The I's have it Traralgon, Victoria, Australia

As there has been no response, I am archiving this listing.

I was asked about the cache location at last nights puzzle event.
So I went and checked on it today and yes, it has gone missing.
I will replace it soon.

Poiter.h

Nice as first puzzle complete!

Yay had this one on the go for a while and wasn't too sure about it but today was the day got to gz and and found straight away great job on this one tftc

used to love doing these puzzles so found this a good one to do. Took awhile before I was actually in Traralgon and able to track it down. TFTC

Helped Myman with this one - as he didn't get it before. Eyed off the clue and went to where we thought it might be.

Once again it proved that even when one has gone back to the car ready to give up, a new burst of enthusiasm (or perhaps stubbornness), proves worthwhile - as the cache was soon in our hands.

This was an interesting cache. == certainly worthy of a "favourite".
With only two sets of information and no instructions how the information is "combined" I was stumped when I first tried this.
However, I then worked through the possible combinations, using google-maps.
The first combination I tried was a location as unlikely as the GZ co-ords, but still needed looking at to eliminate.
The second combination seemed much more likely.
We drove there. It looked as spectacular as it looked on google-maps.
For a seemingly remote location this had an enormous amount of muggles (mainly cars but also a walked and his kid and dog).
With some careful searching with Sixy2Sue we were empty handed, but not quite finished....
Reviewing the logs convinced us to have one more look and ... there the little blighter was within a few metres of our new calculated GZ ..
Very satisfying ... just the right amount of trickiness, yet still quite findable.
tftc ...

Today was another road trip day first to Mt Baw Baw and then to the east of Victoria and back to grab some caches for an LGA Challenge cache I am slowly working on. Headed out from home at 5:30 am so it was pretty chilly early on but after that it was great.
I looked at the puzzle and eventually saw what I needed, got to GZ today and after expanding a little from the coordinates I made the find in a fairly obvious location.
Thanks Poiter.h for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

This is the second Poiter.h puzzle of this type that I have found. Arriving at GZ, I made my way to the likely area, and after expanding a little soon found the container. A nice sized container and fun to find.
Thanks for the puzzle and for placing this cache.

This was our second search for this cache. We chose an early hour of a foggy morning on this occasion, so were not feeling hassled by passing muggles. And with that situation at play, we were able to find this cache. TFTH!

Went with AN&J .. walked to the co-ordinates in the main listing of the posting ...
Hmmm ...
I could read the magic eye ... so got the "clue" ok .. but, nfi what to do with the "clue" .....
......
I will have to think about this one ....

A darned hot day to grab a few caches. We had this worked out since it was published, and this has been the first opportunity to do the cache. A few worries about wrigglies, but it was too hot even for them

Thanks for the cache Poiter.h

Good day out I recon (caching of course)

A plan was made to head off to the valley today for a full days caching with Bright Beavers, Dunko and JT123. We all had a great day finding a wonderful array of cache types and cunning hides while covering quite a number of Kilometres. Many thanks to Poiter.h for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL

Another day and opportunity for caching with friends. Today my caching buddy and I were in company with the Bright Beavers and JT123. We had a great day finding many types of hides and travelling quite a long way into the bargin! Great day had by all. Thanks to Poiter.h TNLN

Had a wrong digit but found the treasure close by, thanks Poiter.h

#1340 This turned out to be a difficult days caching in the Churchill area collecting a total of 25 hard earned finds along the way. Some were tough nasty hides and in the end we conceded 5 dnfs! Lucky last for the day as we return to Traralgon. Loved the puzzle, either you have got it or you haven't. Both members of Team BGF were capable. TFTC Poiter.h

Geocaching on Christmas afternoon, while most are hiding away in their houses... Nice and quiet! TFTC!

Solved this some time ago but we live interstate so it's a long time before we can get to our GZ's. I think I can recall how it was done as being a man of the '70's these things are old hat, but for some reason am now unable to check my "workings out". No matter, we had our corrected coords salted away in GSAK for the opportunity to arise & it did so today. We walked straight to the spot & there it was, can't get any better than that. But how did I do it again? Maybe we do need our I's checked as all we can see now is a broken link.

We arrived at gz at a quiet time. With 4 sets of 'eyes' we soon bagged this one. Happily, it was easier than we anticipated. TFTC

TFTC Had to wait a little, was a little busy. But got it in the end.

Found with gwd.aussie on route to Melbourne event. TFTC

Found early before catching train to Melbourne for a caching event, easy find and only one car when by while signing the log.
Found with D@geo
Thanks for the cache

My I's had it some time ago and I have been planning to test my theory for some time. However Ladybugs I's cannot get it despite a thorough explanation. A great idea for a puzzle cache. TNLN Thanks Poiter.h for this clever cache.

Found on the way to bendigo with megs_q
Solved the puzzle at home and used it for a break on the way
Thanks Poiter.h

Found this one on a road trip with my mum.
I found the cache with the lid off and water in the cache..
Luckily the log was all dry. removed all the water and replaced everything.
TFTC

A clever little hide with camouflage that was quite pleasing to the eye actually. I had quite a lot of fun scrambling up and down from the gz, TFTC Poiter.h!

Felt a little strange due the the position, but a nice quick one! TFTC!!

