Road to the cup #1 Pittsburgh Penguins Griffin, Queensland, Australia

Good Day,

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 a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Playground, spiky plants , children, parents, lone male cacher.

Returned later for a better look - rubbish, more rubbish and more rubbish, spiky plants - no cache.

Don’t think it’s here

Don’t think here

Got it TFTC

I'm sure it's there... just wasn't feeling the wet spikes today

Před rokem jsem tuto kešku marně hledal a dneska se to povedlo. Díky za kešku, pozdrav z České republiky.
A year ago, I searched for this crate in vain and it was successful today. Thanks for the cache, greetings from the Czech Republic.

Our for the day with nikid1. We spent quite a while searching here but unfortunately couldn't find the cache.

It is here. Found after a little bit of search. Swapped the butterfly clip and little animal for an eraser and a fancy button. Now to the next one. TFTC

Didn't turn up for us today. Too hot to an extended look.

Muggles close by so couldn't really look very well. I will return again.

Finally found this elusive penguin!! This is not the first time I've dropped by this park and left without the prize. This time had the park to myself and with a clue from the logs widened the search area to find the sneaky hide. Worth a FP just from the angst this one has caused. Thanks for adopting the cup series RhoBoCacher.

Nooooooo

Dam

Finally after 4 visits and a clue ,empty park found it

Took a while here! Great hiding place!! Did feel a bit silly rustling through the bushes. Glad it was a quiet Monday morning.

Found Ok

A quick find Today. TFTC,

Spot on! Love when that happens! Left a purple butterfly!

Having only a couple of minutes to spend here last time, I came up with a big fat DNF

Today, I had a lot more time and a hint from the CO. After finding a witchetty grub, a pair of undies and a bottle..... I finally had my hands on the cache. Not my favourite place to hunt for a cache but I persisted.

Thanks for the cache Ozpokemasters and RhoBoCacher

Pulled up at the park at exactly the same time as a muggle car from which alighted a family of several kids who immediately invaded the playground. As gz was fairly close to this area, I chose to abort this mission and retreated to the car to plan an attack on a different cache....

Hard find but teamed with another cachet and we were successful

After a successful find on another cache in this series, I drove to this one for a quick ruffle. As I parked I noticed someone bent over at GZ on the hunt. I contemplated taking on a muggle persona but instead said hello with a "have you found it yet?".

I met 1954jimmyjock and we hustled about together until I opened up a plant to reveal the cache. We chewed the fat over a bit of caching before moving onto the next hide. tftc

This one took a while to find because I was too worried about looking like a weirdo in the bushes.. As soon as the joggers had stopped chatting g and I could look in peace, I found it quite quickly! TFTC

Hard!

It took us in awhile to find camo
Deaf vw found it whoo

TFTC out and about with miss millie geo dog little bit hot again today so we had to revert to the air con car to find a few more caches think I'm cache blind now will keep a watch on it

Working towards a mini milestone this weekend whilst catching up with some friends

Today's adventures had me visiting North Lakes and surrounds, in total adding 24 smilies to my overall collection.

This was my fifth stop at the newly adopted American Ice Hockey series

TFTC...13/2/17. Tough Mothers trail blazing day found it eventually. Bit of a prickly point though.

Took a little while to find this one but got it eventually with the tough mothers. Tftc

Out caching with Tough Mothers (Remsjw, Misssusan, Bennyboppers and Lisylou). Eventually found it. A previous log helped us. TFTC!

Found with the tough mothers!

A quick find with tough mothers today

After a handful of unsuccessful visits, I lost interest for this cache until I saw it was found by a friend, whom I elicited a tip from. It seems my downfall previously was looking *under* rather than *in*, and with a fresh look by the dawn's early light, today was an easy grab.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3222. Thanks **Ozpokemasters** for bringing us here. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

**Smilie #4700**

After a nice Vegan lunch at New Farm, with new friends & old aquaintances, we headed further north to clean up a few more green spots on the map.
(4 of 15 finds for us today)

My nemesis type of find.
As soon as I realise where the cache is likely to be I relinquish the find to Geo-Mamma. LOL ...
Fortunately, another quick find for G-M.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Great

After some fun kayaking this morning, I thought I would have a shot at a bunch of quick finds before I had to return my hired kayak, and this series looked appealing.
Sadly, I picked this one first up. If this is a case of clever camouflage at the given coordinates, then I congratulate you, but it's also very close to a kids' playground, close to muggles across the street, seems to involve scrounging around among lomandra so that I was jabbed several times, and led to my locating multiple items of litter including food wrappers and kids' underwear. Yuk.
A stronger hint would be helpful. I have no problem at all with high difficulty caches, but I don't think the surroundings here lend themselves to a lengthy search.

Day 3 of this series. A nice scooter/ride around the pathways. Thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC.

Finally, persistance paid off. 3 visits and 1 PAF but we have it.

Can't believe we missed this. Co-ords were almost spot on but this is a first for me in terms of where a cache has been hidden.

Thanks for the hunt on this one.

TFTC.

