Need to look at this one

I'm logging a second DNF on this one the last time must have been over a year ago, this time I read the hint and I'm sure we are at the confirmed location & by solar light mentioned in the last finders note, so DNF again

Container was partially filled with water and items are water damaged.
Logbook ok though.

Day three of a wonderful weekend away camping and caching.
After a fabulous night sleep at Girraween National Park, I set off to find some more caches and head homeward.
I'd solved this puzzle some time ago - twice in fact, as I'd lost my workings and solution the first time! Anyway, I'm seldom in this neck of the woods but made a short detour heading home today and made the find. It was pretty wet in the cache container but the log is dry in its bag. Thanks for this cache, angloj.

A fleeting visit to Toowoomba to attend the CITO and soak up the floral ambience

Liked the puzzle as I'm a Shakespeare buff and have the collected works on my bookshelf.

A quick find here and nice start to a sunny morning.

TFTC angloj

Thought it might be the solar light at first but found quickly. TFTC

Got this questions done last week and crossed my fingers that coordinates are right so today went and got done! Hooray got the coordinates right! Got signed and returned same place! Fav point for my questions right! TFTC

After finishing the SSE series west of Toowoomba, barbb and I still had a couple of hours of daylight left, so we thought...let's go caching!

By the time we got to this cache, the weather was starting to turn and we only had about 45 min of sunlight left. I had solved this puzzle ages ago, so barbb and I thought we'd go pick it up as we were in the area. We parked the car and found a very handy path. Up, up, up we went and after a bit of a search, barbb made the find. Yay! TFTC angloj

beamed off the enterprise and landed in downtown toowoomba ...
finished early so into town and have some fun before dark

rio had this one solved from a previous trip
had a quick look ... yep i can do that when we get back

followed rio's gps to gz
oh like this spot

found the most awesome road kill ... a chicken leg

Cache all good...clue helped...tftc...

We are in Toowoomba for a couple of days and enjoyed meeting the CO of this cache yesterday at a geocaching get-together.
We also enjoyed this puzzle, it is good to have a puzzle that one can solve occasionally! Cache was found safe and sound. We signed the log and then got back in the car before the rain hit.
Thanks anglog


Domsky

Did the puzzle and got the ok from the checker. Today we came to Toowoomba and tried to find the final searched for 10 minutes and couldn't locate it. We will be in a couple of months and we will try again.

Solved this one ages ago but just never got around to picking it up! Finally got there and log is signed! Tftc

We found a cache at GZ after solving the puzzle but it may have been an old cache - last date was 2014. Signed it anyway and replaced it.

TYTC

Tftc. Found with geoBessie.

Having a weekend of caching including on the way to, south of, as well as in Toowoomba with the weather being fantastic as well! Great variety of scenery and many places being visited for the first time. Loved the puzzle and a quick find at GZ. Thanks.

Caching with friends from LoganCaching while up here in Toowoomba to attend a Event. Had solved this puzzle before hand and arrived at GZ - a quick find. TFTC

Found with WallabyTim. TFTC

In Toowoomba for 24hrs. Decided to grab a few of the mysterys solved with my amazing geo-partner KaleidoscopeCass by my side. Cache was found and log signed. All is good with this cache!

Great spot!

Nicely done! Tftc

Enjoying Toowoomba and surrounds with Muff1 today. Being the driver for the day I was bemused to see my two passengers (Muff1 team) head out in opposite directions. I had not managed to get out of the car when the cache was located - in the opposite direction of the GPS directions. Now I wonder who was having who on in this case. Anyway, we had a good laugh at each other, signed the log and proceeded on our way. SL TNLN TFTC.

Uhm, what has happened to the road here. Speedmistress parked at the barrier and while I was looking where my calculations said I would find the cache hubby had headed to the other side and had the cache in hand and was bringing it back to the car for us to sign. Guess this happens when you solve puzzles and leave them sitting in GSAK for a long time. SL TFTC

I'm in Toowoomba for a few days of camping and caching by myself

Day 2, and I've got a couple of hours to fill in before a friend can join me, so time to grab a few easier ones. Loved solving this puzzle! English literature is one of my favourite subjects Definitely had to pick up this one today. I picked the hardest way to GZ, but the cache was a quick find. TFTC, angloj.

After a 30km ride around town this morning I had retired to the geomobile this afternoon.

I had solved this one many moons ago, and I guess something has changed since then. My GZ did not look good at all. I checked the hint and decided to check the nearest spot that matched.

Woohoo. A cache. Reading the descriptin as I write my log I can see that the puzzle has changed slightly since I solved it.

