I think after so many DNf's and lack of recent activity by the CO, this cache needs to be archived or at very least some attention from the CO

So this one bites the dust.

Perhaps in the spirit of caching next time someone might decide to have a friendly chat with the cache owner rather than simply report it.

Do yourself a favour don't be a douchebag.

Was hoping to grab a quick drive by on the way home from work but it proved harder than anticipated. GPS was way out so just looked where i thought was most likely but gave up when it hit 1am I shall return soon. TFTH

[l)] Searched extensively but could not find. This one has got to be missing.

Have searched extensively and not found it yet!

I'd say this one is gone.

Couldn't find it

Someone seems to have taken/moved the cache because it's not where it should be. Thought all potential cachers

It's not where it should be...

Was up here with family at the club nearby so I ducked out to see if I could grab this one phone was all over but I checked the obvious place but probably didn't look hard enough as I only had 2 min at GZ with muggles overlooking didn't want to compromise cache. TFTC

Found it subidubiduuu. Greetings from HUNGARY
Köszönöm a rejtést !

Tricky but I found it. Lots of people didn't make it easier.

We were on the main street trying to find a way to get to the cache when a helpful pedestrian took us the a walkway between buildings. There was one likely hiding spot. I climbed under and made a visual inspection of every square inch. Nothing. Then the one spot I could not see, I put my hand under at felt everywhere. Again, nothing. Hey, it was a nice day and maybe it was out for a walk. Its a "Didn't find it" for me. Springwood is a beautiful town. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

Yay. Found it second try. TFTC. We are having so much fun.

Will go back and look again another day.

Got it in the end

Thanks mandaj. Easy find especially after seeing the pics attached.

Ended up going arround the wrong way at first, then sorted out the path necessary. Duties done..Now for some Pizza YUM TFTC

Quick find, TFTC

After we found the cache, with some helpful hints from WaywardWoman and bikerbuddy, we found the log callously stuffed into the cache and the cache half open. We realise what the previous logs meant by muggled often. Then we signed and fixed the log. Disappointing to see this happening to caches.
Nice sneaky spot

Found with bisygisy TFTC

The first time me and my geodaughter went to find this cache the Satellite Gods had decided to spite us and took us to Springwood Pizza on the main street. After reading pjmpjm's log and seeing the photo, we realised that the GPS had taken us to the wrong Pizza Place. How, we don't know.

TFTC found with azazzlenic

you

Here in Wollongong is actually a Subway wich is directly conected to a fitness centre. Better yet, if you eating your sandwich in the subway, there is a glass window so one can view the people working out in the gym!!

Nice hide, TFTC.

With JenJen41 and the kids. Our first cache, we were bouyed by running into mandaj in the street!

First Geocache for the family. Thought we'd try an 'easy' one in good terrain whilst working out the GPS. Bumping into the owner encouraged us to stay with caching. Found it pretty quickly. Log in good condition.

Team effort with my daughters.

Found this one with Phoebe red. Was harder than expected because we read too much into it. Thanks mandaj!

We took ages, I think we overthought this one a bit! Great to find it at last. Thank you Mandaj!

We wondered about the name of the the cache, but all became apparant at GZ - very amusing.
Thanks, Robmc.

11:50
Unlike the original explorers (B,W & L) our trio - Pprass, Robmc & Phetlern, arrived in the BM with maps and satellite support.
We were continually asking the question: How was the east west route opened up almost 200 years ago?
Once we got to the cache site we could certainly appreciate the conflict of direction the title of this cache alludes to.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt mandai.

Found at 11.55am GAFF5 in the company of Phetlern and Robmc. While doing a multi, we decided to detour and pick this interesting cache along the way. We even resisted going into the Turkish takeaway and grabbing some pide and kebabs - the aromas were wonderful!
Thanks mandaj.

Searched everywhere, but we found it in the first place we looked, only this time we looked properly. Thanks mandaj.

This one had me wandering back and forth and had me scratching my head. Then I thought somewhere more simple that the more difficult spots I was looking which shamefully for myself I found straight away. This took me way longer than it should have. I guess I should of settled for a kiss.... keep it simple stupid!!

