Mission #1 North Brighton, South Australia, Australia
By JackHenry on 08-Dec-06. Waypoint GCZPM3

Time to go.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Main structure is no longer there.....

Cache camo has been removed for several months. There is no cache at this location. There is nothing at GZ.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Finally...
After passing this point maybe a hundred times since I solved it ages ago, I was finally in a position to stop, look, find and sign.

Thanks for the cache, JackHenry

Driving in the hills last night with SupaTurtle and Csaba!. Solved this one as we knew the code and a quick stop/find. Tra La laaa

Out with SupaOrange and Csaba! last night. Have solved this one and a cache was found. Turtle Out.

Have seen this code many times before. Time to teach the SupaKids how its done. Found with SupaOrange and SupaTurtle on our way back from a night cache in the hills. Thanks

Was caching in the area. Took a little time to find, but otherwise all in good shape, thanks!

Note the checker needs to be updated and link no longer works.

A nice little puzzle that brought us to a very busy spot in Adelaide. I was accompanied by the lovely micaparamedic who'd come to Adelaide to see me, and then late this arvo we started our drive to Victoria so that I could attend a number of events, have Christmas, spend time with friends and of course to do some caching!

micaparamedic put his hands on it first.

Thanks so much for the cache JackHenry!

Was in the neighbourhood, thought I'd find your cache.
Thanks JackHenry for putting it there.

This is one I solved a long time ago. And one where I have ridden my bike past GZ too many times to mention. One of the few disadvantages of Cachly however is that the corrected coordinate caches show up only when you search in the area of the posted coords. In this case they are far enough apart that I had kept forgetting it was there.
But not today.
I stopped and crossed over carefully and found it in the first spot I checked.

A small group of caches when a caching after a very enjoyable morning pi day event. Some did caches the hard way and some of them did them the easy way. This one was found after a hard climb around the hills. SL TFTC

Found with sir_spectre, and dragonshy. I knew the cipher straight away just had to change them into a set of co ords. quick find at gz

found it while out and about with sir_spectre and jacknor. I took one look at the cipher and straight away knew what it was. quick find at gz

Driving near the final of this one today we decided to make a quick grab before heading to our planned caching area for the day.
Found with sir_spectre.

Find 1156

A very busy location

A quick park and grab on the way past, although not as quick as I had wished. Took me a little longer to find as I mustn't have had my eyes open the first pass. TFTC 28/3/17, 3:48 pm

*Grabbing a cache or two to maintain my current streak*...

**Found en route to the G'day from WA Event** This one had been sitting in my GSAK for many months so It was good to finally 'tick' it off...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment JackHenry... Appreciate your efforts...

**Took**: *Nothing but photo's*
**Left**: *Nothing but foot prints*...
Stamped log...

**#9935**

solved this one a while ago but due to my database being temporary lost in a computer crash then not being entered into my gps, the finding part was delayed. Near gz my phone rings, its my boss. He ringing to see if I have broken down and need a lift, as he has just driven past me. As a result I forgot to date my log as I signed it ( left stamp in car ).

Decided that it was a lovely day for a drive in the hills as I had nothing else I needed to do, so what better way to spend the day than to go and find a few puzzle caches that I had solved.

By the end of the day I had driven 250 kilometres and went as far north as Mount Crawford forest and south to Meadows. I had an interesting day driving on some great back roads and seeing some amazing scenery.

This one was the first for the day as I had plotted my route before leaving home. [^]

The puzzle was quite easily solved after I found the correct info to decode the symbols (I am still working on #2 & #3 and have only just glanced at #4 )

Took a while to get to GZ but when I did the cache was found in the first place I looked. [^]

Thanks for the puzzle and cache JackHenry.

On the way home from a caching run in Murray Bridge and I remembered that this cache was hear. So I quickly pulled into the nearby parking and made my way to gz. A quick search of the area and the cache was in hand.

Stopped by with my little geo daughter, ended up carrying her across to time a break in the traffic.

Found with my dad whilst out driving around. Had to carry me across as there was way to many cars. Thanks

Found It!
After a similar puzzle in Estonia this one came out easily. Today I was going past GZ so I stopped and after waiting for a break in the torrential rain I ran over and quickly found the cache! But magnets like that would make Freddo jealous!
TFTC

Over ten months since last found, but this cache is in great condition. Wandered up to GZ after parking nearby late at night to avoid as many muggles as possible. I was surprised to find three plaques nearby that clearly mark things that no longer exist (a garden and a row of trees) but the rocks and bronze still remain, likely because no one knows they are here. I suspect they would be gone otherwise.

