Unlock the Mystery Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
By TeamLangy on 15-Jul-04. Waypoint GCK038

My mistake with my reviewer note on the 22nd of January was not replacing the words **temporarily disabled** with **unavailable**. Which has allowed nitpicking of the intent of my reviewer note rather than acknowledging there is an obvious problem with ongoing maintenance of this cache.

It was noted back in Feb 2020 that all the information was not available for this cache.

Even the current owner noted that it should have been disabled before my reviewer note.

Rather than being reactive and feeling maintenance only needs to be done if a reviewer highlights a problem a proactive maintenance approach would have produced a better outcome for this cache.

Clearly this cache is not being maintained -

Key to the City - hasnt had a log since April 2018
The Code Key - Missing since May 2019 and acknowledged by cache owner.
Key to the Door - last see Jan 2020 unless you count a family in Slovakia logging it
Key to the Heart - which the owner has logged - The info is missing from tag, so wonder how ppl have been using it? lol

This cache has clearly required maintenance for a long time.

I have requested action be taken on this cache. I have emailed the owner to make it clear maintenance is required.

No action has been taken as per my note of the 22 Jan therefore I am archiving this cache.

I imagine your comment about Inspicio is a feeble attempt to insult me so, to stop any further vitriol being posted to this page I am also going to lock it.

I will not be unarchiving this cache and if you feel you have a case for it to be reinstated please contact Appeals at Geocaching HQ.

I placed this in disable stays ONLY on the 19th of this month! Hardly fair to get a "Timely Reminder"?
I collected another of the keys today.
It is being fixed.
I do not see anyone (Freddo excepted) doing anything to help keep these old iconic cache going..
All I see is whinging and bitching..
Don't be an Inspicio!

Davidwazza, as Groundspeak details in their guidelines.... the cache page is not a forum.. desist from writing unnecessary notes on this cache please. You have logged your inflammatory found it log, whinged to Groundspeak, and put a NA on it... NO MORE LOGS OR NOTES ARE NEEDED HERE FROM YOU!

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

As per my log from July 2012 I still have the TB codes and associated puzzle info for the bugs. If required for replacements.

At the current time, and for the last few years for that matter, this puzzle cannot be completed due to missing TBs, and other TBs in the hands of the CO without travelling within the defined area.

It sounds like the CO intended to revamp these TBs a few years ago, so perhaps this just serves as another reminder to allow this puzzle to be worked out as intended.

I should have disabled this awhile back and got it sorted.

Given this puzzle's posted coordinates were in the city, I soon learned about what was needed for this one, and quickly put a watch on all the TBs, so I could intervene when I saw one when I was nearby. However, most of the TBs appeared to go very quiet. I think unfortunately there are a few that are likely missing (and have been for some time), and so this puzzle probably needs a review/update:
• TBGYQJ Key to the City in GC1EF8K Yurrebilla Complete - is this still in play? No mention of seeing this cache from past visitors? May need a check?
• TBE94E The Code Key has been missing from just after 1/07/2015 since it was placed in GCD7BD Meet the Family. A message posted in this TB to the CO appeared to have this confirmed, but no subsequent action conducted?
• TBH105 Key to the Door collected by the CO more than one year ago on 18/01/2020, without any further action or putting this TB back into play?
• TBGQHA Key to the Heart still in existence, but has been with sushilord since 15/07/2018. I was able to obtain this information at least, and seem to recall this being handed to the CO?
• TBGQDM Key to the Kingdom appears lost since it was placed in an archived cache on 11/02/2015.
Hence, the only way that I was able to obtain these coordinates was from asking for help from others?

This evening, I headed towards Brownhill Creek to finish exploring the area and collect a few geocaches. Luckily there was enough light left after dinner for a few short walks before it became dark. A less known spot of Adelaide that obviously has had some interesting history.

