Due to constant destruction and muggling of my caches. I have decided not to maintain this cache and am archiving it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

Had another look for this one again today. Spent about 15 minutes for no joy, it's probably still there though. A very busy intersection, I think a group assault would be better here.

TFTH

Searched high and higher. used every tool imaginable DNF

Go past this one a couple of times every day, not really a fan of pergola caches so have put off visiting here for a long time.

Decided to come and have a quick look today and after five minutes I had to move on, very busy intersection.

TFTH

As requested checked on cache, its still there.

Coukd owner please check this one

Another misses biting the dust, another time we will meet again!

Not a single sighting of the cache maybe need to grow a few more inches lol

Busy spot. Tried our best to look cool and uninterested.

Haven't done ap caches for a while thought we would grab a few on the way home

needed helbren's height to find this one

AP always have challenging ones to find. woo hoo for me on this one after 40 minutes looking and thinking...TFTC

Out and about with gerry72au this was a big fat DNF for us, had no luck what so ever! Just a reminder to me how much I hate caches at pergolas and gazebos tftc anyway, had fun hunting and will hopefully have better luck next time round!

Spent the day caching around the southern suburbs of Perth.
We visited a variety of parks, and cache hides.
After checking this twice before, we finally got lucky with our timing to have very little traffic.
A quick search and the cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache, Allied Pranksters.

Now I remember!!! I hate pergolas.

Tried to wait for traffic to ease but it never did so just had to go for it, from the right angle it was spotted and with a slight stretch it was retrieved ...... second attempt proved more successful!

Out with skippy 46 to pick up a couple of DNFS ive had in the area and a few new ones that i hadnt yet had a chance to find. I was glad to get this one off my DNF list. As usual the road was VERY busy so we had to wait for a few light changes to have a good look. I then noticed something that didnt look quite right so i got skippy 46 to have a look and YAH it was the cache. Sneaky hide, TFTC Allied Pranksters

A big day out today, caching with Mistraluna. Had an awesome time, beautiful weather for a winters day. Lots of caches found and even managed to fit in a shopping trip as well. Found cache, SL, TFTC Alied Pranksters , on, on ....

Oh dear, have gotten so far behind in logging my finds over the past few days, so now have to catch up. Found this one on a caching run with Luna Maya. Easy find after reading the hint. Thanks Allied Pranksters

Second try. Thanks to a big of valuable info. Was looking in right area but with help of son Jamie we found it. Thanks guys.

Need a clue. What do traffic lights have to do with it or where is right spot to stand???

Had just arrived at GZ after a way too long cycle when a friend rang to meet for a late lunch. D'oh! Thanks to an extremely accurate coordinate, I was able to locate the cache. It didn't seem stable when I returned it to its hiding spot so I used my sternest voice and told it to "stay". This command never worked on my Jed but hopefully it's more successful on the bison. Thanks for the cache.

Pavement works happening cache is ok

On a re-check today however the council has done maintenance on the area. Might be worth a check of cache. Once the bunting has been removed we will be back!

Hmm disappointing tfth any way Pranksters

Looked for this on the way back from the doctor's yesterday. Felt very exposed and self conscious in this busy area. Searched for ages but DNF. Took somewhat taller and more adventurous daughter with me today but still a DNF. Searched every nook and cranny both high and low. Hope it is still there and it hasn't been muggled.

On my way to this cache I read the description and read some of the recent logs. I gathered a bit of valuable information, so on arrival at GZ I started searching in the spots I thought the cache might be hidden.

It turns out that I had the exact right spot on my first try, just on the wrong side of the structure. I was quite pleased when I made the find fairly quickly after having searched the other side first.

The traffic was very light on this afternoon, so that was not too much of a problem. Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters!

Checked on cache still there.

Out on Perths first hot day for quite some time and I am hoping that the caches don't involve too much hard work. Well that was a dumb thing to hope for......

