I Like Traffic Lights Shades of Morning Glory Caloundra, Queensland, Australia
By spiderwebbs4 on 11-Feb-18. Waypoint GC7RGPB

On the way home to Brisbane from Peregian after visiting my mum i had time to find a few caches and these traffic signal boxes have been on my list to do for a long time. I was able to solve this multi at work with my geo work friend which was fun and today thanks to the description it was a quickish find. I was a big monty python fan and love this song. I like traffic lights but only when they're green.

Supposed to be shopping but decided to pick this one up first. Thanks for the multi. TFTC

Got a set of coords and checker said all good then headed off to find the cache.Once at GZ I spotted the cache then had to wait for a muggle free chance to grab and sign then return the cache.Thanks for the fun multicache

Its amazing how the coolness of a tree compares to the heat of a bitumen road and concrete carpark. Found on a really hot day and happy to have thick tree shade to log cache. Not sure how many Ill get done but it was a great start. TFTC

Grrrrrrr!!!!Looks like it's pesky muggle day today!!Unbelievable!!! This is the second cache this afternoon where a pesky muggle has been ensconced for the duration right at GZ!!!!Sigh! To preserve the integrity of the hide, this is a "did not look" not a did not find.Thanks anyway.

GC7RGPB I Like Traffic Lights Shades of Morning GloryUp at Kings Beach on this lovely day. Went and got the info needed while the family went and got a drink from Woolies. Headed over to GZ and soon spotted the hide. Its a high T1.5. I was on tippee toes and could just reach. TFTC spiderwebbs4

Bonjour from France 778780 were here. Tftc

Up on the Sunny Coast and collecting this multi, a nice quick calculation & a quick wee hunt and we had the cache in hand .Now for some fishs chips.

Muggle65 and l were up this way for a cache or two. We had finished our short list and decided to grab a piece of fish and some chips. After finishing everything on the paper, we decided to do this multi as we had our torches. Soon we were adding our names to the log. Thank you for the fun.

TFTC spiderwebbs4 your cache I Like Traffic Lights Shades of Morning Glory that we found today.
A trip down to Caloundra was called for today to chase some icons for the current Wheel of Challenges souvenir. A successful day as we found the icons we required.


Find Count: 16660

Great clues and the cache was right on the coordinates, although still a bit tricky to find! TFTC

Nice lil cache! Not too far from the clues and pretty much bang on the coordinates TFTC

Spent a few nights in Caloundra to get in the last swim for the season, spend some time with friends and of course pick up a few more caches in the area.

Since geohubby was a traffic controller technician for over 30 years before retirement this was a definite for us.
Geohubby also made the find - fairly easily.

Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache.

The first day of a family holiday is always busy. Packing, driving, impatient kids, unpacking, walk on the beach, excited kids… I excused myself from the chaos at our unit with the excuse that I needed to get some groceries. How convenient that there is also a cache here.

I wandered up to the traffic lights and did some sums then headed off to find the cache. It was really busy here and at first I was looking in completely the wrong place, but eventually I spotted it in another place altogether. Thankfully I had parked my car to give me some coverage and I was eventually able to retrieve it without being seen. TFTC!

Visited this area today to tick off another Traffic Box and also add another Field Puzzle to my collection. For some dumb reason, I tried too many times to get the right numbers: something about being in a rush and not reading the clues correctly and then not being sure if the CO was being cryptic with one of the clues (I’ve been doing too many puzzle caches of late, obviously).

Finally got the checker to agree, then it was a quick drive to GZ. Not the best cache for those of the vertically challenged variety, like me, but log was signed and replaced as found. TFTC spiderwebbs4

In the area so quickly solved the multi and came up with the find. Thanks for the fun time killer!

Enjoyed this as I had recently thought that signal boxes would make a good theme for geocaches. It was nice to then meet the CO at an event today. All is well with this one. TFTC

Today we found I Like Traffic Lights Shades of Morning Glory on our travels. We are on another visit from Melbourne just because…well, maybe it’s all those puzzles we solved during those many lockdowns! Having the opportunity to sign some actual logs is exciting!

Thanks spiderwebbs4 for being part of our geocaching fun.

