Put one of my numbers into the new coordinates incorrectly but found the error and fixed it. I found the cache in a spot I had already looked but dug deeper on second sweep and found it. At first after I cleaned the mud off, I thought I was not going to be able to get it open but persistence paid off! Luckily it's a rite in the rain strip as it's wet even with the plastic bag. I did not bury it but it may be by the time the next finder comes along. TFTC

24/7/2024 Find #7103Wednesday wanderings out and about with cosmonaut97 today. And after time at the movies, we decided to grab a few nearby caches before our day was done. I swear Ive been here and done this one before! I remembered collecting the information, and the area that the final was. No recollection whether it was a DNF that I didnt log or what has happened but today we were back and managed to make the find. Oh, and I also stepped in dog poo Thanks for the cache genyo.

Not found in 1st couple of locations, but read a previous log which put us on the right track. TFTC.

Today I was heading up north to sign some challenges that I had been saving up to sign in July. On my way I passed this multi and it looked like it wouldn't take long so I stopped to have a look. It's an interesting old hall with a varied past. Today it was unoccupied and I was able to have a good snoop around. Then I found the numbers that I needed, did the calcs, and headed off to find the cache.At GZ the cache was a quick find but it was again covered in dirt so I had to clean it off before being able to open it. All good inside with the logsheet still dry. Thanks for the cache genyo, and for showing me another interesting part of Brisbane's history!

Thank you for taking me to this spectacular hall. TFTC

Needed a N for the Spell J-U-N-E in June that wasnt a mystery (and probably not a traditional). Anyway, I dropped my son at cricket at Chermside and decided to procrastinate from the assessment marking and reporting that I should be doing by checking the area for matching caches. Sure enough, this one wasnt too much of a detour. There was (at a guess) a lower primary age ballet lesson going on inside the hall but I managed to sit there and work out the coordinates without being too inconspicuous, I think. I initially thought I had them wrong because Id assumed the cache would be somewhere on site. After double checking and reading 1 or 2 logs, off I headed towards GZ. I can confirm it is an earthworm and cockroach haven, even in the daytime. Albeit the cockroach was dead. And the worms move very slowly. I thought I was looking on the ground given the comments about being buried but it turns out I complicated the search! The cache was where I first looked! However, it was nearly 100% buried (again)! And covered in mud. I only found it after I decided to take some photos for the pleasure of those viewing this log entry that I saw a glint of colour when I zoomed in on a photo. I went back to the car and cleaned the cache and log papers with some anti-bacterial wipes and some tissues. I also found a mini baggie / clip seal bag on the ground (hopefully that was dropped by a geocacher and rather than an elicit someone else!) and I put the log book inside that, returning it to the cache. Finally, I re-covered the cache with leaf litter but I imagine itll soon sink into the dirt again. Depending on how long it takes for someone to come along and find it once more. TFTC!

Yesterday, Shazzar66 and I were around the area looking for caches. Particularly, Shazzar66 was after Ad Labs. Driving nearby to here, I noticed a multi. I'm trying to find Multi's on Wednesdays for a challenge I'm nearly finished so today after work, and on my way elsewhere, I called by here. A lovely spot and a nice, quick Multi. Funny but when I arrived at GZ, I had a sneaking suspicion where a good hiding place may be. It turned out that I was pretty spot-on.It only took me a moment to find the cache. Unfortunately the o-ring has disappeared from the cache container, so the log sheets were a little damp. I added a new sheet of waterproof paper with my caching name on it, and replaced everything back where I found it. Afterwards, I was off to find one cache that I missed yesterday, and then continued onto the 'darkside' to meet up with friends for dinner.Thanks for an enjoyable cache, genyo.

