The hide for this could have been horrendous, but thankfully it was found in the first spot I felt for it TFTC

Found with the guidance of SallyRM and the geobaby for muggle distraction. TFTC on this chill Easter weekend

Found with the help of Spicetree and the GeoBaby as comouflage.Thanks for hiding this cache

Time for another crazy days caching with the cat, a warmish day enough to keep most parks and playgrounds muggle free and easier for searching, a familiar spot we have been to before, today was a quick findTFTC Freddo Wink

Bike ride caching. Never knew this was here either! Very quiet and contemplative place.
 
10-Apr-23
We have solved this a while ago but must admit, we do not really come much this way nowadays. Today however was a brilliant day for a drive and a walk, and we just happened to pass GZ on our return to the city, and stopped to grab the cache. Unlike other similar spots we visited today where retrieval attempts were not possible due to high muggle presence, this spot was nicely quiet and son we had the prize in our hands Smile TNLNSL TFTC

I knew exactly where this cache was before doing the puzzle but still did it to double check. Still new to these types of puzzles but after getting a helpful hint from the CO the puzzle was solved and my hunch was correct.

Headed to the cache but was stopped by muggles, came back a little later and the cache was found and signed.

Solved after a helpful hit from the CO will find cache shortly.

Did you hear the story about JFK?...

...It's going to blow your mind.

I had no idea this spot (or cache) existed.

I love US history and culture so I'm sad I didn't know about this one for so long.

I even studied the JFK assassination by choice in Year 11 History!

The puzzle was one I had seen before and was no issue to solve.

A lot of time has passed since finds so there was a lot of shrub but I eventually found it.

However, this was a big patience tester as it was wedged in there.

Eventually after digging away with TOTT I eventually managed to get it out.

Cache retrieved and signed.

Thanks Freddo for this cache.

This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1796 on the 6th of October 2022.

I was just a kid when JFK was assassinated. He pissed off a lot of people like Mafia and possibly CIA (conspiracy theory?). He died far too young, probably because he was doing the right thing. Thanks Freddo

Last of three caches found today.
This puzzle was easy to solve. According to the record, it was solved on 23 September, which is nearly two months ago.
This afternoon I was in the area for business, and tried two caches on my way home.
The final location look familiar. I definitely been there before, for geocaching, of course. I still recall that I tried several times before I finally found the tiny cache.
But today was an easy find. Thanks for the hint. Found it on my first attempt. Without hint, it will be messy.
The cache container was covered by spider webs. Cleaned it. Signed the log sheet, and placed it back. No one was around.
Thanks for the cache, Secretary of State Freddo.
Also, for the topic, it's a great success for human beings to travel to moon. So far, only American has the ability to do so. Top of the mankind. Hope after a decade, we can see some other national flags on the moon. I might use this topic to create a puzzle cache.

A nice little park. And worthy of a cache.
Thanks to the hint this was a quick find. All nice and dry here.

Thank you.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

Another Wednesday wander for the Befuddled Puzzle Solvers. once again it was Me, Blackadders and SA. Sewer Rats cruising around the burbs in search of solved puzzles and another others that popped up on our GPSr along the way.[^] There were the usual laughs but I am happy to report no blood, falls or ripped clothing was the cause today. Big Grin

The puzzle was solved soon after it was published but has been languishing on the solved - waiting to find pile hoping I would be out this way. [^] Today we were out this side of town for a change and so made our way to this very familiar park. Deja Vu. Been here for a previous cache......it wouldn't be in the same place would it. [?] Yes it was. Smile Talk about finding it in the first place checked. Cool


***Thanks Freddo for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

It was time for a Wednesday Wander for a trio of Geoanimals.
A Rat, an Adder and a Starfish.
There were plenty of laughs throughout the day.
I tried couple of paths to no avail.
Then the slap the head moment.
I soon had set of viable coords.
Got the green tick.
a quick find for the trio today. Tftc

A nice and simple puzzle solved without any issues, stopped at HZ today and didn’t expect to see JFK.

