Kaffee Mob - City (The Mouse is Tardy) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin:
Mob caches were published as an experiment using specific technology that required players to be in the same place and to enter a code at the same time to learn the final coordinates. This was an exception to the guidelines at the time and is not a publishable concept today.

The original site used for this purpose has been removed, and therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active caches originally intended to be solved using this method. Due to privacy laws, we are not seeking an alternative site at this time. We are respectfully requesting that the cache owner please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

Geocache Description:


The Mob Cache site has been retired.  It was fun while it lasted.  You can still find this cache with the coordinates on this page.

I have left the body below intact for posterity.    S 27° 28.047' E 153° 1.284'


The Mouse is Tardy - A Parody Cache.  In memoriam


"The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese"  OR  "The first geocacher gets the FTF, but the second geocacher misses out".

This geocache is dedicated to the "mice" who choose NOT to sleep in a little longer, before arriving for their breakfast. 🙃

For David Wazza, who has published 51% of his hides as Event Caches.  Well done, mate!


Preliminaries:

    There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there.
    There is no need to enter any commercial premises for any part of this cache!
    Please use the roadside footpaths where possible, and take care in crossing any roads.

We have placed this cache where we have met up with fellow geocaching friends over a cup of coffee, and have found a cache or two. We encourage others to do likewise: meet up with a few friends and have some fun caching.

So, a Mob Cache is a Social Cache. In order to find the location of this cache, you will need to bring along some of your friends! The more friends you have, the easier it is to find the cache.

For this cache, you need a minimum of TWO cachers to meet at the posted coordinates with their smartphones.


CLICK THIS LINK NOW and a new window will open.  Continue to refresh this window until you are close enough and connected to the mob.   You will see the message and new coordinates.

👓 If you get a Geolocation Permission error, ensure your browser‘s settings allow geolocation.
👓 Refreshing the window should also clear any GPS reading errors.
👓 Be patient - the mob refresh rate is a bit slow, so even though you might be within the mob radius you may have to wait there for a little bit until your presence is detected!

✅ It would be a great idea if someone in your group IMMEDIATELY takes a screen snapshot to minimize the risk of losing the screen. OR, you could just write down the directions or coordinates for the final.

Good Luck!