Took the TB.

had previously solved this one but got the chance and took it to find.. TFTC. You've Been Bear'd

I was glad we located this one on our day in Toowoomba as I had solved it twice recently!

I was wondering if we were in the right place but then I located the cache.
tftc

Happy to find this one with Wombles whilst in Toowoomba Cache find number 29 for us today, nice easy find!

tftc

Hi All! Have fixed coordinated to reflect the new GZ. Should be good to go! Thanks to EngPhi for replacing cache!

Found it after a good walk. Make sure you check engphil's found log!

Found it

Found it. Puzzle needed me to remember back to high school studies but wasn't too difficult. Finding the cache proved to be a little difficult but once reading through all past logs I saw the GZ and the cache

Found with my dad MalDawg and little brother

I solved the puzzle on this one a while back and was waiting for it to be replaced after all the construction work in the area. After looking at the logs and applying the correction we found this one quickly

TFTC

Obliterated by construction. But did the math, looked a while. Figured it's worth claiming.

Found Ok

GZ bulldozed, cache replaced nearby per my find log. CO will need to work out what to do next....

Found with EngPhil and artemidorus1 on the first night of Cycle Queensland. As mentioned, the area which may have once held the cache has been destroyed, so we have shifted it and EngPhil took some new coords. TFTC, I normally avoid puzzles like the plague but this one I actually had the knowledge to solve

Find #1687 at 17:35 with Palopinto and artemidorus1.

Camped nearby for the start of [url=http://cycleqld.bq.org.au]Cycle Queensland 2015[/url], we looked for nearby caches and saw this one. Artemidorus1 knew a few answers straight away; I tried but got one wrong (and locked myself out of the checker) while Palopinto and artemidorus1 confirmed a correct solution, so we went for a bit of a walk

At GZ we saw signs of construction, but with recent logs suggesting the cache was still in place, we started to search. Turning up nothing, artemidorus1's eye was caught by a container lying out in the open in a fenced off area. He retrieved it and confirmed it was indeed the cache.

The construction has evidently claimed the hide, as there is nowhere near GZ to support it now.

Adding to our woes, a muggle wandered up from below and we had to loiter nearby until he left.

With no suitable hide at GZ, the only option left to us was to rehide it as close as possible. We have placed the cache in a tree at an offset of S-0.003, E-0.007 from the puzzle solution.

Hopefully the CO can check in on this one soon and make any necessary adjustments to hide, puzzle or both.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache, angloj.

Found with Phil and Jen. Unfortunately, the hide site has been bulldozed and we found the cache container lying in the open. We hid the container in a bush nearby, some 5 or 6 metres away from GZ. Some adjustment of the hide location will be needed. Thanks for the cache!

I loved this little puzzle and I was even able to interest my wife in geocaching for a little bit - getting her to help with the quiz. Quick find at GZ....there is construction nearby but at this stage the cache is safe TFTC!

A rate puzzle within my capacities. TFTC.

Tyftc!

Visiting the area today from the Gold Coast and this one was on the hit list of must finds. I worked my way through the puzzle to get a good set of numbers but I didn't get the green light first go. Mmm, one question was a bit of a worry so I tried the other option and bingo, green light. Numbers punched into my phone for the trip today.
We didn't have a lot of time as we left home a few hours later then planned so we only really had about three and a half hours before the start of the event. By this stage we had a bag and a half of rubbish but once at GZ we ended up filling all three easily. People in their wisdom have decided to empty their cars at what looks like the start of a job site. It's amazing how hopeless some people are.
Log signed, replaced and a bit of CITO while there. Enjoyed the puzzle angloj, I may have been able to solve that one when I was in highschool without google but that sort of info has long been lost. I think geocache names are taking up a lot of brain space these days.
Thanks again.

Solved puzzle correctly and found it. TFTC and puzzle

Solved this puzzle awhile ago and today I had an opportunity to find the cache.
Geopartner turned the car to GZ and soon we were where we needed to be.
The cache was located and I signed the log happy to find it at last.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks angloj All good with this cache

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there angloj. We found your cache "Shakespeare in the Park" at 2:52:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 10809.
[Blue]
We have been visiting relatives in Toogoolawah, and now we have returned to Toowoomba for a while to see if we can turn the map of green boxes into smiley faces.

No bulldozers here today, but if works continue the cache may become damaged if they repair or replace the fence.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

With the puzzle solved we ventured along to the GZ for a find today TFTC

Always good to turn a previous DNF into a find. Solved the first puzzle, then DNF, now solved the altered puzzle, and today a find!!

