Oh Aardvark!

Always did like this little fella - thought it was a neat concept. See ya, thanks for the memories.

Hi Chillibutts! Unfortunately this cache has recently been seriously muggled and needs a whole lot of tender love and care! We found the box lying on the steps with the contents strewn throughout the park Lots of broken apart cars! We managed to salvage a couple of the cars and a pen, but there is not a lot left. As we were not even sure where the original hiding spot was we have hidden the box down the side of the steps on the second level, it can still be seen, but nothing much else can happen to it! Sorry to report this! We went in the hope that we could grab a tb to put in a cache we are starting, but that too appears to be lost! TFTC anyway, sorry to be the bearers of bad news! We look forward to finding it again after it has been fixed up!

oh no. my poor cache. Thanks for the heads up.

First cache for the day, I picked up a chillibutts PT. So ending my day at 370 caches on a chillibutts cache seemed to be poetic justice. [^]
However 78... 78 what? People nearby, maybe. I counted 69! Maybe all those bridges I have been under recently have thrown the GPSr out
So while I am not sure what went wrong, I did manage to locus cache!
Nice cache. SL. TNLN as my items had no where near the Red Book value of yours
TFTC and a nice end to the day, chillibutts

Nice hide love it good decoration . Took a while to retrieve but loved it.

A very clever hide .It took Boxer and Tacker 1 a while to find this one.If we had taken more notice of the clue ,it would have been easier.Thanks for the search,we enjoyed the challenge.

Nice camo! Very well made. Need more caches like this one! Took TB left chip TFTC SL

Found on the way home from the pub dinner, with a bit of help from sietmozo (in as much as pointing out the general locale because I wasn't using a GPSr)

No. 500.

Nice size for suburbia.

Left a calling card ticked up a TB.

TFTC

My first find.

Very cool camo, the boy loved it! Left a geocoin and a travel bug. Geocoin needs to head back to the USA as it wasn't supposed to leave.

Love the container!!!
On way home from meeting with toad QLD

Two in a row, makes up for all my DNFs today. This one also needed stealth as two people who obviously knew a third had to. Stop and chat about her within 5 m of GZ, so I had to keep walking, and wait for them to go away. Took their time but. At last they left and I had a good look around. In there? My arm doesnt have enough elbows for that!!!
My jacket was too bulky, so had to take it off to reach in between and I was wondering how I was going to explain this one but luckily it wasn't too hard to pull it within reach.
Then no one came along to disturb me putting it back.
Thanks chillibuts.

We found this while out caching with MorrisMinor72. Had lots of fun and lots of laughs, even though I (Fi) did feel a touch unsafe whilst trying to retrieve it. Charlie took a game and left a car.

Thanks for the cache, we loved it - a favourite point from us!

Very clever, and hard to escape muggles at 1030 on a Saturday morning. But with some stealthy moves from above and below we found the prize. Excellent hide. TFTC.

This one is great. I love the 'camo'. Found a milk crate nearby. Came in very handy. As did teamwork with geokids to get it down...or up...or both...up, then down...then back up again...and back in.

Neat cache. Quick find between muggls.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Took a while but eventually found it. TFTC

we looked for 1 hour must be very well hidden will go back tomorrow and try to retrieve the cache.

camo restored.

all my "camo" has gone - will rectify soon

Sussed this one out a while ago but couldnt retrieve it due to the muggles factor.
A 41'C Sunday evening turned out to be a perfect time to retrieve this cache [^]
Cheers & TFTH.

Had the entire Wombat Pie team on the case for this one. We had just watched "Tintin" at the movies and found it after a short time searching.
TFTC. Swapped a car for a car.

After the Christmas event time to find a few more caches. After a bit of searching managed to locate it and sign and then back on the road to the next one. TFTC

Woops.. I stayed down when I should have gone up.. So around the block we went and then made the right turn and went up.. Being Sunday the muggles were very quiet and the cache was easily found.. Despite the activities of such a place this cache was well placed and hidden..
Thanks chillibutts for the cache

I was just a passenger in the car in the carpark but still took a hike to a higher level to claim this one,tftc

Awesome cache!

