Anchors Away Wights Mountain, Queensland, Australia
By findalot on 10-Jul-06. Waypoint GCX2N0

It appears that 2 council workers walked up the bridle trail last Thursday morning, and took the cache, the anchor and all the fishing line. [:(!]
They did leave the 2 rings that guided the fishing line.

I don't know why they took it, I wish they had read the Geocaching covering letter that was inside the cache.

Luckily no TB's were inside the cache.

It seems to me that a replacement cache is a waste of time,
as I believe it won't last long.

Oh well, fun while it lasted.

PS....If the council workers read this, can I have my container and my triangular "anchor" returned please.
Drop it off at the letterbox of #14, right beside the bridle trail....Thanks

Found this enjoyable cache. TNLN. Great idea!

Great! Took, "Medabots" Left Squishy frog. Found Citrix Rocks Travel Bug will move on ASAP. Thanks

Well done findalot,Thats a very novel setup that we enjoyed finding. SL and Swapped TB's. TFTC

Found TB The Movie Maker in the cache while doing a maintenance check.

This was our favourite find on Geo-Thursday. Great idea for a cache.

findalot you are the best, Geo kids loved the cache very unique.

Found it at 1602 hours.

Took: Photo Frame
Left: Hot Wheels Car

Nice easy find. The geokid loved it.

Rolling on the floor laughing - again! Samford seems to do that to me, in terms of caches. Once the rider had ridden past we were able to get the cache without any trouble. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks! ='.'=

This was worth a bit of a chuckle. Yet another creative cache. Had to wait for the horse and rider to amble out of sight though. Thanks again findalot.

Checked on cache contents today and noticed that the Movie Maker TB is not there. There is an undated log saying Alana & Meg took the TB to a cache at Mt Mee.
I don't think it has been logged at GC at either end.
I hope it turns up somewhere.

This one put a smile on my face. Also seemed that the local dogs also come and keep an eye on the cache.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Our eleventh find today. Found in company with Xixau and Shenzi and we set a new daily record of 36 cache finds.

What a clever well thought out cache this one was. Again it gave Jerry a photo moment after having done this one earlier. At first we commented on the beautiful spiders web between the trees before discovering what it really was!!!

Found with Brownes. Ta for the cache.

Ingenious hiding spot, but would recommend string be better camouflaged. Found with basline benny.

Hey, this is really something special...we loved it!

And we had the place to ourselves except for the really friendly dog in the yard next door.

This is a *recommended* cache for sure.
I couldn't believe the ingenuity that went into hiding this cache and I was overjoyed when I found the first item and the second hove into view.
Took nothing, left balll
Thanks findalot, this certainly made my *Overall Experience: 4* today and a great sized cache container too.

Dropped off TB.

Found By Sunshine Toledo at 12:20pm. What a brilliant idea. It works well. It was fantastic here today as there was nobody about and very quiet except for some dogs barking far in the distance. What a great place as I had it all to myself. In: orange yoyo Out: TB blue car & TB Hedgehog. TFTC

What a top idea for a cache, well done. T Geocoin, L container.

Took TB Patches to move it on. Dropped it into Smithy at Bne airport, in the hope it moves interstate or overseas.

Patches received an Aussie flag for Christmas '06.

Dropped off TB Sam's Turtle, a new arrival into Australia.

Kids loved the idea of a suspended cache.
Out: Pig nose & twisty keyring
In: Metabot game & 1 singaporean dollar. There's now $101 in there!

I was in a hurry to deposit "Patches" into this cache after retrieving the bug and bringing it to Australia.
I would appreciate the next owner/s to include an Aussie cloth badge and then send "Patches" on it's way.

While Patches was hangin' around in Anchors Away, it received an Aussie flag for Christmas.

The "Anchor" requires a new chain.
This cache will be available ASAP.

Dropped in to grab the Geocoin

Dropped off "Luxembourg Geocoin"

Great fun. I did not have the benefit of reading the notes beforehand, so was an interesting experience.

Thanks for the originality.

Jerry.