Nice puzzle(s) thanks angloj

One of 25 caches for the day while in Toowoomba for a few days after attending OZ-MEGA in Stanthorpe
Thanks for the cache angloj

Another day of caching around the Toowoomba area (part of the mass exodus of geocachers from Stanthorpe after the mega). Great hide and a beautiful countryside. Happy to get this puzzle cache off our list. Nice one Thanks to angloj. fav point alloc

Found at 10:24 AM GAFF1.
A nice puzzle to work out although we had a bit of a problem in getting confirmation for "B" even though we were pretty sure that we knew the answer.
We now think that we can see what the influence was after doing "Empire Encore"
We are not sure whether this cache is going to be secure in the near future as the adjoining property is being bulldozed and cleared.
Thanks angloj.

Had a great time finding caches in the area with Just-Lookin

Quick find for us here today
SL Thanks for the fun!

Exploring this part of the country with tmann421 collecting caches along the way.

Many thanks to all the CO's for making this such a memorable trip.

TFTC

Found with richliink on day six of our Mega 2015 Stanthorpe adventure.
We slowly meandered from Warwick to Toowoomba enjoying some excellent historical sites. we enjoyed being off the highway for most of the day, thanks Speedmistress for your contribution to our relaxed caching day.

[Blue]# 11749[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
A quicktrip around Toowoomba on a perfect caching day with Di Morgan.
Met a local cacher here, had a chat and back on the road again.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina.
Thanks for the cache angloj,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red].

Found it. Good thing I'm married to a drama teacher

Today we headed around the Toowoomba area finding caches as we went. We had Roostaman join us for the morning. We stopped at many parks & passed so wonderful scenery.
The area certainly needs a CITO here.
Thanks for placing this cache angloj

Met some other cachers while filling in the log .
My cheap little Magellan said the cache was exactly where it should be ..
All Good .. TFTC ..

N.B. there was a lot of work being done on the fence nearby ... may need to be moved to safer location ??

After two days caching in the Warwick area, headed towards Toowoomba with iluvtrekking. We didn't want to go the direct route up the highway so criss-crossed the gorgeous countryside picking up finds along the way. Couldn't find the cache at my gz then realised puzzle had been changed after I solved it last May. Lucky I know Shakespeare so soon had another set of numbers and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks angloj

Great hide (despite the rubbish in the area) which I enjoyed logging while visiting Toowoomba. Thanks for the cache.

Solved before I left home, and a quick find once I got to GZ. Thanks.

The final leg of the trip to the QLD Mega. Will be good to get there!

Found on a trip to OZ for the Stanthorpe MEGA. It is all about the numbers this trip.

Thanks for the hide.

On the way to the Queendland for the Mega and spent the night at Goondiwindi before heading for Toowoomba doing caches along the way.

Once I knew I was passing through I did a few puzzles for the area with this being one of them.

Found the cache without problems.

Thanks angloj for the cache.

Thanks for the cache, shame about all the rubbish here.

When I knew I would be visiting the area I had a quick look at the caches available and then remembered the Know Your Local Cacher Challenge was up here I had already composed my list, I was only missing two COs to complete the challenge. Easy done! During the week I visited the Sunny Coast. That was one ticked off and then I had a look at the COs in Toowoomba. Well now, the CO of the challenge has just what I need also.
I made a short list of the caches I could find and off we zoomed to collect them.

Google was certainly my friend for a couple of the questions to the puzzle, but I managed a few just from memory. We made our way to GZ, I enjoyed the view and then after a quick muggle scope I dove in for the cache. There it is I left my mark in the log book and then replaced the cache as it had been found.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache angloj

I'm proud to say most of these questions were answered without resorting to Google, maybe I was listening in grade 9 English after all! Quick find today, of a well placed container... thanks for a great puzzle !

With puzzle solved with the help of google, my shakespeare has slipped since high school. TFTC

A plan was devised the previous night to head out today to grab some puzzles we had both solved. As we started reviewing our list of possibles it became apparent that finding a location suitable for both of us would be difficult. Our focus of attack became wider and wider until it was finally settled that Toowoomba held enough puzzles solved and unfound by both of us to make the trip worthwhile. A 5am start and we were off on our mini road trip.

After doing some walking around the trails earlier this morning in the rapidly growing heat, it was time to collect some of the other puzzles we had solved in a more urban environment. As we approached GZ it was certainly a case of "a breeze, a breeze, my kingdom for a breeze" as the heat was steadily building. Mr Fungus made the find and our names were added to the logbook. TFTC.

Out with Seffnjarah this morning for a Toowoomba Range Caching Blitz. We have plenty of traditionalise, puzzles, multis and earth caches on the list...lets see what we can get done! As this plan was hatched only last night, I spent the entire trip up solving puzzles that SNJ had already completed...was a fast trip!


