Tougher than we expected to find – not only is this a stealthy container but it’s hidden unusually-thoroughly too! TFTCI’m increasingly regretting my choice this morning to wear comfortable but not waterproof shoes rather than my not-fully-broken-in walking boots. Between the muddy puddles and the long wet grass, my feet are soaked!

No sign of this one, despite the geohound and I’s best efforts.Maybe it washed away if the nearby drainage ditch broke its banks this winter?×

Coming up from Evergreen/Loop #4 the geohound and I made a poor guess about which side the the hedgerow we ought to be on, and – to avoid having to backtrack – opted to cut through red thicket just East of this cache. The little pupper got stuck and had to be carried, which was […]

Dan Q found GC1QY29 Can Rabbits Climb Trees??
<p>Coming up from Evergreen/Loop #4 the geohound and I made a poor guess about which side the the hedgerow we ought to be on, and - to avoid having to backtrack - opted to cut through red thicket just East of this cache. The little pupper got stuck and had to be carried, which was when I discovered that her belly was completely caked in thick mud. Eww!</p> <p>We got here in the end and were delighted to find such a nice cache. TNLN, SL, and took advantage of the concealment provided by a nearby tree to relieve our bladders before continuing North. (Well I appreciated the concealment; the doggo is happy to widdle anywhere!)</p>
Dan Q found GCAABN0 North Leigh Loop #4
<p>An extremely easy find, although a bit of a spiky retrieval. TFTC!</p>
The geopup and I are out doing the North Leigh Loop from New Yatt, where we’re temporarily living while our house is dried and damage assessed by the insurance company following a catastrophic flood a few weeks ago.Between Loop #3 and #4 we took a small diversion to find this cache, and I’m glad that […]

<p>The geopup and I are out doing the North Leigh Loop from New Yatt, where we're temporarily living while our house is dried and damage assessed by the insurance company following a catastrophic flood a few weeks ago.</p> <p>Between Loop #3 and #4 we took a small diversion to find this cache, and I'm glad that we did! So nice to see a properly-sized (and tenured) cache still rocking it!</p> <p>Lid was not properly attached by a recent finder, sadly, and the container spilled its contents as I picked it up. But once we'd reassembled it all we were able to sign the log and continue our loop.</p> <p>TFTC to both the hiders and adopters. FP awarded for being the first decent-sized cache I've seen today.</p>
While the geohound busied herself with the important task of collecting sticks several times larger than herself, I began the search for what I’d figured would be a QEF.Within the circle of uncertainty lay an obvious-looking host covered with obvious-looking candidate spots into which to squeeze a cache of this kind. After 15 minutes of […]

After 15 minutes of searching where it "should" have been I wondered, per previous logs, if it might free fallen, and made a brief search of the mulch and leaf litter underfoot. No luck there either! After a total of nearly 20 minutes of searching, we had to give up.</p>
Clearly I’ve trained the geohound well, because she found the geotrail out to this GZ before I did!This cache is definitely benefitting from its layers of defense against the elements: the log, in its inner sanctum, was dry despite moisture getting through all the other layers! TFTC!×

Coming to the “start” of this loop having come from the “end” gave the geohound and I a perfect vantage point to sight this QEF. Now it’s time to find out how boggy the trail to #2 is! If it’s as muddy as the one from #8 back to the village then we might need […]

QEF for the geohound and I. My GPSr can’t connect to the Internet and I’m not retyping a URL into my phone so I can’t comment on the hint, but the cache itself is fine. SL, TFTC.
