After knocking off some chores in the morning I joined OzHockeyChick out in the east for some afternoon geocaching. We targeted some new caches as well as some 2023 caches.What a cleverly constructed hide. Upon opening I thought the log was missing, but sure enough it was sitting there tucked away in the corner. Yet again another well constructed cache hidden in plain sight. Happily departing with another favourite for this one.A big thanks goes to iTEEM for taking the time to add Across The Drain to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Nominations for the **2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards** are now open and will close on **17 April 2024**.

Easy one

Found it very clever so unsuspecting
 
02-Mar-24
So nicely constructed - I heard there are some good caches in the area and this one is bearing out the rumour. I'm in marvellous Melbs again on a multi mission and keen for a bit of nature out on the fringes. This one is definitely a surprise bonus given it was a spontaneous decision to end up in the area. TFTC and the FUn..

Thanks for this easy find! Our first one! Easy access. Good one.
 
24-Feb-24
We almost missed it but we found it!
 
19-Feb-24
Spent quite a while looking for this one. The GPS had me hoping all over the place. Re reading the logs I figured it must have been muggled again and was so close to giving up when I spotted the evil little hide.TFTC
 
18-Feb-24
Good one! TFTC
 
17-Feb-24
Cache check. All is well
 
25-Jan-24
Thanks iTEEM. I was too busy looking.at the GPS for this to be a quicker find, I took my eye off the prize. When I took in the surrounds I appreciated it more and the cache was soon in hand. Giddy up
 
18-Jan-24
Cache redesigned and rebuilt. The outer is now attached to the base. No force is required to access the log.
 
18-Jan-24
Cache is in place and ready to be found.
 
06-Jan-24
In spite of the fact this cache appears to be a target of a serial thief, I am reluctant to archive a cache with 35 favorites, so a redesign to make it much more muggle resistant is underway. Watch this space
 
20-Dec-23
Cache stolen again. Disabling while I decide whether to archive or redesign.
 
03-Dec-23
New cache constructed and placed. Due to the propensity for this cache to be muggled again, a redesign of the cache mounting is in progress.

This cache has been stolen again . Disabling until I decide whether to remake it.

Which one was another very interesting one specially trying to do it in the dark, but manage to find it reasonably quick another great cash cacha and yes another favourite
 
12-Jun-23
Geokid 8 spotted this one immediately and was able to retrieve it. We didn’t write in the log as I can never roll the micros up properly
 
06-Jun-23
Liked this one, Always thought it was something to do with the council
 
17-May-23
Another iTEEM masterpiece of construction. This cache took me a couple of minutes to locate, because, once again, I was looking in the wrong direction. I looked in the opposite direction and spotted the cache immediately. Such a clever idea.
 
09-May-23
Very clever hide. Tftc
 
07-May-23
Found it! Continuing on with our afternoon of caching we park near GZ and walked along the path. The navigation tool was pointing towards a tree one side of the path so I headed in. Then I happened to notice something very familiar and found the cache. Another clever and creative cache that blends in to it’s environment! TFTC SL Another favourite from me! ️

I headed out for a couple of hours today mainly to find a mystery cache to fill a calendar day but had to stop at others along the way and this was one of them.
I rode right past this then came back and instantly realised what it was. Another favourite from me.
Thanks iTEEM for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I love love love this one. My favourite type of cache is one that’s hidden in plain sight.
Just as I was about to search all the usual geocaching hiding spots, I noticed something worth a closer look. Awesome effort! Another favourite point heading your way!

Thanks for bringing me here by placing this cache, iTEEM

Out and about with geo grandchildren on a school free day. We parked a little way back and decided to walk these few. While a couple of us were of in the wrong direction the smallest of group spotted the obvious hide and us did not notice. Great one. It gets a tick from us. Thanks iTEEM for your great work
 
09-Sep-22
Not logging yet as I did not have a pen on me to sign the log. Geocaching was not in my plan this morning but while dropping some of the kids off early to school and having to wait for the remaining kids took the dog for a walk and remembered a cache was close by. Happened to remember when I crossed at Inverness and had just past GZ. Will return at a later date to sign the log and log it as a find officially

Out for a drive in the Mt Evelyn area with pinnacle333, we managed to find quite a few caches as we went.
A well disguised cache, masterfully created and placed. A favourite point, thanks iTEEM
 
24-Jul-22
Out for a drive in the Mt Evelyn area with echidna44. Oh how obvious it becomes once you've seen it! A fav point for how the cache is hidden. Thanks iTEEM!
 
15-Jul-22
Thanks for the cache iTEAM,
I actually found this one yesterday but my pen had come out of my pocket and I wasn't about to make the trek back to the car and back. It seems a common theme with me, perhaps I need a pen on a chain.
So I did a drive by this morning.
Regards from Victourer

I had a bit of time after work and before an appointment, so I decided to cache. I came from the wrong direction to see it, and wandered into the bushes, searching around the base of things. It wasn't until I turned around that I spotted it! Great hide in plain view.
 
21-Jun-22
Very cool!
