This afternoon/evening, gridge98 and I headed north-east to around the Redwood Park area to find a few suburban geocaches. We started at Redwood Park, and ended up proceeding through Banksia Park, Golden Grove, and finally Mawson Lakes. It was a nice warm evening that felt like the first signs of spring and summer, which had us reasonably happy geocaching in the dark.

We had an idea to what this cache may be, and there was a good clue from one of the previous finders' logs. Sure enough, the cache hide was found rather quickly, but opening the container and extracting the logbook proved to be another challenge altogether. It was hard with the camouflage missing/broken, and hoping it can be repaired. Eventually we had the right technique, and the logbook was removed, and in good shape. Thanks SneakySqueaky for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. It was also nice to have found this cache with 406 days [13.3 months / 1.11 years] of unfound love since its last find on 1/08/2019.
 
10-Sep-20
Cache still here took a bit too remove this one. We left it a bit easier to undo

This evening Davidwazza and I set off to find some caches in the deep north eastern suburbs around banksia park and golden grove before heading to Mawson lakes to finish off. The weather has been good the last few days and is perfect for caching at night. Total 22 finds for the evening.

Thanks for the cache

Looked twice but can not find.

My 2nd Frown turned Upside Down! on SAGA Day Wink

Initially i dismissed the replacement coz it was not what I was expecting with this type of hide lol Big Grin but i soon did what needed to be done and i found myself SL at about 11:42 on Sunday 31 March 2019.

The cache and contents are fine and dry [^]

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Last found 15 months ago, with a few dnfs, can CO please check and let us know if its still here, this is our 2nd dnf and I would really like to turn this frown upside down Smile Thankyou
 
27-Jun-18
no luck today, thinking we would have been better staying in bed than attempting to cache lol but thankyou, we will return
 
12-Mar-18
Found the remnants of what would have been the cache. Please confirm if repair is needed. Cheers.
 
12-Mar-18
Hmm will go and check this one out

The sneak one
 
17-Feb-18
I have seen this type of hide many times in the past so I am assuming it is possibly missing or it's just me... usually it's just me lol [:o)] Either way, I didn't find it so I am logging a DNF at 10:20 on Sat 17 Feb 2018. Thanks for the Challenge anyway, SneakySqueaky Wink
 
20-Jul-17
Maybe I'm just a bit rusty. Might come and look again tomorrow to see if I gain a new perspective.
 
30-Apr-17
An interesting spot to visit this afternoon, and a sneaky cache. Thanks for the hunt today: )
 
10-Mar-17
Geomum is becoming an expert at these types! Tftc
 
21-Feb-17
GPS was going haywire due to the overhead electric wires, but stood and grabbed what I though could be a sneaky hide and it was. Have no idea what the rather long poem is all about. Didn't have a log so I put a spare piece of paper inside. Thanx
 
16-Oct-16
Found with rereg00123 as her first cache found! Veteran cachers, TubbyBooBoo and Zobo01 helped introduce her to our favourite pasttime. Muggle no more here! Quick find, us in Mickyfam4 having seen this type of camo before spotted it first. A good learning curve for our new cacher! Thanks for the cache, SneakySqueaky!
 
27-Jul-16
after nearly giving up my 9yo daughter found it. great hide. TFTC
 
26-Jun-16
I'm on a road to nowhere...
After not finding the last cache,
thought I'd do a sneaky one... much easier Razz
Was the first thing I touched and the one I went back to!!

After widening our search and reflecting on our search the cache was soon in hand . Tftc.
 
10-May-16
Found it. . Took ages. Not all clues made it easy... precious logs is easy now......nick bottroff
 
15-Mar-16
Precious logs helped us a little bit still wasn't expecting this clever hide. We used this one to help with another of your caches nearby. We'll definitely be searching for any others you have. Thanks so much for the cache.
 
15-Jan-16
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Got the cache for the day nearby and saw this was also close so decided to make another detour to grab this cache also. Although noting that this was a Sneaky Squeaky cache which I always approach with a little trepidation as you never know what you are going to get. Arrived near GZ and parked out of the way and wandered over observing the area and immediately knew what I was looking for. Try option 1, failed. Option 2 failed. Whaaaa? Reopened the description and started to reflect on the words and as I turned around spotted options 3&4 and thank goodness 3 had the goods. Signed the log and replaced and now I am going south back to the car with a big smile with another Sneaky cache under the belt. Great work. Favourite. Gratias pro cache.
 
