Dropped by for a maintenance check and found GZ a worksite all fenced off.
Will leave a while and see if can be reinstated when all calms down there!

Came here with pudgywudgy but could not find it. I've been here previously and found it myself so I know where it usually is and what it looks like. No longer in the same location. May have been muggled.
Found it easily but it took a bit longer to extract the log out and put it back. Lucky for me as I had a pair of tweezers in my car.
Thanks Mattycat for the cache

We found this one by feel and thankfully we had gloves as there were heaps of spider webs. The log was so tightly jammed in the container that even with various tools we couldn't extract it. You might like to have a quick look at this one and perhaps trim the log a bit so it's not so tightly stuck? A good hide. Thanks for bringing us here.
Easy find but definitely glad I took the advice and came
equipped with tweezers. That log roll is tightly packed!

We had intended doing some washing today, it was pouring with rain so we decided to drive up to Gawler for the day and pick up one or two caches along the way. Funny how things work out, it turned out to be a prefect day for drying the laundry, now we'll have to do it tomorow as we are due to move on, I bet it rains tomorrow. On the up side we found a some caches to brighted our day. Thanks for your cache Mattycat

We had been visiting my Mum in hospital but wanted to find a cache today to fill in a hole on our geocalendar. This one is only 180 metres from my parents home so we know the area quite well.
No sports being played on the oval late on a Sunday afternoon so a discreet hide was easy. We replaced the log sheet with a new one so plenty of space now.
Many thanks for the hide Mattycat [^]

Also, update to our find yesterday. This one needs maintenance (new log). The cache is still there, but the log is definitely full. We had to write sideways, partly over some other names.
Very nice hide! We were almost ready to give up when I checked one last place and found it! Searching with HatchlingByHeart. TFTC! SL. Used some natural "tweezers" instead.

Searched with leiger. Found after 20 minutes of searching, in a place we searched several times but somehow didn't notice.
Sneaky thing! Found it after a few moments of searching.
DO NOT RECOMMEND SEARCHING AT 7AM!
was swarmed with tiny bugs. :

Quick find thanks to the clue, used to live just on the other side of Ridley reserve, my Dad still lives there.. Many happy memories of this place. TFTC
TFTC. I never knew this park was here. It is a lovely area. Found on day 29 of 31 days of caching.
#21/31 of the August Challenge. A nano challenge on dusk, in heavy rain, just hope there's no HV leakage! Trick to getting this log out is a opened paperclip . Yes a good Scout is always Prepared! Thanks Mattycat

Thanks for the cache. This is a new joint account for both afitzger88 and Kareng097.
Today I had a space in my Caching Calender, so out I went to find a cache.
Stopped on the road in the middle of Ridley Reserve to eat our KFC lunch. This was closest so off I went.
When I arrived at GZ I had a pretty good idea where to find the prize and I wasn't disappointed in my own ability.
I carry a safety pin for removing these small tight logs so had no trouble with this one.

Found it, took a little bit of time, very very small! Didn't sign it, had no tweezers to get paper out
A quick find after a small detour on a morning ride, under cover of broad daylight! TFTC.
Found at last by Shakey after previously leaving due to mass muggles.

Found in the only place it could be, though Owl is still trying to figure out the clue. Not a muggle in sight and didn't find the scouts, but the birds wish all the best for the 'new' scout group. Some of them may have come across Raven at the Jamboree.
We have never finished the day with a DNF, our last one was so we thought we would do one that shouldnt be too hard to find. Our son is part of the Carisbrook group and is really enjoying scouts. Tftc sl.
First find of the day. Quickly located just had to wait for a dog and their owner to move so I could get in and grab it.

Found while at work, have searched a few times for this one but haven't really had a chance to have a good look. Spotted it a few days ago and went back to sign log today TFTC
Found on a very pleasant days caching with CPWanderer and Team707.
This one took a little longer than it probably should have. Mrs M made the find on the obvious. TFTC.

