Groceries (Check) Geocache (Check Forest Hill, Victoria, Australia
By MrMic on 19-Feb-11. Waypoint GC2P0KA

Yes I think I'll archive this. I've been very slack on the caching of late and while I loved the tree this was hidden in the hide was probably never going to last a long time. Sorry all that were hoping I'd get it back up and for all those that logged a DNF.

As the owner hasn't reponded to the DNF's and Maintenance maybe its time to be archived

In the area so I wanted to try to find this one. No luck

No luck.

I think this ones missing. MrMic you should check it out.

Groceries check Geocache ............negative!
Oops it's very well concealed or missing

Ducked out to look for this after dropping one kid off for a laser tag party. Poked in all the nooks but was unable to come up with this one. Why am I so bad at finding micros? I will be back.

Glad I was with Rebel acts as he is nice and tall, we ventured into the shops after this cache.

No trouble on this one as i am nice and tall, we ducked inot JB HIFI while we were here. Thanks To MrMic for the cache.

Good hide in a very busy spot

Found by D and R and brother B who busted his geo cherie with this one.

Very nice hide Tftc!

The Geokids found it before I did.
Too small to leave a token, so just signed the log.

found with tilla83 found on the ground replaced as per hint hopefully it stays this time #275 @1:51 PM tftc

Found with geozilla oz 24/5/11 was on ground put back tftc

In the failing light, I couldn't manage to find this, so I went back to the car to fetch the torch only to find the batteries we completely flat. Anwyay, I persisted by the rather dim light from my phone display, and got luck eventually.

Thanks MrMic - A clever bit of camo.

Took tilla83 to get this one & it appears to have been muggled.

Checked it tonight. Camo is a bit worse for wear so I'll need to do some maintenance on it but it is definitely still there.

Found 16:05, in the comapny of Muzza, a nice hide.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks MrMic.

Nicely hidden cache. Found by Biggles Bear #1 while we were out for an afternoon's caching. Thanks for the cache.

16/05/2011 19:58 Found: #460 This is the 2nd of 5 weekend failures (that are in fact all there ) that I have re-attacked with far more care and attention. Thanks for the extra help MrMic as this time I walked up, looked for a minute or so (with my phone torch) then simply grabbed it. It shouldn't have been so hard last time either. A very well done hide. Loved the camo. I think I misunderstood the hint last time and then got confused. Of course there is really no excuse. A great cache! TFTC TNLN SL

Checked this evening and the cache is definitely still there.

Nice camo on this one, it blended in very well. Thanks MrMic for the cache.

14/05/2011 12:38 DNF: 4th of 5 failures today. Looked in the hole. Used a torch but saw nothing, reached in to the end and felt all about. This one I am reasonably sure has been muggled. I had read up the logs and the description so pretty sure I was at the correct hide. Later I spoke to Mrs. Xambo4u and and confirmed I was looking at the correct place. Anywho, my run of bad luck continues.

Easy find in the first place I pointed my torch.. had to wait a few minutes for no traffic before making the grab and sign.. thanks MrMic for the cleaverly concealed cache.. find # 1173

Nice GZ but cache was on the ground. We may have knocked it out in a our zeal to find it. Replaced back where we hope it was supposed to be. Cool camo. TFTC

Found with josiey. Hope it stays put now!

Great hide
TFTC

Found @ 11.12, SL TFTC, Great hide ! Did it with no problems, just had to wait for the cars to go by, then it was mine ! Putting it back though was another story !

I walked around the object a number of times before I spotted it. Thanks MrMic.

18:49hrs

After finishing the cache maintainance run we stopped off for a drink at HJ's and then headed off to this cache. GZ gave us the right location and it was Geoson #1 who spied the cache.
Great Camo

This was the third find this afternoon with geodog in tow. After finding the first cache on foot we decided to head for another then another- so geodog ended up having a good long walk.
It took me and geodog a while to find this one but just as I found it the owner MrMic appeared from nowhere!
It's always great to run into other cachers and especially the owners and have a bit of a chin wag and swap stories.
It turns out that MrMic and I are in the same profession!!

Thanks for the cache MrMic

Found it @ approx. 16:30

A nice easy find on a great Sunny Anzac Day afternoon.

Nice hide, took a little looking but eventualy found this good hide, SL TFTC Mr Mic

#556 Took a while to find but got there in the end. Lack of people around on Good Friday made it easier to keep looking without feeling too conspicuous. Very well hidden & camo'd indeed, but isn't it funny that once you've found it it looks so much more obvious. Thanks MrMic.

Great hide. Good Friday so no muggles. SL. TFTC.

Great hide,TFTC,SL

I grew up not that far from here and have memories of the cinema and the early Safeway store - with an automatic door no less! The cache was quickly found with its good bit of camo, thanks MrMic.

Found this one at 19:50 while on the way to bowelling tonight . A squiz at the hint actually had me looking in the wrong place but a change of tack soon had me with the nicely camoed cache in hand .

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks MrMic.

