For what's meant to be a friendly game is just not. This cache can join the list to come. Sick of being questioned, sick of being insulted, sick of being treated like an idiot. So I'm not placing caches for people to find.
No further logs accepted. Cache removed.

Looked at where it could be...jeez.. I am not that agile ... may fall in... anyway.. found it. Thanks for the cache!

Chasing unloved caches today with NSD. Surprisingly quick and easy find for a change. .

All good with the cache.

TFTC cantcacheus

This one had been impossible to find before but a quick find today tftc

Don't fall in lol, another quick find.

TFTC!

This almost took a while. Found with 3 musketeer

Sneaky spot, not where I expected.

Found this cache together with Black Flag Crew and RoddyC after an event. Was a nice little walk together with friends.

Now had some love with, Mr and Mrs Roddy C, Nadine 1989 and Black Flag 001. TFTC.

Found with Mr and Mrs Roddy C, Nadine 1989, patrol 14 and Black Flag 78.

After The Hunting Rabbit's Event nearby, a small group of us decided to add a few extra caches to the day's catch.

This one was just up the track from the Needle in a Haystack, so just a quick walk with THR, Nadine1989, Team Benders and Patrol14. Very tricky hide, I must say. It would probably have taken us a lot longer if there weren't so many eyes to narrow GZ down.

Found at 2.25pm on 12th March 2016. TFTC.

Not there?

Nothing attached to what we figure it should have been attached to

Cache is still there waiting to be found

Sneaky, sneaky! TFTC

Out and about today looking for caches to up my difficultly average.
But there is a new letterbox cache.
Now I have to find a few harder ones to get my average up for the day after 2 easy ones. [^]

no luck here.

Spent quite a while and looked at the other logs but it didn't help

Log changed

Quick find. Log is full. TFTC

Log is full. There is room for another but I did not have this type on me.
Co-ords were good for my GPS. took me to right spot.

The day before I, Dr Hunting Rabbit, am meant to be leaving Australia and what do I spend my day doing? Geocaching with WTF21!!!

After a morning of caching with Crew153 and a quick lunch WTF21 and Dr Hunting Rabbit teamed up for one final afternoon of caching. Our goal was to clear out the Magnesium Drive series.

After the fireys arrived and had the bushfire under control we moved on down the line. This one took a bit of searching but thankfully WTF21 knew right where to look and had the cache in hand pretty quickly. Logbook signed and we were off to the next one.

TFTC Cantcacheus2014

Out and about with The Hunting Rabbit this afternoon before he heads off back to Canada.
I was keen to try and clean out the area around Magnesium Drive as I had tried unsuccessfully on a couple of the tricky ones previously.

Made a quick find this time - trouble is I'm sure I checked the same spot the first time I was here.

TFTC.

Jondan2 and i looked for ages so couldnt find

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 3:55pm. That took quite some time. I had to go back and check a place that was searched earlier. There it was; well hidden. It was not where we had spent most of our time looking. TFTC

2nd attempt at this cache today. Today we walked straight up to it and grabbed it straight away. Tftc

Out caching with Remsjw, bennyboppers, Lisylou, Misssusan and Jemilalucy. Easy find this time. We're sure it wasn't there last time! Anyway, glad to have a smilie for this one too!

I made a quick find this time with the tough mothers!

After a clue from co we found straight away don't know how we missed it first time

Easy walk up for this one today after a no find last visit tough mothers.

Has appeared more visible. Fairly easily located this time.

A bit of luck moo73 walkes up and said there it is

TFTC. #365. A lot of luck and walked straight up to this and plucked it out. Very colourful walk on the way.

Love being present when someone is trying to find a cache you have already found, especially one who isn't asking for hints but happy to do a real find. Bought a lovely smile to my face and some genuine inside laughter. Now I know what we looked like while finding.

This was another cache that DiamondJs had found but left me to my devices. The GPS was a little jumpy, but I was not going to go anywhere near the drain... so much rubbish! So thinking logically, I needed to think where would be safe place to put it away from all that rubbish and be safe. A little touch in here.. and bingo! TFTC Cantcacheus2014

TFTC - Hahaha when I got to GZ looked in one spot straight away then thought of the name and looked elsewhere, after 15-200 mins moved onto the next cache with no yellow Smilie added then after not finding next one also I txted the CO, and he helped with both went back To THE FIRST SPOT! I looked and their it was and why didn't I see u before????
Oh well yellow Smilie now hehe THANKS CO

Another tricky one! TFTC

Had us looking for a little while... Don't go off GPS...

Like others, I sat back & thought about it and it was an easy find. nice one

Another cache on the trail with Pedal power14 and this turned out to be a quick find. Mrs Pp14 had checked a spot and I must have then checked it from a different angle and spotted the sneaky hide.

TFTC.

This one was another sneaky hide but we found it TFTC Cantcacheus2014

We too weren't getting much help from our GPS here, wandering wildly, we turned it off and made our search....not where we expected but GPS had briefly pointed there before it went mad again...so peaceful through here today, being a Sunday, expect things are very different on a weekday...TFTC Cantcacheus2014

earthly65 found this one, not where we expected it would be and the GPS wasn't any help here, TFTC Cantcacheus2014

Spotted this one almost straight away, even though it was neatly tucked away.

