Hi Qoobed,

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.

Tic toc and I spent 15 minutes searching high and low without any luck. Then we noticed all the DNFs. Time for some maintenance?

No luck today. Checked a few areas but nothing.

Stopped to check the cords and saw a geocache labelled bag on the ground looking worse for wear. Didn't think that bode well for a find. Searched around for a while without any luck.

Something about us and bridges! We looked high and low but, alas, no luck.

No luck here but we do tend to struggle with bridge caches

Very easy to find

Look high! Took us awhile

Kinda gave up, got the creeps

The Crocs + Soph

Nice quick find . Thank you


Team Madhatter

Thanks for this one. Everything is good here

This one is a bit challenging but found it in the end with the family.

My daughter Pinkypie05 and myself decided to get a cache today to get our souvenir. This one is very close to where we live and I had left it for a New Year’s Day find. We went to one level and thought it must be at a different level. We searched everywhere at that level and then decided to go back to the other level. I then made the quick find. TFTC and Happy New Year!

Cool little park TFTC

A bit tricky but got it in the end. Tftc

Great

Great spot.... Just as well I'm tall..... Didn't have to reach as far... TFTF!

Tftc. Found on a school holiday geocache day with master 8. I spotted this one first which was a little unfair because of the height difference.... Although little man had picked the right elevation.

After attending the event for Gunnie69's birthday, we continued caching in the area.
Parked in the parking area near playground and walked to GZ. Looking from one perspective realised we needed to be on another level all together.
Arrived at GZ and hubby made the find. With acrobatics we managed to sign the log then return cache to its hide.

TFTC Qoobed

I was planning to attend an event nearby later in the day. I decided to arrive nice and early and try for some smileys in the area.

I parked near the event co-ords and set off to hunt on Evie.

Nice and quiet here early on a Saturday morning. A few showers probably keeping the muggles at bay too.

Spotted a funky mail box on the way to this one.

We went to a local event, then we went venturing for some caches. Your cache, Qoobed, is one of them.

Went to the wrong side at first before I spotted it.

Log signed and cache replaced at 1:44 PM on February 2, 2019. TFTC.

I could see it from afar bit was on the wrong side. Thanks for the stretch.

Found it!

Pretty easy when you don’t think too much into it.

Quick find today

Would have been very hard without the hint. Fun cache to find TFTC

I am in the region today to go to a non-geocaching event this evening.
Strangely enough I arrived a little early .. about 7 hours early.
Time to find a couple of geocaches beforehand.
Another quick find because that is where I would of hid it. First place I checked.
Thanks for cache. [^]

Down from Toowoomba with Eskies5 to tick a few boxes on a couple of challenges. This was the first cache for today and after a short search in one spot Eskies5 went to the other and made the find. TFTC Qoobed

Kestal and Mrs E. down from Toowoomba to grab a few caches for challenge qualifiers...wandered down the track and ummed and ahhed for a couple minutes reading a couple of logs while Kestal went searching one way. Decided to take a different tack and thankfully have the necessary requirements to make this a little easier and wouldn't you know it...there it was! TFTC Qoobed.

Great little walk

Quick easy find

Start for the day but pretty hot TFTC

Ah there you are spotted with lisylou today tftc

Found with bennyboppers after realising where we needed to look. A little tricky. Tftc

Nice one. Believe the first site on GPS.

Took a few goes but we finally sorted the hints out and aimed a little higher than first thought TFTC

**# 17298** Found on the Qld leg of our 2017 winter escape trip.
Another perfect sunny winter day for a drive around Springfield Lakes.
Not many muggles around and a good quick find here.
Thanks for the cache Qoobed,
***Roostaman***

I literally looked directly at it TWICE and still didn't see it.

I was almost ready to give up and I gave it one last look and spotted it. Very well camouflaged!

Another good find for us today, while driving through the area.
Took a bit of searching to get this one found. SL TFTC

Out and about with joojoo57 today, collecting some caches in the Springfield Lakes area. After lunch we headed over to take the walk to grab these two Grande caches.

After finding Blitz we continued our wander around to this one. A couple of trees have fallen on the path but did not hinder us, and then we made a good choice of direction and shortly found ourselves at GZ where joojoo speedily spied the container. I got to do the fetching Then we retraced our steps to the car. TFTC, Qoobed.

IolantheK and I walked down from Grande Blitz for this cache and had to step over several thin trunked trees that must have come down in the rain event a month ago. We luckily chose the correct path and once at GZ we spotted the container. Thanks Qoobed.

I had parked in the, now familiar, parking area for the picnic grounds and after finding the other cache I decided to head towards this one. I started at the wrong elevation and then found my way to the new area and decided that there was one spot that I should check first but that would involve some dexterity. My legs are not dexterous so I struggled to get in position Luckily, there was a cache in the position that I wanted to search.

I managed to put my mark in the log and then replace the cache and return to a normal position without too much drama.

TFTC Qoobed

I've been to this park and this area several times back a ways. Obviously those caches are now gone. Got to GZ and surprised at the number of trees blown down along the way. Guessed where the cache might be and soon felt something move. No dropping this one. All good here thanks Qoobed.

Second time around and found it. Good camouflage

DNF searched on and under the bridge

Post Debbie storm health check: all in order

Health check 11/3: All is good with this cache - go find it!

Out with Geopartner to find some caches for the day.
We headed to this one next as it was the closest.
Geopartner managed to retrieve and I signed the log.
Returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Qoobed All good with this cache

Reached up and soon had cache in hand.

I popped down for hopefully three good caches on the way home.
I started on the wrong level and then ignored my instincts and climbed to many wrong (and slippery) places.
At last, I spotted the cache and made the move I had expected to make all along.
There was a little moisture in the container but the bag is doing its job. All good here so TFTC.

All back to normal again

Looks like this one has been muggled I will replace it soon and perhaps alter the location slightly.

We are not great at this yet. Have ended up in a stinky location at the coordinates

This was the last of our sweep of the suburb today. Just out of my reach luckily I was with YBB tOday and she made the grab.

What a nice day to go Caching.. put a call out last week that i wanted to go. had JACS team respond.. so we organised a day and swapped the digits.. Organised a meeting spot to start the adventure.. finally getting to the same meeting place... we put our heads together and came up with an action plan. started solving one multi but as shops where still closed made it harder. so we changed our plan and jumped in the car and set off on our adventure to find caches. had a great day out thanks JACS team. You've Been Bear'd

This pair of caches popped up while I was in Geelong for the Surf Coast Mega Event and I recall thinking, aha, they will come in handy for a couple of close to home grabs when I need them.

As I bounce back to Vic tomorrow, I wanted a cache up here to drop the trackables into and keep the KM's flowing. So, after some domestic stuff at Orion, I took a small detour on the way home. Parking in the logical place, I wandered over to GZ, picked the correct elevation and spotted the container immediately on arrival... Also very handy...

Cache in hand, I extracted the log and added my details. A quick glance around for muggles once done, I reassembled the bits and pieces and dropped it back in place.

Cheers Ooobed.

I worked out where it was but then I had to retrieve it! Thanks.

Started at the top and worked my way down. Eagle eyes here and spotted it. A little clamber and retrieved it. Dropped the sheet and had to go down to get it and clamber back up to replace. TFTC

TFTC... 12/11. Not so good in the rain and not where one thinks at first. Has survived it's first storm, hidden, but exposed to the elements. Good GZ.
