Found but was unable to sign the log. Unfortunately didn't have anything to replace it with. I was able to retrieve 2 clues but was told be a previous finder that there should have been 3. Not sure if it is in the container or not as I couldn't remove the log. Thanks for the cache.
We soon had the final gz worked out from the comfort of the car and then set off and managed quick find. The log book is totally soaked and unwritable. Clues are still good though, thanks LouiseAnn for the fun little multi and hide.

Out and about today with Happy pants after getting out of work early.
Both logs are both totally water logged.
Cheers for the cache

Quick and easy multi. This cache was rather grotty and needs to have a little TLC. We signed a new log as the original one was impossible to get to...
A simple puzzle with a simple find in an area we don't get to very often...
Pity the cache was in such desperate need to some maintenance. We've added a log, as the log was irretrievable, but it won't hold out for long. As the entire cache needs some love.

Quick and easy find. pitty the cache is in a very bad state. we added a new log as the log was Hhhmm very unwell. With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.
Found cache, log is totallly destroyed by water and cards are still there but no string.
Got it easily, only the first for the month, and it may be the only. Log book saturated, didn't have any spares. Managed to scrawl pp7 without having to open the pages. Tftc
The protective baggy is ripped and the log is now fairly mushy. A bit more moisture will render it pure pulp.
I would've replaced if I had replacements to hand....
I would've replaced if I had replacements to hand....
Rolling up to the posted co-ordinates had me park down the street as the family in the house opposite the pole were in the throes of changing a tire on their car and I didn't want to arouse suspicion. After obtaining the requisite information and moving the car out of view of the tire-changing family I didn't observe the fellow in the house bordering GZ until he had observed me....
Knowing that I couldn't stand around photographing cluedo cards and signing the log I went back to the car and drove off to find the nearby trad at the oval. Returning to the reserve from the other side a half hour later allowed a muggle-free replacement of the cache.
I'm going to log a needs maintenance on this because unfortunately the baggy protecting the log book has ripped allowing in plenty of moisture. The log is barely signable and the only thing maintaining it's integrity is it's thickness....

Oh dear, I wish I had an interesting story to tell like in vividrogers' log! I found this cache quickly this morning, not a soul around. The logbook was a little damp but I was still able to write in it.
Well I think I now have everything I need to solve the case! Thank you

Having started on this series with by far the most distant-from-home instance a few weeks ago, it a seemed a good idea to complete by far the closest-to-home while virtually driving right past. God only knows why I haven't completed it already. It turned out to be perhaps my most speedily completed multi ever. I didn't even exit my vehicle at WP1, and then parked very close to the rapidly identified cache. Recording the puzzle clues might have been the most time-consuming bit. As an added bonus I was able put my name immediately after vividrogers' in a logbook for perhaps the 587th time in recent weeks. She'd be forgiven for taking out a restraining order at this point. Thanks LouiseAnn!
I had gone to pay for and pick up an item I had found on the Facebook version of eBay - marketplace. It was reasonably priced , according to my research and I suspected it was listed without being picked up by others due to a badly worded and misspelt listing, which would have eluded searches- it was only chance that I happened upon it and it was something I had been hoping to purchase, should I ever find one for a good price. When I arrived the area looked ok but on approach to the house in question it started to look a bit "murdery" in fact quite a lot murdery. A huge dog noted my approach, loudly. I knocked on the door. On the second attempt I messaged the seller pointing out I was outside at the arranged time. On the third attempt a kid yelled "what do you want?" through the door. Another kid pulled back the curtains and peered at me. I explained why I was there and shortly after hearing he kids yell "mum get up", a man came to the door pulling up his pants after opening it and eyeing me up with narrowed eyes. I explained again that I was there to buy a listed item and he shut the door, then opened the door again with it in his hand. The kids helpfully told me how to use a cable to charge it, I had come prepared with batteries and installed those. I was feeling anxious and fumbly and just wanted out of there, so I handed over the agreed sum and left. If the accomodation hadn't had an air of murderiness about it I wouldn't have given it another thought, but when I looked at it and saw what appeared to be an ID label that had been permanently obscured, I had a sudden concern that I had inadvertently bank rolled a criminal in some way or other. I later googled for news of the item having been stolen and found nothing. I was reassured by a friend that there was probably a perfectly innocent explanation- I must admit I remove all identifiable information from items I donate to the op shop, so slightly comforted by that, I decided I needed a multi to steady my nerves. I knew this was in the approximate vicinity so I drove here and blocked the seller on my phone, vowing to completely re-think the use of these secondhand selling sites.
This multi was just the medicine I needed. Sure of the calculated coordinates, I swiftly found what I was looking for. I needed that... something that was exactly as it "said on the tin" and I was relieved that I could rely on this CO to provide that.

