A quickish but purely lucky find this time. Had quite a long and unrewarded search previously but regular recent finds convinced me I must have had cache blindness. And the gods had sent rain and wind to deter me. Tftc

Heading home, enough light left to grab a cache.
A nice variation on a classic here. A fav point for the hide.

Allied Pranksters I found your cache AP 298 Pranksters Star on 6/11/2015. This is my find #4380. TFTC.

This one proved to be incredibly tricky for a couple of noobs like us. We spent a while looking around GZ scratching our heads before D worked it out and had the cache container in hand. Sadly though, having never seen a magnetic nano before and being reluctant to be too rough with the cache container, we thought the log itself may have been missing. Happily, a message to the cache owner sorted our confusion and we were able to return a few days ago to sign the log.

We were very impressed with this cache, the hiding spot is incredibly clever and the owners help was much appreciated. TFTC!

Out geocaching with geogirlfreind and muggle friend!

Found it in the first place I looked, Yay! Park is empty early morning so its easier to look. Tftc
 
05-Aug-15
Took awhile to get it due to ingenious camo. Searched in and around that spot several times each time turning away to look elsewhere before finally turning it up. TFTC Allied Pranksters Crew.
 
21-Jun-15
Wow. We had to give up on this one when the rain just started chucking it down in buckets full and the wind picked up and threw the buckets sideways. Even so, we didn't seem to have our eye in as we'd already spent a bit of time on it. Tfth
 
12-Jun-15
Searched and found quickly. Love the camp so here's a fav. TFTC
 
09-May-15
Great Camo. TFTC
 
09-May-15
Awesome camo, took a while TFTC A favourite from me
 
27-Mar-15
Out grabbing a few quick caches on the way to pick up the kids from school. Needed to think a little laterally here.

Magnetic nano was obviously meant to be a distractor. Almost by accident did I find this after quite a long search under duress- there was toilet paper and something quite smelly very very close to ground zero. Needless to say I wasn't going too close. Actually loved this cache once I found it tftc
 
12-Mar-15
Out with Jasenjanine on our fortnightly kid free day. We chose to do some park and grabs today seeing as it was going to be a hot one.
We had a pretty good run with 16/17 finds. Some of which had not been found in some time. Just goes to show a little patience (which is clearly not my strong suit, thanks Janine.) and a bit of digging will unearth the prize.
Thanks for the cache.
 
12-Mar-15
Headed out around this area for some kid free caching time with MNS13 today... After a brief look over GZ I knew this was not going to be your usual nano placement & sure enough after a closer look I had the sneaky devil in my hands Smile

TFTC Allied Pranksters Big Grin Cache was in good condition.
 
25-Feb-15
I was out and about on an early morning caching run and this one was on the list.

I was pleased to make a nice quick find here Smile. A great camo and a fave point awarded from us a Big Grin

Allied Pranksters - jinta29 found your cache AP 298 Pranksters Star on 25/02/2015 5:37 am. This is my find #2914 and find #1 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!
 
22-Feb-15
Just remembered, we found the log to be rather full. We have added our name somewhere to the side but it definitely needs a new one. Sorry, we had left the replacement box at home today:(
 
22-Feb-15
While spending some time at the nearby playground I had read the logs and prepared myself for a concentrated search. Stopped there with the family on bikes, pretended to take a break to look unsuspicious. It didn't take long to find this cleverly arranged cache. Thanks for hiding.
 
22-Feb-15
Log replaced
 
21-Jan-15
Thought I had found it with a movable object but empty. Searched but no luck TFTC!

18-Jun-14
Down here for kids training. Was looking for a while running out of light and threatening rain...one of the locals gave me a hint and I was on to it. TFTH nice camo.
 
14-Jun-14
This was SOOO hard to find, but I enjoyed the challenge Smile

Had to come back to this one after stumps. Circled the structure several times and nearly gave up. Spotted the tricky hide, very nasty.

Tricky hide but we managed it at 11.00pm. TFTC

1 0f 3 for the evening while out walking Geo Dog while wating for the gps to settle we nearly had have the please explain conversation with some cops but lucky Geo Dog was enough of a distraction that they didnt stop for long

great hide
TFTC
 
30-Oct-13
Out walking the dog and collecting a few caches on the way. Loved this hide very simple but easy to miss for the unsuspicious. Smile
 
18-Sep-13
I came across a gentleman walking his dog who was quite familiar with your tricky, sneaky hidey ways... He was kind enough to give me a little help with this one. TFTC Smile
 
16-Sep-13
Fantastic hide but a quick find Thanks : )
 
10-Sep-13
A stroll over from Fathom feeling good as we found it without too much hair pulling, plus the rain was holding off for us. We walked up looked at this looked at that, touched one touched another and what do you know a nice camoed cache!

We have done several of this type but it is the first time we have seen it so nicely executed, a fave point from us for your sneaky little neurons that are always working overtime.

This proved too tricky for me. Twice I had a large yellow pole turned upside down and even that wasn't helping. Had a cheating chat to cash in an IOU so I could log the find. Thanks for the cache.
 
26-Aug-13
For some sneeky devious cache hiders, completely without scruples, keelhauling would be just too good for them. Like KB earlier in the day, I was busy inverting a steel pole looking for a magnetic nano in a quite reasonable location. Meanwhile Mrs J was busy elsewhere playing with items that just could not be considered a reasonable place for the hide. Naturally, it was only seconds before she came up with the goods. Have anothe fav Captain.

After a GPS lesson from amstradkid I decided to pick up a few caches on my way back home. I really must be thinking the Allied Pranksters way as this was a quick find. TFTC
 
01-Sep-12
Nice hide tftc.
 
18-Aug-12
After visiting the event this morning, returned to home territory and headed out for a couple of caches.
This one was within a few hundred metres of home. Pastafreak163 and I hunted it out and I beat here to the find. Earns a favourite from me. Smile

16-Aug-12
While enjoying Chil's day off we decided to check out the latest evil cache by the The Captain. As we arrived we saw what we were up against here. The GPS'r took some time to settle here, maybe the close prox of some large electric equipment, which started up as I approached the parking area... A quick search of the possible places to place a magnetic nano, without luck, so we put our Twisted hats. Ahhhh there she blows, a nice cache indeed.... SL TFTC AP
 
15-Aug-12
Are you guys up to 298 already!? Quick find on the way to work. TFTC!
 
10-Aug-12
Came home early from my volunteer work and found that there were a few new caches that had been published whilst I was working so convinced Gwiber that she needed to go for a drive. Was heading for the new cache to the south of this one when Gwiber got the publish mail for this one so diverted over to find it.

Once I was sure that the GPS had settled it was a quick find and *FTF*.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.
