Gonna let this one slide - options for new hides are a bit slim - thanks to those who visited.
Didn't have the lastest logs in the Montana GPSr, so didn't know it was missing.
Are you replacing the Geocache?

Found the lid and muggle sheet.
No sign of the rest of the container and the logbook.
Needs replacing.

This one has been sitting on my unfound list for far too long so decided to go look for it on the way to the 11/11/11 event. Like others I found the item further along than the hint suggested. Always pays to read previous logs as it saved me a bit of time. TFTC
Local park that we had considered for a cache site but never got around to putting one there! Cache a bit uncovered but have sorted that. Nice urban green space. TFTC
Decided to go back for this one after having a quick look for it last week in failing light. Now I think I have mastered the new GPS it turned out to be relatively straight-forward. Once a distinction between concrete and basalt had been made I was quick to spot it. I was hoping to pickup a Geocoin as listed on the inventory but either I was blind or none remain ?
Anyway thanks for the cache.

Had an errand to run tonight so I thought a little detour was in order. I wandered around examining rocks for about 5 minutes as the GPS wandered with me. Finally, something caught my eye that looked both like the clue and like it just didn't belong. Turns out, I was right on target and a little peek revealed the cache. Not too hard as far as night cache hunts go. TFTC!
....TFTCLast cache for an early morning hunt. Took a little while for the GPS to settle so checked the hint and searched a bit further. All good. Left a coin. TFTC, Biggles.
Paced out the 10 metres, ended up being well short, but no matter, made it in the end, thanks for another nice cache 
Wandered a little bit before we found the right cache, but found it in the end! TFTC
Nice little park that I didnt know existed. They certainly made the parks nice with the walls and paths, back in the day... Thanks.
A new park for me, got to examine quite a bit of it in detail, in other words it took a while to spot this one.

DNF due to muggles in the area, felt uncomfortable loitering with people around. Will return soon.
7481 Yep... no tourists here today... just a couple of cold cachers, nice spot, TFTC.
I actually drove past near here last night, on my way home from some night caching. Unbeknownest to me there was a new cache to be found. Decided it was too late to head out again last night and had my mind on other things this morning so let it go. But, with no finds still at 8pm tonight I thought I really should pop out given its proximity to home. Soon realised I had left the info sheet behind and ended up looking for the cache based on vague recollections from the cache page. Eventually sanity prevailed with a call home. A super quick find after that! Completed the formalities to claim my 18th FTF. Cheers for the cache!
