Looks like we need to do some maintenance

The lock on the cache is broken and now even muggles are signing the logbook.

You should probably ask finders to e-mail you the code before allowing them to claim it.

I signed my visit in the logbook, but I won't claim it as a find until I figure out the measurements.

Ditto on the mystery. Kids always love a cache full of cool swaps.

A bit suprised I am to be writting this successful log. I don't get any of the instructions. But, since I did find GZ (and people say you never stumble across a cache when walking the geohounds in the bush with friends) I guess that counts.

Log signed, cache re-hidden, and me left shaking my head in wonder.

Ok I have to admit we visited GZ three times First to get all the details then off to get all the info and returned after sunset to claim the prize. But what did we get wrong ? Dark and trying to read numbers written on my hand had me leave empty handed. We returned to day with all the data and hey presto it was open. And so close to what we tried last night. Another great spot for Mrs Derf to extend her collection of photos.
Great idea for the cache hunt.

Found with Fitzy after completing all the measurements, which included a quick drive to one area, followed by a nice stroll around a familiar area.

Then back to unlock the mysteries of the cache. All up, a cool little cache, especially with the rain this afternoon.

Thanks The S's for a different sort of cache.

TNLN & TFTC.

995 - A fun little Mystery cache to do.

Went to the given coords two days ago and found the instructions on what to do next. Today the three measurements were taken and some numbers calculated.

Arrived at GZ and presto managed to open the cache and sign the log - really liked the concept behind this cache - well done !

Visited : Roman The Hard Rock Cafe Bear.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found @ 7:20pm.

Visited this morning to see what needed to be done. Headed off to do some other caches then collected the necessary information on the way home. Did the required calculations then headed back to the cache tonight after a running session at Parliament House.

My numbers were only ever so slightly off and I was soon filling in the log. An interesting concept, although I found one of the measurements a little ambiguous.

Took nothing, left pathtag and dropped off "I love Koln" TB, TFTC!!

Wow, this one took some time to complete, an interesting cache to say the least. Did a keyring exchange, TFTC

After starting this cache at least 6 months ago, it has taken me quite a while to track down the required info. Today it was time to get the cache. The numbers were right and babybent, Mrs Bent and I signed the log book. Great spot for a cache. I took the GC that was in the cache. Cheers.

This one had been tempting me for years, but it was not clear what had to be done, but today I went to see what might be required. Not much in the end, I completely stuffed up A, B was good as I had been there before and C, I think I need more help with my maths, not to worry, with a bit of luck within the bands of my likely errors, access was soon gained. Thanks.

Whoo hoo. Nice to get this one. We came here during the winter, then completed the waypoints on another trip up here recently. Weren't entirely sure of one digit so got this via a short process of elimination. Nice cache thanks. T the Travelling Bear TB, been here long enough.

465 @12:50pm

Thanks "The S's" for the opportunity to visit the GZ location twice and listen to all the birds that were here today.

Loved the idea, and the journey forth on the quest to return with the answers. Loved the locations - wish I could log why they were so beautiful today.

Left a Traveler Tag Bear.
I dropped off Traveling Trev (Traveler Tag #TF47C) here. Please help move it along!

Thought I would tackle this one nice and early while it was cool. Took some serious thinking but eventually worked it out. Signed log. TNLN TFTC.

Gee its tempting but I will behave, I have found the bits for this over the last few weeks and finally got the chance to go to the last location to complete this one this afternoon. A nice cool breeze was blowing to take the heat out of the day, it was quite nice out there.
Thanks for the unique cache.

This is one of my favourite caches of the ones I've done so far. Challenging but fun. Found on a hot, smoky evening. Not an especially nice day for it really. And I scared skippy and his mates away, too.

Found it on second try. Weather hot and windy, lots of dirt. Took: puzzle, left: ball

5th & final cache for the day. It was starting to get a little on the HOT side (30+deg day), especially as I was wearing jeans and thick socks - but I didn't want to take any chances after seeing a snake out in the bush a few days ago (no snakes sighted today though). When I got back to the GZ I was concerned that my ABCs didn't work, but I soon realised my mistake, which probably would have been avoided if I had brought Biggles303 with me. Great cache - certainly had me wondering if I should even attempt it, but was soon crystal clear upon arrival at the start point.

