Thanks for my first find!

That was difficult! But totally doable for someone who doesn't like to get in tight spaces. TFTC!

Tftc

Thanks very fun

Thanks

Cache was found after a short search. Thanks for the fun. Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumulated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Sol's day the twentieth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

A nicely made container that took some time to find. Cache is all goodTravelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache

Wow, cool cache; very creative and unique! Never seen anything like this before. TFTC;)

Eluded us this time! Hands and knees for half and hour. Hopefully its still there!

This one was an easy cache for me, as I though I had already found it, but it didn't show up as found. Tftc!

No luck here on my hands and knee and still couldn't get it it's a nice place so I will come back with helpers!

Nice find after a bit of a search. Cool container. All in good condition. TFTC

Great cache

And again another one, we did it! Very small

Found it at snail pace

Looked under the bridge would love a stronger clue.

I needed to still find a cache for the day so Papi4506 wandered down here after grabbing some shopping. As we had found it some years before for him, we at least had an idea of what to look for. Pleased to make a quick find. . . . this time. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks. Hands and knees dirty.

21:45Passing the car again after one hide here, I took another short walk on the path to begin another search.And actually spotted the cache... then ignored it until I'd wasted a bit of time by torchlight, before checking it out more thoroughly.Nice one, MKSAFamily. Considering I'd collected a bigger one of these only a week or two ago, this should have been a far easier find.#8882---This was not the direction I'd intended to go today, but hey, sometimes opportunities fall through. So when I got up at stupid o'clock to a message that my ride was unavailable, I went back to bed.A fine day of adventuring with my overseas friends ensued.When I finally decided I should probably get out and find a few caches, I discovered that in preparing for an early start, some fool had flattened the car battery by leaving an interior light on. No problem, I thought, I'll just grab the spare car. Except that it has a flat tyre... and a flat battery...By the time I had put enough charge into my car, it was dark. Same old same old, really.

Not Found at 09:31Another fall here. I don't know what I could be missing.

Ye my knees hurt now lol

Never found one like that, very nice!

30 minutes gone. We may come back.

Time for a DNF redemption. I had searched and searched and searched for this one previously.It turned out there was nothing there at the time to search for. I arrived today and took another look. Something immediately caught my eye and sure enough it was the cache.Thanks MKSAFamily for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------The Ballarat GeoTour ends on 4 March 2024!

Nicely done, we suspected and were right. Thank you

Finally found this tricky cache on a second visit after snails pace progress. David

Came back for round 2, and I knew where it was because it struck me on the way home from the first attempt. We found it immediately. Amazing cache.

DNF. We are definitely coming back soon!

The cache is now fixed and back in action.

Sorry for the big long delay. This cache is back in action.

Cache back in action.

Cache fixed.

Sorry, this has taken way longer than it should have. I will get the work on this finished and the cache back in action by 15 Jan 24.

Still working on fixing this cache.

Sorry there have been delays on this maintenance, though I do intend on fixing this up soon.

Still working on fixing this cache. I hope to finish it within the next month.

It seems to have disappeared. I will take it offline while I replace it.

Did not find it Might be taken by the muggles

~30 mins. Seems harder than a 2. I might need my eyes checked though: David

all i found so far is a cockroach ootheca

sad:(

I attempted to redeem a DNF but was still unsuccessful.
I even had a hint as to what the cache was, but after getting dirty and crawling around I still didn’t make the find. There are some spots I just couldn’t get to, so I might have to try again. Perhaps the D/T should be a little higher.

Previous finder was right! We discounted the spot for a bit before committing to it! Awesome. TFTC

DNF, came twice for a good 20 minutes and was unfortunately un-successful. No luck.

Did not find a bit anoyed

The cache was a little out of place but still there. Returned to its original position.

Another Dnf. Jeez

No luck for us today We will be back

This took us so long to find. Climbing under the bridge and clambering over rocks still left us empty handed. Finally after an eternity of searching, we found the little guy tucked away. This is the second time we have seen one of these caches, very cool! Thanks MKSAFamily

Searched everywhere but was unable to come up with the goods today.

I’m sure it’s there but it wasn’t my day.

No luck for us today...

That's a good one! Found father's dayc4/9/22

I had a few hours to fill in between attending an appointment in Bulleen and starting my afternoon work shift in Heidelberg, so I took the opportunity to do some geocaching.
As I walked towards this cache I looked at the playground and decided that perhaps my injured abdominal muscle would not appreciate a work out. When I got to GZ I did not like what I saw, but after reading a previous log I hoped that my muscle would be okay. No gain without pain, and soon I had the log signed and returned, ready for the next finder.
Thank you MKSAFamily for this cache.

fav cache i’ve ever found

Favourite geocache by far!! So sneaky and incognito, great find!

Second time looking for this and second time unsuccessful.
Must be over thinking this one. Will come back again another day.

TFTC! I took again a time, looking for. But then I realised where it could be. Nice cache. Creative.

Found by Rebel Acts

Another day out caching with Omegaman1971, today we were heading to the international ice cream day event so we did a few caches on route.

This is one of the caches found today.

Thanks MKSAFamily for the cache. With over 23,000 finds there is not much I have not seen, so once I was in the right position it was an easy find for me.

Logs signed as rebelacts or RAOM

Found by Omegaman1971


What a day!
International icecream day and some caching with my buddy Rebel Acts.
The only downside is the weather, looks like it's going to rain.

After finding this cache I can understand the recent DNF's.

Outstanding work MKSAFamily

I couldn’t find it

I spent a good time looking for it, but I could not find the cache. Could it be missing?

i have no clue where it is and i’ve just been getting weird looks

Couldn’t find it, nice hint though

Was a little bit out of position, but still there. Cache has been moved back to its intended original place.

