DNF today but found a suspicious hole that could have fitted a cache. Photo of the hole is attached.

DNF today. Found a suspicious hole. Is this where the cache was?

Sorry photo attached on DNF post

Whoops I added the wrong photo here is the correct one

DNF with 14NET

4/11/22 didn’t stay looking for long due to precious dnfs.

Didn't find today appears to have been moved

Couldn’t achieve the right angle to spot this one. Another time!

TFTH!

No luck for me with this one today. Maybe my geosenses were getting tired.

Nice walking trail to find this one

#27 while out on the geo-scooter today. Decided to head south-east for a few. Not so easy find but found it on my return trip. TFTC, TFTH, TNLNSL & TFT

We are moving along ,doing well today.. tftc

All good here
Nice day for a ride after this mornings fog.
While we are in the area we have been doing a few bike trails , this one was a good workout, hides were all fun.
Few quite tricky ones to mix things up a bit
TFTC oddiewan

Good cache

Love these quick finds . Thank you

.

Nice quick find tftc

Very quick find before the midges come out. Tftc

Today my muggle friend and i decided to take a walk along here and find some smileys. We do often ride our bikes together but decided to walk this one. We really enjoyed the 8.6km walk and finding these caches along the way. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Great hide! TFTC

Brisbane, we have now set up camp at Thornside for a few days. Visiting the area to catch up with family & also to do some caching.
We chose this biketrail as Bill loves to ride his bike while I walked a few.
Can't say this is an easy trail as there are many micros hanging in trees which took some time to spot. On the plus side the co-ords were good & some very helpful hints. The DT seemed to be low on this series.
Thankyou Oddiewan for placing this cache.

Quick find tftc

Nice morning for a walk, and of course the opportunity to grab another cache in this series.
This was an incredibly quick find (sheer luck) but I 'm ok with that. After signing log and replacing cache, in same place but not so obvious. Love the container
BTW. Favourite point given for the cache container alone
Thanks Oddiewan.

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

Thanks to Nikid1, is has a new preform container
Thanks heaps

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

Today I decided to head out on 2 wheels and grab some caches. Log was a little wet here but still writeable. Tftc Oddiewan

Another great fine for the little one on our walking adventure. Thanks so much for placing.

Cute little container. Logs a bit wet, will need to be replaced soon!

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. There was no cache container, as the logbook was only wrapped in a plastic bag. We signed the logbook as *RRG* / *RR* to preserve space. Fortunately, nikid1 donated a small container to reinstate this cache properly. 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

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)
I had a preform in my bag so the log is now in that and then rehid where found.
Logs signed as RRG to save on log space.
TFTC Oddiewan for putting out this series.

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.

Found today with RR (Ruzzelz Rainers)
TNLNSL.
TFTC.

As mentioned by others, this is just a bag with a log inside it… and I of course made this much harder than it needed to be…

Sorry I don’t have a suitable container on me for this location… tftc…

Found this one quickly with cacheman...morning out caching (and starting to get warm)
Tftc

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. Not sure what the story is with this one, it was not until we read the logs to find that we are not the only ones who found this one this way. Thanks for the hide, we signed a log and replaced as found. This one needs some fixing but it was onto the next.

Signed. See maintenance note

We found the log. But there is no outer geocache. We placed the log in a Ziploc bag so that it stays as dry as possible. We replaced this back where we found it in a hole in the log. Urgent attention is required!

Found it. Just a piece of paper sticking out. No cache container. Paper too damp to sign.
Will post maintenance required.
TFTC

The cache container is missing. Only the paper is in the hiding place.

I spotted the log paper sticking out of the hide as I approached but it has no container.

TFTC Oddiewan

I’m seeing red at how easy that was!!! TFTC

Found it
Nice ride on E Bike
Thank you

Not cycling but certainly getting some decent bipedal exercise today!

Despite cycling NOT being our forte this is shaping up to be quite an interesting series.
Having done a similar cache a little earlier this was a breeze, especially as it really stood out and was spotted from some distance away.
Needless to say a VERY quick find.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

TFTC Oddiewan

Days are getting longer now so when I got home from work I scooted off to get a few of these close by caches. I found this one easily. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Found it. Tftc

Quick easy find
Very clever

Loaded the bike for some morning caching in the Redlands. Resisted the first to find urge and saved these.
This one was easy!
Thank you for hiding this geocache Oddiewan

This one was actually a very quick find for us today. With "many options" we were expecting to be looking for a while but luckily spotted it fairly quickly.

Thanks for placing the cache oddiewan.

This one totally had us stumped!!! Next time.

*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 was expecting a tough search here but spotted it as soon as I pulled up. Thanks for the cache

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

Find #11942 @ 08:44
Thanks Oddiewan for giving us a reason to visit.