After a big night at the Caloundra music festival it was great to get out for a walk and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Took a couple of his goes with one number but got there In the end.
Smiley
Cheers

Thought we would get more caching done today but relaxation, chatting with other campers, visiting the bank, having a nap, all came first today. Then once this was done hubby thought it an ideal time to go fishing. He did well at least and caught a pan sized bream. With the first location visited and the details collected it was short work to find the log container and sign the log. We returned as found and with the location for our next cache in the gps we saw it wasn’t far from where we were camping which is when geohubby decided fishing should be next on our program.
Thanks for the cache, cheers and happy caching!

After having a bit of a struggle with the figures and difficulties getting the green light…. (Thanks to previous finders for a clarification), Mrs Riddell was expecting a battle at GZ.
However armed with the torch in the dark, she spied it straight away…. Just as well she wasn’t a cm shorter either!
TFTC and the beaut series, … really enjoyed this one.

spiderwebbs4 I found your cache I Like Traffic Lights Shades of Morning Glory on 17/3/2022, 10:22 am. This is my find 3315 and find # 3 today. Gathered the required information and got a green light. Searched the logical spot but nothing found, then reread the hint then a further search soon had CIH. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Up in QLD for a few days with the family, a postponed trip. We headed into town to the markets and then did this multi on the way home. GZ was very close to our accommodation which was very handy!! It did take us a little time to locate as we searched in the wrong place! Ainstar spotted the hanger. Signed and replaced.

TFTC

It took a long while to find this one. Gave up but came back as I had lost my sunnies. Took more ages. Finally it was spotted hanging there in nature. Sunnies still not found. TFTC

Today, the plan was to kayak across from Golden Beach to the top of Bribie Island (newly formed North Bribie Island given the recent breakthrough?). I was a little concerned with the high winds warning, but the passage still offered sufficient protection to paddle across for the scheduled island event. Following a walk around the island peninsula and the completion of two Locations from the *Pumicestone Passage Meander* Adventure Lab, we paddled back across just as the sea started to get rough. I then spent the majority of my subsequent day heading around Pelican Waters and Golden Beach, walking a few trails whilst fighting the armies of mosquitoes. I then ended the day with a drive into Caloundra completing *Rocking Caloundra* Adventure Lab and a walk along the foreshore/boardwalk.

I parked nearby to the posted coordinates, and walked up to start answering those questions. For the most part, I didn't have any issues with the questions, suspecting Question **C** with the number of surfers (or just out in the surf to be technically correct), although Question **D** had me confused, and hence I got the GeoChecker to agree upon my second attempt.

I then took the lazy option of repositioning my vehicle to nearby to GZ. It did take a few minutes in searching somewhere that I probably didn’t need to be looking (the hint is correct in where not to look), and thus made the cache find subsequently afterwards. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

With my plans changing at the last minute, I suggested to Patrol14 that we could both take care of that new Field Puzzle Challenge by hitting the Sunshine Coast and concentrating on that attribute… we were pretty successful and managed to stick to the list… mostly…

With stories from the backseat courtesy of Dieter “the muggle” possum we drove up from Brisbane…

Having collected Dieter again, our day is drawing to a close…but we still have time for one or two more…

This took a couple of tries before we had some success as we had to define “surfing”

A short walk to GZ and it was Patrol14 who spotted the cache as I tried to explain some of the “guidelines” about infrastructure and where a cache shouldn’t be… not that that’s an issue here… tftc…

Received a message from Peppa to see if I was interested in heading up to the Sunshine Coast to find some caches to fulfil our quota needed for a recent Challenge "Field Puzzles in January". I needed about 7 to qualify, so took up the offer. My muggle friend Dieter from Sydney tagged along for the ride.

Getting to the end of our list, we have a few more to find before sadly, having to head back home.
Another interesting traffic box to admire and count things. One number needed further discussion between us until we assumed it was what we thought. Green Light!!
Onto GZ where Peppa did the honours of retrieving, signing then replacing.

This cache was a three parter.

A long time ago i rocked up to the published coords and set myself the task of unravelling some numbers.
Then it all fell apart when the checker disagreed with me and in my frustrations, left it for another day.

A nudge in the right direction saw the error of my ways and on another mission south into caloundra, after waaay too long searching where it was not, i found it. Huzzah! I scratched either a swb or the whole thing into the little log roll, then stealthily replaced it before pedalling myself elsewhere.

