:30pm until 5:05pm with Shakyamuni72 looking for this one
Found a mobile phone in the process! Luckily had brought along a screwdriver so we were able to sign the log.
Not sure if this cache was in the correct location based on some previous logs and comments but placed it where made more sense (about 5cm away from where we located it).
Cool camouflage and even though it was 5:05pm we still managed to look inconspicuous the time we were hunting for it! Thank you

I had searched for this one previously but only in the dark hoping to find it and then come back during the required hours to sign the log. Under torch light I thought I had searched everywhere with no luck. This afternoon after checking the satellite maps for a more precise location of the hide meant the first thing I touched was the cache. Back to the car to sign and then put it all back together to replace. Was able to do it without attracting much attention. I found the quick walk past to grab / replace was the best method to avoid attention
Nice one. A quick venture out with Pomoore83 to find this one. Mall was quiet but we had no instrument to retrieve the log. We will come back another time when all is quiet and sign. Tftc, liked it.
We had planned to do this as our 200th find today but it caused A LOT of trouble. We went to the movies at Norwood and had a look for where this one was whilst we were there. After quite a long time of searching we finally discovered the cache - somewhere we had already looked VERY closely at.
We returned home and after a while found a set of screwdrivers but when we got back the screwdriver wouldn't fit!!!!!!! So we raced over to Coles (as it was already 4:50pm and we had to replace it at 5:00pm) and bought a new set of screwdrivers!!!
By the time we had replaced and logged the find it was legitimately ***4:59***!!!!!!
This cache was our 200th find!! Definitely worth a favorite - an excellent hide!
TFTC chillibuts a fantastic find.

A very quiet isolated place tonight so a quick find and sign.

snuck in tour to get the tour of the town with 3LG & Earthlihght, getting some of the puzles that they have found. 30 smiles with only 2 DNF"S.
1112pm. was quite a few muggles around so stealth was slightly needed, forgot to bring the tool to extract the log, but a quick back to the car fixed that problem

[:(!] Over from Perth to visit our geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his family for a couple of weeks over the festive seasons, the geoson with his to geosons went shopping in the afternoon and I went with him and while he did his shopping I went and did a bit of geocaching in the surrounding area and this was one of them, on arrival at GZ I spotted the likely object, removed it discreetly and realised I need an implement to gain access to be able to sign the log, I was in a bit of a delema not having brought along my caching tools, I looked around and spotted an optometrist shop and I then had a brilliant idea, into the shop I went and asked for the right tool, the shop assistant was very obliging and finally the log was in hand.

Found last week but haven't got round to logging it! Found as first one of the day at around 4:00, on the way there I was reading through the description only to find we needed a screwdriver! Before going home to get one we pulled over and searched, no toolbox. Let's check if there's one in with the tyre. We lift the hatch up to find a screwdriver sitting on top of the tyre. Thanks Subaru! You saved our caching trip! Very sneaky hide Chilli! Fav point from me!
Spotted a week ago but no screw driver. Managed to retrieve with only a few shops open. Took back to the car and then returned.
A very clever hide. Excellent. Bike was very useful as camo for the retrieval while "I made sure the bike was ok". And of course bike tools include Phillips head screwdriver
TNLNSL - also transcribed entry from scrap paper for "The 2 Marauders 18/8/13" from scrap paper into the logbook. TFTC

#18 of 31 days of geocaching.
Find #106 for us
This cache was decided on at the last minute and we didn't quite read the description properly before finding it. A great hide in a tricky spot. Lots of muggles around at 14:30 on a Sunday so it was interesting trying to grab this one without being spotted.
Didn't have a screwdriver with us so we had to improvise and hope it counts! Signed a piece of paper we had and popped it inside the cache as best as we could.
Thanks for the great, different and fun cache hide!!