#243 - 5.40pm
A lead in the Mr Boddy case had the Mini-Welders and I arriving here in search of answers. A preliminary enquiry soon had Agent Emeylo executing a straightforward search warrant which uncovered some interesting findings. The rest of the squad (Agent Dynamo and The Blue Minion) investigated the nearby equipment. It was a clinical operation.
But still, there is something a miss - what draws a Professor to this locale? I left with more questions than answers.
The investigation continues...
Thanks LouiseAnn for putting me on the case.
This is Find #4 (of 31) for my Multicache Monthly Challenge.

Having not done any off this series there was no time like the present as I was already in the area. A nice easy find. TFTC
Found @2:49 PM #1916 Great series and another great hide. Camo wearing thin but still well hidden .

Been wanting to start this series for a while now and was in the area so thought i could start it off! Found the initial coordinates easily and spotted the obvious location of the cache from down the road. Looking forward to getting around to all the other clues and solving this murder!
12:21 PM #1781
Out with half of daznjaneo today picking up a few solved puzzles, and components of others. This was first on my hitlist today.
Found nice and quickly. Some of the camo has fallen off, but still ok. Noted the clues. Only one to go now in this series. Yeehah!

The last found today and with a DNF for Scarlet I'll need to return to HQ to see if I can make sense of the clues collected so far. A nice quick find today. Now to find Mr. Boddy...

Our 1st of this series found. Cache in good condition considering the high muggle activity area!
Thanks LouiseAnn.
Thanks LouiseAnn.
Needed to build up our number of Multi caches so completed this cache. Long time since anyone else has found it, but it is still in place. Hope the other Cluedo caches come back on line so we can have a chance of finishing the series.
Have been on the hunt this month for multis to qualify for a monthly multi challenge. Parked at GZ and once I found the right et of numbers, walked over to final GZ. The area was deserted so found the cache quickly. There was alot of rubbish nearby which was ruined this nice playground. After a quick scan of the area, found cache. The camo made me shudder... reminded me of the measles... Eww...
Anyway SL, visited TBs and replaced. TFTC LouiseAnn

Catching up on some late, very late and extremely late logs (400 in all)
I would like to thank LouiseAnn for placing this cache. I always enjoy getting out and about to view this great country of ours and caching allows me to do that. Once at GZ, I sometimes find the cache quickly but sometimes it takes awhile to sus out the well camouflaged hide. Once found, log is signed and the cache is rehidden as found.
Once again thanks LouiseAnn.

We were out with micaparamedic to grab a few multi's for the Monthly Multi challenge challenge.
We enjoyed this one as it was quite quick compared to some we attempted today.
The numbers were gathered and GZ calculated and not long after we were adding our names to the log and are one step closer to finding out what happened to poor Mr Boddy.

Out and about on yet another hunt with geobrother. Thanks for the cache. Nice and cold today but at least there's no rain
After an appointment nearby I had some time up my sleeve before visiting my parents for dinner. Love playing Cluedo and still have some fierce battles with my brother and his kids. Quickly calculated the coordinates and moved to the muggle free GZ. Nearly poked an eye out in the retrieval process though! Thanks LouiseAnn, I'm looking forward to finding the rest of the clues.
Out caching with PantherX today. Decided to hit up some areas we suspected would be quiet on a Sunday. We found 34 on this trip, so was a good day. This was my first find in this series. Shall have to have a look for the other soon.
#1538 @16:03
I was out caching in the wind with Hawley3 today and we had an ambitious goal to clear out the Dandenong and Hallam areas. We found 34 caches all up so it was a pretty successful outing. This is my third find in the Cluedo series so I'm slowly solving the mystery. Still got a few to go though! Thanks for the cache, LouiseAnn!

This was to be my last set of clues to help me solve the mystery. With the numbers noted down I continued on to GZ to discover a muggle on the swing in the nearby playground.. Having come this far I didn't want to leave without the answer I sought, so I went for a walk around the neighbourhood. Upon my return the muggle had left and I was able to quickly discover this neat little container.
Aha, I now knew the identity of the dastardly villain that murdered Mr Boddy! Thanks LouiseAnn for the cache.

