The One that got away! Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia, Australia
By FelixII on 25-Mar-13. Waypoint GC45PKM

It would seem that recent installation of a camera tower and other works on the bike path have removed the cache host.....
Thanks to recent cachers that have reported the changed site conditions.
Time to archive.
Cheers
FelixII

The new camera made the search seen unwise. We looked for a while but it be time to give this one a rethink.

Construction Zone. No more path, and cant accsess area

Construction zone today no access

Quirky little cache. Tftc

We had an early morning start in Fremantle on a fresh morning so took the opportunity to collect some smilies on the way home, we moved around Freo before Freo even woke up before heading up north, happy to say we came up trumps and went home with a smilie TFTC

Found after reading previous logs. TFTH

TFTH FelixII Finally able to SL. Have been here a couple of times previously, including this spot!! Today was my lucky day. Having a walk around the lake with a visitor and showing off the gorgeous sights of our city. Such a glorious day.

Tftc

Thx for bringing me back to my old stamping grounds (3 decades on!)

Found it finally!

Just happened to touch the right thing and there it was tftc

10150*none*
Visited WA Deaf Senior Citizens Good to see them again.
Found it
Thanks FelixII

Found with Crank1 TFTC

Almost gave up but read some logs and like them used a bit more force. Great hide. Tftc

Decided to grab a few caches between the showers today. First we headed down to Lake Monger to grab a few new hides.
We have been here multiple time with the better half (and alone as well) and could not find this one. It is so embarassing! But the day has come, found it in the first spot we checked today. Eventually!

Thanks FelixII for the hide.

Thought I knew what kind of hide this was but then none would budge. So started reading the logs and became convinced I was right to begin with so tried again with more force. This time the cache was revealed. Also watch out for ants. Tftc

Interesting hide; TFTC!
Out on the bike, making the most of sunshine before winter rains.

Feeling "up lifted" that we found it. Very clever hiding. Beware hint


You can leave the tree alone

Found after bit of searching. Co-ords had me on other side

It didn't get away from me. TFTC

Caught this one after quite a struggle! Sneaky hide! TFTC

Sunday evening with not a lot to do around the house, the wife is in bed, what’s there to do? Go caching!

Managed to rope Cravo10 into coming along.

We started just north of the city and headed mainly around the Lake Monger, finished with 6 finds for the evening, some nice walks and great temperature too to sweat off my man flu with a thick jumper on!

Thanks to the local COs for a great night.

FelixII We found your cache The One that got away! thanks for placing this cache for myself and others to find.

This one didn’t get away!! TFTC

Nice hid BUT IT'S A BIT NOISY HERE TFTC

Great hiding spot. loved this one.

Great cache. Tftc!

Cool cache - thanks
Needs a new loft

I have revised the cache D/T rating.
This should assist with where you should be looking.!!!
FelixII

Looked but couldn't locate it.

DNF. No luck today

This one got away from me today. Nice large tree seemed to be yelling 'cache' at me but could not find so no smiley

TFTC

A dangerous spot for pedestrians at 5:30 on a Thursday evening. Speeding cyclists, heads down, ear phones on, just intent on getting home from work. Don't they know that we have important work to do too . Coords about 7m out for us today. TFTC

Bugger

Bit sneaky lots of scratches sadly DNF

It did. Be back later...

10 minutes! Very sneaky!

Excellent! This one almost got away from me, but I didn't give up and I secured the find in the end! Loved it. TFTC

Just discovered this game. Found this with my 7 year old boy. Didn't get away from him! What a good game! Thanks.

tftc.

A quick one with Skyryser

Found easily. TFTC

This eastern states geocacher has struggled to find the caches hidden around West Leederville where I am staying, but this is one that I bagged.
Thank you FelixII for installing and maintaining this cache.

Great hide, aimz23_93 came through with the cache well done

Had the right idea, took a while to confirm it. Very clever

Very nice hide. Gf with the intuition. Lots of ants.

Cool cache. Log full.

Found but log is full. Nice fish

Out on a beutiful morning to pick up a few geocache and munzee finds!

FelixII, we found your geocache "The One That Got Away" around 12:30pm on the 14th of April 2017. When we found your cache it was dry and healthy and replaced as found.

TFTC!

That brings us to 151 finds now!

Chow,

Nickag73

As I stood at the GZ and looked around I knew it! Easy grab Thanks

FelixII, I found your cache The One that got away! dry and healthy . SL TFTH. Image shows: Facing south-southwest (altitude=48m) towards pedestrian overhead bridge over Mitchell Fwy to Lake Monger.

45 MINUTES AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Great cache! It took me a good fifteen minutes to find it as the GPSr on my phone didn't seem to play the game. I had started with the right idea but didn't take it far enough, so I went looking in all sorts of places instead for a while. I was just about to give up when I finally discovered the well-constructed cache. Thank you for the hide FelixII.

Found on a walk around the lake with W.D. Clever cache, TFTC

Found it. TFTC Felixll second time for this one and I was thinking of making it a Third but I used my phone a friend card, thanks Ullyssia.

Nice hide I really enjoyed finding this one. It took me a little while to find but once I started looking in the right place I soon had it. I should've trusted my coordinates more.

Needed to PAF the CO for a hint. I was looking in all the wrong places.