Found the cache while out with Gunnie69 tackling caches around the Crestmead area. The day started at Crestmead Park to allow Gunnie69 to grab the special icons in the park, before we moved west ands the trail around the Crestmead Industrial Estate, before finishing at the Berrinba Wetlands.

Thanks Cantcacheus2014 for the cache!

As Ghostgums and I approached GZ, I was expecting the cache to be "there". It made sense given the cache name and I'm a logical type of guy... As I started looking in my chosen spot, Ghostgums pulled the container from its lair, "over there"... Hmm, I guess I was wrong...

GG sorted out business and tucked the cache away, then we headed to the next.

Cheers Cantcacheus2014.

Thanks for the hunt

Out on a cache log replacement run so I thought the kids yea they'll be right nope kicking fighting sticks rocks plus the dog running around all while I'm looking for a micro in the bush FUN FUN. I'm fine with hard finds put a kid or four in the mix it puts me off. I found the little hide right in a spot I would put it but brushing my hand past/over it easily3-4 times it took A hint to put my mind to rest bingo there it is and a great little hide. I like the lid glue idea I mite need to add a bunnings run in my travels today to. Thanks for the hide TFTCLS

teamdfl and I are taking a bike ride around the Wetlands today

This one gave us a lot of grief and took about half an hour to find Lots and lots of running hands all over every possible surface we could find. And I'm sure we both checked the actual spot twice before I stumbled on the hide. Wow! That was a tough one. TFTC, Cantcacheus2014.

The first of several very long hunts today. We spent quite some time here, looking in all sorts of places and not finding what we were looking for.

I am pretty sure we both checked the hiding spot at least once and missed it. IolantheK had another look - a proper look and located it

Ahh, so this is the track I should be following, this will make life easier. I'm definitely not a fan of taging on residents walls and fences but when there is some actual talent shown like there is on this wall I think it's amazing. It's funny how graffiti arts get a bad rap for this along with leaving empty cans everywhere but if you look around you'll see empty paint buckets, rollers, trays and paint sticks lying everywhere from the people involved in covering it up. A case of people in glass houses I think.
Anyway after looking in all the obvious places and finding nothing I took a moment to reread the cache page and logs. Mmm, not real helpful but I went back over some places I had already checked but still nothing. A good 15-20min later I called it quiets after readng that it had been missing once and that a few locals walking by may call someone that might find that a young man standing near a freshly painted green wall with a back pack on interesting. So add me name to the list of DNF's please Mr Cantcacheus.

Later today the CO spotted me at another hide, after a meet and greet he informed me I was on the right track but I wasn't looking hard enough so I will be back.....Of course

We decided to walk a long the paved path to avoid the group of taggers. We had a quick search and GZ and found the container quickly. This one blends in well! TFTC. Will be back tomorrow to tackle the rest in the series. TFTC

Second fail for the day. After bumping into the CO a little later, we were so close! Oh no! Tfth

Sounds like we were right on it. No luck today.

Another instance where my initial searching was a failure -I actually had touched it a few times resulting in a more difficult find and hence retrieval.

On our way back we stopped in for another look and found it in really in one of the few logical locations.

All really easy when you know where it is and the CO is smirking in the background.

TFTC

All drained out, to be continued.

No luck here today.

Out caching with Misssusan, Bennyboppers, Lisylou, Remsjw and gemalucy. Grrr, 2 DNF's in a row

Another one too hard. Gpsr was 10 m inside the fence but searched all the logical spots outside.not for us.
Tfth.

Dnf with lisylou and mnance101 and remsjw and jemalucy and misssussan79

**FTF** jointly with Team Benders and DiamondJS.
A conversation with geofriends about our FTF's yesterday and the number of Dnf's we also had, and that this cache still did not have a FTF.
So after we allcompleted a puzzle challenge this morning we headed over to this cache and see what all four of us could come up with.
We searched for some time, and had noticed that the tagging we had seen yesterday extended along the wall.
It was some time later after searching that a call to the co for help was needed. The CO was most helpful and eventually the cache was found.
Thank you Cantcacheus2014 for another sneaky hide. TFTH TFTJFTF

Yay! *FTF* @ 10.30. Joined a group of cachers in doing a few caches in the area.
We noticed that this cache had not been found. After a search of about half an hour everywhere we could think of, the CO was called for an extra hint and Mr GT54 located the very sneaky cache just where we had been searching once or twice.
The log was passed around and signed and on we wandered to the next one.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks cantcacheus2014 All good with this cache

*FTF*, well this one had us going for quite awhile. Joint find with Gullivers Travels54 and Teambender. TFTC

Log to follow

Mr bella@waggy led me over to this one and soon indicated two guys approaching whom he had seen earlier "contributing to the urban art" here (the paint aroma was still very tangible).
The pair mentioned they had seen others searching earlier and seemed to be kind of helping to search, though we didn't explain the game to them.
After what seemed a pretty thorough search, we left emptyhanded. The amount of litter was a bit off putting but thanks anyway.
