Because

Love horses and this one is quite cute. Kutgw

TFTC

So... we run into the horses again. Beautiful and friendly. Tftc. Log is wet.

Loving the animal cache series - this is one of the better fits for the countryside as there is plenty of evidence that ponies have been in the area.

Not quite a black stallion but interested enough in what we were up to

This was awesome! 4 horses walked past and we stopped to let them pass by. 2 of them decided to stick their heads through the car window, the kids thought it was awesome lol

Ride em cowboy. Tftc

Found this one with no problems. Like black beauty. Signed with a smile. Log in good order. Thanks cache maker.

Quick find while staying in the area for the weekend. Tftc

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers, Misssusan79, Remsjw, and Jemillalucy). TFTC!

Found with REMSJW, jemillalucy, mnance101, and bennyboppers. We are also known as the Tough Mothers as sogn in as tm x 5

Away for the weekend with tough mother's to clear up the area. Its been awesome thanks for all the caches.

Tough mother weekend away. Doing a blitz of the area. Tftc

TFTC... 30/9/17. On the hunt in unfamiliar territory with Tough Mothers. Lots of smileys on offer, this is one of them.

We shared our lunch today with a couple of horses, they appreciated the apple but not so much the tomatoes . We passed 5 free roaming horses en route to this cache, thru paid no mind to us though, happily munching in the scrub. Tnsl tftc CM & 2s xo

Love this one

Awesome

Love it

Love it

I headed down today to find a big bunch of caches and this one was included.
I found the cache and signed the log. TFTC

Q. Why do horses like to fart when they buck?
A. Because they can't achieve full horse power without applying the gas.

Out on a beautiful May day with the family, aiming to get 100 caches in one day...wish us luck! Go team! Cache #39

Out on a beautiful May day with the family, aiming to get 100 caches in one day...wish us luck! Go team! Cache #39

This morning we started caching at the junction of the Newell Highway and Pikedale Road and during the day, we gradually worked our way south into Palgrave Road, Loloma Road and Mount Janet Road. We started at about 8:45am and finished the caches on our list as the sun set. We enjoyed the variety of caches and the scenery along the way.

Initially we thought that cache would be missing as we saw horse hoof prints in the sand near GZ - we wondered if the Black Stallion had headed off, Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. Unfortunately the logbook was quite soggy but still signable. Thanks the cache maker for the cache and others you have placed in the area.

Cache log wet but able to stamp. Found with The X-Trailers as we travelled the back roads. TFTC

Found with Earthlight as we travelled down some dirt roads caching
Easy find but log book wet
Able use stamp though
Tftc

Yeehaw, time to get out on the dirt roads of Stanthorpe and pick up some caches. We have had our eyes on this power trail for some time and today is the day. Lots of long grass trodden through, boulders climbed, stabbed by sticks, slips and slides all the geo-caching fun

Along the way we managed to pick up a few letters we needed for animal names for another challenge cache we are trying to complete.

Thanks for all the caches out here on the dirt roads of Stanthorpe.

TFTC!

TFTC, very clever hide

Tftc. This is a late log. Went on a caching trip back on August 28/29 2016. Did over 350 caches over the weekend and only managed to log the rest of it now. The girls took me out for a bday weekend caching. Found with chasing adventures and Thehinds of the Triple threat crew

A wonderful weekend away in Stanthorpe resulting in 374 finds, including 22 mystery (Stanthorpe Apple) and 1 Earthe cache. I hoped to log each individually as I usually would but the tyranny of time prevents me from continuing to try and achieve this goal. A big thank you to all the Stanthorpe CO's. We said many times we wish we had more consolidated trails in Brisbane. TFTC

Very clever container! A quick find and a big smile from me

Love the animal themes

Off on a trip up North we decided to do some speed caching, managed to bag some 254 over the weekend. A great time away although short really enjoyed the caches and naturally the area.
Many thanks to the cache maker for the cache TNLN TFTC SL.

In the North this weekend and decided to do a caching run, on our weekend we managed 254 finds. Really enjoyed the caching during our adventure.
Many thanks to the cache maker for the cache TNLN TFTC SL.

Out with Cachemeifyoucam to run around the area and get as many caches as we can. Really good series, enjoyed all of the finds

TFTC. Catching up on some unfinished business from June 2014.

One of the many caches we did on our Pike-Granite & Rockland Roads loop !
Big Thanks to All the Cachers who placed them All !!
Signed logsheet 25/04/2016 2:50 pm and replaced all as found.
the cache maker - TFTC.

Tftc. The log is damp. Nice drive reliving childhood memories of coming out here as a kid

A return visit to Stanthorpe to hit the geocaching trails again. All good here.

TFTC

Approaching this road i thought is this private property? Anyway i continued on knowing there was caches. Went past the house with horses and a big white old queenslander and thought god i hope i am not on private property.... Nice spot. Thanks for the cache.

Tftc

Found by "D" as we spent a second afternoon finding some of the many caches nearby. Signed log. TNLN Thanks to all the cache owners who have taken their time to place so many caches in the area.