Had tried this one before without success so I came back tonight to have another try. Checked my answers and the resulting coordinates were the same but realised I hadn't uploaded the coordinates last time, not surprising that I couldn't find it!Made sure they were in properly and off I went. Arrived at GZ and eeww!!! it was cockroach city here with some giant milipedes as well!!! I have a phobia about cockroaches so it took a lot of determination to not run screaming back to the car!! Shone the torch, stamped and whacked my hiking pole to scatter the scuttling hordes and used my pole to flip the container from its hide. God bless your little cotton socks Fangsoki for your previous excavation as I wouldn't have been able to get it out. Used a plastic bag as gloves to open it and signed my name and returned it. The library bit was good but the final was a horror movie for me.Not recommended at night if you're scared of roaches. TFTC

Today is probably not the best to go caching - but I needed a multi today.After visiting the posted co-ords, I sorted out some final co-ordindates and was soon on my way.Annoyingly there was a muggle near GZ - but he soon moved off and I made the swoop. It was well buried - and somewhat damp - but I signed my name and let it dry in the car for a little while. I then returned everything to its home.A great little look at some local history. TFTC genyo

I ride through this area every week and havent managed to have a go at this geo yet. But today was the day. After making hard work of the calcs , found a suitable set of coordinates and located quickly at gz. TFTC

Im learning about an area I didnt visit much when I lived in BrisVegas but I loved this little gem! Though I didnt love the meat-eating mozzies at GZ! Cache in good condition though the log was slightly damp.

Today, a newly published kayak geocache lured me to spend the morning kayaking South Pine River, before returning home via a stop in Bald Hills for a short walk.
Just after lunch, it was then time to grab my visiting parents from the airport, which allowed for a couple of stops and walks in Wavell Heights and Northgate prior to my pickup.

I arrived at the posted coordinates, and perhaps had a similar reaction to the CO and others, that this was a quite cute community hall (ex-library?). No issues with collecting the required information and performing the arithmetic, and then my new GZ coordinates projected to a reasonable location. I then took the short drive towards that destination.

I checked an obvious spot first, but I didn’t see a cache, so I then spent a few minutes looking and scoping out other spots. After reading a few logs, I then returned back to my initial spot, and after having a little more thorough search, I had the prize in hand. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and I signed the new logbook placed by alisnan. Thanks genyo for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I collected the required numbers & quickly came up with the coordinates for GZ. Being only a short distance away I decided to walk. With a cache uncovered I moved a short distance away the sign the log. As previously stated the log sheet was full so I have added a new one. At this time a resident of the street decided to come out & strip bark off a nearby fallen branch, moving back & forth across the street. Why do I always have the luck of muggles making it Impossible to return a cache that is in my hand? I wandered back & forth along the street. I walked around the block. Now the muggle was pruning back bushes on the street frontage. I had to explain my mission & asked to be ignored while I replaced the cache Somehow she had already noticed the activity over the previous years. TFTC

genyo I found your cache Northgate - Virginia Municipal Library on 7/5/2023, 11:05 am. This is my find 5241 and find # 5 today. Gathered the required information and came up with a couple of coordinates. Tried the logical one and no problems locating the cache, coordinates spot on. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

In Brisbane for work which is great as I can explore new areas.

This cache was spot on. Tried to overthink the clues but trusted my basic idea and off to GZ for a quick find. Log book full and many grubs protecting the cache.

Thanks to genyo for the fun and the adventure.

Nobody about on this hot day.
TFTF

Whoops. Forget to mention coordinates bang on and cache found with ease ️

All quiet here on a Sunday afternoon, quickly found the relevant numbers which we plugged in the GPSr and off we went to the GZ. Coords were spot on and the cache was found quickly, logbook signed and everything returned as found. TNLNSL TFTC

While in the area I thought I’d have a look at this multi…

A nice looking spot where it didn’t take long to acquire the required information… I considered walking to GZ but thought better of it as I wasn’t confident with one of my numbers…

At GZ I took advantage of ample parking and I surprised myself by spotting the cache within seconds of arriving… that never happens…’

Tftc…

I was in the area with 20 mins to spare and saw this cache which has been unloved for a while. The information required was found and calculations done. I headed to GZ and was able to pull up within two meters from it. After a quick search the cache was found.
All good with it and a nice easy little multi.
TFTC

With the rest of the family away for the weekend I had the whole day free to myself. I don't often get a chance to cache over on the North side of town so today was the perfect opportunity to rectify this and pick up some solved puzzles and other caches in my to-do database.

