GEOCACH #21 (08/02/2024)

Nice camo

good hide

East find out and about!

Clever! Thanks for find number 35!

Found it in the grass moved it to where it should be

It was in grass, put it in grass

Took an afternoon stroll, thought I would grab some caches. Looked in all the most appropriate locations for this, constantly mindful I was in thongs in long grass that was mushy. Took multiple attempts to get to GZ due to construction work. A thorough search sadly left the elusive cache unfound.

Out on the weapon national day looked at the do not find I thought I might as well give it a miss someone that is 16000 as a found it I worked out

As per the previous DNF, we also could not locate this cache

Had the place to my self, thought I had a very thorough search of both objects in vicinity of GZ but could not locate this cache.

Out early this morning to seek out a cache or two in Casey Fields

Very wet underfoot but cache was quickly located, log signed and returned as found before being on my way

All in good condition
Many thanx to Sparra0907 for the cache and ongoing maintenance

Nice quick find Thanks for this one ️

Quick find. Never thought i would b walking on a BMX track ️ thanks

TFTC

Found with grandkids. Nice spot.

Nice find, still in great condition! Tftc

Quick find! Fun to look for! Grass is very long

Event was in progress

TFTC Nice find, love the container camo. Log was a little wet but nothing major! Thanks ️

Found it. No pen so bring your own

Easy to find.

Nice easy to find cache.

If you are walking from Artemis Dr, be careful of the swooping magpie.

Great little find for the kids. Nearly had to swim there with all this winter rain!

great place thanks

Found, dome soft ground but passable. TFTC

*The "Great Victorian Cache Crawl 2022" Adventure #5*
Cranbourne event done and dusted, everyone's rushing off to Devil's Bend. I, on the other hand, still have some business to transact here in Cranbourne.

*Alert:* This cache was muggled, and in a quite disturbing way. The cache log was removed from the container, and then the container had been filled with some sort of chewed/regurgitated/who-knows-what once-was-food substances. It *smelled* like vomit, and defied identification. I cleaned it as best I could with my water bottle, "flapped" it dry, and provided a replacement log - the best I could do from a bike approach. However, the perpetrator knows its there... they may come back. Keep an eye on this one.

Thanks heaps, Sparra0907!

Parked in the wrong spot and a bit of a wet walk, but all good with easy find.

TFTC

Tftc, nice stroll funny looking white 3 wheelers. Had to be stealthy!!!

Cool idea with the cache 18/4/22

Having attended every Victorian MEGA it was a surprise when I noticed that I had never logged 'Home of Victoria's First Ever Mega'.
Following on from there I went for another couple of caches in the area.

There were a few cyclists on the track including a zippy little enclosed, recumbent cycle.
Timed my search to miss the pedallers.
Cache found in the first place I looked. All in good order here.
Thanks Sparra0907.

We’re all going to Whittlesea to participate in Victoria’s next Mega!

Spending today together with AlexiKatty trying to stay on target for my milestone for the Wangaratta mega in January. It's a nice day and beautiful to be out hear on this sunny day. Very happy to add this smile to my map.

These bandits found the cammo hide! Signed and placed back. Deserted area today!

Found it

We are allowed to travel 15kms from home now which gives us the opportunity to look for more caches while getting our daily exercise.

This isn't our first attempt at looking for this cache, over the years we have been muggled out a couple of times but today the area was clear and the only hurdle there was keeping the feet dry after all the rain of the last couple of days. Our timing was good, as we returned to the car a family arrived and started to make use of the excellent BMX circuit

Thanks once again Sparra0907 for placing this cache,

Thanks for replacing, quick find cheers!

Quick easy find

Definitely still there!

Thank you!

Cache was muggled. But it has been replaced today. New container and new log book. All set to go again. Cheers. The CO.

I think the tree has been pulled out where it should be!

We searched for ages and couldn’t find it

Not washed away, it's still there. Cheers.

Maybe has been washed away in the rain

Had a few hours to spare today so caught up with My good mate Omegaman1971, I was keen to tackle a few solved puzzles in the are as well as any other that were close by.

This is one of the caches we found on our travels. A short walk and a quick grab, was a case of attack of the killer ants here.

Thanks Sparra0907 for the cache.

Out and about with Rebel Acts for some Friday caching adventures.
Was great to be back in the area putting some smiles on the map.
Cheers Sparra0907 for the cache.

Found it it was actually the next tree on the ground and not sure where exactly it should be hidden?

Found this in decent condition was a nice easy cache to find ️

All good.

Found it TFTC

Easy found boy the geokids a few muggles around but all ok

I didn't know there was a BMX track back here! So cool

We Found it, nice little spot.

Good one! I left behind Castel the Crimson, good luck old friend!

The bag is torn, but the two Containers are tight.

Found at 3:02 pm.
Work had strongly encouraged everyone to take more annual leave so I took a couple of days off and did well on the weather timing. Today was perfect. I went for a drive to avenge a DNF I had plus then do a bit of free-styling plus a visit to my mum's place for lunch. All round a great day.
Arrived to see a couple of people on top of "BMX Hill" but luckily I didn't need to go there. Nice easy find once I got to where I needed to be.
Thanks Sparra0907 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Nice easy find, TFTC

Easy find at Casey fields. Checked out the cool bike track - will definitely come back with our bikes.

