Description
I am a very small participant in the Leap Frog game. I am hoping that I don't get lost along the way! I stick to things (and hopefully won't lose my sticky bit!)- which is, of course, what frogs do. I am hoping to meet lots of cachers and other frogs in my travels - see you out there playing the game. I don't have a logbook - just log your find online at GCA. Thanks for your help.

It looks like Nano knew that the end of Leapfrog was nigh and decided to go off and make his own way in the world! So, we will archive the cache - it seems unlikely that Nano will reappear (although you never know, he might just be hiding in a car!!)
Hi DDTs bad news I'm afraid. NanoFrog has gone awol. Went to place out at Cambridge last night and he escaped (I lost him). He must have fell off another frog while we were hiding them. Retraced our steps but had no luck in finding. Checked hides and car and still couldn't find. I think he has left home for good. Sorry, I hope he is ready for this next stage of his life.
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.

Another army of frogs has landed. Go Eastern shore cachers!!
We'd been here so long looking for another frog and re-finding "Tas Eggsasperation", I wanted to leave a couple here.
Around 10am Saturday 21st at the parking area for the Dragonology Picnic Party Event.
After that, somewhere along the Pipeline track getting to the launch area to the Dragon's Lair.
If not grabbed by anyone, I'll hide somewhere else after the event.

I thought I'd found nanofrog on a track at Rosny, but when I was logging online, by chance I saw a photo of Hops-A-Lot and realised that that was who I'd found and moved. Then in a frog-party that moved from Jabs letterbox to my place, I discovered Nanofrog was there - it was good to meet the real nanofrog after all!
After being buried alive, I am out resting in a nice location with a view.
We have you surrounded. Come out with your gps' on. We know you are in there at the event.
Back out at the F&G Ball behind the tree at GrannySwamp's place. Approach from Bicentennial Park...
I was leaving it on the sign cause we have seen lots of water hear on holidays.
I had to come on a bush walk with dad so I could get this frog. He was not aloud to.
Find this little guy before he's fully digested!
As we were beaten to a find on the nearby frog we left this one for the next person who drives by.
A very quick find at 1215hrs TFTC and cheers OldSaint

Only a muggle would come parst walking a dog at this time of the morning. Didn't bring clue so guess what started at far side and worked my way along. As I got to the end almost fell put hand up to grab hold and well scored a frog as well.
Almost thought this one was gone, but it finally showed itself during that "one last look"
We (geo kid a, geo kid I and myself) did a frog run around Hobart, sorell, Richmond and glenorchy and came up with 12 moveables including 10 frogs, one traffic sign moveable and the touring teddies. Great little get for three and a quarter hours including re hiding all bar two frogs.

This little one hopped out as we pulled up to get some groceries. He's waiting patiently for his next ride.
What ment to be a frg raid north ended in a shorter trip with only a hand full of caches done left with company.
Hope the confusion is not long lasting DDT's. Unfortunately we weren't carrying our very fine tipped pen so couldn't write Nano on his back. Bling is certainly much more blingy than Nano.
Ok, ok,ok, yes we moved our own frog . . . we were very confused and didn't know what we were doing. Don't think we should go frogging in Lauderdale again!! He's hanign out with Bruiser.
Question - Is it ok to move our own frog? No?? Well, what if you don't know you are moving your own frog, because you went to get Bruiser and Bling, but when you collected them you didn't know that it wasn't Bruiser and Bling you had - even though Bling didn't look very blingy!! We assumed that we had found one of Nano's siblings - but when we started to log things got very very confusing!! Frogging was really messy in Lauderdale tonight!
NanoFrog wanted to stay in the south a little longer. So we left Nano with Bruiser.
Picked up on a frog raid south from the North West. Hopefully we will have a good days frogging. TFTF
Went for a little drive collecting frogs, anyway ended up driving to Claremont, Austin's ferry, cornelian bay and Howrah to find a few. Found all but one that I was looking for and managed a ftf on the way. Thank you to every body that has placed te frogs out. I should have them back out in the morning.

Out to another frog friendly habitat
Took me a while to find a way to get to this love little path and stream that I did not know were there. Thank you Snuva for bring me here
Took about two minutes to locate the correct pole, but then the frog was easily seen.

A nano stream for a nano frog; up high behind post.
Thought the owner of letter box #12 might like a chance to nab another frog, so with permission this little fella took the place of the Jewel-Eyed Croaker. Cheers OldSaint.
Hi DDTs
Found "Postal Frog" at Blackmans Bay and the cache mobile couldn't stay away from this cache.
Battled the traffic that I'm now not used to due to living down the way. Found a park near the Netball Centre and then tried to cross the road. Boy! Is there some traffic on this road. Finally got across and walked to ground zero.
A feel along the back of the seat revealed nothing. Down on the knees and have a look along the seat and could only just see it. Well hidden it was! It just so happened that whilst in the act of what might have looked like saying a prayer, a MTT Bus stopped at the terminus and if only you could have seen the look on the driver's face. I think he was about to get off the transporter and ask what I was doing. However, I grabbed the wee wee croaker at 1158hrs.
From here it was off to find ""Jewel-Eyed Croaker" in a letter box. The owner viewed this little hopper, so I hope she logs it for you too!
Thanks for the cache; may you and yours have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY, SAFE NEW YEAR - looking forward to your usual christmas hide in the pine trees; Cheers OldSaint.

Found on a trip with the family from Hobart to Kingston and margate to retrieve various moveable caches, manily frogs. Because they are frogs (generally) we have a song for the log.

I think I have been reunited with my Mum, Petite Grenouille. Sat in the cache mobile and had a chat. I have been placed near her as I couldn't stay with her as I have lost the ability to stick.
Now he is checking out the parking arrangements on the Domain, underneath.
Found quickly given his size, but don't say anything as he gets a little upset. Will drop off tonight.
He has found a new friend to hang with for a while. I don't think he is overly impressed by the state of the structure his mate has chosen but he was lonely so he is going to put up with it for a while
So nice of kaatka to replace a couple of frogs in the area after removing so many others Finally frogs that I didn't have to drive miles for as they were virtually on my doorstep. Will move on ASAP
He jumped out of the cache mobile, all excited by the rain. After a frolic found a dry place to rest before his next adventure. He seems to like these historic places. GPS may have been 5m or so out in the weather. Use hint if needed.
Found this little guy again. He was Playing in the rain puddles with bruiser but we managed to round them up eventually.
Found on a trip north along the midlands. The bikes heading south for the toy run are spectacular. TFTC (thanks for the frog).
