Stumptacular Greenbank, Queensland, Australia
By Black Flag 78 (adopted by Crew 153) on 13-Oct-15. Waypoint GC653D8

After finishing work in the neighbourhood I decided to grab these caches. New container put in place for CO.Black Flag 78 thank you for placing and Crew 153 maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.

GCLOGAN Day 10Out with TBU1BIKESU on a sunny day to get more smiles. Found the cache and signed the log .Thanks for the cache . Crew 153

We spent here in the Logan Shire 10 days - mainly to participate in the GCLOGAN events where we met known and new cachers.All good things are coming to an end, so also these days.We used today to clean up caches which we didn't like to leave behind or which we passed during our today's target caches.We passed this one, and signed the log.Tftc Crew 153 for adopting.

Over from NZ visiting relatives and of course, just have to do some caching as well. Headed out west today to walk some of the trails and make a bit of a start on the Running Man geoart near here..The battery on the phone was running low, by the time I got here. Unfortunately, only some of the swag was found, but container itself is missing. Needs a maintenance check. Thx anyway for bringing me here.

Empty container with a couple toy items and no log. Tree stump is very exposed and crumbling, cache is extremely open for any muggles to see.

Came across container with no lid full of water and plastic toys contacted cache adopter confirmed placed back needs repairs

Yes, thats a decent stump. I came in from the North and fortunately the magpies arent too scary at this time of year.I knelt down and discovered some eyes on me!A tiny bit of water inside but logsheet is fine so TFTC.

A quick find along the pathway while chasing down the nearby Running Man Series, TFTC Crew 153

Nice easy find today. TFTC

What a gorgeous winter day! Perfect for caching. Muggle-free too.

TFTC ...

A quick find and our geo kids first log, it’s a bit mouldy may need to replace log TFTC

Stinky and wet. Thanks for the placement and smiley.

Another easy find in this area. Cache logs quite damp. More recent baggy was dried and paper replaced. Needs a little TLC tftc.

Found it

That was a good spot but we couldn’t sign the book as it was wet

Out on the bike today for some exercise and to just check out some different areas. While I still have my challenges and target items to collect, I still like just getting out and going for a ride. I saw this area and of particular interest was the Running man Cache that was nearby.

I started off and the fist cache was a DNF, meet some people working there dog who were very interested in what I was doing. The next was an easy find, the hint was not really needed for this one. The next was my running man cache, another easy find and the hint did help. Thanks for the caches along this path. I signed the logs and replaced caches as I found them. Thanks for the fun here today.

Today, I spent the day with georode in the Logan LGA area for a number of recreational activities: a paddle, a run (Running Man), fishing (for caches), and finding a few challenges.
The morning's rain was relentless as we questioned our sanity to geocache, but during our walk in Boronia Bushland Reserve, the rain subsided, and we started to enjoy our finds. The day commenced with a short kayak session in Scrubby Creek, followed by the completion of the *Running Man* geoart. A few extra Boronia Heights geocaches were found as we travelled around the area, and then made the detour to Logan Gardens Water park for a couple of strategic reverse Wherigo TOTT caches. The day was finished with a visit to Burbank Bushland for a couple of laughable challenges.

After finishing off the *Running Man* geoart, I managed to convince georode to extending our walk to this traditional cache. Luckily this cache was found in almost no time at all, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Black Flag 78 for the cache placement, and Crew 153 for its ongoing maintenance.

Out for a daytrip in this area with Davidwazza for some caching.

More (mostly unimportant) information can be found in my caching friends comprehensive log

Thanks for the geocache

Sunday. Que Sera and I met up in this area with our push bikes today. We were hoping to clean up a few solved puzzles and traditional caches. Lovely area here and we spent about 4 hours riding and caching. Found this one in the obvious spot, although the log was totally soaked and we couldn’t write on it at all. We drained the water out of the container and Que Sera has placed a nice new little container inside the cache container with a dry log.

This was the 4th of 26 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***Crew 153*** for showing us this place

Mrs Slow Puncture and i decided to meet up with our push bikes and find some caches around here. All up we found 28 caches and 1 DNF over a 4 hour bike ride . This sure was stumptacular. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Easy find, thank you, did not sign as I didn't feel like putting my hand among the many small spiders who have made the cache camoflauge their home. Container is still easily found and well camouflaged.

