22 Bolts Monterey Keys, Queensland, Australia
By Pigwig2 on 16-Oct-10. Waypoint GC2GRVQ

This one sadly has gone (see pic)

Found with Poynts95 and Sportacuss. Out and about around the Gold Coast, focusing the run mainly West of the Freeway, with Pigwig and Herbz caches featuring heavily, including some nice puzzle pickups. Another great day out in the area. Appologies for the late logs. Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loved the location here, they are big bolts indeed. TFTC.

Today was to be my day. On the way heading north back from the Gold Coast, Ms Maddy suggested I give it another go and today.

After not having my glove on the last visit, I was lucky enough to have one in the car today and this helped to make short work of making the find. I can see how my efforts on the last visit could have been fruitless no matter how long I tried.

TFTC

Round and around we went. It must be here... Persistence was our saviour. TFTC!

#93

Surprised we found this quickly. We were worried it was on the bridge at first since it was closed off but luckily it wasnt. TFTC

S&J

Forgot to bring my gloves and the spiders were around in full force. Did what I could with a stick to check some spots, but had to leave it due to the time getting on and a lot planned for today.

Clever hiding place wouldn't notice it if you weren't looking

Can't believe we found this one! I knew it had to be there, and was just about to give up and gave it one more try... and BINGO! So small! Day two of being Geocachers... Super thrilled to find this.

Far out! Went to GZ straight away. Looked everywhere, I thought. Whats that, another dimension. Lets check it out. After counting in 2's, 4's and 1's from both ends then checking them all anyway i was done. Back to GZ. Its got to be here. Read a few logs. Thinking, looking, thinking, looking and more looking and feeling. Went back to Geotruck for a glove. Way to many spiders and a few with red stripes. Systematically went through them. At the 2nd last things looked bad and it looked like a DNF. Thats ridiculous and awesome at the same time. [^]. TFTC Pigwig2. SL.

Aaaaargh! How did I miss this the last time in this area.

On the way back from an Easter soirée at Tamborine Mountain to work on my writing, I decided to tackle this hide again.

Parked Sooty the cachemobile nearby and with the Dirty Jobs glove in my pocket, waited for a couple of muggles on skateboards to whizz by.

I started at GZ and worked my way out to either side systematically. Gotcha!!!

A simple little nano but impossible to spot and easily missed with the hand. Of course on the previous visit I'd scared off all the spiders, so they saw me coming this time with my big blue glove

Happy to have this one off my to do list!

A FAVE point for the entertainment factor

TFTC Pigwig2!

Caching our way to the Gold Coast with Dansync. Dansync checked this one out earlier in the week but could not make the find, so he brought us here with him hoping that Mrs Hunting Rabbit could get it. Despite the many DNFs if it's there she'll find it. Find it she did!!! We approached GZ as the first of the storms approached, and seeing the fork lightning we sure didn't want to be searching under this big sign for long. Luckily, in her normal fashion, Mrs Hunting Rabbit looked over the whole area and then began picking it apart. Within minutes, the cache was in hand, signed and we were out of there before the storm hit. TFTC Pigwig2...it's definitely still there.

Yup. Even though I was doing pretty well today - locating caches before Mrs Hunting Rabbit did on several occassions - I just couldn't for the life of me find this one - not on Thursday 3 days ago - nor today.

Mrs Hunting Rabbit had it within a few minutes though.

All I can say is... check _everywhere_ that you can't see (but avoid mucking around with potentially high voltages).

Actually very simple but annoyingly difficult. TFTC Pigwig2.

I was in the neighbourhood looking for juicy frogs and came across this cache...

I looked all around and around and then looked around. Then I looked over there. It was a hot day but I decided to venture upstairs and look there also.

I wandered back down and looked around some more. Then I called the cap'n who confirmed my gpsr had me at GZ and in the correct spot.

To be sure to be sure, I did it all again at GZ.

Sorry no luck for me today. Not saying its not there, but I put in at least 30 mins of thorough searching today

Thought I deserved an ice cream and fizzy drink and wandered across the road.

Checked on my way to work this am, it's definitely still there safe & sound

Great hint in the title i realized where it would be super quick but it took some time to find.

Spider! Ants! Awesome!