Almost at our 500th find, chasing 8 more tonight, only three more to go. Another cool looking cache and can see why it would be harder between the hours of 9am to 5pm but thanks anyway for the cache.
I had not been going to cache today, apart from one quick find and then back home for an early night, but an sms from 3LG blew that idea out of the water!
So, after another late night and a huge effort from them on reaching their 500th cache in a month of caching, I had managed between their finds to locus cache 5 times
We had a short walk to GZ and then a quick find of the what, that, there[?] variety.
Take candy from a baby, yes I would...just as I would do this cache because I am here and I can....even at about 8.30pm

Tftc, been wanting to do this one for a while. 10.00 am on Saturday morning. Travel ladies didn't have any custom which made it hard.
This one has been on my to do list for quite a while. I actually 'discovered' it some time ago late at night on a Norwood caching run but after reading the description chose not to claim a find. Then it went missing...
So after work tonight, in the middle of late night shopping I went for a find. Cache was claimed at 5:15pm while "attending to some loose shoe laces" and after a quick trip to the shops was replaced at 5:30 while pretending to wait for someone and an impromptu phone call, in between many walking, shopping and working muggles. From the glares I was getting from one of the travel agency staff my presence was not welcome while sitting on the nearby public benches, but fortunately a potential client arrived and demanded her attention.

Happened to be in the car park and could see the empty spot. Sent the kids to double check, and it's gone. But it's not October??
Popped into Norwood to grab a couple of things after going to the Burnside Antique Fair.
Got back to car lets see if a cache is near by, 67m! Lets go Joey .. oh dear, it's 3pm Saturday afternoon and quite busy.
Joey is good searching in spots that only kids can with so many around, but Mama-lips spies this one first, showed Joey and he went in for the kill, Joey was focussed too focussed! Abort Abort Abort people walking right past GZ from different directions and young blonde female worker now giving Joey big smiles (the oh isn't he cute type). Re-group he still wants to make the kill, I want to give some pointers but he has his own ideas. Clean grab accomplished!
Back to car to sign, none of the geo tools are not the right size, tweezers work well.
Time for drop off by Mama-lips, Joey notices young blonde worker is watching him again, he hangs around in a different spot as a decoy and I complete the walk by drop off.
Thanks for a fun cache, a favourite point from us.

The place: Muggle central Norwood
The time: 12:25, A.K.A the Lunch rush
Initially the prize eludes my eagle eyes ... mostly because I am needing glasses soon.
To stop looking odd, well odder then usual, I wander into the supermarket for a few odds and ends, and as I'm leaving the area I spot a likely cache, yep it was it, chillibutts, you are an evil, evil person. I love it.
I bide my time, collect, go to a more secluded spot, sign, sharpen the pencil a little, nab a Lilysu&Boxer pathtag. Put it back together and reposition the cache.

Had a person who previously attempted this and was fairly sure he know where it was but last time he was here it was just way to busy. Today we had the place to ourselves so he swooped in and grabbed it then we used our bag of tricks to get it out.
Nice Hide.

A quick find and sign on our way too a couple of caching events.Thanks for the hide.Have been here before but did not use my caching brain until i got home,then i figured out where i reckoned it was.That made it an easy find today.A great hide ,thanks.
Miss Lips is on fire today, been here before and had a head scratch - she rocks up and spots it straight away - & lol, I'm a builder and should have seen this a mile away!!!
Anyway quick grab at 2:00pm on Sunday with a healthy collection of muggles - went to the nearby bike shop to grab a screwdriver to access the cache.
Guess what - Phillips head has been rounded - bike guy applogiesed profusely for not being able to help - so its a claim but I'll return one day to change the screws over unless the next cacher does!
This makes it #66, TFTC chillibutts!

What a great time to do this type of cache... And to have someone with you that actually knew where the cache was even though they hadn't done it before... Cache retrieved, opened, signed, closed and returned within a matter of minutes and no muggles... The way I like urban caching..
Thanks chillibutts for the cache.. A fave from me

Will have to come back with a longer thinner screwdriver. Will do it in daytime, we are up for the challenge.
Found and retrieved but screwdriver wasn't thin enough, 9.03pm. Will be brave and do the grab during daylight hours!!!
TFTC chillibutts. Deserves a fave point. Will have to go and extract log another time as my screwdriver just wasn't doing it today. Probably wouldn't reccomend on a Saturday during school holidays as there are people everywhere!!!!!!!!! With that said, I still managed to find this magnet...
Had fun unscrewing it (not). Found this cache at about one thirty pm today. Tftc
Found during lunch hour in school holidays. Found out we didn't have a screwdriver so quick trip to Waite's to buy one. TFTC
Awesome cache, enjoyed the thrill of being invisible at 12:38 pm, during the lunch rush.
Actually a hi-vis vest would probably be most discrete!
Picked up trackable.

