Description
A participant in the Leap Frog Project Moving Cache Race. Tweezers will be required to remove the log!
The Budweiser Frogs are three life-like puppet frogs named "Bud", "Weis", and "Er", who began appearing in American television commercials for Budweiser beer during Super Bowl XXIX in 1995.
The commercial began with a scene of a swamp at nighttime, and a close-up of Bud rhythmically croaking his name. Later Weis and Er join in. They croak rather randomly for about ten seconds, until Bud, Weis, and Er begin croaking in sequence, thus forming the Budweiser name. Their croaking becomes quicker as the camera pulls back to show a bar with a large neon Budweiser sign glowing in the night.
Here's a link to the original commercial: http://youtu.be/pVcbasIb8lQ
My version of Bud, Weis and Er will start their journey in relative proximity but do not need to travel together. Photos with bottles of beer would be greatly appreciated, even more so if it's a Bud-Weis-Er!!
This is one of my entries in the Leap Frog Project Moving Cache Race which runs from 1-Dec-2011 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2012 23:59:59
Please help move this little fella as many times as he can within the borders of the ACT!
Logging this cache is easy:
First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log (this will give you your smiley!)
Second Step: Please re-hide as soon as you can, taking note of the co-ords. Log a NEW 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates and even a hint in the hint box if you wish. The hints box will update the main hint for the cache so that it will update in GSAK and the like.
Feel free to find and move the cache again once 2 people have found it since your last find.
Enjoy!

It looks like this cache may be MIA. As such we'll archive it to stop it turning up in queries and lists. If the cache owner can confirm a location they can resurrect the cache by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.
Well hello - an ancient leaping movable cache come my way.
Grabbed and on to a fine frog hollow.

I dropped this in a car park that had a Black Bunny in it!
We just had enough time before our train to go and meet Weis. Actually, as it turned out, we almost got on the wrong train and we really had 45 minutes to wait for the one we needed 
I think I have met Bud already so only one to go before i get my drink

On a walk here today I came across Weis. I really needed his other mates, it was a very hot humid day and nice cool beer would have gone down very well
Rated: for Overall Experience
There're a few croakers around here so Weis should blend in. It's not on the freeway, walk across from the highway.
He escaped to the daisy bush but was immediately recaptured by another cacher, don't look for him there!
Off to the northern swap spot, 3 in, 3 out!
Here's a frog I haven't seen before! Caught up in the excitement of the latest race he has hopped up to a new exchange point.
Weis is now asleep and waiting for his next pick up.
The Weis Frog has returned, hard to believe but here it is again, I must find a spot much further away to prevent this from happening again!

Moved Weis back to Clywdd . . .
But I'm sure he'll be back east again soon.
Found in the company of a yellow bird . . .
Have already met Weis in the past . . .

I made to the spot quickly after finding another frog nearby. As there were bush regen crews working nearby, I quickly told them was I was doing and not to be alarmed. Fortunately, one of them knew about what I was taking about and was curious to see what I would find. I first showed him the nearby GC cache that his was very impressed about, and then I showed him this frog as it was a quick find. Quite amazed, he called his other crew members to show them what this geocaching stuff was all about. Very interested in it all and then we parted our ways. A good find and maybe potential fewer cachers find!! Will moved soon.
Weis has now decided to move on and found this spot very congenial.
Weis has made his way to the Clwydd Recreation Center. He will return to the big smoke very, very soon.
Don't bother looking for him, he is gone.

And of course . . .
Weis is now in Clwydd!
No doubt he'll be moving back to 'normal' civilisation in due course.
There's a geocacher up there who will look after him quite well.
A new Leap Frog for moi!
It took me a while to 'get' this frog's name, because I'd forgotten the 1995 Super Bowl commercial.
Good one!
And thanks to rogerw3 for the transportation . . .

Froggy decided to jump off the train at Leura to visit the local cacher, he will no doubt make his way further West in due time.
Don't bother looking for him, he is gone already.

Sunday and nothing to do, how sad is that!
Only one thing for it, grab a train and down to Central I go and hope the Froggy is still there. No worries he is waiting right where placed.
My thanks to The Spindoctors for the extra hint and advice. No sign of security guards today, in fact I had the whole place to myself.

I found the GPSr got me in the center of the courtyard, the only likely spots seemed to be a couple garden beds 30 metres away. I went and started looking trying to be inconspicuous unfortunately not enough so, I decided to call it quits when I spotted a couple security guards looking at me and pointing in my direction.
Without better coords or a hint this may be a hard one to find without the police being called!

Dropped off outside the ABC in Ultimo.
Found him in a bag we had taken to a recent event. Either we grabbed him or he jumped in. Needless to say we're aware of his presence and will drop off somewhere soon.
Who has Leap Frog Weis now? Did anyone pick him up at the 'Spring Geocaching in the Bluies' event?
Well I am sorry but I have not been able to get back to Canberra so I took this movable cache to an Event cache and hoped that I could find someone who would be going that way soon. Fortunatley someone did. I hope the cache owner is not too annoyed at me for holding onto it for such a long time but I did want to get it back to its home area.
I shall think again before I pick up a moveable cache again.
Thanks for you patience.

Found this movable cache in "Bug Exchange" onn the Hume Highway. As this is my first movable cache I thought I would see how this worked so took the cache. I hope to place it soon. It looks like "KayJay placed it on 13-3-12 as that is the last entry in the log. Hope this solves the mystery, 0319. Does this cache need to stay in the Canberra area?
Shall have to have a think about where I can place this cache. Maybe near a pub or a pond?

Hmm, been down tonight and no frog there 
. What is odd is this log on my nearby GC cache:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=90b6ff7b-857b-4360-8a8e-bc19a58c8204
I know it is dangerous putting one next to the other, but figured as the race was on that it would get moved on quickly...

thought I'd have a look for this froggy.
found the cache, didn't find the frog
0319 is it possible to check?

Mass confusion here... have just re logged it so that it is back where I hid it..
Decided to drop Froggy off at another of Sol de lune's Xmas series.
Found it at "Two Turtle Doves" while doing Sole de lune's Xmas series. We'll move it along this afternoon.
(Apologies for late log-We've had problems trying to log in)

Picked him (maybe it's a her, not sure)up whilst doing the "Christmas series". Found at Four Birds a calling, which is not where it was last logged??
Spotted in the hands of fitzy just after he grabbed it.

We took this little guy to Queenbeyan but didn't know of a spot to release him so took him to a familiar park.
Found by Mr Stormcatcher, now to go find somewhere to take him.

Picked up on an evening walk in the hills. A bit blowy, but I had a much better time of it than I did last night!
Finally, some frogs down South. A brisk walk up and down a mountain to collect a swag of frogs. Backpack felt like a Namadgi adventure backpack after a while.
Back home after a good walk with the dawg, placing frogs out for southerners to find. Thanks Allrounder!
A quick find with Black Bunny on the way to work this morning.

A slight detour was called for on the way to work when we realized that there were some loose frogs still available on the North side of town.
On our approach to GZ we thought "allrounder you have outdone yourself with the construction of these frogs" but thankfully we only had to deal with a smaller cousin.
A joint *FTF* with Just a cacher on the way to work.
