Found on the ground with no logbook. Replaced on the ground with some bark ontop as I couldn't find a spot that it would fit. I had no logs on me so I stamped a leaf and took a photo.

Quick stop off with the Geokid on our first of four finds today. Cache was spotted quickly, signed and returned. The title says it all really! Good for a bit of a run around at least.

Today, my plan was to hang around Mount Barker and explore the town and its surrounds. A Breakfast Club event kick started my day, and from there, I joined a small group to Mount Barker Summit to find a few of those geocaches. I then headed solo around the area to find a few more traditionals, and later ran into Wal & Ol who had also stuck around visiting a few multi-cache waypoints. I continued to check out the town's surrounds, and called it a day when it got dark.

A quiet park to visit today. I parked around the corner, and spotted the cache reasonably quickly, as the container was rather obvious. The plastic bag was ripped, but otherwise, the logbook was fine. Thanks rouge watermelon / roguewatermelon for the cache placement, and to [@brisal5](http://coord.info/PR65M51) ongoing maintenance.

It may be a boring park being devoid of anything for kids but it does have a Geocache so it's anything but 'boring' Big Grin
Admittedly i was feeling over the top of the fence for the cache, i don't know why but as i found the co-ords to be out a wee bit i got desperate. Upon widening the search a bit it became pretty obvious where the cache was [:o)] and i quickly found myself SL at 14:37 on TGIF 28 Feb 2020 [^]

Out and about caching with an Adder.
We arrived at what looked like a boring park.
Followed the gps to a boring GZ.
Quickly had the boring cache in our hands.
Stamped the boring log, and replaced the boring cache in the boring hidey hole. Tftc

The usual Wednesday wanderings for the troupe of Puzzled Puzzlers animals was planned for Murray Bridge however at the last minute the KORF (Sushilord) sent a message telling us that he was not feeling up to the day's outing, the plans were changed to target Mount Barker, the home town of the Starfish who had already cleared out all the hides which left only the Adder and the Rat to seek out the hides.

We will probable be in trouble for not calling in for a Coffee, The Adder did suggest that we do but the Rat said that he would be too busy.

Anyhow, Yep a boring park but a spot for a cache is a spot for a cache.

All is good and thanks Sir Starfish.

Hi there brisal5.

Some time ago we attended an event in Mount Barker. On that day we spent more time socialising than actual caching, so today we returned to find a few caches here. We found your cache **"Boring Park #2"** today, and this brings our total find count to 21924.

We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 15 caches (& DNF'd 2). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wandering around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Last visit was a DNF where I found only a magnet. Today I was in the area and with the blue frownie on the map it was time to convert it into a smiley.
Parked nearby and wandered to GZ and immediately spotted the cache, the magnet the log and the pencil. Signed the log and replaced the cache in its hide and wandered out of the park not bored anymore and smiling broadly.

Rode the mountain bikes around the bike trails around Mt Barker, grabbing caches along the way. Great trails in a lovely area. Found a perfect hiding spot, but it wasnt there - then the geowife found the cache. Signed log.
 
29-Jul-17
Out with Getnict and Sir_Spectre for a days caching. Short search and found the cache. One of the Target caches
 
29-Jul-17
found it with getnict and rod81w. Last time it wasn't boring as someone called the cops on us and we had to do a speedy get away. This time it just rained on us and was a little more boring.
 
29-Jul-17
Out and about doing some caching with sir_spectre and Rod81w. Grabbing caches along the way to complete some multi's that we had previously started. This oark wasn't boring last time we were here as blue and red flashing lights were around. This time no lights to make the park interesting.
