Little G Gets Fixated (Canterbury) Yaldhurst, South Island, New Zealand
By LittleG Magic on 06-Oct-11. Waypoint GC35FQW

Still believe it is there but the reviewer is keen to kill it - so its gone

I noticed this cache has a string of DNFs and that the CO has not verify the cache status. I have temporarily disabled this listing, to give the cache owner an opportunity to repair their cache in accordance to the cache maintenance guidelines. http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

While I feel Geocaching.com can hold this location for a cache owner and block other caches from being placed nearby, it cannot be held forever. In other words… Use it or lose it.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the [blue]archive listing[/blue] 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 or replacing this cache, please log a reviewer note on the cache page (not email) within the next 30 days to avoid the cache being archived due to non-communication.

Thanks for your cooperation.

No joy either, looks like it's been a while since it was last found. Next time maybe.

so have wedged it back out of sight but probably not where it is supposed to be

It was quite a hard hide anyway - would be surprised if it was actually missing

Perhaps the hider can help you - if we get out and about we will check it out sometime

LGM

Once again!!! One day maybe?

I tried to find this cache at 3:14:00 p.m. on 11/05/2014.
As you can see I did not find it today. This could be for many reasons but mostly it is probably because I was temporarily blinded in the vicinity of the cache.
I will watch the listing and return to do battle at a future date

No luck after a lot of searching.

Nope... between the 5 of us no luck for any

Big search but no luck

Spent a while looking but could not find :/

Set of with some trepidation. I couldn't find the GPS, so that did not bode well. We decided to try and use the app on the phone. We found the general location quite quickly, then the fun starts. The geokids set off looking, so did the geodad. Frustration. Hmm its got to be somewhere close. Look harder and harder still no luck. Then geomum gets involved and finds it in about two minutes.... Thanks LittleG Magic another great hide

Nice sunny but cool day and decided to go look for this one as it is creeping closer to being nearest unfound. Got to GZ with 1m to cache. With LittleG hides even 1m is not good enough sometimes so started the hunt with GPS in pocket. Even though it was only 4pm not a soul about and hunting under on and around the area did not feel as though I stood out like a sore thumb. 10 minutes of searching, scanning and prodding finally had me with cache in hand. Tricky wee thing as it is. Then had to replace cache and go back to car for pen DOH!! Glad to have found and finally signed. Great little hunt and find.

I'm feeling pretty tinny right now. I got right into this one and was actually right under the bridge. Google Maps satellite gave great help. Tftc

The MacPacParents found this fixation at about 9.30pm after helping out at Scouts. A little more exposed than we think that LGM would have left it, so have wedged it back out of sight but probably not where it is supposed to be.

My third visit to this cache - the nearest to my home, finally brought success. Kids were surprised I found it as they did more looking than me! - just lucky I guess. Feeling of relief / joy !

Spent a lot of time on this today. Tried this, tried that, tried something else.
alas it was still evading me, until i spotted a fraction of something out of the corner of my eye. Wedged it back in to where i thought it should be. TFTC awesome hide.

Had another look - no luck - hope it's not been stolen ( : ( )

My dad my sister and me tried to find it but didnt will try again soon.

To all you watchers out there I have got it finally!!! It is there and it's firmly wedged in its hidey hole. I swear I have looked there before. I think this is my fourth visit and finally I can claim the smiley. Nice wee park here now. I can say the only a few years ago this was all paddocks. Ah, feeling old now. Thanks boys for the adventure and that's two LGM hides in a row with smiles. Now I better get back to real life and get down to the merchant to get the required materials for the afternoon's work.

Well, we returned today with a clue and no luck again even with 3 of us looking for about 45 minutes!! Aargh! Even read all the logs for 'clues'. We are newbies and don't know how to 'look' for a Little G obviously.
We will be back.

Searched and searched but no find

Nice new subdivision. Had a good hunt around but no luck. Grrrrrr.

Thought we were on a winner this time around with this one after reading the previous logs, but NO, it has once again evaded our uneducated LittleG Magic Cache eyes. Will try again another day

Thanks Chessmad for putting it back correctly ! Dont you just hate it when cachers dont put it back properly - boy have we experience of that !

Hmmm. I thought. Little G. Hard. Challenging.
Got to GZ and was oh...
Cache in plain sight lying on the ground.
A bit disappointing but I replaced it how i thought it was supposed to be placed.
TFTC

Neat little find
could not believe how fast my 8yr found it!!
he literally walked up to it and said "FOund it!!"
even before we had turned the corner

TFTC

Thought this was going to take some time but was very quick.tftc

First of Little G's found in a while, cheers.

