By HubbyandMrs on 19-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7NARM

Archived as lost too many times

To be investigated

Part of the cache was on ground it’s not do-able and have message the owner to replace it

so high up, we got a stick and tried hitting it down.. little clip fell down but container stuck up so basically needs maintenance

so high up! in such a obvious place but no one will ever reach it, the lid has fallen off aswell

It’s a little high :0

Need to be 12 feet tall at least to reach that. Looks like someone has thrown it up there trying to be hilarious. TFTC

yeah right dont know none that tall...how did you get that there...lol

Found the cache, for those who also have, you'd understand I was unable to sign the log. I've played soccer here for 20 years. ️️

This was way too high to reach lol but found it anyways ..

That was funny.

Too high to reach, and looks like it’s missing the lid

Foundd

Look up high , pretty easy to find

Found lid on the ground but cache is out of reach. Need an extendable ladder

When the previous logs said it was high .... I didn't expect it to be THAT high
So no log signed - but I was here
TFTC

Cant reach it, too high

Way too high to reach -.-

Found ️

Too short to fill the log, but found it with latoyamargaret

TFTC #10

Hmm

Was up a magnetic telegraph pole

Found.. but cannot get it down! Give credit to anyone who can get it down.. good luck!

Found but couldn't sign.. wish I knew I had to bring a ladder had some muggles watching me throw my shoe. Started feeling like it was time to give up! Might come back another day to sign.

TFTC, but unable to sign. My wings are still not developed to fly this high & grab it.

Found it, was not able to sign, don't think it is meant to be this high up??

@owner might wanna have a look.

Found but did not have a ladder to get up there to get it
I don’t even think my tallest friend can get that

anyone know a giraffe could not sign

Take a chair and your muscles

Tough find on game day but in between playing seasons and with lights out, had the place to myself for a quick find, thanks HubbyandMrs

We found it

On the way to an event in St Marys this afternoon I took the Great Western Highway - cheaper and I could grab a few caches along the way.
I turned off to Kevin Dwyer Park where there were a couple of muggles but all enjoying their own thing and taking no notice of me.

The GPS pointed me to a spot where the hint made sense so I took geocaching aid #1 and went over. I was just able to touch the cache, but move it........man that is some fierce magnet. It took quite some wrist bending, so much so it made me feel sick, and several minutes of twisting and turning and I finally had CIH.
Sat on my aid to sign the log then replaced as found - we want every cacher to have the same challenges!

TFTC # 3570

Found it

Found on the ground empty put back we’re we think it came from owner need attention

Might need a helping hand TFTC

Had to pick up my 11 year old nephew ro reach that one! Tftc.

Wow that was a tricky one. It was really far down for little arms. Was hard to get. Not so far down now.

Ocw oldmorty nice and early again
Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Out for another epic days caching with marj01; this time around Erskine Park, Orchard Hills, Kingswood, St Marys and Ropes Creek, suburbs that I would never have visited if I wasn't for geocaching. We found lots of caches; mainly nanos, minties and a few small sistemas plus a good old ammo can.
 
A big thank you to all the CO's who placed and maintain these caches.

Nice quick one as the place was deserted. TFTC.

Tftc - with the hint we went straight to the natural side of things. GPS kept pulling geoson away from it, we then realised it was the unnatural thing that mattered.

Find number 4401

We had driven past many times only to see the fields all in use either due to weekend sporting comps or school sports carnivals.

This evening we where heading home from visiting the hospital at Minchinbury and decided to take advantage of the quietness of a public holiday.

We quickly located the cache and soon had the log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks HubbyandMrs for placing this cache.

Found on way home from seeing Grandma in hospital thanks for the cache

With the sun right about gone, we ended up finding this a lot sooner than we thought. Had to finish up and get back in the car as our little Siesta is filthy and needs a car wash. Time to go! Thanks very much for the hide!

Found while out caching with WaywardWoman. Im tall so had no problems retrieving this one. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Combined effort with this one. Glad i was the observer in this one.

Lucky there was 2 of us as it took a combined effect.

Where there a will there’s a way and a strong back

Tftc

Reach for the stars first cache with some cute stuff in it

tftc the kids are loving it

Nice hiding spot for this one

A easy find despite Co ords being off a little.
Cache container good condition.
Log book new and dry.
I swap the mini cricket ball for a toy horse and fly.
No muggles today. Too hot.
I can hear bats in the distance....
Tftc

The forces are strong. TFTC

Got it TFTC

This funny child of mine... "why are we here, oh no! We're going to find a cache!?" (You all know that whiney kid voice!) Then he jumps out of the car and races to the pole he thought I pointed at! Oops!

Every time I've been here before one of our (4) boys has been playing football and there have been way too many muggles around. I'd previously set eyes on GZ and knew where the cache MUST be, just couldn't retrieve it. Now it's school holidays and the off season too.

TFTC, left a little swag item.

First geocatch pretty easy find

It was like opening treasure

Stretch and feel!!

Literally strech haha

Stretch is definitely on point, great find

Back again in Sydney to help and make life a little easier for my son and today it was time to add a few more smileys to my list.
The first eight finds today all were in parks or children's playgrounds which are not the ideal areas for an ageing Bushfire to be searching in.
Thankfully again this playground and adjoining playing fields were deserted so I could search without anybody watching so thanks to HubbyandMrs for placing and maintaining this cache.
Again I had to return to the White Beast for a tool to gain some height as I could feel but could not prize the container off or out of it's hidey hole.