I was initially searching for this geocache in one area, but then soon spotted a very obvious spot to hide a cache. So I made my way to that object, and soon caught a glimpse of the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and I decided to leave the TB in this cache to only discover it. A few mosquitoes about tonight. It was good to find an ammo box, and was an interesting idea for a puzzle, but just probably needs some work / update. Thanks TeamLangy for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After seeing 2 out of 4 of these tbs over the past few years I soon outsourced some of the other information, after placing it into the excel spreadsheet some co ords started to look promising. Today I was right near GZ so made my way over to have a look, the cache handle was the only think visible, so with a stick bob the builder action occurred and the cache was soon out and free. Cache and contents are all good and TB dropped.


Today I set out to clean up around brown hill creek and find all the caches within close range, I soon realised I had a lot of the day left so continued on with Hawthorndene and then around Watiparinga Reserve. All in all 13km walked and 31 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

We found all the keys for this one back in 2008/2009, but had forgotten to work out GZ and get the final [B)]!
After being reminded about this when we came across a key a couple of weeks ago, thought it was high time we put this series to bed [^].
Today was the day. A quick find in a very grand place, hidden in an enchanted forest .
Great to read through all the old logs - back in the days when people actually wrote things in the book .
TNLNSL.
Thanks TeamLangy (and Hurtle for adopting this one).

A classic old school hide TFTC

Just taking the NM spanner off the page, from many years ago...

As our earlier DNF log stated, it took quite some time to gather all the required information. Some of the TBs needed were in challenging caches. But you get that.
And eventually we had all the information needed.
And then got a set of coordinates.
But as our first log made clear we could not find it.
After discussing this with some others it seemed that we had been searching on the wrong side of the water and so a plan was made to return today.
From 5 metres awy the hide was obvious and so it turned out to be.
Love an ammo container
Name added to logbook and everything returned as found
TNLNSL
TFTC TeamLangy and Hurtle

AnyMules and I set out upon a little Mission. Start walking the Yurrebilla Trail and getting the caches along the way. Of course 'along the way' meant a few little detours away from the trail and back again.
Day 1: Belair Railway Station to McElligott's Quarry. [^]
Bloody hell..how are we going to get there. Didn't feel like a paddle so a walk past, then back, then bush bash, then detour around the blackberries, then finally we arrived at GZ. Wow and old style cache. Thanks Hurtle for adopting this cache and keeping it in play.

It has taken quite a while to gather the required information
Today I was in the area of the GZ I had calculated.
I had confirmed with a previous finder that the area was where I needed to be although not my coordinates.
However at GZ the reason for the T rating became clear and the myriad of spots to search was too great for the time available. I will return.

Unlock the Mystery was transferred from TeamLangy to user Hurtle

after chasing the keys for this one around Adelaide and getting the info on the missing one it was time to unlock the mystery. Every time I came here before I was time poor and just very got to this cache, today I had the time but it started raining. Got to gz and nothing there, looked around and thought " that's where I would put it " ( only 8 metres away ) and there it was.

After having gathered all the required info for this one, today I made the journey to GZ. An impressive looking hiding spot. TFTC. 1/07/2016, 4:36 PM Find #2341

Gathered majority of the info and seeked helped on the missing ones. In the area today and thouggt why not stop and finally get this one. Short stroll and a quick find. Grabbed TBs to move on

Finally!!!!!
After years of chasing, tracking, puzzle solving, patience, persistence and the few odd swear words I can finally tick this one off the list. After picking up the key to the heart yesterday and crunching a few numbers last night I had a few sets of coords with only one looking plausible today I set out for a find. After parking near gz I immediately knew I was in the right place and followed my nose (Or caching instinct, which ever you'd prefer) and soon had the cache in hand. After a little jig of celebration a gz I signed the log, placed a few trackables I returned the cache to it's 'little' hiding spot and was on my way. Now I'm enjoying a celebration drink in honor of finally finishing this cache.
tcftc Langy. Worth the favorite point I think.

