Description

 

I am Geo Kid E entry in the Leapfrog cache race of 2011 / 2012.  I am a small flat frog.  Although I am not tiny I have magnets on my base so I can be placed in many locations.  You don’t have to use the magnets; they are just there if you need them!

 

There is no log book, simply record your find on the GCA web site and also record your new location and hint via a “move” log on the same web site.

 

Have fun and keep on croaking (caching)

Handed back to me by Swampy
 
25-Mar-12
Went and retrieved it today. It had fallen out of the tree and was sitting on the ground. It wasn't that far in the thick stuff - I had it in 2 minutes from leaving track.
Will drop it off somewhere flat - like Budgie's desk!
 
07-Mar-12
Couldn't see it.
 
29-Jan-12
Will brave the wilderness again and go check on this one in the morning
 
29-Jan-12
Well hidden or picked up
 
29-Jan-12
It is a fair way off the track in the middle of some fairly thick scrub so I think it may be a while before some one finds it. If it is still there in a week I will go rescue it. Oh Yeah and blame Swampy for where it is cause that's where he put it lol

Found this frog and many others during a frog raid encompassing The Domain, Howrah, South Hobart and Mount Stuart.
In all, 47 frogs and a gnome were recovered and they will be placed out in the bush tomorrow. Maybe we'll take them to Cockle Creek, NO. Strathgordon or the old Hilton Hotel at Adamsfield! YES. They are good places.

Thought we'd logged this one back out again on an outing about an hour ago but a quick check when we got home and no log showing. Oh dear....this colourful boy is back out hiding from the bright sun in a carpark that was eerily empty today.
 
25-Dec-11
I logged this one on the move and for some reason the log hasn't uploaded. (Surely not the users fault...surely not....) Anyhow, located this colourful fellow on a quick trip through town and back home.

Hi Budge
After looking for and not seeing this colourful croaker at the bus stop in Kingston the other day, I wasn't going to miss a chance of getting him today.
After getting two on Mt Stuart, drove to Tinderbox and found this "flatty" at 0653hrs.
TFTC and cheers; OldSaint.

Mynel dropped by to take Flat Frog for a drive. Like Flat Frog's name suggests, he is pretty flat.... actually he is pretty AND flat!
 
12-Dec-11
The frog has gone
 
11-Dec-11
Well swampy has stuffed me.

I called into my desk today to find my flat frog sitting on my desk. What can I do with this? If anybody wants to calling to budget rent a car during the week and collect him I will be grateful.

Hmmm, this one will be interesting...
 
09-Dec-11
As soon as I looked at the map, I knew exactly where Flat Frog would be! And I was correct. Rehide this afternoon.
 
09-Dec-11
Hopefully someone has or can retrieve as being vertically challenged makes this one hard. I couldn't see frog so may be there still.

Found him out enjoying the mild calm Christmas day. A happy and bright fellow now spending a bit of time with a couple of froggy friends before his next adventure.

Kaatka must have just missed me finding the frog. Was out hiding others and this one was sort of on the way home so decided to see if he was still there. He is so flat i nearly missed him. Will move ASAP. Sorry Kaatka Sad

After dropping off "We Serve" and failing to find "Wincy" (again), I headed home and checked for frogs on the way.
Lo and behold, this one was right by the road I was driving along!
An easy find sans GPSr.
Thanks GKE.
