By Pinkpiggy7 on 24-Dec-18. Waypoint GC81MAT

Such a busy road!! Nice, easy find.TFTC

No hints but plenty of mints. Very quick, easy grab. TFTC

Out cacheing cleaning up the puzzles I have solved and a few others finds along the way.Sl thanks for the cache

Easy find on my way back from my cousins place

I had a half day at work and finished up around noon, so what should I do with my extra time... Cache of course!I decided to try and target a few caches that would help me work towards some challenge caches I have had my eye on. So when I saw that this cache had the **"No Stealth Required"** attribute, I quickly added it to today's targets, as I still need to find a few more caches with the **"No Stealth Required"** attribute in order to work on qualifying for [Jamin Appleford's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=8b39e499-2ef1-42f7-8b4e-07e9ed9799b3&wid=9ba212cf-5c5c-43d0-a71c-d8f369f2df49&ds=2) [WCT Nobody's Watching Challenge (GC9DNE6)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9DNE6).With the weather being wet and rainy, this park and grab was the perfect one to start on. I was able to pull the geomobile off on the side of the road, and with a name like *"Dirtbags Mint Tin in a guard rail"* I had a good idea of what I was looking for lol. I was able to park the geomobile, hop out, retrieve the cache, and hop back into the geomobile all with in a minute before I got too wet. Of course, just as I was about to put the cache back the rain came down heavily. I had to wait a bit for the rain to lighten so I could put it back without being complete soaked.A big thank goes to [Pinkpiggy7](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=eaa1e02c-5a02-4542-b1ad-d2e429ced493&wid=fb6cd178-af58-4070-ab78-6c567b293815&ds=2) for the fun quick find today. TFTC.**Cache Maintenance Status**The cache container was in good shape. The attachment mechanism still seemed strong. The logbook was clean and dry. However, the logbook is getting a bit full, there is probably about one third of the back still free for future cache finders to sign.

A quick find after a long time looking for a dnf beforehand - strong magnet on this one. tftc

Lol talk about a literal description in the title! It almost doesn't even need a description!! Obviously a nice quick, easy find here on our way to search for elephants!! TFTC!!

Out to do some caches with beckgiz to wrack ip the numbers and try out the new truck :3

What can i say? It didnt dissappoint

A quick park and grab, A DGS favourite container for sure.


Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

Found whilst going for a walk in the local area with the wife and dogs on mother's day.

Out for a bit of geocaching today .. Upper Beac seemed like a good idea. There are still a few caches in the area I am yet to claim… looks like mainly Pinkpiggy7’s caches today .. I appreciate all the effort you put into adding to out geocaching experience Pinkpiggy7 .. this one made me laugh.. but honestly I like the way geocaching is a game everyone can play .. I don’t mind a GRC with parking.

Quick easy grab and go. TFTC

Out with geocache hubby on the last day of 2022. It’s late afternoon and still hot but we decided to get to a few more caches before ringing in the new year.
Thank you to the CO for placing this cache. As usual the search was enjoyable

Not blue this time!

Found

Still haven’t got around to get this cache I have really poor eyesight so I would probably struggle to see it but if a NM is required I have plenty of real caches in stock if needed

On my way to find some nearby DGS caches so I thought it would be fun to add this cache to the mix. What can I say, hmm maybe I expected a mini ammo tin,,,but yes I see the homour.

In Melbourne to attend the Mega at Whittlesea with tmann421.
Enjoyed the short trip around locating a few caches before heading to the event

Thanks to the cache owners for the efforts with the hides

Arrived in Melbourne to attend the MEGA Event at Whittlesea with woolwood9.
We came over a few days before to do some geocaching in the area first!

A nice quick park and grab.
Log signed and all back safe again.
Cache is in good order.

Nice easy one thanks Pinkpiggy7

Geokiddos decided late in the day they wanted to find treasure. This was one of the closest and easiest to get to for us.

Find number 9899 at 2:00:41 pm on Wednesday the 17 November 2021
Out and about grabbing a few more geocaches today, hoping to get about 20 or so but that all depends on my luck. A combination of park and grab and walking between determine my success.
Just what the doctor ordered
**Thanks for placing this cache Pinkpiggy7**

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

Working our way through re enabling our caches.