Having collected the keys some time ago it was time to unlock the mystery and retrieve the cache, grabbed Mattycat for bit of afternoon caching and soon arrived at GZ for a search and soon discovered the likely hide which meant a little detour and walk to get to the spot to find a nice sized cache TFTC TeamLangy

Having found the keys between us, Mr Froghoppin did the work to make sense of it all and cat came along for the ride
Pleased the mystery has been unlocked! tufts

Also a great cache for my number 2400

I started on this quest as part of another mystery cache which used a couple the keys to unlock part of its secrets, so once I started collecting the keys I thought I’d just keep going. Slowly gathered the Keys over several years.

All was going well until I got to the Key of the Heart which is apparently a lost heart. Nevertheless, with 4 of the 5 keys found I managed to get the final.

Down this way today, and after a little bit of a crossing, found this elusive hide safe and well!

Great challenge. Thanks TeamLangy.

CACHING Member - Cachers Against Canned Hunting In Nomadic Groups

After many many months of rounding up the necessary clues, there really is only one mystery left to solve here. Where the bloody hell is Key to the Heart?? It remains at large, whereabouts unknown. WANTED posters have been placed but as yet it has not been sighted for many months (all 18 of them now).

Excel is good for calculations but the answers it provides are only as good as the data is given. Hence, I wasted some time before realising that my transcriptions were faulty. In the end, numbers were calculated and co-ords derived. At GZ, nothing was found but a quick look around the general area and an obvious spot was seen a short distance away (but I slightly longer walk was required).
TFTC T_Langy.

Managed to head out with ttrogg for a bit of caching down Brown Hill creek way.
A nice day out with a variety of finds.
Thanks for the cache TeamLangy

Had this solved for some time now just needed to visit the area for the find.

TFTC

Out today with DPA on a Brown Hill Creek mission.
The mission involved some detective work about a recent crime.
Mission creep allowed this one to be found as well. Ran across one of the keys for this very early in my caching career but has taken over 3 years to get to the log associated with it.
Thanks for the cache TeamLangy

A bit of a team effort was cobbled together to make this find

We ran into Locus Cache and GeoWalrus at a previous cache and got to talking about this one. I had a few of the keys, walrus had all of them and locus had a set of coords, so we set off in pursuit of this long-time-unfound cache.

On arrival at the location we enthusiastically jumped out of the car to claim a smiley. After a short search, walrus mentioned that there are 30 possible locations, so the two of us returned to the car to calculate the alternatives. Only 2 came out in coord format and only one promising the required terrain. As we determined this, a woo hoo was heard from GZ - Locus and Squirrel had found the cache.

An awesome adventure, thanks Team Langy

Very late last night locus cache and I were on our way to hunt down a couple of unknowns I had solved recently and found ourselves driving past a certain metallic tree. Soon after bek-theraccoon and alex the squirrel joined us and before we knew it we realised that combined we had all the information for this cache.

The start did not go well, and after suspecting that we were in the wrong place, bek and I ran various numbers through a spreadsheet. Soon after we had conclusively decided we were in the right place and just as the laptop lid closed, a voice echoed through the night... the triumphant call of the rare locus. TFTC TeamLangy!

Mrs Travellinbees had asked me to chauffeur her to the Puzzles for Beginners: 1 event and so on our way, we found some caches.
Attended the event and then I swapped caching partners and headed out with RideTheGeoWalrus, accompanied by 3LG in their car for a while too.
Finally, RideTheGeoWalrus and I met up with bek-theraccoon and Alex-thesquirrel (well, actually we LOL as we muggled them looking in the wrong spot ) so we then all put our info together and went to locus cache some harder to solve caches!
I ended the day with one FTF, 1 event attended and 11 smileys obtained

It took me quite some time to get all the information and then GZ had been sitting in my GPSr for ages.
After muggling our fellow cachers and having a road island side chat, we decided to head up here for a cache that none of us had yet found.
Arrived at GZ only to think....'that's the obvious[?] there's nowhere to hide a cache there!'
While some did the computer processes again, some of us re read the available info and then looked around.....sometimes hand held suns do come in handy for unlocking mysteries!
Such a short distance but such a long time to get there for me...while the squirrel did it in no time.
We found the MORE obvious just a bit away from GPSr GZ and we found the cache, just as the others informed us that they had confirmed our original GZ.
Mystery is unlocked!