Came out this way for a drive today. Its been raining all day, and its amazing how green the Samford area is, despite the fact that we are in a drought.
As we walk towards GZ I spotted where the cache was, but Bindy went and found the anchor so we could retrieve the cache....very clever idea, but I was puzzled on how to open the container until I turned it around and found the cutout....
Found with Bindy & Homer and my 3yo son.

Found with vwnuts
I love this idea for a cache, its nice to see some imagination go into a cache hide [^]. Found the anchor and lowered the cache to the ground.
Took Toronto geocoin
left nothing.
Thanx for a terrific cache

We loved the area and the cache. Actually geowife is still chuckling. We came here from Rorabing and enjoyed discovering your part of the world.
Many thanks!

Dropped off "Jake"s" Toronto 06 Geocoin.
Let's take it on a tour of Australia!

An hilarious little cache chase was had this morning out Wight's mountain way
It wasn't too long into the search that the anchor was found. Heavy aint it [:o]
I couldn't help chuckling as I looked off in the distance and witnessed the cache levitating to earth
The location doesn't lend itself to 'stealth attacks' however, so I suggest that a more brazen approach be adopted and just make it look like each member of the caching team is leading an invisible horse along the trail

A great fun cache! The GeoKid loved it. (So did the GeoDad )

We left a horse and took a keyring. SL. Thanks for the cache!

Found Ok
Good idea

16:30hrs Fantastic cache. The mechanism was spotted before I fuond anything. A great idea I hope it lasts. TFTC.

well done did spot it before finding the device

Great idea - big chuckles - best yet - TNLN, SL

aaaargh! i to was marvelin' at the concept and got muggled by a couple of girls on ponys,but a'vast they already knew about it,phew!tnlnsl,tftc.

This is a classic. Very clever construction. I became so involved in the experience that I did not realise the muggle neighbour was walking down the driveway beside the cache.

I hope they know about the cache because the person could not have missed be sitting down at GZ reading the logs.

No need to worry about the neighbours either side of the bridle trail, they are all party to the cache.
So relax and enjoy the cache.

This was as clever as 'Rovering'. I can't decide if I like one more than the other. Fabulous idea. We enjoyed this novel cache immensely.
Signed the log and left Cassie the Bug TB.
Took the commerative geocoin.

Found with Geo-uncle Lat&long junkie. Love the concept of this cache. Had been looking forward to it all day. Was not disappointed by it.

Didn't have time for a real walk as the sun was setting fast. Thanks for making the day the most fun I've had finding caches in Queensland findalot!

Will hang on to TB and move it down the coast when I head back to SA soon.

Found with geonanna at 11.15am. I loved the idea it was a lot of fun! TNLN TFTC

A friendly dog next door welcomed us and watched while we uncovered the cache, amid much mirth! Thanks findalot for a most enjoyable find. TNLN.

Found whilst out caching with Clip Clop (a newbie)

What a great cache. Really enjoyed this one.

Out caching with Wingaap....learning the ropes

Great hide!! Took a while to find because of the GPS not liking the trees.

Took out small bag
Put in badge

Checked cache today. Everything OK. Dropped off TB scuba T.

A very innovative cache. We had great fun with this one. K8 was concerned that the boat would float away if attached to that anchor. Out: penguin stamp. In: I can't remember, as we tried hurriedly to replace the cache as a muggle approached (not an easy cache to return or conceal inconspicuously). Turned out muggle was a party to the cache anyway. Thanks.

Found it at 11:30 this morning.

Fantastically creative cache, very much enjoyed by all the family.

Took pencils, left water pistol and travel bug (geocoin - #18438)

Thanks for the cache.

A marvellous cache - we loved it... especially because we didn't read the notes on the cache before we arrived and we taken completely by surprise. Great job !

Swapped Tinkerbell whistle for a squishy spider.

Thanks to findalot for the cache.

What a great cache idea! We absolutely loved it. We had no trouble finding the cache, the anchor, or retrieving it.

Well executed!!!

We took the star wars game and put in a puzzle, a sticky creature and a bracelet.
