By Seemyshell on 29-Jun-16. Waypoint GC6MJT2

Second time here. The first time there was muggles playing tennis. Today no one around. It was a matter of looking in all the greenery

Too beautiful an afternoon to stay inside so Geodad took geodaughter12 and geoson7 out to find a few caches. This one has been on the to-do list for a while. A quick search and geoson7 had cache in hand. TFTC.

Watched the seniors play tennis as I made my way to GZ. Nice easy find once there. What time does Andy Murray go to bed? Tenn-ish

Out for a few caches today with ilook4geo. Very dull day, but no rain to hinder our search. Found this one OK with no muggles around and signed the log, then it was back to the car to continue the hunt. Thanks for this cache go to Seemyshell.Tennis is a lot like waiting tables. The most important thing to get right is the first serve.

Found this one after a bit of searching with goingplaces2. Log was signed and replaced. All good with the cache. TFTC.My neighbor yelled at me for playing tennis because I apparently was making a big racquet.

Went to go pick up a stick to help me look when I realised the other end of the stick led to a sneaky lil cache

Found

Easy grab. TFTC

Find #: 3,285
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Overcast winter afternoon
Cache condition: Good

I was on the way home after running in the NSW Road Relays and decided to find some cache enroute. There were some muggles playing tennis, but luckily I was able to make the find without drawing attention to myself - TNLNSL TFTC.

Which tennis tournament never closes? The Australian Open ...

After the CITO this morning at Chester Hill thought it was appropriate to come here with the Australian Open on at present

Liked this one
I was wondering why the tennis ball kept coming closer.
But then it hit me!

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Seemyshell

The following TBs visited for the distance - Hawkesbury Tiger, 2011- 2022 NSW geocoins, Cache In Trash Out Geocoin, Cache In Trash Out Tag, CITO Micro Geocoin, CITO 2019 Geocoin, CITO 2021 Geocoin, CITO 2022 Geocoin, CITO Leaf Nano Geocoin, Four Elements Geocoin, Optical Illusion Geocoin, Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin, Wales Flag, Wheel of Caching Geocoin

Was nearby this morning and ended up with a spare half hour so made the most of it and came to tick off a new cache. This was the most convenient to get to, so after a quick drive and parking on a nearby street GZ was quickly reached and the cache spotted. Probably wasn’t dressed the most suitably for rumbling through scrub but made it out unscathed. Cache is in good condition, thanks!

Had to drop my daughter off for an interview in b
Bankstown was surprised there were no geocaches in Bankstown. This was the closest, thought I'd come and see if I could find it. Thanks for maintaining the cash

Bit tricky but found it

Gotcha! Found with the Geonephew ??

Great hide TFTC

Just outside the construction fence. TftC.

Geocaching with my granddaughter. A good quick find. Her second find, she was very excited.
TFTC

Thank you for the adventure

Funnily enough, I was speaking to the CO earlier today about how when you've cleared your own area, geocaching kind of 'forces' you to explore others. I was doing exactly that this afternoon, venturing into uncharted territory and came across Pat Cache! Ha! A quick find, and once opened discovered these slides inside which took me back go childhood! Now for a dad joke: "I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I’ll let you know" #BoomTish

Just catching up on my logs from the past couple of months. Found this on 14/11/20 with Meritonnn. Here's a joke for you: Why was the tennis court so loud? Because all the players raised a racket! TFTC!

Found the cache and the 3 little slugs guarding it. Probably the cutest cache guardians I could hope for

TFTC

TFTC I left the travel bug. Too much of a novice to do the right thing yet!!!

TFTC

Found! TFTC

Found with Mosaikmum... TFTC

Found today with VK2RG while out walking. TFTC!

With the current climate of restrictions lifting, its time that we are all allowed to go Geocaching once again.

To help stop the spread of Covid-19, The Australian and NSW Governments requires everybody to stay at home unless you are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.

While some people would regard going geocaching as a form of exercise, it is my personal opinion that this activity is a non-essential one, perhaps involving unnecessary travel and therefore should not be undertaken during this time of crisis.

Who knows how long this pandemic will last! Right now, every one of us has an important part to play in helping to keep our families, friends and the wider community safe in the fight against the spread of Covid-19, by staying home.

As a result of the health authority’s directive, I have decided to disable all my caches and respectfully request that no person seek out and claim a find on any of my hides whilst the caches are disabled.

Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to bringing my caches back into play as soon as the health crisis abates, and stay safe.

Cheers
Seemyshell

Another one after work, I had to circle round a few times before eyeing the hide tftc

Had a go at this one yesterday but there was a few people at the courts so I wasn’t able to have a good look. Came back today to make the find. Exactly where I thought it would be, VERY well hidden. The puppy was very happy to find a few discarded tennis balls around too. TFTC.

