1st Freddo Police and Council action on drug dealers or geocachers?

June 2008

21st FLIPPER&CO The local council has started to clean up this park (we believe that the local drug dealers were using this place to do their deals. It may have been the police ordering the council to get rid of the screening vegitation)As soon as the park returns,we will re-enable this cache.We are sorry for any inconvienance.CHEERS FROM THE FLIPPERS,GAYLE/MARK

15th FLIPPER&CO had reports that the council has removed most of the vegitation, will check it out and replace when possible. SORRY GANG. Cheers from the FLIPPERS GAYLE/MARK

14th gjdjb Didn't log this as a DNF as I suspect there is nothing to find anymore. Significant evidence of the use of a bobcat and chainsaw in the area. Suspect the cache is now landfill somewhere along with the rest of the garden.

14th Team Unicycle I agree with gjdjb. I couldn't find it this arvo either. I checked with another cacher, who was saying it's behind a bush, but there are no bushes. Didn't find Percy either.

May 2008

29th matmob Found after attending the GSAK event. Didn't notice all the unpleasant items mentioned in the previous log - probably because I was making minimal use of the torch! I wonder what the men in blue would think if they saw someone poking around with a torch at that time of night?! I've often invisaged myself hauled into the police station and being asked to explain! TNLN, TFTC

29th mabar I just keep trying to imagine wot the locals think wen seeing strange people pokin around in the park after dark TNTLSL TFTC

27th Team Waldron Out with setsujoku doing a few caches before the GSAK event. We arrived at GZ to find some muggles in the park, so after trying to out wait them we went off to the Flipper cache at the other end of the street. We returned and waited for 45 minutes for them to leave, but even though it was dark they refused to go, so we headed off to the GSAK event. We returned about 9.30pm to find the park deserted and after a bit of a search I uncovered it. We signed the log by torchlight and off we went for our next cache. TNLNSL TFTC

27th setsujoku Well, we certainly waited out the long haul on this one. 2 visits before the event, and then another after. The place creeped me out, and the evidence of the booze bottles, and spray cans with no nozzles, didnt sit well, and who knows what else we could find back there Thankfully waldron made the find, just as we were about to give up. glad i bought the torch with me TNLNSL

24th jysh Easy find in an empty park at 10:30am T: keyring L: car TFTC

23rd CamperVanWannaBe's I didn't even know this park existed and used to live on this street. Good camo style. TFTC

22nd shane4 Another find today while chasing caches around Adelaide with SA Parrothead between A Pub Lunch on the Balcony - No. 15 and a Cosy Corner Caching Collective Conference. TNLNSL TFTC [This entry was edited by shane4 on Friday, May 23, 2008 at 5:39:51 AM.]

22nd SA_ParrotHead Shane and I went out caching. A couple of big boys in a playground. Couldnt resist a slippery dip ride before finding the cache.

18th Trail06 This is the sort of cache I love, a walk up find. Thanks heaps for the cache and the introduction to another urban park.

18th lava12 We found it easy. We liked the cache. Nice place. Thanks Flipper&Co for the cache. :-)

18th Everlasting Accompanied with Lava12. Lovely park - admire the camo... SL. Thanks Flipper&Co for organising the cache and hunt.

17th four-fun This was a nice quick & easy find, despite Percy being so small! TNLNSL again, Cheers.

16th feathertop I was really glad that it was wet and a Friday as these types of enclosed parks can sometimes give the lone cacher the creeps, especialy if muggles are abouts. None today thankfully.

11th gr8cherokee quickly found

10th TeamAstro I luckly found this before the local K9 Labry entered the park. Talk about doggy doo.... Plenty around here. Bit like the park near DS-50 GZ.... The neighbours.. well I was pretty quiet [^] Clear skies, TeamAstro

10th s-ando no luck with percy, got the cache. if you are venturing for this one in the dark, watch your step as there are some serious dog's eggs nearby!

9th Nibs Not a soul there today when I went looking for this, which is just as well. I would have had some strange looks as I emerged, I'm sure . No Swaps. Cheers Flippers PS... What's Freddo on??? Am I missing something??? [?]

9th Allchin Good hide but an easy find nevertheless. Didn't see any trace of Percy. T: Tape measure L: Kiwi keyring that started its travels in NZ TFTC Flipper&Co

9th Bob From Elsewhere Find 249 without a GPS at 1.30pm Google Earth had me climbing on a roof for this one. I think the co ords are OK by a GPS taking into account all the other influences, but Google Earth is correct as I have found with another nearby Cache in the open the posted co ords are spot on. Left a Wombat Key Ring TF+Co FOFV

7th TeamHurtle Another quick find on way to work this morning. Nice little park too.. Nice camo TNLNSL Thanks

7th Jardry Find# 196 @ 1.26 Took: Nothing / Left: Nothing Another lunch time find. Three new caches with 1km of work. Now I have to work out what I can do next lunch time. Can't afford to go to KFC too often for lunch. Not to sure about this park - the play equipment looks as if it needs a little TLC. TFTC FLIPPER&CO.

6th calumphing_four After dropping off Mrs C in the city we were heading past when Cal (2y.o) let out the words I often hear whilst driving with him "wee daddy". Park was nearby, so we stopped, pointed Percy (far away from GZ) and then found the cache. Cal grabbed a ball and I only had gold to leave. Glad I had Cal for cover, and thankfully it started to rain so we had to return to the car rather than play. TFTC Flipper&Co Cheers P.S The bag was already there. Not a result of Cal.

5th Rowiezka With dying GPSr batteries I raced to this one only to have the dratted machine switch off as I parked the car. Decided to have a go (after rearranging the batteries to no avail)and located the cache. Percy was absent and Skippy had beaten me by about 10 minutes! Took dolphin left cache trouper. Gone to buy spare batteries for bag now....

5th Rowiezka Dropped cache trouper TB here to continue his journey. Perhaps he might spot Percy...

5th Skippy&Lambchops Hey Rich & Gary, can you hear that violin playing in the background. I can [;-)] i,ve got nothing to whinge about becauce I got a FTF Thanks Flipper&Co

5th winterdragon Ha! I knew where to look! And there it was . That camo isn't lasting too well, so its a good thing the hide isn't relying on it. No Percy around tonight. Unless he was that bloke chatting on his mobile when I left. Took: cache trooper (as he wouldn't fit back in the cache!) Left: tape measure keyring Thanks Flipper&Co!

4th Jardry I work round the corner (Regency Rd). Even worse than being nearby 30 minutes ago, I'm on two days annual leave and won't be returning to work until Wednesday. No hope of a FTF!!
