TFTC this one is still here despite being archived. I signed the log and replaced it as found.
Thankfully didn't find any wasps and had the cache quickly however I did come away with very wet and dirty shoes. TFTC
Hunting for some archived caches today, second try and second find 
With a good hint I was quite sure where to look and dove straight in.
The ants at the last cache did not get me but here I was attacked by bees, got stung on the arm, a finger and in my left eyebrow before I realised that it was not the usual green ants attacking me.
While being stung I had spotted something that looked like a cache, give up? Not me! Just moved in slowly and grabbed the container without attraction the attention of the cache guardians.
The container and contents was a fantastic condition. Better than some after the first rain and this one has been sitting here more than 2 years and 8 months since last find!
Signed and replaced without disturbing the angry lot.
Thanks

As a cache hider I am sick of negative comments. I am strictly only going to find for the foreseeable future. It's such a shame as my kids enjoy placing caches and reading the positive comments.
Another day caching in Townsville, before we start our journey west.
A nice park in a new suburb.
Hope to come back and finish the area at a later date.
Thanks for the hunt today, AT502.

I was lucky having no visible muggles. But I had to use the hint.
TNLN. Thanks for the hide.

After a very early start to the day attending the Dawn Service on the Strand we decided to grab a few caches before lunch.
A quick find to geoP.

Older geo ferret spotted this one. Both ferrets did a swap, the best part for them. TFTC
Took two goes but with perseverance we got it! Watch out for wet feet.

No muggles visible - check. No barking dogs - check. We set about our hunt and soon resorted to the hint. It still took a bit of to-ing and fro-ing before the cache appeared. It blended in very well we think 
. Thanks AT502
. Thanks AT502Second visit for this one,
There's been some tidying up - a quick grab. TFTC

Greetings from Oregon! Out for a sight-seeing drive with our Townsville friends. Took a few, but managed to make the find and leave a Geocoin. T4T 
This was our 3rd cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 09:58.
(So this is our 4788th total find.)
TOPFound quickly and log signed without incident.

Using the road direction in the smartphone from the app led me to believe this was a 10 minute drive from Needle in a Haystack! Using commonsense I was there in less than one!
Nice and quiet today although I hope no one was watching. I went back and forth until I finally found it in an unexpected spot. Signed and replaced. Makka who?
Thanks!

No muggles out and about and seemed like everyone who lives nearby were out so nice and quiet when I got to GZ. TN left small eraser. TFTC.
Found after a total meltdown and asking SK and C2m for a hint. I was running low on battery, energy and patience as I turned this place inside put and upside down looking for it.
I really was missing Psilonette and her skillful search methods and division of searching at this point. After imagining some very unlikely hides I even got INTO the bridge to look, which was in fact very cool albeit damp and a little smelly... I think my heat addled brain was just looking for anywhere with shade by then.
After looking like a crazy person for a little, perhaps much, too long - a very nicely written hint came back from SK and I happily only had to use some of it to find it. I signed off and was very, very glad to be moving again.
Good thing I hedged my bet as C2m's hint came through as I got home. I'm still very thankful though as I would have waited it out indefinitely here until I found it.
Thanks for the help everyone and thanks to AT for the great cache with stumped me

After finding Light it up we didn't know about this cache just being published at the chase so we gave Skoby a lift to the new GZ and Champs was already there. We decided to do a three way FTF but Skoby found it first surprise surprise. Great to meet you Champs and Skoby no doubt will see you of future hunts 
geodad jumped into the smooth geo-wheels of cat and bear and headed to makka pakkas house. mrs SK who was monitoring gz sent the word.... champs is here!!! when we arrived the AT502 hide was still concealed so a shared search was in play. soon enough the cache was out of its spot and we could sl. pretty fitting really that this particular cache was an AT502 and shared with cat and bear cos they were the reason we started chasing the coveted first place and lately champs has been a great player to invigorate the race.
FTF 100 thanks for all the fish.
FTF 100 thanks for all the fish.# 172 First on site despite trying a few things with the new ACME Cypher before leaving. Was not long before Summer'skoby and Cat & Bear arrived on the scene. As we all searched, we discussed if we were going to share the FTF. Good thing too, because SK made the find only a few seconds later.
Congrats to SK's 100th FTF (makes our 13 look a little sad) and happy we could share the moment.
G'day to Cat and Bear and the CO, AT502 who showed up for a chat shortly after the find.
