Another ILTL cache has come to end of its run.So after 6yrs & 6mths with 94 Finds, 21 DNFs, 3 Favourite points and multiple maintenance visits & issues, as well as a couple of signal box re-paintings, it is time to say farewell.Thankyou to all those who took the time to visit.??????

Was searching the likely tall item. But the area is used as a homeless camp and after finding what I thought might be a cache but was used drug needles I decided to abandon search.

Not here anymore

Couldn't find it

Quick find. It really is micro! TFTC

Looked everywhere but didnt see it

Found

Trying to clean up some of the caches around Nambour. This one took us longer than expected, a bit of caching blindness!TFTC!

Thanks

Had a good look at all the places and followed hint/ description no luck this time

My second blank log for the day. Unless previous finders unrolled it all the way and signed the other end. Thanks for the cache spiderwebbs4

My final cache find for the day, and I was driving right past this geocache, that it made sense (to me) to stop and grab this find as the light had almost faded. Given the very helpful hint, the cache was a reasonably quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. As GZ wasn't too far from the referenced signal box, it was then a short walk to that location to admire the artwork. Thanks [spiderwebbs4](https://coord.info/PR68A9N) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, I had a rough plan to initially visit Toorbul, and then head to the Sunshine Coast to visit Baxter Falls and catch up with [dahumbug](https://coord.info/PR8W6P9) (with no firm plans otherwise).My initial visit to Toorbul had been a target for some time, and after visiting Donnybrook, I continued my drive north with a last-minute plan to detour through Palmview for a couple of bushland walks. Baxter Falls was an enjoyable and relatively easy walk, with a high amount of water flowing from recent wet days, and a Location completed from the [Four Waterfalls & a Lookout](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/e838f6fe-82da-4017-9bec-27edd17abd6d) Adventure Lab. We then made stops in Mapleton and headed north geocaching within the vicinity, before deciding to head to Bli Bli for a few recently published geocaches. An enjoyable day out with fine weather.

Easy low to the weld

In Mapleton cat sitting, out this morning bound for Maroochydore for Christmas lunch, chasing a few smilies to finish off 2023 while we were on the way.After lunch, we drove around Nambour for a while playing cache and seek. Disappointed I could not get the first answer to the Adventure Lab, and disappointed I could not find the snail! But happy that we were able to find this cache. Boy was it hard to get open. The seal is missing, and the log is full and saturated. So we replaced the log, but not the container.Merry Christmas and thanks for the cache Spiderwebbs4. Fave point cos it is Christmas, and I am feeling generous.

Nice and easy, two second find

Up in Nambour for a weekend of off-road caching with Peppa. Picking up a few caches before heading to the motel. Spent too long concentrating on the wrong area before changing tacks and locating the hide.Tftc spiderwebbs4Find #4746

After taking most of the day to get from Caloundra to Nambour, Ive finally teamed up with Davinells for some last minute caching crazinessWow this took a long time I spent so long under the veranda Im surprised someone didnt think I was homeless I was fascinated by the tap, I fondled it to no availOnce I came out of my new home it was a quick findThanks spiderwebbs4

Yay

couldn't find it (

Maybe next time.

Found and log signed. TFTC

Aha, not exactly where we were looking at first then realised the map was right, it is up street a bit more

Cute little niche hiding spot. Good find.

Visiting the Sunny Coast today for a CITO, I headed up early to collect some caches in the Nambour area.
A quick find at gz, log signed, all replaced as found.
Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache.

Having just found one cache, I decided to walk a little further in search of this one. GPS was having a bit of trouble settling down, so I decided to go for a bit of a wander. Ducked in towards where I thought it was ... and caught the attention of a yappy little furbaby on the end of a lead who just had to take a peek at what I was doing. Muggle owner didn't seem to be interested ... I can only imagine what he thought I was doing there ... ha ha.

Slightly out of my reach so took a photo as proof of find.

TFTC ...

Nice little hide, TFTC Spiderwebbs4

Found with little squeakers

Found it with liltrouper!

Found 1st one

TFTC

Look at the hint for help

Stopped by here finally to make this one a find after many moons of looking at it.
Came here Saturday late at night so i could get a quick dodgy park.