We set aside today to challenge ourselves to find at least 150 caches in a day. Before last Mega in Stanthorpe, we had cleared the middle section of the AS Series, so this challenge meant starting at the bottom, then later moving to the top section, then back down the highway towards Stanthorpe until our target was reached. Apologies for this generic log: unless noted below the caches were in good order and available for future hunters - in some cases this meant stopping awhile longer to replace a log, and/or clean out the cache.

(Replaced log book - with Diamon JS)

Found at 1:52pm on 8th December, 2015. TFTC.nd at 1:00pm on 8th December, 2015. TFTC.

Watch me whip, watch me nae nae. You've been bear'd

I was spending the weekend in Warwick and decided that it was about time that I found a few more of the power trails around here. I had a couple of hours and headed out solo and found 32 in a couple of hours

The trouble is trying to remember individual caches when you do power trails.

Thanks for putting out these caches for our enjoyment.

This one took a while to locate.

Smilie #2980

At a bit of a loose end so we decided a day just north of Stanthorpe, to clear a few caches we had no signal for on our last few trips south, was in order.
Apologies if some logs are a bit generic but we converted 95 to smilies today!

A short search soon revealed the cache.
Cool container!
As I knelt down, & was adding our mark to the log, I felt a couple of sudden, sharp pains in the side of my right knee.
A bit like needles quickly piercing the skin.
Dare I look?
Will there be more?
Placed the cache back as I waited to see if there would be any more 'attacks'!
No, all good, now to have a look & see what had actually happened.
Thank goodness!
A piece of cactus clung to my trousers where the spikes had penetrated my knee as I knelt on them!
No snake here today folks.
Move along please. LOL ...
After removing the visible spikes, still sticking through my trousers into my knee, I realised there were more still in there.
As I couldn't roll the leg up it had to come down.
Standing, half undressed, by the side of a country road extracting cactus thorns from my knee was so much fun!
Fortunately I completed my manouverings, redressed & was on my way without any visitors. LOL ...

31 of 95 today!

TFTC the cache maker

Found this while House Sitting in Warwick...

A beautiful day to be out this beautiful area as I attempt to clean up some of the MANY caches around the area... Apologies in advance for the generic logs... It in no way detracts from the efforts gone to by the CO's... Many thanks...

A short search, found cache, stamped and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment...

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day eleven took us back north to do more of the trails. We ere joined by Rapidlywild and SpecimenX for the morning. After a creative drive to get to our starting point we powered through all of the remaining animals by lunch. Then it was back to town to head our different ways. Sold De Lune and I headed out to the Bald rock road to do the remaining caches out that way. Thanks.

Found it with Team FIN [kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Marvelous holiday with laalaa in Australia. Wonderful land and today sun is shining. We had fun.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

After the Mega was done and dusted, we headed for Warwick with iluvtrekking to complete the power trail and collect a few other smileys along the way. Thanks the cache maker

Found with Albida33, Rapidlywild and SpecimenX while attending the Mega.

We all had a number of unfound caches out in this area so teamed up in one car and headed out to grab them. A good day with all caches found......a total of about 120 for this part of the day.

Thanks for the cache and adding to the fun of our Mega trip.....

Found with richliink on day five of our Mega 2015 Stanthorpe adventure.
Today was the big day, the day of the CITO, the Flash Mob and the closing ceremony. Time to say goodbye for tomorrow we are on the road to Warwick. Thanks the cache maker for your cache, which added to our fun.

Today specimenX and myself had a goal, we wanted to finish the powertrails. We had organised to meet up with Sol De Lune and Albida who are also from Canberra and with the 4 of us loaded up at 8am, off we went in order to hit as many as possible.

We had managed to knock over just over 100 caches in just under 4 hours and soon after, we were in a position where SDL and ALB had found ones we were missing. So we were returned to the Mega site to jump in our geomobile and from there we went seperate ways. With the very first cache collected at 0850, the ver last cache collected at 2122 with a ~2 hour break, we managed 226 cache finds in a 10 hour caching period. This is our biggest daily achievement to date !!!

Some caches were easy, some a little more difficult, all in all, no DNF's to record and the Stanthorpe powertrails are now officially COMPLETE

The weather was nice to us today and the roads remained dry enough to get around without any issues.

Thanks the cache maker for placing this cache for us to make a find on

Up from Canberra and found with Rapidlywild on a two week geomission around the Gold Coast and, of course, for the MEGA

Today's plan for us was to complete the powertrails we had left around Stanthorpe and to nab any randoms along the way. A plan was hatched with our fellow ACT geomates, Sol de Lune and Albida33, the night before to join them at 8am to see how many we could knock off.

With just over 100 caches nabbed in under 4 hours, we were up to the point where Sol and Albida had already found the ones we had yet to get. So with that we all returned to Mega GZ to freshen up, then RW and I continued on to knock over the remaining caches we had left to collect on the power trails.

All up we made 226 finds in 10hrs-not a bad effort I reckon and it made for our biggest day yet!

