Found log but no log book

CO has not visited GC web site since 19 March 2015 and it is clear that the cahce itself is NOT there.

Having noted others have been recording finds here we returned & found the cache still in the same spot as on our previous visit. Again without a log or proper container. We expanded search area & found a mouldy log wedged in the crack of a nearby tree, without a bag or container. See attached pic. We also found a baggy & fresh log on the ground of yet another tree nearby. See attached pic. We wonder if birds are removing the logs from the cache given the lack of adequate container? We reunited both logs in the ziplock bag & have placed with the cache. This cache needs urgent maintenance from the co as other than the baggy, the log will not be protected from the elements or wildlife. Some effort has gone into the preparation of the cache, it's a shame if it has been abandoned. We did try contacting c/o when we visited last time to report status of the cache, but unfortunately didn't hear back. Tftc

Mouldy log found in tree close to gz & a dry new log found in the ground elsewhere in the area.

This cache requires a container. At present 2 logs placed by recent finders are only protected by a ziplock bag. On our visit neither log was with the cache. Please refer to found log for more information. Thank you

I found the log stuck n crack in the tree - signed that but no driftwood nearby. TftC.

It was easy find it after read hint and love that type of cache! Fav point for ya from me! Had to replace log paper as there was no log paper in it! Got signed and returned same place TFTC

Up in Toowoomba visiting family and out this morning watching the kids play soccer. Checked on the app to see if any caches were nearby and this one popped up. Went for a looky see at half time.
We found this log on the ground at what we think was GZ but nothing else. Hubby joined me and he found nothing either. So placed log back in a little spot (didn't have anything on me to protect it).
Think this cache needs some love.

We're pretty sure we found what was washed ashore, however cache & log mia. Have taken pics to send to co for confirmation. Didn't spot the log or cache placed by previous finder. Did find what appeared to be a sleeping bag rolled up in a tree, assumed that wasn't it. Will await co advice before logging a find/dnf

Found wet plastic bag with wet log a little distance form our GZ. Conducted maintenance and replaced log and added a container and put it at our GZ. Will send CO a separate email with description of log and our GZ location so they can update any info for the cache.

Found with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

Found small plastic bag with log that is dry but has clearly been wet and most logs are now illegible. Didn't have a spare cache container sorry but did out a piece if notebook in it and try to replace it carefully. Needs maintenance though. TFTC.

Urgently needs a new log and a better container not just a plastic bag. Thanks

Circled around checking this and that, finally finding what I was looking for. Thanks Tluaconcepts.

That's a tricky hide! We had an idea of what to look for but it still took quite a while, and was perhaps the 15th place we checked. Luckily we had our geotools with us or it would've been even trickier yet! Also glad it was a quiet day near GZ. I imagine there are some times that it would be a real challenge to search for surreptitiously. TFTC, Tluaconcepts. =^.^=

Awesome cache. TFTC.

*Live logging*
Found with sesblocker.
Great coords but still took us a while. Gets a favourite!

Awesome cache

Tricky one. Tftc

Very creative.... Love it

Eluded Mrs Ward and Baby Ward today
We will be back

A few quick finds between meetings. Very flakey gps signal on phone app having us going in circles.finaly chwked th rught spot. Clever construction but log is a little damp. TNLN TFTC.

Out with tippic1 finding some caches, had searched for this cache a few times before but couldn't get a good location with the old phone and then had trouble with muggles but this time was much easier tippic didn't take long to have in hand tftc

That tree cover is a bugger!!
Well hidden, found it before Ace4530, which is very rare. (And I'm not below rubbing it in either hehe)
Tftc

Only had 10 minutes to kill before an appointment. Being a school day the carpark mostly quite but a muggle pulling up ensured that I looked like a good citizen picking up some yob's discarded McWrapping. Can't wait to get back there... WWotW

Nice and tricky lol but great spot tftc

Well done

Casually cruising around the toowoomba area finding the odd geocaches here and there. While looking at the app i spied this one on the same road i was parked! With another smiley happily added to the list. The cache was found and signed. All seemed in good order. Thanks for the cache!