A high muggle area, but still managed to find it, sign the log and put it back where we found it!!
TFTC!

A great cache!!
TNLN!

Great spot... great collection so we added to it. TFTC!!

A good container - found fairly quickly. SL TFTC

Geodad required to find this. Came with the hound, the boy & the wife. Finally offloaded awesome Geocoin!

I just had to find this one having heard about the FTF antics here which have crossed international borders (Mexico)
Tricky retrieval for me.
Thanks chillibutts

GeoMum tried to do on her own and couldn't crack it. She'll be back. She desperately needs to off load a large Geocoin!

Last one for the day out with Don't panic Arthur and Ttrogg. Interesting hide, lucky it was end of day and very few muggles.

Geomum and I had been here before. Much quieter today and found by GM quite quickly. Good hide. TFTC

Final cache for the day and muggles were thin enough to allow location and extraction of this well thought out cache.
TFTC

Nice hide. A lot of muggles about but all at different levels from GZ. Thanks chillibutts.

Awesome Find on a busy shopping day. Lots of Muggles, but no one was paying attention. TNLNSL. Cheers! Nice big cache for nice urban area!

Found this afternoon with geodaughter after watching Smurf movie @ nearby cinema...

Well hidden & stocked cache....

TNLNSL

Thanks for the cache chillibutts

Spot of night caching with Team Waldron & White Dog Gang. It took us longer to find the right way in than it did to find the cache. Nice hide

Dropped our daughter and granddaughter off at Adelaide Zoo and then came geocaching without our relative muggles. Parked near another cache and then walked through the nearby shops, passing the Bakery, out to the street which we then had to cross to get to GZ. Made a fairly accurate guess as to where we might begin looking and came up with the cache fairly quickly. Nice one chillibutts. We liked the container. (There seems to have been a hi-jack?) Signed the log, replaced the cache, and now back to the bakery that's calling geohubby's name.

Spot of night caching with Trail06 & Team Waldron. Quick find once we found the correct entry point.
TFTC

I felt like Captain Cook when finding this one. We seemed to circumnavigate the entire car park to get to this one.

A faster more direct route was taken on the return to the car.

TFTC

Found with froghoppin in the pouring rain!!!! Took a while to spot..... and a bit longer to extract!! Thanks chillibutts for the hide!!!

Frogs love the rain, found while caching out with CP Wanderer on a night time run TFTC chillibuts

A very nicely constructed cache.
The only car related things I had with me were my own car (need it to get home and wouldn't fit in cache) and the car keys (would fit but need them to start the prementioned car) so no swaps today.
Took a bit of searching at different elevations to make the find.

Cheers and happy caching.

Once I got the elevation correct this was an easy find. The area was muggle free for my 7:15am visit.

Thanks for the cache chillibutts.

quick find on a late night caching run

Great hide! Saw it, changed keval, and brick wall! Gymnastics helped, but split fingernail open. Also smells of pee.

Very nicely made cache, found with team engage. TFTC

There were plenty of hiding places at a lower elevation , but no cache .
Quickly worked out what we had to do at GZ .
Took pathtag. Left yellow car. SL.
Thanks again Chillibutts.

A cold, dark, wet night sounded like the ideal time to grab this one, and it was! I got to park right next to the cache, and had the place to myself - apart from the occasional muggles who were too intent on getting to their cars and out of the rain to worry about me. Spotted the cache from one angle, then tried to retrieve it from another angle. I couldn't quite make it, so I needed to call for assistance - I looked up the yellow pages and found "a aaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aardvark height extension services", gave them a call and waited for them to deliver a milk crate. Too easy after that! Great job on the cache container, it blends right in with all the cars here .

Took nothing, left a pathtag
Thanks Chillibutts!

I thought the public holiday would be a good chance to grab this one, although there were still quite a few people around. Spotted it quickly but then really had stretch out my arms to try and grasp it, from a new angle i was able to edge it closer and guide the cache out of it's burrow! TFTC. grabbed the TB

Not too many people hanging about in the wild windy wet weather so the cache was soon found and stickered. Left TB
The talking aardvark on the english version of the mini series Kingdom Hospital was pretty cool.

