Refer to my email and cache note.

Not much time to search, and my sunglasses were counting against me, I think. I reckon I'll be back.

Found cache, but it looks like it has been pushed into the hiding spot too far. Attempted retrieval using various methods but no joy. Would the CO mind checking please

No luck today, did find a snake skin, an inflated soft drink bottle, a pair of scissors and a bong made out a soft drink bottle. But it was the mozzies finding Geowife and I that killed the search.

Another day perhaps...

The cache was a little bit exposed, replaced it a bit better than i found it. Great walk around here.

Had a day of caching around the North Lakes area today. We had to wait for a few muggles walking along the track - but once they passed we were able to make a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC

what a tricky little hide. After reading some previous logs we stood back to gather our thoughts and bingo! Freddo had it in hand. Tftc

I found myself reading the description for this cache, having parked closeby and walking along the path. I recalled what a PET bottle prior to inflation looks like and was reminded what PET actually stands for. 'Polyethylene terephthalate'. I always thought it was a great sounding name. The 'phth' sound together just sounds good to me for some reason.

Somewhere among these musings I managed to not watch where I was going and found myself not on the right track and likely on private property. Oops. I set about sorting that out and of course I'd end up bush bashing to a cache that didn't need it on the day I wear my new pilot uniform because I wrecked the last one. Cest la vie for Captain Terror.

Now on the right plane for the cache I looked about. Not here, nope, no, not there, nah, how about there? After a few minutes poking about I finally found it - in the first place I'd looked. I'm sure there was a bat nearby laughing at how blind I must have been. All in good condition as I signed my name and replaced as found. And then took the easy, obvious way back to the car. A nice hide and Happy Birthday to your son (better late than never right?) TFTC ayepeacee

Found with teamridley

Stopped for a few geos after gettin my nails done

Fun night cache looked in a lot of places first. - geogirl with geodad
Tftc

After the previous few, this one was easy nice little walk past the golf course and an easy find. Like the previous cache, I don't think this one was put away properly, but it was still in place so all is good. TFTC ayepeacee.

Got to GZ and Matt spotted it straight away as it was 1/2 out. Signed our names and returned it fully in it's hiding place . All is good with this cache . Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH ayepeacee .

Spend ages trying to be a troll before deciding to go through all the recent logs. Some confused me even more as they seem to lead to troll country also!! About to give up and decided for one more try, tracked via the GPS and the app, Geohubby walking over the bridge and me looking towards the bridge. Sat and stared until it became so obvious I had to smack my forehead and shout "Doh!". Great little hidey hole!!!

Second place I looked ! Am loving this area and wish I lived here but tftc!

Found, while visiting Brisbane.
A few finds for today, all well hidden.
TFTC, ayepeacee.

1/3 ayepeacee caches today, and my only find. TFTC

Great quick find thanks

Finally got this one today tftc

A nice quick find to start the afternoon off lovely a quiet with a few muggles around tftc

Just checked in on this one after the recent DNFs, cache is still in place in the original spot.

Looked and looked DNF not sure if cache was still there

Did not find but found koala instead...

Had another look today still couldn't find if it had teeth it would probably have bitten me. But the good side is saw lots of birds a possum and a kola. Will try again

Found it! Hard to believe sneaky APC cache strikes again!

A quick find on a really hot Sunday out caching in the North Lakes area. Knew from previous logs that playing troll would be a hinderance to our ultimate goal. That left just a few other options and the cache was soon in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Seeker and I out for a morning trundle on the bikes before breakfast. A nice easy one after the other ayepeacee gems. TFTC

This was intended to be a Melbourne Cup numbers run on the geocycle taking in the North Lakes and Redcliffe area. Unfortunately the CO ayepeacee had played with my mind at two previous caches and it took way too long to regain confidence and locate this cache. Why did I not look in that obvious spot in the first place.

Out conquering the North Lakes caches today, we made our way to the gz and I spotted this one quite quickly.

Neat container, thanks ayepeacee.

