Logs
We had downloaded information from GSAK for our travels today and hadn't realised it hadn't updated the cache as being archived. We found the remnants of the log, added our name and placed it where it seemed to belong. Thank you for having placed the cache dorrigo codgers.
When TaurusSix and I arrived we found the cache open and the contents strewn around. Found the log and signed it. Being out in the open it is a bit wet. Then put what we could find back where it looks like it belongs.
After the morning doing the loop we came home for a late lunch & rest.
Then the rain came down, we only have a night here, so we set out in the rain to find the caches closer to town.
No TB seen in the cache.
Thanks groovydoo, for all the good caches

18/23 Storm clouds threatening and big rain splotches. Satellite signal seems to have been a bit crazy all day. Found ok then back to the car. Can I get a few more before the deluge starts? TFTC
This one was not too hard to track down the coord's led me to it. I retrieved the Travel Racer TB from this Cache, and replaced a few small swaps. TFTC.
Well the camo had "Ghia" on it, so it must be a Ford.
And despite the shiny metallic finish, it is plastic not classic

Found at 2:50 PM GAFF1. Not sure what the name of the cache refers to - we thought that the silver disc may have been part of a Ford car? And we just got confirmation from the CO that it is! "...silver disc fits on ford ghia wheels."
Thanks dorrigo codgers.

Walked straight past this one at first, even though it was quite exposed.
(Found with 'vaggfam' & 'Nudge74' yesterday, but just created my own account today.)

Found on a day out with 'Nudge74'. Found easily as the cache was uncovered and very visible. Signed the log and returned it to its hiding spot (with some additional cover). Thanks.
Found with Vaggfam Geokids and all. They walked right past this one though.

Very green park....the hint and the name had me curious but all was revealed...nice hide!....thanks Dorrigo Codgers
I was hoping finding this didn't depend on the answer to the cache name or one of us would have been in trouble! Beautiful views from the cool green park. TFTC dorrigo codgers.
Staying the night in town from NZ.
When I got to GZ UI wondered what the significance of the cache was-finding it it all made sense. Interesting piece of history thanks

all towns have their idiots, so it did not supprise me to see the cache vandalised.cache has now been replaced with new container and log book.if it is vandalised again i will relocate it to another location.
Like moosebreeder1 says, this cache is BADLY in need of some care and attention. Was unable to find a log to sign and the cache itself was full of water.
Definitely needs maintenance.

I had found 994 caches before today, so today was an attempt to make it to 1000. I found the cache but unfortunately it has been badly muggled. There was a coke tin inside which had leaked and so the container is full of coke, anyhting that may have been a log book is soaked and the rest looked like rubbish. I didn't have anything I could use as a supplementary logbook either, so I haven't been able to sign it. Needs maintenance.
A quick find before work on a crisp morning for the 12/12/12 celebrations.
I thought the camo was excellent.
