Second time here with a clue on where to find it but no luck in the rain Sad

Maybe in daylight and no rain on another day .... just noticed that it is archived - can confirm that it has gone.
 
19-Jul-10
Gone missing too many times now. Been a good few years though.
 
17-Jul-10
Irac- and Moses on the Move had found this before but no luck today
Mr Frog had accidentally found it a few years ago
 
04-Jun-10
Searched for while on a YP caching blitz with Mtbikeroz
Not sure what we were supposed to be looking at but we scoured this entire area and found nothing!
Is it here??
 
04-Jun-10
DNF after TWO of us searched high and low for 30 mins.

We had lunch here after a busy morning. No sign of the Fonz, Richie or even Joanie unfortunately but we found your cache and that was Happy Days!
Thanks to Cached.
 
14-Mar-10
Nice placement of the cache.
We stopped for lunch here to see if it realy was Happy.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
07-Mar-10
Interesting spot to stop - more history across the road. Cute hide - makes a change from all the usual ones. Thanks Cached.

Trail06 was with me for a cache run and he had tried to find this one when it was first published.

He was hoping this one would have me stumped for a while but it was quickly seen.

great cache, found easily enough, just not tall enough to put it back, had to jump!

Very tricky,depends on which way you look at it.tftc
 
11-Feb-10
Nice one! To be honest..... can't say I consciously found it..... just the movement in the wind caught my eye. Beauty!
Cheers 4 da cache Cached!

A nice easy find after about 3 minutes, very clever. Found during the walenators caching SMASHEX of Western Victoria and the Yorke Peninsular SA. TFTH...SL....TNLN
 
30-Dec-09
One of those ones where you walk around and around and around again then you look up in dispair and start laughing. tftc
 
28-Dec-09
A nice find on a night away to Yorkes. Nice to take our time to cache these ones we usually race past.

Checked all over, then stepped back to have a think, and spotted it.

Cheers from Mr & Mrs Barra
 
06-Dec-09
Easiest find for the day.
Had to wait for farm machinery to travel down the road.
Most harvesting now completed in area.
Very sneeky hide and well done" Cached"
Took a bit of thinking but a fairly easy find in end.
 
Walked up to and around monument only to have Mrs GUIO go found it before I had even looked up from the GPS.
Damn her Wink LOL
Good hide, simple yet effective.

Day 2 - Yorke Penninsula Geocaching Trip
I loved this hide [^]
We were going round in circles and about to give up when I checked the previous logs.
Ah Ha! Another cache in hand - Happy Days for sure Big Grin
Thanks for bringing us to this place.

At least I found it eventually after almost giving up. Cleverly hidden.
Thanks Cached for the cache. Smile
 
08-Aug-09
Not quite what we were expecting, but found without difficulty. Tennis courts across the road looking a bit sad. Thanks for the journey.
 
29-Jul-09
As stated by Stormchasers, this has been a long-term nemesis cache but after searching hard, I found it, and I couldn't believe it! Such a good feeling to nail this bloody cache!

TFTC =]
 
29-Jul-09
We were here back in January 16th, 2006, when we didn't know what a bison tube was. Now with a little more experience we found it. Wasn't where we thought it would be. Great hide, hope it lasts. Found at 12pm.

TFTC.
 
21-Jul-09
Claiming a find after replacing the cache. Hopefully the little blighter stays put, will keep an eye on it.
 
21-Jul-09
Thanks to a local, Ciril, for helping get this one back off the ground.
 
09-Jun-09
Urgh, that would explain why I couldn't find it. Still, it's a fun concept, and I'm sure The Fonz would approve.
 
07-Jun-09
Hi
I've lloked for this one a few times a night and failed to find, I could replace it with a bison tube if you like, if you could pm me with its hide spot I'd be happy to do that.
Cheers Ciril
 
07-Jun-09
Seems this one hasn't survived the LWE. It'll be at least august before I can repair, so any volunteer help welcome - but it does have to be the right type of container to work!

Thanks heaps

Cached - temporarily living in Townsville.
 
06-Jun-09
We spotted shonkylogic searching in vain while passing, and decided to come back to surprise him. Having found it previously, we think it's either missing or crept well away from where it used to be.
 
06-Jun-09
First time it was raining so didn't want to hang around. Second time I had been told exactly where to find it... but no cache. Hmmmmmm.
 
05-Jun-09
We must have been the first to not find this one on the long weekend.
 
26-May-09
Easy find but had been told roughly where it was so was expecting an easy hide. TFTC
 
28-Apr-09
Found on the Swampy + Adrian Mc YP tour.

Almost walked away as we were on a tight schedule but found in the end.