Cheers spiderwebbs

Quick easy find while up the coast with Duppers. Last one for the day.TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

A quick find once I realised that yes, it probably was where I thought it would be! TFTC

Found exactly where and as described. TFTC

Sadly not this time. GPS took me up the road away from the box

????

Ground if I’d want a challenge

Took a moment but found it in the end. Tftc. Forgot a pen but took a picture as proof.

Quick & easy, right where it should be

Quick and easy!

spiderwebbs4 I found your cache I Like Traffic Lights Connected on 26/6/2022, 4:30 pm. This is my find 3615 and find # 14 today. Once in the right area it was a quick find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

TFTC!

Tftc

- nan

Thanks for this one. I think I prefer looking later in the day so we don't look so weird. Suits Nambour. Thank you

Not where you think it will be

This wasn't the first cache that i found yesterday on my second outing caching in Nambour, in actual fact it was the last cache i hunted for and found for the day!
In keeping with the arbitrariness that defines most of my caching adventures, it seems only fitting to start at the end.
A quick find this time round thanks to a clear nudge from the co after my last debacle.
Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache.
(The discarded hypodermic at gz disheartened me as to perhaps the local homeless population "utilising" the sheltered cover nearby. Be careful in your searches geoples)

Thought i'd try here after my fail down the road. ????

Crawled away, in shame after some time.

TFTC. While waiting for muggle hubby in an appt a glance at geo site showed me this cache was nearby. A quick wander, located extracted and signed log and back to car in good time.

#107 It took a while for me to figure out exactly where the cache was without looking too suspicious. But once it clicked the cache was soon in hand. TFTC.

Easy find thank you for the entertainment

Quick walk by find ... TFTC

Checked on this one today after CITO event in Nambour. Could not spot it where I left it or in the vicinity, so replaced with another nano.
Look low around the side.
Happy hunting!!

Still not there as per last person's log.

Not there

Today I had a few target caches to get, some for a challenge some for my next D/T loop and some as I was just passing. This one was one in passing and while waiting forever for these lights to change I decided to turn off and go for a walk to collect this one.
Not where I was expecting to find it but an easy find just the same. I saw the cache from a distance and quickly made a grab then signed the log. Waiting for the foot traffic to pass before I had a chance to replace it, I then headed back to my target list. Thanks for placing this one here.

Woohoo another calendar date complete. Needed a quick find late in the day before grocery shopping so this was it!

More than one 'connected' type item in the area, but quickly found cache as described at the second spot we investigated Cache in good condition, signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Caching on the Sunshine Coast with Mr CuriousQuest and Brislions. Another quick find and sign here. TFTC

Up on the Sunshine Coast grabbing a few caches with Selva Girls and CuriousQuest. We pick up 16 caches for the day. We had lots of fun today. Sorry for the generic post, yes more short log because I am so far behind in logging. TFTC. *3830* Finds

Out and about with Selva Girls and Brislions today. A quick find was made here. We signed the log and replace the cache as found. TFTC

Very good hint made this a quick find.
Thanks spiderwebbs4

***COs... I'm still trying to catch up on a significant logging backlog going back a number of years. Apologies for the tardy log, I am logging on the day I visited your cache.***I was up here with RoddyC, Snickersallan and patrol14 for the day to test some Wherigos at Bugs event and afterwards we cached the area till after dark.Quick find here as it was my turn at being the eagle eyes at this one.TFTC??

Trip up from the Gold Coast to this lovely part of the country with RoddyC, patrol14 & echocage1. After a morning catch up with Bugs and other local cachers trialing a Wherigo we thought we'd spend the rest of the day here finding colourful boxes.
echocage1 was very quick to spot this one, nice hide CO

TFTC spiderwebbs4
Found July 4, 2020

It was a planned day: Join with other cachers to test Bug's Wherigo caches, then cache around Nambour.

Echocage made the quick find.

Log signed at 4.55pm and cache replaced as found. TFTC, spiderwebbs4

RoddyC, Snickersallan, Echocage1 and myself are here in Nambour to try out the Wherigo by dahumbag and then geocaching in the area.

