Farm Run No. 19 - Gravel Road Felton, Queensland, Australia
By MalDawg on 27-Jan-18. Waypoint GC7HKP2

On a leisurely caching drive up to Toowoomba and then south to Warwick, before returning home today. Found most of the Farm Run series in December last year, but was unable to grab this cache, as it was located in the middle of a road works zone. In the area today and with road works completed, it was a quick find and the last required code for the bonus cache retrieved.TFTC. TNLN. SL. TBs Prado Owl , The Great Leap Forward Geocoin , Bee Croc , Rawhide , Scarb, Sheeps on the Journey (Orange) , RobS72k 2000 Finds GC and Kiwi Bird visited.Find # 2045.

Today is my last chance to get out to do some caching before we head off on an extended trip O/S. I was also looking for some caches that would boost my Terrain rating, so hopefully this will help.Which log? This one or that one? Why do I always pick the wrong one? Cache was found in good condition and left the same way. TFTC

We headed up to get the few that we had mist before. All good here

Nice spot, easy find, plenty of goodies (tnln) tftc

Unable to grab this cache today as GZ was right in the middle of road works. Was hoping it didnt contain a much needed clue, but sadly it was. Will be back to find at a later date.

We had a lovely drive around the country roads today finding the caches in this series, this is one we found and the information was collected for the bonus. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the series MalDawg.

Found it

Sent the kids. Enjoying the series

Great sneaky lil hide love it omi35

We stayed a long weekend in Toowoomba for 2 events, for caching, for hiking down the hell hole track and for qualifying for the Garden City Challenge.

So this series was in our mind to do. It was a quiet drive through farmland and we found all 20 of them. Sorry for the generic log.

Thanks for placing these caches, Maldawg

Found this cache with TBU1Bikesu . Tftc MalDawg

Parked off the road near the corner and almost a park and grab (If my arms were long enough). Had to resort to geotrail and log the cache "GM" after noting the clue number. TFTC, MalDawg.

A few more caches to go
My progress is rather slow
But I stopped at the spot
And pretty soon got
This one, now on with the flow

Tftc..

Staying a few days in Clifton today we headed out caching towards Greenmount and Nobby. The wind picked up and it was very very cold out in the wind. We were greatful for the few quick finds that we did have today.

Sunday afternoon drive on a Saturday morning! On our way to/from Southbrook to see the open gardens, and these caches were either on the way there or on the way home. This is our third attempt at the Farm Run series, hopefully will complete today.

Thanks MalDawg for bringing us here.

This was an interesting spot. Initially there were muggles around so I had to come back to it. As seen in the photo someone had a very bad day here recently. That's an expensive accident!

TFTCache MalDawg

Still in location

Did not have an opportunity to replace the missing caches before Christmas Holidays.

Will be replacing the missing Farm Run Caches in January 2022 so that the series is complete and it is possible to find the final.

Headed out today to do the Farm Run and just as we got to the starting point the rain kicked in big time. But we pressed on and battled the rain, mud (oh so much), mossies and spiders to get as many as we could of the run.

This was a good one; quick find.

Day 3 of the wild western trip, the caching adventures continued to Pittsworth then towards Toowoomba.
The log was signed with our weekend caching name of Team Grav.
Thanks MalDawg for putting the series together.

A quick find while out early converting some green boxes to smiley faces. Today I decided to find as many of the Farm Run series of geocaches. TFTC.

Staying at Pittsworth for a few days to do some geocaching. This morning we headed out on The Farm Run. Most of the caches were found quite easily although we did have a couple of DNFs. Hopefully we got enough info to solve the puzzle cache.
TFTC

Found cache, signed log and replaced as found. TFTC

Really obvious spot

Nice find. TFTC.

Are these ever gonna end lol. Tftc

I had a big day yesterday and walked a lot so today I chose to do short walks, I also wanted to finish off the SSE GeoArt so an early morning start was necessary. SSE GeoArt completed and off to do some of these Farm Run caches. Found quickly, log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Out collecting caches with this being one of them. Great series. Our thanks to MalDawg for placing this cache series and enhancing our enjoyment of the area..

Tftc had a cheeky bird that was watching our every move here. Great security in the bush!

The horses in the field opposite have found some respite from the rain under some trees. thank you for bringing me along this road.

Nice catch, thanks

Brahms6 found this one. Wazza and Kara and Mrs Wazza and Kara some down from Cairns for a couple of days geocaching and we hit the roads. Saw lots of back roads. TFTC.

A quick search at the location and the log book was signed. TFTC

JezNDez and I had made a mad 3000km, 4 day dash from Brisbane and back, on the hunt for a first to find at the summit of Mt Jagungal in Kosciuszko National Park. After successfully completing the overnight hike, we returned to Cooma for a night before starting the long drive back to Brisbane. After overnighting in Dubbo it was time for the last leg of the trip home, with a few caching stops along the way.

We decided to detour along this small trail of caches on the way home. Cache found safe and well and logbook signed. TFTC

Visiting Toowoomba and finding a few caches around the area.

Found Ok

These little birds must have chicks. They didn't attack me but 3 of them surrounded me to supervise the signing of the log.
TFTC & the natures

Went for a little geocaching day today for Father’s Day and found it. Good hiding place! TFTC!

Another quick find while doing the Farm Run... tftc...

TFTC. Out on an adventure with Halez1993, she has introduced me to the world of geocaching.

Out caching with Soph1104 and my geokids. TFTC.

