In the right place

Hi morry9,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

Looked at all the spoilers, not there

We looked for a long but didnt find it. Judging by the photos we think we were looking in the right place. We will be back again to try and find it soon.Tilly rose and mum

Few too many people in parked cars to have a proper look

Tftc

I think someone threw it into the bush!

Found & signed. This was tough as GZ was about 7ish metres off according to my phone. As you face the bush, search more to your left when at posted GZ. Great hide and camo. Left Cooper Cronk behind to guard. TFTC!

Found but did not have a pen

After a few visits I've located it! TFTC. Left it in the same place I found it which appears about 8m ftom the Lat/Long

Caching out of area today. This one has eluded new Geocaching partner for some time now but Ive seen this type of cache several times now. Coordinates are off and there is a disappointing spoiler alert a few posts back. TFTC!

TFTC good cache lovely fake rock

More photos

More photos

Good one love the spot and the camo! Forgot a pen to sign it tho TFTC

Geez.. I really hope the CO morry9 removes those recent Spoilers from the log.. Tsk-tsk..

Accio 09:48:50Found with Fangsoki and T4mmmy on our long way home from Mega. We picked this cache as we were driving by as it was side of the road and ticked an LGA off for us. The plan was a quick find and move along. Well - we did get there, but it took about half an hour. For us the coords were between 9-12 metres - well to the 'left' of posteds. It was a log that said car headlights helped that eventually took us that one step further left to where we'd previously been. Placed just behind a little rock which was deceiving us until T4 was scrabbling around in that little cavelet.Phew. In the end a very rewarding and satisfying find as we were worried our mojo had been lost (a couple of 'easy' DNFs on this trip already)Thanks morry9 for entertaining me at this location. *{Overall find #12432}*

**S 33 48.816 E 151 08.787**Pprime, T4mmmy, and I pulled up for this one next. This took an inordinate amount of time for us to find. Despite all of us looking in the same area, it was T4mmmy that came up with the prize. I have posted up the coords that worked for me today.We were very happy to have gotten this one. TFTC morry9

GPS out by approx 2 metres. Took 20mins to find it. I did Try really rock hard.Found with Fangsoki & PPrime

Nowhere near my GPS point.. Still, perseverance got it in the endSL, Replaced as found,TFTC morry9

First geocaching adventure, maybe next time

Looked on the way to the event and saw others looking after the event so stopped to lend a hand.Previous finder gave some clues.It was found about 3m from where I was looking.The mozzies found me when we were signing the log.Great park.Tftc

Found It!Stopped past here after the nearby event. It took a lot of searching but eventually I looked in the right hole and spotted the cache!TFTC

Unable to find today with a few muggles around. Mosquitoes also deterred me.

DNF revenge, came back for a second time and spent some more time on it and only found it in the declared final 5 mins. Very misleading GPS and an interesting container!TFTC

Searched for 10 mins, no luck

Cache is there, look harder Rock it out!

TFTC anyway could never do this without a hint of

Not this trip

Hints are always nice

At the GZ GPS is jumpy. I went to the field edge to get good GPS lock then used bearing and distance to walk directly to the hiding spot. TFTC

Quick few caches before heading home for the Mathilda's game against France.
A good find, luckily not too many muggles around.
TFTC morry9.

On this trip we are basically looking for Adventure Labs, Earth caches and Virtual's, anything where there isn't muggles involved and also hoping to pick up a few LGA's we need around the Sydney area

You are correct that this place needed a cache as it appears to have every thing else here.
Needing this one for a LGA challenge we thought we were going to miss out for a little while but perseverance eventually paid off. It's a great little area that would be easy to spend time in A few people were using the sporting facilities but were not interested in anything else.
Many thanks morry9 for bringing us to this hidden gem of a place and giving us a chance to get this LGA

Great natural camo. Took us a while to locate. Almost ran out of time - lunch time break from work. Thanks morry9.

Find # 9340
Not the quickest find.
We were glad that we didn't have to climb.

I don't believe it is there anymore please advise if someone does find it. Be aware king ants around too

Good spot

Haha good spot went at night so didn't see until I turned my car lights on, glad to see it's still there!

Had a very brief search and this was a DNF for me

Yeah went 2 separate times and couldn’t find this one, maybe check if it’s still there?

Fairly quiet today as I headed out to search for this at lunch. Would not be great to try find on a busy weekend. Soon had cache is hand. Was a but damp but log is in tact and could sign. Thanks for placing. Getting me out more to explore my local area.