Had to endure near gale force winds (well maybe that's a slight exaggeration) on a cold, wet afternoon to find this cache. But it certainly measured up. The kids enjoyed themselves and we got to visit places we hadn't been to before.
T: ring, balloon, lion, koala, mini menus
L: smiley necklace, dinosaur, pen, bookmark, $2NZ

Went up to visit the cache again to snaffle the TB Barrel so that allrounder and perhaps Shadow! and I can go and do the Lock Stock and Barrel cache. Sounds like a plan!

Found with Hayley,
Got this one with two thirds completion of the task, one third was made impossible by a gathering of people.
Good fun original idea!. Never knew how nice these areas were until I wandered around them!.
Even though cache is in the sticks (almost literally) saw two passers by, had to make like we were sitting enjoying the wildlife.

Left "The Barrel" TB, the cache now has more to do with The S's
Took Swirly Pencil.

Found this with frebbles.
I really enjoyed the stroll around the lake, a pretty place I never knew existed. Shame so many people were out and we couldn't complete the last puzzle. I even managed to pace out the 'wood to wood' measurement more accurately than the GPS!
Got a couple of odd looks from people at the location of the actual cache, but a good spot for it. A fun and easy cache!
Left the 'barrel' travel bug.
Took the spiral pencil.

Took a bit of walking around in circles amongst the trees before we found what we were supposed to find at the start coordinates, however once found the rest was quite fun.
We actually started at around 6pm on Saturday afternoon, however resolving the puzzle involved travelling a little more than we had expected, so we had to return the next day to complete the last step of the puzzle.

Took 2 dollar coin, and left green wishing stone.

Lastly, I'd like to thank the S's for creating what I found to be one of the more original idea caches in Canberra that was also fun to find.

Found it with Fore!

Was concerned at what the equipment meant as we approached the water tank - but all was revealed. Easy walk in a nice area on trails.

An original approach to a cache hunt

All fun

Great idea for a cache - loved the ammo box too.

Was greeted by skippy when we arrived, although skippy had seen better days, if you know what I mean. Found this one with Shadow! and looked up at the big water reservoir and then down at my 1L measuring container... snickered and kept going.

TFTC

Took - memory cards
Left - golf tee, pencil, snake

masterXCMTB and I obtained the measurements on 29 January 2006 and completed it the following day. we must have missed gmcdeam by 1 day! it had been almost 6 months since the last recording in the log book.
i can assure gmcdean and the S's that the cache is still there and in good order. T jumping bean and old maid mini card pack. L ring and indian chief figurine. thanks S's. great cache.

Couldn't find it. Either something's changed or I'm too silly. Five of us stood there in the rain trying to work it out or find something but nothing made sense.

To be honest I cheated. Wayed up the time to find all clues against all possible cobination took about 10 min and I was in signing the book. Sorry.

Did this one over a couple of days. Weren't sure what to look for at first but is all makes sense once you get there.

I walk the dog here all the time, so it was familiar territory.

TNLN

Found this one fairly tough due to the fact I had no idea of what to look for and the surrounding trees didn't allow an accurate find for 1st clue. After perservering we managed to finally complete.

Left Jeep 4x4 TB, Koala, Koala and Ball
Took TicTacToe, Crazy Eights and Tape Measure.

Thanks S's for the exciting and interesting cache.

Hunted in a large area around the coords, but couldn't find any interesting items, or indeed any trees taller than the others. Wasn't sure what to do when we did find it either (although that appears to be common enough, and it falls into place once you get going?).
Bumped into a man who recognised us as geocachers, as he'd been to one (Diadematus unum) before..

Have picked up the ball

Thought we'd drop in and retreive the ball ready for a kick to scum drop land but lo and behold one of our fellow possum humpers has already claimed the goal and prepared for the kick.

Oh well at least it gave us a chance to check the cache condition.

I was in too much of a hurry to boot The Ball back into Possum Humper's territory that I put it in the cache without noting the tracking number. Just the day for being the fool .
Went out again later this evening to get the tracking number. On the way back to my car I noticed the Police were showing an interest in my car. The first time I've had a run-in with the law while geocaching. I said I was bushwalking and everything was Ok.