This one had us going for a while but Adrian spotted it in the end. Sneaky hide that.
Thanks

Find # 240

Found by Bianca.
Very clever hiding place!!
 
12-Apr-09
We must have been looking at the right time as the reflection from the sun was a great help.

We couldn't have been happier - we found the cache and it's a beauty ! SL Cheers buddy [^]
 
09-Apr-09
DNF at 4:52 PM.
Must definitely be close to having as many DNF's as finds today.
Checked in all the crevices I could, sun was setting so it was difficult to see every spot. Hopefully when we return in June we will be able to find this one with the assistance of a help line.

Found quite easily - problem - dressed for a funeral... what do I do.. Improvise. Wasnt letting this pass by... Got the cache, the log was full so replaced log with a new one and signed it and off I go.... Nice sneaky hide... Thanks Cached.

Took a little bit of searching before muggle husband found this one. TFTC
 
04-Jan-09
It took some searching, but eventually Mr O saw the cache and strained himself to collect it. The log's chockers, so it should probably be replaced. TFTC.
 
21-Dec-08
A quick find on a highly unsuccessfully crabbing trip to peninsula. Log needs replacing as it is full.

Tricky hide - luckily we spotted it after a short while of searching around. Thanks Cached

Took a little while, co-ords are spot on.
But got it in the end.
Great hide thanks Sam Twisted.
 
07-Oct-08
went back in the car, stringy found it and a find was scored
 
07-Oct-08
Nearly gave up on this one. I wasn't sure what I was looking for. but I looked once more and found it. A new container for me.
 
Sunday, Monday, Happy Days, Tuesday, Wednesday Happy Days, Thursday, Friday, Happy Days. Saturday, What a day. Caching all week with you! Well Sunday to Wednesday at least!

Twice attemps. Aaaahhhh very trick one. Excellent hide spot. SL. Thanks Cached for organising the cache and hunt.
 
27-Apr-08
Found @ 12:15 with our muggle friends, took a combined efforts of the our teams. The logbook still has room for 5 - 6 entries, came this way home to help, tried but couldn't fit more paper in there Sad. Thanks Cached for an interesting stop Smile
 
I must admit I had given up and was getting in the car to leave then FOUND IT! SL. Thanks!!
 
20-Mar-08
KerrNT's first SA micro. Hadn't read the writeup so wasn't sure of the cache size, fortunately have seen a couple of these in Darwin Wink Log book is totally full - didn't have anything to replace it sorry. Thanks Cached FTC [:d]
 
07-Feb-08
Found easily enough in the dark. Paper is now full.

Using local knowledge on this one - Rocky Glen Grommets drove straight to this spot - took a while to locate but having looked at a photo image certainly assisted us in knowing what we were looking for. Found by RG Mum but needed assistance of Rocky Glen Grom2 to climb to retrieve. Of course, Bob Grom was helping as well. We really enjoyed this cache - very clever and well thought out - thanks to Cached for this one!
 
23-Jan-08
Glad we had seen the picture of the container-great hide! But there is only room for about 2 more logs on the very small roll of paper. TFTC
 
03-Jan-08
Easy find by Min 2, but we had a little trouble replacing it. Great cache.

30-Dec-07
On a hot day we set out to have some time in the air conditioned car. Unfortunatly when we reached GZ hogletts were afraid to get out og the car due to a hissing noise. Fortunatly it was not a snake and the hogletts had to get out because unfortunatly the tyre was going flat ( so much for a cool time for me). Had called past previously on a gloomy day with no joy but as the gang had time on their hands sucess was ours at last. Hoglett Mike spotted and retrieved it TNLN TFTC

This was cache # 15 of 18 attempted today, on my tour of the Yorke Peninsula. I don't know what a Bison Tube is nor how big one is, and I still don't. There was only one spot that I thought could hold something, but there didn't appear to be anything there.

I didn't want to spend too much time on one cache, so I abandoned the search after a few minutes. Thanks for the cache, Cached. Nicely done.

Great hide but had some trouble getting it. We really enjoyed this one. Thanks
 
26-Sep-07
Found by Barry and Beryl at 5.22 pm after a day at the Paskeville field day, this was our second visit to this site as we had no notes on the first visit we had no idea what we were looking for. We soon spotted the Bison Tube this time and it was the first time we have seen one, it is great. Coordinates are spot on.
Thanks to Cached
 
16-Sep-07
A bit tricky in the dark. Luckily some not very vague hints had been given out months ago by a friend and they came back to me at the right moment.Still took a bit of looking to spot it though. Very creative and different. Keeps us on our toes.

Second visit to this trivky little number. Love the Bisen Tube. Cheers for a good cache.
 
