#9 GPS was twitchy but found it eventually. Cache needs to go on a long warm holiday for a rest ... It was very soggy!

Couldn't find
Maybe got washed away by the recent rain?
 
17-Mar-14
St Patrick's day is meant to be a green day but today I chose blue instead.

The GPS would not settle down here where the view of the sky is so limited. It jumped around by 20m or so. In the end I found I had to go to another level to find GZ but it was worth it. Wink

Unfortunately the contents of the container are sodden and may need CO attention.

GPS signal was non existent but persistence paid off. Thanks

Found it...had to wait quite a bit for all the muggles to finish smogging almost on GZ. Found and replaced without detection, was a bit tricky trying to fit everything back into container but eventually got there.

Nice cache Big Grin

We couldn't work out which level we needed to be so searched them all. Found the cache in the last possible place. Lucky there wasn't any close action in the fantastically high roofed parking nearby. TFTC The Burners Family.

Great hide! Found it on my first look, only because my gps was surprisingly accurate. Saw where it was and almost didn't bother to check there. Got in and found it without being seen but unfortunately a muggle decided to walk along the path up the top just as I was about to leave. He didn't see anything, just seemed to be wondering why I was there haha. Great cache, thanks!
 
03-Feb-14
Loved this one! Quite tricky, however my gps led me there easily which was a surprise. Almost overlooked the cache however- nicely disguised. Almost in and out completely unnoticed, however a stray muggle spotted me as I was finishing up. Thanks for a great hide!
 
19-Jan-14
Went down at night to avoid prying eyes. Found without too much trouble. Just glad it wasn't where I thought it would be Wink
 
Much easier than i thought it was going to be. Although I walked right past it to start off with and made it take a few minutes longer :-\ our GPS was a little off. Good find.
 
12-Jan-14
searched for only a little while, too many people driving past plus the trolley man...will come back another time

One of the last ones for tonight. We were laughing at all the possibilities relating to the cache title, but it also meant that there was a LOT of places to look! Finally found it. dry and intact

2200 GAFF2 While night caching with MVMB on our way out of Maitland we stopped off for a shortish search. Loved the name of the cache, as it had me looking in quite a few 'related' areas! Wink
Dry and intact (but obviously missed out on catching up with the TB). Another for the Night Caching elective book mark. And I think that gets me to my 'target' of 50 caches in the month.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aussie Nomad coin, Aust Light Houses, BEAGLE BIXBY, B 2 B ingot, BROWN BEAR 15 TB, Fishing Bell TB, Homer J TB, Iconic Bridges, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, PAP, RAINBOW BEARS 8 TB, Trakabulldog geocoins and trackable shirt.

We walked on the wrong side of the fence, so after about five minutes looking, we went on the other side of the fence and there it was. We only had 2 satellites on our GPS so our coordinates were rubbish.

this one has been on my list for some time, and finaly crossed it off. The GPS gods must have been smiling upon me today and this weekend no DNFs from the 5 i searched for, a parking space with in spitting distance of GZ and met a whole heap of other cachers in the process.
Whilst GZ was busy with muggles, i found a lul in which to start the search, the cache was quickly spotted as it camoflage had been moved an even quicker return to the Geo Wagon and the prize was inspected and log signed.

Third find of the day with the little Rats and friends. A blistering hot Christmas eve, but they still had fun on the hunt.

This one was a bit of fun due to the slightly stealthy requirement, and was found by a new cacher along for her first hunt, Ninjasnake.

TNLNSL.

Thanks for the cache.

Still working out what to look for with this game but finally found it this evening. No pencil so couldn't sign the log though. All Good Smile
 
19-Nov-12
My lucky day, walked straight up to this one and signed log with no muggles around.
It was only about 0700hrs tho.

16-Nov-12
Though a light rain was falling for a lot of the day we still had a good day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find.
Thanks to The Burners Family.

In Maitland for a birthday party so thought we could find some caches too.
We have visited some wonderfull parks, cemetries, old buildings & seen some great caches as well.
Geo hubby took the high road & I took the low road ( sounds a bit like a song) & soon we had it in hand,it was a little evasive to start with.
Thanks The Burners Family
 
04-Nov-12
Can't believe that others found it just yesterday and we looked and looked and still might need a guide dog yet! Will try again when we get a chance. I'm sure it's there somewhere!!

A really clever hide - This one took quite a bit of searching, but was eventually discovered ... TFTC Smile

1049. Found with Relish64 on our way up to Maitland from Canberra for a wedding. We had to kill some time, so thought we would check this one out. After a bit of a search we checked the recent logs and our hopes faded a little, but after broadening our search, the hide was discovered.
Thanks The Burners Family for the cache.

Cool hiding spot. Watch out for spiders

Our last one for the day with light fading. Spent quite a bit of time here. There was a bit of a hint in one of the previous logs but it got too dark to to follow up. Maybe another day.
 
19-May-12
Had to literally keep a low profile to avoid being spotted by the person collecting shopping trolleys in the garage.
 
01-May-12
finally found this one after second try, cache is a bit off from the coordinates
 
08-Apr-12
Third time lucy. The first was after work one night and was too dark, second before work the next day.... too many muggles. Today was a public holiday and didn't take long at all. A few mozzies around though. TFTC SL Left a little something too Smile
 
All good when I found right wall.
Watch out for the lizards there every where!
Cheers for the cache.

A day of caching with Dalsmit and TheHeadChef.
Gps initially took us to the wrong side, and then when in the correct area, GPS signal went crazy. Had to revert to clue, and then cache was in hand.

A great cache so close to a busy shopping area. We were off in a totally wrong direction. We had both our phones working on this one. We realised that we were in the wrong area. It was then we met a fellow cacher on the same mission. While lillaMum and Coomby exchanged thoughts,Coomby passed on vital information and my littlest man and me were able to come up with the booty.
