Quick little find with HollyHORROR. Out with no kids today. Greatvday to be caching TFTC
Visiting from NZ and using the opportunity to find enough caches to earn the Cosmic souvenir.Decided to attempt the Glider Forest Trails today and maybe a few extras as well. Ended up doing a 16.5 km walk over five and a half hours and finding 41 out of 41. Very pleased that all the caches were in place and able to be found. This one was a nice quick find in the hint location. Thx to the COs for placing and maintaining all these caches.
Finished work after an all nighter and needed a find for my 366 Calendar Challenge. Decided to knock over the Glider Forest Power Trail as its located a short distance from my work.TFTC. TNLN. SL. TBs Prado Owl ; The Great Leap Forward Geocoin ; Bee Croc ; Der Kleine Bub ; Rawhide ; Scarb, Sheeps on the Journey (Orange) ; RobS72k 2000 Finds GC ; Forest Hill Ear Tag ; and Kiwi Bird visited.Find # 2078.
This one was a bit trickier to find. I checked a bunch of likely spots and couldnt see it. Eventually I looked at the hint and then went back and checked a few places more thoroughly until finally I found it. Today I completed the Glider Forest Power Trail. I walked 6.5km in just over 2hrs and found 22/23 caches. This is a new daily record for me (my previous record was 21 caches). Apart from 1 that seemed to be missing and a couple which were damaged, the caches were all in good condition and fairy easy to find. The council is doing some major track works at the moment so I was off-track for the entire second half of the series, which just added to the fun!
Family geo day out with Goteammullan, drossiter, tlm83. Trying to gain some more smilies. TFTC.
Bravo go team Mullan on your 200th find!!

My second foray into Glider Forest to complete the power trail. Collected 13 caches including the letterbox. TFTC
Arrived at GZ did a quick scan and spied the cache neatly tucked away. Everything quite dry and signed the log to the accompaniment of a kookaburra laughing heartily . TFTC hey
We had a lovely walk through the bushlands collecting all the caches this morning. Thanks Cantcacheus2014
Over on the Southside for some more caching therapy today. Seems I have been over this way a lot lately. Only have time for a few so I needed a nice walk to clear my head and a walk seemed the answer.
I started at the first one and wondered off, there was no one around here today so it was very peaceful. I only had time to get to the letterbox before I had to return and continue on with my duties for the day.
Thank you for the outing, all caches were found in good order and all logs were signed with caches returned as found.

When I started off track for this one, the ground was very soft with signs of a fair amount of water had flowed through.I was thinking that this one may be washed away. Pleasantly surprised to find in place and dry. Tftc
Working through this series with graceygirl1234. All nice and easy to find and most logs in very good condition! Hoping to find some numbers in this series so we can solve the letterbox padlocks! TFTC
Another quick find. Wondering when we are going to start seeing the clues for the final cache in the series. Does this Woolworths domino have something to do with it?
Picking up a few smiles in the extended local area for caches. Our aim today is the Glider trail. Out with RoddyC & GS1947 .
Lovely time to be out and about.

Such a beautiful parcel of forest we find ourselves in today. We are walking the trails following the cache numbers in order and hope by the end of the day to get to 23. Quick find here. TFTC.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I took our MTBs, and rode around Sergeant Dan Stiller Memorial Reserve / Warril Parkland and Glider Forest Conservation Area. It was fairly cruisey riding around with a few ups and downs, and a creek crossing that was deep enough to prevent riding through (although my shoes got wet with my attempt). Following our ride, we headed east to Browns Plains and visited Logan West Library, followed by a stop at IKEA.
During our ride in this area, we made a stop at this geocache, where we made the cache find reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Cantcacheus2014 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Tftc found this one.. log not as bad..a bit wet but ok..this one did have hint to final
Sorry for generic log. Out with DKDK to take on the power trail. A wonderful piece of Bush land and a nice series. TFTC
Another week of self isolation and my one big outing for the week. Such a wonderfully quiet spot there is very little chance of being accused of not social distancing out here.
Cache found safe and in good nick.

A bike ride in isolation in this piece of bushland.
Have been saving this cluster of caches for a day when I would need them, as I have now completed the goals I had set myself it was a good time to grab these.
The tracks were deserted.
Third one on the trail for me today.
Thank you for hiding this one

Today i started with this powertrail. I found all boxes and say thanks for hiding and maintenance. TftC
Powering along the trail we were soon at this GZ.
The cache was quickly spotted as it had fallen from its hide and was on the ground. All good and dry though. Signed the log and placed cache back where we believe it came from.
Thanks for the fun your caches are adding to our walk.

I was looking a good day caching were it was more about walking than driving. Had been in the park next door awhile ago. So this part was always on the list.
Today was the day. Love the walk around the park.
Thank you for bringing me here.
Sorry for the generic post.
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC Cantcacheus2014 ¥298. #1864 Finds.

Powering on to another in this series. GZ was simple to find with the clue, but the camouflage was spot on. It wasn't until I saw the lid which had fallen off that I was able to grab the cache. Signed and returned. TFTC Cantcacheus2014
Out caching with good mates Aussie Pete and Aussie Clarke.
Did the whole loop and found the letter box.

Having an all day geocaching excursion with Oddiewan. Some decent terrains alongside some simples. Apologies for the generic log, but those that know me well know the logging struggle is REAL.
Caching buddy Semik.
Out and about hunting caches.
What a great piece of bush land to spend the day.

On our travels from Brisbane down to Mount Buffalo we searched and found som Geocaches. Thanks to all owners for the Caches.
Muggle husband again found this cache. We were not keeping track of how many finds we made first and I might have tried harder if I knew he was getting this close but I was starting to run out of energy. Tftc
The 3rd find along this power trail this morning...found it quickly when it fell from a piece of something I kicked out of the way during my search...TFTC!
Heute ist nur ein Reisetag, also kurz einen Abstellort für das CM gesucht. Irgendwie hatten wir noch Bock. Die Hitze hatte etwas nachgelassen und wir mussten auch noch ein bisschen das Schrittkonto aufbessern. Die offline Karte hat versagt, weil die meisten Wege nicht oder falsch eingezeichnet sind. Aber wayne, schließlich waren die Koordinaten richtig super! N u n n o c h e i n e ü b e r f l ü s s i g e I n f o r m a t i o n ü b e r d a s W e t t e r. Sorry for that. Wir haben nicht alle Caches gemacht. War auch nicht nötig, um die beiden Schlösser zu öffnen. LoL! Danke für die Runde insoweit.

Abreisetag Richtung Brisbane. Da der Weg vom O'Reilly's bis nach Brisbane nicht sehr lang ist, haben fazzyOne und ich uns entschieden heute mal wieder einen richtigen Cache-Tag einzulegen. Dafür haben wir uns einige Caches auf dem Weg und einen Powertrail im Wald herausgesucht. Erstaunlicherweise konnten wir tatsächlich alle Dosen finden, die wir gesucht haben. [:o] Allerdings wurden wir leider auch gefunden - von einigen Zecken. Zum Glück hat sich scheinbar keine festgesetzt. Danke für diesen sehr erfolgreichen (und sehr heißen!) Tag.
I apologise for the late and generic logs. Had some time off Geocaching but I'm back!
We needed to get the kids out of the house for the day as they were going mental which in turned left us going mental. So we loaded the car up and went for a trot through the forest. It was a great day which was only dampened by the darkness. Full of slow walking from the kids, excited reactions and arguments of who's going to open each cache and a bit of log hopping to get across a small creek.
Thank you cantcacheus, it's a great series to which we'll be back to finish off.

Out for the day with nikid1, luckily the few drops of rain aren't getting any heavier.

After searching for this one for a good 20-30 minutes. We decided to leave it for now and we would try again with fresh eyes on our way out of the forest. After finding #4, we decided that today's adventures will be concluded early as to give the little dudes a bit of a rest.
Teazr and Misy Moo decided to stay on the path and rest while we tried our luck for a second time. While stepping through the trees, I was at the front with Chase (aged 5) behind me and Zayne (aged 3) holding up the rear. I was about 7 meters from GZ when I heard Zayne shout out " I found the treasure!". While I turned around I was trying to picture what it was that he found that might look like treasure. Sure enough, with a huge smile on his face, Zayne was holding up the container.
With shock and extreme pride, I rushed over to see where he had found it. It was laying in the open. We think that we may have disturbed it from its hiding spot on our first attempt. And with the log signed we put it in back to its decent spot.
The thought keeps playing that if we didn't have the young eyes looking with us, we would have completely over looked this one. Cache found and log signed by an extremely proud dad and co . Cheers! Spellzen, Teazr, Misy Moo, Chase and Zayne.

One of the things I scored for my birthday recently was a hat with flaps. I’m definitely becoming a bit more paranoid about getting sunburnt in my old age. At least I can take steps to stop that. Now if only the government would build that wall in space to stop all the aliens getting in that I keep hearing about.
The new hat will never be in the picture you see next to the word “sexy” in the dictionary but it does the job. Mrs Woodyrothwell kept reminding me how ugly the hat is but in the end resigned herself to buying her own. tftc

Took us a while, tracking through bush and picking up logs but eventually super Mum found the cache. TFTC
Found by me, at GZ which was located by geowife.
Having a good day so far, nice and warm!
TFTC!

Could see where it would be hidden from the path using our caching instincts TFTC
This was the first of several in the series that seemed a little more "exposed" than perhaps the CO originally intended. This one was on the ground, under the hinted object. I tucked it away a bit – hope that's okay! All good otherwise. Thanks for the cache and the series, Cantcacheus2014.
Came out today to see if we could do the glider forest trail, found number 3 20 to go, TFTC