Having obtained the required information I sat on the shade of the steps to do my calculations. My inattention to detail had me using the month not the day and I had to rework my calculations to get something that looked reasonable for GZ. With correction done I drove off to GZ where the cache was quickly located.

The current logsheet is completely full and I had to find a space sideway on the log to squeeze in my name. TFTC

Over this way today to attend a meeting. Decided to collect this one that I had solved and not found previously. Today with a couple more years experience and it was a very quick park and grab. Not sure what I was doing last time, although I remember I had the kids with me and the neighbours across the road arrived home in his car. So probably got spooked and left

Some great houses around here. Worked out the answers to the clues and headed down to GZ where the cache was food safe and dry. TFTC

Always great to discover hidden history. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC genyo

We drove through this lovely little suburb, admiring the old Queenslanders and wishing we had enough money to buy one, before arriving at the old library building. After some debate about what numbers the letters represented, we managed to get a feasible set of coordinates without too much drama and headed down, where DisSister found the cache in short order.. Some lovely paperbarks in the area! TFTC, genyo. =^.^=

Tftc

11/8/20 15:29 not that maths is a strong point but I managed to grab the well camouflaged container to sign an already full log. TFTC genyo

Lovely historic building in a suburban street. Found quickly after solving the puzzle - had to use a stick for assistance. TFTC

I have been trying to get back into solo geocaching lately. I don't often go geocaching without friends but decided that since I have a podcast on geocaching I should probably be a little more active and with covid everything is currently a solo activity.

I remember attempting this multi years ago but not finding the container. Today I grabbed the info needed and headed off to the final coords.

I had a handy stick in the car because of a nearby wherigo and using it to poke I very quickly found the container. Back to the car to sign the logbook. I signed my name over someone elses who had faded as the logbook is full as mentioned in many previous logs.

With my name signed I replaced everything as found and my stick and I headed off to enjoy the rest of the sunny day. Thanks for the cache genyo

I targeted this multi today, I liked the description of the hall and wanted to check it out.

Geopup and I headed over to the posted co-ords and noted the details needed to calculate the final. With the final co-ords in my phone, I headed off in the wrong direction (of course), and didn't realise until I had walked about 400 metres. Was trying to multi task and wasn't doing it well.

When we finally arrived at GZ, the cache was found quickly. Log signed and replaced as found, we made our way back to the car. The log is full, I added my name down the side.

Thanks genyo for the multi, I really enjoyed visiting this lovely hall.

Quick find at GZ with geogirl this morning. Beautiful weather and a nice quiet location for suburbia
Thanks for the cache! Log book is pretty full but still room to squeeze our name in

Out for the evening house escape with the Geotoddler. A fun little educational multi and a quick find. Log book is full and needs replacing but otherwise all good here. TFTC

Hooray of challenge Monthly June

Was here 2 months ago trying to find this one searched the walls the trees and got eating by mozzies. Came back today armed with a new attitude and a can of mozzie spray. Found it after i widened my search to 10 mths from my coordinates..

Nice multi I loved hearing about the history of this area. Must admit I took an alternative path to solving this one

Headed out to GZ on the way to work. It’s already 28 degrees at 7 am . That should truly be illegal.

Nice quick find. Cache and log are in good condition. The log is almost full and I don’t carry spare RITR paper - sorry!

Thanks for a great multi. TB visits.