I admit I've looked at this one on and off for many years and always been stumped, but last week I found what I was looking for, and now I know more about the subject matter than I ever thought I would. Eventually I made it to GZ and after waiting briefly for a break in traffic, worked the very strong magnetic cache out. TFTC JackHenry!

The font used in this puzzle is now becoming quite familiar as it has been used in a number of puzzles. That led to a set of coordinates which were confirmed by Evince. Early this morning as we were heading up the Expressway to prune more of our son's and daughter-in-law's apple and pear trees on their block, we stopped to look for this cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks JackHenry for the puzzle and for the Mission series of puzzles.

Christmas night caching, good company, and a cache to go.
Mission accomplished!
tftc

Mission #1 accomplished!


This cache kept our run of 28 days of consecutive caching going. GD had only a short period of time to make a find today and this one had been held back as a safety cache in case we needed a quickie. We hadn't looked at these puzzles until a few weeks ago as we have been trying to clear up the ones closer to home. But we came across the "Mission" series by chance and luckily Missmoo's Mum is a fan of the relevant resource, so we made short work of this one. Still struggling with the rest


Super magnet on this one! I must admit I like these older puzzles when you don't know where you might end up (especially if it is close to home).


Thanks for the cache JackHenry

Was heading back from a fire in the Badlands in the middle of the night so a perfect time to grab this one. TFTC.

They say Adelaide is a small place.... Have to agree after reading Calumping Fours comment about ancestor.... My 3x Great Grandfather was the first manager of the building and another geocacher friend said his ancestor built it.... Small world!!!

Anyway, this was the chosen starting place for a day out with Doctor Owl. We grabbed this and left a car nearby.....interesting place to be a pedestrian. Grabbed a photo for the family tree, have been meaning to do so for some time so it can be ticked off the list....

Thanks for the cache, and the opportunity to stand where my 3GG used to spend his days......

Owl was waiting for Spidermonkey to arrive so they could start the day’s adventure, so time to duck across the road and grab a cache. Then the lady of the hour arrived for signing and photos. That’s one tough magnet and a very strange version of a gate!

Finally after all these years I can eliminate this cache from the GPSr.
Hate to think how many times I've been past over the years (not that I frequently go this way - but wished I was heading off on lots of travels)
Took a photo nearby for the Waypoint that is here and paused for a moment in memory of an early ancestor of mine who helped establish the building.
As I wasn't flying past I could also pause and enjoy the view of the city and out to sea too.
Must get around to getting another Mission as it's been many yeas since I found my first Mission out North.
TNLN, TFTC JackHenry

Cheers

Clare007 and I met up for a day out to do something unusual ....... geocache
By day's end I had locus cache'd 33 smileys and had 3 DNFs
All in all, a fun day out and some cool caches were found

Thankfully, I know many sci-fi lovers so in the end, for me, it was simply a case of traversing time and space to make a quick find here today.
Finally I can now say that I have a smiley for THAT cache which I had long known of but never been able to get before.

TNLN. SL. TFTC JackHenry

Locus & I were across the road finishing Team Wibble's cache.
A quick stroll across a busy road & soon had the cache in hand.
Mission achieved, thanks for the cache

My sister and Iworked this one out this morning and had to come and find it. What a great spot and cool container. I knew what I was looking at when I saw the description I do enjoy that show. Didn't choose the best time to collect this cache but it wasn't to bad, thought I was in trouble when a police car drove past but I hurried out of there ASAP. TFTC

Out with brisal5 clearing up a few of the puzzles we had solved, as there was little muggle activity at 11:45 on a Sunday night, we went for it. A quick final find.
Thanks

Out with Mogni doing some puzzle caches and anything in between. Heading home toward GOTH country and second last puzzle. Even at just before midnight on a Sunday night this is still busy. Quick find at GZ but I wonder how many people rang the police when they saw us HERE. Thanks JackHenry

Found on a day out while on holidays, Great day for caching , TFTC

Waiting for a chance to get this one. Went with the good old "bike maintenance" cover. TFTC JackHenry.

First link i found had the code i needed, solved within about a minute, can be lucky sometimes! I was going to head out this way so solved this puzzle but ended up being much closer to home. Saved it for a quick grab tonight, to fill in a spot on my calendar! TFTC, a good spot and an easy find.

My mission, if I choose to accept it, is to firstly figure out what those damn symbols mean. Not being much of a SciFi fan nothing came to mind quickly BUT being an avid TV watcher (sport mainly) you are bound to bump into something useful eventually.....eventually.