Great cache...looked left then right and again no more clues...tftc

Almost didnt find but alas there it is says Maldi .... after a lot of scrambling lol,

No luck

Ok, this one took a lot longer then I expected . Found several bottles that were damaged . Then my geoson found it

Tftc nice location and finally an easy find!

We needed find for the day to keep things moving along. Being close we detoured and got a park within 100m or so. As we headed off down the path we saw the structure that awaited and wonder if this would be a long search. We let the GPSr settle and then checked one this , nothing, then checked the other side and made a quick find (lucky for us). We completed the signing duties and then re hid. TFTC

A very good hide on a nice walkway / cycleway. SL TFTC

After meeting ayepeacee the other night (as we struggled to put my cache back together!) he mentioned he had a few caches around North Lakes. After a bit of research I saw they had very positive feedback. Now that he's found all of mine, it was time to find some of ayepeacee's. This was the fourth and final of his for the day.

Finding the cache zone took as long as finding the actual cache. Not being a North Lakes local, I put together a plan and mud map the night before so I'd know what streets to take etc. The probably was I got lost using my own mud map in the labyrinth that is North Lakes. I ended up on the wrong side of the golf course and decided it was best not to walk across a fairway. I retraced my steps and soon found a park in a much better area.

Approaching the zone on foot I saw a great spot for a cache. Unfortunately it wasn't there, and judging by all of the cacher trails down the side of the bridge I had a look underneath. I couldn't find it, so searched beside, before and on the bridge, all with no luck. Went back to the first position and tried again - this time with success! Just needed to look a little harder!

Thanks for another challenging cache ayepeacee. I did intend to finish all of yours today, as well as those belonging to Brightskies and Nyssaflutterby, but your darn banksia took much longer than expected. I'll be back for the rest of your caches, including that interesting sounding multi.

No. 141

This cache took me much longer to find than it should have. I read all of the hints and logs and descriptions, but was still looking in the wrong places. I was also looking for something that looked rather different from what it turned out to be, all because of the description. I actually thought it would look like a mini soft-drink bottle! Nope, it didn't. After about half an hour of searching, with both Geodaughter 2 and 3 falling asleep in the pram on the bridge and a need to leave in order to pick up Geodaughter 1 from Kindy, I finally decided I would have to use PAF. The PAF contact who had found it most recently couldn't remember which cache it was, out of the hundreds she has found in the last couple of months. The other PAF contact, who had found it last year, did remember it, but thought it was missing again. She did point me in the right direction though and confirmed that I shouldn't head into troll country. As I read her text, I noticed something about the bridge that I hadn't noticed before. I checked the same feature on the side of the bridge that the GPSr was pointing to and there it was! If I had spent less time convinced it was on the way to troll country earlier, I would have found it ages ago!

Thanks for another great cache ayepeacee .

Sometimes it's hard to know when to trust the GPS and when not to. We spent about 5 minutes or so looking before trusting our own instincts and quickly found the nicely concealed cache right where it should be. Thanks ayepeacee.

Another nicely hidden and constructed cache! I'm really enjoying my exploration of North Lakes so far . The GPSr wanted us a little further away, but widening our search and also consulting the logs had us with cache in hand soon enough. Enjoyable hide, TFTC, ayepeacee. =^.^=

On our last visit to Brisbane, ayepeacee placed this cache and we were hoping it would be published. Unfortunately this only happened after we left and we have been waiting to get back and find it since then. Turns out the cache was in the first place enzo looked, unfortunately it wasn't the only place we looked. But still, we love these kinds of hides and this was a particularly good one. Churr bro. TNLNSL TFTC

Found @1100

I was down there a month ago and looked and looked and had to log a DNF Much to my dismay!!

After reading the recent logs I knew I had to try this one again [B)]

MrGarmin took me right to GZ and I reached down and quickly had the beast in hand. Now I know I did look there last time

Makes me wonder how things like this can happen [:(!], talk about cache creep [?]

Love the container. log nice and dry

Find #754 at 13:58. Palopinto headed a little bit further than necessary as I leaned down and grabbed the cache. I like that container -- must try to find me some of those! [^] MissGeosie then had to retrieve and replace the cache for herself moments before a muggle came strolling down the path. TFTC, ayepeacee -- love this little neighbourhood you have here!