The stump was very obvious and it didn’t take long to locate the container. Unfortunately, the log is soaked. Thanks for the cache

Trying to reach a milestone in less than 2 weeks so today I tried to shorten my list and this one was one of them. Found a park and a short walk to the suspected GZ and I soon spied the cache. Unfortunately it had a bit of water in it which I tipped out and I left my scratchy signature and resealed the baggy before replacing all as found. TFTC

Found it all good dry
Thank u

Another nice find with GeoDad we even took an ooshie for his first ever swag

Easy find

Fun find

Found, signed and replaced with new eyes.
Inside is a bit wet.
Muchas gracias todo, de verdad gracias.

Good cache

Quick find left some swag.Thank you

I grew up in the area & spent 18 years playing in that park. I returned in my 20s, purchasing our first house a street away from my old family home. After starting our own family we spent many hours with our two girls playing in the very same park. We have since moved from the area but often pop into the neighbourhood to keep our memories alive. From the description on the page I knew exactly where the cache could be without even navigating. The area hasn't changed a bit! Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

Found!!!
Can’t miss that beauty of a stump
TFTC!

Out on the Southside picking up a few target caches. Grabbed this one while in the area

Find #11092 @ 11:37
Thanks Black Flag 78 (adopted by Crew 153) for giving us a reason to visit.

As we walked along this path we soon came across Stumptactular.
Cache not found in the first place we looked...but in the second
All good here.

We are liking this area

We had a lovely stroll to GZ. This one was found by jodsta83 quickly thanks to the hint!

TFTC, Crew 153

Found while having an impromptu caching day with swearah. A few traditionals for good measure today. Nice little hide. Tftc

Sitting at home tinkering with my geocaching database and I came across some unsolved puzzles that I managed to nut my way through. After dreadful weather over the Easter weekend it seemed wasteful to be sitting inside now that the weather had changed for the better this weekend. These solved coordinates were the motivation to head out and enjoy the sunshine.

After a couple of puzzle cache finds I decided to take a rambling route back home to pick up an extra couple of caches along the way, including this one. I found a suitable parking spot that bisected 2 cache targets and headed to this one first. Only a short walk required until I found myself searching GZ where the cache was quickly spotted. TFTC

Out with RoddyC to put out a few challenges, we decided to go in for this one.

Nice quick find.

The price to find this one was a face full of web and a fistful of ants.

But this is definitely a stump-tacular. Parked on the nice wide road and made the walk down past only a handful of late afternoon exercisers.

TFTC!

It is an impressive stump... the magpie warning is still here but I saw no sign of them... was surprised that the last physical entry in the log was in September...

Tftc...

3rd for the day

Thanks for the find

TFTC! Another great find with cute little collectables. Noticed Magpie sign on the way in however we got lucky and they weren’t fussed with us walking through the park. Thank you so much!

Dropping a friend home to New Beith and of course there are going to be a few stops along the way.

**Found 21/08/2020 at 3:21:49 PM Smiley #855 **

Heading to Browns Plains, was gonna stop and grab these caches in the parklands. Found the first one before my knee decided today was not the day to be walking so returned to the car.

Nice stump! Love the size of it and also the proximity of the cache to the path yet it's five years old. Cache is in great condition and left as found, nice and hidden.

Thanks for the cache **Crew 153**, another one of yours down, only what feels like a thousand to go

Found yesterday 10/5/20 but forgot to log. Used a stick to get rid of all the spiders

Navigated to, and found by quickly by “T‘’. TFTC we took the trackable Waldo.

From Holland on family visit in Australia, i've been looking today for caches in Hilton Park, Lennon Park, Boronian Bushland Reserve and Regents Park. This was the third one. He really honors his name. What a huge stump. I left a trackable from Holland here. He is called Waldo. TFTC

Found tyftc. Having a week caching our way from newcastle to brisbane. Find #1/1741

Another day, another trip to Jimboomba.
Turned in here for a cache on my way North again.

A bit worried as there was a Magpie warning sign. but later spotted the Magpie chick, it was a teenage Magpie and the parent looked like it wanted to swoop it far more than me.

Thank you for this cache Crew 153

Out and about with Snickersallan before today's event.

Quick easy find. All good.

Nice winters day to be out and about with E_Smiley.
Great hint and we were not at all stumped here, it sure is an old beauty.

Great cache for beginners. Thanks

Found @ 5:29pm on a bike ride - the second of three found today

I was expecting this to be harder to get to based on the terrain rating. This would be a 1.5 in my neck of the woods unless the cache isn't where it is meant to be??

The cache itself had an 8-legged guardian who was determined to stay in position as I retrieved and replaced this one.