Felt a little exposed at GZ but whose gonna stop and ask you what you're up to. This recording will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Mission #1 complete. TFTC JackHenry.

I love a puzzle when I look at it and straight away know what to do. A quick solve (because Mr Tardis is a SciFi nerd) and off to GZ which I've been driving past since I begain caching. A very good spot indeed for a cache. SL. Thanks for the puzzle.

We were not planning on picking this one up today but, after failing in picking up some clues nearby, we decided to call in and make an attempt.

Lot's of passing muggles meant the GPSr was employed a a FPD (Fake Photographic Device)to enable the retrieve and return.

8212 Needed the Muggle Deception Techniques from our previous cache to deter the speeding muggles in order to complete this Mission… great historic location for a cache, aptly placed.

Many thanks for the puzzle and cache JackHenry
Greetings from New Zealand, Cheers YuGeo4.

Christmas Day........... figured no one would take any notice of a couple of lost souls "photographing" the nearby landmark!!! Now that is a strong magnet!! Thanks JackHenry for the challenge.

always wanted to put a cache here and wondered why there wasnt one here now i know why

Was out with a Bee and frog and we discussed the possibilities of putting a cache there...only to find one already there.. so signed the log.. but wont take credit for solving the puzzle .. so.. half a smilie!

Did not solve this one at all, was driving past a likely spot and wondered whether a cache could be put there and a previous finder at a event said there was already one there so we had a look and was rewarded with Mission #1, not the orthodox way of finding a cache but still a successful mission TFTC JackHenry, now we will have to solve the others the orthodox way

The Mission (Should I choose to accept it): Make an emergency dash to a client with Foreign currency General Ledger integrity issues.
The reward: another opportunity to drive past a couple of solved puzzle caches.

The mission was accomplished and the bonus caches were netted.
Thanks JackHenry!

Done my homework few months ago and came back to find it
Thanks for this challenge and cache

Have had this one sorted out for a while but don't ever seem to go past here.

Going camping this weekend with TWDG and Freddo and so while we waited for Freddo I took my opportunity.

TFTC

Solved this a long time ago, but today was the first opportunity we've had to stop .
Surprised at how long it's been, between finds here .
A very appropriate place for this to be [^]!
TN. Left boomerang. SL.
Thanks JackHenry.

Heading to Adelaide with Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan for a few days caching and to attend the first Pub lunch event for the year and this was the sixteenth for the day. We solved this puzzle quite awhile ago now but this was the first opportunity that we have had to stop and grab it.
Thanks JackHenry for the cache

Had this one worked out a while ago and had the chance to find it today. Quite exposed area with a lot of traffic going by. Pretended taking photos with my back to the traffic hiding the arm taking and then replacing the cache. Thanks JackHenry for the interesting puzzle.

It took a lot of staring before those symbols finally made sense and morphed into a set of coordinates.
I got quite a few curious stares while signing the log too... not many places to hide there!
Thanks JackHenry

Found in the early hours on the way home from work. How can somewhere be just so obvious and yet so unvisited.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys.

Find 948 My Way Without a GPS.
Another puzzle solved and another cache found.
There was A Lovely View at the listed coordinates and I can confirm it was wet.
Thanks to JackHenry for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere.

Been meaning to nail this one for a while, this was my second attempt and coming up trumps today

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

SEcond visit to GZ, this time I was the driver as the first time I couldn't find it!
But I think it has been missing in action for a while.

Cache is back in it's hidey hole. Replaced by dogtired (TWDG) & Freddo, whilst out for a leisurely cycle up to Crafers.

Found in the company of the White Dog Gang.

Happy Summer

Sort of tripped over this one, funny it's been on my to-do list for ages. Worked out the code ages ago & never have the sheet with me when going past.
Was lying on the ground looks like been muggled.
TFTC

dont bother with this one till owner puts it back. TWDG

I'm becoming increasingly familiar with this alphabet, not enough to decode things off by heart but pretty close! I dodged a bit of traffic to get to GZ but the location was fitting with the theme. A neat little hide too, simple but effective!

I didn't have as much luck with the rest of this series on my trip, but I hope they're all as fun to complete.

Thanks,

R - B

Everyone said PG was on Mission Impossible but they were wrong !
Loved this hide - another towards my Mega Milestone on my Urban Caching Blitz of Adelaide and suburbs with Skippy,EV and WD !
SL Thanks Jack Henry - haven't seen you in ages ! Love PG x

Quickly found, after some interesting calculations, and dodging of vehicles.

