We have no idea what is going on with this one, so many DNF'S yet one supposedly found. Our second visit with a previous finder going to the exact spot and finding nothing there. This really needs to be checked by the CO to confirm its existence else it be archived.
No luck for me today.
To be honest I didn't spend long looking.
It might be there?

Going by earlier log, suspect this has been muggled or removed. Please check or archive if no longer there.
No napping here !!
Moments after I rolled to a stop and parked the bike, the 'alarm bells' went off and the boom gates came down
I forgot about finding the cache for a while.
For one thing, I had an audience now !!
And another was the the sight of a speeding goods train tearing around the amazingly sharp, superelevated corner was getting me full attention
Great trainspotting location [^]
Not so good for cachespotting for me today

Came searching with a previous finder but nothing here, wonder if it has been muggled considering the previous log
After a nice meal at the Port Anchor with JJ52 and locus cache we decided to get some of the local caches. As usual I was crammed in the back of Harry with Brodie, while JJ52 enjoyed the luxurious front seat.
As we arrived this one looked like it would be easy enough, but we couldn't find it in the first few places we looked. Eventually I made the find when I broadened the search .
None of us realised we were being watched though by a suspicious neighbour who was concerned that we were up to no good. When approached we came clean about what we were doing and he was happy with that. Gee, locus cache is so good at getting us out of trouble (turns out that was a good warm up for later in the night when the police paid us a visit! )
TFTC Schnail and Foxbane!

After a nice meal with Ismartis and locus cache in Port Adelaide we decided to go and grab a few caches before heading home.
Parked across the road and headed towards GZ and started looking in all the wrong places, then Ismartis went further afield and soon had cache in hand.
Log book was full so locus went and got a replacement and while she was doing that the neighbour who happened to be outside at the time, came over wondering what we were doing. [?] We gave him a quick Geocaching 101 but he wasn't all that interested, just pleased that we weren't up to no good.
Thanks for the cache Schnail.

After being sick for an entire week and not being able to get any caches i thought i might go and do some.
I made a phone call and invite a friend, who happened to bring the bibles.
Thank you for the cache Schnail, this was number 13 for the day.

Christmas Adelaide 2013. Today was a full day spent caching with Team Seedsman out to Outer harbour and back to the North east ion the after noon. I visited a few spots I have seen before and plenty of new spots. I even found an old DNF I had been waiting to get for many years, but there are a few new ones. Thanks.

With work finished for the day it was caching time, arrived at GZ and decided to read a few logs to minimize my search time with all the traffic going past, unaware to me i was less than 30cm from the cache, no train went past which would have been pretty cool. TFTC
After the Will it float event (GC4CBEH), I went caching for a short time with Mr Firesafe, Locus Cache, Honeysucker and Dennisc52.
Spotted as we were walking up to GZ, so a quick find.

Found in the company of locus_cache, Firesafe, Honeysucker and Knightyme after the Duct Tape Will it Float Event. Spotted this one from 5 metres away, annoying one of our group who had a DNF earlier. He says it was dark then! TFTC.
Was nearby for the Duct Tape Challenge event and we continued grabbing caches in the area.
My third time here and spotted it straight away. TFTC.

I picked up Dennisc52 and we headed for the Lets Test Does It Float - DTC #3 event.
By day's end I had found 11 smileys and no DNF's at all, thanks to the eagle eyes of Dennisc52 who managed to locus cache from metres away
What else do you do after an event but cache!
A 3 car convoy of firesafe, Knightyme, Honeysucker, Dennisc52 and myself set off to grab some more smileys.
Seemed someone had been here a couple o times before with no success so wanted some extra eyes to help find this cache.
A very quick find from metres away here, maybe the other geocacher had taken the name of the cache too literally

Had to bring vehicles into this area for modifications early in the morning, and so found a few caches before other businesses opened

Thanks for the cache. This is a new joint account for both afitzger88 and Kareng097.
OOOPS it seems like I forgot to log this one, the GPSR binged at me on my way past today, thought that was strange. got home and realized that I had forgotten to log it.
it was the 2nd attempt at this one, just HOW did we miss it the first time ???

Loved the cache name.
Nap had become separated from the container.
Tried to re-assemble them.

Gave nap a little love -- found him far away from his container, but knew he didn't belong there, so put them back together with some double-sided tape. Thanks, Schnail
Nice stress-free find on the way home from work. Also the only of the three caches on this road that is still here! TFTC

An afternoon of caching to the north west of my usual caching area, with the intention of cleaning up all the traditionals within a 10 km radius of my home.
I tried to chase this one down some time ago, but apparently it had suffered cache creep and I didn't have time for an extended search. No such problems today, hide was exactly where it should be. TFTC Schnail and Foxbane!

After three days of celebrating Semik's birthday at the "Gonna Soak up the Sun event" it was time to head north traveling with Alansee and try our luck with some Adelaide caches.
We had a bit of trouble finding a parking spot today, but that was probably more because we wanted to park close so we could leave the car running to keep it cool.
We did not find any yowies here but it was quite an interesting location.
We could help but wonder where the rusty lines used to go.
The cache was found quickly by Alansee and we all added our names to the log.
Again out thanks Schnail and Foxbane.

Found with Team Crackers on a visit to South Australia. Our second last cache for the day on what had been a fairly hot one too.
Don't know about the cache creep from last time we were here , but today seemed exactly the opposite - is this really in the right spot [?].
Saw the cache as we approached GZ for an instant find today (sure we wouldn't have missed that previously) .

Found this one easy enough as we could see it as we approached, GPS was pointing to the train tracks though - quite dangerous, thankfully there was no need to go near the tracks.
What better thing to do on Australia Day but go out and get a few caches. There was a nice group of caches around here and we were happy to find this one.
Nice work thanks to Schnail.

Found Reel BFE Style without the GPS as it was elsewhere.
I remember when the area was a very busy rail yard and often watched the steam trains shunting back and forth in my much younger days.
Now the area is a Field of Possibilities (GC20443 Multi-cache by MtnLioness)
The large buildings on the southern side of the area were once the the workshops of Clyde Engineering that manufactured diesel locomotives.

I was bracing myself for a hard search when it was is plain sight? Has someone moved it lol tftc
Hmmm... this one had suffered a bit of cache creep and the area around it had changed from when Nap was originally hidden.
Nap's position has been adjusted in order to fulfill my promise to The Ump that the cache would not be on the wrong side of the fence.
Please ensure that Nap is returned as he is currently hidden.
Thanks and happy hunting,

Had a pretty good look around all the obvious places, and a few not so obvious ones, but no luck today !
It took me a while to find it plus I had to stop for for Goods train to go through crossing before retrieving again. Tricky hide.
