Description

Frog's Head Leapfrog - BYO pen

One of several of my Caching Games Leapfrog entries:

A small Frog's Head containing a Kinder Suprise capsule for the log (log only - may take a path-tag or two - BYO pen).  Please ensure the capsule is firmly gripped by the head so that it doesn't become separated - thanks.

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

Alas I think this one is long gone or shredded... If you happen to come across it though please let me know!

Oh dear, not good news at all. I'll leave the cache active on the off-chance it turns up but it seems like FHR has lost his head for good this time... Such a shame after a 1500+km race. Sad

The gnobbled gnome is/was Bill the Booze-Hound http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2875 Looks like he tried to put up a fight to stop a muggle gnicking his stubby!...

Team Ladava was down in Geelong visiting the grandkids and detoured on the way home to search for this frog but we have grave fears for its wellbeing.
I did not have the hint with me noting 'in a tyre' but I did kick a tyre at gz over without luck.
I did find in the nearby drain the remnants of a shattered gnome.

Not a good omen.

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

Moved 16.84km
'Frog's head' has moved a bit, although he made the trip all the way to Lithgow he did not want to be left there as it could be a long time before he was found, so he wandered back to Sydney.
A shame we can't add the 200 odd km to his total.
He must be part tree frog, he seems to favor these locations.
 
22-Dec-11
Found this nice little Frog right where I expected him to be which was just as well as I did not have my GPSr and went by memory!
But I thought I knew exactly where the spot was and sure enough he was waiting for me.
 
22-Dec-11
Bumped into Frog's Head Revisited in the company of rogerw3, while they were passing through Leura and the Blue Mountains on their way to Lithgow.

rogerw3 will make sure of future transport arrangements.

Bon voyage, Frog's Head!

Off to Chatswood - this spot is where I found my first frog in this year's race so hopefully there are other froggers in the area to move it on. He found a nice camphor laurel to keep an eye on the sport from.
 
14-Dec-11
A nice easy find in a regular spot. He seems a bit legless though, might have to hook him up with the champagne frog!

This frog's head has made it down to the river but couldn't get much further Ribbit Can anyone give him a hand? Or a body? Or a few legs? Laughing

I'm so glad this little guy hopped back into the game. He was on the street corner when I walked home tonight

Dropped him off in Quarry Rd Dural while doing another exchange.
 
06-Dec-11
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

After a tiring concert, Frogs Head Revisited was resting here awaiting his next clandestine move as part of the "PPE" Whistle
Thanks for the fun Frogs Head Revisted!

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!

This one made me laugh out loud!! He 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..
