Mooshie but got it

Found it with no lid & mush for the log. With a TOTT I was able to remove container & poor out H2o but log remains waterlogged. TFTC:-)

Needs maintenance. Tree has grown around it. No lid.

Had to have vice like grip to get it but eventually got it

Tftc

Thanks for the cache and series. Cheers

Needing numbers for my next milestone, I met up with wayn0 to ride the Redlands trail. Nice quick find here. Tftc OddiewanFind #4914

TFTC! Kinda jammed in tight.

Thanks for the cache. The cache itself is very difficult to get out so tweezers are needed. Signed and placed back into its spot.

Not sure whats going on here Found the cache and managed to get the log out with a stick as it was a bit high for me. But the bottom of the container seems to be jammed into its hidey hole.TFTC Oddiewan

11.15am
Out geocaching with Geo friends and had the use of one of their e-scooters which made this trail much easier than walking.
Made a quick find. Log signed cache returned.

Thank you, Oddiewan, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

We had a brief window of opportunity to get out for some caching, so I grabbed Muggle hubby and my geo pooch, Bodhi and headed out to Capalaba . We enjoyed our little walk on the bike path where we were all alone being middle of the day and quite hot here. Bodhi waited with hubby whilst I dove into the bush for a quick find. Tftc

Nav put at us at wrong tree.

4/11/22 out for a stroll and some caching. Took a little longer than it should but an easy find. TFTC

Found with 14NET

Thanks for replacing! I've looked for this one multiple times (in the exact spot haha).

Thank you for replacing the cache Oddiewan.

Have replaced this one again. Hopefully it stays put this time.

No luck at this one today.

TFTH!

Sadly, I couldn't find this one today. After corresponding with the CO, I believe it's missing. I'll be back once I see it's back in place.

We read hint and we thought we were looking in the right spot. We used our tott still no luck here. Now Two D. n.f. in a row.. Will keep heading along the trail. Nice day for collecting smiles.

Found the likely spot , even tho recent maintenance, dnf

Good cache

Another quick one , I hope we keep the streak going lol. Thank you

New container, log and pencil.
Please place back as found so it doesn’t get lost again.

…

Not there anymore looked everywhere possible

Dnf

Today my muggle friend and i decided to take a walk along here and find some smileys. We did not have any luck finding this one but enjoyed the walk

DNF

Nope. Phone led me to lots of places but no amount of poking or digging turned up a cache.

This one was a bit of a frustrating one. Didn’t think the hint helped but found it at last! Tftc

Found it

Staying nearby and decided to walk this series. Quite a long way and some uphill. We enjoyed the ambience along the way and the variety of hides kept us challenged and entertained. Thanks Oddiewan fav point alloc

Out and about with my dad Oddiewan, Semik and Geopup Aneka

This was a great easy cache for a Sunday afternoon of caching

Today I decided to head out on 2 wheels and grab some caches. Clever little hide I nearly went right past it. Tftc Oddiewan

Great hide. Thank you for placing

TFTC

Easy find!

After joining an enthusiastic group of cyclists to explore the trails around the area this rainy morning, four of us continued on to find a few more, including this one. We enjoyed the variety of hides, some tricky, some straightforward, and most were quick finds thanks to the many cachers that we ride with. All up we rode 30km today, signing logs RRG to save space.
TFTC, Oddiewan. =^.^=

This morning, I joined Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) with a morning of finding the *Cycling the Redlands* geocaches series. The rain had magically disappeared from the start of our ride, and it was an enjoyable group session. I then managed to target a few older geocaches in the area before heading home.
In the afternoon, jesswrigley and I headed out and took a walk along Enoggera Creek in The Gap, finding a few of the *On Your Bike* series from #11 to #6. Again, the rain stayed away long enough to have a decent walk along this stretch whilst passing by many muggles similarly enjoying the afternoon.

Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) consisted of bedmakerTG, DisSister, eatmorchikin, JQTB, La Kedi, nikid1, TaxisVW and DrPam, and teamdfl, as well as our esteemed leader Ruzzelz. Meeting at Scribbly Gums, we rode to the eastern end of the trail, with the plan to ride west and collect the caches in the series. We took a coffee break in the middle of the series at the nearby Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre, as well as a few miscellaneous geocaches that we encountered along the way. In total, we rode an approximate distance of 20 km.

We stopped off at this geocache, and it wasn't too long until we managed to make the cache find reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and we signed as *RRG* / *RR* to preserve space in the logbook. Thanks Oddiewan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I ride Scribbly Gums usually every second month so I have been cruising ride past a few of these caches on a couple of occasions. With the New Year fast approaching I decided to test the water on whether a few like minded geocyclists would like to complete the trail.

Now the weather was not looking good but as the ride leader i was duty bound to turn up. Right on cue at the designated start time the rain cleared and a group of many set off to clear the Cycling trail to Redlands.

