MTY Rail Trail (We Can Fix It) Newborough, Victoria, Australia
By Poiter.h on 29-Jun-15. Waypoint GC5YDCP

Far from the mark

Way too many mosquitoes

Tftc

Sadly no luck 5 of us looked for ages. Try again another day maybe

Ended up finding it at last minute, quite wet inside. Glad we ended up finding it though!

A fun one to find, Mummy Short Legs and I were happy to let the four boys bumble around in the bushes searching for it. Thank you!

Gave up after reading the comments.

Not near the gps, very easy to get to get to.

Found it

Found the cache, couldn't find the separate log sheet if that's what the hint is referring to. Signed the temp log in the cache instead.

This one was found 11m away from where the GPSr wanted us to be. It was tightly wedged in its hiding place and there was no way we could retrieve the entire container. We did manage to lift part of the lid so that we could get a hand in and remove all the contents however. No log to be seen of the 2.8m length required. (Think it has been taken), so we placed a temporary log sheet in the container.With a souvineer on offer for Leap Day it was great to see Grannyapple post another Event to mark the day. The Botanic Gardens is always a good place for an Event.There were a number of well-known local cachers in attendance as well as others from further afield and a few we had not come across before. Great to catch up with them all. We took the opportunity to collect a few caches we had not searched for in the area as well, and managed to correct a previous DNF. A good outing!Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache grannyapple64.**SKI Pair****

I found it slay

No luck on this one. Found the container but not the log despite a good hunt around. Will come back with fresh eyes in the future!

This was fun! Thank you for an interesting cache to find!

Found outer cache container and a whole lot other tooks however, log container was MIA and therefore unable to be signed
I was so looking forward to this one and love concept. Keep it!

Found it

Found with margaretforr1987

International Geocaching Day (we may have missed it) but beautiful day for it, love the cache theme TFTC

Sharpie has no ink left
TFTF

No luck this time. I found some name-matching objects and thought I knew what was meant by the hint but couldn't make the find. Hmm.. TFTC anyway!

Out again for a caching morning in the excellent company of Tiz13 with the target to find caches along the rail trail This one didn’t take too long to find in spite of a wandering phone signal. Loved the large container TFTC Poiter.h

Woo hoo my first ever find - didn't take too long to find. Had a good chuckle at the contents.
Todays related joke. I used to call my boss Sid..... (As in Sidchrome) because he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Hi there! 97 here great find!! Me and the partner recently got a car so off on the hunt we went

Fun find for the kids

Found it. Interesting there no actual log just a sharpie Tftc. Lovely spot to look out over the cows.

Easy to find, needs new marker

With restrictions lifted in Regional Vic once again it was time to get out the house and enjoy the outdoors. A nice size cache and yes I signed the log, not the bucket.

Catching up on a few overlooked logs from what was a very busy few days for us. I incorrectly logged one of these caches (sorry) I have since rectified that (I think)
A good little series I might get to finish it one day the next tine we visit the outlaws
TFTC

Nice find cheers keilys

Found it

Nice easy find by geo kids. Tftc

Nice work Bob

Nice

Lovely walking trail. Thanks for the adventure

I loved searching for this one

Lots of curious cows taking great interest in what i was up to.. TFTC

Off the track but best cache so far . Very creative . Good chat with the moo cows

Very cool!!

Went back to work this one out after being tricked. Worked it out this time with me geo kids

Yes we can

My fellow cachers have previously found this cache. So I headed off down the path with one in tow with the other taking the vehicle to the other end so I could pick up the last few on this section of the trail. A quick and easy find and thankfully large enough to drop off a trackable.

Thanks Poiter.h

Well THIS was an unusual find! At first I thought I couldn't sign the log because I didn't have the right pen, but luckily someone had left the right "tool" for the job. I managed to snap a few shots of the field next to the trail while I was here. TFTC!