To many people are finding our caches in breach of lockdown provisions, disabling until things are open again.

Found it TFTC

The cache was found exactly where it was supposed to be.
My driving maneuver to retrieve the cache was a little bit dodgy.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.
Chiefton!!!

Great find!

Lone wolf caching today.
Holidays are magnificent.
Dropped an impressive path tag.

How could we resist the temptation of finding a drive-by Dirtbag’s mint tin. Cache found surprisingly easily considering’Dirtbag’ was in the name.
Thanks for the cache.

Out caching in the cardinia reservoir area today with Brainiac03. With the main target being the Reservoir itself and as many multi caches as we can grab along the way.
With no major issues during the rather successful day we managed to have a rather productive day. Thanks for the cache.

Today, buhfuhguh and I were out on another caching run, this time in the Upper Beaconsfield/Emerald region with a focus on passing by Cardinia Reservoir before the weather started to heat up and our battle plan was forced to change.
A very hot day for geocaching but still a lot of fun (and nothing that the Astra's air con couldn't handle) filled with plenty of fantastic finds along the way!

The cache was a mint tin, the cache was in a guard rail.
Can't argue with the title.
Quick finds are good finds.
Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for hiding this cache!

TFTC, Brainiac03

We found his cache today on our Late Afternoon South of Cardinia Reservoir Romp. Probably the easiest Dirtbags find that we will make. Thanks from D & HA B-A

The last cache for 2020, I've been saving this one for when I needed it and today was the day Bakinglove13 used her newly acquired driving skills to get us here, her first chance to drive for a cache while I navigated for a change.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7

A nice easy cache just before work. TFTC and Happy New Year

CAche checked all good to go

1039am

Name says it all really.
In the area doing a delivery and needed a spot to park the trailer. Pulled over and thought “with such a heavy cache density these days there would surely have to be a cache here”, and sure enough, here it is.

TFTC, Cheers.

Disabling due to the current situation

Today we played a game with ilook4geo called one, two, skip a few, three, four, skip some more. So we ended up with an assortment of traditional caches, multis and puzzles. A lot seemed to end up being fire or war related, but they were all good.
This cache was an easy find and both names were soon written on the log before all was replaced as it had been found. Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for adding this cache to the game.

Out on a caching trip today with goingplaces2, finding caches that were just picked off the map and really just because they were there. All were in good order. This was one of the ones we found and signed. TFTC.

A quick find, on a very busy road.

Best Dirtbag cache I've found so far....

I think I can say I am a fan of the Dirtbags (but also a #proudnondirtbagmember) and also an admirer of Pink Piggy and all the things that he does for geocaching.

As such when seeing that this cache was a Christmas present between the two, and it being Christmas day, I had to drive to collect it.

Pretty busy road today but this Dirtbag's Mint Tin in Guard Rail was quickly found, signed and replaced between cars.

Thanks for the cache Pink Piggy 7

MontsII was out and about and went caching today. On his travels he found this one, as Beck is still stuck in the house. I explained the joke behind this one, which he appreciated. TFTC Pinkpiggy7

Another quick find as we approached the preChristmas get together.
Thanks Pinkpiggy.

Nice drive. Nice fine

Out on a Sunday hopefully to put some smiles on the map, also trying to get through my solved puzzle list.
Always great to out caching but even better doing some caches from one of the nicest Co's I have ever met, Pinkpiggy7 is an absolute gentleman.
I do remember when Pinkpiggy7 received this container, I'm sure it was a xmas event.
Love a drive-by cache....sometimes.

A very quick find here. Don't think we even got out of the car! A true driveby!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Pinkpiggy7

Didn't think we'd ever see dirtbags and mint tins in the same sentence. Great idea for a cache. Did get into a little trouble for not pulling up closer. Oh well. Thanks for the cache.