Wasn't sure if I was going to be game to have a go at this having read the description and logs. Nearly forgot my pocket knife with phillips head as I left my car but did a quickly doubled back to grab it. Walked a loop around GZ before finally spotting the likely candidate and felt to see if it detached to confirm it which it did. Figured I was now committed so followed through and sat on the seat right nearby to extract and sign the cache. People really don't pay attention to what's going on about them! Replaced and I was off!
Thanks for the great psychological challenge!

Great cache... Deception used to obtain it... Loved the stealth.. Loved the location. TFTC worth the favourite point. Ps no screwdrivers available from Coles... Mmm wonder why they have sold out.
Found months ago but Diddnt have the correct tool. Gotcha this time! Left a TB an a fav just because the girl I've been dating said I can be her boyfriend moments earlier
Actually found a long time ago but no tool and way to many muggles everytime I go past. 7.30 tonight. Had tool. Still many muggles around but mostly oblivious to me
Tftc a great one! and a nice meal nearby..

Having been virtuous and not collected the cache on a public holiday, Owl went back at lunchtime a few days later. Faced with smoking, coffee-drinking, holiday planning muggles, including one watching her intently, Owl’s nerves of steel turned to jelly and she scarpered. Ashamed of her craven behaviour, today Owl armed herself with Dutch courage in the form of Hawk and a newly-repaired bike wheel and made the grab. The cache was crooked, so it was easy to confirm her suspicions. (In the spirit of the cache, she hadn’t investigated it earlier.) Back at the car, she completed the find, then wandered off to put it neatly back in place (without the bike wheel this time). A couple of photos of a reluctant Hawk covered her tracks and recorded the event – not the brave adventure she’d planned, but at 9.45am not completely cowardly either! Built the cache up too much? The favourite point disagrees!
Wow!!! Definitely muggle-central at 2.30pm on a Saturday. Spied the cache straightaway but grabbing it was another matter! Decided the best strategy was for Geodad to block the major line of sight of passers-by with his body while Lukey5 snuck in behind to grab the cache. Worked well. Returned via the same method but after waiting 15 mins for the old geezer on the park-bench to finish his afternoon tea. Very exciting stuff. TFTC Chillibutts!
Owl was meeting a friend at a coffee shop down the road and wandered down to find the nearest cache. Yep, still there, but collecting it in a completely deserted mall seemed rather like cheating and she's left it for some other time. Pity the next Christmas pageant is too far away now!

I've walked past this cache a number of times since arriving in Norwood Saturday afternoon, but never when terribly busy, so when passing the breakfast session this morning I decided I'd better have a go before I ended up missing it all together. I grabbed it and wandered off to log it, on my return just after I'd replaced the cache I was accosted by a lady from the travel agency who, had been watching it for some time, quizzed me about what I was doing with it and what it was. She informed me that they had been considering disposing of it. I did my best to alate here fears and convince her that there was nothing sinister going own. I hope it worked.
Thanks

Brilliant hide!! Didn't know whether to pull it off. Sneaky!! The Bananabros duo strikes again!!! Tftc
Couldn't sign log because didn't bring screwdriver and too many muggles around during midday. I'll come back with screwdriver at a better time.
Had scoped this in situ some months ago after a drs appointment in the area but don't go to the doctors with the required tools. Then it went missing. Was going to the cinema today and popped in. Completely the wrong time to do it, New Years Day. Mall deserted. But grabbed it anyway as we had a packet of tools of various sizes with us. If busy you could do a quick dash and grab. Left a smiley badge. Thanx
What the security camera vision will show if it is ever reviewed
8:15am CDT
A lone cyclist appeared wobbling through the carpark.
After checking his phone he dismounted and left his bike against the wall, outside the travel agents.
He wandered slowly past the seats and into the mall area proper.
8:16am CDT
The suspect hurriedly walked back to his bike and moved to a nearby position out of view of the cameras.
8:32am CDT
The suspect reappears, walking slowly past the seats outside the travel agents.
He is now wearing a silly grin.
The suspect stops outside the travel agency and seems surprised to find it is now open.
He does not go inside.
He continues wandering for a minute and seems to almost trip.
Regaining his balance he exits the mall area rapidly.
Pretty boring hey !!
But I wasn't the least bit bored trying to score the smiley on this devilish little cache [^]
It did take a while to get the cache open though.
No one thought to bring the required tools with him, did he

