Whoops that should be a DNF not a log.

Hi lai_alexekajnomae,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 45 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

We had a good look around and found where we thought it should be... but no cache for us today.
 
26-May-20
Looked for a while and rummaged through a few different rock crevices with a stick because I wasn’t too keen on putting my hand in all the spiderwebs. Maybe would’ve had more luck if I had a torch so I could see what was in the crevices.
 
14-May-20
Took a bit of searching. And I had to reach in where there were spiders. Yikes!

I think it has been disturbed as there is a pile of timber close to GZ. And had to put the log and the remains of some swaps back in the container. I've added in a couple of new swaps to make up for it

Tftc
 
09-May-20
Checked all the big rocks but no luck. Thanks anyway!
 
04-May-20
We looked further around the designated area but still dnf. It was fun looking anyway.
 
02-May-20
Had a good look around with no luck! Still a really fun spot tho!!!
 
26-Apr-20
A local told us where he found it last weekend, but now there is no container
 
16-Apr-20

04-Mar-20
Got it. Great one. Took about 10 minutes
 
29-Feb-20
Another great find in a beautiful spot. The coordinates are a bit off.
 
Interesting find we trekked through the wilderness, we made it through. Didn't know how lost we were till we found youuu.
 
18-Feb-20
Looked in all the likely spots and came up empty-handed.

Looked over my shoulder to study the area and a glint about 10m away caught my eye. Turned out to be the cache.

TFTC!
 
15-Feb-20
Could not find it

One of the little joys in life is to go hiking through the bush on a stinking hot day, sweating hard and looking for some plastic. Some people want to go to Disneyland, enjoy a musical or maybe grow a refined moustache but who would give up wearing a sweaty wet shirt and have cobwebs dressing up their face to find a cache.

We had a bit of trouble finding this one until we read some old logs that told us to shuffle on a bit. I’m getting on a bit in years so shuffling is my preferred method of transport. The older I get the more things I find to complain about as well so I’m aging nicely. tftc
 
26-Jan-20
This one was a little tricky, after reading previous logs I realised I needed to widen the search a little. It wasn't too long before I spotted the hide and had the cache in hand.

Log signed, returned as found.

Thanks lai_alexekajnomae for the cache.
 
11-Jan-20
Tricky little cache. Small hands come in handy! *Wilbo
 
05-Jan-20
Easy find 17m away from where gps pointed to
 
03-Jan-20
After arriving at the GZ and reading that hint we looked around for a minute or two and soon the cache was in hand! TFTC! Cache find no. 139!
 
09-Nov-19

A great hiding spot
 
01-Sep-19

01-Sep-19
Nice hide lots of fun
 
28-Aug-19
Nearly gave up but then read that the co-rods are a bit out. In hand very soon after!
Found a spot to sign the teeny tiny log book- probably needs to be replaced. Tftc
 
24-Aug-19
This took a bit of the searching. Finally resorted to the previous logs. Sure enough, coordinates were bit off. Soon cache was found, log signed and off to the next cache.
My 178th find.
TFTC, lai_alexekajnomae
 
11-Aug-19
Great area TFTC
 
11-Aug-19
Found it with help from the photos in the log! Coordinate were a bit out for me
 
27-Jul-19
Took a few minutes but read previous logs and widen out search. I got GZ at S27 32.367 E153 02.919.

Out and about with Gunnie69 looking for jewels to solve the mystery at the museum. Plan was to tackle caches around Mt Gravatt and Holland Park, and the seek the final path to the vault.

Thanks for the cache and hunt. Big Grin
 
27-Jul-19
Out and about on a morning jewel heist with Ghostgums, this was the last jewel hosting cache we needed to secure the third level of the challenge. We arrived to find a warning sign suggesting there could be falling trees and debris after recent burn offs. Pfft we thought, we're only nipping in briefly so we'll be fine. Wink

We followed the GPS and ended up in area that presented a number of hiding locations. Sadly, after a decent hunt, we had no container. Twisted We paused to read through some previous logs and gleaned some critical information that led us to a different spot. On arrival, the container was spotted immediately and retrieved for business. [^]

Names in the log, Ghostgums snapped some more accurate coords, the cache was returned as found and we headed off.

Thanks for the cache lai_alexekajnomae.

After a cold morning start I decided to do something different this morning and combine MTB riding with a little geocaching (well that is not different for ruzzelz). What was actually different / new was a first visit to Toohey Forest park for MTB riding and for that matter geocaching, virgin territory here.

It was a great day out in the park and makes me wonder how I have avoided caching in the location for all these years. Oh that's right this is the darkside.

In a rock
 
17-Jun-19
Nice one!
 
07-Jun-19
This is a very beautiful part of Toohey Forest. The coords were way out for me so I sat down on a nearby rock and read through some logs. Soon found. Log is quite full but I squeezed in my name in an early part of the logbook.
Thanks for bringing me here.
 
18-May-19
Afternoon caching in Toohey forest and surrounds.
As I had misread the description of a nearby cache we walked here instead.
An enjoyable walk even if the traffic can be heard all the time.
Thank you for hiding

30-Apr-19
Coords were about 12m out for me, but grabbed it after reading a few logs. This area reminds me so much of Stanthorpe! Thanks Big Grin
 
28-Apr-19
Can’t find it
 
27-Apr-19
Took way too long with both of us searching the rock wall when at last TeamARF made the call. Our last one today as gave up on a big bush bash for another one further in! TFTC
 
27-Apr-19
Last cache collected today on this run to the dark side. After a few DNFs today, this hide was looking like it was going to make another one. A read of past logs, it was noted that GZ was out by up to 10m. So went to the obvious 'big rock' and found the container sandwiched between the rocks. Thanks for placing this cache lai_alexekajnomae.
 
22-Apr-19
Great spot