Loved the way this quick little multi was constructed. I always enjoyed playing the board game of clue do, and last week did a very different clue do cache in Bendigo. Collected the clues along with echidna 44 TFTC LouiseAnn
This is the last cache to collect clues from before I go to find the body. I loved the game cluedo, and this brought back many memories. I did the other caches much earlier, and look forward to completing the series today. Simple multi, great hide. Thanks LouiseAnn
The first one of this series we have got, can't wait to unravel more of the mystery
Found while completing our cache a day, had worked this out a while ago but was unable to find it in the dark today was much easier to find TFTC
Found on my way home after a bike ride down Hallam trail with Lochb and quiet1_au. No problems with this one although it was quite late and getting dark. Thanks LouiseAnn

Find #1771. Found @ 10:40 on a slight division from a work visit to the area.
Multi find #18 of my Multi-March adventure.
Last time I was here, Professor Plum was not (hmmm, aren't suspects told not to leave the country!?). Today I knew that he would definitely be home. How could I be so sure? After a caching run with the CO for Pi day, an arrangement was made and I was bringing him with me.
After spending a few days locked up in the boot of my car, the Prof proved very helpful in assisting me with my enquiries.
Alright Plum, don't leave town again, it only makes you look guilty!
Took nothing, left nothing, grabbed clues, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache LouiseAnn.

DNF @ 15:45 with youngest geocachelette in tow.
We were on a mission to buy a new kitchen bin when I "accidentally" took a wrong turn and ended up here (a mere 13km away in the completely opposite direction).
A quick photo of the info, followed by some calculations and GZ was obtained.
After a pleasant stroll we discovered a muggle infestation within sight of GZ, so we went to some nearby playground equipment to wait them out. After what seemed like an age, they moved on (slowly).
We invaded GZ and had a good search around to find... no cache. I did locate the mounting mechanism (and took a photo). I've contacted the CO and she confirmed that I found it gone.
I'm guessing that the perpetrator of the Boddy murder knew that I was closing in, and has decided to cover his or her tracks. A dastardly deed indeed!
Thanks anyway LouiseAnn.

I love that this series is not only places on Plum St etc, this one even has Plum Power involved! Awesome! What's even better about this cache is the playground near to the starting point; I placated the geotoddler there first, went and collected the information at the start then made a quick find. Cache could use some extra camo attached (there's enough still there to give me the impression and it is a ripper idea!) but was exactly where it should be. TFTC LouiseAnn, I'm loving this series.
A really cute cache, and my first of the series. Professor Plum cracked under the pressure and gave up the information pretty quickly (even if he did talk about Miss Scarlet a bit too warmly for comfort). I look forward to interrogating more of the suspects and finding out who disposed of Mr Boddy. Thanks very much LouiseAnn: you've given me some technical ideas for my own series.
Having interrogated Miss Scarlett and White last week Professor Plum was the last on my list of suspects. After a fruitless hunt at Monash, I decided to keep driving to see what information Plum would provide. Arriving at GZ, I felt in here and there...before realising that this was a multi! Collected the required information and moved off to where I suspected he was hiding. Professor Plum gave up the required information easily and I allowed him to return home. With all information gathered, I now had the suspect, weapon and location, so headed off to search for Mr Boddy. Thanks for another in this great little series, LouiseAnn.
A quick find on the way to the CITO event today. People drove off from close to GZ just as I got there and left the area clear for a quick find, thanks.
Find #355
I've been investigating this case for a couple of weeks now. Geobaby and I headed out in a south-westerly direction on a Saturday morning to have a chat with Professor Plum about his movements on the night in question. After a power surge we made the find easily enough. Geobaby retired to the swings to mull over the case and I added this new information to my growing database. The net is closing in and I'm hoping to bring this dreadful business to a conclusion over the next few weeks. Thanks for the cache and the series LouiseAnn.

