Big day out planned with the JAMMS crew (JJ52, Allisterw, Mogni and SirSpectre). Left home at 7.20am and arrived back home at 7.20pm. It was a fun day out, with lots of caches found, a few dnf, a few caches replaced. We attempted to use our TOTTs but were thwarted on more than one occasion for one reason or another.
All up 20 caches found for M&h including some that would never have been found without a team effort. Thanks to all the CO for putting out fun hides and maintaining for our enjoyment, greatly appreciated.
So many places this could be but despite 5 sets of eyes looking we came up empty handed. TFTH

Needing a few finds for the day I headed out after uni in search of a few finds. For some reason I have never made my way to this area. An enjoyable afternoon were all caches were found in good condition.

Came past on a very wet day with SupaTurtle and Csaba!. Great to see water in the concrete creek nearby. Tra la Laaa
Always like a code I can work out. Very wet today and still a cache was found. Covered with natural camo as was very obvious as GZ. Thanks
Managed to solve this one quite some time ago. Have had two failed visits to GZ. The first one was halted by a local who decided to stand and talk on a nearby structure. The second was just a plain old DNF - must have had a boy-look. This time, after reading a few of the logs, I had a better idea of what to look for, and after a bit of a removal of natural camo, I'd found the bugger. A couple of locals were none the wiser as I signed and replaced the log. Nemesis defeated!
Thanks MR and MRS FLUFFY!
Thanks MR and MRS FLUFFY!
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Had opened this one up many times since starting caching and knew what was required to find the rocket keys but just could not find the means. A few weeks ago I opened it up again and some previous resources proved useful and the coordinates to the keys to the rocket were revealed. Geochecker confirmed and into the TBF queue till the right moment.
Today I was in the area and had a few minutes to spare so decided to swing by and make the find. Parked in the nearby side street and wandered to GZ, looked around, scratched the head a bit, looked again and spotted the hide. Extracted the log, signed and replaced. Keys found and rocket ready for launch. Blast off Billy Blaze.

A perfect Spring day for a drive around north Adelaide.
A lot more muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.

Finally unlocked this one. Was afraid I'd have to do some extensive gardening, but a little look around uncovered the secret.
At last a puzzle that the Snake could work out. After something suddenly jumped out in the characters of the puzzle the rest was filling in the blanks. TFTC and an easier puzzle for the Adders.
This one has been in the solved but not found pile for way too long. This evening we were driving past and I remembered that this one was around here somewhere - and recall being muggles away a previous visit. Today there were no muggles around and those driving up the road didn't seem to care what those people behind the bushes were doing. A nice easy find. TFTC. 25/11/16, 5:49 pm Find #3386.

Need to find a cache today. Searched the area around office, and found this mystery cache. 2.0 difficulty indicates it is not too difficult, so I had a try.
It turned out the puzzle is relevantly easy to solve. Interesting puzzle.
Double checked using Geo Checker. All good.
The GZ is quite close to office, so I went there after work.
Worried about the parking, so I approached from North, It did not took me too long to find the cache.
Took nothing, left nothing. Signed the log, and placed it back.

Bonza! Solved the puzzle many months ago. Was in the area celebrating mothers day and took my 2 nieces and a nephew for a hunt. After looking at the previous log we thought it was going to be a DNF, but it was a surprisingly quick find. The cache is there and in good nick. Thanks for the puzzle and TFTC!
Solved the puzzle a while ago now, and tonight we tried to find the cache. Our GZ had us in a bush... but it the cache is not in a bush... we searched and scratched around.... trying not to look to strange to the passing muggles! No luck for us tonight :c( but we will be back another time to try our luck.
Day 3 in Adelaide and I went for a late afternoon walk and cache grab. This was the first of three. One of the neighbours saw me and asked whether I had found it yet. I hadn't but a few moments later I had it in hand. TNLN. TFTC.
This took me a whole lot longer to find than it should have. Eventually put the GPSr down and thought like a cache and there it was. TFTC
I must have lived a sheltered youth as I never heard of this little guy but it was fun to solve the code. Quick find at GZ with the geokids. Thanks for the cache.

I knew I was going to be up this way today, so I had a look at the puzzle and solved it easily.
Now at GZ, I was flummoxed for a while then read a log or two. Back up to GZ to search again and like those before me, spotted something slightly out of place and then uncovered the cache.
Not rocket science but definitely rocket caching! TFTC, MR and MRS FLUFFY

I have had the location of the Rocket Keys in me GPS for over a year !!
I have visited the location three or four times, and never found the keys
Today I happened to be riding past again and as always had to stop for a quick look around.
You never know !!
By now I had an idea of how this cache might be hidden.
But a full can of fizzy cola did not help me discover this elusive little beastie
I was about to leave when I noticed something in the scenery.
Hmmm ??
Bit suspicious !!
So I kicked it ...
.... a cache appeared [:o]
Ha, ha, ha, ha !!!
I took off !!