TNLN. SL. TFTC TeamLangy

An interesting study in the difference between brute force and cold hard calculations. The team split into two groups with LocusCache and I scaling slopes and crossing creeks to check out an interesting object in the darkness while bek-theraccoon and RideTheGeoWalrus crunched the numbers back at the car. Eventually the cache was found and the four of us signed the log in the dark. TFTC Langys

We were very close to this cache today, and had some trackables to drop off, so decided to drop a travel bug here. Inside of the cache is in tip top condition. [^]

Thanks to Freddo for getting the keys back to life. Ironically I found one of the keys a couple of years back when I first started caching and didn't know I needed to record the details on it.

Years later I'd collected the clues from four of the five keys. Some "brute force" mathematics was applied to workout what the fifth number should be. With a likely GZ calculated I came past today to make the find on a beautiful ammo box in a beautiful location.

Thank goodness this one is finally found. Signed the log. Thanks for the cache TeamLangy.

Freddo has found the information to replace the missing keys for this cache. Stand by for some maintenance.

I tagged along with e.gregory1 for this one. I really liked the hide. Thanks TeamLangy for the cache.

Like the previous finder, I also gathered as much information as I could from the keys that still exist before garnering the missing information from 'other' sources. I was in the general area and had the opportunity to visit GZ with EsromL this afternoon. It certainly is a good location and cache is in good order. It would be terrific if the missing keys could be replaced so others have the chance to complete this great puzzle. Thanks TeamLangy for the cache.

Having found 3 out of the 5 keys and the other 2 keys marked as missing, I figured I’d done enough to ‘earn’ the rights to the final coordinates. I found an accommodating source (after exchanging some help on another puzzle cache) and decided to make a little detour in search of the illustrious cache.
Despite getting wet feet at a nearby crossing a smooth discovery was made and 6 months after finding the first key the odyssey has finally ended.

Lovely morning for a stroll in this neck of the woods. No need to carry extra weight so may as well drop of this Squeaky Heart key I no longer have the need for. Clear skies

Finally make it today... Had the coordainte for ages.... No swap. Thanks TeamLangy for the cache and hunt.

We've been sitting on the coords for this one for quite a while now, thanks to our quest to solve the Greater Geocaching Shuffle. Parked on the wrong side of the track, got wet feet from the flooded creek and made the find. Hmmm...what's this in the cache? A Code Grille? We don't want that one, it can stay here . TFTC Langy.

TB goes in. TB goes out

Bug Swap

I suspect that this cache is the perfect location to place this travel bug. Stand by for the rush.

I met Team Waldron there as arranged. I bet Team Waldron was amused when he saw me arriving in my wellies and raincoat. We managed to find it in the rain. After that I decided to go back to my cosy home.
Thanks TeamLangy for the cache.

As Lava12 said, we met at GZ in the rain. I think she was a bit overdressed for the occasion.

A quick and easy find.

As some of the keys are missing, a previous finder provided me with the details required to complete the puzzle.