TFTC

Found on a quick trip to Norwood to do some shopping.
Mr Fluffy had the nose for this cache and found it in no time!

Thanks for the cache,
Mr and Mrs Fluffy

A quick lunchtime caching trip was rewarded with a top find.
This is a great size for the location. One of the rooftop cars has gone missing.

I was right on that news wave when all the commotion about the FTF developed with this one! I had a fair idea what it would be hidden on/attached to but discovering where that was took a few mins longer. A Giraffes neck would have been useful here, Perhaps Mr. Tickles long arms too! Spied it and wondered how to reach it, looked wonderful from where I was standing! angled myself right and reached in, ok, got it, pulled it up, ugh, get off that!, Stop sticking to that, no! Get OFF!
Ugh, stupid strong magnets!, Grab, bang....slide, get off!, ok, now it won't fit out! hmmmm....arm out, move down, arm in, grab, move along x5, finally found a place to get it out and whallah!
Signed and replaced with more sticking and sliding and curses!
Ha! Awesome cache AND hide!
Red car has come off again.
Fave point for retrieval alone!

Excellent one - admired it. No swap. Signed the log. Thanks chillibutts.

Headed out caching after tonights Pub Dinner event to grab some city caches.

Once I got the dimension right, it was a matter of how to access it. TFTC.

Nice hide. I need to remember to always think in 3D, because I was fooling around for a few minutes before the light went off. I enjoyed this cache, especially because we go here quite often and I never knew about it.

I was walking around in circles for a while before I found it. Phew! I love caches that make me smile.
Thanks chillibutts for the cache.

Find 1207
I Have The Technology found with the GPS at the location shown on Google Earth.
Thanks to chillibutts for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere

Found between muggles on my way home from the city. Retrieved a TB, that I'll move on some time soon. Thanks for the cache chillibutts!

Soon had this one in my sights but needed a bit of muscle power to retrieve it. Nice container and very appropriate for the location. TFTC chillibutts

Found with Mary from Aussie M & M. Luckily her arms stretch more than mine
A great hide, thanks alot!

Luckily my arms stretch longer than Mognis otherwise this cache would have eluded us. Have measured our arms and they are the same length so I do not think she tried hard enough. TFTC chillibutts.... Nice lunch too.

Found with Mr A and my Schatzy just after the shops opened, luckily it was a rainy day and everyone wanted to park undercover
Mr. A had done the ground work and headed straight to GZ, after nearly pulling a muscle I managed to get the little critter out of his hole [B)]
Qiuck sign of the log book and pack he went nice and cozy for the next finder.


TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

A joint find with Schatzsuche1 and Southern Cross Caching, who did the reaching and stretching to recover and replace the box of goodies. Thanks for the help.
TNLNSL
Thanks chillibutts for a clever and innovative cache.

Mr A did the ground work but needed a hand to get the cache out. I didn't do much as SXC had to reach and use muscle power to get the cache. Tough magnets! Loved the cache container... very cute! Thanks for a fun cache.

Found the little creature.
Now to winkle it out of its burrow!
Or, perhaps, wait until it awakens and leaps out in powerful jumps!

quick and dirty fix of fallen camo. wet glue warning . see if it holds?

Looks like I pushed the Tardis too hard and jumped too far into the future - missed the FTF by two days!

Found this one on the way to work in the morning. A great sized cache and a really good placement. Saw the bit of "cammo" that the Wibbles vandalised I bit of glue would fix it. SL. TFTC.

Day 247 of non-stop caching.

Now I did get out nice and early this morning to claim Bronze in our new reality. Fantastic cache cillibutts. The contents of the cache remind me of the carparking back home. Thanks again for the hide. It's a first for the squeaky to have to log twice the cache but it was worth every penny.

Found on my way to school this morning. TFTC

Looked at this online this morning and read about all the dramas. Since I had to drive up the Parade to get the geolad to school, we thought we would call in and see what all the fuss was about. A quick find. Liked the themed container and contents. Thanks chillibuts for the cache.

