WMCR - Very Remote Location Sheldon, Queensland, Australia
By DeFCoN_6 on 08-Sep-13. Waypoint GC4MWF8

Found it.Water logged.

Over visiting from NZ and using the time to do as much caching as other commitments allow.The wet weather over the last few days had dampened things down nicely and made for pleasant walking conditions today. I was surprised at the number of MTB'ers seen today, being as it was a Friday. .. According to Strava, I did 9.2km walking today with an elevation gain of 308m with 100% finds, so was pleased with that.Even though it was such a remote location, made a nice quick find here. TFTC

An enjoyable morning walk of 8km finding 15 caches and one DNF, with my non-Premium friend sausage3. A fun cache but the container was full of mushy logsheets. We found one which wasnt too bad, dried it out a bit and placed in plastic bag after signing. Tftc

Still very waterlogged needs attention

Found it! TYFTC.

29/03/2024 - 11:28Didnt know what to expect but when we got there it all made sense! As others have noted, the logbook was very wet and damp but successfully managed to get a scribble on the sheet without it disintegrating. Returned as found.marcussjd9#211TFTC

Shame TV wasnt included. The cache needs attention, its wet and hard to log on. Thanks for the find!

Didnt have a piece of paper on me, next person can they replace the log. Found a little piece that was dry to sign. TFTC!

Found it

TFTC - great container!

Log is disintegrating and unusable. Love the remote tho!

Good name

Waterlogged, log is destroyed

TFTC

Found it but log saturated

Found @ 1523 with Gumboot_Adventurer and Squirel_joe - Logbook Wet and needs replacing. Quick find,but I didn't find the location remotely funny. TFTH

Haha. Love it. Log a bit damp but managed to sign. TFCT DeFCon_6

Watch out for spiders

Today was a beautiful day for caching but the going was tough for the first two finds. I was caching with Hatzoff and GrannySmith1947 .
These last few were much easier to get to as it was down hill now.
Cache found and log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

TFTC smile 14282 out and about with miss millie geo dog and Hatzofff RoddyC Imbunda great caches, great day ,good weather, enjoying a great walk , going to the Event tonight

Thank you, DeFCoN_6, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Beautiful day after the big fog. No school holidays. Not a weekend. So we thought it safe to venture into these crazy bike tracks. The going was tough for us injured gals but we were soon moving up and town and over the tracks.

We only met 2 bikes on our way around these half dozen caches.

Another up. Boy have the bikes cleared this area of vegetation.

Caching and travelling with Imbunda and grannysmith1947.

This morning, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I planned to take baby Warren on a walk up to Mount Cotton. We took the direct main route up to the summit, and then proceeded to take a loop around the area via the *What Goes Up Must Come Down* (WGUMCD) series. To replenish our energy, we then detoured past Capalaba for a lunch, before proceeding home.
In the late afternoon, it was an errand at Clontarf that allowed me to drive north and visit a few more of the *Witch's Hat* series.

We set out on this walk departing from the trailhead at 09:20 hr, and we walked a total distance of 6.9 km across an elevation of 232 m, with a moving time of 1:40 hr. Despite that, we ended up getting back to our cars just after 12:00 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/7443275065). A few nice-looking mountain biking trails that I'd love to come back to. It must have been a long walk for baby Warren as she took a short nap during the last kilometre.

As we descended from the summit and made a loop around the area, we made a stop at this cache. After a short search, we managed to find the object first, before then locating the container. A nicely themed geocache, and I had always wondered how these go missing at home (perhaps they prefer to be geocaching in the outdoors also?). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks DeFCoN_6 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A great trip away with davidwazza! TFTC!

Today was the first ruzzelz ride event for 2022. With a hard core ride planned for today only two victims came along for the torture test. TaxisVW and DrPam had serious mechanical issues before the ride started ( air in tyres is essential as are sound tubes), stealth seeker was ready to role and so it was that we took on the challenge of clearing out most ( but not all of the caches in this area.

I have ridden these trails several times before. However my usual MTB friends are not geocachers so stopping to cache has not been an option.

Thanks to the various cachers for placing caches along the trails.

A nice easy find today.
Log is damp.

Found this one while on a holiday to Mount Cotton, TFTC! ️

Haha good pun. Remote. Lol. Nice and easy TFTC.

I appreciate this great pun and this old school remote. What a nugget. TFTC!

Found it. Log wet. Added a dry page. Tftc

Took a bit to find but finally found it… it was really “pushing my buttons”

This one eluded me. Can't win them all. Thanks.

