Description


Flat Frog

One of several of our entries in Caching Games Leapfrog.

Flat Frog is a little magnetic number that can be hidden as your imagination takes you.

BYO your own scribing tool.

Leap Frog is a moving cache race for December 2011 and January 2012

http://www.cachinggames.com/leapfrog/

Please move it as far as you can within 2 days and hide it safely to avoid muggle trouble, but not so well that geocachers can't find it quickly...

Please log it when you grab it and drop it as quickly as possible to avoid those annoying DNFs and to keep things rolling smoothly - thanks!

Please add a hint to your placed log to help if necessary.

Leapfrog game rules (extract):

Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)

There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between

If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cacher may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule

There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days

I had to initially abandon the search because of a bogan urinating on gz, but in the end, I needn't have bothered because the cache was not to be found.

Great to see this one still in location...especially when there is a GC cache at the same co-ords. Safe and sound on the side of the highway, but just be careful as you walk to it. I had to leave Flat Frog in his current location so he could help out.

Thanks 80Degress...photo of him attached.

TFTC back home in Tassie,over the jet lag with a bit of time on my hands between jobs. I saw there were a couple of moveable in Trevallyn so thought I might go for a drive and pick them up. Off down the north west coast soon so Flat Frog will come along for the ride and might hop off if he finds somewhere peaceful & green. Very Happy

Flat frog lives on to fight another day! Though after almost a YEAR lost under a pile of Gallifreyan junk he may be a trifle flatter Embarassed, he's now in dire need of a good feed. Placed in a familiar spot an eagle eyed cacher may recognise. Wink

Hopped off. Up here a month ago chasing caches. How we missed this one is beyond me, but the little blighter dragged us back to give it some love & attention. Ribbit

Hi 80degrees

Why did the frog cross the road?
He wanted to see his "FLAT" mate!

Was caching with Budgietas and was between cache finds when he said "Here's a present from West Australia" and he handed me this cache.
He gave it to me at 1416hrs.
Will have him back out in another hide ASAP.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

After work I found myself with a few hours spare before I was due home so I made most of the time and went out looking for leapfrog caches and some GC traditional caches that seem to have popped up in the last couple of days. While I discovered this cache I am not in a position to move it on, so I’ll leave it in place and re-log the same co-ords so that geocachers see that it’s still available and in place. Thanks for the frog!

Hidden by Facitman at 18:00
I've held onto this frog for much longer than planned but life gets in the way of caching sometimes. While visiting The Crackerjack to make my 6th annual visit I thought I'd find a good spot for a flat frog, it was only on arrival that I discovered the large structure nearby is not suitable for a magnetic frog so I considered other nearby options and quickly found a spot that any frog would enjoy and in this case a location that would suit a flat frog!
Tucked the frog into position and he awaits the next finder.
Thanks 80 Degrees for a variation on the theme.

Quite busy for a Sunday so took longer to search than I had expected!
Will rehide soon

Dropped off not far from work, hoping the Xmas shopping Friday night and average weather would keep the muggles at bay. I had sussed out this particular hide the day before and decided to use it. Coordinates could be a bit inaccurate as the overhead construction no doubt will affect satellite reception and I only did a quick, non-averaged position fix (looks like it should be a bit more South judging by the GCA map - its not on the road). There's not much here, so hopefully the nature of cache with make it easy (if not check the hint)
 
07-Dec-11
A quick find once GZ came into view - the darkness and a parked car helped shield me from passing motorists. Will find a suitable place to drop it off soon (need to think about one suited to its special design)

This cute flat little guy has had enough of my company and decided to stay here awhile.

Travel far little Frog Ribbit .

*FTF* @ 10:30 pm.

Yet again I was out looking for frogs in the dark and, yet again my head torch was playing up when I needed it Mad . You'd think that I'd have thought to change the batteries Embarassed .
This flat guy was easy to find as he was sitting on the ground! Shocked I'll add a little chip of rare earth magnet to him to help him cling and send him on has way.

Cheer 80degrees thanks for the Frog.
