MIA, no idea how this one went, maybe a disgruntled cacher who lives close by and got annoyed by me coming back a number of times to verify it was still there.
Not sure if I will replace, it was one of my best as well -;(

After seeing some camo-jobs at the MEGA-event, we just had to go back ... but nope... still couldn't find it.
After getting back to the event-site, we talked to the CO who explained exactly where it was when he last checked on it.. and now having a very narrow location, we went back after the flashlight event later today and picked up all the items at that location and checked all of them thouroughly.. either it's a _really_ good camo, or someone muggled it (.. or simply just moved it far far away (10 meters or so ).. we're giving up for now.. 3 visits in total.
Gave up at 13:20 - together with aedk and Difool

After the event we went geocaching. This one look the closest and an added bonus was that i was hidden by G-2 a whom's geochaches we were told to take notice of.
We lok and look but couldn't spot the cache, There were some confusion among us as there were 10m between GZ and te place were to hint pointed to.

We thought we'd make an easy find here, but no... searched for quite a bit, but no.. found one thing close to where the GPSrs wanted us to be, but no.. searched where the hint indicated (10 meters off?), but still no.. it has to be there.. it probably is.. we just can't find it. It boggles the mind

Nah... not up to it. If it's in your face, I obviously had it turned the wrong way. Couldn't find it, and there were only a couple of casual walkers so I had (I thought) a good hunt in regards to the clue/s.

Didn't find this one tonight, must be really sneaky. Was dark and no muggles about tonight so we had lots of time but still came away empty handed.
came here with my mum, SethRaven, tonight. No muggles around so we had some time to search . . .which we did, hunted and hunted but had to leave empty handed.
Unlucky today and could not find it, sure we were in the right place...or very well camouflaged!
Couldn't find this one!! I think I was looking in the right place but might not have been however may need checking

Had called by this one earlier when passing through but as there was a fun run starting shortly and they had a race marshall at this point, we couldn't search. Returned a little later in the day and the coast was clearer - although it appeared there was some surf life saving training going on nearby. Cache quickly located, thankfully, finally KTBO. Who knew Barney could be so fickle! TFTC

This appears to be our new Black Rock Pumping Station - the damn cache keeps disappearing before we get to it!
Continuing on with my walk along the beach brought me to the gz where I soon noticed something that didn't look quite right. Nice cammo and a great location. TFTC
Made the find this time, and took us not more than 30 seconds. Excellent camo! Great job on the cache! TFTC
LOL, that would explain our DNF on this one..........
Looking at the corrected coords now, we did have a brief poke around there but not being sure we obviously didn't look well enough!!

Eventually found after much searching, had a few new cachers with us, they were intrigued at the camo, well done, tftc

Pretty sure we looked at the right place. No cache to be found. Glyn, could you make sure the cache is still there?
The GPS was a little off today, however a process of elimination and perserverance paid off. Great camo. TFTC
picked up the right one first try, No one around in the rain. so also very little view.
I was out and about locally. Time to sign off those near-to-home ones.
Another great camo job. Had to be sneaky here as there was a muggle sitting on the seat opposite.
Cheers for the cache.

4.25pm. Took a visiting friend, Mike, out to illustrate geocaching in the field. He enjoyed the search despite my needing to suggest a second look! Clever camo and cache name!

Cool cache! had to really lever to the the lid of the thing though! Seemed to have crusted over. Thanks
Great night out.... chilly now, but this one was handy. Took a friend along. She liked the humour in the name. Cheers. This is MY beach.
Lots of muggles around but that's why you have Junior Pastamakers who quickly distinguished the cache from Fred and Wilma despite the excellent camo.

It's been a few months since we have been caching and just realised we never logged this one.

We were both scratching around at the GZ when I noticed something a bit different, and sure enough another amazing bit of camo from the master. TFTC.
Gotta soft spot for the ole flintstones, they don't make shows like that anymore. Nice and quiet here today, super camo. Enjoyed the beach and biggish waves today. SL. TFTC.
8956 Decided to take Dino for a walk to visit Murray, as expected, located him with Fred and Wilma. Spotted da Rubble at GZ and there was Pebbles, all over the beach. A nice spot to meet the Flintstones. Yabba Dabba Doo... Thanks for da cool camo'ed cache.
Great set of cammo, had to look twice before realising what I was looking at, Nice little spot you found here, TFTC
Nice place for a rest on my morning run. Logged visit on glorious morning. TFTC
Quick find, but the cache got its revenge and drew blood. Surprisingly quiet here today.

Love these sorts of caches. Nice viewsfrom GZ, in plain sight but excellent camo. TFTC
Quick find - much easier than the origianal cache here, which I found in the seaweed on the sand . Hardest part was getting into the cache , luckily I had a tool with me. TFTC - TB
Another night-time visit to the beach. It is an excellent time to find some of these more muggle-intensive caches. Spotted the camo by torchlight, but did not recognise it until we had another read of the hint. Nicely done, thanks.

This was the first of 2 caches that were published this morning. It was only when the 2nd notification came out thar we decided we needed to go and have a look. We were about to hit the road when we were invited to joint FMZ for the hunt. Not long after arriving at GZ we noticed somnething a little different. Quick find but excellent camo. Joint FTF with FMZ. TFTC.
This one woke me up - well, was half awake anyway - so figured since it's nice and early it would be a good excuse to get out for a bit of a walk. Then on the way some other caches popped up so rang rosmar to see if they would like to go find them together - turned out only 2 of the new caches were on the North Shore, so we headed off to find them. This one was first. Very nice camo, and we were onto it straight away - quickly found, signed the blank log sheet for a joint FTF, and then off to the next one. FTF #1020 TFTC!!!
Almost 2 hour after being published and still not logged so loaded up the kids and headed on down. Quickly located the cache but no FTF today well done fmz and rosmar. Great camo as usual glyn almost missed it !! TFTC