The Crazy Geo-driver found this one in a nano second,after mrs SA Sewer Rat had trouble removing the log he had it out in a half a nano second for me to sign and replace. TFTC
Nice nano. Logs a little damaged hard to extract. We will come back later to sign. Travellinbees

A quick find in a big city. Found on the "I'm not Diving with the Great White Sharks trip". A great day weather wise and caching wise.
Thanks to Mattycat and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Was in the 'Badlands' for the NZ New Year event and stayed around for the afternoon grabbing caches in the Salisbury and Elizabeth area.
Took a bit but then we spotted it. TFTC.

Grabbing a few quick caches With Liz And Bruce and firesafe as we wandered through the Scarey Badlands
Went out with Honeysucker and Firesafe to do a few caches after the event. This was one we targetted and found.
Nice work thanks to Mattycat.

Gotcha!
Third time lucky this morning. First cache I tried was "unreachable" so I will need to return better equipped. Second one was missing, but I didn't realise until I checked my phone as I was walking to GZ.
But the third time was a charm. Nice easy find. Thanks
ZZzz..
Needed a find for 12/12/12, and this one suited the bill.
Tricky hide that I missed on my first scan, and it was quite difficult to extract the log, but I managed it in the end.
Thanks for the cache, Mattycat

Been here before did you know that there was cache just about 50 metres away up the road not so long ago? (GC20P27) So when I was visiting some very nearby geocachers (you have no idea how close you are), I thought it would be a great idea to get this cache, thankfully this cache came with a cup of tea and chat and I barely needed to leave my seat. Thanks Mattycat.
Being so close to home the kids wanted to run and find this, so off they trotted for their first cache find alone. TFTC
Quick find this Morning on a school run
Thanks for the cache, I always thought there should be one here
We need more in this area

When I arrived in the car ... I knew exactly where GZ would be and pretty much what I'd be looking for.
Fortunately I found it quite quickly ... and when I found it, I must admit that this is the first type of this cache container I had seen ... sort of a variation on the nano theme ...
No sports going on in this park on this Sunday afternoon.
In micro print, signed and dated the log.

Arrived early while everyone was still in bed - well, not the people setting up at the sport fields !
First time we've seen one of these nano designs. TNLNSL.

As this was a nice quick find it joins the list of nanos that I don't mind.
But the others I'd rather not talk about.

Quick stop in the dark.
The place has been transformed....

Damn nanos, they should blow up all the nanos, and burn down the nano factories...

Hey Squizzie,
if you had taken up our offer of coming caching with us, that's about when you, too, would have been getting home

Locus cache must be away. I've never seen a northern cache with no log on it...
Woohoo!! FTF!!
My apologies for late logging however I was too tired last night to see to log.
After a crazy day at work, I had been looking forward to a night of caching and this became even better when it turned out that a group caching trip was about to eventuate to snaffle some puzzles that some of this group had put lots of time and effort into solving! [^]
My thanks to the puzzle solvers, to the CO's for providing caches for us to locus cache on and to the fantastic group (Dennisc52, brisal5, mogni, muff1, CPwanderer and Aussie M & M) who made the night out so much fun that I didn't get home until 3.45am, after scoring two solo FTF's once the group had disbanded
As soon as I saw the name of this cache when it was published about 11pm ish, I knew it was close to my home area but I was still in Adelaide caching.
I was surprised to get this, and another FTF, on my way home!
A very quick and easy find to end my night on.
That is a nice cache guardian there, too. I am sure many a Ridley stripper laying around rusting somewhere will have a few of those on too

Geowife found it where she had looked first but said it wasn't there, while I searched elsewhere in vain. She'd better not complain about man looks in the future!!! TFTC Mattycat!
Locus, What were you doing out at 3:25 am. I got silver at 10:25 am. A much more civilized time for caching. There were girls and boys warming up for a baseball game close by. Thanks Mattycat for the fun.