Saw another GeoFamily trying for this one as we walked to the supermarket. A quick search for the cache and it was in our hands. TFTC

Nice cache dad freaked out when he touched it. O ring broken

Very quiet in the area today so it made for an easier time searching. It had to be in the last one we looked at.
Thanks pigwig2

Very well named ...
Lots of cobwebs
Tftc

Planned a big cache night tonight while on holiday, found this one but plenty of DNFs tonight tftc

Found this cache whilst out for the day with nyssa flutterby. We parked the car and almost headed up the hill until we saw an older couple using the convenient footpath. It took us a little while to find the cache even though we knew what we should be doing. The O-ring is broken on the container. Thanks for the cache

Out and about with Nett88 on the Goldie to find a few caches. Well the title is very fitting, approaching GZ we certainly knew where we were headed. I'm glad Nett88 talked me out of climbing that big hill After going round and round the mulberry pole I finally honed in on a lovely little cache, although when I undid it the Oring snapped off! Nice sneaky hide!

TFTC Pigwig2

Back for a second look, this time with rain adding an extra element to the search . . but we got it! TFTC Pigwig2

Looked, felt, disturbed spiders, twisted, pushed, pulled and still no cache but we reckon the darn thing's there somewhere!

Found after a lengthy search

I found it this is the second time and we finally found it but I couldn't get the paper out thanks pigwig2.

I found it thanks pigwig2 good hide

Some tree loppers near GZ moved off just in time for me to find this. 3rd time lucky for me

Nice easy find
Thanks Pigwig2 for the cache

As we headed towards this cache we started to think about the possible hides/containers we might encounter. None of these eventuated. When we got to GZ the name of the cache made sense. We started a systemmatic search and soon located the cache. TFTC Pigwig2

Amazing how quickly spiders move back in after previous finds. La kedi left this to me, not being a spider lover of course. Thanks Pigwig2

Bolted for GZ once we'd parked nearby, only to be thwarted by arachnids...shiver. While I was peeking cautiously from a distance, the less terrified The Marble went at it with a vengeance. It was too noisy for me to hear her tell me she'd found it, but the smiling face and raised nano told the story perfectly well. Took me forever to re-roll the log! TFTC, Pigwig2. =^.^=

attended to this

New logbook in place

Will replace log book soon

Log book full. Managed to squeeze in on the very bottom.

Nice hide. Didn't take long to find.

Walking distance form another cache we did just before we couldn't miss this one. The bolts were not to miss as well and soon the cache was in our hands. TFTC Pigwig2.

Found after initially ignoring the obvious! TFTC

How small these caches are always suprise me! TFTC

Finally found this one today. I previously had a DNF but today, with a little push from Stairman1, located the cache. Thanks Pigwig

Canadian grandmother first time lucky. TFTC

Now this took us a little while and was on the right track and just missed it till Geokid did it again.

Found a lizard hiding in a tree and will post the pic, see if you can see him. I think he would make a good hide if only he would stand still.

TFTC Pigwig2

Geodaughter did the bolt from the car looking for what we all expected. No, so away we go again. There you are. TFTH

had a close encounter with a gecko

found with mum (barbbowman) and dad (fasted59)

There were several options here, and I was looking at another bolted fixture up an enbankment, but soon something else caught my attention. Elliott did the quick count to see weather I was right(well he IS a teenager now and you know they like to prove you wrong)I had our namesake running up my arm and a quick dive to freedom.(Scitty,scratchy wriggly little things, who thought of that name?) Oh that is right Mr Elliott himself. Anyway after a closer inspection of ALL the suspect items the cache soon came to hand. Thanks yet again Pigwig?

Yep, there's 22! I know because I had to check them all before I found this tricky cache . Murphy's law in action TFTC pigwig2

Found it on my second attempt. Its amazing what a bit of natural light does to help.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

nice quick find thanks

Thanks For The Cache
found this one while on a Geo-Trek Caching holiday with TeamBooo, Booo's Dad and Booo Booo to Queensland

On a caching holiday with Teambooo (Geo-wife), Booo Booo (Geo-Daughter) and Glenwarra (Geo-in-Law). This was quickly found and in hand. TNLN-SL.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

This morning Gaz'n'Kab and myself decided this one was next. I believe it to be my first PigWig cache. Gaz dropped Kab and I off and I made an assumption and scooted up the hill to walk along the bridge. All too soon the GPS was indicated a couple of metres off the bridge, to where Kab was standing down below. Looking there, the title made sense. Oops. Slid back down and Kab had the cheeky cache in hand ready for me to sign. Are there really 22 bolts? I didn't count but it's always nice to know TFTC Pigwig2.

A quick find for Kab and Captain Terror whilst Gaz went and filled the car up

It was quite amusing to see Kab down below, and Captain Terror up above, lost trying to find the cache

TFTC Pigwig2!