Thank god I had my partner in crime today about to give up when kenneallykrew spotted it. TFTC.
Dunko and I found ourselves with an opportunity for some late arvo and evening caching today.
So after collecting Dunko we set off, along our route we found all caches we attempted without any issue, logged them and replaced as found. We enjoyed the types of hides and cache’s some we had to wait a short time for people to move on but that’s how it goes.
Our thanks to LouiseAnn for the effort and placement TNLN SL

Slink1 and I found an opportunity to sneak out for some late in the day caching. So after mounting up we set off on our way to pick up a few in the local area. We were fortunate enough to find all caches we attempted without too much difficulty, logged and replaced them as we found them. We had a great outing and enjoyed the fun. TNLN TFTC SL.
A quick calculation of GZ and then found it when coming from the right direction. Thanks for the cache, our first in the series.
Went out today to get the two in this area, the other not found , which is making this a tough multi to crack, now that is a total of two out of the puzzle. I will keep my eye on them see if they are up and about soon. TFThisC , this one has a wonderful camo in a quiet place and the log was signed and back in its safe little nook

Find # 3341
Streak: 98 days
I was on my final day off of my holidays and despite the hot forecast for the day, I decided to head out towards the Dandenong and towards Berwick area and find as many caches as I could before the evening event :Ground Control to Major Tom"
Continuing on a bit of a loop towards the event, this one was the next on the list. I had gathered the numbers and worked out GZ last week, but due to some muggle kids playing right on GZ, I left it for another time. Today, after a short search, the cache was found and the clues for the final were gathered. Great camo on the container.
Thanks to LouiseAnn for the cache.

Heading off on a road trip through South Gippsland and the first stop was Dandenong to check out a new letterbox. On checking for nearby caches before leaving, I discovered that there were two of the Cluedo caches were on the way.
I stopped off for this cache first...grabbing the required number and then working out the location of GZ...which wasn't all that far away. Braving the weather, I jumped out of the car and set out looking for the cache. It didn't take long to find...partly because some of the camouflage is missing.
Thanks LouiseAnn for this cache and this fun series.

I stopped off for this cache first...grabbing the required number and then working out the location of GZ...which wasn't all that far away. Braving the weather, I jumped out of the car and set out looking for the cache. It didn't take long to find...partly because some of the camouflage is missing.
Thanks LouiseAnn for this cache and this fun series.

Parked at the Plum-pole, ran the numbers an took the short walk to GZ. Looked from a couple of different angles, but some of the cache cammo is coming off the lid, so the cache was not too difficult to spot - even in the dark. TFTC.
Stop 2 on my journey to 1600!!
having begun this series yesterday on my 31st Day with the White Cluedo Cache, it only seemed fitting that being in the area I needed to retrieve this one.
Like yesterday's, the information and final coordinates were found nice and quick, and leaving the car in its parked spot by WP1, I journeyed the short distance to the final!!
I spotted it quickly, but it took a little to get in to retrieve it!!

Had time to kill and thought a multi would just do it. Cluedo is one of my fav games as the answer is always different. Looking forward to my next Dande visit to get some more clues. Loved the camo, although some has come off. TFTH
It was only a look at caches on the map for the 31/31 challenge that I realised every day i go past this cache. The other day i stopped off for the clues and today I found the cache in the first place I looked.
With clues noted I look forward to the series and a possible solving of a crime.
Our thanks to LouiseAnn for the cache

Nice little bit of rain never slowed a real geocacher down.
Decoded through the car window and a quick run for the prize, that wasn't so bad was it, Naaah.

Doh! I failed to read the cache description properly (double Doh!). with this new found information (The cache description) I will stop off on the way home (if it is not raining)and get the required information (take pen, take pen).

Find #454
I made my way here by mistake. I was planning on doing another multi that starts in this general area after my physio appointment and it appears that I pressed the wrong one on my TomTom. Oh well, I would have gotten to this one eventually. [:o)]
The area was mercifully quiet and free from bad guys and I obtained the numbers from Wp1 from inside my car. I then calculated GZ and though "Oh no, a playground." It turned out alright as the entire street was still deserted.
A quick find with some nice camo, log signed and game cards photographed and I was on my way.

Cute camouflage. Good one for the kids to do and nice nearby playground to play in too! TFTC
On a maintenance run and grabbed this cache whilst nearby. Pulled up at WP1 and had GZ worked out in no time and cache was soon in hand. Loved the cammo on the container!!
Thanks for the cache LouiseAnn

Better luck on my second attempt at this one, having confirmed the cache location I was able to search without muggles hampering me, and the cache being returned the wrong way around helped (the camouflage is wearing off a little too) so a quick grab and casual log nearby to gather the final clues I needed to locate the body I'm hoping to have a crack at that one tomorrow. TFTC
Found this one tonight around midnight but still counting it for today. Initially I went the wrong way to find the cache and then it took a while to locate this sneakily hidden cache. Collected clues, signed log and returned cache to its hide. Another one down in this series - almost there now.
Thanks for the cache LouiseAnn.
Thanks for the cache LouiseAnn.
I hooked up with CamBendy for this one. Initially he didn't like the coords but once he lugged them into his GPS he was much happier. Travelled to GZ and made a quick find by torchlight.
Thanks LouiseAnn.
Thanks LouiseAnn.