This morning sucked out for a few caches around the eastern suburbs before the crowds had woken up. Total of 22 finds for the morning

Thanks for the cache

Still, Rex and I found the 1st FTF in a spot close to where we have found other caches beforeBig GrinWink
We enjoyed the great view from the site of the 2nd FTFCool[^]Big GrinCool[^]
Then it was off to Burnside for the events[^], where it was awesome to catch up with several interstate geocachersSmileBig GrinCool[^]Cool
On our way home, Rex and I took a deviating route and found 5 more Smilecaches and that brought the day's total to 9SmileCool[^]
We also had a great walk[^][:X], and Rex had huge funBig Grin[:X]Cool playing with Fritz the Cardigan Corgi and Peanut the Poodle in Slapes Gully where we met a newish geocacher and her friend (Peanut's humans) as we searched for a cache there for waaaaay to long!Red FaceSurprisedRed FaceSadRed FaceRazzWink

The other POTUS cache was recently archived, so I thought I’d better make the find in case it suffers the same fate.

The hint made for a quick find. Cache is in great condition.

Thanks for the cache Secretary of State Freddo.

Today I needed to find a multi cache so after work I decided to drive to Tea Tree Plaza and the Northern Suburbs to find some BFE and Freddo caches.
Ended up with 8 finds for the evening and a nice walk along the O Bahn path. A couple of deja vu caches were found.
Last find on the way home. Found exactly where the hint said. TFTC Freddo
 
28-Jan-21
Found on my way back home after a caching tour of the northern suburbs. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Freddo!
 
19-Jan-21
I solved this cache pretty much soon as it came out, though seeing as it was on my route to Uni, I decided to leave it until a day I was heading there and I needed a find. So with today meeting both these criteria I decided to stop past this cache on a way home. After parking in an appropriate spot I was soon at gz, and after reading the hint, i soon had the cache in hand. I signed the log, replace the cache, and I was on my way.

I am currently on my L-plates and wanted to get some hours up. Today was a perfect day for a big 6h drive mainly on the North Eastern side of the city. Lots of opportunities for parking practise, reversing, u-turns and finding a few of those mystery caches that my dad had solved throughout the year but never collected. Total tally was 18 caches visited and 18 caches found. Most caches were stamped with my dad’s stamp but when there was a pencil available he also added my name.
Thank you to all Cache owners

Our geodaughter Skyebird3 is on her L-plates and wanted to get some hours up. Today was a perfect day for a big 6h drive mainly on the North Eastern side of the city.

Today’s total tally was 18 caches visited and 18 caches found.

Cache #4 and 30 years back in time compared to the previous cache. A quick find and further north we drove.

While Christmas lunch was digesting i solved the two recently published POTUS puzzles so decided to head out and grab these before the start of play on Day 2 of the cricket. While out in the general direction I also grabbed a few multis, trads and other mysteries. A haul of Church caches (coincided with mass time), used to be church caches, caches next to churches and a few others scattered around various streets, bus stops and parks. Muggles everywhere for a Sunday morning but most sought were found. I suspect there are very few monuments to Grover Cleveland in Adelaide. TFTC

Thanks Secretary of State Freddo for this cache. When this was published, I spent some time of GUG and the history of presidents, not getting far but learning a lot. I thought I would give some air time to a reverse engineering technique which was productive but not fruitful. I cannot tell you why here, for it will spoil the fun.

Tuesdays coffee event was illuminating and a single word gave me the light bulb moment, successively confirmed by further comments that were suggestive but not descriptive.

I had done all my chores today, everything is ready for tomorrow, and too early since my last ride to go again, so a spot of caching was in order this evening, after the throng of shoppers had left the streets. This was the first on my list and a quick find was made. A lot of names in that sheet already, good work everyone, clearly I am in the minority in knowing how to solve this kind of puzzle.

Today, jesswrigley and I started the day with mountain biking at O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park. The area has some nice friendly trails, and there were still a few remaining geocaches that I had yet to find. We had a bakery lunch and headed over to Hallet Cove for a quick stop, before heading home. In the afternoon, I ventured out solo to complete the *Planespotting* Adventure Lab and a few others around West Beach, and finally in the evening, we enjoyed some ice-cream at the gelato event.