15-Jan-16
[Which way do I ride today ??
North, South, East or West Razz
North it was !!

And here on the edge of suburbia,
I found a quiet roadside spot to take a break.
With a fizzy cola in paw,
a cache I did saw Big Grin
But not in the first place I looked] Red Face

Turns out that you do not need a screwdriver to open this cache Razz
 
25-Nov-15
Love these kinds of find. Thanks
 
01-Sep-15
Third (or fourth? I lost count) time lucky on this one. Pulled up today and thought I saw something out of placed. Went to check - nope, secured in place. Check similar ones and hey presto! How did I not do this earlier? TFTC
 
25-Aug-15
Yep geat hide
 
19-Jun-15
Found during a rare foray into the north-eastern suburbs on a pleasant afternoon. Thanks for the nicely concealed cache SneakySqueaky!
 
12-Mar-15
Headed East to get this one but it had us baffled for a minute or two until we had an aha , I wonder if we have had one like this before, Yes another sneaky hide by squeaky, TFTC
 
11-Mar-15
After having a quick search in obvious places.
We turned around to reflect on who owns the cache.
The snake soon had cache in hand. TFTC
 
10-Mar-15
I will reflect back on this as one very sneaky hiding place
 
03-Mar-15
This is rather out of the way, so it wasn't really surprising that a very nice muggle stopped to ask if Owl was lost. The usual 'just waiting for someone, thanks' sufficed, but Owl had to wait until she'd driven down her long driveway before she could swoop in to the assumed GZ. Nicely hidden!
 
15-Feb-15
ronso has found a few of these :cP but red managed to put his hands on it quiet quickly. nice hide :c) TFTC!!
 
11-Oct-14
VERY sneaky! And very inventive....it had me going for ages! Well worth a favourite point! Thanks SneakySqueaky.
 
07-Oct-14
Found a few days ago but must have forgot to log it back then. On arrival at GZ Mr TiedyeSmileys went straight to the cache and placed his hand on it, but then didn't think it was the cache and looked elsewhere. Finally went back though and found the little sucker exactly where he first looked.

TFTC
 
30-Jun-14
Quick and easy find. Upon reflection, it was only quick as I have seen this type of hide before. Thanks for the cache.

Home for us is Perth's Northern Suburbs but we have recently embarked on a trip around Australia with our Cat and Caravan.

Now touring SA after attending Oz Mega we headed out today to hit a few local caches. Big Grin

hmmm took longer than it ought to but got there in the long run. GPSr wanted us to look elsewhere but then commonsense or geosense took over.

A fave from us.

Out grabbing a few caches after a local event with the locus cache

thanks to SneakySqueaky for putting this cache out for us to find

Had this one in my hand rather quickly. Thanks Squeaky.

Another clever Sneaky hide!!! Tried what we thought was the obvious thing before then finding the right thing!!! Thanks SneakySqueaky!!
 
15-Feb-14
I would love to go North for some caching, this cache had us thinking but after a look in one spot we then looked elsewhere and bingo, the cache was in hand. TFTC.
 
23-Jan-14
Take 3. Been back here a few time and after compass was jumping around bam found it
 
06-Jan-14
Took a few minutes of ruling out what couldn't be a cache. Clever hide. TFTC
 
07-Dec-13
The GPS was everywhere and we couldn't get a good fix for GZ. Lots of neat places for a Squeaky hide here as well, one that looked really promising - but it wasn't the right one Surprised!
Found after the second 'test' of the correct spot Big Grin.
TNLNSL.
Thanks SneakySqueaky.
 
27-Aug-13
I wanna dance the tango with chance
I wanna ride on the wire
Cos nothing gets done with dust in your gun
And nobody respects a liar
So goodbye for a while I'm off to explore
Every boundary and every door
Yeah I'm going north

I wanna know where children would go
If they never learnt to be cool
Cos nothing's achieved when pushed up a sleeve
Till nobody thinks you're a fool
So goodbye for a while I'm out to learn more
About who I really was before
Yeah I'm going north

Up where the hunted hide with ease
Under the arms of eye-less trees
Up where the answers fall like leaves
Oh and your love is all I need
Yeah I'm going north

SL Thanks

Another clever hide.
We saw one of these a few years ago at a June Long Weekend Event so fortunately we found it reasonably quickly as it was late at night and rather cold!
The previous one of these we saw was a much bigger container though!