With my NOR school holiday visa issued I headed north to collect a couple of new LGAs.
After parking up I had the lovely m4yb drive me around her territory while I navigated. The weather wasn't the best so not a huge day. While the nearby road was packed the path was free of MAMILs and look I caught a cache after the GPS settled and I got the right side. This is certainly one cache that didn't get away made me smile too this type of fishing is not boring, although with the weather I nearly got as wet. TFTC FelixII

Almost gave up but got there in the end. This one had us hook line and sinker for a while. Tfth

Quick find in the almost dark. Got the code now just need the other half

this was my second attempt and finally found it! Thanks to GeoAddict for hunting tips!

Didn't take long to reel this one in, but not before pulling a 10kph sign over the fence from a neighbours yard - oops.

I guess this "one for away" from us.
No luck today

Great cache, found on second attempt, signed as MS, thanks

Maybe next time

With a lil CO help

Found it @ 4:50 pm
TFTC FelixII
Find #139
T.T.

A new house build seems to have thrown things into a mess here

Found a nice little hidey hole, but no sign of the cache.

On 3rd Oct 2015

Tftc bit of a story with this one, first found it before christmas but didn't have a writing stick, went back and signed it on new years, and am now finally getting to the online log on the 9th.

Found withoit too much trouble. TFTC Felixll.

Great hide. Took a bit of a look but Miss 11 was in to it pretty quickly. Thanks

The logs really helped. This was so cool. Now I have the longitude and latitude I just have to find the fish like one!

TFTC

This took a bit of work!! Very clever, loved this one! TFTC!

Great hide found by mum.

Finally - this must be my fourth time here and im sure I looked in this spot before as I have seen this MO from the CO before. Now to find time to catch the final. Thank you

Find #1393

Was in town from Melbourne for the footy so with a few hours to kill in the afternoon I headed off to check out a few local caches. This was my second of 8 finds for the afternoon on a long lap of Lake Monger. I had noticed the puzzle when I checked earlier in the week and when I saw I needed to find two nearby trads I thought I would give it a crack. I guess I've seen a few of this style as I found it pretty quickly and got the clue for the final and an idea of the theme. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited my personal trackables. Thanks for the cache FelixII.

Tftc Cheers

Was having a bit of trouble at GZ. Read some previous logs and was lured a few metres away. Quick find after that, as I have encountered this sort of cache once before.

Looked hard but no joy

Very clever
TFTC FelixII

Found it on an impromptu visit without a pen so no signature on the log - sorry about that. We're happy to prove our visit to the CO by providing the numbers listed above the lure.
This was a very sneaky hide and worthy of a higher difficulty rating. We hope to return soon to find the final cache in the series

Having discussed this cache with various others while at the WAGB meet down in Busso, and having a further conversation with the CO back in Perth, we thought we'd aim for the Mystery Cache associated with this one to complete our 365 cache-a-day streak. We already had a smilie for part one and thus only needed the info from this one to go and ca(t)che the finale (see what I did there?!). As is our modus operandi, we cycled down from Mindarie, and started stomping around in the leaf litter in cleated shoes. Mr O was immediately unhappy with this stating that this wasn't the Felix's kind of hide and so he stepped away from our GZ. In hindsight he went straight to the correct spot but no fish were spotted and so we wandered aimlessly for a bit more before studying the logs. The one from Natalie (not giving you a clue to who Natalie is folks....) was the clincher and we were back to what we started doing. Boy was it tough to get this sucker reeled in but eventually something gave way and the log book was in hand. Phew! Thought for a moment that we might fail here. Funny how this one and 'Rio' have similar origins eh?! TFTC FelixII

This was a sneaky one but after a reasonable time found it! The terrain rating helped with this

Just as the group were departing by a stroke of luck I grabbed this one. Very sneaky and worthy of a prized fav point. TFTC FelixII

A great cache! took a while to find this one! Tftc

Eventually found after widening the search area. Guessed what the theme was going to be and was not disappointed
Signed and replaced safely
TFTC

Almost had me foiled. After multiple trips back finally got it!

House sitting in Baldivis so I caught the train from Warnbro at 7.15am to meet M4YB at Edgewater to start out assault on a few puzzles. After at 63 minute train ride I was rearing to go

The day is getting long but still caches to find. Didn't even have time to go watch Floreat Athena play

M4YB stood back while I went for a walk. Found cache very quickly but it's not the first one like this I've found, just thought outside the square how Mr F would think and got it right first try

TFTC

Found after "brunching out"

Went to brunch in mount hawthorn with a friend and then convinced them to come on a short geocaching adventure with me. This was our first stop and we had a bit of trouble getting a lock on GZ due to cloud cover and trees, so we were down on the ground then up on the bridge then down on the ground again. We eventually got there though! Luckily I've seen a few caches like this before so I was onto it reasonably quickly.
Such a good hide though and I love the theme of the caches, thanks!

Finally got it...

Before I could read the cache info, younger team member was holding it already in his hand
Thank you

Spent a long time contemplating the surroundings before finally hooking onto this one. TFTC.

Found on our cycle back from seeing The Giants, I got lucky on this one and found it within seconds, Joshy's not happy haha

With geocaching it is all about looking in the right spot. Like others I spent ages looking in the wrong places until I looked at a previous log about 'sides' and then bingo, I had the cache in hand. Clever hide
Tftc.

Greetings from germany. Thanks for the cache.