Ooh I do like a bit of 'The Bard'. Didn't need too much help solving this one. No Montagues or Capulets were harmed in the finding of the cache today.

Thanks angoj. Nice puzzle topic.

Tricky find tftc

Not the best shakespear expert. Didn't stop me.

Great to find this today with my mum. Good spot after solving the clues. Amazed it was dry after 25ml of rain last night. Has a couple of swaps too which is good. Tftc.

I was expecting to find GZ in a park so was surprised to drive up to it here. A quick find. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC, angloj.

Grabbed this one on another trip to hospital, quickly found after working out the co ords ... TNLN ... TFTC angloj

Day 2 of my quick visit to Toowoomba.
A few new caches to find and time to do some maintenance on a few of my caches.
I am back having another look for this one. I must have a minor number wrong as I have GZ on the OTHER side of the road.
But I found the cache this time. [^]
Thanks for the cache

I am in Toowoomba for a few days and caching in this area. I saw this one come up on the GPS and I noticed that I had solved it and had the corrected coordinates in the GPS.

I headed down the road and stopped close and soon spotted the cache.

I retrieved the TB. TFTC

It was interesting solving the puzzle but what a pity people see fit to litter the bush. The rural outlook helped make up for the rubbish on site. Thanks angloj.

I enjoyed solving the puzzle, and with the Shakespeare in the Park stuff happening it was also very timely, but was disappointed at the rubbish strewn all around GZ. As I'm traveling I didn't have my CITO stuff with me but it badly needs it. A nice rural outlook helped distract me from that, at least. TFTC, angloj. =^.^=

A very nice find. Just what I needed after a long day of study
TNLNSL
TB still in cache

Had the mystery already solved and waiting for a sunny day to find it. Apparently there was a stench in the air, that I could not smell due to the fact that I have what seems like the flu (of course I HAD to collect the souvenirs - or more like, I promised C Yeo Later we would collect them for August), and this one not being so far from home and easy to solve, was our pick. Oh yes, and trek4ward was tagging along too (more like driving the car!). TFTC

Quick find with Geovegies and Trek4ward.
TFTC

Found it !

Found out some interesting Shakespeare facts and the Cache! TFTC. Found with Jes5.

Found it! Had a bit of trouble getting the correct coordinates (due to my lack of Shakespeare knowledge) but with a little help from some friends I have another smiley! Another little pocket of Toowoomba that I have only just discovered! TFTC!!

Went to check on this little fella. No units nearby, houses down the hill on other side of parkland... Did see an owner watering his lawn but he was a fair way away. Drove up and told him about the cache and he wasn't worried at all.
I did notice the area is in need of some CITO, so if you are heading that way, take a garbage bag to help out !

Happy caching.

Mrs Esky has been hassling me to solve some of the local mysteries so we can achieve the souvenirs of August. Looking through the listings, this one popped up, so it was soon solved, found and eventually logged.



TFTC

Leading up to August I was reeeaaaallly hoping this would be enabled as it would solve the small problem of a mystery find nearby. I went out the other night and came home to Mr Esky looking all smug with some co-ords in hand....yay!!! So today was the day to take the short drive for a quick find. Thanks Mr E for doing all the hard work and thanks angloj for the cache and enabling it for the August challenge. Now off to the Earthcache and then only one more souvenir to get....see you at the Event!

im sure our coordinates where right I think I checked them too but when we arrived at a parking area There was a guy getting out of his car and going in side I'm sure he was stalling and he must have thought we look a bit suspicious as he hung around out side the units so I gave up and we left will have to get a different puzzle at home sunday.

We have moved the cache across the road from its original location. Looking forward to some finds now! Happy caching! I have changed the puzzle to reflect the new location:

This entry was edited by angloj on Tuesday, 05 August 2014 at 11:44:49 UTC.

My apologies! I actually placed a new cache a few metres away on Saturday and grabbed new coordinates. Will play with the puzzle tonight and adjust the answers so it will fit and enable then! I really want this up and running, especially for the 7 souvenirs of August!

Hmm note didn't write. Have new cache and coordinates as of Saturday. Just need to play with puzzle answers tonight!

It appears this one has gone missing again. Will replace when my Cordero comes in. Will also need to play with coordinates and move the cache.

All set for a super long week-end in Toowoomba from Friday until Tuesday.
I am in town to find all of the new caches in the area since I left town year ago.
After a morning over at the Dam I am now continuing the day on the south side. [^]
With the phone binging like crazy I thought I would head south in search on some FTF's.
I have now returned, after dashing south, to grab a few more before it gets dark.
I have solved this puzzle but cannot find the cache as darkness approaches
I might have to come back tomorrow.

Awesome fun thanks for the cache