Nice n quick multi after work! Nice hall to visit and a great plaque in memory of the old library

After gathering the required info, I headed to GZ, having to trust my own navigation skills since my speakers are cutting in and out in my car
Coords were spot on making for a quick find. Thanks for the multi!

As I was in the area I had to do a couple of caches, first a trad and then this short and straightforward multi cache.

Numbers collected, maths done and the final was a quick find
Thank you genyo for this cache
R

I wanted to clear my DNF for this one so as I was in the area I checked my previous calculations and headed to the same place which i had searched last time I was here 2 years ago

It took me 15 minutes to put my hand on the cache. My second DNF conversion for the day.

So have been in Brisbane (well Eagle Farm/Pinkenba) for a couple of days for work. It’s been great to spend some time in a different part of Brisbane to facilitate getting some caches found. Have found around 25 on this two day trip which has been fab always knew 2 days was too long for the work trip but wasn’t going to turn it down!!
So as I anticipated the work part of my trip finished at lunch time today so after lunch what could I possibly do with myself. Hmm a few caches to be found unfortunately not too many in the area but no matter any extra finds are a bonus.
multis are my thing at the moment so headed here from Pinkenba to find a couple of multis to hopefully help me qualify for a challenge. I found this one to be very confusing. Was relieved when I eventually unearthed the cache. Hint for others trust your instincts for the mayor’s surname it may seem like a trick question but it is not. TFTC and the interesting history so glad to find this one.

Quick find once correct co-ords worked out. Tftc

Out chasing couple caches for a challenge this the last one TFTC genyo #1238

We found this multi for a challenge we are completing. The spot was a place we never knew existed. A pretty building in a lovely street. The gz co ords were a bit out on my phone, but we found the cache and recorded our name. Tftc

Nice quick find

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:10am. The cache was found quickly. TFTC

I had completely forgot I needed a cache for the day, so a bit after 8pm I ventured out to grab this one. Being in the dark made the hunt for this one a bit more difficult, but I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC!

Today I flew from Albury to Sydney and then on to Brisbane. After I'd settled myself into my hotel near the airport, I headed out for a couple of hours caching before dinner. I wandered up to the source of the information and collected what I needed to collect, did the sums and walked along to GZ. Final coordinates good so the cache was quickly found. TFTC, Biggles.

Needing multis I stopped here after dropping the Daught to the airport. What a beautiful
Old Hall and built in the prestigious year of my birth. Quiet Friday so lucked with a very rapid find at GZ. Tftc

Needed a cache for the day and this one was on the way home. Had previously done the calculations but didn't go to the final. Now you know why.

Started my search and was thinking my numbers were wrong did I dug a little deeper.

Cache found, log signed and all replaced as found. TFTC

27 November 2018 3:18 pm
Happened to Handshow in a break working done stuff out - saw the S....... E...... and blurted out "Are you a cacher too?"
Well that was the start of the adventure... thanks for the cache, is
It's nice to start getting back involved again.

I’m thrilled I got the calculations right. Was working today in the area with privatears and a muggle (who had been sworn to secrecy). TFTC

Out with jemilucy today worked out cords and went for a quick walk tftc

Out with Benny boppers. First find for the day. Tftc

Having a day caching with RoddyC, hatzofff and patrol14 in the local area.
Nice quick multi to solve a nice hide and a quick find here today.

Found October 24, 2018

Out with RoddyC, Snickersallan and Hatsofff for a day of caching on the northside. Quick find.

Found on 24 October 2018. TFTC, genyo

We came across your cache, genyo, on our geocaching day with Patrol14 and Snickersallan.

We pulled up at the old building and were thankful to park in the shade of the street tree. Found said plaque and noted the numbers. We all did the calculations and arrived at the same answers. Built in geocheckers, eh? We arrived for more shade parking and the cache was in hand quickly.

Log signed and cache replaced at 9:49 AM on October 24, 2018. TFTC.

