Meet lonely Bob Ashwood, Victoria, Australia
By Sharnedog123 on 24-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4EY67

Bob has moved on

Renwa82 and I spent a great deal of time looking for Bob and unfortunately couldn't find him

Went and had a thorough search for bob... Alas he was not in a talkative mood. With maxx matthews

Will replace soon

Unfortunately we didn't get to say hello to Bob today as we couldn't locate him. Not sure if we were being blind or if Bob just didn't like the look of us and hid. Maybe he has crept off to another location, I hope not. Will be watching out for him though and maybe we'll meet him another day.

McWillid and I had an idea of what we were looking for by reading previous logs but we couldn't really find anything. We moved on to another cache by the same CO and came back here after finding it but still had no luck. TFTC anyway.

Was great to meet bob today with Fuzzej, but he was speechless! Thanks for a cool cache.

Met Bob today and loved saying hi to him. Was with Ryanofoz and we both wrote down our visit to Bob. Some TB's i had visited him to, sadly none in there to take. TFTC a favourite point from me

Have you ever tried turtle style? I just did

And bobs ya turtle

Found it with the grandkids

TFTC

TFTC. We love Bob!

Had a lot of fun finding this one! Bob made my friend jump because he thought it moved.

Found it! Disappointed that neither of the trackables were here though'

Found it

Love your effort and variety of your caches . Bobs just fine . TnLn. Thanks Sharnedog123 .

Suscoe's 17th find of 29 for today as we wandered around the Eastern suburbs.
It was a wet start to the day but the rain turned to drizzle and then it stopped with a heavy sky and no sun for the day.
Not many folks out walking today with the weather the way it was.
A nice walk here and this little chap was soon located.
We had a chat and brightened him up for a moment or two.
Thanks to Sharnedog123 for bringing us here and for the nice camo.

Great hide! TFTC:)

Your cache scared the fuck out of us!! Awesome. TFTC.

Bob was soo cute! Very good hide. TFTC

Happy bob

TFTC!

Took 2 visits and read all the tips but so happy to have found bob

Smart but to easy nice ornament

Made friends with Bob on the way to work this morning.

I did notice that Bob's not really that lonely. He's already made friends with one of the locals.

Cache is nice and dry, TNLN TFTC.

I came back and had another look after finding the last cache in the sewer. I had an idea what I could be looking for this time. Quick find, poor Bob is a little wet inside but the log is nice and dry... TFTC

Yey I got to meet Bob today. I am sure he was glad of my visit on this cold blowy morning with just a few dog walkers in the distance and the lonely croak of a frog in the nearby wetland.
Thanks Sharnedog123

Yay! We found it second time round. Impressive cache. Thanks for the fun.

I was in the area so thought I'd stop by to stay Hi to bob. TFTC

Very nice hide TFTC

Very good hide TFTC

Out and about again with my geobuddy joe joe thanks for the cache.

Another trip home from the city i decided to try out some new bike paths and collect the caches along the way. Cheers

Poor Bob. Hidden away back here. We said hello and signed his log. Another Sharnedog special! Thanks!

Ha! Fantastic! Cheers!

Haha awesome fined

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Find # 2934
3:08 pm Mon 25 Aug 2014
I had some free time this afternoon so decided to try my luck along Scotchman's Creek and into Malvern. A few new caches had appeared since my last foray along there.
I love caches like this that make you chuckle when you find them. I found one recently in Albury using the same hide. I like your approach to caching Sharne, you're a credit to the game. Have another fav point.
Thanks for placing this cache Sharnedog123

Found on a perfect Sat morning. No rain recently, so stayed dry. Thanks

After our 29th find there layed BOB! We got bushwhacked for a few wet minutes because the coordinates were out by a few metres. It was a great and interesting hide.
Later and HAPPY GEOCACHING!

Great fun. Very clever.

Came looking for ol' Bob with my two geokids early this afternoon and after a short but pleasant walk to GZ Geoson #1 made the find.

Fantastic container, the kids were well impressed, and a great little hide; one of those "if you're looking it's obvious, but otherwise it's inconspicuous" ones.

Signed the log, dipped some trackables and then we headed for the other side of the creek, to check out a certain non-hollow log that we'd heard about...

Thanks for another great cache, Sharnedog123.

Geodad found Bob and he's made two more friends. Tftc! We had a lovely walk through this park today.

Now a friend of Lonely Bob and what a nice chap he is. TFTC.

Good camouflage walked past it a few times before finding it

You will need to hunt around a bit before you find it. I was quiet surprised when i saw it at first

Find 1143 at 22:18. I was out caching with Burge, Scarecrow_01 and Spartacus Al tonight. This was find number 5 of 13. It was only a short walk from the previous find to this one and although it took a little longer to find, we were soon on our way.

Thanks for the cache, Sharnedog123! Keeping us busy tonight!

Good tip lower your eyes. Great container!

A quick stumble in the dark and then we found bob

What a cool little cache. After a few minutes we had the cache in hand and signed the log. Nice little park. Tftc tnln sl

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

While searching for cache my junior hunter lost his toy monitor lizard. If any body finds this monitor while searching for "Old Bob" could they kindly leave it with Bob and leave message when found.
Cheers.

Wow! Just about to chuck it in when I lowered my eyes. TFTC

That was such an intense find, liked the container. ^_^
Thanks for the cache!