As EngPhil mentioned, I headed down a little too far into troll territory before realising exactly where the cache really was. A nice little hide and a nice little container. TFTC!

After receiving an email from a finder, it turns out the original cache was some metres away lying in the garden , its all been cleaned up and back in its original hiding spot and co-ords updated accordingly =)

maintenance =)

What an experience this cache has been..... And I'm not even sure I can really call it a find? After many attempts at finding the cache on previous days and no luck, I came back for another look. After searching for a while, I finally had in my hand what I thought to be the cache. And a small part of my sanity back. Although the cache seemed like it may have gone for a bit of a wander from it's original location. After signing the log book and placing the cache back where I had found it, I let the CO know that it may have crept a tad. Walking away from the cache I was rather happy knowing I had not let it beat me.

But then I was to find out that it was the original cache that went missing earlier. Argh! I still hadn't found the crazy cache that was causing me sleepness nights (well not really, but it was really bugging me).

So here I am, beaten by the cache! With no means of redemption. But hey, I did find the original cache which is now back in operation, so it's not all bad.

TFTC ayepeacee

nice hide, we liked the type of cache it was, very clever

Spent 30 min. On bridge, went over bridge structure, no luck. Lamp post, no luck even the tree branches, no luck it certainly must be a very clever camo hide, or I have cache blindness today I will be back....

Found Ok

Nice hide had to wait for mugglers to pass
Tftc

Out and about today with Net88 and Brother Colin. It was pretty dark by the time we got to this one, but we were on the countdown to Net88's 400. It seemed like a good idea, as I had just got my 400th, too

Net88 and I stayed on the bridge, and BC took the low road, but he still got the cache first I do like the container Very creative use of materials TFTC, ayepeacee.

Accessible from the bridge. Maybe someone could explain to Brother Colin what that means. Oh well he found it the fastest but that was because his face was NEXT to it. Thanks for the cache, another one closer to 400!!!

Out and about this arvo with Net88 and IolantheK.

Hey, I found it didn't I [?]

Great little container.

Thanks for the cache. It is dry and in good condition.

This is all set ... happy caching =)

after a somewhat sus previous log and a dnf before that , I decided to check this one today, sure enough its gone again, going to rethink this hide and replace container ASAP.

@ 15:33 on 09/03/2012. This was my 22nd find of 27 total finds on my birthday today.

Found this sitting on the ground near where GPSr said it would be. Very exposed. Once signed I tried finding where I thought it came from - but not sure I did. Might be worth checking it. Otherwise it's all good.

Found every thing but the cache

Arrived at GZ and had quite a long search inbetween slapping the local mossie population.

Eventually found it, interesting container, have never seen on in this state before, does make sense though.

Thanks ayepeacee

Good hide, well done. Muggles fixing all the lighting halted progress for a while but put back managed stealthily.

Easy to find GZ and it was easy to see where previous cachers had been. The area along the path looks like a flock of turkeys has been through it. Had to wait for a muggle who was interested in the golfers before starting a search. He finally got bored and I started looking, and looked and looked and looked. I, too, found the electric motor winding but the cache took much longer to locate. Signed the log and replaced the cache and was just packing up my gear when the mossies arrived by the millions. Left there in a real hurry.
TFTC

Working on bridge blocked path both sides hope they didnt disturb cach

A couple of expletives were used when this cache was eventually located, took a while, found a couple of golf balls so all was not lost. Decided to check places first searched and came away with a smile on my face. Thanks for the challenge.

Tricky, tftc

Though I'd found it, but no

Found this crossing the bridge

found amongst the mozzies and rain. don't forget the aerogard. great hide thanks

#302

Another one of your caches but I managed to find this one this time making my stats 1 find from 3 attempts today. I almost didn't find it but managed to do so at 16:08.

TFTC.

Edit: I thought I had found the cache in the another object located nearby but it turned out to be rubbish.

A fan of this hide

This was clever. Thanks again ayepeacee.

back in place and ready to go....