TFTC

Found with Ma7:7hew on Australia Day. It's been a long time since this one was found. I'd stupidly forgotten my hat today so the Amdel one came in very handy to cover my mostly hairless head for the rest of the day TFTC

Found with someuser while doing the Mitcham Quarry series

Finally
Remember finding some keys back in 2007. Even created a cache on 4/3/07 placing one of the keys in it. The next few took a while to find especially with them being out of action, but managed to get there. Wished I'd kept the tracking numbers for all the keys. Just missing the tracking number from Heart, otherwise I'd be able to always ensure the keys could stay in play, with Langy now in Queensland.
Found the other cache early this year that depended on the keys (Greater Shuffle), but rarely passed near GZ to log this cache.
As luck would have it, Sandy needed to go to a meeting nearby, so Cal and I took the opportunity to get this off our city caches list. Our initial GZ seemed to be somewhere obvious, but no cache could be found, although there was somewhere else that looked obvious but with a crossing in between. Confirmed with a friend that a crossing was needed and so Cal and I set off on foot to get to the otherside and find the cache. Picked up a few seeds for our troubles, but cache was quickly found when I looked at the right angle.
Found an interesting piece of caching history in the ammo tin - an Amdel Cap. Not sure they exist anymore. Enjoyed reading through the previous logs too. Guess you don't need to do any maintenance here for a long time given there is a spare second log book still untouched after all these years. Cal grabbed a star and left a toy.
Thinking about the location I reckon it is almost 30 years since I've been up here, and that might have actually been with Langy and the Baggygreens.
TFTC Team Langy

Cheers

Geee.... Dog108 gets around don't they? Checkout their 'logs/finds' then delete them at your whim!!!
As an example, they have 'found' cache but there is no physical logs in the logbooks!
They also have not activated wheir email address with gc.com!

With the long lost keys back in action, I can finally cross this one off the todo list. Isn't it great how the final can be so far away from the listed coords for these old puzzles . Quite a good spot in the end! I'm a bit late logging - somehow I managed to overlook logging it at the time....

TNLN - Thanks Langy!

Found at 17:00.
I am so glad to get this one off the radar, after nagging Langy for a year to fix up the bugs. A great concept and a nice final location.
Somehow in all my excitement I failed to actually load the coordinates in the GPS, but decided to have a go at Shonky's method and follow the geotrail. Easy find.
Thanks Langy.

After the finds 2 days ago there's now a geotrail to this cache.

This has been the closest unfound cache to home for a long, long time. More recently it's been usurped by 100 Aker Wood, but it's still nice to be able to cross it off the list and move on to something else.

YAY!!!

At long last, having spent months with only three pieces of data, the re-release of those two keys has finally made this possible. Neat final spot too. Very pretty in it's own way.

Thanks for the adventure Langy, it's been fun!

What a day. We completed 51 Sundays, On ya Knees, and Unlock the Mystery

The good thing about having dinner with other cachers, is that they are understanding when you don't quite get there on time, because your out grabbing a cache

We grabbed the final key from 51 Sundays, and returned home to put the last of the data in. It wasn't too far out of the way for our way to dinner, so why not!

Great to finally finish this one, and find a nice big cache as well!

Thanks langy for the fun, and challenge of getting this one completed

Did contemplate leaving a TB but figured it might be a while before the next visit

Who says that my lancer wont make it over creek crossings, I've even got the photo to prove it!

TNLNSL

Apologies for being the bearer of bad news .... but
I think "Key to the Heart" also needs to be replaced, going by the logs for "On Ya Knees".

Cheers and Thanks.

Keys in play again.

All the Keys are back in play!

Who will find it?

Can we re-ignite the mystery please?

Put the two long missing keys back into circulation.

Send me an email when or if you release "Key to the Door" and "Key to the Kingdom" and we'll discuss unarchiving the cache.

How about archiving it.
Then creating a traditional with the cache as is (those that have found it can either refind it, or just add a new log).
Then use the TBs and create a new Unlock the Mystery Style cache. Would be fun with all the new teams these days.
Just my 2c.

Cheers

A new Unlock the Mystery Style cache?

Well, if the existing one cannot be fixed then what a great idea.

I really like the concept.



.

Come on Langy, this is ridiculous. This cache has been unsolvable for over a year, yet you said over three months ago you were going to replace the required travel bugs, but nothing ever happens.

Any chance of actually putting those two replacement bugs in a cache?

