Wishful Thinking Mount Samson, Queensland, Australia
By PesceVerde on 06-Apr-08. Waypoint GC1AYZ8

The GZ needs some time to recover from effects of foot traffic. Will check again soon.

Disabling this cache. The container has gone missing for some reason and GZ has changed somewhat .

The first/original GZ is exposed again but may now be unsuitable for a cache. Will recheck soon.

Seems that this one has eluded me today, I found a few things that matched the hint, including a small spot that a container could have fit in, but nothing that looked like a cache.

Oh well maybe another day.

TFTC

Great spot for a picnic

Tftc. Out and about with my jet for some school holiday geo caching. A beautiful spot!

First find of the day with team Pyne and all our geokids A very nice spot near the lake. Thank you

Nice easy find for the geo kid

Thanks for the cache

Followed the well worn track right to the cache. TFTC

TFTC. Lots of fun. Thanks

We missed this one on our wingaap/Samford road run a couple of weeks ago so I took the opportunity on a glorious Monday morning to get it crossed of my To Do List.
The clue helped zero in on the find.
TFTC

GPS took me the complete wrong way but still got there in the end! Third find for the day! TFTC

A nice off the road, safe to park the car find. LCTN

Found in the company of ManicWombat and Bulldozer72 whilst going on our scenic drive for the day. TFTC

Nice quick find as the cache was uncovered. It was so hot today the container was too hot to hold for long. Log signed and cache returned with some cover. TFTC

Found the cache accidentally while hiding from some muggles. Serendipity!

Compass took me off into the bush on entirely the wrong direction. Persimoirre found it whilst hiding from some muggles.

This cache took us quite some time to find, but after widening our search we found it.

Team LJCC teamed up with Angela for an 'excellent cache adventure' day out. Firing up Blue Thunder we headed from our normal stamping ground to out west.

After a string of wingaap caches coming from the south, we thought "What's this? Who's this?" The answer is PesceVerde. Excellent, a cache by another cacher in the region.

So in we trundled. Promptly into the bush on the wrong side of the fence. So out we trundled again and then in on the correct side. The cache was soon in hand, thank you PV!

We strolled down to have a look at the beautiful secluded park. Whilst we were there, another car rolled up into the parking lot, saw Blue Thunder and/or us, and promptly scooted away again. Perhaps, this park was not currently as secluded as they were hoping for! We will never know...

Out and about, caching with Team LJCC.

We saw this one pop up on the Georadar and turned Blue Thunder in its direction.

Oh! Lookie over there! We headed for the cache first and located it quite quickly, once we found the easiest way in!!

Then, on to look at the water!! Ooohh! Pretty!!

We hung about for a little while, taking some pics and looking up at some birds nests in the trees.

Would have been SO nice to just jump in for a cool swim!!

Everything in good condition TFTC

Grabbed while on a Sunday drive. TNLNSL.

Out and about on a sunny Friday morning with muggle K for caching and lunch.

We pulled up nearby and scooted over to GZ, for an easy find

This is a lovely spot to inspect the lake! Looking forward to the next visit

Happy to be out with a friend and making some smilies today

TFTC PesceVerde.

Out with /dev/gc0c and Net88 heading northbound towards Dayboro grabbing caches along the way and we pulled in to this one. Thanks to Mr. GPSr's limited capability I couldn't match up the 2000 photo to the current area, but nice to look at afterwards and wonder.

We had the area to ourselves - sometimes wishful thinking but not today - and so headed in for the hunt. Once where the GPSr indicated, the cache was a quick find and sign job. All in good condition today. TFTC PesceVerde

Found this cache whilst out for the day with Captain Terror and /dev/gc0c. We had originally planned on doing the Samsonvale area but as the day went on we found ourselves further and further north . We pulled up and headed over towards the cache. The Captain and I took different paths in but ended up at the same place anyway. The cache was found without any issues and the logbook is well and dry. Thanks for the cache PesceVerde.

Straight forward find walked into the middle of nowhere and found the cache... not quite. Followed Captain Terror and Net88, they magically found it, yay!
TFTC

no need for clue, it's all in the co-ords.

