Sent CO a photo of what it maybe should be attached to

"spos" made no sense but a quick find anyway & T4TC:-.

Didnt find this one tonight with @Lacuna__

Its colour helped

Finally found a pile of twigs 10m from path. Tftc

Gotcha! Out and about with Davinells. Thanks for the cache Cheers

Needing numbers for my next milestone, I met up with wayn0 to ride the Redlands trail. We spread out and searched for all around, tried a PAF, searched some more and wayn0 finally found it.Tftc OddiewanFind #4893

Pretty hard to find with all the build up of twigs and leaves. TFTC

Nice hide. Very tricky but sighed and placed back. Thanks for the cache.

No prize for me

TFTC I think the coordinates might be a bit off

11.10am
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.
Tftc

Caching today on the escooters

Out caching with geofriends

Some e-scootering in the Redland today.

Something funny today. My GPSR was 20 meters out.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 11:13 AM on July 2, 2023. TFTC, Oddiewan

This one had us walking around in circles until we found the cache TFTC. Co:).

This cache took a little longer to find, hidden further away from the path than my gps wanted me to believe!

Nice find! TFTC .

Finally back in the Redlands to finish off some of the series. You are so lucky to have these great cycle trails. Nice quick find, tftc.

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. This one took a bit more effort but got there in the end . Tftc.

4/11/22 out for a stroll. A trickier find but got there in the end. TFTC

Found with 14NET

Found with the new location! Thanks for replacing and updating

Thank you for the cache and ongoing maintenance.

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 32.033 E 153° 13.041

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 32.044 E 153° 13.045

Distance from original: 70.6 feet or 21.5 meters.

Have moved this one to the other side of the path so it’s further away from the barking dogs

All good to go. Have moved this one to the other side of the path and updated coordinates. Hope this will keeps the dogs happy.

No luck here today.

Only gave it a couple of minutes though because the dog over the fence just wouldn’t stop barking.

TFTH!

Had a couple of goes at this one today. I have to agree it could be missing. Will watch and come back another time.

## We had a look around , the home owners dogs where at the back fence and wouldn't stop barking. I think the home owner has got rid of the cache to stop his dogs barking.. We did give area a good going over With No Luck.

Dnf here too

Oh bugger unfortunately no luck here

.

Needs attention

Today my muggle friend and i decided to take a walk along here and find some smileys. This was the second cache we did not find but probable cache blindness

DNF. Checked all the stumpy areas but no luck

DNF. Check all the stumpy areas but no luck

I went straight to the wrong stump, but after a lot of poking, decided it was wrong and followed the arrow to another kind of stump. I was a bit surprised to find it ‘right there’ but everything inside was OK so TFTC.

Not in the place you’d think it was!!!

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
TFTC

Our first thought stumped us, but soon found the real wood.

Today I decided to head out on 2 wheels and grab some caches. This one had me scratching my head for a bit. I decided to have a closer inspection of what I had previously dismissed and found a cache hiding there with an 8 legged guardian, he did not seem bothered with my presence as he just stayed in place . Tftc Oddiewan

Very very cool indeed hats off to the place of this one that hides was one of the best ones we've had so far.

TFTC

This one have us stumped for a little bit

Quick easy find! Love the little hide

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. A very sneaky hide, as our initial search was on the wrong stump! 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 and the history lesson.

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)
Have a FP for this one
Logs signed as RRG to save on log space.
TFTC Oddiewan for putting out this series.

Found today with RR (Ruzzelz Rainers)

I’m racing towards a milestone cache and so with something in mind for that I’ve got to find quite a few caches in the next couple of days… with that in mind this trail looked very inviting…

I imagine I did exactly as the CO expected here…like Crew153 I attracted the attention of a local hound… unlike Crew153 I pretended not to hear it and continued to look…

Thanks Oddiewan for the time and effort that you have expended here…

My final cache in the series.

I had searched a spot when the local hound sensed me and let the neighborhood know so i decided to head further down the track to the next cache and then get this one on the way back.

The hound didn't hear me as I searched on returning and this time I had a quick fond.

Now what will I do to fill in time when visiting my daughter?

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. I should have checked the first area of interest more thoroughly as this is where I found the cleverly hidden cache.
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.

Didn’t stump us! TFTC

After checking 3 other logs and stumps, I located the right one.
Nice fit.
TFTC

I'm loving all these caches so close to home. It's a real treat to look at the map and decide which couple to do
This was the second of my chosen two for today.
I was fairly close on my first pass by but my footsteps stirred a dog into barking.
I retreated until he calmed down, which was probably a good thing as I then saw something that needed investigation. Found it
Log signed and all returned as found.
Thanks Oddiewan.

Not the most obvious stump/log but I like the hide. TFTC

Found it
Nice ride on E Bike
Thank you

Not cycling but certainly getting some decent bipedal exercise today!

After a quite pleasant stroll in to GZ we were rewarded with a really quick find here.
Speaking of quick, or more aptly 'quickly', time and numbers fly by so quickly that both are gone before we realise!
We had an inkling that 9000 finds was getting closer but we don't really focus on or hold much store with milestones so it was interesting to note that this cache was actually our 9000th!
Probably not what a lot of players seek for their 9000th find but we believe a cache is a cache is a cache and all have their own merits.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
We had just left GZ when I detected a slight movement up and to the left of the path.
Changing my angle of view a couple of times I asked Mrs VC "Can you see something up there?" (probably about 7 or 8 metres above ground level).
Moving to the side of the path and looking in the direction I had indicated Mrs VC said "Oh yeah, a Tawny Frogmouth."
We LOVE seeing native birds and animals alive, healthy & free as they should be.
It looks like this cache was worthy as a milestone indeed.
Nature played a wildcard.

TFTC Oddiewan

Clever hide. Tftc

Quick easy find
Great cache

We found this one on our cycle after work on Friday. It was lovely to be out on this beautiful warm afternoon, particularly knowing that it was Friday and Saturday and Sunday were free also.. Who doesn’t love the weekend!
Thanks Oddiewan. All good here, and log signed.

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. Thank goodness I wasn't stumped. Signed the log and replaced as found, now onto another cache. TFTC

Loaded the bike for some morning caching in the Redlands.
So much bike knowledge on offer here
Thank you for hiding this geocache Oddiewan
Find number 23603

This had us first searching around "another obvious" spot but to no avail. However walking back to the geo-cycles we spotted something else out of the corner of our eye and "viola" we had the cache in hand.

Thanks for placing the cache oddiewan.

We decided to go for a cycle today before it gets too hot - our first fail. Loved doing this trail in our old stomping grounds. The co- ords were all spot on and some great caches. Thanks Oddiewan for setting up this trail and for the fab caches.
Loved this. A favourite from us.

*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 searched the obvious hide before following the GPS a bit further and finding the sneaky hide. Thanks for the cache

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

Find #11944 @ 08:57
Thanks Oddiewan for giving us a reason to visit.