Find #600
Find 2 of 16 for the night.
Out for the night with the Physics Teacher, happy to have another leave pass to get a few more caches.
On the agenda for tonight is to knock off a few puzzles around my old stomping grounds and just have a generally good old knock up time. We're also on a mission to find out what happened to Mr Body.
A bit of a drive down from our first cache of the night. Arrived quickly at the published coordinates, gathered the required info and hoofed it to ground zero, where Physics made the quick find of the nicely camouflaged cache.
One more to go and then we'll know where the body is buried!!!
Thanks for the cache and the fun Louise!

Found at 15:41
The last stop for todays Cluedo run with all but one now found. A nice quick find again at thus one while using the active cover to avoid the nearby muggles. I tried to work out the final with the info I've got but I came up with 6 plausible locations.
Thanks again LouiseAnn for the cache and the clever series. Looks like I'll have to revisit Scarlet after all.

Found @ 4:45pm, find # 2332
As the BODY is now out there to be found, I hought that I should collect a few more clues so that I can solve the crime.
After crunching the numbers, I soon found myself at GZ and with a quick search the cache was located.
Thanks to LouiseAnn for placing this cache.

Checked out the area, no police, didn't get shot, so the hunt is back on. Looks like next trip had better be with a repair kit. The cache doesn't look like it did when I put it out
I am disabling this cache for a week, as last night there was a shooting in the area, and I have been told there are police in the area investigating. Rather than risk anyone having a run in unnecessarily, I'll disable the cache. Don't worry, it will be back soon!
We found this cache today at 4:45pm as the 8th of 10 on a Winters Caching Afternoon. Cool, a new and fun caching series that we didn't know existed and stumbled over one of the preliminary caches today. We have our clues and we are now on the hunt. Followed the link to the final cache though and it is still coming up as unpublished. This one marks our 992nd multi-cache find on our quest for 1,000 multis. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.
This cache was found during a cache run with Blacklegend, Trailrunning and Rebel Acts (TDC). A nice variety of caches found with some really nice hides. With the weather a lot better today, with even a few breaks of sunshine, we headed out to join Rebel for his 10,000 th find. Congratulations and well done Eric - a huge milestone to acieve. Thanks go to the cache owners for the caches we found today.
Todays run was a lot "less wet" than the previous day. The Demoliton Crew today were together having a blast of a day caching, and to celebrate Rebel Acts 10,000 th find. Congratulations Eric, awesome stuff. With better weather, it was fun to clean up caches in an area we have been working on, on and off, for some time. My thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining their hides, without them, we would have none to find.
This is going to be the longest game of cluedo I have ever played, we collected the clues and off we went, I thought I better get the 10K found so people can stop asking "have you found 10k yet. Thanks LouiseAnn for the cache.
We are slowly working our way through this series, and this one proved to be a very easy find. Nice camo too. Thanks

After a wet caching run yesterday I was glad to be out on a day that had some sun and only a few light rain showers. TDC members had gathered to take Rebel Acts across the 10,000 cache find line. It was a fantastic day, and to capture Eric pass the milestone, was a great highlight. In typical form, Eric made no fuss of it, no grand event to celebrate it. Eric is just happy to be out and about collecting caches, just one more. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing and maintaining the caches we collected today.

I found the info at WP1 (second time around - first time I got the wrong numbers getting the information mixed up with Cluedo-Peacock...) I tried to search at GZ but one of the neighbours kept poking his head over the fence (to spit or something - ugh) and then after going for a walk to have another go a couple of muggles came by so I eventually gave it away (in the hope of getting a hint to the hide to make a safe grab)...
Arrived at WP1 to find the needed info. Quickly calculated the GZ and rushed to the location. After searching the location provided by GPSr finding zip, we expanded our search to find the well hidden cache. TNLNSL. TFTC. KeMs
On a lunch run with Spiffy- and found the clue. Got the GZ and made the long journey to the cache. Impressive detail on the camo. TFTC.
