The pole was replaced and it is now gone. Cheers
 
12-May-17
Out with DRT and Aquilus1 for a night of geocaching and adventure.

This cache was easy to park near late at night, however going by the clue and the coords we think this was spot on at a brand new pole which looks like it has only been put up in the last week. Perhaps CO needs to check on this one?
 
12-May-17
Thought some one made this a drive by, by all the car tracks here, but just tracks from when the electrical pole was replaced. 3 sets of eyes but no cache for us tonight. Will have to return another time.

A clever hide, the style of which I have seen before. No wonder it has attracted so many favourite points. Well done, Chalk It Up
 
28-Feb-17
I found this cache this morning while waiting for the start of a MOTH working party at Tuggeranong Homestead. I anticipated that it might take a while, but I saw I presumed to be the hiding place, right on the coordinates, immediately. What a cleverly concealed cache this is! I can understand why it has received so many favourites. Thank you Chalk It Up for installing and maintaining the cache.
 
21-Jan-17
We just had a quick look today but did not find it. We will find it another day:(
 
03-Jan-17
Yep. I can see why this has lots of favourite points. Clever hide. Picked it up on my return from a cache find in Bonython. Hunted around for a few minutes, then put on geocaching instinct hat. Bingo. TFTC Chalk It Up
 
16-Dec-16
With my sneaky-scope on given passed comments I ended up finding this reasonably quickly. A great find for my 200th!! Tftc
 
03-Nov-16
Magpies were swooping! Couldn't get close enough to have a proper look
 
A previous DNF from 2 and half years ago. To-day found in ten minutes, very well hidden and deserves a fav for sneakiness. TFTC.
 
09-Sep-16
Southside for the morning, why not walk in the rain for a while and find a few caches. TNLNSL TFTC
 
07-Aug-16
Nice hiding place
 
30-Jul-16
I needed to find a cache with lots of favourite points to get my special souvenir, and this one looked like it was well located for the purpose. I parked nearby and wandered to GZ and was stumped for a while. After an initial scout around the area, and no success, I decided to reflect on the problem and went a bit further on to find the other cache nearby. On my return, and after reading some logs, I was still none the wiser. But persistence eventually paid off, and I was rewarded with this sneaky hide/cache. TFTC (& hopefully) the souvenir!
 
11-Jun-16
Just finished out lunch break and now back at it and this was a very sneaky cache Smile we like it a lot. TFTC Smile
 
29-May-16
Ingenious cache thankyou for the cache the ewoks
 
15-May-16
Another quick fine
 
25-Mar-16
A quick find on our way home with TheStormMan. Nice cache. TFTC.
 
19-Mar-16
First I've seen of this type. Hiding in plain sight - like that sort of cache.
 
12-Mar-16
TFTC Smile Very clever. Our favourite for the day.
 
25-Jan-16
Yesterday was the first day in nearly 2 months since I found a cache. Out again today to satisfy my caching needs. A quick and easy find. Thanks Chalk It Up.
 
17-Jan-16
Was very excited to grab a sneaky cache on the way home with Ham228. They had already found it and had highly recommended it! We were sneaking up to the location when before I could even search the other half of Jim1213 fluked it and found it with minimal searching. Next time maybe I will get a chance to look too! Very well hidden, such a good idea!!! Tftc Smile
 
01-Jan-16
Wow. Just wow.
 
01-Jan-16
Awesome
 
23-Dec-15
Finished work early so popped over to do this one as its so close to home and has been on my to do list for a while. Very clever hiding spot, thanks for the cache Chalk it up
 
21-Dec-15
Tftc. Clever hide, took longer than expected and had already touched it twice. Favourite point from me.
 
29-Nov-15
Such a long way from home. TFTC.
 
29-Nov-15
After spending an amazing 4 days in Canberra caching with StumbleTrip, we headed home.

We had parked the geomobile some distance away as we were tackling a series of caches in the nearby vicinity. It was hot work meandering our way to this cache and when we finally go there, I yelled "find" as, well, I thought I had found it. I even touched it!!!! And then decided that couldn't be the cache.

So I reread the logs and saw some interesting clues that would lead me to the location. Looking in the more obvious spots didn't reveal a thing. Meanwhile, ST is grinning like a Cheshire cat.....with the CIH!

What I had actually "found" the first time round turned out to be the cache!!! And what a cleverly constructed cache it was. Well deserving of a favourite point from me!

TFTC!
 
22-Nov-15
TFTC. Found while out on a walk through calwell.

