Cast Away Oxenford, Queensland, Australia
By Pigwig2 and Mr Gap on 09-Jul-11. Waypoint GC2ZQY3

.

This was mistakenly enabled, MY Ph number was given out without my permission to another cacher, I did not recognise the number and as I was driving at the time I did not answer my ph. This cache is also within walking distance of 'what a hoot' which was already logged before the attempt was made to find this one. And there is a 'owner maintenance' note below if anyone trying to find it cares to read.

WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME AND FUEL.
if mugglers were th problem I wouldn't complain cause can't control that.
Bu getting to a enable live cache ( not disabled) and cache not even there!!!! It was disabled a while ago but enabled with a not changing Cords.
If changing cords why is it enabled again.
You could write a note with new cords or leave disabled so people don't waste there time.

I even called CO and they didn't want to help just complain to person who tried!! To actually help me!!!

What a game can't even get help!

Proof I tried

Have sent message through the system to Ministro requesting coordinates to move more than what is available to the CO

Still waiting for parts, hopefully not too long now.

Taken for some maintenance

Off line for now

Couldn't find it
May need maintenance

It's not there anymore

Checked and it's still there

Managed to grab this at what looked like a low tide unfortunately logbook soaked & couldn't be signed, TFTC

Darn

We could see the signs were it should be but unfortunaly it is not there....

up and running again

New container back in place

We didnt find this one. Maybe muggles or mother nature.

Couldn't find it
We went out on a limb on this one. Saw the tell tale signs of where it should be, but nothing to be found. Probably been muggled.

Will take a look shortly

all good

Took my friend to find the cache Amd he had no idea but once we saw the hint he found it almost straight away

Nice quick cache nice idea i might try it

Another Geograb in a few spare hrs. While deep in thought a few days ago about some ways I could hide a cache, this type was on the top of my list. Awesome idea I reckon. I took the low road on this one. I didn't want to break a Limb. If you catch my Drift. Nice new log sheet. TFTC. SL.

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 53.081 E 153° 18.132

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 53.049 E 153° 18.172

Distance from original: 289.9 feet or 88.4 meters.

The origanal hide has gone, so had to move this one.

New location.... should be a little easier than the previous one.

will go out and check this one soon

No luck with this one today

Cache has been muggled need to fix good placement though

Area dryer up and cut / sprayed for weeds no longer there

Found the Limb to go out upon...
Found a fishing line tied to said limb and though You Beauty...
Nothing tied to the end. (

My money says that I was on the cache but for muggling and or Mother Nature

Hope I'm wrong and that it's still there

Bouf

Awesome placement loved it, found it quite easily, once putting oneself out on a limb

I have wanted to find this one for ages but have not been able to get here when there is less muggle activity. I decided that today was the da for me to get this one. I had an idea of what to look for on this one and went 'out on a limb' to get it. After a good search I came up with the prize. Cache is in good condition and is dry. SL TFTC, now to finish my walk around the lake.

Found it No. 6767 ... not as old as I thought I was ... another great hide ... my green pen was not working as clear as I wanted, but still left our name ... TNLN .... TFTC Pigwig2

Balance is right lol! Sent mr geo out for this one! I am not that graceful hahah! Mr geo did great! Log signed and dry! Tftc!

La kedi opted to retrieve this one and had a great time. It was fun watching her too but she forgot her pen so I had to join in as well. Thanks Pigwig2

"What the heck are they doing down there?", came the little girl's bewildered cry. I confess I had to agree as I risked life and limb for a smiley yet again. We attracted quite a bit of attention going for this one, explaining that I hadn't climbed a tree since I was a kid and couldn't resist. Then posing and larking around till the muggles were convinced of my insanity and nicked off. I'd called the CO to confirm I was doing the right thing so I was prepared to do whatever it took, and even though that involved blood, I did it! Cache in hand, I realized I had no pen, and had to balance back toward my companion, who passed me one. Precariously perched, pen in teeth, cache balanced on leg, I managed to get the log signed. Hurray! Lots of fun, TFTC, Pigwig2 and Mr Gap! =^.^=

Out and about down the coast way today grabbing a few caches.
Back for another look for this one. Spotted it almost straight away. Why did i not see that last time I was here. A good dose of cache blindness.
The cache is dry. Thanks for the cache.

Balanced to no avail

Found with kgage. Still in good condition. Loved it

Tftc

2nd find ever "and for the day" great location, very fun. Still no pen

New container in place

attended to this one

I'll fix this one myself this time and not listen to the Gap man [:(!]

Found cache but was waterlogged and could not log name

Checked on this one today and I am happy to say it is still there and in good order.

Will check this one out shortly as I know there is a decoy nearby.

I'm just slowly making my way south for a week-end out on the bike.

Another nasty looking cache on approach but alas to say there was nothing on the end of the line. A bit of fishing line and that was all I found.