Took 5 minutes

Found it pretty easy.

good hide

Thanks For The Cache mandaj
found this one with Booo Booo while going to visit my Dad
I think my big butt might have inspired nearby women in the gym to try harder

On my way into the Blue Mountains and enjoying some good caches on the way. Soon located this cache. SL TFTC

Nice and easy

Found this on a day of geocaching with team zawadzki and azone not sure what the exact date was TFTC

Good Cache TFTC

Quick find TfTc

The compass pointed me straight to the most obvious location, yet not a sign of it.

Nice little cache
Was an easy find
Knew where it would be before I got there.

had to use stealth for this one tftc

Really hard cache to do at this time of day. Muggles everywhere!!! But we managed to retrieve and replace the cache with a bit of creative thinking. SL, TFTC.

After a visit to the library to log my other cache finds for today and to view some ogs for this cache. I have been here to find this one many times over the last year but there seems to be a lot of muggles around and had trouble getting an exact GZ as my GPSr was placing the cache in the middle of the building and I see that others have had the same issue. Anyway after reading some of the logs I got a better idea as to where the micro is hidden. I was in the correct area on other occasions but failed to locate it but this time I saw it immediately. A few muggles went past and then I was able to nab the micro. Signed the log and was just about to put it back and more muggles came along so once they were gone I was able to put it back!! Thanks for such a challenging cache, I'm happy to have this one away.

Had to look for this one when the area was quiet as there are often lots of people around.A good hide!

Got it...yay!!!
Thanks madaj for the clue. Went straight there and it was easy to find. My GPS still had me 10 metres away at ground zero. I hadn't even started to look last time as I couldn't work out where to start looking. Thanks mandaj!

My gps was taking me everywhere this afternoon and the closest I could get was 9 metres away. It was like GZ was in the middle of the shops with no way in. I wasn't able to access the photos on my gps but I might need a clue for this one?

Muggles Muggles everywhere... well except on a wet old public holiday... found this one right where I expected with while teambooo watched on.

no muggles around today was too wet found with boo'sdad the we got pizza to warm us up foe lunch thanks

Quick easy find.

Looked twice before for this one. Third time lucky! TFTC

Came here a couple of times with no luck but when we saw it was replaced we had to come back.
Found straight away.
TFTC

Have been here before with no luck.
This time found quick.
TFTC

Good Stuff!, TFTC and getting it back in order. Found with another newbie late at night with low muggle risk.

Hi All,

Replaced this micro today.

Have fun. But this is the last time I will replace this one. So please use stealth when going for it.

Cheers
mandaj

I have contacted the owner who is going to try and get this one back up this weekend. Hold off trying to find it till they write a note, as it definitely is gone.

This one is definitely not there...spoke to another geocacher who informed us where to look & it was not where it was suppose to be...This one needs checked

Found the cache, but it had been washed away in the recent storms in the area. Needs maintainence, but I can still log it as found.

Visited this one with the last person to find it (Finders 4) and cache wasn't where it was meant to be. I think the CO needs to check on this one, it may have been muggled

Stopped off while driving past. DIdn't have any luck this time. We were running out of time so could not look into it more. Maybe another time.

Sent from my mobile device.

Me and son waited for a break in the rain to go and have a look for this one being sunday not many people around but still have to keep an eye out... we parked pretty much on it only new to this so was about a 10 min search but finally found it am sure i checked in the spot heaps of time before seeing it

The published coordinates took me straight to a commercial area in central Springwood, with plenty of parking available on a Saturday afternoon.

Fortunately, there were surprisingly few muggles about in this particular locale and I could search in peace. I did apparently startle one young woman as she emerged from the nearby ladies' facilities and nearly tripped over a grim-faced older gentleman scrutinising a certain metallic feature. I gave her my best smile and she passed on quickly.

Anyhow, leave the local electrical 'power box' alone because it's dangerous and because the cache ain't there!

You'll discover this one quickly because there are a limited number of metal surfaces at GZ! Just check 'em all . . .