Having a caching day its such a fabulous sunny warm day TFTC

Not as hard as I 1st thought. Nice hide

Cache all good

A nice find on an afternoon of caching.

Easy find TFTC

Mooselings were are the movies with Grandma Moose today, so Mrs Moose said, "Use your time wisely." So I went a-caching. How tucked away and hidden is this place? Parked the car and followed the geotrail to gz for an easy find and sign. I then went to the water's edge to admire the serenity. Thanks for bringing me out here PescaVerde

Took a little while to figure out which side of the fence we were on (yes, we should read more carefully), but with hint in hand we found the right place and signed the log. All is good with this cache. TFTC.

Got in the car, saw a tracker heading our way and quickly drove off to this cache. LOL it wasn't until 200m down the road that we realised we had passed it. After turning around, we discovered the cache is 40m from where we parked the car for the other cache (doh). LOL .

This took a little while to find but the hint helped . All is good with this cache . Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH PesceVerde .

Great day, school holidays and people nearby fishing. My first Australian Geocache thanks for the cache.

We pulled into this little spot and quickly made the find, before continuing on to the lakes edge to take a look. We found someone had been camping there overnight, as there was the remnants of a campfire and I felt the coals, which were very slightly warm to touch still. It looks like a great spot for a picnic (not sure if camping is allowed or not) with awesome views across the lake and tucked in away from the road. TFTC

nice hide... never been here before but ill return lovely pozzy ...all good with cach...TNLN-SL

Out with teamdfl on a Wacky Wednesday A last quick grab before we headed to Dayboro Pub for lunch, and dfl made the find. Now for steak and a beer! TFTC, PesceVerde.

Our wishful thinking was currently the pub. Mmmmm steak and beer here we come. A nice little cache to distract us from lunch on the way to Dayboro

Couldn't find this one today will have to come back

Out today doing some radio repair work up at Oceanview and decided to drop in and grab this cache on the way back.
Good this there was a hint with this cache as I look right where the cache was and missed it completely

The cache is dry and in good condition [^]

Well hidden TFTC

Tftc cheeky one

What a lovely spot that is hidden away, Thanks for bringing us to this spot and TFTC [8)]

stopped and had a look at the lake and grabbed a couple of caches.nice spotsl.tnln.TFTC

Don't waste your time bush bashing too much!

Beautiful spot..no problems here .. left slinky TFTC

After lots of unnecessary searching finally found. New GPS was 8metres off in the dense trees.

Found this one after a minute or two searching. The hint is very helpfull and led me straight to the cache. A few people out fishing today but well out of site of the cache. TFTC

I haven't noticed this little area before, might have to bring the fishing rod some day. TFTC PesceVerde!

Another great day for some geocaching. Soon had the cache found. SL TFTC

Nice easy one, good for the kids

Quick thanks for the cache

Iwas out and about in the monster truck with the beautiful Brightskies and my mini munchkin. We had found ourselves quite a few caches and this was the next one on our list. Seeing as Brightskies had already found this one she waited with MM in the truck. I waited for a small group of muggles to go past then disappeared into the scrub. A quick search soon had the cache in my hand.

I have been to this little area quite a few times birding. Always a pleasure.

TFTC PesceVerde

Started heading the wrong side, but after re-reading the clues we were able to locate cache quickly.

Cache and log all good. TFTH

woops

wrong side

got my pony tail caught on mywire

Found it on a tour of this lovely area. TFTC

found on my drive from Dayboro to Samford after Dayboro Day celebrations
lovely view out over the water in late afternoon
cache was exposed - i guess no one goes into the bush there - so i covered it better before leaving
this is a good place for a cache, good parking, lovely view, and one can have a geo wee in private

If you are in to fishing then you could probably spend all day at this picturesque spot.

Had to take a stroll down to the lake (sorry "impoundment" - what an awful word!) whilst some fisher-muggles slowly packed up and after viewing us strangely drove off. Then into the cache, sign and out before the next fishers, "angled" their way up to us.

Not too hard to find but had to be careful of muggles picnicking.

Learnt 2 things: 1) Don't wear orange clothes when GCing, 2) use max zoom on GPS to get best directions - walked in a few circles until I realised I could zoom further, then went directly to the spot.

