The grandma of the creator came out to check if it was still there - unfortunately it is gone but she said she will jump straight on it.
Reperio at 1330.
I was out and about with the family today, and after spending the morning down at Nobby's, we stopped by in on this one on the way home. Pulled up just opposite GZ, and quickly wandered over to find the cache nestled away out of sight. Being in front of so many houses it's impossible to act stealthily, so hopefully none of the neighbors get curious and the cache stays put for a while.
Gratias mattyb0mba.

Have just checked this cache and very disappointed to say someone had drawn rude pictures and made crude remarks. I have removed this page from the log and will keep an eye on it. Its such a shame when this happens so be a little careful when you have young children with you. Please let me know if this happens again, Thanks Matty
Found while I waited for my car to get serviced at nearby Klosters. Made the mistake of sitting on the curb, and almost got hit by a car! Cache in good condition TFTC!
Tried this one recently but a muggle was sitting on the fence watching so have came back today and had a quick find.

As i was attempting to start the search, a local muggle who was watching came up and told me exactly where the cache was, so a very quick find was made. Thanks for the cache.
Tftg. Cache in good condition with a few spots left. Pencil also inside. Family friendly cache.

Got sprung by a neighbour muggle asking 'What is special about this palm? I've noticed a lot of people lately walking around it with their phones!' Did a quick explanation of our hobby which satisfied his curiosity, then back to the hunt! Found the cache very nicely hidden. SL TFTC mattyb0mba

Found on the way to the leap year event in town. I wanted to find a few caches today, as it was the only grid space unfilled in my calendar. So I parked at Matts Park and went for a walk to this cache. I took a wrong street and had to cut through a church property as a shortcut. When I arrived I saw all the trees, but there seemed nowhere obvious as to the caches hiding spot. As there were a few people around I did not want to linger, so used the hint and made the find. Tried to return it inconspicuously, as I think I was being watched. Then walked back to Matts Park and to the event. Saying Hi to some other cachers.
Thanks for the walk and the cache!

This one had us going in circles for a moment, then it was spotted by Mrs C. The find was made easier as the previous finder had put it back back-to-front - luckily for us. Thanks mattyb0mba

Find No: 5090. A good Sunday afternoon, found 6, one DNF but found that it had been disabled since I ran the query, phew!, thanks for the cache mattyb0mba!!
In pursuit of our first streak we again ventured out in the pouring rain, to a background audio of ABC emergency weather/flooding warnings, we navigated our way to GZ, where a quick find was made, given the inclement conditions we did consult the hint before the search....
I like this container - much more weather proof than the ubiquitous mint tin.....

After a break from geocaching, it was nice to get back into it with a FTF. Having to be driving around when this cache popped up in my email. So I was soon headed that way and within minutes I had this cache in hand. A nice hide. Although I thought I was busted my muggles, it was the owners (phew!). Great job to the owners, nice camo cache. Well hidden. SL. TFTC.
