Logs
As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
I admit I was taking things a little easy with my gammy leg but no way could I find the cache. So seeing as La Kedi had found it before, I go her to have a look. No joy with her either. Oh well, there's always another day.
I attempted this one at 0500 this morning but it was just too dark to hunt and even with my torch I would have missed it where it was located...
Back this afternoon though and things were a whole lot easier. After waiting out a muggle walking his dog I swooped on GZ and found the cache in a minute or so... Now the previous logs make sense... [^]
Cheers tomctomc

Now I get the name , I think I was a bit slow on this one.
Anyway even though there were some muggles about, they generally ignore people doing silly things under bridges.
Cache was found OK.
Thanks

Grabbed while out for a few quick finds. Plenty of muggles but none interested in what we were up to. TFTC
A fun place to hide a cache
"REDNU" you say ?
That's where the problems started.
How do you get rednu and not get wet ?
Having not gotten wet, how do you reach the cache ?
The previous finder's cache log was not helping
So I scrambled around while hanging on for dear life while trying to see into places the human body was never designed to !!
It was while sitting at one point on the edge, I noticed the security camera pointed directly at me (Smile)
The nearby stream of muggles delivering kids to skool didn't seem to notice my antics even if the camera did
Perseverance paid and I managed to spot the cache and retrieve it while hanging on to the bridge by a fingernail
It was while I was struggling to escape GZ I finally discovered the 'mobile fence' [:o]

Nice quick find although watch the fence as it is mobile and that drain is slippery!! Thanks tomctomc. Please let me know if our log gives away too much and I will edit it.
I can finally cross this one off. My big mistake the previous attempts on this one was doing it at night. I was prepared to go into the drain if I had to find the blessed thing this time. Thankfully Loki found it before I got my footsies wet. The cache was in good condition. Very happy to finally get this one. TFTC tomtomc
Of course I had a number of choices of where to check and it was in the fourth one! Twas a bit of a struggle to get back up again after grabbing this one. Glad I didn't end up in the drink.
Hrm, no need to get wet, but a very real possibility for those of us without a reasonable sense of balance and some agility or coordination! Spotted from the opposite side while crawling around searching, and retrieved from the correct side after deciding a tumble was all too likely from the position I'd been in when I saw it. I didn't really need the clue, which was good, as it was the same as the cache description anyway :p TFTC. =^.^=
Found at 1033. Managed to spot the cache now was how to retreive it went to the other side and somehow was able to reach the cache with more ease then expected. Being mid morning on a week day all was quiet in the area. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.
Luckily our gps directed us to the right side of this one making it a quick find although Jason exerted himself way more than what was required. TFTC tomctomc
There is always a right side and a wrong side as well as both sides. As others before me I looked at all four sides before spying the cache. As a bonus I found an cycle path northward to provide different options for geocycling through this area.
Would agree that agility is required. I ended up quite wet and muddy....not really necessary if you
approach it the right way.
Cache found dry and in good condition. Didn't find the clue helpful for the info is in the description.

Actually was a bit of a challenge. The rain was pouring down when we retrieved this one, and we had to dash back to the car to sign the log.
Replaced it just as the lightning and thunder was beginning.
As previous finders have remarked, agility is definitely more required then first realising.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 9:25am. Had to do the monkey trick to reach this cache but there it was. TFTC
I'm with 'BillnCyndi' on this one. Agility is a good thing, but ...
Found in the fourth place I looked [B)]. TN/LN/SL

at about 10:30. The agility required was almost too much for us of advanced years.
Thanks Tomctomc. The cache is fine.