Caching today with the Logan group to discover caches on the 'other' side of town. Easy find today.
Great to go to places like this even though the building is not being used for its original purpose.

After pulling an all-nighter at the office on a Friday night, which must be some sort of crime, I was making my way home. There was a break in the rain and I started counting my lucky stars but I lost count on whatever number comes after two. I was in a caffeinated recurring cycle of pain and a cache was the only remedy.

It took a while to find a spot to park the car and I sauntered over to the library to gather some information. The data was retrieved and a brief analysis only led to the conclusion that my bladder needed to get rid of some coffee. I drove to a cafe to use the facilities and grab another coffee to keep momentum going. My brain was in overdrive but my faculties were non-existent. The coords looked good so I drove back to GZ.

When I arrived I noticed there was very little to search and the pangs of doubt set in. I had made a serious investment on caffeine over the night and started to think whether I could have saved some money buying a bag of crystal-meth and ending up with the same calculated GZ.

I found the cache in the first place I dared to dig after looking around for a while. There comes a time when too much coffee can be a dangerous thing. I had reached that point and exceeded it and was flying by the seat of an empty coffee cup. OMG (Oh My Geocache), I couldn’t decide whether I needed another toilet stop or a coffee. tftc

Saturday. Out at Northgate way this morning and thought it would be good to grab a multi whilst in this area. I think we’ve fished out most of the multis in our home area now. So needing one for a certain challenge I went for this multi as it had a good sized container and to be honest, just the one stop off point to collect info. I did do a double take on the final because it looked like it was in a very strange spot on my map and I thought that can’t be right, but right it was! Did a bit of a CITO in the area and signed the log. Cache was found quickly enough (despite my poor eyesight). Enjoyed grabbing this multi as there used to be much to do about the Lord Mayor who was in charge at the time of the Library’s opening and some of my family members… but that’s another story! Nice and enjoyable.

This was the only cache found on this morning's trip.

Thanks ***genyo***, for showing us this place.

A nice adventure around this lovely suburb. Tftc

Out on a solo adventure today chasing the numbers to try and catch up for the hidden creatures event.

This cache was a huge trip down memory lane for me today! I used to walk from school past this hall nearly every day in the late 80's. A lot has changed since then in this street.

At the final coords the container was found without a hassle.

Thanks for the cache and memory trip genyo

Out on a hunt with bubba

Just enough time to get this one on the way home

Came here years ago to a craft fair

Off to gz
Took a bit to find
Not sure it is where or how the CO put it

Nice little multi.
Tftc

Had a look, but was feeling pretty suspect as a lone adult. Next time!

Not sure why but it took a few minutes to locate this cache

Nice little multi

Thanks

This cache brought back a lot of memories. We used to live in Peary St. spend many an hour in the library and in the hall in the early 70’s. Thanks for placing this cache genyo

I was running early to meet Selva Girls after work this afternoon, and so knowing she had found this one, I pulled up near WP1 to gather information. Good to see the premises still being maintained and used by the community. I had a few doubts about the numbers for CC, but took an educated guess that more was required than stated and came up with some numbers that looked ok. I parked near gz, looking at a feature, but initially dismissing it as my gps had me 20m or so farther afield. A good hunt and nothing to show for it saw me back at said feature using my geosenses instead of the gps, and what do you know...a cache. I added my name to the log and rehid it, before heading off to ty and sneak in another find before meetup time. Tftc genyo

Today IolantheK and I headed to the nearby CITO event to help out and 'do our bit'.
After that he a bit of free time to find a couple more caches before heading to the next CITO event.
A quick stop here for me today before heading onto the final.
Thanks for he cache.

Was walking past so stopped to see if it was here. To be honest I couldn’t remember where Phil pulled it from but I found it maybe lower than I remember it being but it is here.

I found the information and then moved to where I calculated the cache should be. (nothing to say that I was in the right place though).

I searched for 15 minutes and then sent a photo to a previous finder to confirm my location and got a green light. Still couldn't locate the cache.

