If croak get back to Melbourne i might grab him, Can anyone tell me if he is still croaking or has his batteries gone flat or been taken out by a cacher that maybe got annoyed with him?

Are you talking about the Croak that I took over to Sydney in my sister's bag?? Well that croak certainly wasn't croaking when I saw him :shock: :?

We launched four frogs. One of them hopped his way to victory (Touchwood) so we requested the last hider to retrieve and secure so that we can be re-united with our victorious frog. Seemed wrong to simply let him hop on to the inevitable MIA.
Another of our frogs, Prince Charming? was/is quite dear to my daughter, as she chose him, so we've requested that he hop his way home.
We're also quite fond of our other two frogs, but it seems appropriate that some frogs are left to hop on, so they are going to remain out there, enjoying every hop, until we finally receive that log with a black border.

You never know until you try, the Clwydd Hospital can always use skilled qualified surgeons.

I think we had a discussion on this a few years ago. The general opinion seemed to be yes, there is no GCA rule to prevent it and if someone else has hidden it, it would count as a proper find.

My short term memory is getting worse!

Yes, I do seem to recall that we all agreed that we understood the GCA moveable rules (as opposed to the Race Rules) that way . . .

In any case, it's no easier to find your own frog or gnomes than someone else's . . . :frogette :gnome :gnomette :frog

Are any of you amphibian enthusiasts still following your 'frogs in the wild' or have you archived them?

Have you checked at the number still 'out there' and being logged?

I've archived 3 of my twenty, so still have seventeen to worry about.

I know that rogerw3 has made a decision to archive any of his that hop his way.

Do you have any stories to share about surprise reunions with your travelling froggies, thought long gone?

I have archived one (who is sitting on my desk as we speak), lost one to muggles (..three days into the race, grr), met one under a bush.

I have one of mine nearby (Kinda. Up a hill) but i'm .....not a fan of running up that hill. (I've been there before, almost to that spot to rescue one of my gnomes! Really you guys?)
I will say hi to him, some day. As with most of my frogs (...and gnomes!), i will say hi to them in travel, and most likely throw them back under a bush. (Depends on how attached i am/was to it!)

Our sole entry came to grief down past Wollongong. A couple of DNFs so I guess FrOMG is gone. Haven't archived yet just in case.

We don't have a good success rate with movables with three out of four disappearing and the only survivor being archived as soon as we got our hands on him at the end of the GeGnome Project.

Oh well they only have a sentimental value I guess.
