While the muggle missus caught up with a friend in Penrith this afternoon after an appointment with her doctor, I took the opportunity to head up the hill into virgin territory in order to get a much needed caching fix after 3 weeks of abstinence.

I thought I was going to have to log a NM here. After rummaging around GZ for a few minutes, I was starting to wonder whether I was on a wild goose cache but then I finally came upon a lone baggie and a lid ... but despite a bit more rummaging around, no container! I signed the log at a nearby conveniently placed picnic table before using a battered old mint tin I had in the geomobile, to reassemble the cache into a usable state and return it to its place of residence. Then, when I went to put some camo on top of it, I got the surprise of my life when I found that I actually had the missing component in my hand. I think I may even have had it in hand earlier when searching for the cache so it's quite possible that I was the one who separated the 2 halves. Anyway, all's well that ends well ... I have my smiley and the cache is in good shape, though perhaps not quite hidden as well as it was originally.

Thanks for placing this cache here and for the memorable experience it provided me with whitemushroom.

Looking for something to fill in time whilst not studying, it was suggested that I finally get around to logging THOSE caches long found but never logged. Some even have funny stories of being visited not only once or twice, but a few even have had a third or fourth visit before realising I've been there done that. The date is as near to the correct day the cache was found. So sorry for the generic and late log. JABs.

I continued my walk around Glenbrook coming along Moore Street to the bowling greens and into Whitton Park.
I headed over to GZ and checked for bowlers, no only one, obviously very keen to be there practising alone so not interested in me.

The clue was good, but what a strange direction the item mentioned was facing - no one would see it.
I spotted the camo, clever, but then had to wait for a dog walking muggle who was returning from the off leash area.
He was soon gone and I swooped on the cache before anyone else came by. The log was signed and some TBs visited then everything was replaced as found and I continued my walk.

TFTC 3rd find so far today.
Cache # 1926

#501 Fourth of twenty three finds on a days caching around Glenbrook. Nice easy find. TFTC

#3295 (4 of 7 today)

The Geowife is having morning tea with a mutual friend, so I decided to head way out west for a few caches. Decided on another return visit to Lapstone and Glenbrook. Went for eight and found seven - although the first one took a while and was followed by the DNF on a multi. The good news was I got home before peak hour.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Decided to finish the afternoon with a string of caches along the highway. Parked at the oval and walked past the club to here.
A quick find - nice camo - just checked the right thing first up. Completed signing duties and replaced. Then headed west to my next target.

01-Jun-16
Out on a caching run this morning with a target number of finds to be made. This was the third of ten finds on the morning where my ninth find will be the 1000th cache find.
I walked from Helter shelter back past my car to get to GZ here. I looked in where I thought it would be but found nothing but as I moved around I kick something and the cache was revealed. Not sure it was meant to be where I found it so after signing the log I replaced it in a location where you cannot kick it.
 
07-May-16
Nice. TFTC
 
20-Apr-16
Great camouflage searched through the tree for a while with then realising it was a waste of time hahah tftc
 
19-Apr-16
After visiting an old work colleague I found 11 caches with one DNF before heading home.
I had a quick look 2 caches ago but muggles in the picnic shed curtailed my efforts. I returned, checked all the places, including the sign, and then inspected something that I had noticed earlier and made the find.
TFTC.
 
13-Apr-16
Not sure how many people actually see the sign facing that way, seems pointless! A lovely quiet spot with no muggles. Great camo. SL TFTC Smile

Back in the area for a visit to my son who lives in Glenmore Park and after finding my last Heart Series cache it was time to find a few more while I am here.
As I passed this guy earlier it was time to stop and have a look so after finding a safe pull over spot and then a short wander through the park I searched in the obvious location and eventually located the well hidden cache.
The outer container has been wet but the plastic bag has kept the log fairly dry so all good for a while.
Thanks whitemushroom for placing these caches for us to find.
 
04-Dec-15
Nice quick grab on our way back to Sydney. TFTC Big Grin
 
04-Dec-15
After having a good poke around and declaring that I couldn't find anything, dad had a closer inspection and soon had CIH ...as I have said in the past (numerous times!), if it was a black snake it would'a bit me! >_< TFTC!
 
16-Nov-15
Nice easy find. I had the whole park to myself.
 
18-Oct-15
there was only a couple of people using the playground and from where they were sitting they couldn't see what I was up to luckily as I wandered around peering into the grass before finding the cache. i'd already looked there! glad I went back for a second crack. there was also some little corella's and a white cockatoo enjoying an afternoon feed on some grass seeds.
tftc white mushroom I didn't make it to your sion series after all, I got lost and ended up somewhere else, will be back for them another day.
 
04-Oct-15
Very disappoint to find that someone had left it open and very visible
 
14-Sep-15
Had to go to the comments section. Photo was misleading. My first find. Awesome thank you.
 
30-Aug-15
Found with Jimmy and Shuckypoo. Very cool camo! Clever! Smile TFTC
 
15-Aug-15
Clever hide. I almost walked away, but poked around just a little bit more.
 
08-Aug-15
Thanks

#390 I think this is the forth time I have come to this park and the first time there haven't been people walking their dog in the area. Well walked over to the sign and gave it a quick disregard. I didn't have the time to give it a proper disregard then to work of finding the cache. Started with the obvious but that appeared to be wrong so widened the search area but still nothing. Just about to give up when I put my hand on the cache. Signed the log and replaced. I have seen some interesting hides in the 6 months I have been doing this sport and this is one of the few that has given me the "D'OH" moment. Thanks for the cache
 
25-Jul-15

Took some looking but got there.
Tftc Smile
 
01-Jun-15
Very clever hide. Been digging in that darn tree hole for 5 minutes before i realised it was pointless. The a-ha moment came when PirateLinda spotted the cache - D'oh!
 
01-Jun-15
Doh. Both clanbeckett and I touched the cache several times before realizing what it was. Favorite point from me as well. Thanks for the cache.

Found it on a chilly late Autumn Sunday while in the area with the dog. No one in the park but lots of bowlers nearby, TFTC