After 15 minutes of unsuccessful hunting I made a call to a friend and I was given a hint on finding it.

I had already checked that spot earlier and as I returned for a closer inspection I was muggled by a cyclist who turned out to be the cache owner who informed me that the cache was missing and it had been taken off line only hours before I arrived.

Well, at least I know where to look next time.

Went for a routine check of my caches and this one has been muggled, will be back up very soon.

Tftc quick find with 2 restarted friends

Nice hide.

Was introducing my sister to the world of Geocaching on rollerblades. She found it in about 15 minutes as I was off scratching around somewhere else.

at 10:46. Spotted quickly.

TFTC Ayepeacee. This cache is fine.

We didn't take too long but it is a sneaky hide. Nice walk tftc

I have had this patch of the North side on the radar for a little while and really wanted to tick them off. This morning, teamed with new recruit Bubbly_One, we set sail to turn them into smileys... [^]

A little after 0530, we arrived close by and wandered in. There were a few likely spots but one was spotted quickly. I reached in and secured the find while my off sider was still zeroing in. In fairness though, this was her first "different" hide but one of many she would be availed of today...

Nicely placed in a nice area.

Cheers ayepeacee

Today was the day to be truly introduced to the world of caching by Gunnie69. Setting off at 0530, this was the first location for the day. Gunnie found this one while I was scratching around to the side. Good hide. Thanks ayepeacee

Found after a short walk with the spiders in the garden. TNLN TFTC Thanks ayepeacee

Finally found the little devil. Very devious hide. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice one! TFTC

found with barbbowman and fasted59

so wish i'd txt for a clue before i ended up brown lol...

oh well. TFTC

Found with a hint of "don't look there". Started again, walking slower this time and GPS was spot on. Thanks for the hide ayepeace.

thanks for the help ayepeacee
great hide

Arrived at GZ no prob. Then had a few funny readings so started looking in surrounding area. After finding 7 golf balls and coming up close to a live owl in a tree we were ready to quit, thinking perhaps the cache was muggled.

After half an hour searching GC daughter wanted to take one final look thru the bush, so whilst waiting I thought about where I would hide it. The places were a little exposed and then I had my "Ah ha!" moment ... and there it was. Yeah!!!

Sneaky little hide. Thank you so much for an enjoyable time.

I searched here and there and here again, above and beyond the terrain rating with no luck. Read the description, read the logs. Still it evaded me!! Luckily nobody else was enjoying the path today. Finally it clicked that well I hadn't actually looked there yet and sure enough, there it was, safely tucked away. Arrgh - seriously poor searching technique from the Loki . Interesting container - I had no idea that was how the bottles were made! Very neat. Thanks ayepeacee

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 9:12am. Everything is very quiet today being Show Day. The cache was found in the 2nd place we looked and it is in good condition. TFTC

Found at 1036 with Marg. Took a bit to find but found it in one of the fist place I looked so. TFTC.

On our way back to Brisbane after spending a couple of hours in Caloundra..very short search before Mr Bushies2 found the sneaky cache. Thanks ayepeacee.

1018 - Found this cool cache container at 2:01pm in a well hidden spot. I had seen these before as I have gone on a tour to a south side soft drink manufacturing plant. Found as a few muggles were teeing off on the nearby tee.....Fore. Thanks for the cache and showing us this nice bike track through North Lakes, ayepeacee.

I had read the logs on this one previously and was in for a bit of a fight methinks. I had been beaten by ayepeacee's hides before.

No one around after dark when I approached... thankfully. Initially, all I could find was two sizeable huntsmans I hunted about for a bit and then I noticed something. Is it? Could it be? Ahh yes.. the cache. That is indeed the first time I have ever seen that kind of container - effective as it is.

A well crafted cache and a sneaky little hide. TFTC ayepeacee - and belated happy birthday to you son Congratulations to jasenjanine for getting FTF recently

Sneaky as lol

We found it! Our 2nd 'second to find' this week! Need to get up earlier. Great hide. Very cool. Had the kids going for 15 minutes. Very sneaky. Thanks
