Yes it's true, it's dead.
I found it today out of it's spot, stuff scattered everywhere but that is the risk you run when you do a cache in full view and Cachers don't attempt to hide what they are doing and those pesky muggles see and think I will look at that and destroy it cos I am a stupid head until you just wish Flanders was dead............... I digress. It is gone now.
Bye

Cool hide homerjay73. GPS took me straight there and GeoBel made a super fast find. Does need a tidy up though as the GC wont close properly.

Well I felt like the first to arrive at an accident today.

Found the logbook on the floor, trinkets scattered also and what I assume is the cache on the ground. I put it all together again as I thought it should be but this requires maintenance.

Dare I say D'oh!

Ahhh...
Recycled!
Nice to see an environmentally friendly cache.

Any hoo...I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life.
Number 1: Cover for me.
Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss!
Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

A good cache this one - well constructed. It appears that a muggle has found it and left a log and a cigarette (the latter was removed).
 
21-Jan-12
Hmmm....
Looks familiar as always.

Dipped this geocoin here as it had not been logged into the cache by the previous holder.
 
11-Jan-12
Had the prime parking spot and no muggles around to spoil the search. The nicely camoed cache was recognised quickly and logged at 3pm.
Took geocoin, left fish and some digimon cards
thanks homerjay73

I headed out tonight to meet up with my best mate Marshy (Blacklegend) for one of our huge caching night runs. We had no major plans for the night as we usually do as there had been so many new caches published since we last met up, so we just winged it for the night.
Another homerjay73 cache for the night and with no muggles about, we had an uniterrupted search before soon finding the cache, although there was a domestic going on somewhere on the other side of the carpark.
Thanks for ths hide.

One of 26 on another legendary night caching run with my best mate and caching buddy Marty aka Quasar3671. Yah, familiar with the style, spotted driving up. Big domestic at the nearby McDonalds had us a bit on alert, but we were outa there before there was any flow through to where we were. Great hide. TFTC.

The great thing about caching on a real scorcher is that there are few muggles around to bother one. That was the case here and I was able to park in the closest car spot for a nice easy find, albeit from its clever hide, at 12:50.

TNLNSL. Thanks homerjay73.

Found @ 15:45. First cache for the year. Clever hide turned into a quick drive by.

Found at 2100. the very NON-Geohubby randomly asks me if I would like to go and find one of those box things!! Knowing that he wouldnt want to go searching in the bush and thats all we have that is close to us we take a little drive out to Thomastown to get a few caches!! this was the first and an easy find as I have also seen this hide from HJ in the past!!

Quick easy find SL TFTC

This was the second time I'd been here looking to do this cache. The first time I was sure I'd spotted the hide (correctly as it turned out) but couldn't approach it due to a muggle family in their car only five metres away [:B]. It turned out that they had more time on their hands than me so I had to quit the scene and return much later.

Cheers homerjay73, thanks for this, the last "must do cache day" of the year for me.

Hitting a few of Homerj's and 80 degrees caches today...

A quick drive by and a cleverly placed hide - very natural in it's placement. Took some time to get to the hide muggles were an issue.

Thx again HJ - top hide.
 
24-Dec-11
Surprisling we had a free afternoon and had decided to put ourselves to an 80 degrees challenge. This was on our way by and no way could we not give it a go. Nice easy find. Still working on the name.
Thanks for the cache homerjay73

24/12/2011 17:20 Saw it as I drove up and parked. Didn't even need the GPS. Having more than 30 HJ's under my belt this one was truly a drive-by. As HJ admitted this was one I had seen before. Smile TFTC homerjay73 TNLN SL

*FTF* I was on my way to Cobram for the week when as I drove past only 500 meters away from the cache my phone told me of a newly published cache. I could not believe how close I was to it since I was over 40km from home. I got of the ring road and a few turns later I arrived at the cache. Found it in the first place I looked and then headed back to the car to keep on with my driving. The timing of this cache could of not been better to nab a quick FTF as I drove past. TFTC. PS time in log book was taken from a watch a few minutes ahead.

I saw this one get published this morning, and although I knew I wouldn't get there for a FTF (definitely not as it turned out to be a lot further away than I had thought) I decided to go for this fresh cache anyway. Arrived at GZ and parked right nearby discovering it wasn't quite what I had expected! Not to worry, I walked over for a look see and spotted something that "fitted" - sure enough it opened and a logbook was revealed and duly signed and replaced (with a little difficulty - its a tight fit) Camouflage replaced - again with a little effort to close it properly - and off I went to tackle some more for the day. TFTC

**2TF** Busy with Christmas preparations so missed the email ping by a few minutes - that was enough to miss the FTF - C&H was there 5 minutes ahead of us - oh well. Having done all homerjay caches this was quickly spotted and log signed then back to the preparations.
 
23-Dec-11
Couldn't drive past this new hj cache without having a quick look. Glad we did, easy find, "this time" still working on some of the other homerj caches in the area. Busy spot, you just gotta be a bit stealthy I spose. Thanks.
