Time to archive this cache!

Cheers,

Rav 4 Raiders

A quick check last week (with a mandatory kid in tow) revealed the cache had GONE!!!! Hope to replace soon.

Cheers R4R

[We came here at 10.00pm over 3 months ago and looked for some time, tried to find it without sucess. Even tried removing the] fireplug indicators,[I think the people in the nearby houses looked at three guys with some suspicion. Came back with the children today. This time we used the GPS on the street signs to ensure we had the right spot - so we did it right!.

No muggles around hunted for a few minutes, until it dawned on us that there is only one other possible place, The last one we checked was the correct one.

Suddenly 5 families of muggles descended on the area. How are we going to put it back. We sat and watched for 15min. Then retied shoe and replaced it. We contemplated taking it away and returning it at a later stage, however we don't live nearby.

Took toy car, left golf ball SL.]

Had always delayed giving this one a go because it seemed a bit tricky... but had a look at the street directory, drew some rough lines and decided to risk it - and found it in the second place we looked! Why did we wait so long? TNLNSL.

Hey big boy!
Found this one at 1:15! Piece of cake!! Better start thinking of some harder ones soon because we need the challenge [:p]

Cheers,
The No It Alls [:X] [:X]

Had a look at the street directory before I left home and had a fair guess at GZ. Got there and did all the street bit to find that my guess had been spot on. Took a mondo figure and left a spirit level. Cheers.

Found at 17:30
decided to try our luck on this one, even though we didn't have time for the full tour. I had worked out where I thought it should be months ago using the street directory. Looked for a while, a vaguely familiar man walking his dog stopped to talk briefly about the Ipaq. Still looking a while later, the man returned amd owned up to being Foxbat. He told me where not to look and left. Unfortunately, a couple of muggles turned up right at that time to kick the footy. Used the dog as a diversion, and found the cache in the last possible spot.
Didn't make a swap. A good idea for a cache, sort of a scale model of Sleep's Hill Trio.

Had a pretty good idea where this might be once I found a map with the streets on. (Map courtesy of the net). Found the four places, waypointed them with good intentions and marked up the map as we went. We didn't have time for any calculations as it was past bedtime so we just went to where the lines crossed on our map and Minizyth1 found it straight away. No GPS required!
TNLN.

Found @ 11:30am This took us a while to find because of the muggles, upton leaving all muggle left as we drove off.

Took Nothing and Left Kangaroo

Finally. I have spent way to long on this one. First timecouldnt find the streets. Second time found the streets but GPS fritzed and I lost waypoints. Third time lucky. Worked out location. But muggles wouldnt play the game and go home. Had to wait 30 minutes. Finally snagged it. Took nothing put in Knuckle bone.
Great cache.

Did the research for this one yesterday, but was too crowded in the afternoon sun to attempt a raid until this morning. Discovered that my old street map wasn't required ... the local sales office had a much better sized map with all the right street names on it!! Suspected I knew where the cache would be hidden, but retired home to accurately draw up the lines ... and bingo, there it was.
Returned this morning to find a lone muggle child looking rather bored - he drifted off home after a few minutes, leaving me to retrieve the cache in peace. No narrow swaps today, so TNLNSL. Thanks for the hunt - very inventive!!

Our 10th and final cache for the day. Had to drop in on a fellow cacher and look at their street directory after knowing where we were going we went and grabbed it at 7pm.

Brownie points for Mrs. K for getting the GZ location with out using the GPS or leaving the house. It was only a guess as I could only find 2 streets in the street directory but the spot looked promising and we gave it ago and Bingo it was there.

Another great cache. Thanks Ravs.

Finally got to log this one. One of those caches that you know where it will be hidden but just cant get to. Every time I went past to grab it, the place was crowded with geo-muggles. Finally got to it in the dead of night. Swapped a gorilla for a beetle thingy.

thanks guys.

Found with a little help from Liz and Bruce Took Chapagne Bubbles and left a mondo doll... Thanks guys

Made a start on this one yesterday. After all, how hard could it be? I then realised I couldn't find 2 streets in my directory or on my GPS maps... Much circling and random driving later, I had found 3 out of 4 locations and was getting quickly frustrated that the 4th wasn't near other similar signs.

