Maybe GCA should alert the big suppliers of our plans. They will of over-stocked on gnomes this year due to the popularity last summer! :shock:

Given I know more this year, I won't be worried about putting a leapfrog cache in Wollongong. I think Wil or Tuena or a dark coloured rabbit will swing by at some point :-" .
I think WA may be a little out of my immediate just go for a drive range but I have now added it to the cache radar for a fluffyfish cache raid. :-" :-"

After forgetting to get my gnome made up last year this year made sure I got in early and have my first one made up ready to go and it is a Regular container size as well. Have a second one that will be putting together for Margieh and will keep an eye out for any other Frogs I might be able to convert to a cache over the next few months.

Whilst working on a certain young cacher's frog, we have had a casualty which we then had to repair. So we had to open the Leap Frog Hospital (with provisions for the Leap Frog Hospital & Recuperation Centre in Clwydd).

Please feel free to log any froggy casualties sustained in the run up to this years Leap Frog Race.

So how does one go about creating the special moving cache race listing on GCA ?

Well, you go into your 'draft caches' page, and click on 'new cache' (or whatever it says). When you are making the listing, you tell it it's a movable cache. You make the hidden date the 1st of December.
Then you to the cache page for the cache you have just invented, and go to "log cache", I think, and go to publish, and set the publish date for the 1st of December as well. I think we are including "Leapfrog" as part of the title, and putting Leapfrog as a public tag, too.

That's what I did, anyway. I hope it's right.

Got my Leapfrogs ready to go. I only have 9 little ones, and no they are not all the same they have different color hats!

I am not sure if that will be all, but as everyone who knows me will realise i am not the type to get carried away with making too many caches :twisted:
