Geocache got muggled Sad
 
31-May-20
Not really a DNF, more a CNL (Could Not Look). If I did the hide would definitely have got muggled.
Another day of good weather so out for another bike ride for a little while. Heaps of people about which is no surprise.
There were so many people in this park today as I rode past that I doubt they were 1.5m apart. Anyway being in a playground and with that many people I just had to ride by. I will have to somehow come back in the dark or bring my kids.
Thanks MKSAFamily

While cleaning up the photos in my album, I noticed that I hadn't logged this one. I remembered the clever hide and great camouflage, especially on my birthday. After logging it, I enjoyed relaxing on the bench and watching the kids have fun in the playground. A fav from me.

An elegant hide - great work! Thanks MKSA family

More to this one than meets the eye - much more.
Clever idea, craftily executed, and very worthy of a favourite

I can see why this cache already has so many favourites
So simple, so obvious but so clever. Great hide. Gets a favourite from me. Well done.

Needed a find for the 2020 leap year souenior and a short detour home from work took me to this one.
What an awesome cameo, definitely a favorite from me.
Luckily no muggles around this morning so easy to search
Left 2 bouncy balls, a dog, horse, and car.

I had been laid up for the past few days but today knew that I had to get out to make the most of a 1 in 4 year opportunity.

I get to the GZ and had a cursory look to no avail. It was on closer inspection that I found the well executed cache. TNLN. TFTC.
 
29-Feb-20
I wasn’t expecting this hide! Very nicely done!
A muggle on the swings left shortly after I arrived, so I had the park to myself.

Thanks MKSAFamily for Bent Willow

I was heading out to a CITO and another event in Ruffy Park with Echidna44. She had already found this very clever hide but I had not found it so she stopped on the way so I could get it.
 
29-Feb-20
Out early for the 29th day to log. No early muggles here to day. Excellent made cache here. I have just come back from Albany which has one very similar. Thanks for the cache MKSAFamily. It gets a fav for construction.

Four years ago on *Leap Day* I "found" 5 caches and so later on when I wanted to qualify for a Double Calendar challenge, I was surprised to discover that I still needed to find one more cache on 29th February... and then I read the *fine print*... I needed 2 physical caches and 4 years ago, 4 of my 5 "finds" were events Sad.

I wasn't going to make the same mistake this Leap Year and so after attending 2 events this morning, I was out this afternoon chasing physical caches... in the end I totaled up 4 Traditionals, 2 Mysteries and 2 Multis... that should cover most challenges for the next 4 years Big Grin.

Thanks **MKSAFamily** for putting this cache out here.

Wanting to find a cache today for the special date and after dropping T&T off at a friends place I looked for a close unfound cache and this one became the target so headed off to the other side of the freeway for the hunt. Parked opposite the thankfully empty playground so I was able to hunt and soon had the very well done cache in hand. Thanks to MKSAFamily for this one.
 
26-Feb-20
I didn't look at the hint so was surprized and pleased to find such a well constructed cache container. Thanks MKSAFamily.
 
24-Feb-20
I deleted my previous log so I could rewrite and do this cache justice. To place a cache of this size in a high muggle area also the disguise and construction are great. Well done MKSAFamily for this cache especially while the micro and nano seem to be the norm in these areas. TFTC
 
24-Feb-20
I like the idea. Hopefully it will be enough to fool the muggles. TFTC.

Found at 13:41
Luckily the playground was empty and I was able to search in peace. I was expecting a standard container but was pleasantly surprised to find more effort put into the container.
Thanks MKSAFamily for the cache. A fav for me.

On my way to Bonnie Doon I stopped for this cache. A fabulous hide, but not sure how long it will last because it’s near the playground. Thanks MKSAFamily
 
16-Feb-20
Cute hide! Hint was a bit of a giveaway though. Kids found it immediately.
 
14-Feb-20
I had a call out for another caching run with a few good buddies, so I couldn't resist. Another fun day was had by all and a number of caches collected. Thanks for the fun.

@ 6124 finds
Out in the area with Rebel Acts and Trailrunning to put some smiles on the map.
Rebel did seem a little distracted by the thought of picking up his new puppy in the afternoon, but we still had a great time caching.
Cheers for the cache.

I had the day off and had to make My way to the Airport to pick up My new puppy so I decided to make a day of it and catch up with a couple of good caching mates through out the day to go find some caches, I visited quiet a few parks today so many they all seemed to blur into one, I had several puzzles in my found pile and concentrated on those and a few other trads on route. This was a nice hide but am not a fan of playground caches.

Thanks MKSAFamily for the cache.

A brilliant hide that gets a favorite point from me.
Very nicely done.
Had the park to myself so it made for an easy find.

Brilliant hide, different to what we have seen thus far, props for the elegant camo

An impressive start to what will hopefully become a sought after set of geocaches!
I had been hoping to find a cache hidden on 02/02/2020 and here it is.
Surprisingly quiet here at GZ for a fine Sunday afternoon.
Dropped of Chewbacca Traveller to continue his quest, following a year or so out of sight.
Took the Burger King Lizard Dude (Not sure of his name yet) Planning on making him trackable and setting him free again soon.
Thank you for the well crafted hide MKSAFamily.
Worthy of a favorite point.
