Description

You are going to have to be stealthy - work out your cover - don't get caught (laughing).

But while you are having fun - "walk" a mile (1.609km) in another mans shoes.

 

This container has taken a bit more effort than usual ; ) so hide it appropriately.

 

This cache is taking part in the 

Moving Cache Race

A cache race that is all about mobility.

 

Please include a photo of yourself in the log. It may spoil the secret but it will be more fun for me.

But wait there is more...

You are going to need a password. Since I don't want to make life too difficult for you it is 6421.

 

 Congratulations to Wing6rider on the *FTF* and thanks for your OMG moment.

More Parrot sketch:

"I'll tell you what's wrong with that cache, my lad. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it!"

-Owner: "No, no, It's uh,...it's resting. There, it moved!"

"No, it didn't, that was you hitting it!"

-Owner: "I never, never did anything..."

(yelling and hitting the cache repeatedly)
" 'ELLO CACHE!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!"
(Takes log book out of the cache and thumps it a lot. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
"Now that's what I call a dead cache."

-Owner: "No, no.....No, It's stunned! If I hadn't nailed that log book down, it would have gone VOOM! Feeweeweewee!"

"VOOM"?!? Mate, this cache wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it!"

I think we can all do the Dead Parrot Sketch.

..." That cache is definitely deceased, and when I looked for it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
"it has passed on! This cache is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
" THIS IS AN EX-CACHE!!"

If I can find a replacement container (or if anybody has one spare in their shed) I will put it our again just for the fun (stress).

..."Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of containers."

The game might be over but the cache is still out there.
Mobility Stealth will continue on as a moving cache being found by people for what ever reason.
Over the two months of the competition it has been making people laugh, relieving a morbid curiosity in a harmless way, just a find for the numbers or startling a few. Hopefully some people rolled a mile on another persons wheels.

It has done OK in the Moving Cache race considering it is possibly the most inconvenient cache ever made.

This cache works best in very public spaces. It started off chained to the bike racks outside the ACT Legislative Assembly. I would like to see it get to Martin Plaza Sydney, Federation Square Melbourne... you get the idea.

Have fun.

Haha - re one-legged surfers ... the tower you see to the right of the cache in the webcam is the "Shark Tower" according to the surf lifesaver I was talking to when placing at latest location. "Leftie" helped by hopping with me to see if we were visible on cam. :oP
Actually the best part of the wheelchair is the big wheels that made it reasonably easy to push through sand.
Monday morning there's a few youngens enjoying some boogieboarding in surf behind cache.

The location was in sight when I left home at 6am but someone appears to have moved the camera, the horizon is now not straight and the carpark view has gone. Hopefully someone else corrects the angle.

I tried. :)

Also for anyone who hasn't done it there is a GC cache within the immediate area.

Found this very unique cache outside the Centre for Positive Aging in Goolwa. Loaded it in my car and went home.

When getting home my partner David, who is a St Johns Superintendent, spotted it (mainly because I asked him to get it out of the back seat of the car) and immediately said "it has a broken foot plate". This was not the reaction I was expecting from him.

No, why, what or how or anything like that! He just accepted that I would arrive home with an item like this.

I just commented to him that it is rated as 'small' and he said it is correctly sized. He said the big ones had motors on them so it is small. LOL.

Well, I initially wasn't going to look for this cache. With Mrs TiedyeSmileys at work this afternoon, these moveable caches are just about the only ones I am allowed to do on my own. Actually had my sights set on another one that hasn't moved in a while. When I arrived there though, found out it was near a cache that we had been muggled out at earlier and the same went for a Sunday afternoon with wretched muggle children on both sides of the fence so left.
Had the coords for this in the gps and thought I'd give it a go. Arrived at GZ and found my coords had me in the middle of a clearing. Obviously nothing there so I expanded my search. If only I had read the description so I would have known what size this cache might be. While looking, saw something quite bizarre. What an odd place for one of the neighbours to store that. Oh well, looked a bit more but no luck so went home empty handed.
Got home and read the description and suddenly the penny dropped. Doh!!!!! talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. I just had to get my hands on this so straight back into the car and off I went.

Will put it out tonight.

What a wonderful cache to find. We were advised of it from a friend and could not wait to go and pick it up. We weren't the only ones here, firstly we had to wait for the workmen to go then we had to do battle with the bull ants which had taken up residence with the chair. It took some organising with baby seats to get it in the car but after a while managed to get everything in. We have put it near an Old Folks Village as we thought that to be appropriate and you never know they may get some use out of it. A very easy find. Happy Travelling.

I spied this out on the way through Woden on my bike. OMFG was my reaction, how embarrassment!

Went to Phillip and picked up my car and drove back to Woden. I figured the direct, confident approach was the way to go. Luckily no one was sitting nearby, just lots of passers-by. I walked up, entered the code and removed the container to the car. Will replace somewhere tonight.

It is not at the posted co-ordinates - It is now at the COOK shops.
I went to Uni of Canberra Security and asked for my cache back . . . PLEASE.

And I had to move it (yes, move it or else) but in the spirit of the rules I will not log it for distance or as a find. The next finder will, however, have to look for it at the Cook shops and their distance will be calculated as if they moved it from UC.

Still having fun, although Mr Bunny says that the cache containers are getting too big and heavy for his bad back, and he's going to have to give up caching at this rate, or install the right sort of hydraulic lifter at the back of the car. :-(

With a bit of Fore!thought you get the opportunity of a bonus cache at this location.

*FTF* With my own entry in the Cache Race coming online overnight, I was keen to see what the others were like. So, upon checking them out this morning this one was on my way to work.

When I arrived, I came under the gaze of a group of workers erecting a large christmas tree. They soon lost interest and I started to look around.

I began by checking for all the usual things cachers look for but soon caught the GCA logo in the corner of my eye!!

What an audacious 'cache'!

Tne next problem was how to move it as I was in my micro-geomobile! Anyway, I relocated it to a nearby plain sight/muggle infested area where I am sure it will inconspicuously await the next visitor.

A great entry in the cache race! Best of luck SamWalkers.