A lone cyclist appeared wobbling through the carpark.
After checking his phone he dismounted and left his bike against the wall, outside the travel agents.
He wandered slowly past the seats and into the mall area proper.
8:16am CDT
The suspect hurriedly walked back to his bike and moved to a nearby position out of view of the cameras.
8:32am CDT
The suspect reappears, walking slowly past the seats outside the travel agents.
He is now wearing a silly grin.
The suspect stops outside the travel agency and seems surprised to find it is now open.
He does not go inside.
He continues wandering for a minute and seems to almost trip.
Regaining his balance he exits the mall area rapidly.
Pretty boring hey !!
But I wasn't the least bit bored trying to score the smiley on this devilish little cache [^]
It did take a while to get the cache open though.
No one thought to bring the required tools with him, did he
TFTC.
Quick find. 1:10pm on Christmas Eve. Place was packed. Used my three year old son as a decoy. Had a great lunch at the café. Picked up the TB. Tftc.
Was glad to notice this was back a little while ago whilst shopping, but couldn't log until now because I kept forgetting to take along tools to the supermarket.. Traut and Wombat found this before it went missing when passing by with Bek-theraccoon. Thought we should come back when more muggles were around. Traut went in today and picked it up with geo-dad in tow. He wanted to know what these cache things look like.. He even unscrewed it since Traut has weak fins.. As I was going to replace it a group of muggles stopped right in front of gz.. perfect! Traut and Geo-dad managed to squeeze behind them and stealthily replace. Geo-dad was impressed and went off to do his shopping. First cache I've found without other cachers, although technically not since we came as a group initially! Glad to have picked this one up! Alex-thesquirrel has also found since the cache has been replaced, but he appears not to have logged. Will remind him . TFTC!
A sneaky hide with a sneaky find at 0829 on a Saturday morning. Being on bikes helped with our stealthing. TFTC
Thanks for the tip off. Its gone. Wonder if the council did their annual inspection and removed. Think it went missing same time last year!
Happened to be in the area today and noticed that it's not there. Either someone is doing it right now or it's been muggled.
Yah, finally ! Found this one about three weeks ago on a busy Saturday morning, but couldnt open it as no tools. Came back today and took it for a little walk to find one...Coles helped us out a bit but not exactly the right size. So off to lunch with the cache and sat only a few metres away enjoying a lovely latte ! Finally with the help of various objects managed access the log and sign. Brown Booby and I enjoyed having this special luncheon friend for the day. Replaced stealthily !! Located 1230 pm, replaced an hour later ..
Found while caching with The Easter Bunnys. A day out seeking chillibutts caches between the showers of rain. When I first saw this on the map and realised where GZ was I thought it would be impossible. However The Easter Bunnys had been there before so locating it was not so bad after all. However opening it was a different matter. Managed eventurally to 'turn thr screw' so to speak and get the log signed. Lunch close by, while watching a small child check out the very spot the cache would have been, if it had not been on our lunch table! 12.30 to 1.30pm on a busy Wednesday. Great coffee! TFTC
We attempted this cache several months ago. I had no trouble spotting the it, as you'd expect of someone of my occupation. Unfortunately, this was on a Saturday night. Being no challenge at all, we left it for another day.
Well that day came today, on a Sunday afternoon (2:15pm) as we were participating in the Urban Treasure Ramble, and this cache met the search criteria. When you're in a race, the courage comes to make some brazen finds. I snatched the cache as we walked past without turning the heads of those sipping their coffee nearby. Then we sat down on a nearby bench to open it while the staff at the nearby shop didn't suspect a thing. Okay, maybe they've seen this happen several times before. I signed the log and replaced the cache as smoothly as I grabbed it.
Unfotunately, I didn't realiase this was a premium cache, so it didn't contain the coveted stamp, but at least we got another smiley

We took up the challenge at 12 Midday on a Saturday. It doesn't get much buisier than that. We worked as a pair - one to distract as the other snuck the cache. a good fun cache challenge. TFTC chillibutts.
Out for a caching run and we decided that it was time for coffee, so time to visit Alberto's, and while there grab a cache.
The retrieval went off ok and time to head off to enjoy the coffee and deal with access and signing the log.
Replacing was a case of wait till the area was clear then a quick walk by.
Cache grab 1015am
Cache replaced 1035am
Thanks for the cache chillibuts

Out with Black Bunny when he said he felt like a coffee and cache, so we headed off to Alberto's.
A quick grab at GZ at 1015am and time for a cup of tea while we dealt with the cache signing details. With the cache log signed and tea and coffee drunk, the hard part - cache replacement.
We waited for some muggles to clear GZ then a quick walk by to replace the cache, challange completed.