Ticked off five out of six in the Kids series as I headed home from a family function nearby today. Nice variety with each a different container and hiding style. Fields and carpark deserted around 5pm on a Sunday afternoon other than one car with a snoozing driver who thankfully would pay no attention to my efforts to extract the cache. Man, that is one strong magnet!

Geocache No: 620
Time: 12:58
Condition: Good
Experience: This was our second Geocache for the day. We had stopped caching for a long time and decided we really wanted to get back to it and start hitting the find count that we really should be at. So, we decided to head out and got 11 for today.
This cache was easily accessible, easily found and in good condition.
Couldn't believe where it was but once we got there, it made sense.
Th park was all locked off and had to park up on the kerb and walk down. There was a muggle family playing nearby but we hung around a bit to make sure they wouldn't muggle the cache.
We didn't come up with much of a disturbance and we replaced the cache as found.

Thank you for the cache.

Awesome find! Could not have done it without my brother

This was tricky. Had me looking in trees due to my poor GPS. Kids first geo found and they loved it. We left an old skull key.

TFTC. Quick park n grab with geokids.

Quick found after work. Happy Geocaching Day !
TFTC

Nobody around here today so a quick find. TFTC

Tftc! A top spot first kids

Had a nice chat to the caretaker today, asked me what I was doing and explained myself - this cache is safe under watchful eyes - TFTC HubbyandMrs, I really enjoyed it!

A quick and easy find whilst out walking the dog. Everyone was to interested in the soccer game to pay us any attention.
Tftc

Quick stretch and grab. Tftc

Nice quick stretch and retrieved quickly TFTC

Today we went for a run around the field and other parks in the district and found all the HubbyandMrs caches that were on our to do list.
Found this one OK and quite a bit of muscle was needed, but we managed to wriggle it out of its well fitted location. No one was around to slow down the signing of the log, all was then put back in its proper position and the hunt then continued. Thanks for this placement go to HubbyandMrs.

We'd done four other caches in this series this morning and we had been lucky everytime. At each park there was no one else around to bother us while we searched, which is just what you want around playgrounds. I joked to Toriaz as we drove to this one that given our previous luck, we were surely going to find someone at this last cache.

How right I was!

We turned into the car park which was almost full. There were hundred (thousands?) of people all over the fields. It didn't really make a difference. I walked boldly up to the location and placed my hand right on it. We took it away to sign and then promptly returned it. I'm sure no one had any idea. Thanks

#5,492

All of those muggles happily watching their little munchkins kicking balls around, and none of them paying attention to two strange people who weren't interested in small round balls. We retrieved the cache right under their noses without anyone being aware of what we were doing.

And bonus - there were two pokestops at this park!

Thanks

Stopped by to do this one after sunset and had to contend with muggles playing football nearby so pretended to watch for a bit before wandering away to grab cache I realised fairly quickly where it was but extraction needed to be subtle and quick to avoid raising suspicions. With CIH I returned to watching while performing signing duties and then another stealthy move to replace. TFTC

After spending a couple of hours at indoor rock climbing Noodles22 insisted on finding some caches before heading home.
Thanks for the cache.

yikes! That was a tooth one to extract croon its hiding spot. Easy find otherwise.
Thanks for the cache

#1933 met up with alnic39 after work 2 years after my mum died. He suggested a cache was in order and he said he hadn't got this one. So off we went. Al found the cache before I had a chance to get my GPSr turned on

Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache HubbyandMrs

Cache upgraded and replaced. Size of the cache has been changed also.

Please take care when retrieving the cache and ensure that the container is completely locked before replacing with a firm hold

Thanks

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Temporarily disabled until a new cache is found placed

A quick find having figured out where the hide would likely be from about 100m away. Unfortunately, however, the lid of the cache and the log sheet are missing ... my guess is that the last finder didn't replace the lid properly and that the missing bits have gone into the abyss. I have taken a photo of the remains as proof of my find, if required.

Thanks for placing this cache HubbyandMrs.

We believed we had just enough light left to attempt one more cache so we stopped by here.

Thanks again HubbyandMrs.

Although the GPSr had us out in the open, there was a likely hiding place close by. Mr MR plucked out the cache after I initially checked the wrong place. SL TFTC

Out with the daughter giving driving lessons and grabbing the odd cache or two.

Streak Day #1759 - Out with dave8153 getting some last min things in prep for our birthday bbq and we had driven past here and went to bunnings as there was sports going on but by the time we finished at bunnings [and emptying our wallets lol] we came back and had the place to ourselves and made a quick find. TFTC

Cache find No. 2415
Streak Day: 870

Out running a few errands with Snoopy1976 and stopped by here for a quick find. TFTC

Had the place to myself. Quick find and replace.

Had to move the gate on my way out of the carpark due to the strong wind blowing it shut.

#4569- A short drive from #2 to here to find two workmen close to the playground. The GPS then told me that wasn't where I needed to be. Phew.
I strolled over and being a bit of a hobbit, rather than a kid, I doubted my ability to successfully grab it without doing what a previous finder did. But I managed it, and replaced it without mishap. Kids however would not be able to. Thanks
