Please confirm cache is still there - after talking to a previous finder it looks like it's gone Sad

No luck for me too. Sad Thanks for the hunt.
 
01-Aug-11
Found the information at the published co-ordinates quite easily, did the maths, then off to GZ. Had a good search but couldn't find anything Sad Is the cache still there?

Admitted DNF for me...

Looked at this one a while ago but was thwarted by muggles at GZ, passing nearby thought we would give this another go, muggle free found in the likely place but suspect repairs to GZ will be taking place soon considering the damage at the location, cache is in great condition Took GC, thanks for a interesting but challenging multi TFTC

Had a brief look at this several weeks ago, having no idea what to do [xx(].
Came back a week later (after some research), but were thwarted by a whipper snippering muggle [B)].
Were in the area again today with several bits of equipment and came up with the goods using the third (just goes to show perseverance pays off) Big Grin.
Took into account the extra shift mentioned in the logs [8] and made the find straight away.
Took coin. Left Benchmark GC. SL.
Thanks ds-fifty for something different Cool.

One of our cache finds with visiting geocaching team from Darwin, Gibbo003. An enjoyable cache and an enjoyable though wet day out in the hills. Thanks ds-fifty-this one had us going but after a false start we realized the error of our way and made the necessary adjustment to find the cache in the most likely position.
 
01-Dec-10
After being picked up by Liz and Bruce we headed straight to this interesting cache. Hint to the cache was found and we then drove to GZ. Nice view from GZ and a easy find in the end. Thanks ds-fifty for the cache and the hunt.

Wow, 17 months since this was last found.

Took an assortment of equipment with us for this. Must have looked funny walking around the street with a PSP. And it did take a bit of walking around but the message finally sunk in. Feeling smug with ourselves we went off to the GZ only to have it over 100m into someone's property. Doh!!!! Reassessed our options and then actually followed the instructions as they were written. Went a bit sheepishly to the new GZ and soon had this poor neglected cache in hand.

Had to use the back cover of the log book as it was full and needs a new one.

21-Jun-09
Found several numbers at eye level from centre of road but none of the combinations put us in a cache location, maybe next time after a hint or two TFTC
 
18-May-08
Found at 17:10. We were heading home and made this the last "just one more", as we both had been meaning to get to this one. Got the offset before Winterdragon had stopped the car, and made our way to the new coordinates. Mine were out by 40m, but we quickly realised where the cache would be.
Thanks DS50 for a great concept.
 
18-May-08
Out caching with Team Unicycle, and loaded up with suitable tech, so decided to finally get around to doing this one - been meaning to try it for a long time Smile. Came up with the offset quickly, and made the short drive to GZ. I'm not sure what the first hint means... but where our calculated coordinates were out by about 30m. We searched around for a short while, then decided that if we were going to place a cache here, the obvious place would be about 30m to the East. And there it was!

TNLN - Thanks DS-50!
 
03-Nov-07
Found at last! Checked our coords with ds-fifty and found we had worked them out correctly. GPS still had us about 30m from the cache today, but with a hint from ds-fifty we had a pretty good idea of where it was. Must have been sooo close last visit. Everything was green and lush today after all the rains.
Thanks for an interesting cache ds-fifty. TB Mystery Geocacher 55 visited, but there wasn't enough room for him in the cache so he will travel further afield.
 
26-Aug-07
Drove around, looked around, ah ha! That was better reception. Drove to the second part. Saw the view, looked everywhere but couldn't find the cache. We'll have to come back another day when people aren't out in their front yards! Don't know what the neighbours thought, but got a few good macros of some native flowers though...
 
18-Aug-07
We would have had no chance finding this if we hadn't found ds-fifty first.. Thanks for the help Smile
 
18-Aug-07
This was the cache of the year for us 4, Master Darko, The Batgirls and The Hedge.

We met up with The Batgirls just prior to this cache so full of confidence, armed with 2 GPSr (none with Wi-Fi!) we went to do this cache!

Eye level search revealed a lot...not! Next thing I see is ds-fifty, driving right past us. WOW! ds to the rescue it was!

After witnessing a maintenance on the spot on the cache, we were off to sign the log! Happy days after that!
 
16-Jun-07
A short stroll around the neighbourhood and I soon got the information I sought Big Grin
A short drive later and I soon had the cache I sought too Big Grin
All safe and secure Big Grin
 
02-May-07
Found 18:30. Borrowed the necessary equipment from Mr Chizbeki. While Mrs E and all 3 kids were at netball training, and Mr E had just finished the weekly shops nearby and was on the way home decided to pick up this cache. Another closest to home completed Big Grin. TNLNSL. TFTC.
 
29-Apr-07
The rain wasnt effecting the signal thankfully today, as within a minute of pulling up, i had the info in hand (or should i say on screen)

moved off to GZ, for a straightforward find

Finally got to put this cache to bed tonightRazzLuckily this cache is the closest one to home as it took 3 trips to wp1 before it was muggle free,Smile then 2 goes at getting reception. The first daylight try at GZ coincided with muggle neighbourTwisted returning home whom waited and waited for me to leave before entering their driveway.Red Face Ok return other time at night and bingo same muggle neighbour[:(!] drives out of drive and stops thereSurprised till I leave again. Third time in third different car GOT ITBig Grin

With the help of Freddos PDA, I was on my way to the final location.

eleventh of seventeen cache finds on day three of the "The Big Adelaide Assault" the cache was found at 14:55 in company with dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords. After our huge day out we decided to take in the scenery and have a lazy days caching. We new from the name of the cache what this was probably going to involve and once we found WPT1 we were correct. We did the calculations and headed to what we thought to be GZ after some time I realized that we could not see what we should be seeing and moved to the most obvious object where the cache was soon found. This was the first time I have seen this type of cache and loved the concept.

