I'm archiving this one because I no longer work in Mount Barker and this cache was pretty plain.

Out with 3LG and Clare007 for some locus caching Cool
Afternoon stretched into night and there were some hours spent searching for a few caches which just did not get found! Sad
All up between 3.30pm and 12.45am we had 16 finds Smile and 7 DNFs Sad
Some of these cache hides, if they are still in place, are pure EVIL! Twisted

A quick find for this cache, so not a slow day at work for us today Wink

Found this for our last cache for the night. We did try yesterday at night but didnt have any luck and with a 2.5 year old in the car it was a bit difficult to give it a good go. Found pretty easy this time around & camo is great Smile First to find in its new camo we noticed. TFTC Smile

Clever find
Tftc
 
09-Nov-12
Second in minutes. Took trackable F001 for a ride. Left a knucklebone as a reminder we were here.
 
08-Nov-12
We tried to look nonchalant while locating this one. Found quickly and easily but it took a bit longer to replace it because there was a workman in a ute very close to GZ. TFTC
 
07-Nov-12
Dropping 3 TBs. hope someone takes them soon. It barely closes!
 
01-Nov-12
Flat out at work, but there is always time to sneak out 'for a quick one' especially when GZ is less than 200m away from my desk here in Mt Barker.
I got sprung badly though, but it turned out to be the CO who was keeping an eye on proceedings.
 
31-Oct-12
Tftc very sneaky
 
28-Oct-12
Mr Tardis made this one a quick drive by on the way home. Fortunately for me a little bit of the camo had worn off so I spotted something not quite right and made the find.

I was greeted by a M-Sez co-worker with an open container and a log in my hands, a few meters away from GZ. I said hello and he knew what I was doing. He was busy closing up shop for the day.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache M-SEZ.
 
24-Oct-12
No one out in the yard today so was an easy find
Took trackables for a visit

Found with my nan[earthlight]and the x-trailers.
Took trackable to visit.
 
21-Oct-12
It took me a while to find it because my gps was playing up. I tried my iPhone but it made no difference... Finally I found it. Cunning hide.

Thanks M-SEZ for the cache. Smile
 
15-Oct-12
What do you do when your dentures are being fixed and you are left toothless for several hours? Find secluded caches of course. Well this one wasn't quite so secluded, and thanks to the handsome young man for the tip. TFTC
 
06-Oct-12
trusted the sat-nav & hubby found it. we were trying to be subtle about it when we heard "did you find it?" after greeting M-SEZ we took the TB's as they have apparently been in there a while so we will move them on. nice to meet you M-SEZ, you looked like you were having a busier day today! TFTC
 
05-Oct-12
Dropped TBs. I can barely shut the lid now!
 
01-Oct-12
Thought we'd have a quick hunt and found this beauty! Finally found a geocoin! 3 actually!! Took one to move somewhere interstate! Tftc!! Made our day!
 
26-Sep-12
Dropping a geocoin.
 
22-Sep-12
Found it!
 
21-Sep-12
Dropped a TB
 
16-Sep-12
Looked like another slow day at work as there was nobody about except for someone out back. With all the other businesses closed today it was a quick find. SL and then left without anybody noticing me. TFTC M-SEZ
 
15-Sep-12
Searched around for a while, then gave up. Just about to drive off, when I scolded myself for giving up... hopped out for a second look and found it straight away. Quitters Luck. Retreived the TB to keep it moving. Thanks for the nicely camouflaged cache M-SEZ!
 
15-Sep-12

Dropping a TB.
 
08-Sep-12
Brought a friend along to help me look. GPS Put me out the front of a business, but in a dirt patch where there were no possible hides! I checked nearby in an obvious place, but still nothing. A Hint would be nice!!

Savvy the trackable sound guy passing through.

Pretty slow day when the CO is caught with the neighbours discussing compaction. Not sure how I missed the cache last time. I am sure I looked there. Must have been a man's look. Thank for the fun.
 
02-Sep-12
Good camo. Nice quick, easy find on way to shops in Mt Barker.
 
02-Sep-12
Bored M-Sez had time to see me through the window. Rather than look like a dick SurprisedCool[:o)][:X][8)]Red Face I decided to go in and ask about a crane. Luckily we had to go outside to see the crane and thankfully I lured him across to GZ....... I now didn't feel like such a tool. Razz

Thanks to M-SEZ and clear skies from TeamAstro.
 
31-Aug-12
Found It!
I was been watched by a number of people including M-SEZ and whoever it was that drove past and honked and waved at me...
Still took me way to long to spot the thing given how obvious it is...
TFTC
 
26-Aug-12
Found on the way to L Legends treasure hunt which we won.... Met owner of cache while there. TFTH.
 
26-Aug-12
Found with Brisal5, AussieM&M and Blinky on the way to the Urban Treasure Caching Event in Adelaide!!!! Thanks M-Sez for making Mt Barker an even better caching location.
 
26-Aug-12
Returned in daylight to look again. This time I sussed out the sneaky hide with CP and Aussie Mary. Whilst sitting in the car the cache owner wandered out. Another slow day at work! Off to the UTR 5002. Thank M-SEZ.
 
25-Aug-12
Was on the way home& decided to stop in and have a go at this one.
It was quiet, but was wary as a employee was busy bobcating the front of the business.
He stopped to answer the phone & hoped I could use this opportunity to find it.
The employee decided to introduce himself as M-Sez, we exchanged pleasantries and hinted that the cache was onthe outside of the fence & I could poke away to my hearts content.
Unfortunately my batteries decided to go flat, so after changing batteries and re-calibrating the gps I started again.
After checking the nearest objects near the fence, I went back to the gps and zeroed as close as I could to the cache and looked a bit closer. Hello, what do we have here?
Didn't see M-Sez again, it seems that worked picked up.
Cheers M-Sez for the cleverly disguised cache & was nice meeting you.
 
24-Aug-12
Dropping TB's
 
22-Aug-12
When the notification came through, I thought I have to check out this one!
(What a cool boss!) Razz
38kms away.... Um, yeah, one day!!
I did however come across a picture that evening which reminded me of something.....
 
22-Aug-12
FTF without help at 1830 Smile
On way to Strath from city, so thought I would have a go since the great Freddo had tried and failed miserably! lol
Took a few mins as coords had me next to road, I marked an 'X' in the dirt where the gps wanted me for you to see tomorrow! lol
Nice cammo, you got way too much time on your hands!
Took some fresh coords, which may spoil your fun a lil!
Grabbed the pathtag, thanks
And dropped my ftf coin through, I am not shy to claim an 'unassisted FTF'! hehehehee
 
22-Aug-12
FTF for Blinky and Mogni. Admittedly we got a bit of help as it was about to rain.
Thanks Smile

Thanks for making it easy. Spent 45 minutes looking. Started in the light but across the road was looking at us a bit much so had to drive off and wait for them to leave. Upon return was joined by a frog and further searching. GPS had me in middle of nowhere, so put it way and started looking in the obvious, including the carden over 20 metres away but still no cache. You got me [:(!] Not only no FTF...not even a Smile
 
21-Aug-12
Adding my DNF to the list. I was not far away at the time of publishing attending a sad event. The searching for the cache was just as sad. I looked. They looked. We all looked. Headed back to town. Coming down the freeway I suddenly had an idea where the cache might be. Pity I am 25km away now.