We saw a bunch of cows drinking and a huge farm machine.

Out and about caching today, while staying up in Toowoomba. Enjoyed finding the Farm Run Series of caches out in the countryside. TFTC's MalDawg

Qef. Rock on log gave it away.

Good amount of swaps here..

Back to finish what I started a few weeks ago. I’ve just realised I’ve lost a day and have been putting the 13th on everything today. TFTC MalDawg

Found with MalDawg on a Maintenance Run

Was able to spot possible location from the car once we pulled over. Jumped out and soon had the cache. Thanks!

Out for the day on a trip to Pittsworth and beyond collecting Smileys as we went, quick find here

1MinnieMoo and I were grabbing some caches in the area and decided to grab this one next.

The cache was found and in good condition.

TFTC MalDawg

Found during a road trip through the area. TFTC

Nice easy find tftc

That was a cool spot for the cache. Comes with seating too. TFTC

A bit cooler today and decided to do the Farm Run circuit. Logged 19 of the caches as one was missing, and skipped a clue (somewhere) so the puzzle is on hold. Didn't log these caches in a logical order but enjoyed the country drive

Attached a photo taken near one of caches of a handmade sign I really liked. Yes it is fine!!!

Wishing everyone love, light and laughter over the summer hols!

TFRC MalDawg!

**# 25613** Found on our 2019 winter escape trip to Qld with Mrs Roosta.
A perfect Spring day for a Farm Run trail while at Toowoomba.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache MalDawg,

On our way to QOGM (Blackall) day 15 of our trip. 11 caches for the day and 475 for the trip.TFTC

Had the day off from work so the plan was to complete the farm run series! Took the Geopup out for a drive and knocked them off one by one. Enjoyed the drive around, thanks for all the caches MalDawg!

When I first started caching, I found most of the original Farm Run series. I still have three smileys from that time. As I really enjoyed the drive way back when, I decided that I would find the new caches too. Ooooh! There are clues for a final too! Bonus!! This cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

Found!

Tftc.

In Toowoomba for the weekend and had the Farm Run series for our first day. It was a great afternoon and all caches were easy finds and information was collected. Thanks MalDawg for the time and effort of placing this series.

We’ve arrived in Toowoomba early for Brother Colin’s event that’s on this weekend. We took the opportunity on this absolutely beautiful day to come out this way to do this series and enjoy a drive in the country. We remembered to pick up the needed information along the way when signing the logs. All caches found as per described and in good condition except for one. Thanks for our enjoyable time out here today MalDawg.
Cheers and happy caching!

we had decided it was time to get back and prepare the horses for the comp but we couldn't go past finishing these today. TFTC enjoyed the series.

Nice drive in the country while we are attending a showjumping event at the showgrounds. TFTC

This was a rather quick find. All nice and dry despite the rain.
Thanks MalDawg.

Another road named after me enjoying the hunt. TFTC

We will have to make generic posts at this stage. It turns out that due to my carer role and having a GeoBaby does not suit a series of Caches.

Despite my mother insisting she was okay (and I mean every single day, over the next couple of days) we went out and about to collect the caches) because she wanted to help me solve a series!

I have never taken so long to collect a series.

TFTC

Woke up this morning to Mrs VC asking if I was up for a trip west to 'potentially' visit friends & maybe grab a cache or 30.
WHY NOT! LOL …
Grabbed Winter the Geo-Cat & we all piled into the Geo-Beast.
The friends were out so a-caching we will go!

It's a bit late now to tell us about Gravel Roads!
A heads up several caches back would have been nice! LOL …
One bonus was the beautiful specimen of Bearded Dragon spotted roadside just before we reached GZ.
I think we spent far more time photographing the Dragon than searching for the cache!
Nice quick find where all is good.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

An easy find. Tftc

So my amazing geowife Kaleidoscope had the day to ourselves and needed a bit of time out of the house... so what shall we do? I'm new to the area but Cass is a born and bred Clifton/Toowoomba local so knows her way around... let's go do some caching and exploring!

We loaded up Boris the Geo-Patrol and headed out the door... luckily this cache came up on the radar... ofcourse, cache was found, log signed and returned as found... brilliant series.. thanks for placing them PJATPAC and MalDawg... Hope you liked Cass' jokes!

What do you call cattle with a sense of humor?
Laughing stock!
TFTC

Found it!

Ah !! The bucolicness

A quick cache logging here

TFTC.

Thanks for the cache!!

Early morning run out to this one on my way to work to tick off another box in the calendar. Very glad it was a quiet morning on the road this morning as my attire may caused a few looks...a onesie was donned for a farmer day at school today and I really had considered having to get out the car before arriving at work. Once at GZ cache was quickly found and log signed. Just a couple more to go but they will wait until November. TFTC MalDawg

Nineteenth cache in the farm run! TFTC

????????

Hi there MalDawg.

We found your cache **"Farm Run No. 19 - Gravel Road"** today. (This makes our find count 19497).

Today we cached the "Farm Run" series. The secondary aim of the day was to cache along a road we haven't traveled since we became full time grey nomads. Once we've done that we can draw another line on our wall map).

We found 20 caches today (DNF'd 0) .We thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

After setting up camp in the showgrounds for a few days, we had lunch a rest then out caching along the farming roads. We had a few farm run caches in 2014 so were not able to collect all the numbers to complete the final puzzle cache.
A good variety of caches & hides.
Thanks for placing this cache MalDawg

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

All Good .. TFTC ..