I started here with no luck, and as I mentioned before very little enthusiasm for hunting in lomandra bushes. They bring me out in a nasty rash. The hint was somewhat less than useless too.

I made a PAF on my rounds of the league and was bale to narrow down the search area significantly. Still nobody about at the very exposed GZ. A few minutes of hunting and the blighter was located.

Still can't find this one. Good camo it seems.

Sadly we didn't find it Bailey had fun in the park near by

Found with cachemeifyoucam. Tftc!

Out with Geopartner to find some caches.
This was the first one today and I wanted to finish the series.
Raining today and left geopartner in the geomobile while I went to find it.
Looked in a couple of spots and there it was.
Signed the log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks ozpokemasters All good with this cache

Out for a few hours today with RhoBoCacher

I brought a previous finder with me today and that was a good thing as she was able to narrow down the search area for me! Even so we spent a few minutes searching before Rho finally found it again! Very glad to get this series done. TFTC, Ozpokemasters.

Another DNF.

The co ords have been checked and it is there.

I have been here twice and checked it in the last week it is defiantly there

Jumbo and camouflaged

Yet again this one gave me grief. Even a PAF to the last finder didn't help. Add me to the list of DNFs

Still no love on this one.

I'm very camouflaged apparently. Fading light not the best timing for me.

Thursday. Needing a cache for the day and being nearby, this one was randomly chosen.

Uh oh, look out, look out, there's muggles about. A short loitering was endured until the coast was clear.

This was the only cache found on today's trip.

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

Muggles around but managed to find it. Found with Rhobocacher

wooo hooo back for a second look for this one and we found it after a little searching we signed and replaced and continued on our way im glad we found this one as it was annoying me having 1 green dot in amongst my smilies. TFTC

Checking it out and updating co ords

Went to the general area on my bike exploring this new estate not far from home. Too many kids in the park. So gave it a miss. Will have to try another time.

I met up with JABAK123 at the nearby CITO today, and afterwards we joined forces to gather this series of caches.

No luck here, although we searched a wide area. TFTC, Ozpokemasters.

No luck today! With 2 geomates, we searched for a long while......? Is it gone? Will try another day!

No joy today......seems to be a trend with this cache

Disappointed that I had such an abysmal find rate for this series (50%) due to aggressive mozzies and bum coordinates at many of the caches where I didn't have the patience to fight with the mozzies. Oh well, on to greener pastures. Thanks for the series OPM.

17/4/16 Out caching today with Marina25 and aiming to get at least 25 caches. I am working on a personal challenge to have 1000 caches by my second geo-anniversary which is the day after Anzac day. We started the day at about 9:30am and finished just after 2pm and specifically chose as many caches close together and easy to grab as we could.

We searched and searched. We read previous logs, expanded the searched and even tried google. No cache was to be found. Perhaps we could have spent longer, but seeing that this is a D1.5 and we had time constraints today, it was time to call it a DNF and to move on. Maybe next time. TFTH Ozpokemasters

Spent quite some time looking for this one, but unfortunately did not find.

Out with stortigirls and NurseyJulie, finding a few caches. We hunted for this one for quite some time before Nurseyjulie resorted to a PAF. We had searched some of the area we had been told to search, but not the part further from the posted coords. Our search area moved to about 6m from the coords and we searched for quite some time before stortigirls found the cache. This cache blends in so well with its surrounds, making it hard to find. We added our names to the log, rehid the cache and continued to the next one. TFTC

Quite a hunt here, finally finding the container about 6m from gz amidst the endless camouflage. Tftc Ozpokemasters.

This was quite a hunt for the three of us today. I resorted to a PAF but it still eluded us. We checked every bit of greenery and then moved about 6m over towards the small sapling. This was quite cammoflaged here. TFTC Ozpokemasters

Spent a good half an hr searching today, with previous finder's hints in mind. Luckily the place was deserted. No joy, there are lots if bushes shrubs and trees to search here. Can the CO please provide some updated coords and maybe a more detailed hint

Published

Drove past to see if we could grab FTF, but there was a party of 30+ adults and kids, so no searching attempted

On our way to the final cache in this series, we drove past this one and, noting the large gathering of people, 1MinnieMooJnr quipped that it wasn't a geoevent. We decided later to head back here hoping the crowds had left, and all but a small group of neighbourhood kids were left hanging around. We headed over towards the play equipment hoping that we may have a shot at a find if we were careful, and soon enough the group left, so we made our way over to start our search.... and they returned! NOOOOOOOO!! As we "foreigners" were obviously far too suspicious to the local kids eyeing us up we decided we had to walk away from this find rather than risk it being muggled the minute we left. We promise we will be back another day for this and the rest of the series that we did not get time for today.

Joint **FTF** with Cantcacheous 2014 we had to widen our search from GZ which took us away from the playground and the hint helped to find the prize TFTF and thanks for the FTF prize

**FTF** Joint First to Find with Gullivers Travels54. A fairly tough little find here about 6m off the posted coords. Helps to use Google to find the native. Tftc

Sat opposite the park waiting for the local muggle children to leave, but they were having too much fun hurling witches hats into trees. Time to move on...
