Thought I’d give this one a go... looked in all the logical spots (so many here) but didn’t come across anything...
Over this way to pick up a parcel for a friend so why not a few caches as well? A glorious day for a walk with lots of bird song.
Seems to be AWOL

People need to put all the contents back, not leave them on the ground covered in mud!
Easy find for the kids. They wanted to swing across the creek on the rope near by.
After walking past another cache that I didn't feel comfortable searching for, I arrived here to GZ just a few steps away from the coordinates and was quite an easy find. TNLN Thanks for the walk.
Found on a nice walk with the family. Our daughter was hunting for things to record in her science journal. Enjoyed a nice walk along the dry creek bed. We initially approached on the wrong side but soon found it. TFTC
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Grabbed the cache for the day nearby and this was too close to be ignored before heading into the office for the day. Wandered over through deserted streets to GZ and had to jump the creek as the mapping was not 100% but soon spotted the hide and quickly laid hands on the cache. Signed log and replaced. Gratias Pro Cache.
My bike ride continued alongside the dry creek towards Barkey !!
I too ended up on the wrong side, despite there being a very good bike path on t'other
A short ride via the foot bridge to the east soon fixed that problem and the hunt began !!
"Release the hounds !!" [:o]
Or at the very least - "release Barkey"
Barkey was soon found and the logbook signed in the shade of a barkey covered tree
TFTC Woof !!

Found with 2011*turtle. A quick find and luckily we had all the tools we needed. TFTC
We approached this from the wrong side .................. but hevwalker12 wandered over and made the find!! Thanks for the hide!!
Found on my way to an event with CPWanderer & Clare007.
We found ourselves on the wrong side so I crossed over, fortunately there was no water present. I needed both hands for the decent (& ascent) so the pen was tossed to me to sign the log. I located the cache easily before returning to the otherside. TFTC mooflip

CPWanderer was keen to grab this one as we were nearby.
We soon discovered that we were on the wrong side of the creek.
Luckily, there was no water present at the time,
and hevwalker soon made the crossing, found the cache & signed the log.
Thanks hevwalker12 & mooflip for the cache.

Well, this was a slightly tricky cache. We were lucky in that the river wasn't flowing (some sections were completely dry!) and that geo daughter was able to cross the river to retrieve cache while geo mum and geo pup stayed on the other side. Geo mum did have to carefully pass geo daugher her phone to use the camera function to explore the possible final hidey hole. Overall, it was a quick find once GZ was isolated. Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache mooflip ,found after dropping the youngest daughter of at a boxing lesson nearby,sorry for the late log found this a couple of weeks ago,outside camo was floating and full of water but log book in its own container was dry,

Nice hide easily found who ever left the growing lizard it's grown a lot from all the water
An easy find once the phone GPS locked on. However, the cache was full of water, including the log, in spite of being kept in a zip lock bag. Emptied the water out, but the log needs to either be dried out or replaced. TFTC
Found it but when it was in my hands all the items inside where floating as the container was 3/4 full of water.
Was the wrong side of creek according to gps. Bit high for the kids but a great hide!!!
Quick find by geopartner in the obvious place while I was trying to persuade Izdog not to eat grass. Thanx
TFTCmooflip this was a bit harder to find
met DR owl at the hide as we were going out ,nice to meet other caches sometime

Wow! What a neat spot for a cache. Who would have thought you'd get such a large container to fit in there [8].
Surprised it had been muggled . TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one Mooflip.

Owl has enjoyed this little series: good coordinates, decent-sized caches, just enough sneakiness to make life interesting without becoming annoying. A need to hide from muggles with this one, and Owl was fixated on the wrong hide, but got there eventually. Great way to spend some time on a sunny afternoon before getting back to work. Thanks!
Although we were initially on the wrong side, a quick repo and found it. Kids really liked this one
