I have a bad feeling this one may have gone walkabout. Will endeavour to check on it.

i had a deja vu flashback.
yes, i had been here sometime ago.
total fail then & just on nightfall, same outcome!

GPS was whizzing around like it was searching to find water, i was tearing my golden locks out & geodog was rolling her eyes around in her head.

certainly never helps my mood when previous logs state 'just so totally easy peasy drive by our 2 yr old son in his pram found it whilst he was half asleep & great granny pointed to it with her walking stick! sigh

will bring my troops next time.

suzy

GeoCaching down in Somers with GeoTeen daughter after a visit with my son on Somers Camp we did a bit of a detour to get to this cache. Gorgeous area, lovely little country road! Different way to leave a cache, too. Although the log was a little ripped we still managed to put down our details. TFTC.

This was our last cache for the day out with super Pop and we were hoping the rain would hold off long enough for a find, which it did.
This turned into a nice easy find, especially for a bison tube, wish they were all like this.
As for the questions on the page we have enjoyed doing the Jack Speak series and still have 7 "Welcome to" to go so have seen a few of their hides meaning really enjoyed this dedication cache to a team we also enjoy catching with.
Many thanks Earthbound Chief.

Our first ever find! Gps wasn't working but my 8yr stepson found it. Pity about the littering in the area. Log is hard to remove as it has been torn.
 
09-Jul-13
Awesome hide, thank you
 
07-Jul-13
A nice container indeed, it made me smile. It is quite a charming view of the quiter road here. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC SL - nice one on the way home from the beach with the dogs Smile
 
23-Jun-13
Found @ 3:35pm, Find # 2309.
While I was in the middle of the Hunt, I continued down the road a bit further to collect this one before heading back the other way. Once at GZ, it wasn't long before the cache was found.
A little bit of care is needed when removing the log as it as been ripped.
Thanks to Earthbound Chief for placing this cache.

Really appreciated the irony of this cache having located a number of walenator's caches around the Peninsula. Certainly easier to find than many of theirs! Well done and thanks.

Convinced geo-husband and geo-kid for a quick nite cache. Had a bit of a giggle when I saw the bison.... lol. Tftc earthbound chief. Smile
 
09-Apr-13
Pick this up on a peninsula cache run with Datruk. Since were just about to complete the Jack Speak series and over 50% of the cache that we found today were Walenator caches we had to get this one. Loved the oversize micro container, very fitting. Thanks for placing this cache.
 
07-Apr-13
Need some time out so went caching with Team_coxy
 
03-Apr-13
Sehr schöne und sichere Verpackung!
Leicht zu finden

TFTC, A quick stop and easy find. Interesting container lol.
 
31-Mar-13
We had to smile when we saw the cache container. It's a cracker!! as Frank Carson would say(he was an Irish comedian). SL.
TFTC, Merann.

Easy find on what was turning into a fairly average day, weather-wise. Funny how even in these quiet locations I still often need to pretend the Garmin unit is a phone when cars drive past ... haha. TFTC Earthbound Chief - love the bigger containers. Smile
 
25-Mar-13
Now I've found it I understand the name thanks
 
06-Mar-13
Now thats a great container nobody should miss it!!!!

Another Demolition Crew run, but this time with The Roostaman on board all the way from Wagga..... Great to have him along, as he has cached with us before, and we all had a ball. Tonight's run took us down the peninsula, for a bit of a clean up run. Top night as always, and Roosta, the chicken rolls were great as well.... Thanks to all the CO's for their cache placements.

Ahhh the bisons.... I love it though, I have had a lot, and I mean A LOT of fun finding the many bison hides over my various trips down the coast..... TFTC.

Found on another TDC with fellow members TrailRunning, Quasar3671, Blacklegend and a special guest appearance my great mate from Wagga Wagga Roostaman, we had a great night with lots of laughs as usual, the boys tell me the Chicken rolls were good as well, I missed out due to my Gluten intolerance. Nice bison. Thanks Earthbound Chief for the cache.
 
11-Feb-13
Found during another great run south with the TDC members TrailRunning, Quasar3671, Blacklegend & Rebel Acts. I was in the area for a few days once again and asked a couple of the TDC nicely if I could join them on this weeks adventure. With not many meal stops along the route I was glad I took along a few extra chicken rolls for nourishment, At least it wasn't wild, wet & windy all night like previous trips.
We had a few less finds this week too with a few caches needing maintenance.
Another joyous trip full of fun and laughs, as well as some exciting climbs by Quasar.
A bit of searching at our GZ, then a quick look further away and it was found, then on the road again.
TNLNSL TFTC Earthbound Chief,
Roostaman.

This cache was found as part of a cache run with my fellow TDC members Quasar3671, Blacklegend & Rebel Acts, and the man from Wagga Wagga ... Roostaman. The co-ords were a little off, but we soon had the larger bison! ... Always a bison! Thanks.

Run Summary
----------------------
Roostaman, had travelled south from Wagga to got to Eric and Nat's engagement party on the weekend. He was keen to come out caching with the TDC, so we obliged. Armed with his famous chicken rolls for all, we travelled south down the peninsula collecting caches as we went. Not a great night for finds, with many missing, we still had heaps of fun and lots of laughs. Thanks to all the CO's for their caches.

Out caching with Pea bear today & decided to take the long way home & pick up this new cache. Sure is a big one. Found in the second place we looked. Thanks Earthbound Chief for the cache.

I was out with the family looking at houses when this was first published and we were literally just around the corner but I was unable to stop and collect the cache at the time, I even drove past the street the cache is down not more than 20 mins after it came out.
Today I was out with my boys again, house hunting and once we had looked through a few we dropped by here to find the cache. We parked and got out and I led the boys to GZ and they did the searching. 4yo Cooped spotted it and we soon had the log signed.
Thanks for the hide - certainly is a big bison.

*LATE ENTRY*

I was sure I logged this one ...... It was whilst I was checking the Geo- maps when I realised I hadn't.

The cache....
Awesome container - impressive stuff and very fitting - I love the idea behind it Razz It was a quick find (obviously) BUT it threw me off when I spotted it

Thx EBC for the cool hide.

We were sitting at home doing a bit of tidying up when i got the notification that there was a new cache just up the road. Had to wait for the geodaughter to put her shoes on and then we were out the door. Had a quick look in one spot and then walked around the other way and how could i miss that? thats been super sized! Great hide Earthbound Chief. Thanks for being at our side for many hours and long trips while caching. It took us longer to dismantle the cache and sign it than it did to find it! Joint FTF with Rhiua. TFTC

Finally got this one - actually got it easily. But the vertical view was dizzying!!!