11:00 11/4/11 King and King

Found by Bob at 1115

I haven't been doing much caching lately, but I remembered this one was pretty close to being on my way to work, so I thought I'd drop by and have a go for it on my way in today. I was on my motorbike and didn't have much trouble finding a park close by and, even though I was expecting a bit of a tricky one, I was lucky enough to spot it as I got close to GZ, so it was a nice, quick one too.

TNLN

Thanks MrMic

Found with caughtatwork today.
This one had us stumped, but Mr Mini pulled out 2 in a row and spotted what was right in front of us!
Very tricky hide!
TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find after shopping in the huge shopping center.

We (my colleague's and I) are here, all the way from Holland, for work and sleep in the nearby hotel. In the little spare time I had already searched for this cache, thought that I searched every suitable location, but no find at that time. Today, after shopping, I showed my colleague's the GZ and within 3 seconds they found the cache. How is it possible that I did not see it myself? Tell me ...

TFTC.

Found by caughtatwork at 12:17 on 27/03/2011
Wow. Now that's quite a tricky cache. I didn't expect that and Mr of The Mini Mob eventually found the cache after we'd been round and round a number of times.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks MrMic for this well thought out and well hidden cache here today.

A quick dusk raid before geoson's bedtime. Nice cloaking - good hide TFTC

While returning to Melbourne this evening we made a quick stop off to grab this cache. Being late Monday night, there was hardly anyone around. The car was parked nearby and the short search commenced. The cache was in the second place checked, fingers crossed the camo remains in situ!

Thanks for the cache MrMic.

All fixed now.

We found this cache today at 11:05am as the 2nd of 30 on our North by Northwest Tour. We thought for a horrid moment on approach that this one was going to be on the roundabout but glad to find it in a much nicer little spot. Only reaslised on logging tonight that it was offline yesterday but cache was definitely in place this morning. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Offline for 24 hours while I fix the camo
Thanks for those who let me know it needed repair

After I was offered a complete home theatre for my house by two guys in a white van ( like I'd shop there), I made a quick find. There is no camo and the cache is very exposed.
Thanks for the cache

Found @ 11:15 while out for the day riding with the GeoMrs. Nice quick one. TFTC SL

Found @ 1:45pm lots of muggles TFTC

Quick find ... no camo left on this any more. Tftc!

6.03PM

I Just noticed I had forgotten to log this find. I was looking for a cache to find today and realised I had already found this one.
From Memory I found this on the way to the Pub after work.

Thanks to MrMic for the cache.

Tried on the way home from work. In hand shortly after getting there. TFTC. Nice hide.

Lochb and I didn't need any groceries, a coffee was needed by lochb, but we didn't stop by here to get it.
The geocache was found - Check, however the camo was falling off which made for an easy find.
(Due to belated logging I guess it will be fixed soon.)
Thanks again MrMic.

A quick find .. not sure if the camo will last long. TFTC

Great camo, hope it last. TFTC SL

Well it was a huge day today with my caching buddy and I getting off to a good start on our way to the event in Bendigo. TFTC SL

Found on another big day of caching with Dunko on our way to an Event TFTC SL

Dropped MMelb off at Youth Group and then headed off for a couple of hours caching. This was first on the list and we like the name of the cache!
We were very lucky as this could have taken a while but we happen to find it straight away. TNLNSL
TFTC MrMic - No time for groceries tho ............. WE MUST CACHE!!

8.20 My last for the night. Did not need to rush home tonight so plotted a geotrail from work to home. Plenty of parking around here and I think I picked the best time for this one as there was not many people at all. Parked in the shopping centre carpark and with a short walk took me to GZ. I am in the dark but quickly had it in hand. Love the container, great for retrieving the log. Well done, I haven't come across one used for caching before.
Thanks for the cache.

Another night caching run, now with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and C@H. A little bit tricky. Almost missed it on the first pass. TFTC.

Out for a night caching run with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) and fellow local night cacher C@H. No muggles about tonight so was able to stop right next to GZ and locate the cache quickly. Thanks for the hide.

Quick simple find. TFTC

Was too lazy to ride today so to justify taking the geo-fender I decided to stop off at this cache en route to work.

As I drove to GZ I quickly spotted the likely hiding area so parked near the corner and wandered over. Multiple spots to hide, but after one circuit soon spotted the hide - I've been fooled by these crafty sorts of hides before! Nicely done MrMic.

TFTC.

Drove here - check
Found cache - check
Signed log - check
Thanks to MrMic for this one, not many muggles about made for a simple search.

Found at 1410. Quick easy find.
No mugglers around either. SL TFTC

Found @2020 #290
This was tuff to find, and a very effective hide, very nice... The time of day help with this one, earlier in the day would be much harder.
Thanks MrMic, TFTC.

Found it 3TF !!! Still looking for my first FTF, got close on this one. CHECK !

Nice hide, but the camouflage fell away when I got close, owner may want to check that.

Was a good find, no mugs around. TFTC!!!!

YAY our 5th FTF now!
Had been out all morning and just got back home for lunch when this one appeared. Quick turn off the BBQ and let's go. Headed straight to gz and found the well disguised cache pretty quickly. TFTC MrMic back home for lunch now.