Then there is the super tardily third part, the digital log which is happening now, thus enabling my dodgy daily streak of logging a cache a day to continue.
*rolls eyes theatrically*

Thanks spiderwebbs4 for creating a multi cache (one cache type that oddly seems to be lacking in enthusiastic cachers) encouraging more geople to unravel the mysteries of the orange circle.
Sorry for the late log?

A lovely morning around the area finding some caches and this is one I found. Parked in a good spot and walked down to the box and collected the required information. With success from the checker I walked over to GZ where the cache was quickly spotted. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for another one spiderwebbs4.

With my Saturday morning chores done and a Sunday morning planned bike ride around Ewen Maddock Dam, I saw the perfect opportunity to knock off a few more of those sunshine coast caches, giving me time to add to that challenge in the area. A drive north saw me stuck in a 3 hr traffic jam, hmmm this is not helping. I had contacted triple turmoil and she too was happy to grab a few on the coast.

We jumped into one car and headed around Caloundra and surrounding areas searching for caches. We collected a few trads, multi’s, puzzles and labs in the afternoon and into the night before camping out. It was a fun, but time did get away on us very quickly.

This was fun in the night and after a little trial and error we soon had a tick from the checker. The hint put us off a little and I was glad there was no one around. It was TT who found this while I had my head in a sprinkler cabinet. With the log signed and cache replaced as found, we were off to continue our journey around this area. Thanks for the hide.

Chamad and I decided to meet up on this lovely "getting closer to spring" day. We need to get 555 Sunshine Coast caches for a Challenge cache we collected last weekend. Let's just say I am a looooooooong way off. So we spent Saturday afternoon and way into the night collecting caches and so early the next morning that I am wondering why we bothered to go to sleep

Finally spotted after 5 mins. We spent too long focussing on the clue. Grateful that it was 9pm for an exposed gz.

Staying at Golden Beach with grannysmith1947 and caught up with georode & E_Smiley for another day of caching in this beautiful location on a lovely clear winters day.
After working out the sums we headed to GZ where after a few minutes we had cache in hand, thanks CO.

TFTC spiderwebbs4

Out and about with georode, Snickersallan and grannysmith1947 targeting tree fishing pole caches (or with special tool require attributes) and basically any caches that picked our fancy in Golden Beach/Pelican Waters area.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here spiderwebbs4. Another multi which tested my patience, reading comprehension and math skills under the glaring sun. Always thankful for helpful PAF. Now in the comfort of our home, I could make the checker agree!

This is the third one in this series for me. Found the information and headed to nearby GZ. After a short scout around, spotted the cache. Tftc and series.

Found with a group of geocaching friends.

TFTC smile 9598 out and about with miss millie geo dog Snickersallan Georode E smiley and Domsky great cache, great friends, great day , signed as G2EDS Team great team effort
Thank you, spiderwebbs4, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

We found the numbers and the final cache easily.
TFTC

Lunching nearby we revisited this one. The checker gave us a no with our previous numbers. Only one very oddly worded question in question and the new numbers put us back in the same place.

A very half hearted hunt before a PAF helped us out.

Today teamdfl and I have met up to tackle some caches and ALs on the Sunny Coast. We began at Bells Creek as a few of this CO's high D/T caches will help with some challenges and our D/T grids! Also, I have a tree fishing pole, and there's plenty of those caches around here too [^]

After our lunch break we decided to head over and have another go at this one. With confirmed co-ords we found ourselves at the same place as last time, but still didn't get the smiley, so called in a PAF. That helped narrow the spots and soon the cache was in hand. TFTC, spiderwebbs4.

The trip up to the Sunshine Coast I found 13 caches. The break down is 6 mysteries, 5 Traditional, multi and a Community Celebration.
I had a lot of fun with a catching up and chatting. I needed this multi for a challenge cache.
Sorry for the generic log.
spiderwebbs4 *TFTC* 5010 *Finds*

Another in a very bad couple of days. Think my caching eyes are still in Brizzy.

Finally, realised there was a checker and bite forced an answer. Questions are misleading. Easy find.

We couldn’t find this one today.