Thanks again Crew 153 (and Black Flag 78)

Nice walk

The Blob enjoys the easy ones

Found it, little easy

Nice n easy

tftc. I love stumps

Tftc nice and easy

Even though some of the paths have been a little slippery because of the rain over the last couple of days it has been interesting walking these paths. TFTC.

Out looking for a few caches before the weather gets humid after all the rain we have had over the last few days. Walked along the walking/bike trail and arrived at GZ. Found cache, floating where its hidden. Paper was damp, however writeable. Unfortunately I did not have ant supplies on me today to replace with a dry log. TFTC

Found with the help of my geodog Scruffy,
Well this one could be in the top or at the bottom ... of course I picked the wrong spot to check first ..

All Good .. TFTC ..

I motored onto this one next. I did see a muggle parents and child on a bike near GZ which made my heart skip a beat. But they soon moved on - leaving me to search in peace. I find the cache straight away. A good little hide there indeed.

I signed the log and re-hid the cache as found. TFTC Black Flag 78 and Crew 153 for the maintenance

Went and did a Maintenance run and check up one last time just to make sure all was good. Still in place and awaiting to be found.

Stumptacular was transferred from Black Flag 78 to user Crew 153

Maintenance run and the cache is still in tip top shape, all good to go.

QEF with my new georecruits Fuego & Cookie Jam. I think they're hooked. Made a couple of trades with items in the cache. A great introduction for them! No muggles in sight. TFTC, SL

The hint confused me at this one, but I did spot a funky mushroom because of it. After not locating the cache where I thought the hint said it would be I lifted my game and had better luck

After reviewing some logs it appears that I didn't revise my hint description appropriately so have fixed this for it to make more sense.

Out today to get some fresh air and a walk with the geohounds, hubby parked nearby and found this one easily while I came from the other nearby cache.
Had a few hiding places to choose from but managed to find okay.
Logbook signed and cache returned to its hide.

TFTC

I am heading to Tweed head and have allowed a few days caching along the way from Toowoomba.
Over 2 half days and 2 full days caching i found over 130 caches.
Today was a full day caching and found 50+ caches.
Found after a short search.
Thanks for the cache.

I repositioned the car after gathering the two caches to the west, then strolled down from the nearby road. As I approached a very obvious GZ appeared before me and with a quick scan, the container was located.... [^] After being met with muggles after the last cache, I scanned up and down the path before removing anything, then swooped and did what I needed to do...

Details in the log, another glance to the left and right and the cache was back in place.

Cheers Black Flag 78

I nearly got a dnf on this one. It was a big head slap moment when I found it. Now off to Near the Crest.

Continuing my walk along this path with the geodog, he had a few barks from the natives as we passed. At the GZ, I circled the stump and then looked aloft. TFTC Black Flag 78

Nice easy find, I don't think the trackable is there anymore though

Tftc at least we got this one

12.45pm. Nice walk and an easy find.
Thank you. David and Kim.

The kid has learnt and found it on his own (they grow up so fast )... Great find TFTC

Nice walk to other to other and find easy logged and put back same place TFTC

Found it all good thanks TFTC

Lovely walk. TFTC!

Tough mother Monday. Beautiful day for a walk.Tftc

A nice wander along the path with the tough mothers. A quick find tftc

A quick find with TM today tftc

A nice path for a wander

Out with Tough Mothers on a stumptacular walk.

It's very overcast, slightly raining and extremely muggy. So why are we caching today? Because it's the 30th of the month. There's a challenge cache where you need to find (among other things) three caches placed by the one owner on the 30th of the month for twelve months. This is our second last month - we'll finish it in March. And we chose to do three caches by Black Flag - Entangled, Stumptacular, and Bridgenificent.

This is the second, and after the success of 'Entangled' we were looking forward to a nice quick find for this one. We parked in Lennons Road and walked down the concrete pathway then right to the GZ area. Bit if a walk into the scrub, but thankfully no real long grass to make soggy socks the order of the day. Again, cache in excellent condition. Now on to the Bridge!

Found at 11.55am on 30th January 2016. TFTC.

Looks like the cache's namesake has fallen over, but happily the cache is doing just fine. Cheers!!

After the last stop I turned around and headed back in this direction. Just as I was getting close to GZ a lady on a bike rode past, and I thought that would have been a great way to get the caches here, but alas no real forward planning today.

Anyway I gave it a minute while checking my phone so she was out of sight and then ducked in for a quick find. Signed and replaced.

TFTC

Maintenance run, cache good and ready to find.

Nice walk
