Santa Klutz Orchard, , Singapore
By IndianaJanes on 24-Dec-05. Waypoint GCRPPD

dropped turtle tb. sorry it took so long

Found it, but this was a though one, since the coordinates are far of so is the position on the map. Spoiler pic and geotrail lead me to it in the end. Removed the travelling spider to release it in a less christmasy environment. Tftc!

Quick grab while staying in the area. The Cadillac Hearse had a ride around the lot too. TFTH

Find #200! This took two visits to find this one between appointments with a nearby tailor, mainly because I didn't have access to the spoiler pic. GPS reception was shocking. I found lots of great cache hiding spots nearby, but eventually found the right one. Took TB, left my 200 finds path tag TB.

We did this cache after our Singapore event where we met some lovely cachers AND the owners of this cache!
What a joy to meet fellow cachers from a different country. It was lovely to meet Indiana Janes and hear their stories.
Thanks for this cache, another great find!

Santa's back in business. Hint doesn't apply anymore though! Happy hunting

Found in the company of dustyc09, Maria and my 2 caching mates from Australia after attending our event nearby......where we also met the owners of the cache.

Took a few minutes to locate, however all was good and the cache was soon in hand. Log was signed, cache replaced and we all went on our way.

Thanks for the fun............

Looks like the cache is gone. Will replace ASAP. Watch this space

An average tradi in CBD.

thanks for the cache and regards from the capital of Lower Saxony - Hannover

after visiting (guess where we came from as brave tourists) ... we took a little look to this one

Gosh it was hot! Took awhile to locate with two keen Filipino muggles in tow. Was too small a container for our already small present. TFTC !!

Walked around and around before spotting elephant tracks leading to the cache. Found with Old Boots. Last cache find in Singapore this trip. TFTC

Dropped off a TB.

Found on our last day in Singapore, I too started on the wrong side.
I think the final GPS reading was out by about 20 metres.

At first I had problems at this cache, as I approached it from the wrong side of the "jungle". It is very difficult getting a good fix on the GPS around here, but eventually I worked out where it was. A good hide, should be safe here. Took Dedeuche TB, LN. TFTC!

Phew - found this. Was just on the edge of giving up, when spotted a well trod trail, trotted down it and went "aha!, that is where I would put a cache!". The GPSr was having a hard time, flipping across the walk way and then pointing well off the real GZ. Lots of muggles, so lots of down time between being able to search. But, makes it all the more worthwhile when you grab that cache!

Cache is in good shape, safe and sound in its little hiding place. TFTC, SL, picked up Tasmanian Devil TB.

[iPhone gps was not helping me much although I was on the right path. A look at the photos gave me enough clues to] spot the track to the tree. [Left TB Devils in Danger. TNSL.]

Ho ho ho - GPS signal was good and took me straight to it.
Took dummy TB, left Och aye the noo TB
TFTC

after some time of searching, found it.

Greetings and thank from germany

Had to do a cover up stealth approach as there where a few muggels around, re-hid the cache from the lower level.
Took the horse TB

This was our first cache find in Singapore while we were visiting for a couple of days. It was a very rushed trip but we managed to squeeze in about half an hour near the end of the day to find this cache which was only a short walk from our hotel. The GPS signal was bouncing everywhere so it took us quite a while to locate GZ, and then there were also passing muggles to contend with. Using a bit of cacher's instinct, we located a likely hiding spot even though our GPS had given up. It was a fast cache retrieval, didn't hang around long enough to notice any ants. Left a TB and took some geocoins with us. Didn't exactly want to linger long at the cache location because of the creepy crawlies, not to mention the high muggle frequency. From here, we headed to Coffee Bean for a celebratory drink. TFTC.

Last cache for the year, and my first in Singapore. Nice and close to the hotel. Very poor GPS signal in the geozone, so glad I checked the spoiler photo. A bit of a track has formed. A fair bit of rubbish around cache. Took a bit out, but plenty to go. Lots of goodies, but TNLN. TFTC

FOUND SANTAS TOYS. NONE OF THE PRESENTS WERE WRAP THOUGH. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

TFTC! Placed TB Jasmin Sophias Birth; took Australian stickers. Lost satellite, but Little Lion used "geocaching" background to figure it out.