Parked in the car park and easily collected the info. Thanks for the cache

Needing multis for a challenge I must thank thee for these cute ones!! Info gathered quickly but took a bit to spy the little chap at GZ and to sign whilst not drawing the attention of all those muggles shopping !

Coords were pretty good. Maybe not on obvious structure. Tftc

I always get a bit excited when Geochecker tells me I'm correct. What a great idea for a series.
This is #1 for me.
Thanks spiderwebbs4. The cache is in good nick.

Been here before but could not find it. I think it was down at the time. Had another go today seeing as it has been changed, thought I would get it. Tftc

Was here yesterday but didn't get till log till now. Reading through past logs was essential to finding this one as it was quickly in hand after realising the changed locale TFTC

Most of the time we spent working out the coords for this one consisted of an argument about the 21st and 23rd letters of the alphabet. (I lost the argument, but hey, no 6th letters of the alphabet given.) Strolled to GZ and quickly found the replacement container in very good shape. Signed the log and skedaddled. Thanks for the cache, spiderwebbs4!

TFTC always enjoy a multi. TNLNSL

Enjoyed the multi. However if we hadn’t looked at the owners maintenance notes we wouldn’t have found it. Suggest that the owner puts the changed cache description in the description for future catchers keen to find your cache. Tftc tnlnsl

The box at this hide has seen better days & cache is missing. Replaced with a hanging micro in very close piece of nature.

Worried this cache is missing. Judging by previous DNF, it couldn't possibly be there

Our final day on the Coast before heading back to Sydney.

The checker was happy with our counting but we couldn’t get CIH...... next time

Got the required numbers and headed to Gz. Surely had the right spot based on previous comments about rust etc. no luck today though.

This was a tough cache to find. Firstly, I was not able to get a green tick on the checker due to an incorrect count on one of the requirements. Eventually that was sorted and with a validated set of coordinates headed to GZ.

The clue was very good however it took quite a while to find the cache. Finding the cache was one thing and extracting the log was another but with the use of some improvised tools I was able to get my name on the log.

Find #2204

TFTC ***spiderwebbs4***

Took a little while. Lots of rust, watch your fingers, down low

Today teamdfl and I are taking a road trip around Caloundra collecting caches on my hit list [^]

We were able to solve the numbers and found a spot that the hint lined up with beautifully, but after being questioned twice we decided to call it quits.

Out for a day of fun with IolantheK. We apparently do not like traffic lights. We had a decent hunt here. Got asked what we were doing more than once before we called it quits.

Was searching for ages and was relieved to have finally found this tiny cache. Thought the hard part was done until I tried to get the logbook out! Surely give us a tool at the signal box to help with getting it out
Anyways TFTC

Me and Coopsthecacher found this one after he played 3 games of basketball today. Finished it off with solving the puzzle while we ate KFC and then finding this tiny and well hidden cache. Not only can he play ball but has an eagle eye for spotting these tiny hides. TFTC

Much grief with this one! Managed to get incorrect answer for one of the pieces.
Sorted out the mistake and off to GZ.

"I know you are in there" but passing muggles, car owner and bleeding from the rusty surfaces dampened my enthusiasm for Traffic Lights.

Out for a day of caching with Mr Curious Quest. After grabbing a bite to eat nearby while waiting for the rain to pass, we headed off to gather the information for this multi. Once done, we made our calculations and headed to the final. That took longer to find than it should have! We felt very exposed at GZ. WIth our names finally added to the log and the cache returned to its spot, we continued on our way. TFTC

Selvagirls invited me out today to do some caching.After gathering the info we needed we headed to GZ. The cache was located and the log signed. TFTC

A nice little multi while on lunch. TFTC

Had to wait for some people and a truck to move. 20mins later ... got down and did the search. Found it after a bit, took longer to get the log out (just cut my nails!), signed and replaced as it was.
TFTC

I had done my research yesterday while visiting the nearby establishment and then worked out the location from our apartment.

This morning, I returned before the crowd had arrived and searched for a while until I was in the right position to spot the cache.

TFTC spiderwebbs4

Finally found this one , perhaps I never worked it out correctly - as I had no mobile internet today to check my final . But wider searching in the area that I worked out - I first found something that was a hint in the description so a further search and the container was located . Signed logsheet My shortened Caching Name “KFAU” 11:50 am 20/9/18 and replaced all as found,
spiderwebbs4 - TFTC.
1 X TB Visit.