Brucie had the opportunity to go our with Moneydork this evening and managed to find this cache not too far from where the caravan is currently parked. It proved to be a mild evening and relatively quiet on the roads, perfect to get caches closer to the city.
Thanks to chillibutts.
Thanks to chillibutts.
I couldn't have done this without Liz and Bruce!
We visited together - but didn't have the required tool.
Bruce took the cache into a nearby shop and talked the staff into opening it for him!!!
Wow - I'm not that game! Ife clearly go a lot to learn!

1:30 pm thursday. people everywhere as required. found it , pulled my hood over my head took out the leatherman [multi tool] and routinley went about the task, retreived it walk a couple off meters down the mall signed the log walked back to GZ , waved to the 3 ladies watching me from the nearby business. finished what I came to do and moved on. your right it did take some nerve ! Great cache, great challenge and a favourite point for such a fun cache. Thanks chillibuts.
11:30am pick up on a Saturday. Every table full. Must be up there for a rating. In my favour was 2yr old and stroller. Against was lack of tools. Car keys didn't walk. Took cache for a walk. Cycle shop keeper kept a straight face while I signed log. Returned 20 min later. Was still there 1230 when I went past again.
GK1 has fencing classes near this GZ on Saturday mornings, so I thought I'd give this one a go.
10:15 on Saturday morning, this place is a hive of activity. Yikes!
Spotting the cache was not too hard, especially given some of the log comments. Retrieving it was a little tricky. With no bag, bike, or other prop to act as a distraction or excuse, I had to resort to a casual snatch and walk away quietly.
Returning it was another story...
I planning to do the reverse of the snatch and walk retrieval method I used. But then there appeared a bunch of muscle-muggles. You know the type; you probably need to double their IQ to get close to their weight. It seemed that they had decided that they had drunk enough coffee and needed to go somewhere they could light up their ciggies. I don't know... How about right next to GZ???!!! AAaarrgghh. Not to mention Cough Cough Haack Haack.
What do I do...??? "Excuse me chaps. Could I just squeeze in here and attach this suspicious looking thing about there and then walk away again?" Not likely. Ahh well. It's just as well there are plenty of places to sit. Good thing I brought a book.
Waiting...
Waiting...
Finally they move on.
To reposition? In the end I almost threw it into position and kept walking without looking back. Another walk-by in a couple of minutes to make sure it is straight enough to not draw attention to itself and I can finally move on...
Thanks for this fun cache.

4pm on a sunday,Had the mobettes on lookout,go,a quick grab then back to the car for the opening and logging.Ditto on return.TFTC
Did some recon on this one a while ago at night. Finally made the time to swing by in the daytime to do the challenge properly. Signed the log at 4:15 on a Friday. TFTC
There were people walking by but after sussing out where it would be I waited until nobody was watching and quickly grabbed the cache and walked a few metres away
Walked back to the car and signed the log book
A very nice cache indeed
Thanks chillibutts

Now that was a lot of fun! it was 4.30pm hmmm... chicken proof a bit because it was Sunday, but we had to check on the details of some geocaches nominated in the Sa Geocachers awards, this being in one for over all for 2010. Very neat hide, needed to duck back to the car for the extraction tool.
Excellent location... no Coffee for us today.
cheers
Gayle minus Mark off working

I knocked of work in time to try this one.
Back pack in hand for cover of hide. Turn back on Muggle to obscure the view, quick grab. Ok got it. Don’t look back; it will only give me away. Find a quite place to do the log. Talk about packed in. It might be time for a bit of a cull of the swaps.
Now to get it back. A sly look left and right. Travel agent is talking with some one, (I wonder if she is in on it. It is in plain view of her desk.) A quick replace and off. Walk away about 20 m and double back on the other side to make sure it looks ok. It looks fine from here. Now I need some thing a little stronger than coffee.