Steve & Steph, Steph & Steve,,, spent some time with bob )

Found by Facitman at 13:18
Well isn't he a frisky guy. I wandered in to Bob's zone and as soon as he saw me he tried to run away. It was a short chase but I wore him down and soon had a logbook ready to sign. This is a nice bit of park and bike path so it's not surprising that Bob has been here soooo long.
Thanks Sharnedog123

Bit too hard to locate

Bob is looking pretty good for his age. Think he's made quite a few new friends too Would have loved to gave taken him home, he looks so cute.

Our gps was telling us gz was everywhere. we searched for a while and just as we were about to leave i spot a likely hiding spot and behold, the long search was worth it. This is a great cache and it deserve much more fav points

Thanks sharnedog123

Dropped trackable off

Bob was such a joy to find! This cache is definitely worth every favorite point so far, and then some. TFTC!!

After meeting the Sewer Surprise, Geo-LMP and I decided to come meet Bob! He was a little friendlier than the sewer surprise but still a surprise! Nicely done. TNLS SL TFTC (NO bugs in cache)

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 Sharnedog123 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.

Had me confused for a while but found bob"s hideout

Lonely Bob is very slow

Found @ 12:57am, find # 3074.
Another Friday night to the early hours of the morning, outing with Biggles1024.
We took a stroll along the path, as we got close we started to circle around GZ and then headed off the path as we were going away from it.
After a short bush walk, we found ourselves at GZ, I moved a rock and there was Bob, looking back at me. He coughed up the log which was signed, then we left Bob to be lonely once again.
Thanks to Sharnedog123 for placing this cache.

Find #1018

Out with Stemicmitsar for our usual Friday night/Saturday morning caching run. We targeted caches that had proven troublesome in the recent past either because we couldn't even start looking because of the presence of muggles or because we needed some special equipment.

I had to chuckle to myself when this cache was found. It is in no danger of blowing away.

SL TFTC

Our 8248th overall find.

Another week in Melbourne and I decided to head out and find a few caches in the local area. As usual I only looked at caches with more than 10 favorite points and when I spotted this one I thought it was a cute little cache.

Thanks Sharnedog123 for the cache.

After coming here for a while, I have finally found him.

TFTC

Find #417

Went for a walk along this trail with the geodog this arvo and popped by here to say hi to Bob. Still has a smile on his face so not too lonely. Tftc

Had us looking for a while. Loved it when we eventually found it. Bob is our favorite creature in the reserve. Found there were no trackables in here. TFTC

What a fantastic fellow Bob is. My son would absolutely love this guy. His kind are his favourite animal. It took me a little while to find him as the GPS kept spinning me around but well worth the persistence. Great cache that deserves a favourite from me. TFTC.

Awwww cute! Hope Bob has some friends in the forest and isn't too lonely. Great container. TFTC.

GPS co-ords taking me everywhere but eventually found Bob. He was happy for another visitor!

Out with the geokids (Hawkeye and Fairydust) between errands and if they were getting three books then Dad was getting three caches. This was number 2.

As we approached I said "That looks suspicious" and it was. The kids were very excited about Bob. We signed the log and headed on for one more.

thanks Sharnedog123.

What a great cache container. Thanks. Geokid and I couldn't find it, but geo-dad did a great job and walked right up to it!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Out hunting for TB's to take away on my holiday with the family. No TB but like this one! At least he had one object to keep him company! TFTC SL

We nearly parked our bikes on top of Bob! Poor Bob.

My sidekick left a couple of those supermarket animal cards, which seemed appropriate.

Ohhh love lonely Bob....wish I could him home ..he s o cute...favourite

I loved meeting BOB! and it was good hiding spot tftc

Love an imaginative container! Beautiful spot too. Tftc

Found this one today. Bob was deciding to be a bit shy and it took a while to find him to say hello. I love the cache container and the creativity of this cache so I am giving it a favourite point. Signed log today but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache Sharnedog123.

my second cache for the morning,
what a lovely surprise, a fav point because I love the container,

thanks sharnedog123 [:x]

Dropped by to say hi to Bob. He looked happy to see me. Signed the log and popped him back to enjoy his surroundings. TFTC

Lonely Bob was happy to meet us.
TFTH. Signed log.

This was an excellent cache container, and I was very pleased to be able to meet Ron.
He already had other company as there was plenty of birdlife to be heard today.
This is definitely a favourite.
Thanks to Sharnedog123 for the cache.

Nice and easy find before some maccas, TFTC!

Nice quick find, thanks for the cache,

Good surprise nice fun

Bob is the T-man! Found a pen nearby and gave it to him

Found on a visit from Queensland. Was lovely to meet Bob. Have left a trackable to continue its journey. This will keep Bob company till the next visitor. TFTC

Nice area and nice fun hide. Thanks for the cache.

Bob is gorgeous! Geomum and I enjoyed meeting him and having a chat. I think we cheered him up and he may feel a little less lonesome. I left a shampoo and conditioner and took a frog. Tyfc and introducing me to Bob! ^_^

Went with Geo-daughter to visit Bob.
We fed him eraser, domino, cream sachet, shampoo+conditioner and bead. Left him having a nice contented afternoon sleep. Thanks for the tb Bob. A real pleasure to have met. Tyfc.

Bob had his eyes open. I popped a TB inside for his lunch. Thanks Sharnedog123.

Gave Bob a pat, but think he was sleeping. TFTC

Found at 15:20
I was on my way home when I find myself not too far away from here. A cricket game going on nearby meant the first cache I was going to try was not on. Parked at the end if the track and made my way to this lovely little oasis where I quickly located and visited lonely Bob. Aftersigning his log, I tucked Bob back in his hiding spot and headed off.
Thanks Sharnedog123 for the cache. A fav point for the fun.

1st find of a nice drive caching the eastern suburbs, bob nearly eluded us.
