Got the Numbers? - Running Man #17 Boronia Heights, Queensland, Australia
By RoddyC on 14-Oct-20. Waypoint GC91AY3

With caching being a little quiet for us over the last few weeks due to life commitments I decided it was time to nab some after work. I finished a little earlier then anticipated and with a few hours up my sleeve I thought Id get cracking at the Running ManI never actually realised this area was bush land so that took me by surprise, I guess its always a pleasant experience to wander around somewhere new, and I really enjoyed walking the trails, it brought back some memories from my old caching days.Quick find here after a brief search.Thanks for bringing me here.____________________________________Something big is coming to the Sunny Coast on the 5th October 2025.Head to GCARTY0 to see all about the Sunshine Coast Beach Party event.#4465 - TFTC

After finishing work in the neighbourhood I decided to grab these caches. Caches found and signed.RoddyC thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.

We spent here in the Logan Shire 10 days - mainly to participate in the GCLOGAN events where we met known and new cachers.All good things are coming to an end, so also these days.We used today to clean up caches which we didn't like to leave behind or which we passed during our today's target caches.Tftc RoddyC

After a last minute change of plans yesterday, , headed out west today to try and do the whole Running Man geoart series. I had solved the majority of these before leaving NZ, but did need a nudge from the CO after arriving in Oz, to get me on the right track for the remaining few.A pleasantly warm winter day today with 33 degrees, , so my initial plans from weeks ago of walking a route to get as many as possible were scrapped and driving as close as possible was now the order of the day.A nice quick find here, with the spow. Still at 100% find ratio so far... TFTC

Out for a morning with Gunnie 69. He had done most of the solving on this series. Most were found quickly, and some had us stumped!Apologies for the generic logs, been a little slack in logging! TFTC RoddyC

The second cache in this series for NurseyJulie and I this morning and already a theme was appearing for the container type. That will certainly help as we go on... A short walk to this one and the cache was not elusive for long. A brief search and we had the cache in hand and our names in the log.Cheers RoddyC.

Id forgotten all about this series all the way over this side of town. Out today to clean up a couple more needed.

Great day with DisSister and Muggle65 today. Beautiful day and a very enjoyable stroll. Thank you for a fun series

A plan was hatched to go for a walk and collect all the caches in this well laid out geoart today. We had great weather conditions and enjoyed our exploration of the reserve and surrounds as we hunted. All caches found safe, some proving more challenging to both find and solve than others. Thanks RoddyC

The main objective for our stay in Brisbane was to complete the 'Running Man'Worked our way through the puzzles conversing with the helpful CO along the way...It slowly appeared to me, but the checker said no, and frustration set in before the CO said I was missing something...oh dearToday was the day with the CO and hatzofff in attendance we drove, e-scootered, walked our way along the well defined pathways signing the logs and performing maintenance as required...Quick find here today, TFTC RoddyC

Today, I spent the day with georode in the Logan LGA area for a number of recreational activities: a paddle, a run (Running Man), fishing (for caches), and finding a few challenges.
The morning's rain was relentless as we questioned our sanity to geocache, but during our walk in Boronia Bushland Reserve, the rain subsided, and we started to enjoy our finds. The day commenced with a short kayak session in Scrubby Creek, followed by the completion of the *Running Man* geoart. A few extra Boronia Heights geocaches were found as we travelled around the area, and then made the detour to Logan Gardens Water park for a couple of strategic reverse Wherigo TOTT caches. The day was finished with a visit to Burbank Bushland for a couple of laughable challenges.

Georode and I found this cache during our walk in the area, and the rainy clouds were playing havoc on our GPS devices, bouncing around in amongst the trees. After a short search, we located this cache, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks RoddyC for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Out for a daytrip in this area with Davidwazza for some caching.

This geoart was one of the main targets for the day. The puzzles were solved over the last year, although for some of them I needed strong hints to get to the solution. All in all a great mix of puzzles and a nice area for hides.

More (mostly unimportant) information can be found in my caching friends comprehensive log

Thanks for the geocache

I've met up with joojoo57 and Richmond Lad for some puzzle solving, but first there will be some cache gathering [^] Our targets are a few more from this series. Pleased to say there were no failures. TFTC, RoddyC .

Out and about caching and doing some of the Running Man caches along with joojoo57 and IolantheK. Weather was perfect! Found the caches in their various locations and signed the log. TFTC RoddyC

Out to find a few of the Running Man series before it gets a bit warmer today. All the ones we had on our list were found and all in good condition. Thanks RoddyC for the series.

Over on the southside for some caching therapy and to visit some friends. Fathers day is hard for those that have recently lost a Dad and I guess it is also hard for those dad’s that have just lost a family.
Out with the Triple Turmoil’s for a late afternoon drive, to grab some caches and to brighten up everyone’s day. What a lot of fun we had chasing some of the running man series. Solving the puzzles turned out to be a joint effort as there were a couple I had missing and a couple Mischa had missing. A nice exchange of ideas and away we went. We found all our target caches today, signed the logs and replaced the caches as we found. A nice series and some nice hides thank you for the hides and the puzzles. We will be back to finish off the series.