After a hint from Smurf who must have heard about the cache from maccamob, I took the advice of "following the signs" and found the 4th location this morning. I had marked approximations on my street directory, lo and behold they did cross in a possible hiding spot! Had to wait for a gardener to leave the area before making an assault on what I hoped was GZ. Success at the first attempt - I love these containers!

Took a frog and left some champagne bubbles. Thanks Rav 4 Raiders for a brilliant concept!

Found by Mary & David at 1140. Just loved the whole concept and implementation of this cache. Even though we had a recent street directory, two of the streets were not shown. Found one quickly by following some signs, and found the other after a bit of driving around the most likely area. Then off to GZ, where we were lucky not to have anyone else there to hinder our search. Soon had the container, which was larger than we expected. Took little spanner, left car. Our thanks once more to Rav 4 Raiders - was your place that big house down by the water?

After bushbashing and failing to find "Party Time", earlier in the day, it was nice to come to a relaxing place which I wouldn't have found if not for this cache. Was kind of funny as we attempted to look under (and in) things without looking too suspicious to the kiddies hanging around.

Had a good play whilst waiting for them to leave.
Took the Hell money and left a bouncy ball.

On way home from Adelaide decided to find this one and see if travell bug was still there.

Got there just on dark and as usual the last place you look is where it is, well the 2nd to last place to look.

Tim Tam from CAS [see their earlier log] and I had come here late [early] one day so knew where to go.

Found and T2 - Blue Choo was still there so now I have it.
Now where will a put it?

Thanks R4R

Just visiting to drop off T2 - Blue Choo!

Did a rough calculation and thought we'd head in that direction. After a short search of the area we found what we had come looking for. Took ball and left large spanner.

Found using the UBD rather than the GPS. Does tis get a bonus point?

Actually we forgot the unit and had to make do with a bit of looking and poking.

Kids enjoyed the park. Fun place.

Captured the TB. Will take him further away.

The cache container needs a little work. One of the ends is broken.

Just visiting to place Trojan Horse for collection.

Very nice cache. Unfortunately my electronic mapping spat the dummy on this cache. No need to worry, the old fashioned way proved very effective, with my hand coming to rest on the cache in no time. Someone very thoughtful had left a nice red star stamp in the cache… just in time as my stamp was starting to wear out. Many thanks for this. Left a 3/8 spanner and a star. Thanks Ravs.
Clear skies, TeamAstro

Had a lot of fun exploring the rabbit-warren streets of this place. The clues worked out perfectly and I found the final location of the cache without problems. Got there just as Gunnell and Pandaabear were leaving, having beaten me to it .

My problem began as I was filling in the log. At around 1600, a bunch of muggles showed up, so I couldn't put the cache back. I Waited about 30 minutes, but they wouldn't leave As I had somewhere else I HAD to be, I was forced to take the cache with me and return it later. With 2 travel bugs in it, I figured it was better that it went missing for an hour rather than forever. I put it back in its original position around 1730. Sorry if anyone missed it in that time

I took a carabina keyring and left a "Monkey Mia" souvenir badge from WA. Thanks for an interesting hunt, Raiders

Had more trouble finding the streets than the cache itself. Found 2 of them in our very out of date street directoy, knew where one was, coz we looked at a house there, before deciding that we didn't want to live around here, coz PB has no sense of direction and would never find her way home, found the last street by asking a stranger where it was. Tan into Nibs taking readings at 4th street, looking suspicous taking co-ords with GPS in his hand! Took the gooey egg, left canon pen, Little George TB and Sneeky Man TB. Nicely done, thanx Rav 4's.

Here's Sneeky Man.

8:30am My first virgin cache! Saw this cache last night about 10:30pm and noticed it hadn't been found yet. Jumped into car with friend and found the signs. Went to the location of the final cache spot but didn't find it . . . how close we were but at 2:30am in the morning I was getting a little tired. Tried again this morning and revisited signs for double check. Found the cache Took US$5 note and left star stamp. Thanks Rav 4 Raiders for this nice multi-cache.
