James Squire Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

This was actually my first cache found way back in 2015. Funny story because I found it by accident and I think I must have discovered it in the leaf litter after it was archived, no wonder I never logged it. Thanks very much PPE because you got me into this hobby! TFTC and the journey.

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we cannot do so forever.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

If there is a valid long term problem then a note on the cache will be required every 28 days to keep the listing inactive or it will be archived as an abandoned cache without further notice.

Will replace this weekend - if its not raining.

This cache needs some TLC, as it has bit of a hangover:)

Found it on a windy winter Sunday while walking the dog in the area. It's been a while since I last DNF'd this one so as I was passing by I thought I'd give it another go. I did find it but it was on the ground behind the structure. I have sent an email to the CO. TFTC

Had a look but no luck

Spent some time looking for this one but came up with nothing. Maybe next time.

Oops posted message in wrong cache this one finally found in discarded como found last time???? I think it has gone walkabout and returned perhaps it needs to be reset TFTC

Last find of the night, found in plain sight so I hid it better. Thanks for the adventures!

After RIS log I decided to have a look again for this one. arrived at GZ to find what appears to be remnants of the hide PAF to confirm location did not find maybe muggled

This was a really quick find and not a tricky or a clever hide as previous logs suggest, which leads me to think that it has not been returned to its correct place and definitely not a 3 star difficulty. CO might need to revisit this one. SL #1432 on streak day #687 TFTC

A different place to hide a cache. TFTC.

As I walked around, the GPS kept wanting to send us where we knew we couldn't go, so we concentrated on the more obvious area. I was looking in some of the logical places when MrsFish, as usual, said "OK!" and showed me the very nicely hidden container, haven't seen one like this before. I suspect though, that it was not hidden exactly as originally placed so we spent some time replacing. Thanks for a great hide, really enjoyed it.

A quick find before lunch.

Dropped off the geofamily at a nearby kids birthday party and had a couple of hours to myself, so decided to find a few geocaches in the neighbourhood. Had started the Knightsbridge Bush Trail multi but since this cache was on the way, I decided to grab it. On approach to GZ I had an idea where this cache might be hidden, which proved to be incorrect. The GPSr seemed to think that GZ was right at the stump of a cut-off tree at the edge of the garden, but a search there turned up nothing. I sat down, read the logs, looked at the gallery and pondered a bit. The log entry from AussieCacher jogged my memory a little and after a little bit more searching I had CIH! SL and replaced, TFTC PPE!

Finally returned after a previous DNF here and surprisingly a quick find this time around. Thanks PPE

TFTC - Found with Interceptking!

Very clever camo!

TFTC - found with Christmasham

TFTH

Nice peaceful park, Thanks for bringing us here.

All good to go.

Loved your camo - good one... Signed the log with sevabo, skyejam. Thanks PPE.

After nearly 2 and half years James has finally moved on. Will replace shortly.

After homework still didnt find. Grrr

Did not find

Really disappointed we didn't get this one as looked everywhere it could be. Will have to send Aussie georelatives moohooboohoo back to find it another day

A DNF on our second attempt. Testing geochildren's resilience but luckily we live close so will try again.

On our fourth attempt, and with a bit of help from Austin&Vanessa, we finally found this cache!!! Good hide, TFTC!

After a couple of return visits , including one with geocaching son, this one was eluding us. It became a bit of a personal challenge. Finally today we did it. Well done for a very clever hide.

Ffffreezing. After the warmth of late we arrived at sun downish. Our spirits ( and bodies) were chilled but we will return!

While attempting to track him down two days ago, convict James Squire gave us the slip. This time though he came quietly and gave himself up without much fuss.
A bit of googling and a hint from 4DXPLOR's log revealed his hideout.

I always like to have a go first before reading the logs so I feel no shame in logging this DNF.
Have now read logs and plan on returning some time soon.
You haven't beaten me yet PPE!!!

Very clever
I like it
Tftc

Had a bit of a look around, couldn't see anything. There was a council gardener working in the area, not sure if it may have been moved.

Not today. Will be back soon.

Great hide - very clever indeed! Found it during a fun afternoon with some close friends out and about with the kids (had some help from fellow cachers). Very creative & effective! Did some minor repairs to the cache container. SL / TFTC

Quite a tricky one but fortunately there were quite a few of us looking so it was found quite quickly. Nice hint too! TFTC!

Had been here before, and definitely over thought it.

Thanks PPE.

Found with geodaughter. A small search then found in likely location. Great idea for a great cache. Thanks!!

Just logging a coin as being here

Searched for a while but no luck.
Couldn't make sense of the hint, so maybe just lost in Translation.

