Trying is the first step towards failure. Eltham, Victoria, Australia
By homerjay73 on 23-Dec-11. Waypoint GC39HH7

it's my first day

Quick find, good container idea! nothing to swap

Finding a car park, then what direction to walk, was more trying than finding the cache. What a cache ! Fantastic, thanks homerjay73

2nd cache for the night! First time we've found a cache with a good creative container! Good job!

21/9/12 fourth geocache getting some under the belt

Had the place to myself-who else would be silly enough to be out this late, or is it this early? Had plenty of time for a good look around and soon spotted something.......very clever! Thanks for the effort and thought you put into your caches.

Second visitor in one day, this cache is popular all of a sudden... The GPSr was a bit sketchy so I had to have a good look around. Saw something of interest and nearly gave up on it until I worked it out. With 2 missing TBs logged here, I suppose I am taking a bit of a chance at leaving mine here but then again you have to start somewhere and ... Trying is the first step towards failure (and success...).

Love it! Had a prob opening it but realized how. Thanks.

Set off after work today to do some caching and this was the first of two for the evening. Took a while of driving around to find a parking spot with reasonably close access to the cache. A scan of the area uncovered what I suspected was the cache but being unsure I continued to search. Eventually I came back and sure enough it was the cache. No problems with muggles or security this evening. Thanks homerjay73 clever construction. GJMMelb

20:50

King and King with geoprince. We were still sitting around the dinner table talking, Geoprince was being good when I noticed the publish of a cache not too far from this one. Needing to get out of changing a nappy and putting a little boy to bed, I suggested to geoprince that he rings King Sr to attempt a F2F - the suggestion got dirt looks across the table but the damage was done - 20min later King Sr arrived and off we went.

After completing an STF we looked about for another near by cache and off we came here. After a quick look we found this very nice cache - although it nearly fell appart in our hands we were able to put it back - a very nice cache and our thanks again to Homerjay

Got abused by a muggle that works next door for being on "private property" most unenjoyable cache so far

We couldn't quite figure out where to go based on our GPS, if we'd looked at some Google Maps we would have pulled into the right place. After a short walk around, Louise had picked up the cache. Cool stuff as usual Homer.

Competing in the GeoSpotZ means I am getting out and getting some caches a bit more often than usual. Today I invited Danozz to come along with me, as caching with two is more fun than by yourself. After my list was completed we collected random caches we found along the way.
With a very negative name, I was completely unsure what to expect from this cache. We were very unsure where to start our search, but ended up in the right place in the end. When I first say the cache, I didn't think I had the right thing, then I noticed a tiny give away. This cache is great and really well made, a well earned favorite point from me
Thanks for the cache homerjay73, its great, even if I don't like the name!!

We found this one fairly quickly but didn't realise it. After scouring the bushes over and over we stood back and realised we'd found it. Good one. Tftc

Yes we have been here before!!! Found with ee after a little bit of a search & never seen a cache like this before!! Took a little while to work out how to open it. Unfortunately the listed TB's are not in the cache!! What is it with people not logging TB's properly!!!

TNLNSL TFTC

Had no luck finding the precursor but I enjoyed the challenge tonight.

Came by after finding a cache at a nearby bridge. I have to admire your audacity in placing this cache homerjay. What it lacks in ambience it makes up for with its unique twist. TFTC.

I think we found it, we were trying to open the lid of it (?) when we were approached by a shop person from next door asking were we lost and what were we doing and that they could see us on the shop security cameras. I explained and they knew nothing about geocaching, so we had no choice but to leave

B1 & B2 took annual leave to try Geo-Caching. After noodling around McDonald's for awhile trying to get our GPS right B2 discovered this cache, our first, in we hope, a long line of many. We were amazed at the ingenuity by the creator of this cache. We left with smiles on our faces and the feeling we were in a James Bond film, but in reality we were more like goofy banana heads. Thanks homerjay73.

Found it with -Coen and cooney17 on our Sunday night sesh. Tftc

Found with Cooney17 and dov1le on our Sunday stroll. TFTC

Found with -Coen. Clever hide on a nice sunday night. Tftc

Very cool cache. Most surprising. Found in the dark at 8.30pm. Great job. TFTC.

Not another feel look search in the garden cache! Glad it was,nt !TFTC Great hide ?

A grey saturday afternoon was useful for no one was about. Ignored it the first time, checked the logs, then found it. TFTC

Back again, had to have another go after we enjoyed the first one so much. After one attempt looking for this one (pretty sure I spotted it the first time but took no notice of it!) we returned on a rainy Sunday and soon had the impressive container in hand. Love it! Took the kiwi travel bug. TFTC

Found @ 10.55 pm

Find no 10 of 22 on a night cache run with stemicmitsar
Loved the hide and a good time of night to grab it

Thanks homerjay73 for this cache

Found @ 10:55pm, find # 1432.
Out on a night caching run with waffle eggs, this was the eighth for me for the night.
Once we were at GZ we started our search and after a short time a different sort of container was found which we weren't sure of at first if what we found was what we were looking for but it certainly was.
Thanks to homerjay73 for this cache and a great hide.

