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!

I later discovered that the cheeky little blighter had made the leap and ended up in my caching bag.
Perhaps he will find himself nearby to some Growling Grass Frogs this weekend.
Anything is possible.
A trip down the coast to drop off some moveables gave us the opportunity to collect this one along the way.

We usually leave home quite early however with the threat of ice on sections of the Bass and Midlands highways we decided to head off just before 7:00. We did have the added complication of dosing our daughter's cat with its antibiotic pill. It only took one person to administer a pill to our last cat however daughter's cat, that is smaller definitely needs two people one to make sure the pill goes in and is swallowed and the second to firmly hold cat particularly her paws. After leaving our place we headed to daughter's abode where we were greeted by a nature strip strewn with her household garbage - today was bin day in her street. There was no bin in sight. It appeared that someone had tipped her bin out and stolen the bin. After dosing the cat we found a large bin bag, collected the scattered garbage and took it back to our place so that it could go out with ours tomorrow.
Off we headed again an hour later than we had intended. There was little likelihood of ice on the roads at this time even though there was quite thick frost on the road edges at Latrobe, Deloraine and Westbury. We turned off the Midlands Highway on to the Mud Walls Road and headed through Colebrook and Campania then on to Sorell and Midway Point. This was one of the moveable caches on our list.
Found this one in its safe hide will take it on a little trip to fulfil the requirements of a DZ Trophy.
Had an unexpected trip to Launceston for a family bereavement and today I took a drive to look around and to gather some caches as we went.
This was the ninth and last find of the day.
It was Sainted at 1458hrs after a quick search and find. Very busy here today; cars everywhere.
Great spot - thanks for bringing me here.
Found a total of nine caches today, walking 8.08km using 10853 steps.
Will re-hide as soon as possible
Cheers and thanks for the cache
