After a few months of DNFs can the CO please check to see that his one is still available.
An early start to a DNF for the year, but there you go. Prodded and shone light but to no avail
Out caching with friends from the Adelaide Walkers & Joggers Meetup group.
This was find no. 3 for the day.
Found it in seconds. Experience counts for something... although The Stick of Smiting By Poke was utilised in its retrieval.

There's 3 of us on a Meetup walk organised by CrackedChelle. It's called "Geocaching amongst the Jacarandas" and we'll walk 10km and pick up about 10 caches.
The walk was delayed a couple of weeks because we had a long wet winter and the Jacarandas were late blossoming. They look great now though.
Chelle walked straight to this one and had to Smite and Poke with the "Stick of Smiting by Poke " and we soon logged it.

*Out and about with Tomboy as grab some local smilies*...
A beautiful afternoon for a stroll. Found the hidey hole quickly but retrieving the actual cache took Tomboys dexterity and patience to retrieve as it had been pushed back too far...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment busterboys321. A nice little park...

Looked in the only possible spot and could see what looked like the lid of a film cannister but previous finder has pushed it too far back snd not retrievable
Found on a nice fine day after a couple of not so fine days.
Nice little spot, now did I mean the cache or the area, I wonder [?]

This is a very cool hide! It took me about 5 minutes to find, which included not looking at GZ, initially... D-uh! [:o)] When at the real GZ it was a relatively quick find, but i loved it SL at 09:20 on Sat 10 Sept 2016. TFTC busterboys321
Well this was s very quick find. Too easy really - spotted it from 10m away! Hope it doesn't get muggled! Thanks BB321
An empty park, very soggy ground and a well concealed cache. Log dry even after all the rain. TFTC
Were do I start, Today was a great day caching with Kaye, we were hopping the clouds will go away but No ! A heavy raining mixed with heals make any of our finds a 3 plus difficulty we got stuck in the mud, then I felt on my kness trying to push her car out the mud I went under a bridge, I eat the biggest donut ever and I lost my phone .. and much more happen in our day caching. You can't complain that you don't have fun caching with Locus cache Between all of this and more, geo pet Brodie has a nice walk around while we were loking after this sneaky cache, nice one TFTFun
Muggle partner needed to go do some work at his mother's and so I had the chance to go and cache down south
We took Brodie and also picked up Andy from team Andy Colombia so that she and I could enjoy the day together
On one of the coldest and wettest days Adelaide has seen for some time, the two of us sloshed through rain and mud, sat in the car through hail, slid up and down slopes to caches and I even managed to get us bogged Heartfelt thanks to the very nice young man who kindly snatched us out of our predicament [:X] [^]
Brodie and I also had another visit to How Low Will You Go as we placed a container that hopefully will keep the log sheet dry!
Spending time with the whole Andy Colombia team capped off a brilliant day of fun and laughs before I headed home for some much needed sleep [)]
My daily total was a tad less than Andy Colombia's as I found 12 caches.
Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.
Brodie enjoyed sniffing around in here while we looked for the cache
Andy Colombia made the find pretty quickly after we had done a loop of GZ
No other dogs here today but that's not surprising considering how cold and wet it is!

How did Owl miss that? Back with CPwanderer to confirm the cache was missing but his comment of "here it is" meant a smilie instead. Favourite point for the unexpected, in-your-face hide.
Hmmm well, I am not sure why I couldn't find this one, but under torchlight I struggled. Maybe I will come back during daylight hours to try again.
sir_spectre and i made the find but not before repeated being expected to pat a muggles dog
crossing park with jacknor and a muggle dog just kept coming back for more attention
Nobody in the park. Quick find as the cache was visible as I walk towards it. I added a little natural camouflage. TFTC
It took us a few minutes to locate this cache. It was only when the hide was viewed from a particular angle that it was discovered and we found a very snuggly fitting cache. We needed a tool to extract the cache container from its hide. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks busterboys321 for a good cache hide.
Lotsa doggies today. Thinking in the appropriate manner helped. The last one for the day. Thanks busterboys321.
Shonkysmurf spotted it during a clean up Australia Day event with her cub pack. Luckily we knew it wasn't rubbish and put it back in its place.
**Found it with Shonkylogic while picking up rubbish with my Cub Scout troop. TFTC**
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Needed the cache for the day and was out at lunchtime running a couple of errands and saw this was nearby so detoured in to make the find. Thought the area would be muggle free given it was almost raining but on arrival at the park there were two or three muggles but luckily they were in the distance on the play equipment and the search was shielded by the nearby trees. So carried out the search, searching in all the wrong spots knowing that there would be nothing but you have to do it. After a couple of rounds worked out where the cache was hidden very cleverly. However needed tools to extract the cache as it was wedged in and my fat fingers could not move it so back to the car to bring in the caching toolkit. Soon had a cache in hand, signed log and replaced, and all around one muggle and dog who wandered past and back. Gratias pro cache.
Found It!
A quickish find here and a nice little park. No dogs were seen here today though...

