Logs
Cache is falling to pieces. We've replaced and camouflaged another container, replaced wet log and put it back. SL.
TFTH mrpotomus. Out and about between the showers while the sun is shining. SL and replaced found.
As previously mentioned the mint tin is becoming unsafe, sharp and rusty at the edges where the lid is. Have tried to straighten the edges out but it does need attention. PLEASE take care when searching.
Found cache is in need of repair, log was a wet shredded mess container is damaged I left a page from notebook and hid added natural fibre in hopes that it will help with weather proofing
TFTC a nice quick find. This cache needs maintenance as tin is broken with no lid
found the cache but it needs some urgent repairs and container is now dangerous to whoever is handling it.
Both my boys found this. My youngest says thank you for the Marble. We have put in a kinder surprise toy in this time around. happy finding.
Out on the first day of 'winter'. Too windy to take the road bikes out so instead it turned into a mountain bike caching trip to blow away the weekend cobwebs.
Given there really aren't that many places here to hide a cache we also managed to miss it on the first time round! Still we got there in the end.

Greetings from the UK. Over in WA for Christmas visiting good friends.
Should have found quicker than I did as went past the cache at least twice before spotting it!

Found on a caching run with Geo-Dad. Heidiseeki. Thought it was about time I logged out finds. Tftc.
Quick find whilst out for a walk. Thanks Ian & Penny for the new log page. TFTC
Hi there mrpotomus.
We found your cache **"Alena's Cache"** at 3:01:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14719.
We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.
We should have looked a bit harder last time we were here.
We found 11 caches today & DNF'd 1. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

This is the 2nd of 2 caches we didn't find today. 
[:(!]
We spent quite some time here at around 11:39:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache.
We had a log ready to replace, but the cache proved to be too elusive.

We are currently in Western Australia visiting our daughter and her family and taking the time to do some exploring when we can sneak some time away from them. During our first week we were able to head down to Albany and Denmark for a few days before heading back to Perth for another two weeks.
Thank you mrpotomus for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Nice hiding spot Alena. Thank you for hiding this cache for us to find.

Nice quick find here this morning after a brief detour on my way to work. I approached GZ from the right direction and spotted the cache straight away. Thank you for the hide mrpotomus, this is a very nice area.
A quick find here in such tremendous heat. It was a stupid day to go riding around the suburbs on my bike so I will go home now. Cache remains in good condition. Cheers mrpotomus
Nice find by my geodaughter 'E1'. Thanks geodaughter Elena. Took frog left ring. Camouflaged a bit better.
Nice quick & easy find early this morning while camping nearby all the way from Sydney - always good to make the most of brand new territory as I need to go further & further from home now to find new GC's. TFTC 
Oh dear, have fallen behind in my logging, yet again. Found this one a few weeks back on a caching run with Chwiliwr. Thanks for the smiley mrpotomus
Out for a caching run north of the river with Mistraluna. Called in to find this cache whilst in the area.
Found without problems in the first spot looked at. Log signed and cache returned as found.
Thanks mrpotomus for the cache.

A nice little area here on the side of a busy road (although I parked not on the busy road of course). I was happy to make a quick find here. Thanks for the cache Alena & mrpotomus!
hey guys I will be collecting the swap in the cache in the next day or after. just letting you know to NOT TAKE the swap. Happy hunting Mrpotomus
Nice quick find today at this one, although some stealth was required to avoid attracting the attention of some builders working across the road from GZ!
TFTC!

Nice to see a couple of new caches pop up in this area. Walked down to this one after grabbing the nearby Isla's cache. GZ was in the middle of the grass for me, but we reached the likely spots nearby and came up with the goods quickly. The logbook is VERY damp but we managed to scratch our names on the back. TFTC
A nice quick find here on our way past 
. The log is wet though 
The jinta mob decided to head north to Geraldton for the third time to celebrate International Geocaching Day! We grabbed a variety of caches along the way and this was one of them. A great weekend away and we can't wait until next year.
