Be Prepared #2 Creswick, Victoria, Australia
By Fergzter on 09-Apr-13. Waypoint GC49G9M

Time for this one to go. I did try and scout out a new location but none will avail itself that is suitably secluded. I might work on a spiritual successor as some point in the future. Thanks to all who found it.

I havent forgotten about this one. However it will need to be relocated in the near future to another hiding spot. Thanks everyone for being patient.

Seems to be missing. Will replace next time I am up there.

a dnf for us

Found this afternoon with BJ. TNLN. TFTC

We headed out to Daylesford for lunch and a day of a few relaxing geocaches.
This one had been solved since it was published and we hadn't been in the area not with somewhere to be yet.
We parked close to GZ and found the little cache close after.
Thanks for the puzzle Fergzter.

Found with Mum & Dad.
We went to Daylesford for lunch for Dads birthday.
On the way we found this geocache.
Thanks for hiding it.

Solved this about a month ago and was out this way this morning with 5 year old geokid. Never knew there was a camp in Creswick north. Thanks for the history lesson too. Nice easy find

We were in Ballarat up from Geelong to do some caching, and this one was looking good and having already worked this one out, we went for the hunt, after a bit of searching we soon had this one in hand, we signed the log and returned to the geo-mobile, Thanks for the cache McAddies.

Thanks for the great cache it was interesting to learn a few things about the guiding movement in the process. It took me absolute ages to research one of the answers, maybe if I had read on a bit further it would have saved me a lot of time. [:o)]

Found with ST37E

Found with Achoemma on a quick trip around Ballarat to pick up a few unfound caches, nice to pick up another nice and easy Mystery Cache

On an idle afternoon some weeks ago I solved Be Prepared #1 and 2 so this was my first chance to grab a final and after a bit of a drive around I found myself alongside your cache.
Duly signed and returned with featherdown.
Nice to see the scouting and guiding movement is still active.
Thanks

The nearest I got to the movement was a stint in the Sea Scouts many years ago.
A good puzzle easily worked out with some research.

Being a Girl Guide I enjoyed this cache and was able to answer the questions very quickly. This is were i did my leader training so nice to come back, at least to the boundary fence!!TFTC.

On a day out caching with LumpyJRB have a Girl Guide I thought work out the answer would be easy but the response I got was 'I should know that'. We soon worked it out and made a quick find. TFTC.

I do like a cryptic puzzle and thanks for this cache Fergzter. Got the right coords after bit of research. In company of 3sagimagi and exciting first find to the crazy cat women. CI 888 KR and CO orange big cat.

Out caching with wakkatoo, co-ords put us a touch out- my fault! After the geocachers dance, located and signed. TFTC

Found with Emily63 and geokids. A quick find once we expanded a little past the GZ the gps had us at.

Suscoe's 8th find of 19 for the day as we were waiting for the event.
Nice bit of puzzle solving and then the drive was nice.
Located the cache fairly quickly.
Log signed and all done.
Thanks to fergzter for another interesting caching experience.

Another find for the Sisterhood of the Cargo Pants team while out caching in Creswick. The puzzle was solved by The Morris prior to heading out today. TFTC Fergzter.

Puzzle completed by The Morris before our assault on the Creswick caches. Found with the SCP. TFTC

Found on a day in Creswick with the SCP. It was very rainy which made the GPSrs jump about and we hadn't realized there was so many nanos.
This one was a nice puzzle, nothing ambiguous and the hide was right where it should have been - always a good thing with a puzzle.

With the help of loumartay

Dropped by for a welfare check on this cache. All is well with the log. However I will drop in some more swag next time I am near.

Very wet and rainy day. Found with Geomum
Great clues but one I didn't know the answer of, even though I have been a girl guides for many years.

found while out caching with Misschief18 on a drizzly miserable day. A nice easy find.

Helped with calculations last night, so went out today with the 2 Wanderers. It was interesting finding out about the Guides and Scouts. An easy find. Left TB.

Find No. 393. Found with FUF009 at 3.32pm.

After a quick trip into Ballarat it was then off to Creswick to do some cache hunting with our dog Penny on board.

FUF009 had done the ground work with the puzzle although we did check his answers out for ourselves. Having trouble in finding the answer to one he had to come and ask us for our help. Finally the answer was found and we had the correct information that we needed to find this cache.

Nearing the end of our caching day this was a quick and easy find.

Took platypus pin - Left orange tiger. TFTC

Find #700 @1532

Found With Tyred n Cranky
After a quick trip into Ballarat it was off to Creswick to hunt down a few caches.

Well this one will be a memorable cache. The night before I had to enlist the help of team Tyred n Cranky to help with the puzzle as there was one factor that I could not find on the internet (After 2 hours of searching ).

Mrs Tyred n Cranky had spent about 30 min looking but could not find it either. then Mr Tyred n Cranky had a go and after about a 10 min search he found the missing information. and the checker gave us the all clear.

Took Car Keyring
Left Puffer fish rubber

Found by Mary & David at 1015. Another enjoyable puzzle for the engineer. The difference this time is that we also found the cache! Our thanks to Fergzter.

Found on a "Sunday Drive"
Drove to starting point and googled the answers then a little drive to GZ and a water stop for the dog.
Thanks for the cache, Highrod from Ballarat.

Evince was happy with me, so after riding today I stopped to find this cross it off my list.
I enjoyed working with google to answer the questions and hope to find the others in the series on my next visit to Ballarat.

Found whilst staying at the Guide property for the weekend with friends. Between us we knew all the answers - all good Girl Guides! TFTC It's good to see a series devoted to Guide and Scout properties.

We had the puzzle worked out a couple of weeks ago but today was our first opportunity to find. A good spot for a cache. Thanks for bringing us here.

...second visit. This time I did my homework first and found the cache relatively easily. Thanks.

It would help if i knew how to use the gps properly......i wasn't zoomed in close enough and was looking around the wrong !@#$/^ for the first 10 mins!

My first puzzle cache, and its also an FTF! Wasn't 100% sure of some of my answers as evince doesn't seem to work for me, but it worked out anyway. Took can opener, left Zulu ethnic brooch.