Cache still in place and healthy

Nope

The cache was found after a short hunt around GZ. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Seemyshell for the cache.

Needed a calendar filler today, and “saving” caches like these is all part of the grand plan. Quick find, no muggles, everything is nice and dry inside the cache despite the recent rain.

Seemyshell I found your cache Seemy Dad Jokes #2 (Pat Cache) on 11/5/19, 2:55 pm. This is my find 2360 and find # 12 today. A quick and easy find. Now for the joke.
Tennis players grunt too much when they play. There's no need for all that racket!
Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Quick find

Found with nissan 65 on a day caching before we head to homebush to see Phil Collins tonight.Thanku for the cache .

Found with cullum68 on our way to sydney to see Phil Collins concert thank you for the cache

We found the treasure!)

A doctor is looking at a patient on the exam table and and she had broccoli sticking out of her nose and camera sticking out of her ears. “I can tell right away you are not earning right” said the doctor

First find in a long time. It is 1am and I walked 3km to get this one. Thanks for the hide and hello from North Queensland.

Quick maintenance check, all in good order

Out for the day with 8r0ns0n and we decided to stop off and grab this cache.
The tennis courts were in full swing when we arrived. I usually wouldnt spend much time on a cache location with so many potentially suspicious muggles around but we were able to spot it on our first pass.

When i was a kid and sat between my dad and the tv he used to say “your fathers not a glazier”.
Thanks.

OK... Why is it so hard for a tennis player to have babies? Because he has fuzzy, green balls!

We had a continuous groan/chuckle reading previous logs. Nice park and facilities around here and quiet on a Friday evening. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Well another one of those bad dad jokes. Keep them coming SMS and TFTC.

OCW oldmorty and as we are retrieving this cache the CO is broadcasting to the world and is unhappy with poorly placed caches. The only poor thing here are the jokes. TFTC.

Quick and easy find. Love the cache name. Thanks Seemyshell.

Heading into the big smoke for the day this was my closest unfound cache to where I had meetings for the day so I popped past here on my way where a quick find was made.
Thanks

Found it

This is our first cache in a long while. The street was busy, but the tennis courts weren’t.
A quick hunt around by the geokids and the cache was in hand.
Where did the tennis players go on their date?
The tennis ball.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9569.

Why can’t you see elephants hiding in trees? Because they are really good at it.
I actually looked at the hiding spot originally but didn’t spot the cache so expanded my search and found a tennis ball but no cache. I came back to where first started and made the find.

Thanks Seemyshell for the cache.

Located at 9:02pm. After a late-ish finish today and having a late afternoon work start tomorrow, I decided some night caching was in order. I arrived to GZ and soon found the cache. Cheers Seemyshell, a nice little hide. I don’t have any puns at this moment in time to share but I love passing The Merchant Of Tennis from time to time, what a great name for a shop Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Walked past at first but when I turned around I could see the hide from the right angle.Thanks for the cache

In Sydney today for a Dr appt so came up a bit early to do some caching along the way. This was my first for the day. GPS jumped a bit but soon came up with the find. TFTC.

Went caching with the geo hubby and was relieved there wasn't any racket here as we were after some quiet time together. That's what people in love do. Found this one and quickly netted it. Had a look over our shoulders first but there was no one out of bounds to think we were up to something foul. Tftc

Found the cache thanks for the find

Nice quick find - thank you.

Geohusband really on form this evening as this was the third one in a row he spotted almost immediately. tftc

A quick cache on an evening bike ride.
Thanks

Quick park and grab nicely camouflaged.

**Why didn't the toilet paper cross the road???
Because it was stuck in a crack

Good first find of the day for us while on holiday in this area from Auckland, NZ.

This is my third SMS find in a matter of days but thankfully luck (and some privileged help) was on my side today. It was a quick find on a quiet day. As was pointed out to me, should the fit muggles have been here, I think this would've been a DNA - did not attempt. TFTC!

Quick find after work, just before the child come to play.
TFTC

Cool but clear weekend just screamed for a little cyclo-caching so visited the Auburn and Birrong area today.
- - -
This was the 13th of 14 finds for the day.
Had to wait until a doubles game at the nearby court went into a long rally before effecting the grab.
As for a Dad tennis joke? Better not as the only (tandem) tennis joke I know would probably cause the geocaching.com site to be taken down. ( *The first of two punch lines is "un-Bjorn Borg".* )
TFTC Seemyshell

Another quick find in a thankfully deserted park.

Will resist the urge to add another dad joke - the CO needs absolutely no encouragement....

TFTC

A nice easy find. No one around- I had the park to myself apart from a neighbour's dog yapping at me.

