**LONGEST NOSTALGIC NOTE IN THE HISTORY OF ALL NOTES* They allow 4000 chanceries I couldnt help myself. Promised myself I would not cry though! I am the owner of this here confirmed AWOL & MIA cache. Bit of a bummer its gone actually *sniffle* to anyone else sure yes it was a random, super ugly chunk of concrete waste material but that heavy toad of a rock was my first lovingly handcrafted container and I was proud of the big nugget. I had so carefully drilled a hole and concealed the tin for the log in there, I really was so chuffed to bits with it at the time. Why would anyone make off with the ugly loaf of concrete? The answer is they wouldnt, they probably didnt, for once in their shady lives, whoever they are. LOL These things happen. After all, nug-nug was lounging here with newfound purpose for about four years.If you ask me, thats a pretty exceptional innings for a cache but especially one which was an otherwise useless and unwanted block of concrete. Its probably just been kicked or chucked in to the shallow drain which runs parallel to this road. Im pretty sure I could see it down the embankment but Oh well. Let us not dwell on caches in the past, caches loved & lost. After all its better to have loved caching and lost a cache than to never have known what the love of caching is at all. My second homemade cache container I am super happy to see, is still alive and well, just down the path a way. A chunky top of a bit of fence I found like a kid finding a buck in the gutter man I was so happy with how cube-like it was. I remember running home to make it in to a badly hinged but darling none the less, wooden box just the right size for its job really. Why not go find that one whilst youre here finding this one which I have now replaced. There is a trinket for the first to find the replaced cache too. It says got cache? On one side and from Lockchick on the other. I was learning how to engrave on metal so its a dog tag in the shape of a bone. So random I know. Very rare and highly collectible though Being the only one I ever made
 
22-Aug-24
Replaced the cache which was not here no more see the epic note lol Now a much smaller cache youve seen one like this before, its not as unique but it is replaced and ready to go

just like the last log for this cache, I was unable to find it. had a look around, wasnt able to find anything. this cache may be there somewhere and I wasnt looking in the correct spot, or this may need a checkup and possibly a replacement
 
04-Apr-24
At furlong bike ride, and this was my fifth stop, and my first DNS.I had been provided a photo of the container, and could not find anything that not only fit the hint, but had a container inside. I searched out a good 25 meters.It could still be there, and I just suck. But I wont be back unless its been verified to still exist. But Im still having a great time
 
07-Jan-24
Im taking a stroll from Mawson Lakes to Northgate.The container could definitely be there, I just didnt search for very long.Having a great day, though!

Enjoying doing some more caching while travelling with goingplaces2 and adding more smileys to the map. Had a good day and signed all the found logs. Doing some LGA's where we haven't cached before. TFTC.
 
20-Sep-21
Another part of today's target was to pick up some caches in LGA's of Adelaide that have not been done before. Enough were found to fulfill this aim with ilook4geo. There was no difficulty in locating the hides and signing the logs with two more names. Each target cache was chosen purely at random. Thanks for this cache placement go to Lockchick.

05-Nov-20
Toured the Mawson Lakes and Burton areas in search of geocaches after attending the 'For the Early Birds! #21' and 'CITO - George Street Wetland' events earlier in the day. Came to the conclusion that caching around Mawson Lakes was not all that easy, with some tricky hides, difficult parking opportunities and a few caches that I couldn't find, some presumed missing. Looking forward to heading out north that way some time soon to search for the caches I didn't get this time! Thanks for the cache Lockchick!

After a Breakfast event Sir Spectre, mogni, Michells&Hound, JJ52 and I headed north to find some caches. Most of them were puzzles that had been solved with a few others along the way. A good day with good company.
 
09-Aug-20
Out and about with the Southern crew finding caches north of the city. Today the JAMS team consisited of JJ52, Allister W, mogni, Michele and Hound and sir_spectre. We had lots of fun and found lots of challenging hides.
Thanks to Lockchick from mogni Big Grin
 
09-Aug-20
Out with the JAMS team today. All logs today stamped with the " JAMS " stamp. The team today was JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, Michells&hound and Sir_Spectre. Some caches were found before The Breakfast Club #9 event and many more after the event. The day was planned to get more caches with the work " Reel " in it but it turned out to more a day filled with " The Mare Hare " caches with others trads and multi's in the mix. A couple of Dnf's were cleared off the list, as those caches were missing on my last trip through that area and a fun day by all was had.

I needed a puzzle find and at least 3 caches today so Rex and I went caching tonight and found 4 Smile caches: 1 puzzle and 3 trads[^]

Rex and I enjoyed a stroll down this path and over the creek to make this find after having made the previous find along the pathCool[^]
Rex loves creeks and all the associated scents and sights[^], which kept him occupied while I searched for this cacheCool
This one was a much quicker find than the last cache find, that's for sure!Cool

I was passing not far from this cache today, so made a short detour. I parked quite close and knew where I needed to be searching as soon as I saw GZ. And it wasn't long before I had the nicely cammo'd cache in hand and my name in the logbook. Thanks Lockchick for the cache.

Cache #2301. Last of two caches found today.
This morning, I went to Mawson Lakes for business. After that, I found 2 caches on my way back to the office.
Parked nearby, and walked to the GZ.
Actually, I tried this cache about 3 or 4 months ago, with no luck. But today, I found it in the first place I checked. Nice hide!
Signed the log, and hid it back.
1 star difficult rating? It's at least 1.5 or 2 stars, for me.
Thanks for the cache, Lockchick.

Another Wednesday Wander for the Puzzled Puzzlers group. Today's plan was to go and try and rectify a few DNF's that we had been collecting lately, plus any others that we may be passing. Cool Today's crew was myself, Doctor Owl, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats zooming around in the Owl-mobile. Although I got two off the DNF list and had a further DNF at another I also added another two. Twisted Good grief. [B)]

Walking up from the partner cache to this one I was able to make a quick find. Smile No for the walk back to the car! [^]
