I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore the cache or communication from the cache owner Keego_and_Chil requesting additional time, within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

Found the box however it looks like the log host might possibly have been updated, will hopefully be able to turn this frown upside down in the near future

Found the box but according to son who found before pieces are missing will send to maintenance

One of our more favourite finds! Also found this years ago but restarting. Thanks so much!

Very clever cache this one! Found container after a bit of searching and then finally found the log book to sign! TFTC
 
24-Dec-16
Had a DNF here earlier this year and I was at the Old Man's again this morning so thought I would come and have another crack.

Found the container quick like last time and began a search for the log. Ended up making it much harder than it needed to be, read back on some logs and had an idea. Light bulb moment indeed!

Keego_and_Chil I found your cache at 9:17am, this was the 1st of 4 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3697. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Found part 1 but couldn't work out how to use it to find part 2
 
13-Nov-16
Got home after recording it as a DNF and had a bit more of a think about it. I thought I figured it out so I returned to check, but I was wrong. Had another look around and then suddenly it clicked and I found the log. Good hide Smile
 
09-Sep-16
Very glad I happened upon this cache as the cache to find as I was in the area. Couldn't get to the last two I tried because of muggles! Wasn't expecting that. What a bit of fun haha. TFTC!

Found AP 065 - Secret Squirrel with the assistance of OzMom. This is truly one son of the gun cache Smile. TNLN SL TFTH Keego_and_Chil.
 
06-Aug-16
That was a thing of beauty. I was clever enough to find the log using only a couple of the provided tools. Great 2 part hunt!
 
31-Jul-16
Tried to solve this one when we first started geocaching-had no idea what to do.....many caches found and back to have another go. Bit wiser today, very clever cache and a fav from us. TFTC
 
30-Jul-16
This had us stumped for a little while but we phoned a friend and got a hint thanks for the great cache and we can now claim the souvenir for this weekend!
 
30-Jul-16
After a short search we found it, but then we were stumped!! What a clever cache this is!!! Very appreciated!
 
30-Jul-16
We out to find a cache with more than 10 fav points to earn a souvenir. Found the cache fairly quickly considering our GPS was jumping around a bit. Wandered around for a while trying to find the log...then had a thought and found it! Thanks for the cache. Will give a fav point for the challenge

An easy find but then, yes, where was the logbook? We have been around long enough to find it very quickly but newer cachers may struggle.

**Date: 5 June 2016
Time: 2:57 pm
Find #7656**

Day fifteen of my across the Nullarbor, then to Perth via Denmark trip. First things first, a flash mob, followed by a convoy up the road with sharkiefan, Mica Paramedic, Alansee and Mr and Mrs Earthbound. We started off with no real plan, then we found the first valoforce cache and from then on, it became "Team ValoForce day" Oh yeah, some quality caches to be found, Awesome day.

Gotta love a secret squirrel Big Grin

Out Armadale way this arvo seeing the Old Man and had enough time to scout a couple of caches.

Only had a short time to search here, found the cache easy enough but a quick scan of the surrounding area didn't reveal the log book. I'll be back when I have more time for sure.

Keego_and_Chil I couldn't find your cache, this was my 1st DNF for the day. I did have 1 finds today so all is not lost.

This was yet another cache with a difference on a most enjoyable day's caching outing. Yes, found the cache very quickly and then sat and puzzled over the included tools and instructions. No idea. My first thought was there must be a drain nearby, but there wasn't. Hmmm. Sat and pondered some more. Very thoughtful of the CO to place this in such a comfortable seating spot.
But all good things come to those who wait, and finally the log book was signed and replaced.
Thanks for another fun hide Keego and Chil.