Found at 1:49 pm.
After a weeding CITO and another event this morning it was also earth cache weekend and I was lucky enough to join up with Papi4506 & OzHockeyChick and we headed out to Narre Warren to continue our days adventure. It was fun with each of us getting some caches that either one of both of the others hadn't found and could laugh at each other (I mean help each other) find the caches.
Pulled up the car and parked quite badly so sadly I actually had to get out of the car here to grab this one. I'll try and get the next one through the open window.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Third and final GF-eve cache. Quick and easy find. Now this is a dirtbag cache that I CAN get to without raising too much of a sweat

As usual it seems when I am caching out in these parts it’s an early start and as many caches as I can find before I need to head off to other more mundane tasks. After a find nearby I headed on to this one as my next target. There weren’t many people around at this time of day and certainly this spot proved to be deserted. A quick stop and it proved to be easy to find in the likely hidey hole. My second find of twelve on a pleasant morning to be out this way. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7.

Out and about with geo son pimpmyballoons. He had a 1st birthday gig in the local hall so I joined him to check out the area. WHOW what a beautiful part of the world, it would be even better with a little bit of sunshine so we could enjoy a view. Parked and picked it out. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7

Super quick easy drive-by fine with easy road side parking

I headed out with biggles1024 for a bit of a cache run in between the rain and the sunshine, it was a very strange day weather wise.
I remember the day when the CO came into possession of this cache container and today we were able to find it out in the wild.

**Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.**

I headed out this afternoon for an impromptu caching run with SteMicMitSar. We had to constantly duck showers the entire time and the wind was extremely cold. A nice quick find here and how considerate of PP7 to place one of the Dirt bags favourite types of containers.

**Thank-you to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this geocache**

Giggle snort, Dirtbag sticker nearby and then there is a ‘illegal dumping’ sign nearby...might be my twisted sense of humour but I giggled.
TFTC

Found while out and about today. I saw the Piggys get this at the event and am glad they hid it well. Nice to have a good parking spot handy as well. TFTC

Cache check a bit of creep but returned to where it belongs.

Missed it the first look, after a quick look around got it... Thanks

Drive by find on the way home from some other caches. Found after a couple of hours searching! TFTC

Wow, a mint tin in a guard rail. Could be worse I guess. You could have made us park miles away to walk in for this one.

The cache itself was in very clean condition. I almost gave it a favourite point. Almost, but, y'know. You just *can't* give a favourite to a mint tin

A quick find this morning, not long before the rain started. In good condition.

Bringing the Upper Beacy caches back online

Disabling for a short while,

I would just write a tftc but considering i am a dirtbag and knowing this cache was directed at us and what we stand for. I couldnt just do that now could it.


Ahhhh the wonderful guard rail so many within our wonderful state amongst all the rubbish found as we parked and stepped out. It was a near miss of spew and spider webs.

Hats off for using a decent magnet though.

I was there when this was received but I did not see it published. So when I saw it on the map tonight I had to come and get it. Surprised to see it is still here.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

On my way home I could not help but stop for this great little cache. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams. PS: Sorry for the late log.

Out and about last Tuesday with Trailstevo and whilst staring at the map I spied a little walk (with some suggested hills) and a few local drivebys that needed some attention. Off we trott on the warm evening and on arrival realising that I had been here before, which I soon realised why. We completed our circuit, collected the clues and picked up the mystery cache. Then off to some country roads for the other quick finds but we did decide to leave one which had a dog nearby and as it was late we didn’t want to concern any neighbours. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 and SmokeyBear for the fun and adventure, think we scrapped through double figures which is not bad for a Tuesday night!

Out with Gunks for the first serious night of caching. Did a loop around for 5 caches then a bunch of drive bys. Nice night for caching. Decent walk early. TFTC

Who could resist a mint tin in a guard rail? Especially a limited edition one at that. Had to be seen to be believed! Having found an awesome Dirtbags cache earlier in the day, it seemed somewhat ironic to find this one... but they all count to the numbers Adding this one to my list of STFs. TFTC

"Get moving"... ..it was cryptic... attached...a GC code... and me...I was at home, contemplating my nightly choices... at this moment, there was none. {FTF} on the line, and after taking stock of what I was to do...I realized... saving troubled my nothingness... ..it could wait.
Tftc!

This makes me laugh out loud.......
