During my travels this afternoon, I parked across the road from this geocache and walked across. It probably would have been safer if I completed this geocache whilst heading home another day, but it all worked out today. The cache was quick to find, and nicely camouflaged. Furthermore, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks C.Ponies for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This morning, [arewethere?](https://coord.info/PR2J301) and I made last-minute plans to kayak Bulwer Island and complete the [Wreck-cellent: Bulwer Island Ships Graveyard](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/WreckcellentBulwerIs) Adventure Lab before it got too hot and unbearable.In the afternoon, I attended [perpulady's 20th Anniversary Eat and Greet QLD](https://coord.info/GCAH924) lunch event in Albany Creek, and it was nice to see such a large crowd support the international visit. Subsequently, there were a few geocaches in the vicinity that were visited, which included a couple of nice walks, but the heat zapped my remaining energy, so I returned home to retire with a pool swim.

C.Ponies I found your cache Old Northern Lights on 15/4/2023, 9:55 am. This is my find 5003 and find # 3 today. A quick and easy drive by. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
 
09-Apr-23
Easy find today. I had a fair idea of what I was looking for. TFTC

#241
Easy find, I know when ever I see this it’s a geocache. Coming back home from an expo as one of the store holders, at club pine rivers.
 
14-Feb-23
Easy as it gets, Tftc!
 
08-Jan-23
Nice easy one! An ambulance passed by while I was searching. It was too busy to stop in the emergency bay and help though. TFTC!
 
29-Oct-22
Today Mrs Woodyrothwell was having an absolute shocker. She seemed to have lost the ability to get in the car without falling over. I’d be jumping in myself when I’d hear something (usually an expletive) and see her back on the ground holding the car door to stay upright.

She hadn’t even had a big night on the shandies to blame it on. I checked in case she had a middle ear infection and had no balance or had misread a prescription label and eaten a whole packet of pills.

No, it was just her trying to get in a car without looking because all her attention was focused on her phone. tftc
 
13-Oct-22
Unfortunately haven’t found yet
 
13-Oct-22
Dnf looked high and low for the cache
 
08-Oct-22
Somehow I missed the turnoff so the ‘park and grab’ turned into a ‘park 800m up the road and walk back down’. Never mind, I needed the exercise. Had to put my thinking cap on for this one. Just the right amount of challenge for a late afternoon effort. TFTC
 
13-Sep-22
WhatcI was looking for...but it still eluded me @ 1st... Anyway, T4TC:-)
 
19-Aug-22
Not to bad
 
03-Jul-22
Got there eventually! TFTC!
 
23-Jun-22
Clever hide. Have seen a couple of these before in the city. Lots of cars passing by so had to be quick but easy grab sign and replace unseen. TFTC
 
23-Apr-22
Headed out for a few caches this afternoon and tried my eye at this one. Nice easy park and find. #1 for today. Logs sheet was soaked so added a dry sheet to the pack. With the log signed, I'm off to the next one. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
 
18-Apr-22
Haha took me and my dad a minute to find but after a fair bit of searching we were successful

Found it! I liked this hide. I looked a bit sus looking for it though! TFTC!
 
07-Mar-20
Ohhh how I hate caching on busy roads, I always manage to make myself look so suspicious, I can't help it..

So as I was trying to search in-between traffic, a giant truck decided to park just in front of me. "Greeeeat" But after a quick look at the logs I came across a hint and spotted it straight away.

Find #678 - TFTC
 
20-Feb-20
I was clever!
 
17-Feb-20
Quick find this morning to close out another hole in my caching calendar.

It's becoming increasing more difficult given the distance I need to travel each morning.

I still have about 80 to go but I'm going to give it a crack

Great hide! First of its type we'd seen Smile No issues being spotted, though I imagined (as previous cachers have mentioned) someone may drop by to check if you're in distress cheers for a great morning of caching. TFTC
 
24-Jul-18
Winter the Geo-cat needed a day out, as did Mr & Mrs VC, so we decided a short run across the bridge would be a good way to start our day & pick up a few solved puzzles & assorted other caches.

Trying not to look too obvious to passing muggles in their cars, but not too concerned as they were fairly hooting along, I began to look for the cache.
Fairly sure I knew the location it would be but drew a blank first up.
Then a lady with a couple of kids in the car pulled into the layback to check if I was OK as they had seen me bending over a little back from the Geo-Beast & thought I was ill.
How nice that they took the time to stop.
I explained that I was caching to which they smiled & said "Oh, OK!" before proceeding on their travels.
Back to business & it was a quick find.

Made our mark & replaced as found. Smile

TFTC Smile
