Time to let this one go

Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Didn’t find good look around but it’s not there

I search all around the around the area and the compass continued to change direction whenever I got to 0m. I lifted every old piece of wood and still nothing.

Yesturday i came to this geocache and spent 30mins looking for it before giving up. I then came back today with the help of geomother and we looked together with still no success

Had found this in the past but returned to get a quick find with a friend yielded a pile of scraps and the bush was cut :/. May need a checkup due to recent cleaning of the garden. Geoturkey still roaming.

We looked for this one for ages but had to give up eventually as we couldn't find anything - apart from the huge bush turkey nest and the turkey wasn't too thrilled we were here.

Quick easy find

Grabbing a few caches around here, I had to drive past the preciouancache as a young boy on his scooter was determined to hang around GZ, so I figured I'd head to this one first and try my luck at the other one on my return journey.
I parked the car and, like cachers before me, headed in the less paved way making a direct line for GZ. But once there I really could work out where I needed to look. Hmmmm. So I began searching here, and there, and around that way.
Looks like bush turkey has been busy here too.
Anyway persistence prevailed and all of a sudden I caught sight of something teasing me from its hiding spot. Could it be? Yes! It was the cache! Log signed I returned it back to its spot getting a little enjoyment out of the fact the next searcher will no doubt have just as much fun.
Thanks for the cache ScattsMadhouse.

Visiting Brisbane for the day with Eskies5 to collect a few caches that were on our to do lists. Beginning to make our way back towards Toowoomba now we stopped off at this one. Undecided on which direction to head towards this one we decided to head straight in. Luckily it ended up being an easy find by Eskies5. TFTC ScattsMadhouse

Down from Toowoomba with Kestal to tick off some caches from different "to do" lists...this filled a hidden date for me. Thankfully a quick find here to keep us moving along. Thanks ScattsMadhouse

Nice easy find by some geoturkeys who had pulled cache from its little hidey hole. Wasnt sure where cache was originally placed so found a nice little spot for it.

Awesome

Whoo found it
In the dark 5.45pm

Hooray

Lovely day for a walk, and an easy find. Thanks.

Nice Quick find, TFTC.

Out this way with KerriMG today. She had previously found this one but as we pulled up she had no recollection of it. We entered in the not T1.5 direction but once we got nearer the cache KerriMG then recognised where we were. Quick find here.
Thanks ScattsMadHouse.

Good quick find once we read some other logs thanks

After visiting the palace, strolled along the path to the stargate. The GPS wouldn't settle and ended going up and down the hill before putting it away and tried geo-sense for a change. Surprisingly this worked and a cache was found. Poured some excess water form the container before signing the log. thanks for the cache ScattsMadhouse.

Well hidden. Finally spotted it after searching high ground and realised we should be searching low ground

2173 - I headed into this area just after dark this evening to grab my cache of the day. After a bit of a search I found the cache in good condition at 6:54pm, making this day number 367 in a row that I have found a cache. Thanks for placing the cache here ScattsMadhouse and my apologies for the delay in getting this one logged, but I found my missing notebook with all of the important details!

It was a very good hide

Our little girl spotted this one!!

Found long time ago with JaffyG and Niklipp good cache
Big spider jump scare
Awesome
Only logged now i have an account and free time

After failing to find a bridge across the river, we decided to do some more on this side. My gps wanted us to be further up the hill and we were just discussing where to look when we both spotted the cache at the same moment!
It's been wet at some stage and is a bit smelly but the RITR paper is of course still easy to write on

This was a amusing one as we were both looking around then came back together then we both spotted at the exact same time what a cowinkydink this one has some moisture inside so if any future cachers are reading this please take some paper towel to wipe out and it needs a new snap lock bag. TFTC

First find!

TFTC
FIRST CACHE IF THE DAY

Thanks

Tftc

We couldn't find this one then our friend found it. There was a spider that was yucky.

Good find with the boys. 10/10

We worked hard towards a great result. Good find with the boys 7/10.

Ok hiding spot was really easy to find but good job

Found it
Easy
Found with Archie Archie, Coopster36 and lil Wearne

Easy find found with darcy clark, archie archie and coopster36

Good one

Another good find with the kids. TFTC

Like others, I parked close but struggled to know how best to proceed. I noticed a path nearby so wandered down and along.
I got to the GZ and grabbed the first interesting thing I could see. Ah, that would be a rotting orange...
I looked further and noticed that a huge branch has come crashing down in a recent storm. Fortunately, it's not on the cache because I suddenly spotted it poking out, maybe just a couple of metres down from where I was thinking. All was good inside and I rehid it with a bit more camo. TFTC in a nice little spot.

Pretty clever hiding spot, found it straight away tho

No find. Had to abandon after fighting kids got too much. Will be back

Good hide. My daughters found it. No pen to sign so will go back and fill in the sheet.

Tftc

Good spot to hide. TFTC.

Nice hide. Well done

Nice hide!

Look down while walking up

Tftc love stargate

Nice quick find for the geodaughter! Tftc!

I had ventured to the dark side for an event this morning. I set off early in the hope of finding a few smiles before the event started.

My morning had been filled with muggles and I was not doing much finding at all.

I had pedaled by a couple of stargates earlier. I do not have the equipment to attempt those ones. One day maybe.

This one was at a much more achievable altitude and the area was blissfully muggle free too. I did spend way too long looking for this D1 hide though.

It was spotted on my second lap of likely spots. I left a TB here.

I'm sure I checked that spot twice before. had to walk out of the garden reset the situation with back in found it straight away

Found with Tassiegirl13.
We did enjoy the movie and finding the cache was a bit of fun too.
We made our way through the Stargate of bushes up near the road and found ourselves in an open parkland.
GZ was narrowed in on and the treasure was soon found.
TFTC

Found it

I was having a lovely morning. Eminoz04 had a horse skills workshop (as you do) which meant that I had a few hours to keep myself occupied. Oh well, I'll just have to go geocaching, sigh! . I was in the area and this one was nice and close, so I parked the car...in the complete wrong spot, LOL! Looking at past logs I'm not the first to do this, so I found a more suitable place to park and headed off down the path. What a lovely quiet place. It didn't take me too long to find the cache and I soon had the log signed. TFTC ScattsMadhouse, I'll be coming back soon to have a go at finding your nearby multi and letterbox

??

A tricky find but lots of fun treasure inside. TFTC!

Another stargate cache located and signed.

Managed to park in the wrong spot (as usual), so after a short bush bash to GZ and a bit of wandering I stumbled on the creative container. I like the design. TFTC

[Blue]# 12226[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another perfect autumn day for a quick drive around.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, NSW.
Thanks for the cache ScattsMadhouse,

I don't think I approached the cache from the intended direction but it was only a short walk from where I had parked and I was soon at the search location.

A short search and I soon located the Stargate.

TFTC

good spot, tftc! today's #11

Today's target cache is just around the corner, but I have arrived early.
So a couple of quick finds should fill in the time.
A quick find here as it seems a LOT of water has flowed through, but the cache was still in place.
Thanks for cache.

I have a target in mind for Mega, so needed a few smilies this weekend to help me - so out and about for a quick run through the area. Quick find although GPSr ws bouncing around a bit.

Thanks for placing this cache, ScattsMadhouse. Found in good condition.

Quick find. TFTC

In the nearby area, and decided to also find a few caches. A nice quick and easy find. TFTC.

Tftc. Cache all good and dry here!

Quick find tftc

Our 3rd for the day, another find to geodaughter, she's catching up to geodad. Took a blue crystal, left a loom band bracelet. Tftc

Our very first find nothing taken fun in the hunting woo hoo!

Had to dodge some council workers and long grass. Good hide.

After a big day on the water I woke up and thought about just lying in bed. That was only for a brief instance and then I decided there were much better things to do. After a little lap around Bunyaville on the MTB I ventured up around the South Pine River and then on to explore the trails around this area.

Thanks for the cache. http://connect.garmin.com/course/8616182

Popped by and dropped in some moisture absorbing pouches. Hopefully they fill help keep the contents dry for a while

Wow a nice area and great cache. TFTC. Sl.

We turned up at the park and followed the GPS to the GZ. Another quick find, sign and return. There was some water in the cache, so the contents was damp and some entries on the log were smudged. TFTC

After my radio shift today, I didn't have to go to work, and all my family were away, so I had quite a few hours to while away. Mmm, what shall I do??? Ummmm...

So a check of my GPSr showed a small collection of green boxes around Albany Creek, and a multi not too far off (I was ignoring all those nasty blue [?]s ) Sounds like a plan [^] A leisurely drive the back way from Ferny Hills brought me to the multi first, and when that was done, I took the back way through to this one. A fence had me a little worried but I worked my way around it, and watched the numbers count down quickly. At GZ the cache was a quick find. Nice container. TFTC, ScattsMadhouse.

This one caused me a bit of trouble trying to find how to get to where the cache was (actually I had that problem with a few in this area today).

Eventually I found the right approach and with no-one around on a wednesday lunchtime I was free to wander around and after a quick search the stargate container was found. I Love this tv show and love the paint job on the container.

I too found this a little while ago but life has stepped in the way of me logging. No-one around meant that I had the luxury of checking here and there and soon I had the well crafted container in hand. Retrieved the TB from another dimension to transport it elsewhere. tftc ScattsMadhouse

This is so embarrassing, and for someone who is just a little "OCD", I failed to log this cache in order on the day I found it

After 1862 cache find, this cache I log out of order and forgotten for 3 days.

I will be dwelling on this for a week!!!

So onto the cache. I was going through the area finding some caches, and this was a short walk from where I parked, and the cache itself was very well hidden, but even then it only took a few minutes to find it, much like finding the StarGate

Thanks for the cache

A quick wander around in the garden and we found the cache quite well hidden. A great paint job on the container - well done

Dropped off TB.

TFTC ScattsMadhouse

Parked in the same place as last time and headed for GZ.
Circled a couple of times and then I spotted what I was looking for.
Nice container.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks ScattsMadhouse All good with this cache
Thanks for checking on it and placing at GZ.

Out and about on a caching day with Jelly the Wonderdog. This was our first hit for the day. At GZ it didn't take long until the cache had been spotted. I signed the log and then replaced the cache as it had been found.

Thanks for the cache ScattsMadhouse

Has been muggled . Will be back ASAP

stargate is back. Had been for an 8 metre journey, but is now home

Found with assistance of CO and Gmccul whilst trying to locate where this one had wandered too.

TFTC

After a dnf down the road we had to find this one! After a quick rummage around we spotted it by accident. Tftc

No luck today.
Will be back.

Hmm, we've come this far this morning, may as well get this one too. Wasn't too sure we approached from the best spot, but we were soon at GZ.

I walked straight past this one, but Barb quickly located it, so she grabbed the TB's.

Log signed, cache replaced.

TFTH

ok ... seriously ... mmmm Richard Dean Anderson ... there is no fun ... mmmm Richard Dean Anderson ... sorry back ... in doing sci-fi caches with a ... mmmm Richard Dean Anderson ... so hard to concentrate lol ... with a muggle

Upgraded the container with the original plan and dropped off a couple of Travel Bugs, one's from Switzerland.

Found with Marg at 0808. A quick easy find. TFTC.

Another find for the Geokid. TFTC

This one intrigued Muggleson, so we set off with Geogranddaughter to find it. Parked nearby and strolled through an empty park to GZ. Once there, it did not take Muggleson long to find the cache (perhaps we will convert him yet) Log signed and cache returned to its spot