Three sets of eyes took around five minutes to locate the cache. Nice cammo. TFTC

Very cool cache. Hidden in plain sight in an awesome container. Tftc

found it tftc

TFTC You've been Bear'd

Found it in about 5 mins love the effort in your caches

Crazy find a bit corky

I have no idea it's was recently slashed and had a large build up of grass ect this one is a mystery to me

Good cache.

I had to come to Toowoomba to have some work done on my car so I took the opportunity to have a couple of days with TriciaC2 and do some caching today.

TriciaC2 had already found this one so gave me a bit of a nudge in the right direction and I quickly had the cache. Retrieving the log was a bit more difficult and I had to walk back to the car and get a retrieval tool so that I could remove it and add my name to the log.

Car park full today. A very enthusiastic game of cricket down on the oval. Parked up a little distance away and after a very solid look for the cache found an amazing container in a very well thought out hiding place. A day of geocaching with my great mates Muff1. Not an early start, but we did start and finish. TNLN TFTC.

We ventured out with Speedmistress for a day of fun and laughter. This one had us looking in an area that did not hold a cache but when the search area was widened the cache hide was spotted by Speedmistress, very clever and tricky indeed. SL Added a sheet of paper TFTC

**Smilie #3599**

Chasing a few windmills in preparation for our upcoming road-trip to NSW/ACT & decided it wouldn't be right if we didn't grab a few caches in the process! LOL ...

Plenty of parking here.
Parked the Geo-beast & let Winter the Geo-cat out for a wander.
Winter enjoyed stalking the noisy miner birds & climbing a tree under the watchful eye of Geo-Mamma while I headed in for the kill.
Made my way to GZ, casting an eye here & there as I went, &, thanks to good co-ords, quickly spied the cache.
Nicely crafted & placed.
Unfortunately the log was quite damp & full.
Managed to make our mark but the cache would benefit from a little CO loving care.
A nice quick find.
Signed & replaced as found.

Find number 15 with Wombles today! Took longer than we would have liked but we were looking in the wrong place.... GPS wasn't impressed with the tree cover. Wombles soon spotted a likely spot and there it was

tftc

This one took us a while, we were having trouble with the gps under the trees and trying not to look suspicious as there was a muggle eating in his car. I think he was more interested in his lunch then us though!
This was a clever hide, something outside the usual!

Tyftc. Great cache! Kaedun and matcha

Clever! Found with kaedun, thanks GPS wasn't exactly helpful under the tree cover.

Found it! After 3 goes and its a bit wet

Found it finally! Log is wet!

So very clever the hint was good but damn it was still hard to find

Beautifully prepared cache. TFTC

TFTC 1647# very good and very sneaky

Found it with the help of geoson and live2trek

Very clever this one

With Doddski

Found it.
Sneaky little one - like it a lot
Tftc

I am so glad to be finally adding a smiley to this one. The first time i looked for this one i was only new to this game. And by comparison i still am.... but non the less i remember searching for a long time the first time only to come away with nothing. I tried a few times more to look for the cache but due to the area its in and the high volume of traffic and sports played here i felt i wouldnt be able to have a good look again. So second time actually looking for the cache and a bit more experience today was going to be my day! A lesson learnt from this one trust your instincts. The title and the hint are a dead giveaway and it all makes sense. Tftc

Very well done .. well worth a Fav point ..

All Good .. TFTC ..

Fantastic cache, thanks!

Tftc. Very cool hide. Nice idea.

Took abut to find. TYFTC.

Found after a meeting at St Alban's today. Always great to be back here.
A couple of muggles were around so I had to be stealthy, but in the end I spotted something that would float and that's all I needed. Nice work! TFTC where all is fine.