We came across your cache, spiderwebbs4, while here for a couple of nights R n R.

Worked the numbers OK. Took a drive to GX and soon saw the hint so we knew where to look.

Log signed and cache replaced at 5:12 PM on August 21, 2018. TFTC.

Back to find some more

Cool painting
Like the hint and hide

Week 2 of our ILTL adventure - barbbowman and I enjoyed this series last week, so we throught we'd come back for more

Even though we had been in the area last time we were searching for ILTL caches, we had forgotten to include this one. I am after multis at the moment, so this was where we started our caching adventure today. We had a go at finding the answers for the questions and the numbers we generated looked pretty good. A short walk later and we had the cache in our hands. TFTC spiderwebbs4 all is good at GZ

#15954. We walked on to this cache from ILTL Home Where the Heart Lies. This one proved a bit trickier to spot, but we got there in the end. TFTC.

After finding the nearby ILTL trad, StreetWalker and I walked on the this one. I had pre-solved this at home and had even spotted the hint object courtesy of google street view.
Rather muggly here early afternoon, and I tried to look unconcerned while SW looked decidedly dodgy, peering and groping. Took a couple of looks because initially he was looking for something a little larger, but once I read the cache description, and that the size was a nano, he soon spotted it. TFTC.

Headed to the coordinates and soon had the answers I needed after one incorrect on the checker.
Wandered down to find the container and soon had my hand on it.
Quiet here where the final is and nobody taking any notice of me.
Signed the log and returned to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks spiderwebbs4 All good with this multi and cache

Out and about on the Sunny Coast for a little Tuesday morning adventure with Slow Puncture, visiting loads of pretty traffic light boxes, puzzles and other hides along the way. The morning started out chilly but soon warmed up into a beaut clear warm winter's day.

This one wasn't too hard to calculate, and we soon relocate d to GZ. After waiting for a fe muggles (one nosy one in particular) to move along we soon had the little blighter found Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache **spiderwebbs4**.

Tuesday. Mr SP was out today up the Sunshine Coast with Orange Crew. We got to GZ and worked out the co-ords pretty quickly. Our troubles started at the finals. Our searching progress was hindered by MR NOSEY (who looked just like the lead character in Shameless) who made a point of loitering nearby, clearly concerned that we may have been terrorists looking to wreak havoc on the local supermarket carpark. Never mind one of us was on crutches - clearly that was a clever ruse on our parts to avert suspicion from our nefarious-ness. Once Mr Nosey realised that he was wasting the little left he had of his remaining time on this Earth, satisfied he had foiled our master plan, he shuffled off. Then Mr OC made the find.

This was the 4th of 20 caches found on today's trip.

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

A return visit to this one after it had been replaced only to find a tradie sat in his ute about 2 meters away from GZ. Went and did some shopping with geowife and by the time we had finished he had disappeared but this time we had to wait for a couple of wrinklies to get in their car and leave. Eventually it was all clear and we soon had the cache in hand; signed log 29/6 db. TFTC spiderwebbs4

My first one of this series and how interesting it makes traffic lights. TFTC

After my last visit was a DNF, today it was a quick find.

Once the log was signed the cache was replaced exactly as I found it.

TFTC spiderwebbs4

A short stop on my way through town today and after gathering the information I was soon at GZ where the cache was quickly found.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC spiderwebbs4

I took along some trackable for a visit.

I found it first but I'll share FTF with NeverLostAu because he tried to find it the other night! Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the "I Like Traffic Lights" series.

Still no takers? EJCat spotted this first when we arrived at GZ and dived in for the find. Thanks for the fun spiderwebbs4!

Another one that has disappeared before it was found. I visited the location today and sure enough, the original cache was gone. Replaced with a less bright one, so hopefully won't attract any unwanted muggle attention. Same rough location but different leg.
Also added a geochecker link.
Sorry to those keen cachers that had already tried to find this one. Hopefully it lasts longer this time.
Happy hunting!!!

No Moring Glory and no cache

So sad - found the hint clear as day but not the cache. I'll try again some other time.

Think I was in the right spot but the light was disappearing .