We set off from Scribbly Gums heading East and then back West to collect caches. After the final western Cycle trail cache four of us pushed on to seek additional caches.

ruzzelz raining (not) ride group all had a great morning on 2 wheels including a diversion to Alex Hill shops for a group session at the coffee shop.

I put my hand up when the call was made as to who would be up for a bike ride around this part of the Redlands.
We all headed out today and found quite a few caches.
Some easy, some hard but all thoroughly enjoyable.
Logs all signed RRG for our group of cyclists.
TFTC

Joined an enthusiastic group of cyclists to make the run through the trails here, stopping every so often to take a wander into the bush or ponder a structure. A great variety of hides, some tricky, some straightforward. Thankful that many eyes made short work of the hunting in most instances and that the rain kindly stayed away. All up we rode 30km today, signing logs RRG to save space. TFTC Oddiewan

Found with a large group of crazy pedalers today. Logs all signed RRG for the group. I don't think I actually found any of the caches myself. I was close at a few, and added our team log to some. Many I did not get near as the group often made for quick finding.

Thanks for the series and the effort to put out so many caches.

A call was put out on Facebook to join up for a bike ride and do this series. Still with a few days of rec leave left I couldn’t refuse. There were familiar faces and a few new ones which is one of the reasons I like these type of events as you can never know too many cachers.
In all we did 20km of riding (we did have to detour off the track for a coffee break)
Logs signed as RRG to save on log space.
TFTC Oddiewan for putting out this series.

Found today with RR (Ruzzelz Rainers)

It still surprises me when I’m not the only person to visit a cache on a day…

A nice quick find thanks to the natural retrieval system…

Thanks Oddiewan I appreciate the effort, time and $$ it’s taken to create this trail for our pleasure…

Found with cacheman and muggle Cade on a morning walk

I had skipped over a cache because of a noisy dog and came here to find my penultimate cache in the series.

I wandered around while the GPS made up its mind and it settled on a spot where I located the cache quickly.


TFTC Oddiewan

Out on a bike ride this morning with chamad tackling the new bike series, along with a couple of others along the way.
A great variety of hides in the series, some very clever ideas among them.
Thanks Oddiewan for the great series.

A morning of caching with willis007 and a day for a leisurely Sunday bike ride. A ride from Capalaba to Cleveland enjoying the recent trail of caches on the bikeway. A nice variety of caches, some very tricky hides and some not so hard. It was a fun morning and by the end of the trail, we were done. We were planning on another ride further afield, but we were feeling a little lethargic from the heat and the humidity and called it a day. We still managed to grab a couple of the older caches in the area on our around and towards home. We were happy with our haul today, we got to take it easy and enjoy the caches and the surrounds.

This was the next in the run of caches along this trail. A nice change in caches here, the hint was all we needed with this one. Thanks for the hide and with the log signed and cache replaced as found, it was onto the next one.

Out with the Geo puppy dog today. First one found. Not sure how many will get through. Nearly lost this one but don’t worry signed and returned

Nice clue
Making it an easy find. But thanks for bringing me to these pathways.
TFTC

Several options where 3 join but we found it eventually. TFTC

Found it
Nice ride on E Bike
Thank you

Not cycling but certainly getting some decent bipedal exercise today!

I must admit our knowledge of all things cycling & cyclist, other than they quite often can cause difficulty in congested traffic & narrow streets lacking cycle paths, is very limited indeed.
We do however enjoy a stroll in search of an elusive cache or four.
This was such a stroll, unimpeded by ANY cyclist traffic or pedestrians for that matter.
A quick 'spot' for Mr VC this time.
Made our ark & replaced as found.

TFTC Oddiewan

Found it tftc

I thought I'd come back and try for a couple more in the cycle series.
I walked right past this one but got it on the way out.
I've never been along this lovely wide path before so I'm going to enjoy these
Log signed and cache replaced.
Thanks Oddiewan.

Quick easy find

Our last bicycle find for the day, and then we turned around and headed back to our starting point. Still many more in this series to collect, and we will be back to collect some more over the next weeks.
We found this one safe and it’s hiding place, and have added our name to the log.
Thanks Oddiewan

Today when I got home from work I thought I'd slip over the road 1 or 2 klms to grab a few caches. This cache didn't require much looking as the co-ords and hint were good. Signed the log and replaced as found, now onto another cache. TFTC

Loaded the bike for some morning caching in the Redlands.
Went bush for this one
Thank you for hiding this geocache Oddiewan
Find number 23602

Not far from the track and a quick search at the "obvious" location and we soon had this cache in our hands, extracted, signed and replaced.

Thanks for placing the cache oddiewan.

"Eat... Sleep... Goecache..."

Another one that escaped us. Are we just getting too hot and tired!!

*FTF*

I noticed these new caches yesterday afternoon and assumed they’d be found before now. But when I woke up and saw that they hadn’t been found, I decided to head over for a bike ride before work.

I found it in the second spot I looked. Thanks for the cache

Left home early to cycle the new Redlands trail, found most without too much trouble.

Find #11945 @ 09:02
Thanks Oddiewan for giving us a reason to visit.
