Very clever hide! TFTC .

This one was so good

Looked everywhere but this escaped me!

Ingenious! TFTC

Good hide

Tftc

Got plenty of itchy bites but no cache

An aborted mission to Tinchi Tamba Wetlands (too much water) saw me look for nearby caches... this was my first stop... once around GZ and I thought I’d found the perfect camo for the cache... but it wasn’t there... once more around and I spotted the cache... tftc....

Found this one on an early outing with Geopup. I was out this way to work on the nearby AL, and grabbed this one while I was here.
Love the camo, well done, a fav from me.
Thanks yoshi4017 for the cache and for bringing me to this lovely spot.

A Sunday spent getting hours for the L plater.
Looped around and made tve find.
Good one!
Thank you for hiding this geocache yoshi4017

TGG & I out catching a few local caches while on holidays & I needed an “other” cache size find. Great locale & happy to find easily

Muggle65 and l were grabbing a couple of caches today as he has decided to start filling various grids. This apparently ticked another box for him. Happy to tag along on such a beautiful day. Thank you so much for placing this one

A quick find here after following the GPS. Thanks for the cache

Had no trouble finding a park then I couldn't decide on 2 spots as I was getting the run about with co-ords then I was just about to give up when I thought I would check one last suspicious spot and sure enough a very clever cache appeared. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

TFTC

We were planning to attend the Sip & Solved event tonight so we selected some caches in the 5 km radius which we needed to qualify for Challenges. This cache was the first one we picked up.
Thanks for the cache yoshi4017. Easy find and glad it wasn't what we thought initially when we found it that I have to poke it first with my hiking pole.

Visiting from the Gold Coast for a days caching prior to attending an evening event in the local area. This was a nice quick find due to the hint, all good with this cache.

Found July 30, 2020

Out with DisSister and La Kedi today. Loved the cache container here. TFTC

What a lovely construction this was! Judging by the container, it’s supposed to be somewhere other than where we found it, although it was still in keeping with the area in general. There was a dog wuffing at us from the other side of the road but nobody else in sight. Impressive tree nearby as well.
TFTC, yoshi4017. =^.^=

I love finding caches where the owner has put such a lovely effort in to the cache container. It was found safe and dry.TFTC yoshi4017

Easy find Thanks For the cache (TFTC!)

Bit of a hunt but found it in the end. TFTC

Today's bike ride took me to this location.

Thanks for placing the caches in such a lovely area and making me enjoy the day!

Georode

As I pulled up here with Lenore1972 I knew I’d been here before. So over walked. Found the cache in the same place as last time. Added my name again to the log. Added a FP too.

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). Very clever hide but it is higher than a 1.5 terrain. TFTC!

Out with lisylou and mnance101

Nice cache, in a quiet spot, found with bennyboppers and mnance101 today. Tftc

We came, we saw, and we were driven away by the Mozzies.

Next time!

Had to go back and grab some mozzie spray as they are swarming lol
Nice hide and easy find. Thanks

Took a little while and wer almost gave up, but driving away wer saw some more cachers pulling over to look. We came back shortly after, and after having read some logs, and found the goode shortly after. Tftc

TFTC . Having fun day out geocaching with my geo kids. Lucky I had my climbing expert with me.

Out this way to puck up a book for my daughter at the local library. Thought I could see where the cache was based on its name. Boosted miss 13 up for the grab. Cute camo.

Todays first find while it was still cool. TFTC.

Found today on an afternoon out and about whilst the geo wife is enjoying the nutcracker.
TFTC

Tftc. Had the gps sending us in a few directions but soon found the spot. But then could not reach. So off home and came back with a little help.

Ahahaha very clever! My go-go gadget arms were just long enough . TFTC and favourite points from me.

Had nothing to stand on to look up high.

Needed some caches to finish September so this one was nearby. Easy find and have attached a photo of another good hiding place. TFTC

Spotted the possible cache and happy to make a quick find. TFTC

1MinnieMoo and I were grabbing some caches together in the local area and this was the next on the hitlist.