After attending the CITO earlier on in the day I, n0w0rries and AlphaDeltaIndigo were beginning to make our way home. We stopped off for a fairly quick find in the constant rain. As my caching companions have said, we completed the appropriate requirements.

A caching adventure with leafotwind and AlphaDeltaIndigo.
Today we attended a CITO, found a LBH, a few trads, puzzles and multis.
A well concealed hide
We noticed a few others didn't appear to have gone the extra distance to complete the experience. [^]
Well played.
No fixing needed here although the sharpie is a tad dry.
Thanks for the cache Poiter.h

Caching buddies: leafotwind, n0w0rries

We didn't need any fixing at gz.. loved the fact that it's hidden in plain sight. Logbook? Hehehhehe! We figured it out, unlike some other finders, who went a little lazy.
Our luck that the sharpie in the cache is nearly dried up.

TFTC Poiter.h

My boys left bed finding this one

Last cache for this rail trail today. Certainly an interesting hide that if I had thought about it, I should have guessed something like this from the title.
I signed the container like others before me, before I thought about it and then found the physical log and signed this too at 12.15 pm.
Wonder if the CO does actually come and check the real log, deleting names not on it.
Thanks for the cache Poiter H

Found, will need maintenance as cache is in open at GZ.

Haha found log no maintenance needed great cache

??

Tftc. And here I was walking around in a circular motion b4 I realised the riddle, in the meantime dog had a wry smile.

Came back today as CJPERX suggested that we may have not logged this one as intended. So off I go, get to gz and try to work out what I've missed. Face palm moment... I literally LOLed in the middle of the bush to myself. So now it's officially logged as a find and I'm giving it a favourite just because it was clever enough to make me think I had outsmarted it.. when clearly I hadn't lol TFTC

1st of our rail trail finds.... nice and easy. Found Shai.marelle. Swapped for bouncey ball. TFTC

Love a nice easy find at times

Absolutely love this container! And the logbook wow took a moment to realise a favourite from me tftc

Jordan and I rode from Moe to W and on the return trip we stopped to look for this cache.
I'd searched at stupid o'clock the night it was released.
Now time to try again.
We found the cache quickly - OMG did I really miss this that night???
Now to find the log .....
Without giving away anything we found the log.. but it seems to me everyone has logged in the wrong place? ... or maybe the hint has been updated??
tftc a fav point for a great cache.

Heading along passed the tree lopping that has occurred I was soon enough at GZ. A quick find of the container, and then I was adding my name to the log. Very clever hide, it all makes sense.
Thanks for the cache Poiter.h.

Can laugh now I found it

Soooo clever!

A revisit was in order after we signed a fake log
This time we found the genuine article
Thanks Poiter.h, great cache

Easy find. Very cool cache, seen nothing like it before! TFTC!!

Found im a carpenter love this one

I was quite stumped with this one until Sixy2Sue took over the measuring

GrassyKnoll and I struggled to find the log for this one at first, but then the penny dropped, and it was then very obvious. Thought that it would be best to log higher up on the log so that it would last longer. Loved this one. Grabbed Smurffina from the cache.

Good hide

Very clever hide found with grannygeo64

Dropping off Smurffina the travel bug off to start some new travels. Good luck and ensure she continues on her journey.

orginally found this one in feb then I get a message from the co telling me we had signed the false log that someone had put in there. not happy so down we go again and find the right log and sign it again it was a brilliant log tftc found with apple460

Found the cache quickly, all in good condition. Very clever to get the log, I like it! TFTC!

Found this one back in Feb but it turns out some lovely person made their own log instead of actually looking. So after receiving an email it was back down to find and sign the REAL log. After a bit of a bush bash with the pram and kiddies we were back where it had all started after a little think That no sense hint finally made sense quick sign and placed back we were off back to the car and the 25 minute drive home .
It's an interesting cache it's self.
Tftc

I feel like I might have missed something with this cache. Withits favourite points I'd lined this one up to be my 200th. Found the cache quickly, signed the log and was somewhat underwhelmed. However, reading through some past logs and the hint, I get the feeling that the small, unofficial-looking scrap of paper in the cache wasn't actually the log.. so I'll have to come back another day and do this cache properly..

