Description

Leap Frog Secret Frog -- Pink 1

 

'Leap Frog' -- the Moving Cache Race -- December 2011 until January 2012

 

A 'Secret Frog' doesn't look like a frog until you open the secret 'small' container!

Then you'll see what you're dealing with . . .

Please don't hang on to a Secret Frog for very long. If possible, hide your Secret Frog on the same day you find it. At most, please find a new hiding place within 48 hours.

Remember that 'moveables' are meant to be found! Don't choose a difficult hiding place, or one that's far off the beaten path. Pick a place that completely out of sight of muggles, but which can be reached easily by frog hunters. And give a good clue!

This way, Leap Frogs will move on their way quickly and safely!

Enjoy!

Very sorry pjm but this Froggy is no longer where I left him. I went and had a good look today and there is no doubt that he is gone.

Secret Pink wanted to get back closer to the caching action, so he found a well used spot.

Secret Pink has made his way to the Clwydd headquarters for some R&R. Not to worry he will soon be on his merry way again for more games of hide and seek!

Pink 1 knows Clwydd well and will be happy to stay there a while.

Who knows where he'll travel next?

Bon voyage, Pink . . .

Picked up the Pink 1 late on a day of caching around SOP. She had had enough of the view of the mangroves, so off to some darker surrounds. Hope she can keep hopping around!

'Pink 1' wanted to move to a more Frog friendly neighborhood, so he came along to Bicentennial Park to be close to water. He will be waiting for the next finder.

Spotted at the Blackheath frog party - where frogs far outnumbered the humans. TFT Ribbit
 
12-Feb-12
Nice find today among all the Frogs, Gnomes and others over 70 participants as well as the odd human, some of them very odd indeed!
Many Frogs and Gnomes went to Canberra and who knows where from there, and many stayed to be relocated around the Sydney area very soon.

We had the finish line for the Canada-Australia Travel Bug race today.
several frogs were in attendance and they were the stars of the show while we all went into a frog signing frenzy. I didn't get time to know each frog but I did make my mark. I making my mark I inadvertently made one frog eligible for the Frog Hospital. Not this one though.

Pink is an allowable colour for men as it is only one syllable. He's already been picked up so is most likely feeling in the pink (as opposed to feeling Pink)

The secret frog has stopped off near what he/she thought was a nice green pond, but due to the dark cache container, it turned out to be a couple of power boxes instead.
NOT on or behind them though.

Thanks to Zal for making it all happen!

Found this frog again at the ZEAMMAFF event. Cheers.
 
03-Jan-12
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, over 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.
Moved on with me from the event....
 
03-Jan-12
Found at the ZEAMMAFF Event. Gotta love all these frogs!

'Secret Frog -- Pink 1' has moved closer to the action, he is quite the sporty type. Remember he is magnetic.
 
29-Dec-11
'Secret frog -- Pink 1' is an old friend so he did not put up a struggle and came very happily to be moved on.

Pinkie hopped out on a mid morning bike ride.
 
25-Dec-11
And here I was thinking that nobody would be silly enough to go looking for frogs today!
Ah well! it is only a 3 hours train trip from Lithgow, I knew exactly where this one was but it turned out to be the first of many DNF this morning thanks to tronador!
maybe next time if I can be bothered to do this again.
 
25-Dec-11
Well this had me perplexed. On an early morning ride, on a beautiful day, this was the first cache....err frog for the day. I understood the hint. I understood what the secret frog was held in...... I knew the location of the hide well BUT for something so simple, I just could not find this frog. So I rode off in search of other unfound frogs and left Pinkie there. On my way home, I thought I'd take one more look and still couldn't find this frog. So Oh well, probably beaten by blossom*, and I turned the bike in the direction of home, I glanced back over my shoulder and saw the frogs secret container. How could I not see that, I had looked in every niche, and it's not like the container is a nano, it's rather large. This was certainly my Doh moment today.

Secret pink likes multi caches so wanted to encourage others to come try Tronodor's Historic Rookwood cache. He really has found a central bottom niche in the wall... I mean market here!
 
22-Dec-11
Trying to make up for lost time! Out on a frog hunt, my first proper one actually. Cute idea!

'Secret Frog -- Pink 1' has moved to a new more modern place. You will find him on the small building, remember he is magnetic.
 
21-Dec-11
Found this elusive 'Secret Frog -- Pink 1' as the name suggest there is something strange about this one, not what you would expect.
I found him pretending to be something else fast asleep under Casuarina needles.

Secret Pink has found a really quiet little spot in Bicentennial Park. There are heaps of birds here, both water birds and land-based brids too. And from the sound of the squawking, a number of nests of babies too. Look in the base of the casurina clump
 
14-Dec-11
I met Pink 1 for the first time in the race. She was looking very cute and fresh. Maybe she hasn't been tiring herself out with all the rushing around some of the frogs have done Ribbit
 
14-Dec-11
Moved 5.98km
Pink 1 came home with me to have a wash as she'd got quite dirty waiting there to be met. I think she was a bit cross with me actually, for leaving her behind last time I was there Shame on you
 
14-Dec-11
I decided to go back and have another look today. I searched everywhere and met a lot of farmers friends but eventually, a rock appeared out of nowhere and disclosed this little pink frog Clapping
 
10-Dec-11
I looked high and low here but wasn't quite sure which rock!! I saw a very fat blue-tounged lizard, I hope he doesn't eat frogs!!
 
09-Dec-11
Moved 18.53km
At the end of the road, walk to some rocks and behind one, you will see this froggy covered up.

Argh, minding my own business driving along Pittwater Rd when a crazy pink frog lugging a big, black bag leapt onto the windscreen. Had to stop and let it in. Now it's on the floor croaking wiith the other one.