Great cache as and as we found it on Christmas day quite ironic too... left eyes and aust/Singapore tie pin and tb.

We have contacted 44TheShow who said they have Hippie Bio-fuel Burner geocoin.

Easy Found it with the spolier pic. : )
TFTC : )

Found on a late afternoon shopping spree on Orchard Road. No photo to help but clue did. Took Tennessee micro coin and left Geocaching Australia Pathtag. Thanks for the cache and the hunt.

Not FTF but first to log on the new logbook. LOL.
Nice path here.
TFTC!

Orchard Road is all decked up and so are we!!!
New box, new logbook, new pen, TB!
Merry Christmas Geocaching!!!

This cache is soaked and needs to be dried out. (Your pen no longer works either due to being soaked.)

Also, please remove the "Hippie Bio-fuel Burner" TB from this cache page as it is no longer in the cache.

11/8/2009 00:01 Found: Wow, lots of muggles to avoid. Even had to dodge two cooks out clipping something in the nearby garden into a bowl. Now that's what I call fresh food!

This container is soaked. I am requesting maintenance on this cache.

TFTC!
IN: Fox & the Hound Geo-coin
Out: Nothing.
No other TB's were in this cache.

Uh-oh , Santa's gift just wasn't made to withstand equatorial thunderstorms. Taking this down until his elves can replace it with a more waterproof gift box.

Santa's elves are building some amazing displays close by. Had to have two goes at this because of the very consciencious staff member sweeping up all the leaves - he was taking a very long time. Log book very damp. The last of some very enjoyable caching in Singapore with several of them belonging to you - thanks so much. I had planned to do more but the torrential rain for a few hours today curtailed that. TFTC #886

See log for October 3 - cache log is beyond use and contents are all WET. Cache is no longer water proof.

0900hr
Our third go at this one - too many muggles around on each of the previous visits. Finally got a chance to sneak in and have a good look.
Bingo - our first find in Singapore.
Sorry it's taken a while to log the visit but didn't have any internet access on holidays so had to wait until we returned home.
Logbook and cache contents are not damp anymore - they're WET and in need of repair.
ARRIVED : Western Magnet TB (already grabbed by another cacher who arrived in the few days since my visit and took it upon themselves to grab it and log the move it on)
DEPARTED : Elephant TB
Other TB - Hippie Bio Fuel TB is not in the cache.
Thanks for the cache and hunt, Indiana Jones.

This was an easy one for me. I lost my GPS signal about 200m before but in the far I saw a person waiting and watching into the green . Just as I reached her a second person appears out of the green with the box in his hands. And what else I found 10000km away from home ... another german cacher .

Quick and easy find while out with Link during our port visit here. Buildings gave my GPS a run for its money but it generally kept us going in the right direction. TFTC!

**edited log after returning home**

Visited the cache during a cruise on the Diamond Princess.

The cache was easy to find and the concealment from the passing crowd was a help.

I dropped in my Aussie Geocoin to get it moving and retreived Wilbur the wombat to take him to visit his relatives in Australia.

Thanks for putting an accessible cache in a foreign land.

Logbook replaced and a new pen put in.

have been solving geocaches locations for a while but never got down to logging it online. I'm glad that I made this my first online log. Not hard to find if you know where to look!

Logbook is damp like many other caches in humid SG (but can still be written on). Some exchange items in the box are getting mouldy. IJ or next person who finds it might wanna make an active decision to throw out or keep those mouldy items...

Thanks IJ for the cache!

Out: TB

Only a few 100 meter away from the hotel, but the GPS took us for a walk.....The cache log needs to be replace it's all of mildew. TNLN TFTH SL

Without the guiding picture this would be a major cleanup operation to locate the cache! Log book is wet but manage to sign in. Again TFTC IndianaJanes.

B-Team return visit to an old favourite to drop off some TBs wanting to visit Singapore.

Hi,

For the second time in Singapore and this time a little time to spend searching for caches. Reception was poor but after look close to a few trees we could locate the cache.

TFTC.

Cheers,

I spent quite a bit of time looking for this one when I was last in Singapore back in September 2007. Apparently it had been muggled that time. Went back today and found it in about 30 seconds when the coast was clear of muggles. Thanks Indiana Jones for the nice easy find.