After climbing Mt Cotton I still had plenty of time left to do more caches so I did a loop around here. What a fabulous place. Me, a few walkers and only a few MTB riders.
Nice pun. You can have a FP just for the pun. Log was damp but made a mark on there. TFTC DeFCoN_6

Great cache, thank you! Unfortunately the log was too wet to sign.

Out caching with Muggle65 today.

It’s almost 6pm & we’ve been side tracked to this cache, keen to nail them before the sun goes down nice hide

This morning we hadn’t caught up with much wildlife apart from two old hacks walking around looking for caches. Just before we reached this cache we finally saw a goanna and had to stop for an obligatory photo (we did ask it’s permission).

My wife didn’t have any problems getting close to it for a photo, but when we had to leave the trail to head into the bush and walk right by it things became tense. Suddenly she had to keep her eyes on it lest it made a dash towards her and ultimately her phone. Even when we were 40 metres passed it, she still had to stop and turn around to make sure she wasn’t being followed. tftc

Today I met a friend on the south side of town for an early bike ride and once this was done it was too early to go back north. Traffic was terrible. So I decided to explore this beautiful forest for 2 hours and find plenty of caches. All in great conditions. I had a great time!

Georode

Another great location.co ords have been right on.
All good here with your cache

Tried the tracking button. Does not work thanks for the smile

Another easy find. Great afternoon caching. TFTC

Out early this morning to target a gap in my DT grid and pick up the rest of the caches along the circuit. with a long walk back to the car, I’m one step closer to closing out the DT

Tftc

Do like a clever name/cache!
TFTC!

I must be getting tired now... this took much longer than it should have... GPS was actually pretty spot on, I just didn’t look in the right spot...

Fave point for creativity and for contributing to the game we all love... tftc...

Super cool! tftc

After the experience at the previous cache, we decided to both trek in and look this time. Finding a cache in the bush with no clue is no easy feat, so we took the bikes in part of the way and left them while we walked on to search for the cache. Poor GPS signal, combined with the fact that three times we appeared to be very close while beside a particular log, led us to spend way too long searching for this one. We eventually found the cache a good 8 metres from where the GPS told us to look, exhausted and relieved to finally sign the 15th and last log book for the day.

In total, the trip up the mountain and back took us nearly 5 hours! We hadn't hurried and we spent too long looking for some of the caches that didn't have hints. We were relieved that most of the caches hadn't been found in weeks, but the final four already had a signature from today, and we used up most of our alcohol hand wash over the course of fifteen caches. Thank you for placing and maintaining this remotely interesting cache for our entertainment!

Bit of a hike down off the track very remote location lol super easy find once you're in the right spot TFTC

Wednesday afternoon, back in the general area for the second day in a row.
Another bushwalk to collect some caches.
Perfect weather for the walk.

Second time here, today it did not take a minute to find it

Thank you for hiding them here

Can’t believe how remote that geocache actually is. TFTC

Lovely mozzies slapping spot. Found just how remote. Log is Wet. Found not signed though. TFTC

The remote didn’t work, would change the weather but oh well...TFTC

Monday. Today was a day of MTBing with Que Sera targeting some great caches in this area. I loved this whole area. There is a great variety of caches. We started off at the parking co-ords just off the main road and we headed in, all kitted out for a great bike ride. Loving the cache names and ideas with this series. Had a good laugh when we found this cache container. Found the cache container in good condition in a logical spot.

This was the 3rd of 19 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***DeFCoN_6***, for showing us this place.

Mrs slow puncture and I decided to take our bikes to find 19 caches along these tracks. It took us 5 hours and there were lots of times we needed to walk our bikes but other times it was a nice breezy ride. We were able to ride most of the way to this cache and this one was a quick find and we both had a laugh at the co sense of humor. I would like to give a fp to alot of these caches for all the laughs. Thanks for the fun

Remote but not alone.
Log mostly dry.
TFTC

Yet another neat cache found in this reserve.
A bit of a hike off the path but rewarding when you spot it. After signing log and replacing cache as found I deliberated on the next one...would have been a hike through the bush or follow the path, which would have been longer. In the end I decided to leave the remaining few for another day.
TFTC DeFCoN_6

With giraffe 18 and cutie pie. Easy find!

MissBeauty found it. Very easy.
Out with CutiePie and MissBeauty

Out finding caches on a rainy afternoon in this bit of bush...This was the 5th find.

A light, enjoyable bush bash to get to GZ followed by a moment of confusion before it all made sense. That's worth a favourite point!

TFTC!