This was last of this morning's bunch of finds on this cold, wet and miserable Anzac Day. It was the 3rd time I'd been here for caching purposes and I figured that a combination of the weather and the day would keep the muggles at bay. Sure enough, I was able to park right next to GZ and soon had the stash in hand at 12:15 for a one in three success rate [8)].

TNLNSL. Thanks homerjay73.

PS: There was no sign of the Hamish the Highland Cow TB in the cache.

Thanks for restoring this one, it had been driving us crazy!
3rd trip on a nice Sunday afternoon meant of course we looking for something that wasn't there before.
TFTC.

FOUND IT ABOUT 20MTRS AWAY.
FIXED IT AND MADE IT NICE

I WILL CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS IN FACT THERE!!
PLEASE BE WAITNING

Darn! Got sunburnt looking around for this!
Now there was an excellent container nearby that would not open.
It's the kind of thing people have been seriously burned by trying to open, so I'm hoping it's a red herring.

If that was the cache, great idea but I'm not trying any harder to prise it open!

Made an extensive search in the area, no luck though. There was no one around on this sunday afternoon, then a muggle came by and asked what are we doing there so we had to abandon the search. Didn't enjoy it but probably there's just something we missed.

With an April disabling, realised that I had not yet logged as found and signed log. Nice hide Homey. tftn tnln.

Only one visit needed to nail this one unlike the one that used to be nearby. I took a glasses holder and left a pretty little NZ paua shell. Thanks homerjay73.

21/02/12 11:59 AM Find #109
A nice quick find. Tftc.

On the way home from babysitting and stopped to look for this one. It was the best time as everything was quiet here.
Looked staight at it and dismissed it. Came back after doing the circlular navigation. This time I won. TFTC homerjay73

Found 15:15, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=2 thanks homerjay73.

Reasonably easy find but I'd hate to get caught putting this object up against the thing that it's against. Looks a bit sus!
Nice Cache, thanks.

Simple find. Tricky container. Used a lot of strength and it still wouldn't open. Checked out other things in the area, before cracking the clever cache. Thanks. Took i phone case left glasses holder. dropped off tb.

Indeed it is! Still I tried..... I actually failed to find the way into GZ and had to walk there, and on a very quiet day soon found the rather clever container. Many thanks homerjay73.

Tried and failed.this one has me beat! And I have a few homer jay caches under my belt! Thought I'd found a suspicious container, but alas empty...

Sunday evening is a good time for this one, with nobody around. It took me a little while to work out where I should be looking, but once I did it was a quick find. The container is impressive. Thanks for the chance to grab one today.

Out on my own today and thought I would beat the heat. I had been here before and thought that that hide was an excellent one.
Nice easy find, great container.
Took TB
Thanks homerjay73

Took us a little while to find it. We were somewhat confused by the previous cache. We expected this one to be a distance away. Took TB, left TB. TFTC

Found @ 13:00hrs.Took a bit longer to find than it should have for it's size.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.
This was an interesting hide and a nice sized cache that I could drop a rather large TB into that I had for a while. No muggles about at this time of night and after a good search, Marshy came up with the hide.
Thanks homerjay73 for another cool hide.

One of 26 on another legendary night caching run with my best mate and caching buddy Marty aka Quasar3671. Hmmmm, we seem to remember being here before, lol. Great hide before, and a great hide this time. Very original hide, and knowing your style, had it in hand in about 5 mins. Given a favorite for this one. TFTC.

The GF allowed me one indulgence for the day and while we were in the area I stopped on the driveway, a driveway I had been in before, and soon found the cache. All signed, and we were off. Thanks homerjay73.

Great Camo, found by Geowife after I overlooked it!!
Took TB
TFTC

Not sure why the original cache from this nearby location was archived, but I trust there is a good reason. Regardless the new container/cache as per usual is a good one! - I wouldnt expect any less from HJ.

Thx HJ - I'll have to make more time to smash a few more of your hides in the near future.

Dropped off Geocoin (BB9FTN)

After cleaning the pool and doing other odd jobs, we checked the latest caches. Oops missed another one so had to settle for a TTF at 8:30pm. A bit open ended this cache but exchanged a couple of TBs. TFTC

Found at 7.40pm **2TF** Saw this come up and decided to go for the run knowing if Landau was home there was no hope of an FTF. Spent a few minutes checking likely spots and came up with the lovely big container. Left 2 trackables to continue their journey. This is a drive-by favourite. Merry Christmas to all - TFTC Homerjay73

Published

24/12/2011 19:25 {*FTF*} The phone went ping and I looked up the cache details to see it was less than 2km from home!! Called to Michael that we had to scoot quickly to get it and we were soon in the car. Followed the GPS to a familiar location and got out. At this point we hadn't even read the listing so I didn't know that the other cache was now archived. Unusually it was me that spotted it first and Eagle-Eye made the grab. He checked it for a few moments till he saw the instructions for opening. Love the hide! Really good job. So easily overlooked unless your searching for a HJ cache! TFTC homerjay73 TNLN SL
