Description
Water is easily transported in an elephants trunk!
Just don't stand too nearby when he squirts it out, I got my shoes all wet taking this photo!!)
Packy is one of my entries in this summer's BINGO game. Everyone can play, so join in the fun! Please find Packy, take him away, sign his log and re-hide him in a new location within 2 days, taking note of the new co-ordinates.
You log the details in 2 simple steps:
First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log as soon as you pick him up - this will give you your smiley!
Second Step: Log the move with a new 'Moved' log when he's rehidden, adding the new co-ordinates as well as something useful in the hint box. This will update the main co-ordinates and the hint for the cache listing so that it will update on the map etc.

This cache looks to be MIA. To save it turning up on the lists we'll archive it. If it's resurrected the owner can activate it by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.
Found this cache at a dam on the Sunshine Coast. Brought him home to the wetlands. Left him near a GC.com cache

Dropping to the event location. Thanks for sharing!
Found today and will move him to the event destination so that he could be found.
Found accidentally today while looking for another. Will move on soon.

After holding on to this little guy for way too long, I've found a suitable place for him to hide out for a while. Up on the SunShine Coast, near another GC cache, from where he will be found soon and moved on again! Hope he enjoys it!!
This took just a bit too long to unearth and I was about to give up.
Then I had another walk around and looked from a different angle, and there it was! I'm surprised that it was still there, as it wasn't in any place where I would have hidden it, but out in the front, quite open to passing muggles. Seeing it for what it is, I'm astounded it wasn't picked up by any muggle after being here for so long.
I'll find a new home for it soon.

All 8 of the Belrose hostages have found sanctuary in Normanhurst. They probably won't stay for long.
Rescued on a mercy dash to retrieve 8 poor movables from the GCA-hostile desert to the east.
Moved off the road, down a little driveway, just in the bush with 5 other friends.
Found a bunch of friends and decided to move them along.

A quick move up the road to the local moveable hotspot.
One of three in the area, found after a bit of a hunt around with the iPhone leading me to lots of different trees. A different one, thanks.
Packy's has found a new spot to have a rest in, but don't make him wait too long.
Packy's has made his way up the mountains to the Clwydd holiday resort for only a very short stay. He will get back on the road (or train) and make his way to the Big Smoke.

Another new BINGO geocache for me . . . and a very easy find.
Thanks, blossom*!

Packy's Water Transporter has made a scheduled stop at this well used drop off area for the local caching nut to find!
Don't bother looking he is gone already.

Lucky I found Packy today, the heat made his water carrying capacity welcome. He will now take a trip up the mountains before returning.

Moved down Quarry Road to the other Dural drop zone.
Packy is in the bag with lots of others. Check behind the rock.
I thought Packy had waited too long and was probably very dry so went on a rescue mission this morning. Packy made a quick recovery and joined a big party in Normanhurst.
We went on a long walk today and the last hill was VERY steep so Packy kindly carried our water for us to the top. He stopped off at the start of the Great North Walk track
Well, blossom* ought to find it there! As soon as she drives home
I rescued this on blossom*s behalf and will hide it so she can go chasing it!