Thanks SneakySqeaky
 
06-Jun-13
Must be out of practice
 
01-Jun-13
We were nearby to find another cache, and came to have a look. Having read the previous logs, we were sure this would be something Sneaky, and had we not seen a YouTube clip recently with exactly the same type of hide, we would have likely left empty handed. TNLNSL TFTC
 
25-May-13
This cache was a case of Deja Vu, reminding us of a Dazzatron cache in Moonta. It was a quick find and sign for us though but a great hide and excellent camo. Happy to have an easy find on a Sneaky Squeaky!
 
23-May-13
It's not often you're chauffeur driven to a cache by the owner. It's also not often you can retrieve, sign and replace a cache without getting out of the car! Great cache. I recognize this container...almost like it used to be mine! TFTC
 
22-Apr-13
Quick find whilst out and about.
this looks familiar Smile
 
18-Apr-13
A quick find for me today.
I walked right up to it.

Nice hide.

07-Apr-13
A sense of deja vu as we did this cache. Nice part of the world.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.
 
07-Apr-13
Now this place is familiar. A cool place to be on a beautiful day.

Thanks to SneakySqueaky and clear skies from TeamAstro.
 
06-Apr-13
We had spent the day doing lots of house work so thought what better way to unwind than go grab a few caches.
We had been meaning to come up to do this one for some time as it is relatively close to home and today was the day we finally did it !
It was mr Smirchie who was victorious in the find. SL and back on to the next one.
TFTC sneaky !!

Crossing some off my list that Bacon has done without me Smile

Drove up and has to use Bacons phone as my 3G wasn't working Sad

Great work on the camo! TFTC.
 
02-Mar-13
I recon that it should be going south. This was my closest to home so i finally got to get out and do some caching today after doing home decorating recently. Thanks squeaky.
 
23-Feb-13
Doh!
This took me much longer than it should have!!!!
I tried that one --> but not THIS one!!! LOL
I'll use the muggle excuse here lol
There were a couple of resident muggles going home last time I was here, and being a high fire danger day, I was feeling a bit awkward stopped on the side of the road!
[:o)]
Think I went in here a bit overconfident Smile
Locus came up with the goods here and walked in the opposite direction quietly, holding it in front of her, leaving me looking!!
[:o)]
Thanks for the fun, again, Squeaky!

The last cache for the night with *~KittyKat*~
Seemed she had been here before without a find so she brought me here to locus cache Wink Which I did Big Grin
I remember this hide from another cache and it was just as quick a find as the original hide was.. less than 1 minute Cool
A nice way to end our night Smile

Gaahh! I had managed to escape for a dinner date with the bestie in the badlands, when all of these emails came through.... 30kms.. 38kms... 26kms.. 4kms.. Doh! If I were at home, I would've joined in with the FTF Mini Flash mob! Smile
With intermittent reception, I pulled up the map but it wouldn't load.

On my way home, I popped past.. I have driven down here a few times with the sleepy geomonkeys in the car so I know this road pretty well Smile there's a really cute letterbox further up the road Razz
I wasn't game to jump out and play in the dark without a torch tonight though! I shall return during daylight hours!

02-Feb-13
We were expecting there to be people galore here since its a new sneaky cache! But think we missed everyone. Great hide true sneaky style Smile TFTC
 
02-Feb-13
Nothing on TV, New Sneaky cache... Who could resist? Off we trot. Thinking there would be a few more people around we were prepared to have a group search.. But at GZ the place is deserted.

I had a sneaking suspicion what the cache would be as we arrived and it wasn't long before it was in our hands.. Wow the log is quite empty, seems people only care about FTF :p.

Thanks for the cache SneakySqueaky keep up the good work Very Happy

Woohoo, a joint FTF, nice to see other cachers out and about from time to time. Good find by geodaughter!!!! This hide is a bit deceiving as definitely not big enough for 2 TB's and photo clue doesn't help. Mmmmm, is it possible that we have missed something here????? TFTC!!!
 
02-Feb-13
Thanks for the joint FTF Japer, lovely to meet you. As usual another sneaky squeaky hide, we want more of them please. This is the first time I have been all the way up this road also. Thanks SneakySqueaky. TFTC

At 17:05, just 3.5kms from home. Got it quickly, nice hide. For such a quiet area, had 3 cars go past Sad

Saw gadanga rushing up my drive, "There's a new Squeaky close by, let's go".
Was at GZ 5 minutes later, a little confused about the size but just started looking. Was soon joined by JAPER! and a much younger set of eyes didn't take long to make the find. Thanks for the help and nice to meet another team.
Thanks for the cache SneakySqueaky