Sneaky hide, I solved this one sometime back and hadn't got around to finding it. Signed log and replaced cache as found. TFTC

With our previous plans for the day aborted, we have come up with a new itinerary. This multi was on the journey so we made a stop to grab the co-ordinates that we needed. This hall has had some renos over the years, it is certainly in great shape. We answer the questions and are soon ready to move on to the final spot.

As we pulled up at GZ, we read some other caches number plates have been photographed from the locals thinking some sort of drug syndicate has been going on here. Now Mrs 4ando has packed away half the pharamacuticals from the chemist this morning to clear up the nasty common cold. All correct dosages were taken and we made no home-made concoctions for any sort of profit so we were in the clear.

No one bothered us here, so we found the cache and signed our name and moved on to the next find for the morning.

When we were grabbing the info for the final co-ords, we thought we might need to go inside for the answers but no it's all on the outside…

TFTC genyo

I must have picked the right time to visit this one today, no one was about as I collected the information, then sat down on the building's front steps while working out the final coordinates. I was feeling lazy today, so instead of walking, I drove to my calculated GZ. I wasn't sure if I was in the right place, but after a little bit of a search, I found what I was looking for. TFTC genyo, I had no idea this building was here, even though I have driven past many times

Yay my first multi cache. Out for an early grab. Last time too many muggles so had to abort. TFTC

Out for a small circuit on the bike this morning as this was the logical Eastern point. Arriving at the Library I was confronted with a barrier fence (seems to be some construction work). However, being a Saturday i was able to slip in and grab the info. Now at GZ I had a lot of checking wondering and self doubt. Eventually the cache presented itself.

4/2/17, 12:37 pm Find #1723

After calculating coords, pulled up at GZ and was a bit worried about muggles across the road but made a quick find.

TFTC genyo

Out and about on this fine (if not somewhat warm!) morning.

There was a home ice cream man driving past the hall when we pulled up. There was a moment of "lets just buy some ice cream and head home" but i'm glad I jumped out and had a look at this one.

It's a nice old building that I had no idea was here. I was worried that it was closed but a quick look on the balcony gave me all the information I needed.

A short drive to the GZ and the cache was quickly located and signed.

Thanks for the great multi genyo.

We drove back around the block after I had replaced the cache and caught up the the ice cream man and bought some ice creams to bring home anyway. Win-Win!!

This is find number #250 for me so a milestone!. Happy New Year!

Last cache for the day.
Love looking at older buildings and learning the history.
What stories they can tell.
Managed to sort out the numbers and headed off to the final.
Arrived at GZ and were just getting out of the geomobile to look when a neighbour in one of the houses came over to us. He asked what we were doing as he had a lot of people visit this area and thought it might be related to drugs. Geopartner immediately piped up that we were playing a game.
We told him about Geocaching and he was happy to go and relate this to the others in the street. They had been taking photographs of the cars number plates that had turned up.
He was not interested in the actual cache just that people were turning up in the street.
He headed off quite happy in what I told him.
Found the cache with the geomobile as protection and signed the log.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks genyo All good with this cache and multi

Nice multi . Found waypoint 1. Nice little library , beautiful building. Not far to final . Took a little while to find with sharpem and bear0503. Beautiful day for caching. It was nice to meet neilo10 and thanks for letting us know about date change as we targeted this cache for our souvenir. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy.

Tftc in this lovely area, the library was so pretty found waypoint 2 found cache after a bit of a search, thanks for bringing us to this pretty area, found with Quesera and Bear0503

Supposed to go with geodaughter who was sick. Headed off to visit library. Found site which I didn't know was here. Travelled to log site and saw Bear0503, Que Sera and sharpe Madness in a suspicious huddle. Signed log and advised the three ladies to ensure that the logged date was today and not yesterday as the souvenir would not generate. TFTC

Out caching today with Que Sera and Sharpem. We chose this cache as the multi to help us earn our souvenir today.
I loved learning of the history of the library and enjoyed the journey of finding cache.
It was nice to meet Neilo10 at GZ and thanks for the tip about the dates for the souvenir

A morning out was planned to round up a few smilies on the Northside that have been on my to-do list for a while. This one was completely unplanned, I saw the icon on my car GPS asI was driving by and thought what the heck.