Found while in the area. Somewhat surprising being able to find a LittleG cache first time out. Maybe I'm getting better.

A good hide on Little G Monday. Subtle yet effective camo here. Very happy to walk away with a quick find. Thanks.

Monday morning is Little G time. Got one on the board. Phew. This luck may not last
Thank you for placing this cache.

Quick find.

Found it! awesome hiding spot

Great hide TFTC

Had a couple of shots at this, got a hint and made the find. Thanks KM. Watch out for the stinging nettles you night time cachers!

Don't know how I missed seeing it seconds after arriving at GZ, only picked when I was having a last look around before leaving; TFTC.

Ah, sneaky thing. Spent a while looking all over the thing and dodging the muggles about the place when finally it was spotted. A quick grab once you know where it is. TNLN THanks

Another visit = DNF. Fixated? Frustrated!

Found fairly quickly on the way past. SL TFTC

Tftc nice wee hide

After being here so many times before we brought a child with us who found it really fast. LGM said it was made easier but this was stand out easy so not sure if it was placed back correctly previously. We left as found but after many times here before was just sitting there. But at least it's off our list now. Wonder where it was hidden that we could not find it before.

Found very easily by son of justanurse, put back where found but little g may need to check as may not be correct spot tftc, am pleased to have found.

Took a few minutes to hunt down, but GPS is Bang on.-Bitsprayer

A clever hide, after looking in this area I conceded and moved on to another area close by but then the call went up! I couldn't believe it!.
Thanks

A litle beauty but it took two visit to finally find the cache. TFTC

Does that not just wind you up it must have been the earthquake that moved it - yeh right !

We had almost given up on this deviously hidden cache, when Mrs W.E.K.A. spotted it. Needless to say we made it a favourite. TFTC

With two Little G caches nearby we tried this one first. Previous logs didn't give many clues and hiding spots for a T 1.5 appearing limited. We let the GPSr settle to see if the needle would narrow things down. Managed to sting my hand on a spikey bush nearby. Started to inspect closely and drawing on our recent deck building experience to look for anything out of place. Some more searching and then we moved something that looked a little out of place and there it was. We signed the log and replaced. TFTC.

A quick and easy find - but only because I have previously spent alot of time hunting here! Nice to tick this one off! TFTC

Unfortunately the family in the house nearby were having a birthday BBQ in their backyard and the wee girls decided to stand on the fence to keep an eye on us.Further along the path teen muggles were congregating so we decided that this one was best to leave for another day.

Unfortunately there were to many muggles in the area for a proper search. We will save this for another day.

Little G visited today - he made it a little easier - still definately a 3 with a fresh log to boot -

Well this is getting embarrassing, second look with a friend and still no luck

OK ---We will have a look but every confidence of the outcome !

Second time I have been here and with some both times. No luck at all. Not sure what I am or am not meant to be fixated on.

Yet another little g not found

Two of us had a big search and couldn't find it. Had looked previously on 26/12/11 and likewise had no luck too. Perhaps needs checking.

Without any disrespect - others that know Little G as the 10 year old monster & his style will just smile at your log - too many times we have reacted to logs asking for checks only to find it exactly where he left it!

This is a Level 3 Little G cache !

We will monitor with interest & check out next time we are in the area

5x20min search = DNF

With 9& 11year olds no luck

TFTC

#581: Fixed.


I came out here to try this one with GeoYoungling #3 today. Being fairly familiar with the CO's MO, I quickly changed my focus, and made the find. Nice camo on this one. All in good shape.


SL/TFTC!

While searching I bumped my head - got a fright when a bike rode past above me. Two went over as I was signing but I heard them coming. A sneaky wee hide I nearly dkdn't notice. TFTC.

Out for a family adventure in the cold to a developing part of town we have never been. Cool to see how google maps/satellite view is different to reality! Quick find in the end. Clever wee hide. Wee dudes loved the slides at the playground over the way....Thanks.

A bony little search and a really good find with an eleven year old in tow, who didn't make the find. Thanks.

TFTC. Did this cache, with Flobberworm!, under cover of darkness. I will have to return here in day light as the area looks pretty interesting. Lovely wee spot to get fixated. Nice container.

A clever, yet simple wee hide. TFTC.

Took a little hunting, but MD spotted it after a muggle walked by and interrupted our hunt. Cheers Gav [9820]

An easy find TFTC

3756. Out with our 5 year old grand-daughter today and we are having lots of fun! We went to find this one while we were making our plans for "it's Oh! K"!
Thanks
