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 after taking a straight line route from the last railway cache. Thx to the COs for placing and maintaining all these caches.
Really water logged, but still a great find. Might need a more water tight container. TFTC
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.Took me a little longer to find than it really should have.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 # 2082.
By the time I got to this one I was pretty wet and kind of regretting not going back for my umbrella. The trees in here dont offer much rain protection either. I decided there wasnt much I could do but keep going. Thankfully this was one was a nice quick find.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.
My second foray into Glider Forest to complete the power trail. Collected 13 caches including the letterbox. TFTC
Found this cache just sitting out in the open. It was wet inside, but fortunately I was able to dry it out and replace the ziplock bag.
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, I enjoyed this area so much I wanted to come back and grab a few more, this time I used the bike as I knew the area better. Seems I have been over this way a lot lately. Only have time for a few so I got on my bike and away I went.
I started off and passed a few that I got yesterday, and reached the first for today in no time. Again, there was no one around here today so it was very peaceful. I only had time to get five or six 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.

Progressing along nicely. I love how we can go into these bush reserves and even though its a Sunday, we have the place to ourselves.
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.

Went for a bush bash to find this cache with Chikin Little doing the navigating. A nice and easy find. Another new container with us being 2nd to sign this time. Such a lovely day to be out for a bushwalk. 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. Unfortunately, this cache cache container was in atrocious condition, with the lid significantly cracked, and the inner container and logbook wet. I managed to just read the bonus clue number from the lid, but this one certainly needs CO attention. Otherwise, thanks Cantcacheus2014 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

It took me some time to find this one. I'll blame the GPSr for being bouncy in the rain, but really, it wasn't that hard. I think I need more practice.
I'm afraid you're going to have to replace this one. The box is broken and everything was soaked, including the logbook.
I managed to get some ink onto the soggy and smelly log book. The log was inside the plastic bag and ironically the only water in the cache was inside the plastic bag. TFTC
We grabbed this while riding to get the letterbox. We tipped out a LOT of water. Very, very wet and smelly. Couldn't sign.
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.
Continuing my ride collection simleys on good coordinates
Thank you for hiding this one

Today i started with this powertrail. I found all boxes and say thanks for hiding and maintenance. TftC
Continuing our walk along the trails this cache was our next target.
We found this cache lying exposed but all is good and dry. When rehiding the cache we added a lot more cammo. Hope it lasts.
Thanks for the cache and fun we had along the trail today.

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. #1867 Finds.

Of course I bush bashed this from the postal cache, only to find that it sat a few meters from a nearby path. Dammit... Signed the log and headed, along a path, to the next. 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.
The 6th find along this power trail this morning...Definitely came the long way to find this one....After a few minutes bushbashing, the cache was found. And another trail could be seen through the trees...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. This one was a little exposed when found, covered with some extra camo once log signed & cache returned to GZ.

big chunk of the talk on our walk around the conservation area had been about my hat. In fact there had been so much topical discussion that Mrs Woodyrothwell had decided to get herself one ASAP. I knew this big ugly thing on my head was making her supremely jealous.
After finishing the trail we made our way to Carindale for lunch, shopping and more importantly hat shopping. I have never been Hat shopping before and it was an arousing experience. I can’t imagine if I would be able to contain my excitement if I ever went lingerie shopping, whatever lingerie is. tftc