All back up with new log book & container

just a little maintenance needed

As Mr L&L says, I took photos while he did acrobatics!
TFTC and the entertainment

That’s just plain nasty, ‘pigwig2’. While Mrs Lat&Long took photos, I risked life and limb to retrieve this horrible cache . I actually made two trips, as I was not going to sign the log in situ for fear of dropping something. Happy to report that cache and cacher survived the experience, but it looks like a bit of moisture has reached the log at some time. It’s unusable at present as the paper is very fragile and part of it has disintegrated.

Third find of the day! I was feeling a little less confident with retrieving this one so i sent geocaching hubby out on a limb for me! Could not sign the log as it is full. Replaced as is.
Was hoping to find another 2 in the area today but a big storm came up in a hurry so we quick footed it out of there!
TFTC!!!

WOW.Third for today Geogirl and I searched high and low.GPS was all over the place. Spent almost 20 mins in vain but thanks to a kind clue from Pigwig2 we at least had an idea where it was. Oh Boy will I or won't I, hang after all that searching I've go to do it. Persistance brings results YES had the illusive cache in hand, next problem keeping it all together both me and the cache. Success Logged our visit (Not too clearly as log damp) TFTC SL

Right....you go, no you go, no you. If we were looking for a challenge we got it here. Love your sneaky thinking Pigwig2.

Hmmm, I was thinking I might have to go out on a bit of a limb here.
Luckily geono was with me and decided he was going to retrieve this one. I love it went your parents surprise you, still as nimble as ever dad!
thanks for a bit of fun pigwig2.

Now this one took some balancing on my part. Had to be careful otherwise I could have finished up in the drink. Also had to be very careful not to drop unattached parts. Terrific cache. TFTC Pigwig2

Wow! What fun we had here! Another great Pigwig2/Agap2 cache for all to enjoy. And, enjoy it we did. Great location! Wish I could put a spoiler photo up. Very funny! Nice work on the cache. [^][^][^] Three smiling faces after getting the cache and a smiley on Geocaching.com for our troubles. Thanks guys! Definitely a favourite!

Having just reviewed this cache and read BXL Designs log I thought I would share a funny sight we saw at GZ. We didn't see a white heron, but some other type of water bird about the same size but a bit heavier and darker. It was sitting on the branch and slipped backwards. It had to grab the branch with it's neck under it's bill. It used it's neck muscles to pull itself back up so it was once again standing on the branch. I wish I could have been quick enough for a photo.

After some weeks of a geocaching drought i was out with Aussie Liahona and it was my turn to be useful - and i have to say i was. Always wanted to play castaway and got my chance today as i did my acrobatics after Mrs. Aussie spotted something. Understood Fangsoki's log when I had to find somewhere to put things. Hint: look for a protruding bud Came back to earth to find Mrs Aussie was picking up broken glass - good CITO karma - and we were all well satisfied with another Pigwig cache to add to our finds.

We set off to find this cache and 'One Bob' at lunchtime today and having read the logs, my brother and I were fully prepared. It was a military operation of the upmost precision - with thongs (check), roller uppable trousers (check) and even a towel (check) - but when we got there we realised we forgot to bring ink! We're such amateurs! Well intentioned - but amateurs! So we have taken pics to prove we found this cache as well as 'One Bob'. Must say we had a ball we parked at Princeton Street's 'elbow' in Regatta Waters and it made for a short stroll. I spotted the cache but it was my brother who did the shimmy - quite what the folks that live in the homes across the way think of the occasional tree hugger is quite another matter! Interestingly when we first came upon GZ there was a beautiful white herron sitting on a branch - as we approached he didn't fly off, he dove into the water and popped back up further out. We had many laughs along the way and a shower when we got back - thanks PigWig!

My cache number 3400 was imminent. What better cache - than a Pigwig cache

I had attempted this previously - to no avail. Back again well after dark with Lokipagan. I made my way to down to GZ. I believe I uttered phrases similar to -:

"That's it there? - are you joking?"
"I don't think it's going to hold me"

And my personal favourite-:
"I think this branch will need to buy me dinner after this"

It really was a struggle. I am not the athletic to say the least. But I was able to do this. I surprised msyelf with some of my acrobatics. I clung for dear life. I retrieved the cache and had to hold things in my mouth that no sane man should [xx(] to organise me signing the log.

Of course the pen was not to flash - but i mananged to scrawl a small something. "FS" should do it The cache was in good condition and I made doubely sure I sealed everything up well.

The "trip" back was less than pleasant. Things were poking me where they shouldnt However I swung down and got only my feet wet - and managed to get out.

At the time, I felt the experience was quite taxing - particularly at 7pm at night How people did this subtely during the day is behond me. But I have sense of achievement that I got it - and it was a very memorable Number 3400 TFTC Pigwig2

Another great hide from pigwig. We were initially distracted by another potential container nearby but after retrieving realised that wasn't it. Take 2, after a bit of gymnastic contortion from mr grundies the cache was in hand but log was too soggy to sign. Having seen a similar hide elsewhere realised part of inner container was missing. TFTC

DNF for us today. Saw where the cache was but not capable of getting there.

