Wow, enough controversy and even Bear_left will go looking for a find... :)

Cheers

This cache sounds like a cache that I put out near home someone said it took them 5 goes before they actually found it!

Well if I ever end up back at Murdoch Uni which is one of our sites that I installed last January, it sounds like a target!

Well I dropped by today (see my log) and you can add me to the DNFs. This one will drive me insane and the terrible thing is that I can't drop by for a look if I think of something (being in Sydney).
With so many very experienced cachers being dashed on the rocks here I wasn't expecting too much. There really seems to be nothing to look for, everything I could see must have been checked 1000 times.
If not for that one find (and it seems some others have been let in on the secret) I'd have given up for good. But still I will persist...
Who wants to go for a look at 6am Wed? :D

You should have come out night caching with us tonight, Yurt. We're not going to *that* cache again though... :)

Good luck tomorrow if you go back. :)

Yurt,

Thanks for mentioning this forum in your log. I had no idea, 8-[

Wouldn't want you to miss out on all the fun!

I see there's been a run of notes on the cache since I logged last night.
It does make one think again. [resisting urge... to... go... back... for... one... more... look]

Ah I can only say I feel... humbled.

All caches are easy to find once you know where they are. Glad I was inspired to go back. This should encourage the Sandgropers to go and get it!

Another couple of DNFs followed my find. This one could be going for the record for DNFs.
Anyone know what that is?

I knew you'd have it to hand!

The graph shows 35 DNFs but there are 46 on the listing so either GCA is a little behind or it only counts individual DNFs, not multiple DNFs by the same cacher? I'm sure c@w knows the answer.

With 46 DNFs it's pushing into the top 10.

That list has got me interested though!

We don't get a perfect feed, so it's more than likely that there are a few missing.
If there are more than 5 logs on a day, we only get the latest 5 (if you know what I mean).
Missing logs have been imported.