I noted the area and did my best to search GZ. But not quite able to. Well I am sure I can help 1MinnieMoo get there.. so down on bended knee I go.

It was at this point I was aware exactly what pose I was in Well done, Fangsoki, you awkward individual But, thankfully, 1MinnieMoo was able to use me to get the cache. We signed the log and re-hid it the same way. 1MinnieMoo never did like my android phone - but now she is attempting to stomp on it in my pocket while climbing up. Have to watch that girl

A fun little cache for us to do... and well designed. TFTC yoshi4017

4/8/19 2:19 pm Find #2632
Out with Fangsoki for the afternoon collecting caches in the area that neither of us had yet, trying to get some numbers up for me for the final souvenir in the process. Arriving here we saw a spot right at gz that seemed to suit, but it was quite high for the terrain level - I certainly couldn’t reach.
Fangsoki did the chivalrous thing and got down on his knee for me. Good thing I have a Fang to stand on! And in moments I had a cache in hand. Then back on Fangsoki’s knee to replace the cache... standing on his phone in the process. It’s ok, it is an Android after all, right Fang?!
Thanks for the cache yoshi4017, and thanks for the strong knee and chivalry Fangsoki.

Great hide. Thought something wasn’t right and there it was. Signed and replaced as found. TFTC.

Geohubby & I had the day off together so roped him into finding a few gems with me. This was our first stop of the day & we spent far longer here than we should have. Geohubby eventually made the find & lucky he was here as i wouldn't have been able to reach it.
TFTC yoshi4017

A great hide but we think that it may not be where it was orginally placed due to an attachment on the back of the hide not being used where we found it. We have put said attachment to use and kept cache within centimetres of where we found it.

Needed to find a traditional cache today to fill in my calendar for a challenge and this one was close by. My muggle husband was with me and it was lucky as he was able to reach it once I spotted it. My husband normally is the one who finds the cache when he is with me so I was happy to be able to find this one myself. Nice little park thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Cache a day to keep the doctor away or to keep me sane TFTC yoshi4017 #1195

Almost back to where I started the ride. A nice hide here. A favourite point from me. [^]

Oh loved that one. Excellent GC Thanks

A not so quick find this time. This is third find of our caching adventure. I was a bit short for this one so frannymfrog took the lead this time...
Alas when we arrived there was a muggle with a dog, typical. Some pretend photos of trees later and the muggle had finally left. The cache was in hand. There were mozzies galore!!! TFTC! Found with frannymfrog logged as 3K!

Phew ... glad to have potatochips101 on my team ... persistence is a great quality when tracking down a cache. Great camo ... didn’t phase potatochips101 at all.
Nice hide ! Logged as (3K).
TFTC ....

Out for a little spin on the bike and encouraging Slow Puncture ( Mrs) to smell the roses while peddling around.

These new cycling themed caches were the main target and after returning Mrs SP to the original starting point i decided to complete a few more Km for the day

Map directed us in the wrong direction, but the description of us right.

Was barking up the wrong tree for a while. Quick find after I tried another tree.

A rainy drizzly day, time to find a cache. Thankfully when I arrived at GZ the water falling from the sky had paused for a moment and then unthankfully a frenzy of blood sucking winged devils appeared. This was going to be fun Got to love geocaching in wet humid weather.
Dancing around like an orangutan on go-go juice I finally spotted something. Whoop there it is! As quick as could be I plucked the container from its hidey hole and pulled out the log. Murphy would have been laughing as of course I had to unroll the entire paper to get to sign my name and then stand there jiggling as I couldn't get my pen out of my pocket. The mozzies were having a field day! ARGH!!! Ok, log signed, log rolled, lid on, gnarly cache back in hidey hole.... RUNNN!!!!