Saw lots DNF quick look so moving on

DNF , after a long long combed on both sides of the bridge. CO was very very helpful but it's jus not my day. Got my geotools , swept all area. Despite CO zero for me , still no luck . Greetings from . Thanks again CO.

I had been in Kew for the morning and thought I would stop for a cache... or three... on way way home. No luck with this cache... not that the Hint was of any use...

The awesome clue helped us narrow down our search area but with 6 little eyes and 2 big eyes searching we still couldn't find it.

Find number 10329 at 12:11:37 pm on Thursday the 3 March 2022
Went out this morning to stretch my legs and grab a couple of geocaches along the way.
Looked around a little bit and then read some past logs, particularly the one from Riddler. So then I started looking for something that you would tend to discount and I had this tricky little sucker in hand in no time.
A favourite from me also
**Thanks for placing this cache MKSAFamily**

Great hint and great container! Definitely a fab point from us. TFTC

The first time I was here it was dark and the cache name threw me, today was a very long search not even close to where the cache actually was. So I called on a PAF who directed me to look for something else . Lucky or else I was about to pull out that purple pipe

Thanks MKSAFamily for Golf Ball

#5479

Wanting to grab a cache on this auspicious date decided to head out and finally hunt my nearest to home unfound cache. There were quite a few muggles about this evening but not too many thankfully, even then had to pause hunting for a while whilst walkers went past a couple of times! This one did take a while to find with lots of thoughts on where it could be before finally I had it in hand. Thanks to MKSAFamily for this one, nicely done fave awarded - and a cache for toosday!

DNF despite clearly having the correct area from the description/hint.
Reading through all of the logs now though, I have a feeling I may have looked at it and discounted...
Will have to come back and try again

Best ever, a favourite point from us.
We both spotted it earlier, but discounted it.
Mr Riddell eventually checked it out of desperation and voila!
Hard to get the log out. Recommend to bring tweezers.
TFTC

To many people around

TFTC. Took me a while.

Very sneaky. Wouldn’t know it was a geocache. Had to message and ask for some more help

Quality hide. Looked at cache plenty of times before finally committing! Thanks so much! Kids loved it!

Clever. Very clever! We had come past here a week ago and having deciphered the hint we decided it was best to come back with the kids.
Today we brought the kids for a play on the playground and a look for this cache. We searched a number of likely spots before coming back to something we’d already considered and said “Surely Not!”
A very clever hide. We will award a FP when we have one.
Thanks MKSAFamily for placing and maintaining this cache.

I found this cache today on my Doncaster to Heidelberg Geocaching Morning. Last time that I drove through here, none of these houses were around. Had me fooled for a while. I have seen about a half dozen caches like this in the past but this is the best made. Thanks from D B-A

I just checked and the cache is definitely still there.

Definitely not in the place indicated in the hint.

Deciphered the clue but still couldn't find it. Will try again later.

Had a good look but couldn't find. Will definitely try again as this is one of the regular playground for the kids

Apologies for the late log. Tarbit was in Tassie for a few weeks so I planned a Sunday of caching with SirJ-Oz whilst ensuring to stay in our revised (15km) limit. Today we just looked for an overlapping area where we both had a few unfound and then targeted whatever we came across in the nearby suburbs.

This was our first stop of the day but it required a couple of visits. We failed once before heading off to try another nearby and after receiving a PAF along the way we came back for another go. Our perseverance was rewarded and SJO made the find this time in a spot he had tried earlier. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache MKSAFamily.

Find #4944. Found @ 11:31 with Annoying Tarbit

After many virtual puzzle solving evenings over lockdown Annoying Tarbit and I have solved lots of puzzles in various places around the state. With the travel restriction boundary still being 15kms from home, and with both of us being fully vaxed, we decided to meet up for some exercise... and ignore all the caches that we'd solved and hit some others that were in our overlap area.

This was the first and third of the day, as we scored a DNF, moved to the next and then came back via here on the way back to the car. It helped that we had some additional information from a PAF on the second visit.

It turns out that I made the find on the first visit, but the log fell out of the camouflage before I looked at it. Luckily, the log was still in place where the cache was sitting on the revisit. Note to the CO, you might want to check that the cache is how you intended, as it would be very easy for things to go awry here based on the condition of the hide as we found it.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache MKSAFamily

We looked for a fair while for this one with no luck. We did however find a magnet with a bit of tape, where we thought the cache might be, don't know if that's at all related. Will have ti come ba k for this one!

We did some maintenance and fixed this cache. It is now there as it should be.

Will come back again!

Found it... Great hide. Took a little while but we were kicking ourselves when we finally found it!

Found it TFTC

Sooo sneaky! Well done!

Amazing!

Wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at to begin with! Love a bit of a different cache. Found with Prin666cess TFTC

This my second attempt on this one and managed to make my mark. Very tricky little natural hide. I remember when this was the golf course. How our area has changed and I am not sure if it is for the better. What a great park this is. I must bring the grand kids here. Thanks for bringing me here MKSAFamily

Wow a red hot hint on this one!! TFTC Glad to be the first to stamp the new log.

Cannot figure out the hint.

No

Log replaced and maintenance performed.

Found at 3:47 pm.
Out and about with 2 of our geokids so we could look for some caches right near playgrounds without looking suspicious with the added bonus that the kids could get outside as well.
Fleabag- had problems with this one initially but after a thorough search he soon spotted something out of place this time.
Great hide. A favourite for me.

Thanks MKSAFamily for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