Searched high and low for this to the point of feeling really embarrassed with all the traffic around. Will definetely be back for another search when I hope the area is a bit quieter.

TFTH Allied Pranksters

Spent quite a while looking for this cache but we couldnt find it.It was hard timing the traffic lights as the road was busy. I will have to come back another day and look again.

After dinner with family we decided to tackle a few caches on our way home, decided this would be a good one to try..we were cold and almost ready to give up after about 10 minutes but read some more posts and then within another 2 minutes geo Josh spotted the cache. Happy to be the FTF on the new log:) TFTC

Container seems to be gone or put well away from original location.
Replaced with bison tube.

My 2nd DNF here. I will be back. TFTH AP

Need to look again!

Found with kel279 and the crew

Fifth Easter Sunday night find! Took longer than expected but got there in the end. As with others we looked there already but had to let our fingers search further with a bit of stretching. 5 sets of eyes certainly got us lots of states at 10pm!!

Super tricky but be persistent!!!!!

Found with Kel279 & Cravo10

I was there for more than 3 light changes ... no luck. I will be back. TFTH Amstradkid

Out and about with trevkevred for the day. This was our 1st DNF, even though we think we looked everywhere, but apparently not.

TFTH anyway

I searched the whole structure without success so started a more thorough search and found where I had missed it the first time.

Thanks Allied Pranksters.

Had a big day out caching with iluvtrekking in a 13 hour marathon and recording our PB in number of finds. Four pairs of eyes and hands and we all went over every level of this structure and each had missed the cache. Were just about to give up when geo-hubby put his hand on it and those most welcome words were emitted - I've got it!

Well, I really thought that this had got the better of us. How many times did we look there, how many times did we miss it. A good hide indeed.

Met up with Tanzanite! early on a very drizzly and grey morning to make a long overdue attack on some caches South of the river. Having found fifteen together already that morning, my Geo buddy and I had to part ways , due to a previous engagement , so I was left to tackle this one on my own.

Well after 20 mins of searching every possible spot... my hands were black.

I decided to phone a friend for some guidance. He told me to search a particular spot, but I responded and said it's definitely not there, I have searched it in great detail three times already.... as those words came out of my mouth my hand landed on the Cache !

Doh !!!!

TFTC

While out working this way I decided to scout this one out. Parking the GeoTruck at GZ I quickly saw the possibilities. After a quick search of every possible area, I finally felt the beasty, oh AP you are nasty, a nice hide though. SL TFTC AP

Found on second attempt. TFTC.

Nice hide....found between the muggles.

Excellent hide spot - again I am so glad to have Mr FelixII with us... Thanks Allied Pranksters.

Mrs Felix sat down last night to make out a caching list for today. Aiming to reach 40 caches today. We joined forces with Everlasting for an all day assault southside!

Hmmmm this cache is Getting a bit weary by now. Read the previous logs, but weren't getting too far. Finally Mr Felix again spotted the cache. Is this becoming a boy thing or a tall thing?

TFTC Allied Pranksters

How very civilised. No prickles, ants or barking dogs. Loved it. TFTC

nice comfortable place to rest....searched leisurely until I tracked container down...thanks Allied Pranksters

Day 115.... My only for the day.....

I want one I want one I want one!!!!........

Had to be there, just had to time it right. Cool cache container!!! A Fav vote just for that (being the first time I seen one like that!)



TFTC

2TF at 11.00 pm. Only a couple of km from home and seeing as there were no logs at the time, I left the house at about 10.15 in search of a potential FTF. Took an age to find the the cache - I guess I'm still taking a while to get back into my caching groove. Spent about half an hour searching the actual spot the cache was hiding but could see nothing. Eventually decide to leave but thought I'd first let my fingers do the searching and found it straight away. TFTC!

I just love caches close to home. All I had to do was put on some shoes and off I went. Found the cache in a logical hiding spot considering what the object was.

Thanks for the cache.