I made a quick stop to grab a pic of the info, there was a class of young girls doing ballet inside so I didn't feel comfortable lingering. Some quick calcs and the cache was soon in hand.

---

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #2644. Thanks **genyo** for showing us this spot. Discover our code TGQNRV, and mention where you saw it.

Wow the building hasn't changed much in the years! I bet the inside has though!
Didn't go inside today as we had some yobbos to find.
TFTC Genyo.

Geo Wife & I were up this way taking a friend to Prince Charles Hospital for an appointment and I was chauffeur and not needed at the hospital so I did the only thing logical, of course I looked for caches I could grab!!!!

This was a good one to go for as it would complete my Spell JUNE Challenge and not too far away.

Unfortunately the Library wasn't open when I got there so I grabbed a picture of the info and headed off.

With the adjusted coords locked in it didn't take long and I had the prize in hand.

The log was a little effected by damp but still ok to write on.

Thanks Genyo TFTC SL

Easy find. Never been to this part of town. Finishing of the June challenge with Rhobocacher. Tftc

Found it and this one was picked as our "N" of JUNE. We had a little confusion with it in the beginning and then we redid our numbers and found it not long after. There was sooooo many ants guarding the cache lol TFTC

After work today, I met up with NurseyJulie outside the library. We quickly gathered what we needed and were soon on our way to GZ. There, my phone bounced around a bit, so I used my geosenses and soon had the cache in hand. We added our name to the logbook, rehid the cache and were soon on our way home. TFTC

What a lovely old building - thought it would be older than it was! SelvaGirls had picked me up from work and we made our way here. Clues were readily solved however, we had one that we took a stab at with the numbers an d a nice set of co-ords came up. We made the short trip to the GZ. A guy came to ask if I needed any help - which I quickly declined and he went on his way - phew. Under torchlight SG made the find. TFTC genyo

Found my way to the lovely old hall and had no problem locating the necessary information. Soon enough I was taking the short walk to GZ where I found the cache in good condition. Happy birthday cache to me! TFTC

Out for a long afternoon stroll from Northgate to Chermside picking up caches. I started with this one, as I love history and also multi caches. Got to the first location, nice building. Noted the clues and got some good looking coordinates. Off to GZ and the cache was found quickly and signed. TFTC

A nice multi to finish our day and yes it was a big day with this being #41 cache so the brain was also not working as good as it should have as our maths let us down, we were about to contact the CO when we decide to check our figures and yes we discovered our mistake went to the new co-ords and there is is just as we expected TFTC Genyo

3/4/16 Today I was out with Marina25 with a personal challenge in mind. My overall plan is to have 1000 caches by our 2nd geo-anniversary (Anzac Day). Today’s mission was to hopefully collect 41 caches to make my total finds 900. Was it possible? Could we do it? I had specifically chosen caches that would be quick finds and easy park and grab type access, rather than long bush walks. We started at 9:30 with cache GC41DAP and our last find was at 5:45 with cache GC6AVTT. I guess you will have to read my last log to see if we completed today’s challenge. LOL :-)

Well since you are reading this as a "Found It" log you realise that we completed our personal challenge for today. But there was a point when I didn't think we would get this one done. Here is how it went.