Please, either get these bugs back in circulation, or archive the cache.

Any news on resurrecting the bugs so this cache can be completed?

dropping in the 'Bat Key' TB

It just seemed appropriate that it visit this cache

Please get those two travel bugs back in circulation. Without them, this cache is unsolvable.

Found 11:50. 1st of 9 FFTD. We have had the coordinates for this one for more than 12 months, and decided that we had to start searching in one of the likely locations. Came up trumps on the first attempt. TNLNSL. TFTC and unlocking the mystery.

It took about a year to nab this one. I use it as my city centre point on GSAK, so it is always there reminding me.

Found it today, in the end with a bit of reverse engineering using TB data, though two of them have been out of circulation for many months now.

In the end it was a rewarding find with a sense of relief! I took the TB referred to in the log below. I'll try to sort out its logs to bring it up to speed.

Had to dodge some hailstones in this surprising, yet not so surprising place. Thanks!

Found this with SAParrothead while in town visiting for the WPFG. I dropped two TB's in this cache while there. One came home with me to gain mileage in a contest, the other stayed there. I'm having trouble logging the bug that is there. Please give me a few days to get it straightend out before moving on. Thanks.

Found by Mary & David at 1315. This has taken us years. Think we managed one key each visit, and we were grateful when the last one awaited in a Zytheran cache we'd already found. Very satisfying and so much fun. Took party glitter, left a business card holder. There was even a bit of wattle in bloom. Our thanks to TeamLangy.

Couldn’t get to sleep worrying about this. In the end I got up and fired up the laptop.

Checked the spreadsheet numbers.

Placed the waypoint on the mapping software... Mmmm... that’s not where I was looking. Close though.

Loaded the waypoints from the gps. Mmmm (once again). Why are the waypoints about xxm apart?

Checked gps was on WGS84 = OK.
Checked lat/long in gps... Ahhhh etc.

Reloaded gps so co-ordinates same as spreadsheet and back to bed.

Walked straight up to the cache today
---------------------
One of the great South Australian caches.

Thanks Langy.

.

After so many months I finally decided it was about time I made the trip. No cache - dammmmm.

Time to call a friend. He confirmed I was looking into the correct place, so looked even harder. Even got a stick and poked around in case someone had covered it. Still no cache. Considering the location it should be just sitting there!

Since November 2004 I had collected all the keys and while waiting for the right time to find the mystery cache I had lost all the numbers and answers. So then 6 months later i find it and I lost it again, this went on and on for a while until yesterday I found the notes and first thing this morning on my way to Coromandel valley i stopped my truck on the road and found the finally found this mystery cache.

TNLN stamped with the skippy stamp and off I go,

Thanks Langy great cache

After finding all the keys in summer we eventually set out to find this cache with our hopeful GZ! Found the cache easily - it was harder to find all the keys.

Thanks for the great chase Langy!!

Yah finally found it, found the hardest part was that all the keys kept magically appearing in hard multies... Which is okay as it made me attempt the ones I would never have attempted before, so much so I came to quite enjoy the challenge and the thrill of finding them.

Once all keys were found GZ was easily found, well okay that was a lie, it was the second try, the first try I came away full of mud and prickles - so many, that once my socks dried it took days pulling the prickles out of my socks ... second try made me look at the most logically spot first rather than the hardest and was then an easy find

Thanks Team Langy for a great cache

After entering all the key data into the handy Langy spreadsheet, we could finally plot a waypoint in Ozi. Set out today to log this brilliant cache, and enjoyed another trip in this scenic area. Lots of work going on nearby, but hopefully this cache will be safe. GPSr at first put us in a somewhat damp area, but logic told us to go look just over there. And low and behold, the mystery was unlocked [^] I wonder if this means we can still pick up the key to the City? Took a giraffe, left a cat. Picked up the screw Geo coin. Thanks Langy for the excellent journey.

