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

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!...
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.

Don't bother searching, this is gmj3191 territory and he will have it within minutes of this log!
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
Thanks quiet1_au and thanks for the organisation Blossom*!!
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
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.
But I thought I knew exactly where the spot was and sure enough he was waiting for me.
rogerw3 will make sure of future transport arrangements.
Bon voyage, Frog's Head!
Now off to Sydney.
Thanks for the fun Frogs Head Revisted!

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!
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..
