I'm archiving this one as it seems like it would be a while before I could make it out for maintenance hopefully someone else can do something interesting with this special little park

I never had a teddy bear - my stuffed toy of choice was a beagle, apparently! But it was nice to collect this cache during a lovely bike ride with ruzzelz.
TFTC, Miss_Direction. =^.^=

Finally I am able to catch up on logging various caches found last month Surprised Today, I was out for a day of caching fun with barbbowman and bubba89 to find a nearby whereigo and a few other caches along the way Razz

We had a very enjoyable walk around the area and marvelled at the history of times past. After a short search, we were able to find the cache easily enough and with our names added to the log book, we continued on our way [^]

Thank you Miss_Direction for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy Big Grin

This was our last stop on our caching afternoon with Hallysgirl. Light was fading fast but we wanted to grab one last one and check out the teddies before dark. After searching high and low for 15 mins we set off to look at the bears. After reading the previous logs about the GPS being out a touch, we contacted the CO to get a further hint. Turns out we had looked three times at the hiding spot.... Cache blindness perhaps....I blamed the fading light and not my poor eye sight but will point out I was not the only one to look there. The locals have done a wonderful job with the teddies and I hope that everyone gets to come and enjoy the park. A nice little walk along the path too makes this a great final cache for the day. Pride hurt a little we ventured off home to start planning for our next day out. TFTC.
 
28-Jun-20
Lots of fun
 
27-Jun-20
Found. Had to go back to this cache twice but finally found it Smile
 
27-Jun-20
Will be out in the next couple of days to check coords, however, I took several readings when I placed this cache so you might have some problems with your device (or were searching on a particularly overcast day?) if your coords were that far out
 
27-Jun-20
Second time lucky! With a bit of help from CO.
TFTC!
 
27-Jun-20
TFTC FUN CACHE BUT A HARD FIND Coordinates were out by quite a bit.
 
26-Jun-20
I should be out to check on this one early next week
 
26-Jun-20
Couldn't find this one. Maybe time for CO to check on this one?
 
26-Jun-20
Didn't find. Looked for an hour and no luck Sad
 
26-Jun-20
Looked and looked! Couldn’t find it.
 
20-Jun-20
Is it just the teddys
 
15-Jun-20
After my first PT session in quite a few months, I needed a gentle walk to help keep my body from seizing up, and there was a smiley to be gathered here as well [^] I followed my phone to GZ, the hint said look here, and the cache was in the first spot I looked! Signed up with initials only, then decided to check out a few teddies. TFTC, Miss_Direction.
 
14-Jun-20
Finder number 3 of this one and we agree with previous finders that it may not last long in its current hiding spot. That saod TFTC from the inspectorrexteam. Log signed as IRT.

*FTF*

ftf with Brislions.

Ahh that familiar sound when the phone goes ding. A new cache and one that is not far away. It’s 10.30 at night is anyone going to go get it now, probably Brislions, so I’m going have to be fast, 
Got in the car and made it to GZ, no one here. Yippee, then a car drives by oh no, but it keeps going phew. Looking around the site and searching in all the area’s that are metal looking under the gym equipment, searching the bin, checking everything then a car pulls up its Brislions. We chatted for 30 secs and then started our search. Within a few minutes we had found the little rascal in what we thought may be a spot that may not last as a hide. Anyways a good outcome for a late night drive and play.
Thank you for placing this cache here and the experience of a late night search

***FTF*** After settling down at home watching TV, for some reason my emails were slow coming through. I check my email 10 minutes later. So off I go got to GZ. And found a UTE already there. it turn out that Chamad was already there. Been there 10 minutes already. Okay my turn walk up the first place to check and found the cache We sign the log and had a chat and home at 11pm.
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Miss_Direction TFTC *555* streak. *3382* Finds