Rated: for Overall Experience

What an adventure! First found Key to the City on 23rd Oct 05 in Magpie Gully, placing it in Sir Donalds Bridges. Found Key to the Door on 19th Nov in Goodies Radio, placing it in Clapped Out, and on the same day found The Code Key in Hack, placing it in Scott Creek Multiple. Found Key to the Kingdom on 21 Jan 06 in Summer Track Only, placing it in Vector. Found the last of the keys, Key to the Heart on 13 March in Lofty Ambitions, placing it in Venus. Did the calculations and today checked out one possible location - turned out to be in the middle of a road! Second possibility (not far from several other caches), and there it was! A four-and-a-half month adventure now complete! Thanks TeamLangy for the great cache.

Pleased to finally have this one put to bed. A very enjoyable scavenger hunt around the caches of Adelaide.

Took pens, notebook and mini globe. Left pens, pocket knife and LED torch.

Left Geocoin Screw.

Well Well Well what can I say....

I found this without collecting all the keys (have 4 of the 5 though), without calculating the final co-ordinates, AND without any hints or tips!!! [:o)] Now all I have to do is find the cache I went to that area for in the 1st place!!!

We were heading across town over Xmas to conquor 'Convict Run' and to retrieve the Key to the Kingdom, may still do so, and move it on, as it has been there for such awhile!

Thanks Langy for the game of 'Chase the Keys'.

PS: If anyone thinks I can and will supply the final location, think again, as I didn't mark it! [:o)]

This is a double celebration for us - our 100th find and an anniversary or is that an anniversary and our 100th find. Took mini slinky left keyring thermometer. Great game - good spot.

It all began on the 3rd of Oct 04 at First Against The Wall when the Revelution Comes and after that visited Strawberry Field not Forever, Magnum Carta, Oz Bug Race - 2004 & last but not least Light at the end of the Tunnel. This evening it was time to finally complete the final piece of the mystery. The sat lock wasn't brilliant but there was the bleedingly obvious place which I almost dimissed thanks to having a man look the first time.
We dined out on the range of goodies, T Rainbow Puzzle Ball, Racing Car & a Pander Bear and L Pack of Fluro Pens, Slinkey & Racing Car. Thanx Langy!!

This was a cache that I was determined to eventually get, but equally determined that it was not going to give me an ulcer. I thought I would wait until all the hoo-ha had died down and the keys weren’t being moved on a daily basis. In the meantime, I would gather them as I came across them. I got three that way, and the final two seemed to be static in caches close to home. However, since ParrotHead used them for one of his caches, they have suddenly become attractive again. This was enough to galvanise me to finish it off. Figured out the only logical solution last night and spewed when I realised that I had been within 30m of it while picking up another cache recently Took a small chimp and left a puzzle ball thing and a baseball cap. Thanks Langy. Better late than never

Took the TB Staggering Scooby for a vist to this cache as it is his goal to visit mystery caches.
Logged a visit note. Then took TB back home with us.

Sometimes you have to work real hard to earn a point. Well we got there in the end. Picked the spot where the cache would be hidden as soon as we pulled up in the area. Thanks Team Langy. Took air freshener and left tyre repair kit.

Finally. We probably could have gotten this one a lot earlier if we’d figured out what those travelbugs were for! I think we visited a lot of caches with the keys in them before we realised they’d help us find a cache.
The final calculation to find the cache was not too difficult and was conveniently on the way to Wibble 1’s Cub Scout meeting so I picked it up on the way. Not too treacherous a find although I did almost loose my woggle!
TNLN because there were some muggles not too far away and I didn’t want to look any more suspicious than I already did.
Thanks Langy! For making us work hard for this one.

A great cache Langy. I did this one by chance- never actively seeking the keys but letting them come to me. All good things come to those who wait – very true in this case. The final location is a lovely spot, - certainly a Key to my Heart as a young child in this neck of the woods.