Found

The log was too wet to sign. Hope the photo is OK

On the way home i decided to detour to find the 17 caches in the Mount Cotton reserve. Thanks DefCon

Nice easy find. The title made total sense. Our gps was about 14 m off. Tftc

Was very cool geokid found it which was great

TFTC
Isola_and_me

With all the antennae overhead on Mt Cotton, expected the reception to be a lot better here. Tried the remote but it appears the batteries are flat and I was all out of fresh ones. Was really looking to enjoy some evangelism on the big screen this sunday morning. Maybe next time. Thanks for maintaining this hide DeFCoN_6.

Love the remote attachment !!! Great hide. Tftc

I can't see a DVD player

Heading clockwise around the loop from the quarry, I am making good time and again made a quick find here. At this rate, I will be back at the car within the hour.

Thanks for the cache.

On the trail we continued as we headed toward no. 5 for the day. It certainly had us at a very remote location indeed; ha ha. Saw a small plane fly overhead, wonder if they could see us below! Another very quick find. We are certainly starting to warm up now. TFTC.

Geoson found this one, which was appropriate.
TFTC

Out with Geowife Dora the Explorer. Nice sunny day

Quick and easy find

See a number of caches along the trails that are not rated 1.5/1.5 plus with a few select targets like the letter box at the top and Alpha we decided to head off. We decided to head straight up and take the loop on the way back which seemed a good decision so picked off caches along the way. A few Roos spotted and a nice bit of bush and some views at times. We completed the signing suitors and re hid. TFTC.

Out for a day of caching with stortigirls and out'n'about. On our way back to the geomobiles, we decided to detour to find a few more caches. Another quick find here, before moving on to the next one. TFTC

We were able to access the remote location and sign the log today, by channelling our caching efforts Tftc DeFCoN_6

Out and about finding a few caches before heading off to attend the Logan Geocaching Monthly Catch up meeting. Another neat hide and beaut camo here.

TFTC DeFCoN_6. Nice guardian!

Log book looking a bit worst for wear. Might need changing . Tftc

Got it TFTC

Hooray

Found on the ground
Put inside to be safe

This one was easy to spot, as it had fallen out of its hiding hole. We signed the log and hid it well again.
We are loving our walk through this area, the sound of the birds is beautiful.
Thanks
Domsky

Ha ha. REMOTE location. Great little walk

Hilarious!!!

Love the cache! Thanks for the hide!

A day of solo caching just doesn's seem to happen often enough, but soehow today ended up as just that. I was surprised how warm it was, and as I set off at 7am I was in t-shirt and shorts. Mt Cotton was the main plan for today and a really pleasant walk it was. What a magical place.
Ahh the joke caches are coming thick and fast now! haha.
A quick find, and a nice laugh. Thanks for the cache. All is well with this one.

A walk around the trails and collecting this serieswith the geodog. The start of the trail led me to the caches just off the trails and had me looking in several spots for many of them. The a couple I went off bush to reach the next to make short work of the distances between. All in all, it was a good workout for me up and down gullys and through the trees. No DNF's and a lovely day for a walk. TFTC DeFConN_6

Nice find while hunting caches in the area today.
Enjoyed visiting the area. SL TFTC

Sorry for the generic log on these few. I was back today to finish of the series along this West Mount Cotton Road caches
I started at E.T. and worked my way around to Charcoal Charlie. All the caches today were found in a reasonable amount of time. I think one I had to search around for a bit, I just can't remember which one it was now [?] Most were in plain view once you got into the right position
All log sheets were dutifully extracted and signed and dated. Then all caches were replaced as I'd found them, all are in readiness for the next geocaching visitor to trek in here and find them for themselves [8d]
The weather was pretty dodgy for me today, with raining falling at times and me arriving back at my car afterwards in a quite soaked state Should have brought along a raincoat!
Thanks for the cache DeFCoN_6

Haha! I like the pun. TFTC

Found with harra88

Bit of a detour but found it ok.

Another quick find here as Kestal spotted it on approach lying on the ground. A delicate balancing act and hopefully it is back where it belongs. Thanks DeFCoN 6.

Came down to Bris from Toowoomba with Eskies5 to try and grab some caches and tick a few more boxes. Found this one laying out in open after making the find we added more camo. Great hide and TFTC DeFCon 6

We are heading toward a milestone event, so we decided to set ourselves a challenge to achieve a few milestones all at once. To manage this however, we have found ourselves on the dark side of town where there is an abundance of caches not too far apart ... perfect for our requirements.

Fortunately, all the caches we found today seemed to be pretty straight forward and we managed to add our name to the log book without any difficulty. We certainly enjoyed our day out exploring this little area of bush land.

Thank you DeFCoN_6 for having placed the series and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Very good clue
Enjoying this series