We were here last week and we couldn’t find it. Back again today and found it easily

Impossible

Check down at GZ

Got to gz and short search saw something familiar tftc

After a few minutes at GZ and making a logical search I came up with a familiar container in hand. Lots of people finishing up sport as I arrived thankfully so I had some privacy to search. Could be tricky if you’re thinking with something else in mind TFTC

It is there I cheekcked ages ago and put it in the notes

Cache is there look harder

Found within 5 minutes of arriving at GZ, driest log I’ve signed for a while! Lots of activity nearby, but no one appeared to take any interest in my activities. Thanks morry9 for the cache.

Cache is there people look harder

Hi morry9,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt

Not here. Must have been removed

Nup!

Can’t find

Could not find this one. It was hiding away too well for us today. TFTL

Too hard

No prizes to swap

Nice spot, although many what we thought were leeches on it. TFTC

After completing a multi nearby we stopped and Oldmorty found one of his fav camos. TFTC!

OCW morty8888. After completing a nearby multi cache we were about to go to grab some lunch when morty8888 remembered this cache was close by. Having a couple of previous dnf's here I wasn't keen to search again but morty8888 said it had been found yesterday. It was decided to do one final search and as often happens we located the sneaky hide within minutes. Glad to put this one to bed .
TFTC morry9.

Don’t go up the hill

Super easy quick find.

Found on our lunch break

tried for like half an hour. I am a noob tho

Revenge a previous dnf
Thanks for the cache

Look carefully.well hidden

This was my second attempt looking for this cache and I still couldn’t find it :/

TFTC

Wow. A very tough cache

It was tough

Did not find this cache
Too wet any way

Nice location, lots of mugglers

I needed a calendar find today so stopped for a quick find after work. To be fair, I probably would’ve DNFd this but the bottom of the cache was exposed so I was greatly helped! TFTC!

Somedays you get lucky after you read the previous logs and think this could take forever. Well this was one of those as I spotted the cache within 5 minutes despite muggles across the way and plenty of action with cricket this arvo. Now off to the dog park with Zelda. TFTC

Just had to be systematic and work my way to it. Took about 5 mins starting in once place and ending at the cache. I'd say it's def a T1.5 tftc

Unfortunately didn't find it but would like to have another look.

Found with Dad while at my brother's cricket match. This was a tough find. TFTC

Out for some caching fun with goingplaces2 and this was one of the successful finds for the day. No problem in finding this container. TFTC.

Got this one had us going for a long time. We even guessed what we were looking for, but it was only after we gave up and came back after the cricket finished that we made an easy find. I don't know how many times I'd looked there the first time around.... TFTC

It did not take very long at all to find this one with ilook4geo. The log had both names added, all was put back as it had been found and the hunt continued. Thanks go to morry9 for placing this cache.

Found it reasonably quickly as we were helped by previous logs. No muggles around at all, the only annoying thing was the number of planes going overhead destroying the peace of the area.

Could not find

TFTC from the Kayakviking
This thwarted me on a previous look when I first started caching. Today I went a little too high before checking the terrain. Resettled and there it was ! All good Cheers

Had a quick try for this earlier in the week, but there was far to many muggles near the GZ.
Today my timing was better, as was the light. I’d also seen this style of camouflage before, as a result I fairly quickly had the CIH.
Tftc.

Too hard

Today we were out on the caching trail to find the last of the clues, and to then start collecting some gemstones, for the "Mystery at the Museum" cache challenge. Visited Lane Cove (West & North), then Lindfield, and then finished off with one final cache at Killara. This was the 5th of 10 finds for the day.

Another morry9 cache that we had DNFed nearly two years ago (on same day as Henley) so thought we may as well have another look at it while we were in the area. Arrived at another familiar park and headed straight for the area we had searched on the previous DNF visit.

Started searching the many hidey holes on offer, and being a little bit "blinkered" by logs that reported the coords being off by anywhere from 10 to 20 metres, when the family's chief puzzle solver suddenly called out that she had found it and that the coordinates were pretty much spot on! TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. And that's another sad blue face banished from our geomap. TFTC morry9.

Find #3279

Looked for ages but only found spiders

Cache is back in action! Sorry it took so long!

Perhaps after the rain, the log has been covered and lost

#327
At 1st Lane Cove Scout Hall for the annual Sydney North Region Christmas party.
I could not pass this one up to fill a calendar day.
I found it very quickly.
The log is very wet and needs some attention.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found it reasonably quickly after widening the search. Passport is wet and needs new log

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

My third cache for the day.
After finding the nearby Lovetts Reserve cache i decided to walk over this way and have a go at this one.
It took about 10 mins after reaching the GZ to locate the correct hiding spot but luckily due to the showers that had been coming down all day no muggles were in the area to bother me in my searching.
The log was slightly damp but still writable. I replaced the plastic bag in the cache.
Thanks.

Quick little find TFTC

12:25pm. Got it . Don't you love it when you find it quickly amongst a mountain of possibilities. Based on the log, I thought I'd be here a while. Peacefully place but muggles about.

Yeah!
