Unable to maintain

Kids loved the puzzle box. Thanks

Really cool concept! Found pretty quickly as the box was fully out in the open. Replaced it where I found and covered with some natural camo. Thanks for the find!

Nice!

TFTC

Easy find on a windy Sunday morning stroll

Easy find. Love the puzzle box!! TFTC

Finally!! My First Puzzle cache!! TfTc, It was good fun.

Beware of snakes

Geo-Rabbit initially went straight past this hide, had to do some backtracking. Once in the gz the puzzle opened and clues obtained, SL it was replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers. Thanks goes to the CO for maintaining this cache and bringing us to this location.

Best one ever!! Love it. Sadly as I sat down to open it I noticed a bit that was on the ground a little buried into the sand. I’ve put it in the container to keep all parts together.
Awesome puzzle.

Found with richlink
Thanks for the cache shaunieben.

Rain has abated but it was still a chilly wind blowing. Found with ILT.

Our first puzzle! So much fun. Thank you

Helped a little fella get of the road before the hunt for this one.


This is 442 find for me.
Thank you shaunieben for the cache.

With some time on our hands today we decided to get outdoors and find a few caches. This was one we managed to hunt down today. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there shaunieben, I was in this area today and found your cache Puzzle Box #1 GC8J5J4. I added my name to the log book at 11:45 am on 15 April 2021. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Bagged this one on a cloudy afternoon after Seroja passed through up North. Geowife had to help me with this one but I'm sure I would have gotten it.......eventually! T4TC shaunieben!

Ah ha, I've seen this kind of puzzle box before. On to the next. TfTC

Look around the bush that doesn’t move.

I found the container on a hot day abs after a quick look decided air conditioner was better for solving. So back to the car I went. After a few minutes I finally cracked the puzzle and gathered the clues for the final.

Thanks for a great cache

Cheers

Ah this took a tad longer.

TFTC

Mr &an with her famous trick finally opened this.

Have a similar puzzle box at home but mine is a little different.

Stumbled upon the solution by mistake to finally get the log book in my hand.

Thanks shaunieben for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2540 for me.

The Better Half and I came down to do the new puzzle cache and some other caches around this area. Walked up to where the tablet told us was ground zero and found nothing. Read a few previous logs and saw that others had found the cache 8 metres away from their ground zero so expanded the search and found the cache to the SOUTH. (Pity others hadn't included what direction to cut down the search area.)

Had a more complicated one of these puzzles as a teenager so knew what to do to get it open so soon had the log signed. Puzzle box reset and cache returned as found.

Thanks shaunieben for the puzzle box and placing this cache for us to find.

Chwiliwr and I came down to do the new puzzle cache and some other caches around this area. Walked up to where the tablet told us was ground zero and found nothing. Read a few previous logs and saw that others had found the cache 8 metres away from their ground zero so expanded the search and Chwiliwr found the cache to the SOUTH.
Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks shaunieben for the puzzle box and placing this cache for us to find.

This cache took us longer than it should have done to find. Once it was in hand it didn't take Geohusband long to open it. Tftc

Out with RSJ who blitzed the finds and the puzzles. I really enjoyed this series. I would say the difficulty is in order with the numbers - it got harder as you go. Definitely no need to be rough - slow and gentle wins the race. Thank you for taking the time to place and maintain this series. A great walk and we just got through before the storm hit.

Out and about today with geodog M and geotrakka and this is a great little series. Loved the puzzles, much better than mathematics. Sltnln. Thanks for the cache guys, fave for all

Late start out with Lndnlad picking our brains over how to crack these crafty caches. After a few unsuccessful minutes in my hands, Lndnlad was straight onto it. TFTC

First puzzle box done. Found once search expanded a little. Got the box open straight up

Not knowing about this series, I thought I’d pick up a couple of trades in between some shipwrecks.

The first one was a little south of where I thought (and others) of searching first in the low wide green leafy bush.

The puzzle took a bit of time to work out but I eventually got it opened. A small piece of wood has been dislodged and I have sent the CO a photo.

I got three of the puzzles done today but muggles at the final meant the last will have to wait.

TFTC shaunieben

I know this puzzle box but I could not get open, perhaps my fingers are not strong enough one of the parts has come loose completely but it shouldn’t affect use. Fun find regardless though

Thankyou, very cool start

Woop woop found this and code received brought a friend out to try some cches while GeoKids are at school

[:o)]

Found this one about 8 metres from the indicated position,

I have seen this puzzle box before, so I had a good idea on how to open it.

The cache was not sealed properly and was full of water. The box has absorbed on some water. One of the bands was very loose, the PVA glue was soft, and the slide was stiff. Even with these issues, the puzzle was solved, the log signed, and information obtained.

This cache will add to my next 2020 goal to REACH FOR THE MOON.

So nice to be out in the open after so long in lockdown.

Thanks shaunieben for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 12:42:00. This was my Find 1 for today out of a Total number of 7 Finds and 4 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 5005.

Bit tricky but got it open TFTC

Out with axell33 and geopups and we are glad to be out of the house! Axell33 had this one as we have one just like this, and I love these clever little boxes. Thanks for the cache.

After being yard bound with the isolation issues it was time to take the geohounds out for a good walk. So whilst we were out walking we happened to be passing your cache and couldn’t resist the temptation. After a brief search we found the prize, knowing it was a puzzle cache I was worried it was going to be a head scratcher but as soon as the container was open I let out a sigh of relief. Having one of these at home we were straight into it. We signed your log and returned your cache back to where it was found. That’s 2 of the 3 done. TFTC shaunieben.

Out for a morning caching run with Cravo10 to pickup a bunch of caches from Falcon back to Rockingham.

Met up at the local Cockburn Gateways and headed south with one stop off on the way into Falcon, we meandered our way through the Mandurah area and back through to Rockingham with the goal of twenty finds ticked off before mid day.

Left a few aside for another day, which hopefully won’t be too far way in the current times.

Thanks shaunieben for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

Brilliant little puzzle had us thinking tfth

This cache is still in play

I tried to find this cache today, but my luck was not good, or maybe it was my eyesight, or maybe it was not there. Will have to return at a later time effect a find.

This was my 2 DNF out of 3 DNFs and a total of 5 Finds on this outing.

All down to PP1. I have no choice but to wait in the car at the moment luckily he has come across this style of box before TFTC shaunieben

Like previous logs this was about 8 metres out for us. We have come across this type of puzzle box before so were signing the log fairly quickly.
TFTC shaunieben this is find #9197 for us.

Decided to come down for a walk and pick up this small series of caches. Im not very good at doing these puzzles so i resorted to facetiming the hubby who is overseas working to tell me how to do them. Done all 3 of them then realised i hadnt read the description properly and hadnt got all the info required. I reopened numer 3 as i was still there but i will have to come back another day to go back to the other 2 so i can get the rest of the info to pick up number 4. TFTC shaunieben

Our GPS had us 8m off. A lot of head scratching when we had the clever cache in hand. Finally able to sign moved onto #2 hoping that this was the hardest and it would only get easier. TFTC.