Great cache. Had a couple of likely looking spots to choose from. Managed to narrow it down and retrieve a tricky cache. The log was slightly damp, but still managed to sign it.
TFTC

Lucky for Stairman1 he has more balance than me. I gladly let him go out on a limb and grab this one . The log was very wet but he managed to sign it. Geodog even joined him. Thanks pigwig

I saw the balance comment on this one and of course had to have a go! Thankfully, Loki's balance didn't desert her and the cache was soon spotted. The log was wet but usable when we visited . Thanks Pigwig2

Our only failure for the day. Gizzmo was pointing 4mts out to sea and I cant swim LOL so we left for the next one Thanks anyway.

A quiet day around the lake -so easily obtained without arousing too much curiosity.
TFTC

Took the dog for a walk and tried again for this tricky cache. Rifferous went out on a limb again and managed to track it down. Thanks Pigwig2

back up with new container

have a new container for this one will repair soon

Rather wet and unsignable log it went to mush on me!

The evil pair has struck again I should have read Herbz's log would have saved me a climb.....lucky it wasn't a hard one [^] My second attempt was far more successful [^] TFTC Pigwig2 and Mr Gap

After Rifferous dragged up something smelly not far from the gz (I may have had something to do with that he headed over to the correct location and started to search. Nothing came to hand so despite our having read the recent logs, he bravely decided to check out the red herring. Yep, not that. So that left .... nothing. Maybe it was under repair or maybe we just couldn't see it. We hope to get back again before we leave.

Mrs Herbz waited on the shore while Mr Herbz went out on a limb. Mrs Herbz told the many passing muggles that Mr Herbz was slightly mad (many would agree) and this explained why he was to be found 10m up in the air chasing a red herring. A quick PaF, to the cache owner no less, soon had him back on track and the prize was to hand. Yes, another worthy addition to the Pigwig2 caching hall of fame. TFTC.

Found with Gunnie69 this morning.....

Not sure about being cast away but one of us was sure strung out on a limb during our hunt...

Surprisingly this hardly raised an eyebrow from passing muggles...

Thanks pigwig2 for another challenging little location

Well, it’s safe to say I really went out on a limb for this cache...

Kaisho53 and I arrived at the busy spot and did our own thing for a few seconds to avoid suspicion. Kaisho53 moved in and spotted two likely suspects, both of which were likely to be a challenge... On closer inspection, I figured that one was more likely than the other and set about putting an extraction plan in progress... [^]

While I moved into position, Kaisho53 was assembling an aid that would assist in luring the cache towards us... See what I did there... Once the going was good, the extraction was made and log in hand. Now, all we had to do is ensure safety at all times for the log. Loss at this point would be catastrophic...

Luckily, it was passed without incident and ink was left. Log replacement was equally as challenging as extraction though and my balance was starting to waiver... I got it back though and the cache was replaced as found... [^]

Another evil cache from you know who. Anyone would think that she likes inflicting much mental pain on the caching community... In fact, I’m certain of it...

Cheers Pigwig2

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

I parked near GZ and my eyes narrowed at the car in front of me. A geocaching.com sticker. This could be interesting.

I got to where the co-ords were putting me and made my way down. I changed positions a few times to examine GZ but just should not see anything. I fear I was not... hmmm.. thorough enough with my examination of GZ. A more thorough examination might require someone else with me methinks.

I have since found out the two cars parked near me were Pigwig2 and Agap2.. and Gaz'n'Kab. I never did see them near the lake. We must have just missed each other.

I shall return Pigwig2

Ahhh... Well the GPSr was pointing in one direction, and I was praying it was wrong. Sadly it wasn't and after a lot of contemplating, the decision was made to go for it

Quickly grabbed the cache but sadly it was very wet. Luckily Pigwig2 and Agap2 were with us so we replaced the log and returned it

TFTC Guys!

Gaz'n'Kab

Tested to make sure all was OK... yup, definatly not for the faint hearted!!

The weather was a bit ordinary today but luckily by the time Mum and Bub settled down for an afternoon nap the rain had stopped.

This is only my the second cache hunt for the month and it was a 3 x 3... OK enough excuses... so after a lot of cache blindness and looking at the GZ from many different angles I finally spotted the item I was looking for. (Now to get to it)

Very tricky and a bit of a challenge Mr Agap and Ms Pigwig. I am glad I attempted this one in the daylight (I did notice the "not at night" attribute) and I am glad the rain held off for the duration of my search.

Another great hide. Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL

EEk! what have these 2 been up to? While Aussie Liahona and I went to Stanthorpe for Christmas in July more sneaky caches came out. Wish I had a geokid or two.

Having just completed "Bus'ed" and looking at the location across the lake we had some ideas as to the location and maybe the theme? Arriving near gz the decision was made to allow the geokids tackle this one! Found safely, signed and returned with care. With the added bonus of a FTF Signed at 1.45pm. Another clever cache by Pigwig (and Mr Gap!!). Well done!