Gaz'n'Kab

First Bolt, once in a while one gets lucky.

I have teamed up with Dad for the afternoon. He found this one, having never seen one he did not know that he had found it. then could not open it.

Yay... The GeoDad found it but couldn't believe he had! Tried to sign the tiny log but decided to just date it!

TFTC Pigwig2

Thanks for the thread of evidence!

After the high of a find now the low of a DNF Pigwig2 I don't have the mind or eyes of a cacher yet. I need a clue for this one too!

Very cool! Tiny!

A nice quick find on a lazy day caching around town, had a few DNFs though.

Enjoyed all the caches today

TFTC

This find has me concerned - I think I'm starting to think like 'Pigwig2' . On arrival, I looked at the bolts and thought for a while. Probably be somewhere like ... and certainly will be .... Took a breath and started searching, and put my hand on it immediately . Signed the log and went away a happy cacher. TFTC [:X]

Oh my goodness - this is a Pig Wig 2 cache too! We have found 3 of yours today - amazing! What a great little tiny teeny weeny cache - the smallest we have ever found. It was getting dark as we approached this cache's area and I said to Adrian and Bryn, 'Look chaps to have found 5 out of the 6 we set out to find today isn't bad - we should not expect to find a micro in such little light'. No sooner had I said this that Bryn went 'Ahhhh wait... found it'.
Thank you Pig Wig 2 - will upload some pics too.

This cache had given me some grief previously. After meeting Pigwig earlier in the day I made this a must do cache. With dosshell we set off for it. On the way we drove past another cacher checking out where I new there was a cache, so we stopped for a chat. None other than Culture 50. Any way we all set off for the cache. Thankfully I managed to find it this time. Very sneaky.
Thanks Pigwig

Found with Stairman 1 and ???? whom we 'picked up' at a previous cache.

TFTC

Byercat, M-Dolphin went with us to hunt this one, found signed and returned SL TFTC

Love Pigwig2 caches because they are so clever. Thanks Pigswig2

Took a little searching but we came up trumps and had the log signed in a short space of time.Thanks Pigwig2

Nice one have fun with geocaching tFTC

I have been here three times and now I have finally found it. I am sure I looked there but maybe the ants put me off last time. This time I came with Rifferous and he brought me luck. Thanks Pigwig2

Wow, haven't came across one of these before until today. Good fun find. When I found it I knew it was the cache. I just wasn't sure what I had to do with it. After turning it over in my hand I realized it must open some how. And sure enough it did. Glad I had a pen on me. TFTC

Great fun!!

Found with TuisReturn, logging finds now back in NZ tftc

Got it, no problems extracting log TFTc

Easily worked out where it was located. But, then, it took ages, to actually find.

22 bolts by name and we may have lost some screws finding it. TFTC.

We thought the name of this cache was going to make this one an easy find - some 20 mins later, we finally had the clever hide found - thanks Pigwig2 - enjoying your hides

Great hide, had us looking for a while. Don't ever assume that three other people have checked everywhere. Nice one Dave, good find. Tftc pigwig

Please not to have to climb the ramp to get this one. Found the cache after a short search but did not sign the log due to the lack of a log extraction tool. TFTC

This cache frustrated us in the past but today we conquered this mighty cache!
TFTC!

A quick find whilst enjoying a brisk early walk.

Great little hide TFTCSL

First for the day ,and what a great hide

SL fantastic TFTC

A nice quick find. TFTC.

Quick find on way to lunch for mother's day

TFTC

This was fun.
I wonder why they have two gaps.
TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 12:14pm. We spent a lot of time looking in the wrong place but once we got to the real GZ we found the cache quite easily. TFTC

Checked today.... still there!!

No find for me on this one.

No luck with this one today. We searched high and low. Will have a look next time we are here.

This one had us completely stumped. After searching in what we thought was the obvious place Stairman1 and I broadened our search area. We searched high and low, in and out, up and down and nothing. After an hour of searching it was time to go and pick the kids up from Wet N Wild. This one has beat us.

Found it No. 3289 ... once we found the ants we knew we on the right track ... TNLN ... TFTC

A tricky hide, Lokipagan was there to watch. After checking the more obvious places (but wrong ), I set about a systematic search, eventually I found what I sought. A nice hide, thank

Poked prodded and focussed in on the wrong areas for way too long despite Fangsoki telling me it probably wasn't 'there'. Sure enough, he had the right idea! After a slow start to the morning it was nice to find this one, even if there was some cache blindness involved initially . Thanks Pigwig2