Thanks ds-fifty for the cache.

[Eleventh of 17 finds on the day after "The Big Adelaide Assault" in company with acts2youthgroup and HawMorFords. HMF found the information required at WP1, and we employed our devices. Initially, we got nil response from our SmartPhone or PDA. Acts2YG retired to the car for his laptop, and then all three of us received what we wanted. As it says in the cache description, "Don't get put off if you get a bad reception initially." Now we had the (alleged) final coordinates. We searched around, to no avail. Acts2YG decided to search in another 'obvious' place, and found the cache 29m from GZ! We took a reading at GZ with all three GPSRs. So, if you are having trouble finding it:] add zero point zero one eight to the longitude. [We found this one at 1455. Great concept for a cache. [^] I made no exchange. Thanks to ds-fifty for the cache. Cheers, dak.]

The eleventh of seventeen finds on day three of The Big Adelaide Adventure in the company of dak's Emu Mob and acts2youthgroup.

With our 'Big Day Out' and a bit of sleep behind us, we decided to take a drive into the Adelaide Hills to pick up a few more rural geocaches.

We figured we knew what this cache may involve by the title but we weren't absolutely sure just how it would work.

Most impressed at WP1!!!

We did the calculations and went for a drive to GZ. We looked for ages in all the wrong places before someone reread the cache page.... ah hah. We found the cache about 30 metres from where we had been looking... perhaps we miscalculated something or the coords need a little tweek.

Thanks to ds-fifty for the cache.

All systems are go, no down time or faults logged. If at first... WinkCoolWink
 
10-Feb-07
pulled up at GZ and knew what i had to do, but there wasnt anything in the airwaves to tell me

 
01-Feb-07
Found the clue at WP1 ages ago but didn't have the necessary equipment. A chance meeting with someone in the know dropped a subtle hint that had me thinking. Mmmmmmm, quite a few places fit THAT description..... Pulled up tentatively at a likely spot (didn't bother with the GPSr), and lo and behold, found the cache! Still pondering the odds! Thanks for the cache ds-fifty.

Found with Skippy and SA Parrothead (and my brother who was along for the ride!). Took a while to find what we were looking for at the first location, but standing on the rear bumper of the skipmobile helped.
Thanks ds-fifty
 
05-Dec-06
Very clever.
A lot easier to do once Skippy removed his device from it's protective coating. A bit like superman and kyrptanite. Once we got rid of the problem we were flying.
Great view at night watching the cars whiz by.
Swapped a chain for a glonk.

 
05-Dec-06
My second time here, I found I had to remove the Metal Cover to get a signal.
Then we found GZ was out by 16 metres, it must have been those trees

TNLN
Thanks ds-50
 
04-Dec-06
Found after a little hint from Four-Fun. The coords for GZ where a little out.

Wasn't sure whether to carry in or carry out with this cache. It turns out we did the right thing in the first place (well close enough to the right thing).

Hard find with a little help from ds-fifty. Found at night. Walked there but had a ride back!
 
01-Nov-06
we now return you to our regularly scheduled caching.

I decided to have a guess at GZ as I was unable to confirm the co-ords.

As I was looking around the muggle house owner from across the way came out to enquire as to what I may be doing. After reassuring him that I was ok, I moved on as I was not even sure I was near GZ.

I rang the DS-Fifty help line and got the return call to confirm that I was indeed on the right track. I returned and had the cache in hand before the muggle saw me again. Smile
 
31-Oct-06
Alas without the right equipment, was impossible to locate gz! Forewarned is forearmed I guess!
 
30-Oct-06
My caching bag is getting really heavy with all the gear I've been carying around recently. Thankfully some of it finally came in useful on this cache Smile
GZ was out by about the same as Posspet's when I found the cache but by the time I had finished logging etc it was spot on!!
-Light, + Keychain
Cheers, thanks for another unique cache ds-fifty.
 
30-Oct-06
At 1230 in the morning there was nothing much to see here tonight. I did see a fox running up the road at WP1 and also another at GZ though.
GZ had me about 10m out tonight but I looked in a suitable spot and there it was.
Cheers

Nice one Mr DS. Impressive radius. Now that’s one less bit of the spectrum for our friend Mr Zytheran to claim! [^]. Left an Angel.
Clear skies today, TeamAstro.

Found WP1 No Problem, that is where my trouble started.

I am experiancing technical difficulties,
I will return to my regularly scheduled caching as
soon as the problem has been rectified.
Please Stand - By

Grr I hate technology..... [:(!]

Should never have done this one as we were due at dinner. But such is the lure of a FTF that we had to try. Big Grin The stark reality though was that if it wasn't for a chance meeting of dsfifty's oldest son seeing us (not that he knew what was going on) and then dsfifty shouting off his balcony at us we would never have made it Red FaceRed FaceRed FaceIts a very unique cache thats for certain... to be expected from the man who brought us "the night has 1000 eyes." cheers for the cache. Took: TB froggy, left marble and SL. found 6.55pm.

One TB to start.
Credit too goes to Astro for his input in to this cache. (though his find will be genuine as he's really got no idea!)
