I am archiving all my hides due to Groundspeak's unwillingness to coexist with other geolocation games. Geocaching will never have a monopoly, so why not embrace other geolocation games and cross-promote to grow members? Groundspeak's short-sightedness, narrow-mindedness, obstinance and exaggerated sense of self-importance is putting players offside and will cost members. Time to wake up! Happy to discuss if you want to email me at [email protected]

This particular hide was still there, but I am removing it now.

Sounds like it has gone, so I will disable until I have a chance to check it out and replace under the cover of darkness.

Tftc as for the name I'm a Happy Photographer
 
Found by The Boofs TFTC . Our team name comes from the fact that I'm a bit of a clutz and fall over a bit!! Okay a lot!! I think the kids have got the same trait.

Looks like someone's setup their caravan one parking spot from GZ, so we took the spare place with our vehicle Big GrinCool[^].
Found in the obvious place without the torch Wink. TNLNSL.

We are a family team with all of our first initials combined to form our name (therefore, all being capital letters). Things have changed a bit over the years as our younger members have grown up, Mr & Mrs DISK being the main players these days (can’t fight the addiction SmileBig GrinCool[^]SurprisedRazz)!

Thanks Wise Old Wizard (PS. You haven't explained the origin of your name yet) [?].

Nice easy cache. Thanks. My name is taken from a mountain south west of Casino in northern NSW, my home state. Mount Pikapene is a great place to mountain bike, hike and 4wd. Tftc

A nice quick find whilst caching down in Morphett Vale. Surprisingly some of the caches nearby creeks have held up quiet well after the recent rains. All caches, Log books and swags were in good condition.
Tftc Smile
 
After my dad picked me up from school we went for a short drive and even a quick walk. I saw a few ducks. My name is simple. My dad added 'the Explorer' to my name after exploring a cave in rapid bay. Thank you

A milk chocolate amphibian. What's not to like? Smile
A quick find at GZ. Don't you love that.

A quick stop here as well, no muggles to be seen anywhere!

I was going for Smiley but my friend said there are too many of them. So I chose Lava as my surname is Lavis. Geocaching said I can’t use Lava because it has been used by someone. So I added 12 to Lava as 12 is my favourite number. My house is no 12. I used to wear 12 (number) on my uniform when I played basketball and also I used to work at Harris Scrafe and my check number was 12 so the boss can tell who made mistakes on invoices. Lol.

Thanks Wise_Old__Wizard for the cache Smile

Had a bit of spare time this afternoon and as the sun was shining I decided to go out and grab a few caches. [^]
Parked right next to GZ and knew where the cache was before I got out of the car. Wink No muggles around when I arrived, but one of the residents came out soon after I had replaced the cache. [?] I hope he wasn't taking notice of me. Sad

My caching name, pretty boring really, my initials and the year I was born. Wink At least it is short when I have to write in small logbooks. Red Face

Thanks for the cache Wise_Old_Wizard. Smile

Nice quick find on my way home from work . When I parked the car I was 4m from the cache and I had a fair idea where the cache was. My hunch was correct and I found it in the first place I looked. My geocaching name is my actual name, pretty boring story from me. TFTC

Woohoo joint {*FTF*} with AnyMules. We were sitting at home having dinner and the notification came through. 3kms ,,,,,,, got to try. Dashed there, and as we got there the rain kindly decided to stop. A quick search and the cache was soon in hand .

The origins if my caching name are kind if obvious . I'm a Kiwi who lives in Australia, and a citizen of both countries. Although when it comes to my beloved rugby there is only 1 team and they wear all black TFTC Wise Old Wizard 14/09/2016 8:34 pm Find #1550

I was in the middle of eating dinner and the phone goes "bing". Look at that - a new cache - and only 3.2k from home.

Dropped everything and scurried out the door and made a quick drive to a familiar section of the neighbourhood. A nice easy find at GZ and a brand spanking new log book.

Joint {*FTF*} with KiwiOzzie @ 8:33PM.

Log book and container returned to its hiding spot and camo re-installed and headed back home. The half eaten dinner was still warm when I got home to finish it.

TFTC. 14/9/16, 8:33 pm Find #2772

And for the records: AnyMules is a derivation of the word Animals which also includes the name of an animal and is also a kind of a question.

** silver ** I think I should start a streak of how many months in a row I can be able 2 - 3 mins behind the ftfer, I did it Saturday as well. Parked about 3 metres from cache so found under head lights.

Sir_spectre comes from me and a mate drunk playing computer games and we just levelled giving me the " sir ". Needed to make a new email address for some reason about 3 minutes after finishing game, spectre was taken so my mate typed in sir_spectre. so been sir_spectre now for at least the last 17 years.
