I was in the process of creating several dozen caches to fill in the numbers that weren't in WA, but since the consensus seems to be that there is no obligation to drop a cache when a cacher picks one up, while I think it would be fair, I decided to abandon the game instead. Any cacher could make the effort and create caches for numbers, they just don't.

I'll still be creating some more movable caches, since nobody seems interested in my numbers, but they won't be in the game.
Maybe we need a staging point in the south east where we can exchange moveables. Maybe in Cannington? I have used that successfully in the past with Tuena on the south coast of NSW.

I'm with you *blossom. Early days indeed. Though those crazy Canberra rabbits have said no to a trip to the Wild West :|

Hmmm not sure about that think I dropped off a few the other day. Even though I picked them up again. I managed to convey 39 to Margaret River and then returned to the Northern Suburbs with 25. Which were snaffled before I could think of where to put them.

But yes so far with the WA caches we cannot fill any of our cards even though we have moved an enormous amount of moveables this month. :shock:

We might be able to met you halfway, Fluffyfish.... err.. exactly where IS halfway? Maybe I should have researched that a bit further before posting. Oh, well, I won't tell the Black One yet. He'll never think of it on his own....who am I kidding?????????????????? He probably has a pocket query all organised all ready.

OK, crawling back into my burrow now. Don't pay any attention to me.

I'm enjoying finding them, after all they all count as a smiley. But I also won't necessarily be chasing ones I have already found. As for the numbers, maybe we need to sit down and create 100 draft listings, then actually activate the ones that have the numbers missing in NSW. That's one way to do it.

But now I am living a bit further away from all the GCA moving action I probably won't be moving as many as the last couple of years, today didn't have time to drive to where the caches were.
Use the depot I set up near you and me! I'll pick up from the Dural depot(s) and deposit there for you.

I have your snail from there to park somewhere (forgot to take it with me today), but I do have to go to Liverpool tomorrow so might get a chance on the way back to swing through Rookwood/Meadowbank areas. Hopefully there are a few down that way I can grab to bring to the depot (though they all seem to be at blossom*'s house at the moment!).

How long does it take for the Bingo card to update? I just logged about 40 Bingo moveables as found and still only have 1 green box on 2 of my cards! :cry:

Before they show up they have to be moved 1 kilometre from where they were found. Good luck

C@W, Help please. I have had a a couple of DNF's on one of my moveables. :( Hopefully the last hider can go and confirm that is still there. 8-[

Can you let me know what happens if it becomes MIA forever? [-o<