This was a good little puzzle that I quickly deduced the solving technique. We found it funny that this POTUS puzzle followed our puzzle in its timing, with jesswrigley wondering if Freddo had always planned a POTUS puzzle.

At GZ, it was a nice little reserve, and kind of cool to see this tribute. We did need the hint to find the cache, after searching a few other places first. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Secretary of State Freddo for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Owl remembers running home from school to watch the moon landing. It seemed like a big thing, though she traded her newspaper clippings for a dragon mural at the time. No trades were needed for the puzzle, as it was one small step for an Owl but a giant leap for geocaching. Today she joined forces with a CPwanderer for lab caching and started the day with a stroll to a grassy knoll. A gardener was encountered and exposed to the secret conspiracy of geocaching. A cache was found eventually, once the clues were consulted. Thanks for the history and the cache.
 
23-Dec-20
Out for a days caching with Dr Owl so we dropped in here. Found the cache and explained geocaching to a council worker ..... who just happens to work with SneakySqueaky!! Thanks for the adventure!!
 
23-Dec-20
Found It!
Having previously found over 150 Freddo puzzles, I knew what I needed to do here. Then went to GZ tonight, a park that I've found a cache in before many years ago. I think it was about 1m to the south of where this one is now.

Down south pre christmas - should I go shopping???

Nah, caching afternoon and well into the night seemed like a much safer idea!!!

Found yours. tftc Freddo

The caching problem was man-made, therefore solved and signed Razz JFK would approve.

Stay safe this Xmas. Don't get shot. Peace on earth... Cool

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Another POTUS cache. Looked at it for a bit then remembered someting and a solution appeared and the checeker agreed.
This morning on the way to work it was time for the POTUS caches. This was first, and a quick find at GZ with the log stamped and returned with the engine running in the car parked near GZ.
Gratias pro cache Secretary of State Freddo

You know sometimes the easy puzzles are harder than the hard ones, and the hard ones and easier than some easy ones.

After several attempts (and donning the glasses) a good set of co-ordinates appeared. Then off to GZ on the way home.

I last visited this GZ almost 10 years ago to find a cache, and here again today to find a new cache.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Secretary of State Freddo.
 
22-Dec-20
Solved this one when it was first published and today I had just been to a brekky event close by so thought I would come and find the cache as I needed a puzzle find for today. [^]
Arrived at GZ and Mr Tardis already had the cache so it was a quick stamp and I was on my way. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache Secretary of State Freddo. Smile
 
22-Dec-20
Another nice easy puzzle to solve. And a simple search at GZ to yield the prize. Much simpler than working out the trajectory of the Magic Bullet.

Thanks for the cache Freddo.

Given Owl's eventual log should reflect Kennedy's successes, it's a write log that will show how much she is enjoying the delicious irony of the current logs. The Kennedy-Nixon election was marred by miscounted votes, dead voters, multiple voters (the saying vote early, vote often came into vogue because of this election), and media favouritism, the vast majority of which was in Democrat favour. Nixon conceded at least one state he was subsequently found to have actually won. Some Electoral College votes were changed because certain Democrats did not want Blacks to be given the vote. Perhaps this explains Kennedy's reluctance to pursue the civil rights cause. Given Nixon's understandable belief (there were a number of convictions for voter fraud) he had been robbed of the win, we can speculate that this resulted in uncharacteristic behaviour in a subsequent election. Thanks for the history refresh!

I was just about ready to tackle a job at home that I had been procrastinating over for a while when I noticed that this puzzle had been published only 15 minutes or so earlier. A perfect distraction.

The puzzle was quickly solved and I set off to GZ where the container was soon found. Turned out I was second to find, and only 10 minutes behind Hurtle.

Unfortunately it was all over too soon, which meant it was back to the job!

Thanks Freddo for the puzzle and the cache.

The podium is full
Of course I was the first one here.
The fact there are two other names above ours on the logsheet just shows what some people will do to stack a logbook. I frequently see great convoys of semi-trailers full of doctored log books following me around.
Stalking our finds.
It’s a conspiracy.
Everybody knows it’s true.
Trust me.