Weather too good to not cache and spotted this one near by. Parked up and enjoyed the location and the crazy happy birthday singing across the road. Then bumped into a local who posed for a photo before I got to searching. Stumbled across the cache and to be honest the log book as well fantastic hide TFTC

A successful day caching with S'n'N to tackle more of the Wandoo series. Couldn't resist finding some caches as we headed back to Bunbury. Found the cache easily enough, the log has us stumped until S'n'N found it Smile
 
27-Jun-15
had mikirst and myself quite baffled there for a while , then i noticed what i was looking for was right in front of me all along. Simple but tricky!! i liked it. TFTC
 
26-Jun-15
This. Is. AWESOME. Hunted and hunted and then all the sudden stood up and my brain went BAM! Sure enough. Success!
Really clever cache guys - def favorite point from us Smile
Thanks for a great hide.
 
08-May-15
After a nearby appointment, saw this one and thought, wow that looks interesting and heading off for No.1 of the day, found GZ quickly and startled a few Roo's, then didn't take me long to think outside of the box and had the log in my hand. The log was full, so messaged the CO, and was in the area the following day, replaced the log!

Thanks for a good clever one!

Geohubby was grumbling a bit as we were supposed to be going home, we are, eventually! But he was pleased we stopped for this one. He was off to the steps with some of the tools determined to undo goodness knows what. When suddenly I had a light bulb moment, found the log & signed it. Very clever. TFTC
 
30-Apr-15
Took us a while but we finally found this. What a great caches. Stopped by to get this on way home so we could get our daily cache. Found the container quite quick but then spent another 15 minutes looking for the log. About to give up when it started to rain but then finally found it.

Favourite point for this one.

Tftc.

A big day had been in the planning fr sometime with Spatialriq and today it had finally arrived.
The goal was to complete the Wandoo series in a single day. An early start was arranged and we found our first cache at 6.01am. The last, the Bonus box. at 5.01pm Exactly 11 hours later.
A great day on the road and great company. All caches were found fairly quickly with spot on co-ords with the exception of one DNF.
On the way home, I decided to grab "just one more cache !!!"

This was cache number 132 out of 132 for today. Also our total find number 3009
Thanks Keego_and_Chil for this hide. Big Grin
 
20-Feb-15
I was out and about on an early morning caching run and this one was on the list.

A nicely hidden container here and I did not have too much trouble adding my name to the log Big Grin. The log is full and needs replacing Smile

Keego_and_Chil - jinta29 found your cache AP 065 - Secret Squirrel on 20/02/2015 5:56 am. This is my find #2901 and find #2 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!
 
05-Feb-15
TFTC! Have had this cache on the radar for quite some time given the large number of favourite points.

Today I came by to claim the smiley. Was a really well constructed cache. Thanks

The log is choc-a-block, we signed over an entry in April 2013. Thanks K & C for the instalment. Have a fav

thanks for the good hide TFTH
 
07-Jan-15
I was out in Armadale today and I needed to grab at least one cache to get another day filled in on my calendar. So I headed to this one. I was expecting a nano on the nearby structure, but both my phone and my GPS were leading me elsewhere. Once I had the container, the log was found rather easily, however it took a fair while to get the log out, as it has a few names written on it now. Log signed and returned, TFTC Keego_and_Chil
 
20-Dec-14
GPS was all over the place this morning but eventually had the cache in hand and signed the log without any real issue (log.is now full) TFTC

We were headed out for some night caching with my family (jasenjanine), Kyzabra & jinta29 & we stopped to find some caches on the way... This was one we found before our big adventure Big Grin Thanks Keego_and_Chil!
 
10-Oct-14
Headed out to these parts for a long awaited night caching expedition with Kyzabra... Of course we had time for a couple of caches on the way & this was one of them Smile After a bit of a rummage around, Jase soon had the container to hand... Then without even a blink of an eyelid, we were opening the log book Wink We must know a little about this secret squirrel business... But don't worry, your secret is safe with us Cool

TFTC AP & Keego_and_Chil [^] The kids enjoyed this one, especially as it is a topic of interest at the moment! Cache was in good condition.
 
Found this cache today. Second attempt for us. TNLN. THANKS FOR THE CACHE.
 
