I was down this way for a physio appointment so thought I would find a few newly published caches...and some others while I was here. [^] On a beautiful day for caching I ended up with 13 finds which I was happy about. Big Grin

Did have to circle the tree a couple of times before spotting the cache. Red Face Luckily no muggles around to wonder what I was doing. Surprised

Thanks for the cache murrayvillebulldogs. Smile

A few caches after work this morning on the way home back to the city.
Arrived near GZ and made my way over to the cache, not really sure what the hint meant but the cache name was a very handy indicator. Cache co ords are spot on and an easy find.
Thanks for the cache

We were pleased that the park was totally devoid of muggles when we arrived which made for an easier search. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. If was only after replacing the cache that we realised the significance of the name of the cache. Thanks murrayvillebulldogs for the hide.

I missed the regular Wednesday Walkabout so I was eager to make up with a Friday Frolic. Luckily Anymules was still on holidays and up to a day of caching between an early morning CITO and an evening puzzle solving meeting. Cool

We met the CO at this cache which turned out to be very lucky for me. I was having all sorts of trouble locating it when the CO arrived and informed us it went missing the day before. Twisted Luckily for me it was able to be replaced and I got to sign the log before moving on. Smile

**Thanks murrayvillebulldogs for this cache. ** Big Grin

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and was travelling this way for work so decided to call in and make the find. Being school holidays I was a bit worried as there is a playground etc there so there should have been plenty of muggles around. Parked nearby and not a muggle to be seen. Phew. Wandered over to GZ and while waiting for a muggle on a motor bike a distance away to start engine and head off had a look around GZ and worked out where the likely hiding spot was. Muggle bike left and reached in and hand straight on cache. Got the pencil case. But Hmmmm, pencil case without a pencil? Lucky I carry my own. Took it to a nearby seat to sign log and replace. Wandered back to GZ to re-hide. Nice park.

A quick find was made whilst muggles played nearby. Stealth was employed and the cache was in hand. Went nearby and sat down to SL at 12:28... must be lunchtime! It was for the cache guardian, whom I fed a Monster Mozzie to and then he washed it down with the beverage of the bottletops within(see Pic)Big Grin Found on Sun. 7 Aug 2016 TFTC murrayvillebulldogs Smile