Thanks to all of the CO's who placed the caches for us to find on a most enjoyable day. As a powertrail co-owner, I can appreciate the work involved in setting them up!

Found it with Jondan2
Thanks for the cache

Day five for us at Stanthorpe, attending the Mega event. The previous day was very wet and up until today we really had not got many numbers. Today we finish up the Stan puzzles (has taken us 3 days to find these, been taking it reaaaaaaal slow). Finally with a break in the wet weather, we tackle the trails finishing the day with 202 finds and no DNF's ??
Thanks to all CO for your efforts in putting out these caches.

Found with Paul the Hippy Soggy log

Quick find thanks

The description for this cacheing run can be found at Gc5ab8w. Just one more. Tftc

Well, finally, we got some half decent weather to do some caching! My goal was to do 100 for the event and to beat my previous highest day of 23, i have smashed that with 69 for today including the Stanthorpe Mega event and i got my 100 for the event so time to relax! TFTC TNLN.

Found while out and about with Haveanez, DazRascal, mlroberts and arielisme while attending the 2015 OzMega. Shooting for 200 finds in a single day - and we made it!

Thanks to the respectve CO's for their caches

TFTC!

Having a great time at mega, camped onsite...caching with robbieracer66 and team Grub Fred....thanks for this great series cache maker, we enjoyed the containers

Had a great day great caching with Zobo04, Alansee, Maccamob and Phetlern. Found lots of caches some easy to find some not so. We signed the log as GAMPZ. Thanks to those that have gone to the effort of putting out caches in this area for us all to enjoy. Thanks to the cache maker

Here for the oz mega and hoping to get as many caches as we can
The weather will not deter us

Today is day 3 of the QLD MEGA 2015, so Barb and I decided to head north and get some of the animals caches and a few other nearby caches. Really enjoying the different containers. TFTC

Visiting from Newcastle, staying onsite at Oz Mega, out today with earthly65 & robbieracer66 filling in a few smilies on the A.S series and the animal run, TFTC!!

What a handsome fellow he was too. I love the selection and range of animals portrayed in this trail.

Found at the MEGA, had a great day with mlroberts73, we had travelled from victoria and met up with heavenez, dazrascal & mvyrmnd who are also from vic.
We decided we'd hit the trail and get our cache on.
We were trying to crack 200 finds in a day and it seems we managed it.
Thanks for the time & effort you put into these caches!
Signed the log as A.M ( short for Arielisme & Mlroberts73)

I found this cache while visiting Australia from New Zealand and while staying in Stanthorpe for several days for the 2015 Mega Event. Today I joined forces with fellow kiwis Cats&Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber and Yorkshirekiwi83 (signing our logs as "CAVVY" to save time and log space.) Our main focus of the day was the power trails between Stanthorpe and Warwick. We left Stanthorpe at dawn and drove straight to Warwick, then slowly made our way south again through the power trails. It was a long day out caching, where we found over 300 caches! Apologies for the copy and paste logs, but its hard to remember them all! TFTC!

[red] 2016 NZ Mega Event in Turangi... http://www.nzmega2016.nz

Found as part of a group assault consisting of myself (DazR) Haveanez (Havez) , Mvyrmnd (Mvyr), MLRoberts73 (MLR) and Ariel_is_me (A.M.)

In all it was a great weekend catching up with some familiar faces over the course of the few days and have a few laughs and fun with the shenanigans of group cache hunting.
An enjoyable time was had by all in our small caching group travelling around the back roads here picking up the finds on the different series out this way.

Thanks for the effort in the creative hides and thought out descriptions for each of them.

Cheers.

Cats and Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber, Vistra and I (we signed as CAVVY) decided to tackle the powertrails north of the mega today, sorry these logs will be very generic for the trails as we found over 300 today. Nice easy find, TFTC


[u][Teal]2016 Mega Event Labour weekend in Turangi visit [url=http://www.nzmega2016.nz/]New Zealand Mega 2016[/Url] [/Teal][u]

Found on Day 2 of the Mega Event,
We had a group and we had a mission to find 200 in the day,
We started out signing the log book with our full names Mlroberts73 & Arielisme but not long after the first 25 or so we started to get writers cramps? so we shorted it after about the 40th we sign the log as A&M as the log books where getting full and we didn’t need to take up so much room with our full names..
Thanks for having us for a great weekend

Together with the New Zealand crew which included Cats&Dragons, vamber, vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 (signed logs as CAVVY) we headed out early in the morning to get those power trails plastered with a lot of smiley’s. It took us around 9h working well together to get those awesome trails done. TFTC

Found as part of a very big caching day in conjunction with YorkshireKiwi83, VISTRA, Vamber, Alpenmilch80 signing the logs as CAVVY (to save space).
Shame about the weather but the caching was a whole lot of fun with adventures and trash talk along the way.
Thank you to all the cache owners that put these together for us to enjoy while at the OZ MEGA 2015, as NZer's we certainly did appreciate them.

So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt
