Easy cache tftc

L

Found it! Lots of nice swaps.

TFTC!

Easy find while in the parking lot

Found it in the open, concealed it a little more when we left

Visiting Perth for a couple of days to catch up with family and dental and medical checkups. Thanks for the hide.

Easy park & grab

A bit too obvious normal passer bys might see it but but cool loved having a jam at the skate park then coming to this one!

Came back and Thanks for the find

DNF

Checked up on this and was found to be muggled yet again. Replaced once again.

Out and about collecting a few more smileys on a beautiful day. No trouble here... cache in great condition. TFTC

Mini cacher was very excited to find this one! Thank you

TFTC. The closest to FTF we have had.

Geocache has been replaced once again and available for game play

This cache has been replaced once again and is ready to go with lots of new treasures inside! Its a bit bigger and in the original position. Contents are packaged to prevent water damage. First to find prize is a gem (or whatever you want really). Enjoy

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by jotslo and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition and waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

Instead of using the hint and describing another garden bed. May I suggest owner, that u just change the cache coordinates??

DNF

Garden beds appear to have been finished, but couldn't find it even with hint

Couldnt see it

Could not find it

DNF

Had a Drone flying course nearby today, so once completed I hunted down a few nearby caches.Hunted in the nearest garden bed to the east about 60m away but no luck.

Last one tossed by gardeners. New cache replaced. Garden clearance means this cache has been relocated 39m away to another garden bed. Go East and beware of wildlife. Will be placed back at original location once replanted otherwise coordinates will be updated. Good luck!

DNF. The area has been cleared of vegetation. Think we were at the right spot but no cache found at the coordinates

Urgent maintenance is required. Vegetation cleared and so is the cache.

DNF. Looks like vegetation has been cleared recently?

Fencing and vegetation clearing may have messed with this cache?

Kids took some items and swapped others in

TFTC!

TFTC!

Out and about with ICNothing and Cirrus_WA for another Tuesday night caching run. Quick stop after a nearby find of another cache.

Monkeywand, I C Nothing, Cirrus_wa , Kapelula and Sir Fancy out for another Tuesday night adventure. We found your cache easily and in good condition. Signed MICKS. Tftc

Well hidden. Took nothing. TFTF

Couldn't find it. Found a couple of suspect options but nothing beneath. Potentially muggled?

After several attempts, finally found this one on a muggle free day. A good size container and good stash, too! Picked up a TB. TFTC, jotslo!

It was hard

Thought it was a bush but I didn’t see it

Find 23 of 31 on a full day of caching, first on a 24km bike ride centred on Waterford, then on a decent walk up and around the back of Statham's Quarry and the zig zag. We topped it off with a tree climbing FTF in Banksia Grove as the light was dropping fast.

Happy to quickly avenge the recent DNFs and can confirm the cache is in good shape.

TFTC jotslo!

I think I found it no writing implants all sicky

Too many muggles

Nope

Hi

Merry Christmas in July! Cache maintenance done! New log book installed as the rain made its way in. Please place the leaky side down to prevent this. Enjoy cache hunting!

The cache was full of water and cockroaches so couldn’t write a note inside

Fun

No hint and terrible place of the location

TFTC, took a puzzle with us to relocate to another cache.

Nope! Couldn’t have a proper look since the amount of mutgles

That was meant to be A DNF

Found by Mrs. Felix & Mr. ILT while our partners were riding back and forth on the ferry.
Thanks jotslo.

The GeoBikes were still on the back of the car so this morning we decided to head to Burswood to visit Optus Stadium as there was no event on there today! Whilst making our plans and organising our picnic lunch geobuddies iluvtrekking messaged to see what we were up to.

The plan then hatched to meet up and cycle around the stadium. That task completed, lunch eaten then time to watch some crazy people climb and zip from the bridge!

Onwards to Elizabeth Quay where Mrs ILT and Mr F set about catching the ferry to south perth (3 times) good thing they were using their old farts cards Apparently the 3rd crossing was nice and relaxing!

Whilst they were boating Mr ILT and Mrs F set off in the GeoCruisers to tackle some unfound caches SOR before we rejoined our partners and said adieu.

We then headed to East Perth for another AdLab and 2 caches, mind you 1 cache took well over 30minutes and we thought it was going to be dark before we were on our way home. [B)]

A fun filled long day and managed to get 'home' just before sunset. Happy Easter!

TFTC jotslo

Nice quick find here, lots of goodies too TFTC

Hu

Over in the area for an event at the Como Hotel.Very happy to claim a smiley a here. The coords were out for me, but once I extended my search an easy find

This is my 10711find.
Thankyou jotslo for placing and maintaining this cache

Great cache! Filled with goodies. TFTC

Last cache before work starts for the year, parked nearby and with limited options for hiding turned up the cache quickly.
Found two log books in the container so signed both.

Thanks jotslo for placing A's Christmas in July for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 09:12 on 25/1/2023.
This is find number 6549 for me.

All good here..quick park and once the phone settled an easy find..cache and log in excellent condition tftc

New container, log book and treasures replaced. Enjoy

With a fresh set of morning eyes I found the old one first and then the new one.
Don't know how I missed the placement of the old one, I know I looked in that spot.
Both are in the spot that the new one was put in.

Maintenance done. Had some difficulty finding our original so replaced with a new container and treasures within including 3 ‘mermaid gem’ necklaces! Please place back in the sheltered spot to avoid muggles and gardening disposal. Enjoy

(If anyone finds the original please place together with the new one and notify us, Thankyou!)

Still here

Looked everywhere in that bed without ripping anything up, but nothing, having been mugged before, it might have been again.
I did actually find this once originally but didn't write my log or claim it so not legit for me yet.
Please check if still in play

See above

Thought it was muggles and couldn't find it. But alas it was hiding all along. Swapped out and claimed the FTF that was left. Thanks Deep and TFTC

DNF

Couldn’t find it

Thought this might be long shot looking at the dnfs but happy to say it’s still there and an easy find. Grabbed this one after touring the coast of salter point grabbing some smiles. TFTC

Passing by here on way to shopping. Checked all the likely hiding spots. Not the half brick, not a camo drink can. Friendly muggle jumped out of his car with paper in hand, seeing me with pen in my hand: "thought you might be looking for something to write on" LOL

This cache is super close to my house and this is the third time I have tried to find it but didn’t want to log a DNF until I was sure that I wasn’t just being daft (although that is still very possible )

Found this whilst taking the dog for a walk. Left the FTF prize for the next person. Thanks for the cache.

Cache container replaced and another FTF prize inside!

TFTC. Lots of toys. Really nice for our grograndkids

Found it! My daughter was very excited to get a cache while her bro plays basketball

Nice quick log on way home from volley ball. TFTC ️

A quick stop in here to make my daily find on the way home today... Not quite what I was expecting. Thanks jotslo

The Better Half and I were nearby visiting so we stopped to find this cache before heading home. Found the cache without problems. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks jotslo for placing this cache for us to find.

Chwiliwr and I were nearby visiting so we stopped to find this cache before heading home. Found the cache without problems. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks jotslo for placing this cache for us to find.

Out and about this arvo grabbing a few smilies here and there. Very quiet here today allowing me to conduct a proper search, found the cache without too much trouble.

jotslo I found your cache at 1:37pm, this was the 9th of 11 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6629. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Had a quick search but as the Saturday morning markets were opening up I didn't hang around for long.

Hi there jotslo, I searched high, low, far and wide
But couldn’t find this hide!

The cache itself, wouldn’t show
I’ll have to come back to have another go.

I missed it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Maybe it’s somewhere very near.

It wasn’t where I thought it would be, so I guess thats a DNF for me!

With the weather being considerably better than yesterday, the decision was made to head out in search of a few caches. An enjoyable afternoon was had as we made our way through the western suburbs and unless otherwise stated, all caches were found in good condition.

TFTC

Great container for Xmas and lovely story. Logged and replaced as found.

Out with meme28 whilst car being serviced. TFTC

Left a crown pen/stylus as a gift.

Merry Christmas

Cache was quickly found as it was sitting out in the open. Rehid a bit better so hopefully it won’t be noticed TFTC

Cache in good order. I didn't see it initially, but had to change my perspective on the situation. Cache found, signed and replaced as initially located. Tftc

Yes, Had to change perspective and it worked. Merry Christmas in July or December!

Found this several weeks ago but forgot to log. Apologies tftc

Very obvious hide and I am surprised it hasn't been muggled. TFTC

With one of the jnr's playing cricket across the road, I took advantage of a break in play to duck across here. TFTC jotslo.

Made the find before midnight after a short search with my phone light. Busy around here tonight with a function at the club rooms across the field. I think I logged the cache as the 18th in the logbook, when it should’ve been the 17th. Cheers jotslo!

We come here on the we and fell across the farmer’s market. Muggles everywhere. Nice location on a beautiful sunny spring day. Signed log snd swapped some SWAG. TFTC

Quick find here today. Tftc