Like this one its cool

Cool

Great size chache. Didn't quite understand the contents of the cache. Put some swaps in

Great place

Easy find with beenles

Found it after several attempts! So clever. Favourite for me

OMG! How epic!
It did have our heads spinning for a while but once I found it.... it's so obvious. A favourite and very clever. Tyftc.

At Moe today with a little spare time, so decided to grab this one . Thanks Poiter.h FTC.
Having done one like this I felt like I was cheating.

A bit tricky but got there in the end

Thanks Peter for this one bit tricky but worked it out quick after checking out the contents and thinking outside the box or maybe just opposite

Seen this before but still a fav of mine. A fav point. sl thanks poiter

This was a fun cache to find & figure out, top effort in creating these.

Took the TB & will find him a new home tomorrow.

Thanks poiter.h for this series so far.... TFTH

Took a friend geocaching he found his fist cache.

This one had us thinking for a while. Obviously you were thinking outside the square when you put it here. Well done Poiter. Will give a favourite point.

A great day out caching with SQAU.
We headed west to find new caches.

This one took a while to sort out.

This is the 11th cache of the day.

This is my 1216th cache all up.

Thank you for the hide Poiter.h

Out on a sunny day caching with gwd.aussie
Took a while to find this one
Drop off o a TB
Thanks Poiter.h

Find #10 of the day whilst down in Moe. Found the first stage quickly and had a rough idea what to do to find the log. After around 5 minutes, we couldn't find the log anywhere so we decided to move on. Just as we were about to leave, we had an idea which soon revealed the log. Amazing concept and a great twist! TFTC!

I was so excited to see that this trail was being expanded and have been hanging out to get cracking on these new additions. And today the chance finally arose! So geohubby and the newest addition to our family, 4 week old geobub went for a wander to this one today. Following in the footsteps of kyabbott and bear-caching we circled our quarry pretty thoroughly before I had a brainwave... but was disappointed. So more searching ensued until finally I phoned a friend and kyabbott pointed me back to my original brainwave. Gaaah, I was out by a mere 40cm! Brilliant concept, love this one poiter.h. Thanks for the brilliant cache

This is one EPIC cache. Geochild said 'Hang on!" and Geodad said 'What!' We then signed the log. TFTC

Visiting a TB

*FTF* at 1623.

Buoyed by our FTF up the trail, bear-cacher, geotoddler and I headed to a now-familiar parking spot in the hope of making it two from two with this cache published yesterday. Fingers crossed the FTF remained, we trundled down the trail, trying to keep the toddler out of puddles (unsuccessful) and beat the rain (successful). We found a way to gz and made a relatively quick find.....but then went after what the hint suggested to make sure we completed the cache requirements. Bear-cacher was thinking along one track, I was thinking another (which turned out to be completely wrong) and we both cut a nice perimeter while the toddler was quite happily amused with fixing things. In the end, it was almost a fluke that I found the log and our delighted laughter has earned Poiter.h another favourite point. TFTC Poiter.h, just so fun.

Righto - I may have been involved in the caching business for a while thanks to kyabbott - but since it was our first 'FTF' together we thought I should start using the technology a bit more and log on-line. I always enjoy the caches with a bit of a twist, and of course those that are just plain sneaky. This one is a bit of both. Something about this one didn't add up once we stumbled across it - but kyabbott thought in depth about this one and got into Poiter.h's head. Fortunately she also made it back out safely! TFTC.

Sadly searched at midnight in the rain and came up empty handed.
My string of unsuccessful FTF searches is starting to haunt me.
As Arnie said "I'll be back". ,,, although not until next week unfortunately. I can see this one slipping away. ,,,