Clever hide, nice work
 
15-Nov-15
Nicely constructed cache - I particularly liked where you placed the magnet. I have found a very similar cache without the magnet and it didn't work nearly as well. Very deserving of its favorite points. TFTC
 
15-Nov-15
Got the little blighter! I really like the placement of this cache. You have done a great job on the container! We need more caches like this one in our world. I can see you have gone to a ton of effort. A fav point from me. Tftc
 
30-Oct-15
Kept looking between two objects, but kept coming back to this one. Eventually spotted the clever hide.

Well done. Thanks
 
18-Oct-15
Great find had nearly given up and then we found it. Very clever
 
28-Sep-15
After finishing off the (Artist) It Up series, I relocated the car to make this a quick visit (it was late and it had been a long day!).

Very clever indeed. Process of elimination. I'm sure I tried that spot once in the process, but came back and tried a bit more purposefully. I really like what you did with this one. Very neat! TFTC Smile
 
18-Sep-15
cheers good hide
 
07-Sep-15
F(H)ound it! 4:45 pm

Scoped the area at GZ, made a few passes with the hound. Is it there? -No. Is it there? - No.
Aha there it is Smile. Very nice! A wonderful find, walking the Ridgeo-pup after work. TFTC, Chalk It Up - Love your work!

Bit worried about this one but turns out it was the first place I looked. Very good cache though. Love the effort put in!!
 
18-Jul-15
#740 -I needed a cache with plenty of favourite points, so this was an obvious choice. Nice hide, found it quickly though Smile ... and I will add to the favourite points! Now we need to find the Erindale drive one (not today though)... TFTC
 
15-Jul-15
Replaced the log today. Cheers

#661. 243 days in a row.

J is for... Johnson Drives It Up

I'm finally catching up on logging my finds from earlier in the year. I hope I've got all the dates right, but I've definitely found all of these caches and kept my streak going as long as I'm logging it.

This was my tenth cache in an attempted alphabet streak (I only made it to W). I intend to have another go at an alphabet streak later in the year.
 
11-Apr-15
Log Full.

Sneaky hide! TFTC!
 
16-Mar-15
A great morning to be out and about. I dropped my car at the mechanics and wandered off for a nice walk thinking there is a nice cache trail to keep me busy. The sun was strarting to warm me up now... and this one was a bit of a challenge. Excellent camo and hide! Thanks CIU.... a favourite from me!
 
04-Mar-15
To think o had my hand on it! Sneaky hide and find was hubbies! Gets a fav from us, well done TFTC Smile
 
25-Jan-15
My wife sent me down to Gordon this morning to pick up something she purchased off of gumtree. After grabbing her goodies I decided I had time to grab a few caches. Unfortunately I had no luck finding this one. One for another time. Thanks Chalk It Up
 
23-Jan-15
Great sneaky hide! Fantastic cammo & lovely vista.
 
23-Jan-15
Today my mum and I did a couple of caches to get out of the house. We walked over to GZ from the previous cache.

It was quite a hot day and with long grass around we were a bit cautious of snakes. Once we arrived at GZ, we started searching. The view over the field towards the homestead looked great. Surprisingly I found the cache pretty quickly. I must be getting used to these difficult hides! Well put together, Chalk It Up.

Thanks for the cache!
 
04-Jan-15
I was down south doing the artist-it-up series. It was above 30 C today with patchy clouds, high humidity and thunderstorms threatening. So it was a sweaty experience. I loved what you did to hide this cache. I've not seen this done before and could hardly believe it when I found it. Fav. point for extra effort. Tftc CIU.
 
26-Dec-14
Perfectly mede! Ta.
 
24-Dec-14
We dodged the rain showers as much as we could and enjoyed discovering some of the walking tracks around Canberra. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find. [^][^] Thanks to Chalk It Up for placing this cache and giving us the opportunity to see this area. Fav point alloc.
 
24-Dec-14
TFTC. Nice sneaky post.
 
24-Dec-14
To whomever found this one around 11, heading back to your car with GPS in hand...BUSTED! Razz
 
22-Nov-14
TFTC. We finally came back for this one which was close to home. It took a while but Gumby Maca had the cache in hand as my patience wore thin. TFTC.
 
22-Nov-14
[green]Finally made our way back to Johnson Drive to collect our next in the It Up series, and you almost had us with this one! I pretty much whooped with excitement when the cache was in hand - I'd not seen one like this before, and I like it! [purple]Binni[green] thought I'd had a bit too much sun, but hey - I'm impressed with "clever" [^] [blue]Thanks for the cache Chalk It Up
 
14-Nov-14
Found it with 2 geokids. Nice cache.
TFTC. Smile
 
06-Oct-14
Crafty cache. Well done tftc
 
29-Sep-14
While touring Canberra with daughter Vikki1480 we were searching for caches with high favourite points as well as doing the It Up series and lo and behold we found this one which ticked both boxes. I was impressed with the speed that Vikki discovered this one. Too late as we drove off in the other direction we realised there was another in the series nearby! Oh well, next time we visit!
 