Heading into town for an event with Clare007. Stopped here and only when out of the car saw that there were two dogs and owners using the park. Of course they were close to GZ.
So sat on bench near gate and the dogs wandered over to say gidday. Played with the dogs a bit and then moved to the lower possibility of GZ, then onto the actual GZ whilst talking to the owners and playing with the dogs. a surreptitious once over revealed nada but luckily the owners and dogs had been there long enough and moved on so I could have a good look. [^]
Spotting the hide was quick despite the good camo but getting out the cache took two sticks as it was firmly wedged. Thanks for the hide busterboys321.

Our geomutt would have been very disappointed to find out that we went for a walk along here without him. A quick find then onwards we went.

I've driven past this park at least 4 times since this cache was published, and on every occasion the park was teeming with muggles, even late at night. Not sure what was keeping them away tonight but the place was completely abandoned.
Walked up to GZ and spotted cache straight away as it was completely exposed and in plain sight. There was a very conveniently sized piece of bark at GZ though, which I assume is meant to be some camo, so I returned it after signing the log. TFTC busterboys321!

Found last night at midnight, not a dog to be seen around this time of day! I had a look around all the obvious spots with no luck. Hmm, where oh where could it be? OH! That was sneaky! TFTC!
A nice warm walk around GZ and spotting the appropriate camo was all this one took [^]

Well it sure was a dog gone day today, so damm hot!!
I was relieved to make a quick find on this one and be able to retreat to the cool of the car.
The dogs were still enjoying themselves, despite the heat, in this lovely park.

On our way back from caching near the badlands & this was quite near a drop-off point. Hidden in plain sight, but took a bit to find! Clever hide! thanks for the cache.
Took a bit of hunting. "Chloe" the dog came over from her owner and took great interest in one of the holes. Must have smelt traces of possum. A few circles around GZ by us and a scratch of the head and finally we found the very clever hide.

I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. But you see, its SAGA nomination/voting season and my votes won't count if I don't log my 2015 finds... If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. Cheers!
A quick find on my way to Tailem Bend in the middle of the night to find a special cache for my 25000th find.
The drizzle made it easy for me to find because everyone stayed inside, so I had the place to myself on the way to meet my sister for lunch. Good hide. Nice park.
Thanks busterboys321 for the cache

Thought we'd check this cache out, even though it was in 'dog hours [:o)].'
There were several people with their dish lickers in the park, but no-one near GZ [8)].
Looked in a few places before spotting the smart hide [8]. TNLNSL.

Some dog days are those ones where you need a new cache to pop up to make the streak easier.
This was it.

Quick find after utilising the table for lunch, all peaceful and quiet here today, great hide it took a little bit of searching tolocate this one TFTC busterboys321
The good camo made this hide a very nice one. Thanks busterboys321 for a satisfying lunchtime adventure.
Found on my way to work this morning after a short detour to a very pleasant park. Thanks for the cache busterboys321!
jfaz62 & I had geodogs on board on our way North to the Halloween event today so thought we'd grab a couple of caches in parks on our way.
What a lovely park and a beautiful day to be out and about. There wasn't anyone around here today.
The cache was well hidden but I didn't take long to find it. Loved the camo. TFTC busterboys321

I love it when new trads turn up close to work. They have been really handy for our quest to complete our caching calendar. Only four days left and this was a lunchtime quickie to fill in a gap.
It took ages to get some satellite lock, so I had a bit of a BFE search, but with no luck I waited until the signal hit home. Lucky I did as the coords were spot on and I don't think I would have found it otherwise!
Nice hide busterboys321. TFTC!
Mr Tardis made a detour here on the way to work. I searched for a couple of minutes, then found the well concealed container.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache busterboys321.

Our coordinates were .643 and .148, and it should be a micro, not a small. A good hide too.
Nevertheless, we had a nice talk in a nice place on a nice day.

Was first on the scene and did some searching with the joint FTFers but had to leave before the find. Nice to meet you all. We may be back. TFTC
Thanks to chats with the cache owner, we managed a four-way joint first to find on this one. Checking the time when we signed, we must have been there for nearly 2 hours!
Nice choice of hiding spot, though I'd suggest a change from 'Small' size to 'Micro'
Thanks for the cache, busterboys321

A joint FTF with Astro, Uni and Bek-theraccoon. This one had us scratching our heads for a while. A tip from the CO had us looking in the right spot. Coords are slightly out so use the ones listed by Uni. TFTC