Thanks for the cache Mr and Mrs Fluffy, you taught me lots about codes I never knew thanks for that !!!!! If there is meant to be a lid on this cache there wasn't one, but the cache and contents are still safe and sound TFTC
Was out caching with a group tonight when this came up on our radar.
Found and signed.
Took trackables to visit.

Try number 2, and success this time. As is often the catch cry of the cacher - I'm sure I looked there last time.
The cache was not very camoed, a little, but not much so I cameoed a little better once I put it back.

A puzzle cache I could actually solve thanx to google. did this on the way home from work as darkness falling. First visit wasn't successful at the weekend, although google earth was pretty good for this, but the hint led me astray. Hint from Dr Owl had it quickly in hand tonight. Gap in the calendar now filled. Thanx
Out caching with brisal5 when Dr Owl rang and asked where were we? Could we help with this cache as it was annoying her.... brisal5 had previously found it and was convinced he had found it with Mr Aussie M. In fact apparently Mr M made the find, Mrs M was not convinced, checked the log book and found we hadn't made this find with brisal5 but mogni had. Another M, we do look alike but really. I signed the log and was happy to see that the puzzle is a type I can solve. Thanks for the cache MR and MRS FLUFFY.
Brisal5 and Mrs Aussie M were in the area, so Owl begged for help to find the rocket. It is a well-known cacher fact that as soon as you ask for help, the cache becomes at least a star easier to find. They led her well away from where her GPS was pointing, to the opposite of the clue and Owl saw it immediately. Then it was off to help with one of their nemesis caches.
after Dr Owl asked for help from some other Cachers, Sister Raven tagged along and stood there while Dr Owl found it.
Your cache was found as part of Sister Raven’s Australian Scout Geocaching Competition entry.

What a disappointment! Hawk instantly recognised the puzzle and gave Owl the means to solve it, but Billy Blaze has hidden the megarocket a little too well and left only confusing clues to its whereabouts.
Have I ever said that I do not like puzzle caches? I just do not understand what they mean.
Hang on a minute. I might be able to work that out.
And I did and arrived at GZ and looked and looked and left downhearted.
As we were visiting muggle sister near by I waited to half time in the footy( yes my team lost) and then ventured back after reading some of the earlier post's.
Found and signed.
That made two for the day. Maybe they are not that hard after all. As if!!

As part of our preparation for our visit to South Australia, we attempted a number of puzzles. This was one of them. After a little research, we were able to decode the message and get a plausible set of coordinates. Today we went looking for the cache. The hint helped to restrict the search area but even then, it took a few minutes to locate the cache. It was a very good hide which blended exceptionally well into the environment. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC Mr and Mrs Fluffy.
Thanks for the puzzle, enjoyed working it out without Googles help. Thanks for the cache, nice.
Geodad had fun doing this puzzle with Lukey5. A quick drive-by and the cache was in hand. Grabbed the TB. TFTC!
Solved the puzzle easy enough (with the aid of google) - had some issues at GZ. I have to learn to trust the GPS. Once I took those extra two steps I found what I was looking for. TFTC..
Honeysucker very kindly offered to chauffeur Alansee us around the suburbs today to save us some time in getting lost and also grab a few caches he had not yet got to.
We saw this one come up and thought we know how to do this and had a set of co ordinates a few minutes latter, this is what we would like to be writing but the truth is we made it a lot harder than it needed to be and felt quite silly when Alansee showed us how to solve it. At least we got to see a nice area we have not visited before and also found a cache right where the GPSr was pointing.
Again our thanks MR and MRS FLUFFY

Decoded this puzzle ages ago and the final was waving at me when I exited the tunnel of Beyond Ultraviolet with Moneydork, The Drovers and Liz & Bruce. Rescued some travel bugs from Beyond Ultraviolet and placed them here so they could move on (they will have moved on already since this is a late log). Thanks Fluffys!
Out with The Siver Snitch.This one took a bit to find as my calculations were of a bit but found in the end, still it was challenging late in the evening,TTB,tftc
A great day out with 'Liz and Bruce' and 'Moneydork' doing some caches in nearby suburbs of Adelaide..
We found a number of caches, this being one of them.
Many thanks for the hide, MR and MRS FLUFFY

