Clever disguise! Loved this one!

This is such a cool hiding spot. Took me a bit to find it but once I did, it really made my day. TFTC

Cache check. All good

I never really come up to mount Evelyn, so seemed like a great time to grab this one while I was here. Quickly spotted something that looked like it might not belong, and I was right. Quickly figured out the purpose of the tool. Really like this one

I love a cache thats hidden in plain sight .. another well constructed cache by iTEEM .. another well deserved favourite point given

I was in the vicinity after completing ahomborg’s multi and had a little bit of time after flicking off some leeches I’d gathered in the reserve to grab a quick cache before heading off for kinder pickup.

I’ll certainly need to return to show my son. Loved the theme and cache! Another favourite coming your way iTEEEM.

brilliant tftc once again love your hides

Nice hide brought a few blackberry prickles and a boot full of mud home TFTC

We performed a maintenance check whilst walking our energetic dog.

Pleased to see all is in good condition.

Identified the cache very quickly, then took a bit longer to work out how to get into it! Should have checked the cache notes more carefully! Signed the log with Eudes at 10:45am before continuing on our bushwalk towards Lillydale Lake. A fave point from us as well.
thanks iTEEM

This one had us going for a few minutes, not so much the find as getting to the logbook, but after going back to basics (you know, reading the cache notes ), it wasn't long after that we were finally signing the log at 10:45.

Very clever so a fave point is winging its way to you.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks iTEEM.

This is such a clever cache. I looked in the obvious place and could not find the log. Hmmm. I had a more thorough search and came up with something that pointed me in the right direction, so to speak. I knew exactly what to do, and I did it.

Super creative cache
I love finding items caches they always impress
Tftc

What a wonderful cache to find while out with echidna44!! A big fav from us, really enjoyed it TFTC

Out with pinnacle333 we walked the steep way to this fabulous cache.
Another ingenious design and a favourite point, thanks iTEEM.

Found with Tara_jaye

Thanks! Nice easy find! Found with jojozepp!!

We have been eager to look for this since we noticed it come out. As usual, we were not disappointed. Thanks for another great cache.

We had been trying to hold off on this one as the grandies love caches created by 'that man' but we decided that this was the cache for the day and we will re-visit it with them. Another great iTEEM cache worthy of a favourite. Thank you.

Trying desperately to catch up on lons from the last couple of months.

SedgwickDave and I doing a bit of a training hike today in this area.

Massive thanks go to iTEEM for placing this one.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2023?*

Good one

Found it, thanks!

I started working on qualifying for "The Helen D'Amico Challenge (a 365 day streak challenge)" (GC873NG) at the end of last year. So of course by working on that challenge I have slowly progressed filling in my "Finds by Found Date" calendar.

I have always had more find dates in my "Finds by Hidden Date" calendar than my "Finds by Found Date." However, after working on this challenge that was no longer the case. In order to balance the two I decided to try and focus on finding some caches that would close off some of the gaps I have in my "Finds by Hidden Date" calendar. So today I decided to come out to try and find this one, as I needed to find a cache hidden on the 28th of June!

I have been getting off work after the sun has set lately, so I have been having to do my daily cache in the dark, and tonight was no exception. I arrived at the designated parking waypoint, and had to pull out the head torch in order to navigate to GZ.

Luckily for me it was a beautiful night, the nice cool breeze made for an enjoyable walk to GZ. Once I got to GZ, I noticed something that didn't look quite right. Now I just had to figure out where oh where was the log. After a bit of poking and prodding, finally the logbook was revealed. Great camo on this one iTEEM. I think the creativity on this one was excellent. Thanks for the fun tonight and TFTC.


Cache Maintenance Status:

The cache container camo was amazing, very creative, and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Thanks for the cache iTEEM, visiting the blood bank nearby, forgot my book so I got out my phone and scanned for possible caches on the way home. Found one nice and close. I suppose I didn't have enough blood in my system to get up the hill without huffing and puffing but I got up to the aqueduct, so thirsty but nothing to drink, but I did find a treasure. Regards from Victor.

Loved this cache! Great container - geokids loved this one.

Found with geoFam. Great, fun cache, all in good condition. TFTC

Just found this. When we decided to use the tool, there were a couple spiders on it but they should be gone now as we got them off.

A quick find here this morning.. Thanks For The Cache

Enjoying the peaceful walk along the aqueduct trail. On the lookout for our second iTEEM hide today. Spotted a possible clever hide on approach and glad to say we were correct. We love the association with the area and the cleverness of this hide. Thanks for adding to our caching experience.

We found this cache today on our late afternoon Montrose to Mount Evelyn Meander. We parked at the bottom of the hill and took the short but steep walk up to this well designed cache. It is now very dusk so it is a nice way to finish the day. Thanks from D & H B-A

Another nifty hide after zigging and zagging that had us using our muscles.

Found this cache a couple of weeks ago but couldn’t get access (weak fingers). So on today’s 15km Sunday morning coffee walk with Trailstevo I carried an appropriate aid. Love the hide, thanks for your efforts iTEEM

Sunday morning = walk. Gunks and I set off earlier than usual to grab some caches on top of one of our regular walks.
Second visit to this one, this time with a certain assisting tool to help with retrieval.
TFTC

Love the history! Such a goodie!

Found by Rebel Acts

It had been some months since I had seen My Mum, she lives in Metro and I live in regional. finally the regional/metro border had been scrapped and I could head to metro to see her, while in the area I caught up with My good caching Mate Omegaman1971 to grab a few caches. It seemed ironic all the metro people headed to regional and I headed to Metro.