Thanks for the cache yoshi4017

What a sneaky one. TFTC,

Getting a little restless at home so Mrs VC asked if I'd like to head out for a few smilies.
I ummed & ahhed for a moment or two before jumping at the chance!
Really?
You had to ASK! LOL ...

We spent a few minutes chasing an erratic compass then Mrs VC spied what we were after.
Easy retrieval for Mr VC but I wasn't sure what the 'hook' was for?
Nice burl, would look good stained & polished.
Made our mark & replaced exactly as found.

TFTC yoshi4017

Glad I’m not short. Tftc

We got it, the mozzies and a spikey vine got me! But worth it

Very clever
TFTC

Parked at this one today got out of car, noticed there were people on the balcony right across from cache so decided to move on to another cache and leave this one for another day. :^)

Finally found it! Nearly had me stumped this one. My GPS had me in wrong place too. Hard to sneak around on all that bark! TFTC!

Great camo! Took a little bit of searching but got there in the end. TFTC

GPS had me us in the wrong spot initially, but we soon had spotted the sneaky hide! Great camo, TFTC!

Was here a couple of weeks ago in the dark of night, but was unsuccessful in locating the cache. Much easier to find in the light of day! TFTC.

Even though I had completed my calendar a while ago, I now need to do it with traditional caches due to a new challenge.
This was our target. A little bit of bounce, but we had soon zeroed in.

Log signed and all replaced.

TFTC

it is nice when fasted and I both need one for the challenge and there is a nearby we both can find

way cool

I am out for a few hours to find a few geocaches.
A quick find here today.
Thanks for the cache.

I am in Brissy for the Xmas / New year week.
So , while I am in town I had better find a few geocaches if I hope to clock up 13k find later in the week.
Found after a short search today.
Thanks for the cache.

Found but perhaps not where it is meant to be!!! Tftc

Came looking for his last night with Ardom and the darkness defeated us. Back in the early morning light with Gcoven we made the find.

Not sure it is positioned xactly as intended....but certainly xactly as I found it & TFTC, my 1st 2day

Big hunterman spider eeek

Thanks to DeafVW
Eek spider on the cache eeeeek

After being cooped up in the car all day, I decided I needed to stretch my legs, so headed off in the threatening weather for a 'little' walk. OK, 2 and a half hours later, somewhat wet and 10 thousand steps done ... I scored a couple of caches, and the legs were stretched

This was the furthest point from home, and the first cache find this afternoon. A neat cache, and my first Yoshi find - I like your thoughtsing sir.

Thanks yoshi4017 for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #6287}*

All good with cache, ready to be found!

With a few new caches published since we were last in the area, stortigirls and I decided that we still had enough daylight to find some of them. We headed to this one and located the cache quickly. With our names in the logbook and the cache returned to its spot, we continued on our way. TFTC

I had met up with Selva Girls after work for a few smilies in the area. This one was a quick find, despite the clever camo. Tftc yoshi4017

I've been told time and time again go get knotted!! The latest occurrence was only yesterday, twice. Not really knowing where to start I wasn't really in a hurry until I spotted gnarls and burls. Not quite a knot, it was close enough in meaning I think and near home.

Know this street quite well. Usually the amount of cars parked both sides reduces it down to one lane. At GZ spotted the shell of the amber fruit lying around then spotted the hide. All I managed to upset was a noisy minor bird as I extracted the log. Thanks for an interesting hide yoshi4017.

Cabin fever was really getting to me so I headed out on a solo run for a couple of hours.

I searched the wrong spot fairly thoroughly before widening the circle, but then spied the very clever camo. Nicely done, so have a favourite point. TFTC, yoshi4017.

Out with Geopartner for a couple of caches today.
Nice quick find.
Signed the log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks yoshi4017 All good with this cache

Hooray tricky

After a long night shift, a quick cache on the way home was just the ticket. It started drizzling which added further time pressure, but after trying here and there I finally put my hand on something that turned out to be the cache.

Interestingly, the trees around here seem to be growing beer bottles. I need to come back at harvest time .