Found at 10:21 AM on our "Get to 9,999 cache finds before the Myriads and Milestones event on 21 April" with Browngang. This was a GAFF5 find.
We knew what we were looking for, but it was just a matter of looking around systematically. When we eventually found it, we thought that it could have been anything really - could have been Coca Cola for all we knew .
Thanks Purplepeopleater.

We were looking for James everywhere. In the end it turns out he could have been anyone at this age
Thanks PP
Cheers from BG

Had a good look and I believe I know what I was looking for but no luck. Perhaps a check as the last find was before cache removal day otherwise known as clean up Australia day. I was starting to look suspicious so I left .

Needed to post some mail, so I wandered over to Mr Squires. I found him right where I left him, all safe and sound.

DNF today ... quickly lost interest as well die to the rain. msg'd CO for a clue ... We'll be back soon.

Heading back after some dinner and a hint from pjmpjm .... Found it in a few minutes.

Excellent cache !!!

After 3 DNFs I wandered over to check James out.

He was still there safe and sound, not a hair out of place:)

Too good for me today.

Work finished early today so decided to go out with Footyfanatics and cover off a few in this area. Searched all over but didn't find it. Will be back after a few sleepless nights.

Didn't find out while out with evangt. I have actually been here a couple of times before but with no luck and today was no better. I'll be back.

Needed to grab a find tonight as part of my attempt to complete my calander!
This was one of the closest and bringing a friend along was great. Had reserched previously this cache so had an idea in mind about the container, but when I found it, it wasn's exactly as I had thought.

After only hearing about cache today this was our first adventure.
Read through all the previous logs and had it with in 10 minutes.
Great hiding spot.

THis was a cache that I had tried previously but only achieved a DNF. Together with Calypso62, we tried again. C62 had an idea & soon had the CIH. It was similar to one we had found recently in NZ.
Good one PPE. TFTC

I went with Geotooter to find this one today. After my caching experiences in New Zealand and a recent find in Lithgow, I had an idea of what I might be looking for. The clue now made sense and I was confident a find would follow. I arrived at GZ and sure enough, within a few seconds, I had discovered this sneaky hide. Until recently, I had never seen a hide like this one. I wonder what caching hiding styles I'm yet to experience. Well done PPE.

I walked over from nearby 'Red' and, after perusing the scene, sat down to read some past logs. Well before I knew it I had cache in hand. Bit of a lucky find but I will take it! Loved the concept. Thanks Purplepeopleater.

tftc didn't even know what James squire men but saw it and looked at it any way

Pulling up at this I remembered it from an unsuccesful visit in the past. Once again checked all the obvious spots, read the logs about ignoring the bush, and eventually spotted something. Very devious hide this one and would/will fool a lot of people. Very glad to finally have this one, thanks Purplepeopleater.

VERY tricky hide. The clues and locale make it obvious where it should be, but the excellent camo makes it very difficult. Just when you are about to give up, have another closer look.

Well found by geoAnne. We were over-analysing the clue at first. The trick is to keep it simple and check everything. Great hide, thanks.

After a couple of recent DNF's I drove by for a bit of maintenance late tonight.
Thankfully the cache is still in place and in very good order.

No luck today. Thanks anyway because I never would have visited this area.

Looked high and low - but no luck. Will try again when next in the area.

Such a simple find that chook is embarrassed we missed it twice before! Must have been really out of practice! TFTC

We searched and searched and searched. All the previous logs kept us here. They are right, this one is not in the bush. Good luck
Tftc meow4now

Dropped in on this cache last night with a good idea of what we were looking for, but got well and truly side tracked by the huge spiders and multitude of hidey holes. we left empty handed but after reading some older logs this morning we returned and after a quick search made the find, I hate to say but it was exactly what I expected, how did we miss this?

Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through on our 'round the world' tour.

Thanks for setting this up.

TFTC

Mud & Kim

Time after Time we came back to this but in the end geo-wend came out on top;)

HA HA P PE beats us again, after failing to find the Towers2 we failed on this one too!!!

Your way to smart for us

Like others have said the GPS wanted us to venture into the shrubbery, which I knew had to be wrong so we made ourselves afternoon tea and thought about the hint, and then the penny dropped and I was sure of what we were seeking. Geo-wife eventually spotted it, nice hide and cammo, thanks.

Back to the scene of yesterday’s DNF. We read all of the previous logs during the car journey to get there. During which time geodad decided he knew EXACTLY what it was we were looking for. We pulled up outside the park, geodad got out and started looking. Meanwhile geomum stayed in the car and was madly google searching the words “rhyming slang” and “James Squire” trying ot find out more about the name (this search resulted in pretty much nothing by the way). A minute later geodad knocked on the car window, with a cache in his hands exactly as he predicted. TFTC Purplepeopleater, a clever one!

