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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Out on a fun caching day with Chamad, GeoNayfee and Team Tyrrell.

After an early start to visit Mt Maroon Caves, we headed back towards Moogerah and stopped by to collect some caches along the way.

Would be quite a sight from a muggle's perspective - car pulling up, 4 people jumping out and looking around for a quick minute, finding something, writing on it, then jumping back in the car.

This one was a quick find.

Thanks for the cache lucasladd

Out today with team Tyrrell, Willis007 and GeoNayFee to hit some target caches in the area. On the list was some particular D/T‘s, oldies, letterboxes, challenges and some trads. With a list set it was planned to get most of these in some form of order. But like all plans things are due to change along the way. It was a fun day with lots laughs along the way with a few long walks. In all we collected around 16 key caches and a few with some unloved.

This was our second cache in a run along the roadside to our next cache on the list, Moogerah. We could not pass by this one so a stop was agreed upon. An easy find no problem grabbing this one. A nice hide and with the log signed and cache replaced as found it was off to the next one.

Thank you for placing this one here, all good with this one.

Chamad, Team Tyrrell, Willis007 and myself decided to go for a spot of geocaching today. We spent a good 7 - 8 hours exploring the Scenic Rim. We travelled to Mt Maroon, Lake Moogerah and several other locations on our travels back to Brisbane.

Today we ended up with 16 finds and bagged ourselves a couple of oldies. Woohoo!

A big thank you to every CO for placing caches at each of these location. Thank you for bringing us out to these wonderful locations. I always love coming out to this part of SEQ, it's always so magical, peaceful and beautiful.

Apologies for the generic post.

Find #1170 - TFTC

A nice quick grab whilst heading back from Mount Maroon this morning.

Log was found on the ground at GZ a little bit wet. Managed to get a scribble on there .

Happy New Years! After being recalled to work for the morning, made the most of our day off as a family and toured through the Boonah, 14 Crossings, Killarney and Warwick regions. Kids were sleeping and we really wanted them to experience the 14 crossings again so we nabbed a bunch of caches on the way.

Plenty of parking and a great hint meant the cache was quickly in hand. Parked up on the southern side (direction of travel) and proceeded to walk across the bridge to quickly grab the cache.

Log was retrieved and signed in a hurry, we had a creek to swim in and some beautiful country to see Smile

Thanks lucasladd, cache is in great condition may it last forever and a day.

I stopped here since my initial DNF but somehow I must have had cache blindness but got the smiley now so all is good. Thanks for all the river crossing caches

Felt like looking for a few caches, so put my geodog Scruffy in the car and headed to the Rathdowney area for the day.

All Good .. TFTC .. Smile

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. Wink

Staying a few days in Kalbar, today we went for a nice drive in the countryside. Such a scenic region, shame it was 36degrees today, a tad too hot to be out of the aircon for too long. Wink

Having looked for this one unsuccessfully before reading previous logs we took the liberty of putting
in a temporary replacement cache. We hope you don't mind lucasladd. Please delete our log if this is a problem. We placed it as close to GZ as ee could. It's a small ehite tube on a star picket. TFTC

23/4/16 spending the weekend at a nearby camp ground with friends and decided this was the perfect opportunity to grab the last few caches needed for our personal challenge of 1000 caches by our 2nd geo-anniversary (which is on 26/4/16). Today I headed out to grab 12 caches which will take me to 999 finds.

First and only DNF for the day. Had a good look around, used the hint but no luck today. TFTH lucasladd

Found @3:37:00 PM.

I found this one on the ground with no lid. Looks like it had been there for a few days. I managed to raise it a foot or so to where it may have come from.

Thanks to lucasladd for the cache

Nothing here to find, checked all the logical spots

Discovered a huge and very alive (hungry looking) wolf spider occupying what we think is the hidey hole the cache was in Twisted It was asleep until Ruzzelz poked it.

Searched around the area but did not turn up the cache.

Found the White Cow relatively easily. Appreciated previous comments about tethering.
Beware fellow cachers - in this area mobile coverage is at best dicky. Up here in the mountains the ancient paper printout may still reign supreme, unless you have saved them to your phone or tablet for "Off-line" use.

We set off today to grab a couple of caches with not much planned, but just to enjoy a relaxing day in the county side Smile This one was next up on the list for us today, so we continued our drive along the country roads and soon arrived at GZ. We walked across the road and bridge, and soon arrived at GZ and spotted the cache exactly where the hint described Big Grin We added our name to the logbook, and headed off for a few more [^]

Whoever dreamed up this name for the creek. I love it. Had to take a photo. Excellent series of caches thank you so much.
 
06-Jun-15
I sort of remember this one. I remember the name. We did not see any white cows, but we did see cows at some of these caches. Smile

I know Bristracker was taking notes about the things we saw along the way. Maybe this was the one where we saw the raptor over the fields. WinkWink

Out caching for the day with Diamonjs and Aussie Liahona. Had completed the earlier water crossing series so was out today to look for the newer ones. TFTC.

Thanks for placing these Water Crossing caches lucasladd. We've enjoyed our day out caching here with friends on a beautiful sunny winters day. Found this one and all is good [^][^]
 
03-Jun-15
Nice quick find but interesting to see another log had my idea that maybe a tether might be in order as I did nearly drop it and I would hate to look for it there. I am loving these water crossings. TFTC

Decided on a 'country' run today as my calendar was clear.
Picked Beaudesert, Rathdowney, Boonah as a likely run. Glad I did! Smile

A quick find here.
I hope no-one drops it while extracting from it's hide.
Might be better with a thin tether wire?

**FTF** Joint FTF with Gullivers Travels54. With many of these under our belt already we could not pass up the chance for some more in the series. Absolutely love this neck of the woods. Thank you for placing this series out here, some creative finds, some clever hides and some beautiful places. Sorry for the generic logs, but hats off to your effort in the series. We look forward to many more of your caches. Tftc