09-Aug-14
Manage to get a quick find here with the sun nearly down...TFTC
 
02-Aug-14
Ok so second day having a look round and we finally found it. It took 3 kids and a police officer to help. We nearly gave up on finding the cache but so impressed when we found it. The police officer was really quick to find the log with the clues that were given. Absolutely my favorite find yet.
 
01-Aug-14
Thought I would pop out while the kids are in school and sneak in a geocach rather than gorging on chocolate. I had no luck with either the cachr or the log. ..looks like I will be coming back with the kids after all. Smile
 
18-Apr-14
Great hide. Made us laugh when we found it. Only about 4 spots left on the log.
 
07-Mar-14
Well we are on holiday, visiting with our lovely relatives from Perth, Schengendaze01, and thought we should get a bit of geocaching in before we go home. I absolutely love this cache, had us stumped for a while but we got there in the end. I didn't have the luxury of popping back from the UK so needed to bag this smiley! Thanks for a great cache and have a favourite from me Smile
 
15-Feb-14
We stopped by this one on the way home and had a quick look the cache was soon in hand, but then for the log? We had a think about it and has it was getting dark we decided to come back after a think about it. I had an idea on the way home and wanted to go back and look but we had to wait until the weekend and i was right thanks Keego and Chil for a great hide. A favorite from us.
 
26-Dec-13
Took me a little while to find the log, but then it finally clicked. Well done K&C
 
09-Oct-13
Found the cache reasonably easily, looked in the cache and thought, where could it be? Took a while but while kellydrinkstea had her mind set on one possibility, I had a lightbulb moment without even realising and quickly had the log in hand for us to sign! Very clever and impressive, made my day! Haha
Thankyou for the cache guys, well done! Very Happy
 
09-Oct-13
10.30 pm and mudbuzzie and I realised we had not found a geo for today.... Well! I sure am glad I went with mudbuzzie as she found it! But I was more than happy to sign such a clever log. Thanks Smile
 
05-Oct-13
We've been meaning to do this one for ages as it's just around the corner but there's always been some reason we haven't been able to: on our way out and no time, too many muggles on the veranda over the road for a party, etc. we had a quick find today and the light bulb went on for the log's hidey hole. TFTC
 
11-Sep-13
After school caching is the go of late just plodding along and seeing how long we can keep the caching streak we started with the 31 days of caching for Aug 2013.

We arrived as the dark clouds loomed above without any prior checking of the cache or its type.. Once at the GZ I decided to have a quick read of what we were after as the kids found an old boot and a cockroach [:p] But what do you know the cache was literary underfoot.

We cracked it open but alas withing seconds of opening the cache the heavens opened up, so we closed it all back up and ran (carefully up the wet slippery stairs) back to the car, It kept coming and getting darker and darker...

I nipped around the corner to a petrol station and filled up, when we hit the road again there was a break in the clouds so we drove back and quickly (carefully down the wet slippery stairs) got back to the GZ and went through Secret Squirrels gadgets trying to match up the correct one with the obvious hiding spot nearby.. After about 5 minutes I straightened my back... It was then I had a bit of a DING !! moment right out of the blue..

No room for the TB we currently hold, so dipped until we find a spot.

Nice one Keego & Chil
A fav point from us, the kids loved it.

Worth reading the clue for a vital hint.
Very true. We didn't have to go far to get the final part of the cache.......that made us laugh.
In hindsight.

found it but theres currently no log within.

Log is there, tricky this one is, look you must, read description and size you must....

[:(!] Went for an afternoon of caching with the geowife (needed an extra pair of eyes) and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand after several minutes of frustrating searching, this was our second visit in as many weeks.

Decided to venture to this area to grab some caches and enjoy the sunshine and views on the magnificent winters day,.


I tried this cache earlieer in the day, even with a phone call to the CO I could not find the cache. Returned in the afternoon, with the CO, and after a bit a of a search, we found the container.

I then sat and looked for the log. Fanastic hid of the log in the cache, favorite point friom me for this most memorable log hunt.