Parked in a side street and made our way to GZ where this one was located quickly.
SL then returned as found.
This one could be tricky on a weekday..

TFTC spiderwebbs4

Up from the box. Great hiding spot!

Someone might of Taken it or something

Tftc

Lovely day out with the family TFTC!

Nice quick find after attending a job interview at the hospital.

Thanks!!

#2586

A quick grab and run, all good here thanks

Tftc

First find! Next to a busy street well in view of the muggles so do your best to stay inconspicuous.

Sneaky magnetic little walk from signal box

Sneeky in the bush

Out with Nyssaflutterby and 1Minniemoo on our last Wednesday out for this term. The first time we'd all been able to make it this term!
This one took us a little while as we didn't expect it to be there.

27/11/19 12:01 pm Find #2837
Continuing our journey around grabbing some of the traffic light series, this was our next stop. We managed to find a carpark just around the corner, and wandered on over, where we felt a little suspicious looking around, so waited for a guy parked right next to us to leave. Then Nyssa made the find thankfully quite quickly.
Thanks for the cache spiderwebbs4.

Wandered around for a bit before taking the plunge into the flora. There it is!

Thanks for the cache spiderwebbs4

First Geocache. Thanks

Found it

I think this one may have been stolen. I followed the hint exactly and came up empty handed.

Quick find. TYFTC.

In the area doinga few caches

TFTC

I had just completed a lap of town and was almost back to my starting location. I had ogled some traffic box signals, marveled at some that had gone missing, and appreciated some that had been repainted.

Thinking out loud, I am suddenly mad as hell that I don’t have the key job of deciding when traffic box signals need to be repainted. I want to be part of the committee that “dates” the art on each box and stands around wondering whether there is a younger, more ground-breaking artist that could add a pop of culture to the community (and needs a shower).

I also wonder what the mafia scene is for getting your artwork on a box. Do rival groups drive around town throwing ice-creams on the artwork that is not part of the gang? Do they write foul language in liquid paper on opposing gang traffic boxes. Will any of this dribble I’m writing make sense in the morning. tftc

TFTC took longer than should have but got there in the end. TNLNSL

Found eventually with the help of the hint. Tftc tnlnsl

Saturday. In the area needing to attend a nearby event and so wanted to turn this previously unfound cache into a smiley. My arrow had me going in circles for a bit, despite the hint which was a good one. Eventually found the cache and signed the log.

This was the 1st of 2 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***spiderwebbs4***, for showing us this place.

Stardate 1 Nov. 2018 10:30
Out during school hours for a caching adventure between Palmwoods and Nambour, picking up some hitherto unfound caches.

There certainly are quite a few traffic lights in Nambour. How do I know? Cos there are loads of traffic light caches to find, of course!

This one was easily found once I went through the different iterations and found a hint regarding the current location. Logged and returned as found.

Tricky...but we found it in the end after reading about it being version 3.
We were in Nambour for a few hours and couldn't resist grabbing a couple of caches.
Thanks for the Cache
Spiderswebbs4

Hope new cache stays this time. Hi from NZ and TFTC

Coordinates changed from:
S 26° 37.718 E 152° 57.582

Coordinates changed to:
S 26° 37.723 E 152° 57.587

Distance from original: 40.9 feet or 12.5 meters.

2nd cache container gone missing - replaced with version #3 at a slightly different location

Replaced container, moved, updated co-ordinates.
Back in action.
Happy hunting!!

Replaced, moved, updated co-ordinates, re-enabled - still didn't take the maintenance note off, so another log to do this.

Even though only replaced a couple of weeks ago, by all reports it seems the cache has been kidnapped again. Although, I pass by most days to & from work, I am hesitant to do maintenance in the dark, so will disable until I can get there at a more suitable time to determine the best plan of action.

I can also confirm that it is gone!

Can CO perform necessary maintenance. Thank you

off to Nambour to find some

spent a long time looking for this one
expanded our search to all the corners and end

Thursday. Slow Puncture was out and about today with barbbowman and Raynersinoz. Like others, couldn’t find this cache today.

This was the only DNF we had on this trip.

Thanks ***spiderwebbs4***, for showing us this place anyway, hopefully we will be back!
