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 Wink).. 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.

Failed to find with together with renelm and aedk.

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 Smile

Gave up at 18:47 - together with aedk and Difool

All good, will up diff, damn its good!

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. Sad Was dark and no muggles about tonight so we had lots of time but still came away empty handed.
 
09-Jun-13
Sad 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.
 
03-Jun-13
Searched for ages!! Didn't get it even with updated clue must be very sneaky!
 
03-Jun-13
All good, hint says it all
 
26-May-13
Had a good search but couldn't locate the cache.
 
16-Apr-13
All ok, have updated hint, in plain site
 
03-Apr-13
Sad Didn't find this one today in the rain so we called it a day.
 
01-Apr-13
Unlucky today and could not find it, sure we were in the right place...or very well camouflaged!
 
21-Mar-13
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!
 
13-Oct-12
Def gone, will replace
 
11-Oct-12
Spent quite a while searching the area without any luck.
 
28-Sep-12
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
 
24-Sep-12
Made the find this time, and took us not more than 30 seconds. Excellent camo! Great job on the cache! TFTC
 
16-Sep-12
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!!
 
16-Sep-12
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?
 
04-Sep-12
Epic fail Sad Can't see where else it could be...
 
26-Aug-12
The GPS was a little off today, however a process of elimination and perserverance paid off. Great camo. TFTC
 
31-Jul-12
picked up the right one first try, No one around in the rain. so also very little view.
 
19-Jul-12
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!

Nice spot, nicely done cache

Nice camo!
 
14-Apr-12
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.

Found this a while ago, guess we forgot to log it!

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. Big Grin

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
 
17-Feb-12
Quick find - much easier than the origianal cache here, which I found in the seaweed on the sand Wink. Hardest part was getting into the cache Razz, luckily I had a tool with me. TFTC - TB

Fairly easy find. Very nice camo. TFTF.
 
13-Feb-12
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. Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin TFTC.

Quick find this morning.

Put in a Mirco Travel Bug.

Thanks for the hunt.

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 Big Grin TFTC!!! Big Grin
