Logs for Big Red 44 

second go at finding this one and this time there was less traffic and i went straight to it

TFTC 

The note book is a little damp and had to add a bit of paper to write in ... needs new notebook. 

Not having much luck with this one ...
decided to try and find it while on holiday at Elmore.
first spent an hour searching for the cache at WP1 until I got access to a computer and read it was a Multi !!
next i found the first sign and the second sign but added up wrong and then GPS would not do a "GO TO" so i found the rough area of about 1.2 Km Sq and started looking for appropriate things ...
even though this was miles away from the right spot i did find an old abandoned harvester at S36.28.617 E144.25.634 LOL
GPS then started working again.
I gave up and went back to where i was staying and checked my calcs and found them out.

redid calcs and headed out again but the spot was about 700 metres away across a paddock, drove right round the block looking for closer access but gave up and went back again.

decided to go back to the signs again.
the trough sign is a bit of a problem ...
the first line [the heading] has [3+5+7] not [3+5+6] even using 6 or 7 letters only makes 20 metres difference.
the second line has too many words but the first 3 words fit the bill but only make 20 metres difference.
i thought it might be spelt different so wet a finger and tried to clean the black stuff off the words and they rubbed off at first touch...[oops]

double checked a couple of nearby caches and the GPS worked fine and accurately.

so far its a fail on this one 

Started from scratch and redid the calcs using the first six letters of the trough signs last word of the heading ...
got it right this time  

after carefully checking for snakes I spotted the little fella in the back and shot him ...
the flash should have blinded him long enough to get the cache

don't worry, the shot was done with my Pentax

TFTC 

Had a great weekend up at the park and nipped out saturday afternoon for a drive to within a couple of metres of the cache.
replaced the container which had a big hole in it but it could do with a new zip lock bag.
TFTC 

went past two days ago but too many muggles, went past this morning and no one there so on the way back i stopped in ...
a few muggle around but no problem getting the cache. 

easy find, couple of toys playing, took spyglass, left dino TFTC 

took quite a while for GPS to settle down so did a bit of mud plugging at the start before readings sent me in the right direction. 

found it was uncovered , now covered THTC 

spent a bit of time looking until i found out it was a micro then found it easy 

nice spot, no muggles to spoil the party TFTC 

had to watch out for muggles as there was a big Xmas party happening but they were all busy and i had an easy find. 

thought i found what was left of it,
checked low, checked high, lot of rubbish, checked all around the structure then checked hi and low in the structure and all i found was a broken container and ripped bag.
logged it and noticed it was a micro so went back and found it.

interesting spot ... had a good look in the obvious spot first though LOL 

you seem to go round in circles to get there from cabbage tree point LOL
no mozzies, no muggles, no worries 

My new GPS arrived this arvo so while i was waiting for the maps to download off the net i looked up any nearby caches and headed over to find it.
pegged my first ever cache