Whilst on a business trip in Singapore and with my hotel just being 400 m away searching for Santa Klutz was a must. Was somewhat rainy and a somewhat longer approach - as I am not a crow - but finally I found the cache ... thanks to the spoiler photo. My coords have been a little bit off.
What I didn't find were TBs or Geocoins. Would have liked to bring them to Europe but I may have been blind this day.
Thanks very much IndianaJanes for this nice cache which adds one more to my Singapore results.
No trade.

B-Team find while on a short visit to Singapore. Despite the inventory listing, I managed only to find the Diabetes GC in the cache, which has now been moved to Australia. Other treasures are presumed to be MIA. Several approaches from a variety of angles were required to locate the cache as the GPSr required some extra coaxing to get a reliable fix. Took GC, left hitch-hiker. Good Luck!

My first find in Singapore on a stopover from India to Australia. Very strange, a muggle sweeping the path near the cache made himself scarce while I searched. Did he know of my mission and target?

I love caches that get me off the main streets and let me explore areas and streets I might never have traveled. Getting in and out of here the GPS led me down some great back streets.

Left an Australia pin for a future finder

Thanks for the cache, and thanks also to all those who contributed to MalSingMaps for my great visit to Singapore.

Visiting 8KT Travel Bug from Lakhang Cache in Bhutan, headed for Australia via Assam & Singapore.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Fairly straight forward search only impeded by numerous passing muggles.

Took Japan 2006 geocoin
Left Byfleet Traveller 2 TB

I felt rather conspicuous, looking for this cache mid-day. My GPS had me looking in lots of places, but I persevered and eventually found it. TN/LN/SL.

Three of my favourite things come together for this one. Travelling, Hard Rock Cafes and Geocaching !! I was staying nearby (not the Four Seasons though) and visited the HRC so being able to pick up my first Cache outside of Australia was a big bonus. Cache Number 37 / OS Cache Number 1.

TNLNSL.

TFTC !!

Cheers (Ho Ho Ho...)

Had two goes at this one and couldnt find it. The second time we spent almost 40 minutes searching everywhere. Even using the spoiler photo the cache is not to be found. Either it is very well hidden or I would say it has been muggled. Thanks anyway.

At last! I found a cache in Singapore! This was 'first cab off the rank' this morning. This time my GPSr took me right to the correct place. I checked the spoiler pic, just in case, and it confirmed it. I found the cache at 1000. I didn't see any presents wrapped up in gift paper. My thanks to IndianaJanes for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Another miserable night in Singapore. Two tries and two failures. This was the second one. As usual, GPS signals were hard to come by. I had the same problem earlier at "Shaken, Not Stirred". I decided to have a go anyway. I didn't have the spoiler photos, so I didn't know what to look for. I decrypted the hint, and checked some likely places, but couldn't find the cache. The GPSr had me wandering all over the place, and ended up insisting that the cache was in the Four Seasons Hotel. I'd had a gutful by that time, so I decided to call it a night. this is the closest cache to my hotel, so I'll probably have another go before I leave. Next time I'll be armed with the spoiler photo.

This cache is the closest to my hotel and the first cache I found on my first geocaching mission to Singapore! My flight arrived at 5am and I had to sit on that path waiting until dawn at 7:15am! Nonetheless it was a good time to grab it as I can imagine the muggle factor would get worse as the day went on.

12:01 First cache for us back in this great city "Singapore". This took a while to locate, with all the tree cover and the passing muggles. But in the end we spotted a place that we would have hidden a cache, and there it was . Thanks for the cache, hopefully see you at the event tomorrow.

Took: Dash the Dog TB
Left: Paula Panda Bear TB

The Archie TB was still in the cache, but we couldn't help with his mission sorry.

This area was deserted which was a surprise for Singapore, after a bit of a wander with stray GPS signals I tagged the prize. Didn't have a present but if Santa could help the Spooner TB in its race to Wales that would be good. Thanks IndianaJanes

Second cache of two found this time. This path is busy, really busy. Took a break and sat out for a while and wrote up the log. Let The Travelling Clog have a brief rest but have taken it with me again to Japan. TFTC it was well placed and quickly found. I do not know what is up with my searching here in Singapore I have found big spiders and lots of debris but no caches. Off to Japan now. Will be back soon to have another go.