Found with Bek-theraccoon and Adeguy on a scouts night hike

Found at 5 am without coordinates and without a GPS, but with just an inkling after perusing the logs. Thanks JackHenry.

Many thanks for another fun one.

Included this one on our tour of the area. Thanks!

Well, I never. A gentle nudge from Team ??? pushed me past the start line with this cache, and a successful mission had me chomping at the gate and finding the cache in no time.

Thanks JackHenry, now for the other missions!??

Dropping in Yachtie Kiwi, for a visit, to get his little feet wet.

Nice little cache and we enjoyed the historic gz. Thanks JackHenry

Joan was with me. It took us a while to find it. Good hide. An interesting history.
Thanks JackHenry fir the cache. :

As Bek-theraccoon said, we stumbled upon this accidentally while looking for a cool place to hide a cache. Took MFS badge, left Geocash. TFTC

Stumbled across this cache (with racingstripes) by accident while poking around on our way to another cache!

TFTC

A neat little puzzle completed long before this visit.
This proved a particularly difficiult place to access this morning but once I was safely there I knew where this cache was going to be.
Thanks Jack Henry.

Found the cache at 9.25pm. The weather so beautiful cool and breeze at the night time. SL. Thanks JackHenry for organising the cache and hunt.

Now I am looking forward next Mission #2.

I've now included coordinate verification on the cache page. You can check your solution before going out in the rain.

Ha, good puzzle and good hide altough once near there really is only one place to look.

TNLNSL

Worked out what this was about without after about 10 minutes of web based research. Nice and straightforward conversion to coordinates, however the next in the series are a lot more obscure.

Grabbed the caches while I was out that way - great hide!
TNLN - TFTC!

A late log on this one 22/05/07, missed logging it after having a night out with boys in the hills.

Cheers from Barra

Did this with the other 2 late at night
TNLN
Thanks JackHenry

Out after the witching hour with the boys. The last cache for the night. We couldnt do it on the way out.

The best time to find this is after midnight, when there are no police at GZ... (unlike earlier in the evening)

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Twenty-third of 128 finds on "The Big Adelaide Assault" in company with acts2youthgroup and HawMorFords. We found this one at 0337. Yet another puzzle that we had cracked before coming over. Acts2YG recognised the symbols straight away, and we soon had the final coordinates. I've driven past GZ on many occasions, but this is the first time I've had a reason to stop. Parking wasn't a problem at this time of day. I made no exchange. Thanks to JackHenry for the cache. Cheers, dak.

L.L.T.R.A.

Twenty-three of one hundred and twenty-eight cache finds on the "The Big Adelaide Assault" the cache was found at 03:37 in company with dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords. As soon as I saw these symbols I new what they were, blame my wife she is a big sci-fi watcher. We were glad the traffic was none existent at this time of the morning. A great location for a cache.

Thanks JackHenry for the cache.

03:37 - Find #23 of 128 on our Big Day's Caching in the company of dak's Emu Mob and acts2youthgroup.

What a great location! We were there in the wee small hours so had no traffic or parking difficulties - a great time to do this cache.

Loved the puzzle too.

Thanks to JackHenry for the cache.

Completed mission on way home from work this morning, hardly an alien(muggle) in sight. Well I can't focus that early in the morning as they zoom past, so just assume it's the breeze!
Left a patch TNSL
Now on to the next...
Thanks JH

Knew I'd seen these before . Returned safely from the first mission - three (so far) to go.

TFTC JackHenry.

Mission complete. TFTC

With no idea what the symbols meant it took a while to get started. Wasn't helped by a lack on good photos showing their use where I though I had seen them before. Eventually found a listing of what they mean, with no thanks to Google.

Found the correct symbols which were easily deciphered, made our way to the old mine to capture a car park, once the car park was was in the bag we proceded to GZ to capture the real thing,the race was on to where the arrow was pointing and the cache was in hand log written in and my first mission is now complete.

Hope I don't self destruct when I post this log???

TNLNSL
Thanks John & Kerry

Amazing that you are not even looked at in these places

The hardest part of this cache was dodging the cars.
Thanks JackHenry

Found with the Coffees and Mystery Inc

Found with the Coffees and Mini Cacher

We had this puzzle cache worked out not long after it came on line knowing that we would be over in the new year.
The cache was found at 11pm when all was fairly quite.
Thanks Jack Henry for the puzzle and great location,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "Mission accomplished" Clan.