Much better doing this one by day! Had an attempt at night but got some weird looks from people driving by as I tried to hide behind clumps of grass! Was expecting Neighbourhood Watch to have a go at me about loitering and being a weirdo! Loved this random location for a cache - also appreciated the help from LuLuDad in solving the clue (these puzzles have always eluded me!). Thanks Poiter.h! Also dropped off Travel Bug WHZFF6!

Great find! TSLS TFTC!

I went and checked on the cache again. Someone must like Ammo Cans as It has gone missing.

I have now replaced it with a cammo 1lt clip lock container.

Enjoy the hunt

Poiter.h

Solved before coming over, I actually own a similar cache in SA..... GC233JD
Spent quite awhile here, with no luck.
Given a number of dnfs over a long period, perhaps this needs to be checked?

Heading this way from SA next week.
Has cache been checked to see if still in situ?
Perhaps I could accompany the CO to gz to check and/or replace? lol

DNF. No luck today. Found ground zero. So many options!

DNF for me after search around GZ
Thanks anyway

Straight off night shift BettyBoo3747 and I set off for Churchill to check out the Winston Wander on our deadly treadlies. We grabbed a few others in the area, both before the trail, then a few more on our way to Sale.
If we have worked out this puzzle correctly, it is a strange place for a final.
I think we did as the area has been extensively stomped.
No cache for us today.
Thanks, Robmc.

Thanks to my mate fir his help on the puzzle that I was unable to solve! Took ages finding the cache when it should have been only minutes. Doh!!! TFTC a favourite for the puzzle.

Had to take my mums new benz in for its first service so I dropped it off at Mercedes and walked to 4 caches and this one was the first as I got the co-ords the day before ( oh I mean Mrs Bounty Trackers got info as I can't do these things). The co-ords that I had where spot on and cache was found in the first place I looked. sl took tb.Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.

When this one was first published I knew what I needed to do right away. It has taken me this long to drop by and see if I had been correct lol. Plenty of traffic at this time of day and it did take me far too long to find it. For some reason I was looking for something a lot more evil. TNLN Swapped a TB with one I picked up in Nepal. Thanks Pete for something a little different.

Found at second try, there are a few places here to hide. Left TB. Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.

When this first came on line we looked at it with no idea on how to proceed. Thanks must go to our friends Happy1956 for the idea of where to start. Once you know, the puzzle is straightforward.
Plenty of choices at GZ had us dodging the muggles as we searched, but as a number of previous cachers have logged, you just need to wait for the clunk!
TFTC TNLN

She who must be obeyed solved the puzzle & after this it was a quick find.TFTC

A great idea for a puzzle cache and we had flashbacks of completing these in our youth. Solved the puzzle at home and used it as a break along a drive to Gippsland. Originally we were searching along the edge but once our GPS settled we headed to safer territory and ended up hearing a distinct 'cluck'. Good fun. TNLN TFTC

Gps a bit unsteady, not 100% sure l am in the right place but checking other comments the gz does have a lot of options.

# 5450 Found on a trip into Morwell to check out the caches in town.
Found a few in town and a few more out and around the surrounding back roads too.
Nice and quiet and no muggles around while I was here.
Quick solve of the puzzle before I arrived, but not so quick find amongst all the options.
I usually have trouble in places like this, but I got lucky this time & heard a clunk while I was searching.

Couldn't resist giving this one a go, it's a really interesting idea for a puzzle. Needed a bit of help with this one as our GPS didn't seem to be playing nice today. After ringing the CO we were quickly on our way though. Thanks for another great cache Poiter.

I had to cheat on this one (twice!!) poiter.h you do my head in, but I like it ... so the story goes, after spending some time on and off over the week looking at the cache description thinking I'd never get this cache crossed off- I was stocked too see a log by a previous cacher whom I've been lucky enough to meet, so this morning after a little bit of a challenging by the CO thought I'd ask for some clue's - got enough clue's to continue with the hunt without any more eye strain - then whilst having coffee at a friends house decided to take my friends daughter out to find her first cache as she is interested in it - got to GZ and though uh ohhh... had not prepared very well and was only in thongs and dresses not even gloves on hand - so after a good search turning up nothing decided to phone a friend - after a dance of phone calls that was 'like, hello,hello, hello can you hear me ' cutting out and re-ringing each other back at the same time finally got though and finally translated enough English through the noise of the rustling tree's and bad line - there it was !! our co-ords were a little off - not alot but enough in that terrain to throw us out - cache found with help - swapped x2 (mac's) bracelets for a shiny disco ball and an iphone cover... Marnie was excited to see her first cache ... thanks Poiter I think
and thanks for the extra, extra clue's Mac's..

Joint FTF with Kath91, and with a little help from geodad! TFTC =D

Worked this one out today and headed off to Traralgon straight after work, keen to secure the FTF. Felt confident as it had been published for a couple of days with no logs yet. Reached GZ and hunted around before Mr 2max came up trumps! Oh darn, we were pipped at the post on the FTF by 20 minutes!! lol Well done Cogez1988 and Kath91!!

Thanks for the interesting way you published this cache Poiter.h, it was very clever, and I love that the name made sense in more ways than one. Dropped a couple of bracelets into the cache and SL. TFTC

TB "Scrat" visited whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Placed TB "Minnow and Friend" in the cache
