Happy today as I got prodded along by Short Circuits who helped me enough to turn the grumpy into a smiley. Certainly a very well hidden cache. I have had many looks as I've been launching my boat there over the last week or so and got very frustrated over not finding it. Thanks earthly65 for this well hidden cache. Will give it a fav point for my frustration in finding it.
 
17-Nov-21
Poked around scratched around looked every where but still came up empty handed. So frustrating to have to log a DNF. Maybe next time.

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

22-Sep-17
"Cache is well hidden" - far too well hidden for the young geo cachers; long walk without a reward Sad
 
07-May-17
DNF for us here. Looked around all areas we thought it might be but no prize today.
 
08-Mar-17
There were many a place it could have been,
But none of them it was .... Sad
 
11-Feb-17
Hmmmm...does one dnf really deserve a "needs maintenance log"....cache in place
 
21-Dec-16
No luck today here for me.TFTC.
 
14-Nov-16
TFTC, apon seeing the cache was recently found, I went back for another look. Expanded my search area, used a stick to scrape around and actually found the cache 1 metre from where I parked.
 
02-Nov-16
Wow that took a while and in the end we where looking in the wrong spot for a very long time and a quick change of location came up trumps. TFTC
 
19-Oct-16
Had another look today for no luck, I think it may be gone.
 
13-Oct-16
Searched GZ and within 15 metre radius for 20 minutes for no find.
 
12-Oct-16
Can the C.O confirm this cache is still here for my sanity, also a hint would be good.
 
06-Oct-16

30-Apr-16
Found it, pretty easy
 
25-Apr-16
Nice and peaceful area, we even saw a pelican out on the water. With the rain about today there weren't many muggles about, so it made it easier for use to have a look for the cache.

No phone reception here, but amazingly we found it without technology. Sometimes we get lucky Smile
 
15-Apr-16
A few muggle anglers. After they left muggle husband and I had place to ourselves.
Foraged ever rock and tree base plus more and just could not uncover it spent about 30 minutes.
Look in obvious and not so obvious places.
Perhaps next trip.
 
17-Jan-16
We were between a rock and a muggle here!

Previous logs made the find easier and faster to avoid those muggles eyes.

TFTC SL TNLN
 
17-Jan-16
Took a little foraging and patience in between anglers, but got there in the end.
 
16-Jan-16
Well, this was fun. Trying to locate with the geokids while not being seen by the ample amount of muggles was a challenge in itself. Waited it out till the coast was clear and then we got stuck into it. After a little bit of scrummaging, we found what we were after and were on our way. TFTC.

Tnln. Nice spot, few trinkets inside but no geocoin
 
25-Nov-15