Out with Mogni doing some puzzle caches and anything in between. Arrived at GZ and whilst mogni sent me off to play with the trolls she went and found the cache. That's one happy key. Thanks Mr and Mrs Fluffy.
Solved this one while sitting in class.... teaching...
Out with brisal5 grabbing a few caches, focusing on puzzles. Not many puzzles I attempt but got this fairly quickly.
Thankyou

I love this old pc game. I so wanted to put on my football helmet power up the bean and bacon mega rocket and do battle with the vorticans or just find the cache. TFTC mr and mrs fluffy
Solved the puzzle (well Alex-thesquirrel did) and went out to pick up the two unloved trackables and move them on their way. TFTC
Gotcha!
Browsed at this one ages ago while sitting in a restaurant waiting for food to arrive. Realised it would be pretty straight forward to solve, but then completely forgot about it!
Came back to it recently and, as suspected, it was one of the easier puzzles to solve.
Visit to GZ was a quick one on the way to nearby shearing shed... I mean.. Hairdresser..
Thanks
What a sad caching afternoon - evening for me!
Out of 7 caches I looked at, I only found 2 and this was the first of those 2
I know I started the day tired and not thinking clearly, as was cheerfully exclaimed upon by another cacher but this was my worst day caching so far.
Many thanks to a fellow geocacher for sharing this cache's location, although he didn't know until it was too late. Thankfully the coords stayed on my hand until the camera took the picture
A lovely spot for a bit fo night caching: frogs croaking and water gently flowing.
If only I had known about the keys... we have heaps at home that have no useful identity anymore

I have looked at this image many times before, but for some reason last night the solution just clicked in my head. A quick translation and today the journey to the cache resulted in a quick find! TFTC Fluffy's!
I have looked at this puzzle in the past but had no idea how to tackle it. Of late I have have been looking at some puzzle again and it seams the more puzzles you do the more you learn and the more you can solve.
The wet weather kept GZ clear. So it did not take long to find.
I left a calling card and die. Took a star.

Got the code worked out easy enough and checked it. Had trouble finding the cache, mustn't have our geo-brains working. Great hide. Tftc.
Had to do this puzzle "the hard way", going to basics. An easy find at GZ. Thanks MR and MRS FLUFFY.
I remember a while ago I wanted to start turning the icons nearest to home into smileys. Took one look at this code and thought "Well, I guess it's not that important after all".
Had a second look at it tonight and it turned out not to be too hard, thanks to google. Once I had the coords i thought "Well it's not too far from home" and off I went.
Once at the cache site I found myself crawling all over the place trying to find it in the dark without being spotted by muggles not quite straight across the road. One of those situations when someone's about to go home and they have the longest conversation of the night at the car door!
After falling in a bush and trying to crawl under another one, the GPS changed it's mind and I'd probably been there anout 15 mins before it actually led me to GZ, which really wasn't a difficult find.
Took TB's x2. TFTC

For a guy with a 314 IQ, poor Billy isn't smart enough to remember we left the keys to the rocket. Billy was able to help me with some info to decipher the code and eventually we (well, Marmela really) found a cache. Unfortunately, Billy's keys were not in the cache, it would appear that someone has taken his rocket for joyride. TFTC Fluffies.
Found with a group of fellow cachers, while doing some of the Tunnel caches.

A nice quick find with the Wibbles while placing Squeaky's heart in the cache
At 2:25pm a quick check of the cache reveals no key to squeaky's heart. (What are they up to now?)

Found BFE Style without the GPS.
After purchasing some bargains nearby at the Campbelltown Rotary Club monthly sale. Held at Benjamin St. Newton last Saturday each month 8am to 1pm.

Found on a late night run while in the area after Mrs. Scoobsters Birthday Dinner at a nearby restaurant. Torch died on me while I was traversing the fence then realised I didn't need to be where I was. ran back to the car, grabbed phone and used the light on that while searching for too long til I read the clue. Ahhh... there she be!
Something was glowing in the bottom when I was finished. TFTC

I had printed out the notes and a decoder (so much for paperless geocaching) and gave this to the kids when I picked them up from school. They loved the challenge of decrypting and then the search on the weekend was the highlight of the weekend as they got to throw things in water and look in drains and all sorts of cool stuff.
Eventually (5-6 minutes) I read the hint, and found it in the next place I looked.
Thanks Fluffies, we had a great time. Visited a TB previously held by Mr and Mrs F, and picked up the Jeep TB

This is just the sort of puzzle cache i love.
Had the co-ords worked out in no time and at GZ the cache was a nice quick find.
Couldn't leave the keys to the super subie maxirocket as I have a very important intergalactic mission in the very near future.
Cheers and happy caching.
