Description

Brown Leapfrog - BYO pen

This moveable cache has now been archived but has been turned into a Travelbug so keep you eye out for him!

 

 

One of several of my Caching Games Leapfrog entries:

A small, brown frog 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

Grabbed today after a good mornings geocaching around the city. I had considered converting it into a traditional and/or leaving it for the upcoming 3rd Leap event up the road, but GZ didn't seem as healthy as when I left it and it was no longer the great cover it was when I left a Leapfrog here a month ago...

Thanks to all who helped move this little Ribbit almost 1600km Very Happy


Shhhhhhh

When you are in Sydney for one night, what do you do? Swap Frogs of course Very HappyVery Happy

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

Brown Frog decided to get an education.
 
11-Dec-11
I've decided that I will only be attempting to grab frogs that Blossom* has dropped, as trying to beat her will only bring disappointment and misery Razz

I grabbed this little fella on the way home from shopping, so quite thoughtlessly I dropped him in my bag with the tray of sushi, steak and other groceries. By the time we got home, he was toad-ally beside himself. Poor thing is quite frozen with fear now.

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!
Sorry for all the same logs but all 5 were hidden together by the last hider so there wasnt anything different to say Smile
Oh except that its a lovely lake!

*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..