With Chamad in the area it is easy to make a quick decision to go caching. So we ran to these, ran through them. Well, at least the ones that were solved. We have a few to go yet. Maybe slow and steady wins the race....

Sunday. Nice quick find here today! Loved this area and loved the grass with all the native trees around. We saw lots of kangaroos on our trip today!

This was the 12th of 26 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***RoddyC*** for showing us this place

Mrs Slow Puncture and i decided to meet up with our push bikes and find some caches around here. All up we found 28 caches and 1 DNF over a 4 hour bike ride . My geo work friend and i had so much fun solving these puzzles . There are a few things we always do when looking at a puzzle and this time the thing we do second helped then what to do next we saw it and solved it just over one lunch break. At GZ i thought i found gold but better than that it was the cache. Thanks for all the fun

Needing a few more caches to reach a milestone so I targeted a few of the Running Man series. Arrived close to GZ to park the car and a short walk along the track before heading off it then I soon had the cache in hand, log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

I had walked past this one as there were muggles approaching on the path and I found another cache and came back to find this one. This time the coast was clear as I disappeared into the trees.

Another quick find.. Now looking at the approaching storm and decided that I had time for one more find before I had to worry about it.

TFTC RoddyC

Found it
All good dry
Thank u
Never been to this area before

Out for another fun Friday with Peppa, Pirate Linda, giraffe 18 and Blk Thunder. One of the Last ones for the year

Found

Thanks for the solve Peppa.
Out with PirateLinda and Peppa and 2MT and BlkThunder.

Found with Peppa, Giraffe18, 2manytrailers and BlkThunder. Peppa did the solving we all did the driving today

It’s been awhile since we’d visited the Running Man Geoart, so with the whole crew available plus Blkthunder we met at Browns Plains Maccas and have worked our way here…

This puzzle had me… I couldn’t get it… I thought I had it… and I didn’t… then a nudge from the Brainstrust and I was set…

We pulled up as close as possible and set off, and thankfully soon had the now familiar container in hand… tftc…

Logging as part of the placement and maintenance team.

Out for a day of caching with KerriMG and we decided to go south and collect some solved puzzles.
I liked this puzzle for it’s simplicity but cunningness.
At GZ it was a quick find.

Left some swag.

Very fortunate enough to have been invited by the CO to assist with the beta testing and cache placements of this terrific Running Man geo art series of interesting puzzles. Since then I have been slowly trying to solve each one but as in most cases with there being unique puzzles, of course I've had to resort to several PAF's.

Good puzzle & hide.

TFTC RoddyC

Out on the southside picking up a few target caches, in particular the Oxley series and Runner geoart, with lots of others grabbed along the way.

Find #11089 @ 11:17
Thanks RoddyC for giving us a reason to visit.

E_Smiley and I were out for the hunt for this one. As we approached GZ, there was a rather large cough nearby.
We turned around to discover that Karicka was seeking this one too!
We all made the find it together.
Thanks RoddyC,
Domsky 

Hargas House of Ribs the only eatery that knows how to feed you when coming off nights.

Clever puzzle. Caught up with karicka's family here.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here RoddyC.

Pre event caching in the area.
A puzzle solved in the weeks leading up to the event.
Ran into a pair of the usual suspects here. A huge gum tree was home to many birds
Thank you for hiding this geocache RoddyC

This puzzle tricked me I had to admit and I had to have someone point something out to me that I had missed. Got a bit confused at GZ because I had two puzzles listed here but this was definitely the right one. Thanks for the cache

TFTC smile 9430 ?? out and about with miss millie geo dog ?? very pleased to of been able to help the CO RoddyC in placing these caches so now I can log them ???? ?? great cache great friends great day FP
Thank you, RoddyC, for placing this cache for our enjoyment. ????

I was actually still in this suburb when this cache was published, having just found a couple other caches in this series. I pulled over to have a quick look at the puzzle but with only my phone and without my reading glasses, I was never going to have the right resources to come up with a solution. Even if I did solve it then, it would have only taken me back to the exact spot I had just visited earlier .

Back home on the computer and with a later subtle change occurring with the cache page, I had the right resources to hand to come up with a new destination for this puzzle. Popping in on the way home, I headed off towards my destination, passing a dog walker heading in the opposite direction. With the coast clear, GZ was quickly spotted with my torch and my name added to the logbook after the previous finders. Exiting from GZ, another dogwalker was heading down the path and seemed to give the stranger emerging from the bushes a rather wide berth. TFTC

Checked

Spurred on by imkyra's message this morning that they had solved this puzzle we threw ourselves back into the fray & before too long had two more added to the list so this afternoon we decided on yet another run south.

Quickly solved by imkyra despite elements of confusion which continued all the way to GZ. [?]
Once where we were meant to be this was a nice quick find.
Not quite as quick as some but nevermind, nothing wrong with an occasional STF!
Made our mark & replaced as found.

TFTC RoddyC

EDIT: ***FTF*** jointly with imkyra (once minor glitches were corrected)

Until I can sort out an issue when able to get out from Hospital

Joint find with VC.
