As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Even though this one is disabled atm, the positive logs lead to to search for it as I was not far away looking for another cache.

I located it in speedy time, signed the slightly damp log and was on my way.

Love the cryptic clue, not at all what I expected.

Being the closest to home thought I would knock this off a few ago but go to today and it had been disabled. Really close to the point of being able to write on , just damp.

Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

LOG WET but we dried out as much moisture as possible - may still need changing.

To the CO

Cache was pretty much wet and we're not able to write on. Tries to dry it as much as I can. Please check serviceability of the cache.

Keeping the August streak going with this find.
Was looking in the places that I thought the hint indicated but with no luck. Read a few of the past logs and realised I was on the wrong track. After that, it didn't take much star gazing before I made the find.

This one took way to long for the hint to sink in and didn't help with the freshly mowed grass and the fact it has been a while since last uncovered. Anyhow got there in the end TFTC

TFTC Cool

I searched in the wrong spot previously. The coords are out by 4 metres. I had a feeling it was not near the trees. Just needed to prove my theory.

TFTC. Found with azazzlenic.

Cleaning up a few of the caches that do not have smileys in this area and this guy was next on the list.
Lovely area to live but you would sure need a ride on mower to keep the grass down.
After the cache was found I wondered what the hint meant!!!
Thanks 92nty6 for bringing me to this lovely area.

11-Jun-12
It certainly wasnt a day for caching, the heavens had opened up but the urge to find some plastic was overwhelming.

After a short search at GZ I was starting to wonder where this cache could be. Thinking like a star I looked in the obvious places, then a light-bulb moment occured and the star soon revealed itself.
Thanks

Out with Muggle sister in law and asked if we could call in and grab this 1. Was looking in the wrong location to start with and took the clue to mean something different. Had a rethink and made a quick find

Took a little while to find this one. Once we got to GZ had a good idea what to expect, with the cache name. It was just a matter of trial and error till we found the right one. This was our last cache for the day before heading home. Thanks for this one 92nty6!

This one was really frustrating, I kept going to the obvious spots, only to eventually find the cache somewhere completely different, I suppose I should have used the correct 'angle' to start with. Thanks 92nty6. No idea what the hint means..
 
10-Aug-11
i looked and looked, i keeped looking where the gps was putting me about 5-10m from gz in the end used my phone a frend and then i was looking for the right stars i wish i did not look at the hint as it threw me off

While I was searching for this one, a young woman and her daughter pulled up nearby. (I later discovered she lived only a few houses away.) She asked me why people kept stopping at this particular spot and wandering around! So I gave her my very best introduction to geocaching. She even wrote down the GCA address! At least there's one less local who won't be worried about the strange goings-on at Calverts Road . . .

Well, I looked around for a while until it struck me that I should consider the title and the clue. (I had been worried that the coordinates might be wrong and was scouting out more distant hiding spots.) That's when it hit me. Very clever.

The little container was in good shape and the log sheet was dry. Strangely enough, my Oregon 300 thought that the published coords were nearly spot-on (only 2 metres out).

Many thanks to 92nty6!

Easy find.

After a few minutes, after checking at the posted co-ords, which proved to be out by a few metres. Cache finally in hand. TFTC
 
25-Jul-11
Made a detour on the way to work this morning to look for this one. GPSr was all over the place at first, but it finally settled down to send me looking somewhere about 5m away from where I eventually found the cache.

As an experiment, I pulled out my iphone to see how it was for accuracy, and it had GZ about 14m out. I think this is my third attempt at caching with the iphone and the 'best' result for it so far, so I guess that confirms that I should stick with the GPSr.

Thanks 92nty6.
 
25-Jul-11
Had not been at GZ very long when 'bikerbuddy' turned up. I love how you never know just who you will meet at a cache!!Big Grin

Within a few minutes 'bikerbuddy' had the cache in hand. We both signed the log and replaced it from whence it came.[9D]

Tks ... 92nty6 ... GazMag

A fellow cacher encouraged me to go look for this one this morning, possibly as a test of the coordinates, and possibly to laugh at me if I failed to find it. Fortunately the geo-gods shone upon me. I found Gazmag already on site, looking about, and together we briefly discussed the clue and decided we knew where it was. I think the coordinates were reasonably accurate. But then again, I do have an Oregon 550. Twisted

Thanks for another one!

FTF with Boosdad
on our way home from visiting mum at the hospital we grabbed some tea then the email sounded to notify us of a new cache so a fast u turn was done and we headed off only armed with iphone. the phone jumped around a bit after 25 mins of searching we paf who kindly baught a torch to us. another 15mins we had cache in hand. thank you very much 92nty6
 
24-Jul-11
FTF!! With Teambooo.

After visiting a sick relative in hospital we were returning home to feed the family when we received a notice of a new cache. Geo-wife (teambooo) asked where it was and after a bit of explaining she knew exactly where we needed to go. A quick U-turn and we headed straight for GZ.

We arrived at GZ only to find we had no real GPS nor torch so after 25 minutes of searching a PAF was needed and they also provided additional illumination. After another 15 minutes of search we had the CIH. Signed the log and returned to its hide.

Thanks 92nty6 for the cache.

On my way out the door to get a FTF.in Richmond when team boo rang up for a little bit of help.
A little hesitant to help but I'm a big soft and they were in need of a torch, so I thought i would at least lend them my torch.
Soon after the team had CIH and smiles on their face for the persistence had paid off.
Great effort team boo and boo's dad.