... and by owner maintenance, I mean "owner" maintenance. My nerves have returned. Picture attached of how I was feeling at about 8pm on 5th April 2011.

Tuesday night: Cache 3.5km from home! Woot! Oh, it's not out yet. Oh well, tomorrow is a hole in our calendar of finds, it'll surely be online by then.
Wednesday morning: Is that cache back online yet? Why yes it is... what, what? What does THAT mean??
Mrs Wibble got the goss at work today. Why am I not surprised.....
Anyway, we made a quick find this evening with a surprising number of people still about, but easy enough to avoid them during extraction and replacement. Not sure what Astro's milk crate recommendation was all about though ?!?!?
Now, unfortunately, part of the camo fell off when we extracted the cache. Sorry about that. No way to re-attach it that we could see, without a hot glue gun on hand, so we've placed it alongside the cache should it need to be retrieved.
Nice to see a decent sized urban cache with great camo and a surprisingly lovely spot to view the sunset. In goes a sparkly pathtag for that effort!

Pulled into the closest park, found cache, signed log drove off in car. TFTC

FTF. This cache in this new time space dimension. However when we all get back to our own Reality i will be sure to log that cache as well... Can the Astro physics and the tadpole handle another time-warp or should we call the Doctor (Tardis Trio) in for assistants.Lol I would have loved to see there faces when i was scratching around in the dark.. Thanks for the Laugh and the Hide Freddo/Astro

Silver to Team scoobster at 8pm. Found container with log book and pen.. assume this is it... although no camo... but should be ok.

This must be a new phenomena ... the cache is on my kitchen bench ... but two teams so far have found it. Have we tapped in to a new time space dimension [?]. Astro maybe you can help me here !. I clearly have upset someone who placed a cache in in the same spot LOL!!. I cant wait to get to GZ myself to log the other cache and place my own. Is this a first???

After many phone calls and texts and confusion.. i've got home to find that NO chillibut's cache is NOT technically there.. but there might be a Frog and an Astro sitting somewhere having a good ol laugh at the rest of us.. finding something ..that is not really there!!
Hope that sheds some light...

Fired up the Tardis and had a look at this cache tomorrow - what a great cache, you'll all love it

I completely forgot about the tardis! Of course ... the tardis!

And here I was dusting off the DeLorean DMC-12 and rumaging through the bin for scraps to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed to get me to my cache before Squeaky72 and Scoobster!

i dont think you will the the DeLorean DMC-12 up to 88mph in that car park anyway.. so the Tardis is the best option... ill go back it time any day lol

Round 2. Another FTF pathtag on offer and a second FTF.... I thinks thats fair.

ohhhhh. the drama!!

TFTC Astro or Freddo, or who ever you are....

A father and son bull were sitting atop a hill on a beautiful spring day with lovely clear skies.

Grazing in the valley below is a large herd cows, a bunch of fine heifers.
The Young Bull, looks over the whole valley seeing many, many fine heifers.

The Old Bull surveys the valley as well and smiles.

The Young Bull, now too excited to control himself, looks at the Old Bull and says,
“Hey. Let’s run down this hill and begin production with a few of those heifers!”

The Old Bull looks back at The Young Bull and says,
“No. Let’s stroll down the hill and begin production with them all.”

The frog and the Starman were just leaving for our regular Tuesday night nefarious caching activities when the frog's BB got a message time stamped 6.17 that there was a new cache 2.8km NW. Woohoo. The message was so new that the iPhone had to be pumped to get the message, while the BB on Direct Push always gets messages straight away.

On the way to the cache we learned that, DEJA VU, the cache was, AHEM, published but not in place. Cool. That means that if we look at GZ we will know what changes and make the ulitmate find easier. Plus it was by now only 500m to GZ. So we went and the rest was history. Read thread and Astro's log for a hint of the fun. Anyways, we returned to open the real cache for the first time at 11.17 or so. To find my logbook and pen from the fake cache. ROTFLMAO... Well done. If there were tears. It was tears of laughter.

Published

BIG APOLOGY TO ALL - I was still checking details and it got published -- cache not yet in place. I will enable in the next 24 once in place