Found this back on the 26th August with Ashley.Kate and DLturner. Missed logging this

With some business in the Homebush region I had time to detour over this way to collect the nearest unfound caches. I had already made two successful finds and after a quick stop to collect the information for Mutley Multi, which I will do on another trip, I headed here for my final cache hunt.

I found parking in a street opposite the tennis courts and headed over.
I was a bit disappointed to see primary school muggles playing tennis, or at least trying to and having lots of fun on all the courts. They were rather close to GZ but didn't seem to notice me. Many rainbow lorikeets in a tree beside GZ provide a good decoy as I tried to make it look like I was looking up there instead of down at the ground for something.

The cache was quickly found once the GPS sprung into action and pointed me in the right direction. I signed the log and visited some TBs then replaced everything as I found it, then headed on to complete my business tasks.

TFTC # 1916
3/3 finds today.

Game, set, match! TFTC

Quick easy find , there was a noisy bird above me making its presence known. TFTC

TFTC Seemyshell .

After a DNF on a CO's other cache, we headed here in rapidly fading sunlight. This one took a long longer than it should have - I made the find in the spot we probably should've checked first! It is well conceived - nicely hidden. TFTC, Seemyshell!

A pleasant walk ended in a cache found.

Just far enough away from the courts to make a quick and unseen find and log!

TFTC

Streak Day #1346 - Found with Team CRuDSS [aka Contactpete, Ris768, Dave8153, Snoopy1976 and Spy79].
Stopped by here for another easy one..

One of my fav dad jokes:
“How do you make a Kleenex dance? Put a little boogie in it!”

A Quick and Easy Find with Team CRuDSS (Contactpete, RIS768, DAVE8153, Snoopy1976 and SPY79) Today. TFTC.

Working on clearing the caches in a 15km radius of home, I travelled to Birrong

Quick find here, lucky peek

TookTB

Tftc

Found tonight with LovelyLadyLocks.. and her 300th cache to boot! I've dropped off my first TB i ever got. Farewell, Sgt Cooper ..


Why is tennis a noisy game?

Because each player raises a racket!

Before we headed home after the night-cache, Nurreg spotted another one of Seemyshell's caches which looked like an easy find - it was, even in the dark =)

I made the mistake of thinking my 300th find was this one - however it was actually the night-cache - even better =)
TFTC!

No trouble here once the app's compass had settled. The new Cachly app is working very well.

In the area visiting a relation with Mrs A and having a number of unfound caches on my list to do.

There was a match in progress on the nearby court so we had to be extra stealthy and while they were involved in the game I made a quick discovery, another quick glance and I grabbed it. Took it aside and did the business. Another wait while the players were distracted and back it went. Cache is in good shape. TFTC Seemyshell. FP.


****Dad Joke:**
**Q: Why do elephants wear green tennis shoes?
A: To hide in the tall, tall grass.****

Gps was a bit dodgy today but still a fast find

Found it, thanks

Found fairly quick, got a D10 and put some 35mm slides in. Thanks!

Quick park & grab. TFTC

Caching in an area I usually wouldn't cache in. TFTC!

Quick and easy find. TFTC. Love the log book.

Not quite what I was expecting to find (probably had another tennis themed camo in mind) but a quick find nonetheless. Just one lone student on the courts today too busy taking instruction from her coach to notice me.

Found with AWTYOW walked a loop for nothing to realise oh we could of walked in that way, but in our defence it was dark!!! Found whilst creatures in the trees watched and made creepy noises!!Picked up a TB. Left some shiny bling. TFTC

Pitman Clan and I decided this cache fit the bill for our impromptu late night caching... and it was a good excuse to get out of the car as we'd noticed that PC's random radio station had just played the same songs twice in a row. We stumbled through the park until we got GZ. After searching one side each it was PC that came up with the goods. TFTC

Came for a few quick caches before heading to mums nearby. Walked to GZ and found the cache out in the open. SL, discovered the TB and Rehid close by. CO may want to make a visit and make sure it's in the right hiding spot. TFTC.

I found a tennis ball very nearby so I placed it with the cache. Four finds already. TFTC

Found it

To-day I drove from Canberra to the Eye Clinic at the RSPCA for Betty the cat to have some surgery. Betty had to stay all day so I went for a 10 k walk around the suburbs whilst waiting for her and looking for geocaches. I then spent the rest of the day at Bankstown Central shops wandering around there.

Another park and grab

Quick and easy

Nice weather we in afternoon went for a walking.

No. 686

I parked on the street and crossed the road towards the cache. After a little fumbling in the bushes, it was soon in hand. Signed and replaced as found. All in good order. TFTC!