Find #41 for today. I am a big fan of Multi's and decided it would be great to conclude today with a multi and also that a multi would be my 900th find. This one looked easy and that was the type of cache I was after today. We arrived at WP1 and found the answers quickly. Well...most of the answers. The answer to CC didn't really make sense so we had a few options for our final WP. We entered the first option and headed there. Nothing. I then entered the next WP option and headed there. It seemed more likely, but the closer we got the less likely it seemed. Hmmmm.....By now the sun was fading quickly and I soon had somewhere else to be. Please....No......I can't leave without this one!!!

Not personally knowing the CO, but having messaged him before with cache answers, I was confident I could ask for help. So we went back to the car and I typed up a message to the CO. As I was noting all the information we had and the final coords we tried, I realised we had made a mathematical error. We now had a THIRD set of cords to try and these seemed the most likely. As we arrived at GZ, Marina25 commented she had looked there. I switched on my phone torch, for a little extra help, and due to time constraints (and perhaps a little excitement adrenalin), dug my fingers in where I would normally use a tool. WooHoo.....the cache. Yay.....Wow.....Fantastic. I was a little excited in case you couldn't tell. We took a photo of my 900th find, signed the log and return the cache to its sneaky hiding location. I deleted the message to the CO and felt super duper happy with our day out. TFTC genyo

Collecting a few of the newer ones that have appeared in this area so dropped off by the library. Information was easily found so went around the corner to collect.

At GZ saw a few features on where the cache could be hidden. Tried the name sake, the fence, trees etc eventually coming up with the cache. The outside was a bit muddy and moist but the log was dry. TFTC genyo

On course up this way for the week, I figured I could avail myself of a couple of caches on the run in each day... That's only fair, right... [^]

I headed to this one first, hoping to be at GZ and gone by the time the natives got too restless. I almost managed... Clues gathered at the Library and GZ calculated, I headed off to the final location. As I arrived, I spotted the one and only awake muggle, shuffling down the road right in front of me... Hmm... So, I waited patiently til the coast was clear, then zeroed in on the hiding spot for a quick extraction of the container...

Name added to the log, I tucked the cache back and moved on.

A nice little multi starting at a quaint venue.

Cheers genyo.

Having spied this one nearby yesterday I just had to sort it out. Did a little googling last night and worked out that I am in fact no good at googling plaques, so did it old-school and walked up here first. [:o)] OK ... that's easily sorted, and armed with a fresh destination, I was soon scratching around a likely location. Turns out I was wrong in my first few assumptions, but I soon enough turned up a little container in a likely option of a spot.

Thanks for placing this cache, genyo. Found in good condition.

Back again, with confirmation from the CO that my numbers were right, and this time the cache was in the first spot I looked. TFTC and help, genyo.

I was in the area after attending skibeagle163's Leap Year Shenanigans event, so thought I'd give this one a go. There was a dance group in the building, but I don't think they were aware of me out the front. The plaque was easily found, and although it has deteriorated somewhat, most of the info was available. I struggled to understand the clue for CC, but made a guess based on a previous log. My numbers looked plausible, although without a checker I couldn't be certain, but I made my way there. However, I searched quite a few similar places and didn't get the find

1841 - I headed to Northgate to find this recently placed Multi cache this evening on my way home from work. There was a guy parked out the front of the hall in his car, but he didn't bother me as I gathered the required information and then retreated to the geomobile to perform the calculations. I soon had some likely coordinates not too far away. I went for the short drive to the quiet spot and found the cache nice and easily and in good condition at 6:42pm, just as it was getting dark. This takes my daily finds streak of at least one cache a day to 100, something I didn't think I could achieve when I started it back in mid November. Thanks for this great, simple Multi cache genyo, and for the ability to use it to complete my milestone. Favourite point awarded for it, and a great location to have a multi cache.

Finding myself in the area, I stopped by, though it was too early to go inside. I love these preserved places, especially when they're well cared for.
I guessed the mayoral Q was about the number of letters in the surname, which gave me a nice-looking target.
At GZ, there were still a few options but I found the micro tucked away nicely and signed up happily. Now where can I find a coffee at this hour... TFTC!