Now The Ball is officially on the correct side of town . t

Have taken "BAZ" and will drop him off soon

I started this cache earlier in the week. I didn't realise at the time that there is more to this cache than meets the eye . Did my calculations and cracked the code.

Fantastic evening for a walk, especially after the hot weekend. Enjoyed the sunset through the trees and the roos watching me from a safe distance. Dropped off my TB 'Baz', who I found loitering in New Zealand.

Started this one yesterday with GEODementia and finally finished off this morning. A well thought out and clever cache. Well Done

Found this one with ADAcache after doing some work on it yesterday. Very clever clues.... great cache.

found this with geodemetia and adacache nice place.
took rubber ball left beast.

A mystery indeed. I had started this hunt without expectation of completing it, and nearly didn't for other reasons. As others have remarked I found that once I had started the instructions begin to make sense. I was attempting the cache at night and of course when it came to use the numbers my torch batteries gave up the ghost. I managed without the torch but had to sacrafice the GPSr when it came time to sign the log. Then I faced the problem of finding my way out without the GPSr; fortunately I have a good sense of direction. TNLN. e

Another late start to work and a few more caches to find in the heat.
And boy was it hot around here.

On the way up to the original point I was thinking very hard what it all could mean, but once there things all started to add up [:o)] (yeah I know bad pun)

I suggest that if you plan to do this during summer take along the bits for a BBQ. The time you spend figuring out point b can be used for cooking it.

Lots of fun!!! Thanks

Ohh and by the way to keep the theme going with the items I left I chose a prime numbers.
1 green toy
3 red toys
(one other toy)
to make a a total of 5 toys
3 prim numbers!

I also left another note about fibonacci series, but when I got back home and looked that up I found I was all wrong so ignore my rambolings please

Found! Don't do this cache with an eye dropper and a ruler... T nill L $. Thanks for a great unexpected cache! The planning of this and your other caches, is as always, to your high standard. I would have logged this cache earlier, though had mystery computer problems. Thanks for another great cache and congratulations on the arrival of S#3 (or is it more?) zz7

This was a great cache, some of my maths left a little to be desired but it worked out in the end. I particularly liked the locations and appreciate the effort put in by the S's for this cache. It was tricky not to look like a druid on one of the clues but I think we got away with it. Tks T Compass thingy L Balloon and menus.

Found at 9:45am Saturday morning.
Tallying my measurements:
A = 91km equals LENGTH travelled on the Mountain Bike for the day retrieving this cache.
B = 2 LITRES of drinks consumed riding said 91km.
C = 3 lakes CIRCUMnavigated whilst riding the 91km and doing this cache.

I then did the maths, hmmm, the S’s maths seem to be very very wrong.
But then I realised my mistake, I was using my figures for A B & C, not the S's - then the maths worked out and I solved the problem, I found the cache and relieved it of the Penn’s Woods TB. No swaps.

Enjoyed the ride, well done to the S’s. Cooeee off I rode (down on the dirt road!).

Terrific cache, thanks Ss. It's a combination of everything good in caching - interesting forest and geography; air, earth and water; intriguing clues; going where we would not have otherwise gone; and happy endings. Pity we missed mtbikeroz who made the find an hour before us.

Ah, just returned from our holiday in Adelaide, and there’s two new caches in town! This one looked like the easier of the two (Although I’m not so sure???), so I decided to give it a try. Mind you, I was convinced that there were some instructions missing – the whole thing just didn’t make sense. Anyways, there was nothing I could do but pack my measuring devices and set off. Getting a lock around here was hard, due to all the trees, but soon I had my first clue. (I’m glad no-one else was here at the time, as I don’t know how I would have explained the items I was carrying!) Slowly things started to make sense, and soon the puzzle was solved. Well done the S’s – excellent concept! Another hill conquered. Took nothing, but left a travel bug!

Opps - forgot to log the TB...

Found about 8:30 tonight. Another original idea in caching. Well done S's on introducing another new concept and another new area. Took Light fan, left car.

Unarchive.

Send me another email if you have any other problems guys.

It appears this cache has been dupliacted at time of loading so we need to remove one