26-Aug-07
It was on the ground in the dirt so I put it back where I thought is should be, Hope I got it right.
 
03-Aug-07
Found by our muggle friend Anne. Interesting place. Thanks Cached.
 
30-Jun-07
Woohoo! found it. Signed log. Exit stage left. Cheers, Rav 4 Raiders
 
10-Jun-07
Found after a short look, I now know what a bison tube is, I don't think you could fit a bison in it, so what is it used for?
TNLN odviouly
Thanks
 
27-May-07
A good hide found with a little difficulty on the way to a dance in Maitland. At least now we know what a "bison tube" is. TFTC
 
17-May-07
After an unsuccessful attempt on New Years Eve this year, we returned to this one on another trip to Port Vincent. What a challenge! Were pleased to finally find this one, after receiving a hint from Moses on the Move. What a frustrating, but clever hide! Thanks!
 
28-Apr-07
Big challenge from friends saying they did not think I would get this one.
Looked hard for thirty minutes, had a coffee, thought for 5 minutes and sure enough there it was.
Thanks for a very clever cache.
Moses on the move.
 
22-Apr-07
Didn't take too long to spot once I read the clues and realised it was a tricky micro. Could just get to it. TNLNSL, thanks Cached.
 
09-Apr-07
Oops forgot to log this one from back in April. On our way to Yorkes for the week and this came up not found Surprised Can remember the cache thanks cached!
 
09-Apr-07
Well done!!!! thanks to the clues we were able to retrieve this easily with stinjali because they had the reach Great idea.
 
24-Mar-07
I searched and searched and just couldn't find it but as we turned to go back to the car my tall son saw the cache.Very clever and this short person would never have found it by herself.
 
31-Dec-06
We had a wonderful time on New Years Eve at "Happy Days" and after an hour or so of nothing gave up and went into Maitland to visit a horse.

We both decided that it wasn't going to beat us so we went back to "Happy Days" later in the evening and after 30 more minutes of unsuccessful hunting, it was 2007!

Any hint would be handy, but first, what is a "bison tube?
 
18-Nov-06
Yep, you suceeded, we couldn't find it!
 
28-Oct-06
This one had us looking all over the place. Gave ourselves a time limit and found with 2min to spare. Bit of a hybrid between a micro and a nano.Thanks for the challange
 
23-Oct-06
Cunning little cache, had us looking around a little, if it wasn't for the torch and a bit of sparkle I think we might still be looking. Our judgement very clever hide.
TB Baggy "coat of arms" Greens, dropped in for a visit and moved on.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Found 15:30. 9th of 12 FFTD as we circumnavigate the Yorke.

Hhhheeeeeeeyyyyyyyy Big Grin. Thats not fair!.

Which bit of a Bison looks like that?

Found by my 4yo daughter while I was off getting tools to start dismantling Smile

Fun for the whole family.
 
23-Jul-06
Fortunately the experience of KriKe came to the fore with this one. First time I have seen a Bison tube!

Cheers and out
Team TDB
 
23-Jul-06
We had been wanting to come past here for a while, having heard the stories. On a jaunt with TDB we spent sometime searching all nooks and crannies. Just as Mr KriKe was getting some persuasive tools from the car Mrs KriKe found the "now you know where it is, it is obvious" hiding spot.
 
25-May-06
Spotted by Gum-Nut quickly. Just as well as others would have focused on the tribute to Happy Days. Signed log and left happily, having claimed our smallest cache yet.
 
07-May-06
Not the best of days to go-a-huntin' but we did anyway.
Anne found this no problems. Must have been the expert tuition.
Log is a bit wet but not too bad. Did not see Ritchy anywhere either so continued on to the Red Cliffs.
I used to play tennis here as a kid. Brought back a few memories.
Regards,
Gaz

Our first micro...good fun and found by the newest member of the team JAS.
 
14-Apr-06
We scratched our heads for ages trying to fathom the connection between this and “Happy Days†until we read the plaque. That’s a bit of a reach, don’t you think? Big Grin. Knowing we were looking for a well-concealed micro and having no idea what a ‘Bison Tube†was, this one nearly stumped us until I did something I hardly ever do – think outside the square [^]. Loved Freddo’s $10 frog. I wonder what the bank will think of that? Big Grin
 
14-Apr-06
Now I know what a bison tube is too. I was given no more than 5 minutes by the 'are we there yet?' team and made it with a few minutes to spare.
 
26-Mar-06
Sallymander was asking what a bison tube was. Thomas the tadlet was reading a book. James the newt was playing on the artefact. Freddo was poking around and looking for a little hiding spot. Alice the amphibian said what’s this? Success in under five minutes. Even managed to leave a $10 frog. Thanks guys.
