Found it. Took a while for this one. GPS was a little off.

Found in far from good condition. But it is a cache that had eluded me, so I am pleased to mark as found.

As EngPhil mentioned, when we found this cache it was in pretty bad shape, and I see it's since been archived. TFTC anyway!

As per my found log. This cache is in very bad shape.

Daddy got out to find it. We stayed in the car. So there was some yuck near the cache. Thanks for the cache.

Find #1185 at 11:54 with the whole family on our second visit. Went straight to it this time, not sure how we missed it last time.

Cache consists of:

One crushed rusty eclipse tin with no lid and a soaking wet log.
One cracked 35mm with a slightly damp log and an oversized bag.
One extra perforated ziploc bag, no container, with pulp log.

We managed to sign the 35mm variant of the log.

This cache definitely needs some serious maintenance love, else it should be archived.

Thanks for the cache, Kevs_Team.

Out tonight on a caching run with some caching and non caching friends. This one was a quick find thankfully as the nearby units could see our torches flashing around. We had trouble making a mark on either of the very wet logs but did our best. Tftc Kevs Team

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Looked around for a while, then found. Tftc

Log was wet, so put in a new log in a new water proof bag. The cache is broken so will need to be replaced.

Out for the day with Dak07a. Why did it take us so long to find this one? As Dak07a says, needs maintenance. Cache currently consists of a mint container and a film container - both broken and wet. Replaced camouflage with slightly less camouflage to help minimise the breakage of these containers. This is our 12th and last find of the day. TFTC Kevs Team

Very sneaky!! But also very wet we weren't able to to sign

Cache is crushed and wet. Needs some loving. TFTC

Quick find today. Have been here before at night and had problems. Was out in the open so gave it a little more cover.

TFTC Kev's Team.

Got to the GZ with team fluffy unicorn, didn't take long for one of fluffy to find it. TFTC

Yay another one for our team.

Got ya.

Tftc

No luck for me today

Mozzies 1, EngPhil and MissGeosie 0. [B)]

There was lots of mozzies, and we got bitten. The mozzies bite us. And we couldn't find the cache.

Found it with my little muggle sister

Log book and container in good condition.
Nothing else was inside but the log, but I added a few things!

TFTC!

Hi Kev and Co

Was here today with Angela, and between us, we could not find, either in the obvious location or in a widened area.

I struggled to find this one. Mr Garmin wanted me to search the footpath some 8 metres away from the eventual find. All along I was fearful that the hide was amongst the thick vegetation. I gradually expanded my search and was happy to make the find. I wonder if the nearby object was interfering with the GPSr.

These coordinates worked for me today. Newly replaced container and log is all good (thanks clankirks) Thanks for the cache, Kev's Team.

#1,3

Initially I was pointed right next to the main footpath but after a while of looking around, found it in an unlikely spot.
Signed the new cache/log container.
TFTC.

Found after a bit of a search in all the wrong places. Fortunately I'd parked the car very close, so fossicked around and found a container (film canister), replaced the log, returned all to the hide. The previous container's lid was off and the log full. Thanks Kevs Team, for the cache.

Mrs Just a Trifle has just worked out how to update her GSAK database from the GPS to indicate those caches found. Well you know what that means don't you? Yep, we have found a few caches which we have not yet logged so now we are trying to catch up with the on-line logging. This one was a quick find on our way home from work. Thank you for having placed the cache Kevs _ Team

Found it with Chameolon saint and easy quick fine - traffic busy at 5pm but an easy one

Found at 1700hrs with Sarge8431.

I think this cache has seen better days.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 11:21am. Found by accident really as it was not where I thought it might be. We have looked for this cache before also. TFTC

Found fairly quickly,TFTC

Couldn't find this one last year as a newby when geolad and I first started. Found today - look how far we've come. Log wet. TFTC

Out with IolantheK on a Freaky Friday. Re-energised after coffee and cake at Maccas we were off once more. We had some time to kill before it got dark and this was on the radar. A quick find after a tour of GZ.

Out with teamdfl on a Freaky Friday We took a detour to Maccas for sustenance and to plan the next hour or so before dark. We decided to make for a nearby night-time cache, and this one was along the way. I've been here before in the pouring rain and didn't get the find, so this time was a lot simpler. Still took a bit of searching. TFTC, Kevs_Team.

took a bit but got there eventually with a little help!

Pretty wet in there ....log needs drying or replacing ....good spot though ....TFTC

Think think ..there you are .........TFTC

A nice easy find thanks for the cache will remember the name when driving down this street

Another Weekend raid in company of Gunnie69 today to increase our numbers

Heading to Pine River for some kayaking as well today

Nice Quick find

TNLNSL

Thanks Kevs_Team for the cache

On site nice and early, Kaisho53 and I were making our way North for some kayaking on the Pine River. We pulled up near GZ and strolled over for the hunt. It didn't take long for the cache to be revealed and our names added to the log.

Cache tucked away again, we shot through to see if we could sneak some more in before we met fellow paddlers... [^]

Cheers Kevs Team.

Easy find, not where I was expecting TFTC Kevs Team

Find #190 .

Quick & easy find . Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH .

Nice one!

Poked here, poked there... Oh right, it's here!
I think my suspicious activities went unnoticed by any boys of the blue persuasion.
Thanks!
(I think I may have signed the date as the 7th... whoops)

Last geocache in the area before heading home, the area was nice a quiet making for a quick easy find. TY.

