Super quick find once we knew where to look. All is good with cache. Thank you co for bringing us here
Hubby Hans and I are staying at Ipswich Showgrounds. Out sught seeing today. Found cache easily with the hint. Tftc
Didn’t even have a look as with a bunch of kids in the park we knew if they saw us find it they would more than likely have destroyed it as soon as we left…….
Out for a day of caching with Willis007, Nayfee and Nikid1. I had a list of caches that where required for certain reasons of D/T, 360, age and just because we were passing. However, the main aim of the day was to walk Mt. Blain then grab a few caches in the Ipswich area.
Finally in the Ipswich area, chasing caches and doing some adventure labs along the way as well. With no one around here today we parked not far from GZ.
With the hint supplied we all pretty much had a good idea as to where the hide was. While I made the find the bigger kids played on the seesaw. I will say that caches in playgrounds I frown upon but with no one around here today it was a fun time for us. A nice hide and with the log signed and cache replaced as found, we started back to continue on our list for the day. Thanks for placing this one here.

After hatching a plan with Nikid1, chamad and NayFee to visit Mt Blaine, we targeted a few caches as we headed towards home, this was on our target list along with some of the terrific ALs in Ipswich.
With 4 pairs of eyes on the job, the cache was quickly spotted. Our names added to the log we continued our journey.
Thanks hisforheather for the cache.

Out and about with Nikid1, Willis007 and Chamad for a spot of caching around Ipswich and surrounds for the day.
I'm not a fan of caches that are hidden smack bang in the middle of a playground, but thankfully we had the entire park to ourselves. We quickly spotted the potential hiding place that was aligned with the hint so we wandered on over to have a look and sure enough the cache was in hand. While signing duties were done Willis007 and myself proceeded to play on the sea saw. Good times.

There needs to be a couple of new attributes. "Not recommended for lone male cachers" and "Not recommended after school time"
Like Muff1 I have walked away from this type of hide many times and today I couldn't even approach it at 3.30pm

First a question for the CO, if the cache is meant to be on the ground in the open, fully in sight, then the cache is in the right place. If it is meant to be hidden out of sight then it is in the wrong place.
Today we were fortunate that there was no one playing in the park but we heard voices and where not sure if we were being watched. Playground equipment is not our favorite place to look for a cache and we have been known to walk away from them without looking for the cache. SL TFTC

With a park full of people we had to use all our stealth power to sign this one. Made for a fun adventure.
Thanks for this one. I was wondering if Ruzzel had got this one. I agree with him I am always concern with ones near play areas
Cleaned up the Ipswich Adventure labs this morning and luckily it was still early. IMO - Caches on kids playground equipment in front of decks at the back of nearby houses will certainly attract the wrong attention for geocaching.
After chasing down 5 nearby Adventure Lab series & 2 Bonus Caches (27 smilies ... woohoo) we found we still had a hefty slice of the day left so caching we will go!
Arriving near GZ, and with no-one about, Mrs VC was quick to locate the cache.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
Stealth needed as there was no way of knowing how many muggles might be peering out their windows here.

GOOD HIDE!! Looked over the clues for ages, checked the location 3 times before finding it, pay close attention
Another quiet park here today. It was pretty warm too. We were fortunate enough to be able to go straight to the GZ and retrieve this one without having to wait our turn to play! TFTC
While pleased I had NurseyJulie on the tea this morning to ensure I wasn't the solo male lurking around a park, it really didn't matter as the place was desserted and we were free to hunt down the container. [^]
GZ was obvious, so we each took a side and NJ soon cast her eyes on the cache. OUt for business, names were etched in the log, the container returned and we were quickly back on the road.
Cheers hisforheather.

Looked according to the clues and completely Missed it first time. So obvious when i looked again
Lots of potential eyes here from nearby homes. I wandered over to grab the cache and settled on the seat to sign the log. Sorry had no one to compete with. Returned to where I found it. Thanks hisforheather. All good with this cache.
I arrived at the end of the street and sat wondering if I should go for this one. I usually avoid this type of cache as a single male in a kids playground is not a good look. A discussion that comes up often on the F/B groups. After sitting a while and seeing not a soul I decided on a quick attack. Cache soon located (thankfully) and I was out of there pronto. Thanks for the cache hisforheather.
One of the joys about finding caches around Ipswich, in particular One Mile is the likelihood of being buzzed by the RAAF... and today was no exception...
After getting the car serviced I took the opportunity to find this new cache... tftc...

Late afternoon yesterday noted two new caches in this area, considered chasing them for FTFs but decided not to. This morning still no logs, so off we go. found the cache and on opening it see that 2wagtails signed it last night but had not logged it. By the time that we got home the wagtails had logged it. thanks hisforheather. Find # 1030

Woohoo! Noticed the new publication when we were driving home from Brisbane. Only a small detour and pretty soon we were at GZ.
By now it was dark and the little park was empty which we were happy about when we realised where we’d be searching. It didn’t take too long before we put our hands on the cache. Opened the log and it was blank. Nice.