Great hide to help highlight the things in our area. Thanks for taking the time to place for our families enjoyment TFTC!

Tftc good spot never knew this area wag here (:

In the area today. Checked on cache.replaced log book with an all new waterproof one. Cache all good and dry.cheers.

Out and about with Trailstevo on a little hike in the area. I think we covered around 12km in the end walking from cache to cache like dot to dot. Its been a while since I was last here in the area, possible 3 years and plenty of new cache have popped up.
A fairly straight forward find tonight.TFTC
Thanks for the little adventure Sparra0907

Shopping in the area we stopped and found your cache.

We replaced the log sheet and zip lock bag and removed the old one as it was unusable, it was full of ants due to a chocolate coin that was left behind. We removed it and cleaned the cache. No muggles about as we dashed between rain storms to GZ.

Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Thanks you guys. Cheers for replacing the log-book and cleaning out the cache, we will check on it soon, as we will be in that area in the next few days. Cheers. The CO.

See previous log by cache owner.

The cache container is still there in its exact location. All the swaps and pen and pencil are all still in the container. The log-book is a bit wet but the cache is still obtainable. So if the next cacher that is going to look for this cache could bring a piece of paper with them to use as a log-book that would be great until we can get to this cache to replace the wet log-book with a brand new waterproof one. Thank You, who ever you are. and Cheers. The CO.

Thank You for replacing the log-book until we can get to service this cache.Cheers.The CO.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

[3D]

Ok. we will go out and check this cache out ASAP. Was only there at Christmas time and it was ok then. Cheers.

Cache found quite easily. But has been full of water and the log is no longer useful. Cache needs to be looked at. Thanks for the cache.

Found it quick and easy.. was unable to sign the log as it's waterlogged. Will send the CO a photo for proof. TFTC!

Log is destroyed due to water damage. Cache needs some love and looking at.

Christmas Eve caching run with Velocachu on the way to Franga to grab some late pressures and supplies.

Quick find close to home

We went out this morning to grab some caches in the area while we had a bit of time.
Fuelled by a caramel sundae from Macca's, I was ready to take on this cache.
There were a few HPVs heading round the track, but we were able to get to gz without any troubles.
A quick find, but the contents of the cache are quite wet.
Thanks for placing this cache and highlighting this (currently) peaceful area.

TFTC, Brainiac03

A quick find easily spotted. I trird to conseal it better. The grass was waterlogged and came back to the car with soggy feet.

The BMX track looks great and would like to return on a race/event day.

Good one

Good cache

Need to go for my streak. Terrible weather and my feet become so freeze as I did not wear my shower today s how silly I am but I always love to wear my thongs. Found your cache today. Sparra0907, thank you so much for placing it.

Found this after school athletics today. Cache was open with contents wet on the ground. We signed a damp log before reassembling and rehiding. Tftc and this track is awesome!

Easy find watch out for that scary rock

Easy find nice walk to location

Found!

Cache is still there...went to check on it today...may need replacing soon.

Found this one just lying in the grass. Replaced it in the logical spot and covered with some natural camo. The track looks pretty impressive. Nobody around in the early morning.

Easy to find. TFTC !

Bit of a climb but great hide!

The night before I was so close to this one undertaking another cache and did not even know this was here otherwise I would have come and collected but alas I did not and so I returned. Was an easy find once I worked out how to get here. Log was quickly signed and returned

Thanks Sparra0907 for the cache.
Found at 10:03 pm on 18/12/18.
Find # 1023

First of 2 caches found this morning, now I laughed when I saw the name of this one because I used to always think of my younher brother as a BMX bandit. Him and his bike were inseperable, well even at times they still are. Another quick and easy find this morning as I write up some logs in my car before work, thanks for the cache

Found with a little bit of help from some monkeys.

Me and my eldest geoson William went to his H.P.V training and decided to go find a geocahe. After about 20mins of walking in circles and nearly giving up twice we finally found what ended up being a pretty obvious hiding place

This was an enjoyable walk around the criterium track here. It is great location here and being a Thursday afternoon I had the entire place to myself. A little look and I soon noticed the cache and was adding my name to the log. All in all a fun little adventure.

Thanks to Sparra0907 for placing this cache.

Awesome looking track! Watched a pedal racer whizz round. Spotted the cache and had it in my hands in a few awkward minutes. Loved the find. Fave point from me! TNLN SL TFTC!

With a few hours to myself this morning in Cranbourne, I wandered about picking up a few loose caches scattered on my map. Another cache that had once eluded us is now a smiley face on our map. With the area totally uninhabited my search was far more thorough than last time allowing me to locate the cache with ease. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Nice find. Tough to get to when wet. Thanks for that

After not being able to grab some nearby due to muggles, this cache became a welcome relief. Geo girl spotted it before Dad. Thank you for the placement hereSparra0907

Found the cache in between niggles going by. Tftc