A nice, easy find while on our way down from Mt Mee today . There was a family carrying their picnic down to the lake when we arrived, so after waiting for them to disappear … i swooped . The cache is in good condition and dry.
We had already had our picnic lunch at Mt Mee, but this would have been a very nice place to have it well [^]. The kids were asleep in the car, so we couldn't even make our way down to the water … maybe next time. TNLN. Thanks PesceVerde

First day of a new month, and my slide towards OZ MEGA next weekend continues. Nine hundred and something finds so far, should slide in with ease to the one thousandth being the MEGA. Today's goal is to clear the northwest closest two dozen unsmiling boxes off the map.

And at 20kms from home, this is as far in this direction as I'll go today. What a lovely spot - I didn't take a long look, but there were a lot of families gearing up for a lovely day on the shores of the lake. Gorgeous spot.

Thanks for taking me out here PesceVerde. Cache is all good.

Nice and quick drive past. Didin't know that lake and park was there. Thanks for letting me visit it. TFTC

Have been here before, and it is a pleasant spot. Found the cache with no trouble, juts a bit of muggle avoidance required on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the cache, Andrew & Maryan.

another good one for the kids... TFHC

Got a few scratches but was easy. Nice area, tftc

Nice quick find while cruising through the area. A few guys fishing nearby. Good evening for it. Found cache signed log and retuned. All dry and well.
Thanks

Decided that the best way to start the New Year was to spend a lovely day outdoors and pick up a few caches along the way. Cache is in a good condition. TNLNSL TFTC .

Great views of lake from this spot TFTC

Found on a beaut day.

Quick find. Log dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks PesceVerde

Nice easy find. Took a stroll down to the lake – great spot. Didn’t notice the TB in the cache.
TFTC

Team micra had just had a painful and unsuccessful attempt at hipathihites up the road and needed a cache to boost the ego a bit. Have driven past this park a number of times but have never stopped. Nice little spot. Used the hints for an easy find. Took TB. Left stretchy man. TFTC.

A great spot here for a picnic and some fishing.

Great location and seems like a good place to drop off Butterfly for a short rest before someone else passes by and collects. TFTC.

Beautiful lake! The cold wind was making ripples all along it today.
There were 14 black swans our there this afternoon
Unlike fisherw0man, I'd never been here, so I thoroughly enjoyed the visit (though I'm sure we all did!)
Cache is all well! Nicely hidden away! I can't believe there used to be no water visable from here! Crazy!
There is some pretty gross rubbish on the road side of the fence... sorry I didn't have appropriate CITO equipment today. I should be better equipped in the future.
Thanks PesceVerde. This was the final for our caching adventures today, and was a lovely location to end on.

There's a new small container & logbook now back at GZ. If someone happens to find the previous cache, it's yours if you want it but please let me know (it's bugging me a bit). Hopefully this one will stay put.

After signing the log, check the H2O.
The picnic shelter there is no more.

I was meeting up with Fangsoki nearby and thought "just one more" before heading up Hipathites Road.

After a bit of search I checked the hint. After a bit more of a search I read the logs then stopped searching after reading that even the owner could not find it.

"Wishful thinking" alright. A big old DNF for me.

Nice lake though.

Sad...
Couldn't find it, we could see where it should have been,
but looking at the previous logs, there may be a reason why...
Another cacher also found us at GZ and called out to us,
"I found that one a few months ago, Good luck"
...but he kept going to the lake with his grandkids fishing,
pity he didn't introduce himself,
However, thanks for bringing us to this great spot!
...another case of "If it wasn't for geocaching..."
Might I suggest if you can't find your own cache,
maybe you should archive the cache...

Called in to check on the cache today and it wasn't there, unless it found a new hidey hole thereabouts. Will have to return and start a real search.
Can I claim a find on my own cache? Hmm?

Last day in wet Brissy, and time to pick up another 30 or so caches to get to find 7400.

Thanks for the cache, and for bringing me here.

TFTC

tok longer than it should of

Only one group of fisherfolk today. Wet and miserable. Couldn't find and the weather didn't help. Will have to try another day.