28-Sep-14
Clever Smile
 
27-Jul-14
I think that would have fooled me had I not put my hand in the correct spot.
 
26-Jul-14
Found at 1740. It was incredibly hard to drag myself out of the house today to make my calendar find, but I hadn't achieved any of my other goals for today and needed to notch up at least one win, so off I headed. After parking near the Tuggeranong Homestead gates and strolling to GZ, I got incredibly lucky - the one and only thing I touched happened to be the cache. I signed the log and did a subtle walk-by restore, though there was so little traffic passing it probably wasn't necessary. Thanks for the cache Chalk It Up - a favourite for the crafty hide.
 
23-Jul-14
Great hide. TFTC Chalk It Up.
 
21-Jul-14
With Mondayitis in full swing, I was buggered !!!!

Off to collect another Chalk It Up cache for the daily Smile I swear, I was sooo tired, I barely remember the drive to be honest.

Loved the camo on this one, very creative Big Grin luckily for me it didn't take me too long to find it.

Logging duties performed and now its home time for some relaxing.

Thanks for the cache Chalk It Up Smile
 
20-Jul-14
Really nice hide. Quick find through sheer, dumb luck. TFTC Chalk It Up!

10-Jul-14
Wow excellent job so neat one. Admired it signed the log. Thanks Chalk It Up (Fav from me)
 
09-Jun-14
Spent a fair while on this, either I am cache blind on this one or it may be missing, any way thank you. We will keep our eyes on this one to see if it gets found.
 
Too well hidden for me, but I will return some time and try again.
 
26-Apr-14
Cool camo. TFTC
 
25-Apr-14
The first for the morning always takes a bit longer than it should and this was no exception. A good hide. TFTC

Found while out for a Sunday morning stroll with ever faithful Geo Dog. Thanks Chalk It Up TFTC. Cool
 
01-Dec-13
We drove past this one after our earlier walk. I parked and took the GeoSchnauzers for another little stroll to do a couple of caches. This was not nice easy find. TFTC. It is one of the most cunning hiding places I've yet seen. Thanks!!! You get a favorite for this one.

I've seen similar cache hides in Sydney, so it was a quick turn up for me.
 
07-Oct-13
Found this one on the way to a few other with LuckyL10n on his special 1000 chache day. Loved this one so am giving it a favorite. Beautiful day to be out caching.

Thank you Chalk It Up

10:06:00 AM: (19 of 21) Find#4951
Out for a morning bike ride with Roostaman, enjoyed the series, and was a perfect day for it, got it done before the storm clouds came over.
A quick find but no bike track but despite the recent rain we could ride somewhat on the grass, quick find .. tricky.. lol
 
22-Sep-13
# 6813 Found on a great Spring day for a bike trip around the It Up caches.
I met up with mtrax for a joint bike ride for many of the series.
Another good hide and a quick find.
Thanks for the cache Chalk It Up,
Roostaman.

#919 - 18:10; Twenty first cache for the day and eighteenth for the afternoon mini mission in Tuggeranong. Another Chalk It Up cache, but not from the 'Artist' series, although this hide could be considered a work of art I must say and therefore a favourite from me as well. I was pretty certain of GZ (*not many other choices really!) and a reasonably quick find before it was off in pursuit of an elusive first '24 caches in 24 hours'. I had seen something similar in Sydney some months back, which helped with the speed of the find. TFTC and the series Chalk It Up Smile
 
21-Sep-13
Thought this cache was great. There are so many awesome caches that we did today. So well thought out and so different to the usual plastic box under a tree. Great going Canberra cache hiders. Making a very enjoyable holiday for eatmorchikin & Stigglepot from Brisbane

Binni and I had already picked up 19 caches today, and must have hiked 10ks doing it... a drink, a feed, a sit-down and toilet break awaited us at the nearby shops - we'll pop by again soon to find this one Cool
 
25-Aug-13
Moving on in the "It Up" series, I parked the car near the homestead and strolled along to GZ. I circled and circled, poking, pulling and prodding in the obvious spots. Then I investigated something else and then...ahaaa! Clever! Really enjoyed this one-fave from me Smile Well done, Chalk It Up!

Thanks for this great series, Chalk it UP!