Found it! Made easier but the lack of people around

My first Geocache was a nice little easy find

Found with Bedmaker
TFTC

Found with Tassiegirl13
As we were approaching the area we had the Boys in Blue actually pass by the other way.
Maybe they’ve heard about the cache and want to keep a presence for name sake.
We quickly found it.
TFTC

Back again and found it this time. Thanks Kevs_Team

Upon reflection I can see why they would like to sit here for a while. After witnessing first hand the lunatics that barrel down this road during peak time I'm not surprised that they collect quite a few customers.

Mystand-in GPS (read iPhone) didn't actually want to play today and directed me past quite a few caches to get to this one but I'm glad it did. I really did need the stop-off in the shade with this one.

Container and contents all in good order

TFTC Kevs_Team

out getting a few caches this morning in the local area as i had a weekend to myself. this one was a nice easy driveby - just the way i like them

Last day of the year and after a lengthy break I am back on the bike. Nice early morning ride until my legs seize up. Managed 13kms in a few hours, and 8 smilies. Happy about that. Hopefully won't be months before the next ride again.

After nearly 3 hours on the bike and a 5am start the wind was picking up, and naturally was against me. So somewhat tired I pulled into this cache on the way through towards home again. Quick easy find in the obvious spot, and the business was done in relative seclusion.

Thanks for placing this cache, Kevs_Team. Found in good condition.

{Overall find #1694}

1427 - After a lovely Christmas lunch and celebration with the family on Bribie, we decided to grab a few caches on our way home. This one was our fifth and last find for the afternoon at 5:28pm. An easy find and a quick park and grab today. The cache is still in good condition. Thanks for the cache Kevs_Team.

Searched for a while, then something caught my eye.... glad the boys in blue weren't watching my strange behavior.

thanks Kevs Team

No. 273

After a failed Christmas Lights viewing (apparently we were a week early, booo!!!) I noticed that this new cache was a mere 100m from where we had parked.

"Can I get a cache?"
"No, it's not a good time. It's late and we have all the kids in the car."
"It won't take long, it's just over there, right near the footpath. You could pull up, I could jump out and get it and then we can go home."
"Will you get the girls ready and into bed?"
"Yes!"
"Fine, but only this one!"


Yay!!! Was a bit trickier to find than I anticipated, purely because I didn't have a torch, the phone battery was almost dead and it ended up being about 8m from where my phone said it should be. Ah well, found RELATIVELY quickly...

Thanks for the cache Kevs_Team .

This cache experience started to form cracks in the caching team consisting of my muggle brother and myself... apparently saying "park at the park opposite the right" doesn't make sense. Oh well... found the cache quickly and easily and we were back on the road to confuse him some more. Thanks for the cache Net88 - 7 brother - 2

Love these little local spots. This ones within easy walking distance of the Gecko's house. TFTH

Quick find -it was out in the open just under the thing.

A muggle waiting at the bus stop across the road made me a bit wary of searching for a long time. I had a quick poke around what I thought was the obvious location before checking the bus timetable from my phone. Bus wasn't due for another 15 minutes and I wasn't going to hang around that long. Maybe next time. thanks for the hunt

DNF ... the lad got bored and we left. I will try again tomorrow whilst he's at school

Now we are trying to finde some caches in Australia

Greetings from Denmark

=) Stopped in with Brightskies and grabbed this one .TFTC =)

Found with ayepeacee this lovely afternoon. No boys in blue around fortunately. TFTC ^^

Wonder whether someone will rock up one day when the boys in blue are up to their business. Found this before setting off to meet TaxisVW around the corner. Once I spied the "obvious" spot, it wasn't long before I had the cache in hand. tftc Kevs Team

A nice quick and easy find whilst walking the Geohounds tonight.
TNLNSL.
TFTC.

No toys in use here this morning
I do wonder if I would have gotten a ticket on my approach this morning ?
Sure the road speed limit is 60k's, but what is the speed limit on the foot path ?
Who knows ?
I did find the cache, resplendent in it's blue and green jacket [^]
TFTC.

Found at 0903 with Marg. Marg found this one. TFTC.

Returning home from 4th FTF for the day and decided to pick this one up. It had appeared whilst we were in Tasmania so just a carefree visit today. Better half used Geocaching sense to quickly discover what the GPS couldn't locate.
TFTC

Dropped by this morning. GPS all over the place due to close proximity of power lines and being a very windy day.
Wandered here, wandered there then narrowed it down and finally the prize was in hand, like a police dog's nose to ground tracking his quarry.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Kevs Team

at 17:51 on the way to our monthly Sandgate fish & chips and seafront walk.

The battery was very low in the GPSr so the compass was not working well enough to lead us right there but Cyndi guessed the spot.

TFTC Kevs_Team. The cache is fine.

No sign of the boys today So the search was definately made a lot easier. Using the geoforce I had the cache in hand quickly.

TFTC Kevs Team

First to find available 0.65 km from home and I was about 800 km from home when it was published!
D'oh!

Published

Tftc

Only 1.7km from but no prize for me today. Even the metal detector failed to find the goods.

*FTF* @ 4.00pm

Joint FTF with Barb. Noticed this one in my inbox. 30 minutes ago. It will probably be gone, but only one way to find out.

Arrive at GZ and Barb was onto it in seconds (even though I got the TB). Log extracted and a clean sheet found. Just finished signing log when another cacher arrived. Nice to meet you Daniel.

Log and cache replaced.

TFTH

*FTF*

open my eyes to see Ed about to leave the house
off to get a FTF he says

can't have that
jump out the car (he has the gps)
race over
find the boys in blue
find the cache
and all its goodies

Good Afternoon,

Pulled up on this one to see two others there signing the tag, SO Close but oh so far away.

Thank you and have a great weekend.