Nice cache container
Tftc!

Found Ok

Couldn't find a thing

Found eventually, took us a while to get to the right tree. Very clever! TFTC

Tftc

Very clever very smelly

Nice hide. Tftc

T-Tech had to work up at Mt Kynock today, and I tagged along for the drive from Brisbane, then borrowed the car to do just a little bit of caching around Toowoomba

After my last find I sent kestal a message that I was in town, and she asked me to join her here to have a go at this one. I arrived first so decided to have a bit of a look, but the co-ords put me in a patch of open ground in between several hiding places, each about 5 metres away Gonna be a long search, methinks Quite a few minutes went by and I had no find, but as soon as kestal arrived, she made the find straightaway!!!! Geez Nice container TFTC, Tluaconcepts.

I don't know how many times I have driven passed this one between going to and from work, soccer games and heading out of town. I did visit this cache when it was first published but it was dark and after quiet a long search I gave up. After getting a message from IolantheK, I thought why not see if I can duck out of work at lunch and grab this one. I arrived a little while after IolantheK and she came up with the sme problem I did the first time I searched. But for some reason something caught my eye. I think I surprised myself. Happy happy to have a smiley here. TFTC Tluaconcepts

After attending the Cacherversay Catchup No 2 Event, we decided we had better go look for a few caches to walk off the great lunch we had eaten at the Golf Club. Our GPS didn't put us in a particularly useful place so we needed to put our caching sense into gear and start thinking about the hide.

As we arrived at ground zero Mrs Just a Trifle wondered about what the relevance of the cache name might be, but it all made sense after a few minutes when we had the cache in hand. We had to return to the car though to get an appropriate extraction tool to enable us to sign the log.

Thank you Tluaconcepts for having placed the cache for everyone to enjoy.

Went for a walk around the oval this afternoon to pick up a couple of caches in the area. Nice little hide here - although i think we were spotted by people unexpectedly coming down the path just as we were replacing the log in its hide..... oops!

The log was really wet so we added a new log sheet in a new zip lock bag to the cache 'container' to keep it going for a while

Thanks for the cache this today Tluaconcepts!

Very clever. A few muggle kids around playing soccer but far enough away from them. Thanks.

Found with my mum StephLego

TFTC. We have come across a similar hide previously. The GPS had us out by about 10m but the senses kicked in and bingo.

Tftc great hide.

Needing a few caches to make up numbers in preparation for our next milestone and was in the area to drop off one of the young Eskies at his grandparent's house who live very nearby. Very quiet this afternoon and thinking outside the box it was a relatively quick find. Great job on the hide...fav point from us. TFTC.

Really liked this one We must have looked at every bit of wood there Haha.. nice hide. Thank you for the cache!

Cool container. would have no hope without hint. tftc

A little searching revealed this cleaver cache TFTC

Arrived at this one and was searching for a short while before Ms Wig spotted something, and there was the cache.

Clever one, thanks Tluaconcepts

Great hide. Tftc.

Tftg

So kool! Nice idea to hide it! Enjoyed this one alot

One of the best yet great hiding spot very clever.

Good hide...found and logged thanks

Nice hide-log still wet and crumpled.I put a new temporary 'log' in with original.Needs a new log and zip loc bag.TFTC!

Washed ashore is looking like it today.. Unfortunately log is too wet to sign and don't have our caching gear with to replace the log.. TFTC

Found back in May and forgot to log it. TFTC!

Searched for a bit when Misslill made the clever find. Log drenched but didn't have replacement. Wrote names in back of log. TFTC. A favourite from me!

Out for a nice walk in the park today. Took a little longer to find. Sneaky!

Clever and sneaky hide. Great. Tftc

I am in town for a couple of days so I shall find a few of the new caches in town since my last visit.
A bit of searching before spotting something not quite right, and sure enough it is the cache.
The log book is getting quite damaged with everyone squashing it in the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Very cool