Many thanks to Langy, may your skies be very clear, Astro. [^]

Finally finisher this one. Has taken about a monthe with muggling of caches and missing points to add frustration. Had to visit Wo ist die Wasserfall, Old Cobblers, Hallet Theatre, Magnum Carta and Olive with that Martini, then On the nose to collect the keys. An excellent challenge. Once the math was done and with the help of the clues there was only one 'obvious' choice and final cache was found easily. Thanks Langy. Took a nature puzzle and left a USB card reader. Cheers

Found after a collection of keys yesterday.
Thought that I had already logged this one but now I am. Found easily as there is only one combination.
TNLNSL

Can I just ask that people stick to the 'guidelines' printed on the back of each key's paper tag as closely as possible. There have been a couple of naughty cachers out there lately. Anyone caught will be given a Saturday detention where you are forced to read the gc.com forums!!

Finally managed to grab the last key we needed today from the Whispering Wall, so after a bit of spreadsheet wrangling we arrived at 'the obvious location' - a quick find in the end, just took us a couple of months to get there!! Glad to have finished this one before we left. Unfortunately our cache bags have been packed up for the removal already (!!) so TNLN. Cheers Team Langy - thanks for an epic cache!

Hey thats 2 rules you have broken. .
The first is you moved it out of bounds and the second is you moved the key twice. . Yes I know only you can change the rules...

Well today SA_ParrotHead finally unlocked the mystery.
After a final unhill battle got the last piece of data I needed (Thanks Langy)(Thank zytheran for such a great key location). I hope the next person enjoys finding that key as much as I did.
City Key - Light at the end of the tunnel
Code Key - Elizabeth High
Door Key - Elizabeth High
Heart Key - Yerrakartarta Cache
Kingdom Key - In Wo ist die Wasserfall?
This has been an excellent chase. Took TB Taco dog and TB Texas Armadillo along for the ride. Couldnt stop the wife driving back and forth through a puddle we encountered.
Swapped the voucher for an Am.Fm radio and a car air freshener.

Sleeps Hill Trio, Windy Tunnel and Elizabeth Heights (twice) and I've forgotten the 5th key location. I think this cache should be 4 star for the effort required over 3 weeks! Nice easy final cache though. Took carabiner and glowing star (Mini-Zyth1 has started a collection) and left magpie toy, tortoise toy and 2 glitter pads for someones new caches.
Thanks for experience Team Langy.

After finally managing to get the last key out of Grand Old Duke this morning, it was time to pull the laptop out and plot the possible locations. Only 2 possible and the hint eliminated one (plus on the map the other looked much more likely anyway).

Back in the car and off to GZ, parking then working out the best way to get to it. Easily found with nobody around - must all have been at home watching the footy.

Took a polar bear and left a Q&A booklet on China. Thanks Langy for a fun experience, made better by some of the caches the keys were placed in on the way. [^]

Found by Team piggy. After grabbing & decoding all thekeys on the first day this cache was out, i finally decided I had better log it !
TNLN, but a great cache, well done langy.

Radiaoactive Ham, XYL and Harmonics say thanks to team Langy for a very interesting cache hunt.
Harmonic 1 extracted the cache with fear and trembling due to some large cobwebs.
Harmonic 1 & 2 than had a serious squabble about swaps! but we finally sorted it out.

Took;PEZ dispenser,cube puzzle & $5 scratchy ticket (no luck!)
Left; 2 puzzles (with the ball bearing maze), glow in the dark things & packet of sequins.

Found by Team George Jetson working alongside Team Canyonero, midnight run on Sat 14 Aug 04, 10pm.

On account that TGJ spent some hours working the TL's XL spreadsht and developing one's own spreadsht of coord permutations, then doing some eliminations, we are claiming the find with TC also. In the 2 weeks leading up to the find, TC & ourselves ventured to the site on 3 occasions to find it on the 3rd. Battling poor EPE the first night, then nature the next, we got it the last time. Top one TL. TNLN. Thanks alot.
