Description

Red-Blue Poison Dart Leapfrog - BYO pen

One of several of my Caching Games Leapfrog entries:

A small Red-Blue Poision Dart Frog (non-toxic!) sitting on a small lidded container for the log (log only - may take a path-tag or two - BYO pen).

Leap Frog is a moving cache race for December 2011 and January 2012
http://www.cachinggames.com/leapfrog/

Please move it as far as you can within 2 days and hide it safely to avoid muggle trouble, but not so well that geocachers can't find it quickly...
Please log it when you grab it and drop it as quickly as possible to avoid those annoying DNFs and to keep things rolling smoothly - thanks!
Please add a hint to your placed log to help if necessary (I think you can do this but it's been a year since I last logged a moveable cache...) :-)

Leapfrog game rules (extract):

  • Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
  • There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
  • If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cacher may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule
  • There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
  • Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days

Out at lunchtime to pick up the pile of frogs collecting here. Took a few minutes to find as I had to come at it from the wrong direction to avoid the gaze of the muggles at the parking spot.
TFTF. I'll move out east for the FO to pick up, hopefully in the next few days.

I found this with many friends at around 11:00 today and made the swap when no muggles were watching. I placed 13, Blossom* placed 11. Fair enough Wink

Thanks quiet1_au and thanks for the organisation Blossom*!!

All the frogs had heard that a visitor was coming to town and were very keen to show him the sights. And with the Sydney Festival on, there are plenty of sights to see!

I dropped them off at the gates of the Botanical Gardens this morning so they could make plans and book tickets. It was agreed on a general tour around and then an evening climb on the Harbour Bridge Very Happy

Drove down to Springwood today to 'rescue' a few frogs and get them back into circulation.

I think I know how to transport them to Sydney -- by taking them in the opposite direction!

Watch out, Lithgow!

This was one of many frogs (as well as a few gnomes) that came along to boot Zalgariath back to Europe at ZEAMMAFF. Things were really hopping as more and more frogs arrived during the afternoon, by the time the event had finished, about 55 movables had hopped onto the table. Of course, with that many frogs hopping around in one place, something was bound to happen, and one poor gnome was bumped to the ground, requiring a trip to gnome hospital and a serious stay there, but the less said about that the better.

'Red-Blue Poison Dart frog' tried his best to avoid detection but he was no match for my Frog searching powers (when they work that is...) he surrendered to the inevitable and agreed to go to a new location.

Having arranged the PPE (Planned Prisoner Exchange) before coming to Melbourne from Sydney I was wary as I approached Templestowe's equivalent of Checkpoint Charlie. With my four members of the NSW Frog Liberation Army I was looking to exchange them for eight members of the Victorian Frog Freedom Fighters. It was a cool foggy morning which added to the atmosphere as I searched the long grass. Finally they were found. There were 9 fugitives in hiding but one had to be left behind to look after the NSW prisoners. The exchange was made and we went out separate ways, never looking back.
Now off to Sydney. RibbitRibbit

Found them this visit.... well what I mean is we were confused last time we were here as to which frogs were here and which had already been taken and so thought these ones had been taken when they werent!

RBPD Frog is going on a long trip tomorrow so he went to a Going Away concert tonight before being tucked up in his next hidey hole (see photo)

Thanks for the Froggy fun!

*FTF* Found with Spladem TFTC

"too many caches makes me all froged out"
 
01-Dec-11
*FTF* with good mate Darian (MRX02) easy find and one of many for the night..

Reviewing my stats I discovered a few that had very few logged words regarding the journey. I like to write a bit, and hate reading my caches logs with little of the story. This one was found somewhere and dropped somwhere on a day when we moved frogs via Geelong, Queenscliffe, Newport (ish) and ultimately to Kilkunda. Thanks for the cache and the opportunity to take this one along for the journey. This one like the 15 or soo others ended up at either Avalon Airport or up a tree at Kilkunda.. Fun was had, however like all good story's they must come to an end.. thanks for the frog..