We took on board the guidelines – do not thrash about in the bushes. But with the coordinates leading us right to the bushes we were at a bit of a loose end. Wandering around looking in the usual places, but came up empty handed. We eventually read through a long history of logs and gathered a few more clues, at which time the neighbours turned up and lingered around their front yard, which led us to feel quite conspicuous. Time to exit! Until next time….

We had a DNF on this one some time back and now being in the area we gave it another go. It still took quite a while of searching, also because we interpreted the hint incorrectly, but eventually the find was made.
Great camo and of course the hint was right, cheers!

Really cool cache, it was out in the open tho, so i put it where i thought it should go

Found with cybermew3 before heading out on a cache finding spree! Signed fresh log
Tftc

Cache check and log scroll replacement - all good at GZ:)

Found with Plus Elle on a slightly drizzly day. Had noted the revised coordinates earlier, but forgot and had to do some searching. Plus Elle came up with the find after some searching. Logbook has only room for two or three more finds.
We are from Calgary, Canada and just visiting in Castle Hill for a few days. Worth a favorite point.

Found with Darwould TFTC

We searched hard, went for a coffee, read logs and searched again.. to no avail. Our 1st DNF on a 3 star cache We'll be back!
Thanks for the challenging cache!

TFTC EPIC CACHE!!

I turned up and had the place to myself. I started my search and soon noticed something very familiar. I quickly signed the log. I own a very similar cache to this somewhere in the world. I enjoyed the morning caching as the weather was perfect. Thanks for the cache.

#320 - day 9 of our January geostreak

We had a bit of an idea what to look for and after reading previous logs steered clear of the gardens and bushes.... wasn't long before we had CIH. Nice one!!!!! SL TFTC

Ah! Now if I'd looked at the GC web page listing, I might have had a better idea when I arrived here. The gps had us in the bushes but, as others have said, there is no need to search in ANY bushes at all. I figured out the more obvious area to search but needed to paf Team Canary who advised me what I would have seen on the web page!

Then it all made sense and I found the cache. At that time, my gps read S33 42.858 E510 59.747 which was about 5m away.

What a really well designed container, very clever ppe

Reperio at 1015.

On approach to GZ, I had two things in mind that the cache would be. After a quick search was had in the wrong spot, I came back to the more likely spot, and soon spotted the cache after a couple of minutes in the manner I was expecting. Nice little hide.

Gratias PPE.

Another one we couldn't find but as the light was flagging, we decided to give up. Had we read a few previous logs, we might have stopped searching in the bushes and actually looked in the right spot - silly that we always read them after the event! We'll be back again soon! Cheers

I don't know what it is with me and PPE caches but I couldn't find this one today! I didn't understand the clue either but have just done a Google search and have some information that may (or may not) assist. I'll be back!

Luckily we found a similar cache just last night. Really like the simplicity of it, yet greatly camoed. TFTC.

After having dinner at the in-laws place down the road, geodaughter and I thought we go for this one before it got dark. I had geodaughter read the description and hint while driving to the park and I had a fair idea what we were looking for. Reading previous logs also helped locate this cache within a couple of minutes. I have seen this type of cache over in WA and one other in the hills area.
Thanks PPE for the cache
Cheers

The council seems to have gone out of it's as to make it difficult to gain access to the estate. I bet the entry gets manically busy at peak times. We hit GZ nt sure what to expect but we found it quickly. Love the design and execution of the cache. Thanks Purplepeopleater. [1148]

3:26pm
Have seen these a few times now, nice job. Easy find.

Cheers

On the way to GZ we were discussing what it may be and as it turns out we were right as its all in the name. We have seen this type of cache before somewhere but won't say where.

Thanks for the cache.

We needed to ring a Phone-A-Friend for a clue as the GPS had us in the bush as we spoke it settled in the right spot.

TFTC.

Looked for awhile but no luck.

Second attempt at this one after waiting for more than the initial 11 logs which left me empty handed last time, though even they all seemed to have the same advice - “co-ords out about 3-10m”. In the end it was still one hint in 4DXPLOR’s log I’d read the first time round, that finally paid off. Great little hide and kind of what I’d been expecting I was looking for.

Took quite a while to locate this cache. TFTC

first of its type find for us was looking for something much bigger nice camo TFTC

No luck with this one today, we widened our search area, muggle neighbours were out washing the boat so we will return another day.

TFTH anyway Purplepeopleater

This one had me looking all over without success. I read a few of the logs and look some 6 meters south and came up with the goods.

Nice hide, seen it before a few times but always tricky if you are not careful!!

Tks ... Purplepeopleater ... GazMag

#807

No luck with this one today

Eventually found !!!!
In the company of Rainbow Spirit and with timely advice from PAF... cache was found after a reasonable amount of searching This cache is a replica of one of my own (now archived). Coords are about 3.5 metres out however within bounds.. so all I can say is ITS NOT THE TREE STUMP, NOR THE BUSH, which is suffering geocache damage.
