Saw that this cache was found earlier this week on 18/6 so I thought I'd pop by and redeem a DNF on this cache.Unfortunately the cache was only half there (as per the notes from the finder on 11/2)Unsure how the finder on 18/6 could have signed the log.....Notified the CO who advised he will replace the cache.Plenty of litter (and faeces) here - almost needs a CITO Surprised

Cache missing. Will replace soon.

That log was difficult to remove. A bit too big for the cache perhaps.

Anyway, nice hide.

Hard one to find!!! The navigation is about 6m off. Ended up looking at the hint.
Fantastic cache and great container!!
 
03-Aug-23
When we got near GZ, we quickly worked out the most likely area for a hide. We went there and searched around. When we changed positions, to our delight, the cache was located. Although the container had not been fully closed, the contents were in reasonable condition. Thanks for the cache.

Too good for me today
 
15-Jul-23
Yes, that’s a good hide, thanks Azzo for this cache
 
08-Jul-23
Took a bit to find, but not because of the cammo - there were just too many options. The Owl eventually spotted it and sent the Fish in for the retrieve.
 
08-Jul-23
A most excellent caching day out with an owl and a dragon.

Another case of Owl and me going our separate ways but finishing up looking in the same spot before Owl found the right angle and spotted the cache.

Thanks for the cache azzo.

My next stop on my walk around the area. I ducked off the path at the obvious opening and then spent an age trying to work out where to look. I think I had my hand either on or very close to the cache on a number of occasions. Slightly frustrated, I sat back and saw something that made me think I should take a look. Oh my - there is it. That was well hidden! TFTC azzo7777

I didn’t think I’d be back in Aldinga so soon, but I damaged a cache on Monday and have returned today to make amends. There is a nice selection of caches around here, and I still have plenty to find. This was one of eight caches found after that chore was completed.

This was the first. I think I got lucky here as the camo had come adrift, but it was covered again when I left. This looks like the kind of spot where kids would hang out, so camo is a must!

Thanks for the cache azzo7777.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

no luck today

The cache is gone and people are erroneously claiming finds and on empty plastic jar discarded nearby. Such a shame as I have been informed what the cache used to look like. Please replace as was as it sounded cool.

Well I found the empty container that the last 4 finders found. I was tempted to stamp it but I was with a previous finder who advised that it was not the cache. Twisted The cache was in fact a cleverly disguised tube and unfortunately it was not in the clever hiding spot it should have been. We searched the ground underneath without luck. It's GONE. So I removed the empty container as CITO to stop further finds on a cache which is not here. Twisted Urgent owner action required.

**Thanks azzo7777 for the search anyway. ** Razz

We found a likely container, but no lid and not log, so cant be sure.
Have messaged the CO with a picture of what we found.
No log so logging it as a DNF.

Quick find when looking from correct angle...
Found 20 bucks a few metres from GZ too, it had been on the ground quite awhile too, going by the dirt on it! If anyone has lost a $20, I'll return it if you can give me the serial number...

Always good to find a cache in a nook. Had me fooled for a tick. Red FaceRed Face

Thanks to azzo7777 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

The usual Wednesday wander of the Befuddled consisting of just the Adders and Astro. with the Starfish injuring his back and the Rat unable to join us meant that there was only the two of us available.

The target area for the day was Aldinga and surrounds. An area that had been planned previously but did not eventuate in success with many diversions seeking other hides.

As always, all caches were visited and signed by all members of the group or each member had a part to play in retrieving the prize.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

Very tricky cammo here needing pliers to retrieve from its hidey hole.

Quick stop here today on my way last, cache was easily found and is all good

Today I headed south to Myponga Beach to find a few target caches then slowly made my way back along the coast line cleaning up the area as I went. Total of 30 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Swamy past here this evening while completing the Route 31 Adventure Lab. A quick find at GZ of one of those horrible tiny caches. Glad it was dry as they’re a bugger to get the log book out when it’s wet.

Thanks for the cache azzo7777.

Clever bit of camo. The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

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.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

First to find on the 23rd of April less than an hour after publishing, whoo hoo.
Xtreme or not we would hate to judge, but we are sure there will be some who take up the offer to judge haha!!
Aldinga is definitely Azzo land, the CO must own a huge percentage of the caches in this area, and we enjoy finding them too. Nice hint did definitely assist in the find though.
There is now a category in sport called Xtreme now.....

The definition of extreme sports is not exact and the origin of the terms is unclear, but it gained popularity in the 1990s when it was picked up by marketing companies to promote the X Games and when the Extreme Sports Channel and Extreme International launched. More recently, the commonly used definition from research is "a competitive (comparison or self-evaluative) activity within which the participant is subjected to natural or unusual physical and mental challenges such as speed, height, depth or natural forces and where fast and accurate cognitive perceptual processing may be required for a successful outcome" by Dr. Rhonda Cohen (2012)

While the use of the term "extreme sport" has spread everywhere to describe a multitude of different activities, exactly which sports are considered 'extreme' is debatable. There are, however, several characteristics common to most extreme sports. While they are not the exclusive domain of youth, extreme sports tend to have a younger-than-average target demographic. Extreme sports are also rarely sanctioned by schools for their physical education curriculum. Extreme sports tend to be more solitary than many of the popular traditional sports (rafting and paintballing are notable exceptions, as they are done in teams).

Activities categorized by media as extreme sports differ from traditional sports due to the higher number of inherently uncontrollable variables. These environmental variables are frequently weather and terrain related, including wind, snow, water and mountains. Because these natural phenomena cannot be controlled, they inevitably affect the outcome of the given activity or event.

In a traditional sporting event, athletes compete against each other under controlled circumstances. While it is possible to create a controlled sporting event such as X Games, there are environmental variables that cannot be held constant for all athletes. Examples include changing snow conditions for snowboarders, rock and ice quality for climbers, and wave height and shape for surfers.

Whilst traditional sporting judgment criteria may be adopted when assessing performance (distance, time, score, etc.), extreme sports performers are often evaluated on more subjective and aesthetic criteria. This results in a tendency to reject unified judging methods, with different sports employing their own ideals[10] and indeed having the ability to evolve their assessment standards with new trends or developments in the sports.

We dont do extreme anything, even caching is the sedate ones. Thanks Azzo for the cache, found, signed and replaced as found. TNLN
