Welcome Double Dee's many happy caching days to you....

Hint - Under the shiny mis-coloured rock..... Haa haa I can see this coming soon. I'd like to see you get a forklift up to the 5 star cache I did.....

Secret? You are the other Nutsman ...... I believe .... Or at least I discovered.....

So what's up Alf you going out to find some caches or not..... Haa haa. Contact me and we can maybe get out and do a few. I know that I have done all in the area but 2 (yours) but those are for later, there are a few of us who want to go get them together.

Most garden centers should have some sort of fake rock. Or get someone who does rock art to make one for you. I have been toying with this idea for a while. I believe Noddy has made his own version to fit in a micro container using a real rock.

A drop of ammonia might help. Animals are not too fond of that.... But scented candles might work too.....

I think it comes down the fact that wrapping the box offers some sort of protection from the elements. Most containers get some form of moisture in even with a bag round it. Even them great lock and lock ones can get wet inside. I think the best container I found so far was one of them twist top containers that muscle building supplements come in. The container seals nicely and everything inside was dry as a bone. who has tested their containers. Weigh them down and submerge them in the bath for a few hours. If air gets out, then it ain't good for a cache I guess. Wrong colour, use spraypaint. Ban the black bag, they attract dogs anyway.

Well I had the pleasure to host the Bat, Squirrel and Girry for one last evening before they head off to the green isle. Will miss you guys plenty. Have lots of fun and look after yourselves. Next stop Kili......

At bloody last a cacher revived in my area. Welcome back Africard. Get out and plant some more........ I am getting frustrated here.

OK that's it I will post a photo of me at the cache location writing in the log book with the entire contents of the cache in visible view. And I expect the same from all that visit my caches. Haa haa haa.... Hey does anyone log a find on their own caches? Haa haa. Anyway I have had a few DNF's and never log them as finds. I log it as a DNF. I logged one DNF and suspecting it as a muggled one was granted the find by the owner. I still don't see it as a real find but the owner is happy enough. Clearing that up. If there is a virtual then it must be confirmed by the owner as a find through photographic proof I believe. With the finder in the pic too.

I did not have any reletionship with them coins. I have my own. Gotta keep some to entice others. They work well as a conversation piece anyway.

Yes I agree I wan't to sign the log but this owner agreed if the cache (Micro) is gone then sending a photo is OK, but I still would prefer to log it in the notebook. It's just frustrating sometimes looking all over a place and not finding the cache. Only to find out it has been muggled. But yes I do want to sign the log, after all it is proof that I was there. This was the only one. I have not found many others an returned to find them on second attempts. With a little help from the owner usually. There are just 3 or 4 that seem to have definitely gone though. Of which the one we agreed on the photo.

Just wondering as I have found the spot for 3 caches already confirmed by the owners and previous visitors. I understand a regular cache can be regarded as a did not find and I will wait to see that it is replaced, but I was given the find for a micro that had gone missing, by sending a photo of the site to confirm the cache site. Obviously when the cache is replaced I will return and sign the log. Others I have not found well, I await them patiently to be replaced. Doesn't really matter if the cache is found or not to me. It is the fun element really. I get a lot of pleasure in finding places I probably never would have.

Who? Who is holding coins? Why does that mountain look so familiar? Eish that sheer drop on the right was where that chick went into a panic. Tickets if you loose your footing or grip.

what about going to an archived cache that was muggled. can it be logged as a find with a picture is mailed to the owner of the actual believed site.

Edited all mine..... Quick quick.... I feel sorry for someone like Crystal fairy though..... Lots of editing to do there.

Pleasure Neville. I pick them up on QFC's homepage http://www.geocachingranking.com/ just check them every now and then to see who reaches some milestones. Some you just pick up through the general rankings. Congrats Littleclan 100 finds?

Well done guys: Batsgonemad and his squirrel - 250 (How many of those did Girry actually find though) Die Pienaars - 200 Neville Bailey - 50 (There you go)

Megaben congrats on the 200 finds. Well done buddy.

Reason behind the longs is that, in long grass, long pants protect the legs better. But the main reason was that my legs are really white and unlike bats I have respect for the other people around me who may have forgotten the sunglasses. Now bats on the other hand.... with his tanning session on the lower part of Cathedral peak... Well....

Then we fly back down and you can hike back. How about that..... We will even have a cold one waiting for you at the bottom. As long as you bring a cold one up for us.

after the adventure in the Drakensberg with batsgonemad and rhino and seeing how well their units work I might as well hang on and get the 60 csx. but the price is something I still need to consider. Eish. the etrex I borrowed worked in the open but under coverage it was just not cutting it.

Haa haa, Rhino I noticed you had shorts on the hike but where where the sandles..... are you not a real man? Hee hee. Let us know when you go back. This mountain goat is rearing to go. My kids are already talking of going to Monks Cowl weekend after next. Hello Sterkhorn!!!!

See some people reached some milestones recently.... Well done guys. River God - 200 Jors - 200 hosta - 100 Bushpigs - 100