Lots of fun! Thanks to mandaj for setting up a nice 'urban cache' for us in the Blue Mountains.

Our first find! After going into town to get dinner, we had no luck but didn't really put much time into it. Lots of muggles interupting. Decided to come back later and have a decent crack at it. This time, success! Signed book. Thanks for the cache. Had fun!

after more than 20 min being on the show with one muggle after the other arriving or leaving I quit. DNF.

Looked at all metal fixings in the vicinity after waiting for muggles to get on there way. Signed broken up log book, then waited again for rude interrupting muggles (how dare they), before we placed cache back.

Fit muggles, lov the music meow for now

My first find! We tried to get it earlier in the afternoon, but seemed to have hit the area at a peak hour. Came back later & had the place to ourselves.

This was our first find for the day, nice easy in a great location. SL. TFTC

Back in the area on a mission today. Needed a spot to lunch and this was the town. Quick and easy find, in and out in under 3 minutes.

TFTC

Found while doing a trip up the mountains - and your right no scenery or historical signifiicance - but an easy find TFTC

Back in January, at about 11.00 at night, geohusband did this as his first cache with the GPS. I finally got around to going and getting it today on Cheap Tuesday on our usual trip to Dominoes. The boys and I enjoyed this one even though the GPS put it some distance away. NickoHeap had the joy of grabbing it. TFTC

TFTC

Found pretty easily on the way to Dominos. Nice hide TFTC.[^]

Log book is falling apart but nice hide
TFTC SL

Found while out shopping. TFTC

Capellaman- Found today during stop for lunch, SL TFTC.

I did some furtive lurking yesterday, but since I didn't turn it up straight away I gave it a miss and returned today. Again I managed to pick peak hour at GZ so I occupied myself doing a few little tasks at my nearby parking spot and nabbed it during a lull.

An amusing little cache - just a bit too much cinnamon in the nose.
No, really, it was great! Of course, we parked in the wrong place, and had to walk a little bit, but it was good to see that the further we walked, the fewer muggles there were, until the area where we found the found the cache was deserted.
Loved it!

#101 - Nice quick easy cache with geoKids. TFTC

Finally tried this one again after the Mrs of Truja & Corell Amboshler attempted this some time last year but were frustratingly unsuccessful. Took Mr Corell Amboshler to locate this first and finally Mr Truja has found it too. Mrs is not impressed, but is glad that this one has bitten the dust
TFTC

Found this one after a lunch breach during a busy full day of caching. A nice easy find with no muggles about. Took a mini GC. TFTC.

Found on our way to Jenolan Caves. Poor reception over their meant this cache was the only one found during the day. Stopped here to grab a bite and have a drive through. Found after a five minute hunt, Iphone GPS had us wondering. TFTC

I don't know why I missed this one the first time around, oh well, this time it was a quick grab.
The log book is falling apart, thanks for the chance to add this one to my collection.

Found this one with no problems, very quiet there today, just had to wait a few minutes to put the cache back.
there was enough space to put my Aussie coin TB.
Thanks for a nice cache.

waited for the pizza delivery people to drive away before a quick look. TN Left battery. STOMA found this cache!

nice easy cache. so suprised to find a cache outside domminoes. a place i worked at for over a year. lots of muggles around

Took a drive up to springwood for a non caching break from the regatta centre but when my wife wanted to look at the shops I took the opertunity to duck off and grab this cache. Unfortunatly it was a quick find and I had to return to the shopping.

Thanks for getting me out of some of the shopping.

Was just looking at some caches and realised I had forgotten to log this on. First time for everything.

I was rather annoyed with myself when I did find this as it was a nice simple hide but effective.

SL TFTC logged 9/05/10

Copied in the wrong coords, oh well, I did try to work out where it might have been, but no luck today.

Checked cache whilst visiting nearby. Picked up cool microcoin,

Nice easy cache while we were in the area for lunch. Thanks for a nice pitstop

Well, the western woylies pretended to be a family waiting for a lift from the nearby carpark. The little woylies sniffed out the cache and we were done in no time. TFTC.