This is one of the caches We found today. I almost called 000 Ambulance as the walk up the hill nearly killed me, feeling rather unfit after being confined for so long. This was another nice hide.

Thanks iTEEM for the cache.

Welcome to freedom Friday.
In the area putting some smiles on the map, nice work to Gz and awesome container.
Favorite point rewarded.

Nice find!

Nice walk with a beautiful view

After doing your great Quinns Reserve cache, we headed here to do another of your caches in our 5km radius. After the geokidd started niggling each other I sent off the boy with the phone GPS to see if he could locate the cache. He got close but my gal and I saw it before him. Funny enough we found a similar cache on the other side of our 5km radius just past week. Thanks for the cache.

Found @07:21 #7840
Never been up on the side of this hill. What a great spot with some nice views. Another impressive deployment by the CO here great work. A steep approach from the west up to the track. This deserves a favorite. [^]

Day 395 of ...
TFTC iTEEM

With the lockdown lifted and a reasonable day for a walk , I thought it's time to grab a cache or 2 . A nice stroll from where I parked the car and low and behold, something caught my eye. A nice piece of work which deserves a favorite. Thanks iTEEM.

What can I say? Another imaginative hide from the iTEEM. I often recommend to others that reading the cache page is important. It's just a pity that I forget to do it myself.
Approaching GZ, with Juzzmagic, we soon recognized the container, but we couldn't get it open. As I was doing my best, Ron quietly found a suitable TOTT, and we soon had the log signed. Certainly worthy of a favourite point. Thanks for another entertaining experience.

I originally found this cache with my Mum heymissjo, but now that I have my own account, I am logging. Thanks for the cache.

For the past few years I have cached as part of "team heymissjo", but now I am old enough to have my own account so logging the find. Thanks for the cache.

Joint FTF @ 8.20pm
With heymissjo

I've noticed that iTEEM has rapidly built a reputation for consistently creating high quality caches in recent months. I should know, I was wowed as a FTFer at their very first hide at MECS. And with each and every subsequent cache release, a glut of favourite points surely follows. It's an undeniable sign of someone whose work is next level.

So, when a new iTEEM listing was released around 5pm today, the first thing heymissjo and I wanted to do was come and check it out.
But life isn't always so straightforward...
The Mini-Welders needed us to take them to a commitment far to the south this evening, so there just wasn't enough time to see iTEEM's latest work of art. There was barely enough of a window for heymissjo to rush out with Geo-Ninja and claim a FTF on our doorstep, while I stayed home and got the Minis ready. As soon as she and Geo-Ninja returned triumphant, we set off for our southerly destination.

It was now two hours after publication and we had just concluded our required responsibilities. The unexpectedly good news was that the iTEEM cache was still unfound; the bad news was that we were now an hour away...
Heymissjo and I looked at each other. Of course, we were going to go the long way home - via Mt Evelyn!!
We couldn't believe that no-one else was tempted by a new iTEEM cache...

It was a cold, damp, dark night when we pulled up at the suggested parking zone. Everything was quiet.
My goodness, we just might actually pull this off!
We readied ourselves and were about to begin the trek when Geo-Ninja informed us he was wearing fluffy slippers - not exactly standard geo-kit!
And how on earth did that even happen?! He'd been out in proper footwear just before to nab the earlier FTF with heymissjo!
Seriously! Kids, lol!!
There was no option but to piggy back him...

The four of us plunged into the dark, trying our best to avoid the numerous mud traps and water hazards along the track. The many lights of nearby suburbs twinkled far off to our right. I'm sure the daytime views here are lovely, but tonight I had to focus on the ground immediately before to ensure each step was placed on something relatively solid.

Heymissjo and Geo-bug cut a line up to GZ, and that's when the real fun started - which I'll leave for others to enjoy.
Needless to say, we totally loved what was waiting for us. A wonderful concept, executed with master craftsmanship, a twist of flair, all while maintaining thematic overtones.

So good.
So much fun.
We all loved this visit.

Oh yeah, and the logbook was blank too!
So we scribed our names in and found a friendlier way back to the car.
Isn't that always the way?!
And as heymissjo posted her FTF log from the warmth of the car, another band of brave adventurers (DJZEG) headed into the gloom.
We always love running into others on a FTF hunt, but in tonight's damp and dark conditions it was more a case of ships in the night...

Thanks so much, iTEEM.
Another top shelf production, naturally worthy of a favourite point.

I saw this pop up a few hours ago, but another one closer to home got published and I decided to chase that instead as I was time poor. But after taking the mini welders back home and a two hour round trip… this STILL wasn’t collected…

Now seriously, how could we not collect it! The Welder and I looked at each other and said let’s give it a go, although we were not sure that we were going to make it!

On arriving at gz, all was dark and quiet. Damn, master nine aka geoninja is in his slippers, so without a second thought, The Welder puts him on his back and says, come on, it’s piggy back time. Miss eleven aka geobug grabs the bag and off we go with our torches. Thankfully the clever little cache was spotted and the beautiful, fresh new log smiled at us. Nice to have a joint (FTF) again with The Welder, the last few we have each collected was solo. A favourite from me for the effort and time you went to create this cache. Love your work.

Saw a new cache, jumped in the car for a night cache. Sadly to slow 2nd to find, Lilydale lights look nice though