Cool [:o)]



Razz Thanks for the cache Keego and Chil . [^]


This is my find number 2429 Big Grin

Getting to the area was no problem but getting out of the car with Jazl she decided the steps were too much for her so a trip back to the car. Started down the steps and I heard the sound of a rubbish truck. Did I park in the way of a bin, yes. Back up the stairs move car say hello to Jazl and set off again. Only had taken android phone with me and it decided GZ was all over the place. Back up the steps to get GPS hello Jazl.
Located cache quickly with gps and surveyed the signs of searching.
Reread description but no log so I had another quick search close by, I soon found the log. I think Keego has been spending too much time with the Allied Prankster's Captain.

Thanks for the cache.

Shouldn't have read past logs on this cache. Was sure the cache must be hidden slightly off coordinate; there are plenty of rocks, trees and shrubs under which it could've been hidden. Had no problems locating the log after getting help to find the cache; Mickeydv and I had been scheming the same cache type last night after he "won" the same prize in the Wandoo Bonus Box! Big Grin Thanks for the cache Keego and Chil.
 
06-Jan-13
Dont know why I struggled with finding this one....resorted to phoning CO and he pointed me in right direction, and what do you know, right on coords...once found we had no problem with log as we had seen something similiar NOR....nicely done...thanks again Keego_and_Chil
 
03-Dec-12
After completing the rock climbing cache down the road and around the corner, I headed in to grab a couple of caches. Unfortunately it was only a couple as I received a phone call and had to head home earlier than expected

Before I did that though I had a look and saw this cache. After reading the description, I just had to have a go at it. Arrival saw me scratching around for a while. Past logs leant a hint, but not for finding the cache!!

In desperation I rang for help as the GPSr did not want to settle on any ground zero. After some small clarification as to where i needed to be looking, I eventually found the cache. Some 6m, no 2m, no 8m, no 3m - you get the idea as to how my GPSr was bouncing yet?

So I read the instructions, or so I thought. Something didn't seem right. So I rang for help again, just to clarify something. As I was talking to the cache owner, he said something that made me look and then I directed some words that can't be written at him, even though I was on speaker phone and some other people got a laugh!

Thankyou for the cache Allied Pranksters, very well done and much appreciated

Cheers Cool

Went to check on Secret Squirrel, as reports that he was missing in action. I can report that he is there and how it should be although a little in the open. It looks like it may have been a little case of counter espionage . Please hide the cache well when you are finished....

Found the cache, but the log book remains a secret - for the time being.
 
07-Nov-12
I found the cache (as have some others), but after a 15 minute search did not find the log. Perhaps the cache owner could check that the log is in place and place a note in the list. I'll keep a watch on this cache for this and search for it to sign.

This is Morroco Mole contacting Secret Squirrel come in Secret!! We have reason to believe that the said code name 'cache' may have succumbed to enemy captivity!! We did an extensive survellience and were unable to locate the hideout and target, Atom Ant and his crew were also out in force but we were unable to communicate our mission with him.
We await further instructions on whether to try and locate the hide out again. Signing out Morroco Mole (AKA CassidyFamily)

Came for a quick find and were 5 min into our search when nearby muggle child called out and disturbed our search. Hopefully be back soon. Pity there is so much litter here!

After working around the house on the public holiday what better a reward than a few caches. As per hte description the cache did not take long to find, nor did the log! Really enjoyed the twist on this traditional concept. Bravo! TFTC.
 
30-Sep-12
Pretty interesting idea here! Came out to show some smuggle friends what geocaching is about, and they found it. Then the log was the fun part. Haven't seen this done before. Tftc!!!!
 
25-Aug-12
I found it, and then found the log. Interesting assortment of contents to sort through. Can't say anything more, coz it's a secret. Thanks Keego and Chil
 
15-Aug-12
Found the log before I started looking for it. I wonder what that says about me?
 
12-Aug-12
On rainy day with jumpy GPS thought we were in for all kinds of trouble but widening the search proved it as the right decision. Now to find the log , I thought I had an idea but it still took a few mins to find. You sneaky squirrel. Well done. TFTH Keego and Chil
