No longer suitable

Having only recently discovered this Agatha Christie series I set to researching the books to solve the puzzles. I really enjoyed reminiscing the stories of the books, many of which I had read & some had even been released as movies. With today being forecast as a sunny day with no rain predicted I set out to see how many I could find. Only a couple eluded me & perhaps 3 did not have convenient areas to park so were bypassed. I think I got all the rest. The puzzles & the finds were all great fun. Thank you Waz & Vik for the enjoyment this series brought. TFTC

Found today, log was rusted into hide, got it out with one of my TOTTs, and signed it, replaced as found, Thanks for the hide, Waz and Vik

A few weeks back we collected some of the Agatha Christie series before weather stopped us. Today is the day to collect the rest.
Cache 6 for the day.
Found quickly - on to the next.
Thanks guys for the series.

Had attempted this one once before quickly after school drop off one morning but there were a lot of people driving by so I gave it a miss. After speaking with Nayfee about the areas I searched he told me to think outside the box. Went back to attempt and the cache was soon found.

Very clever!

TFTC

In the area today picking up some caches and this was one of them. I parked nearby and once at GZ the cache was soon in hand.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for me and others to enjoy.

Very clever hide ! Log had disintegrated & so replaced log. Found with HRH54 TFTC

Log disintegrated so popped a replacement With Juju54 TFTC

Nice hide took me a moment to find. TFTC Was and Vic

We have now set up camp at the Caboolture showgrounds. We have been joined for a couple of days by pprass.
Today we ventured out to the AC trail, a lot of research was involved to work out the puzzles.
We left the camp in overcast conditions started with a couple on the railtrail before starting AC. We found it enjoyable caching along the country roads but we were surprised by how much traffic passed.
Most were good sized containers with plenty of swaps inside.
FP given for all the worked required to make this series.
Thankyou Waz and Vik for placing this cache.

TFTC. We had stayed in Dayboro after the Mega to do some more caching. We had solved many puzzles while in lockdown and it wa s time to reap the rewards by finding the caches. We targeted this Agatha Christie series for today’s adventure with muff1.

We made the decision to spend another week at the Dayboro showgrounds to give ourselves the opportunity to find more of the many caches that have been placed in the area. The area is still showing signs of all the rain we have had recently with the creeks flowing fast, today we did not need to negotiate roads with water over them. We found all of the caches that we attempted today. We felt we were very high with great views but the map told us that we were not that high. As we used to live in FNQ at an altitude of 880 m todays altitudes were peanuts. SL TFTC

How did i miss that on first sweep!? Signed today as MINIFIGAS! as I teamed up with GLISS! Minniek, Fitzy_1965, Albida33 and Smittengranny to tackle some counties, trails, oldies and interesting caches. It was another very wet day making some of the driving a little tricky, but we still managed some awesome caching. Great to be finally in Queensland with our eyes on the Mega Prize. We had a truly awesome day!

This is the first Mega we have had in Australia in over a year. We have navigated lockdowns, mouse plagues, floods and the dreaded Covid to get here. So wonderful to be able to be out caching in Queensland. Such a privilege. Thanks for the cache.

Found on a yuuuge trails run during the mega. Thanks to all the cache owners who have put out these interesting trails.

Easter trip away with fitzy_1965 for the cacheQLD Dayboro Mega.

After a slow start due to the rain, we teamed up with nibletricecakes, GLISS!, Albida33 and Smittengranny (signing logs as MiNiFiGAS!) to tackle the balance of We <3 Geo and Geosaurus, as well as Agatha Christie and part of the Coat of Arms Geo-art trails and any others in-between. Then ended the day with a great catch-up at the Tropi-Cal Party.

All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise stated.

24,269. Found with minniek on our Dayboro QLD MEGA Adventure trip. For today we also cached with albida33, Nibletricecakes, Smittengranny and GLISS! to form and sign as MiNiFiGAS!

With the sudden COVID outbreak in Queensland putting the Mega in doubt we decided to head up to the New South Wales / Queensland border hoping that it would still go ahead, and with the announcement that things were mostly returning to normal we decided Plan A still looked good. Day 5. An early and still wet start today with an aim of caching our way through finishing some of the Geo-Art around Dayboro (all being pre solved) plus various bonus caches along the way. This was the next stop for the day. We parked nearby this one for a quick find at GZ. Signed the log as MiNiFiGAS!, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks CacheQLD and all the other Cache owners !! Please forgive the generic logs.

Dayboro trip. Day 10. Day two of the Mega weekend. I again joined Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Nibblericecakes and Gliss for a full day of caching after a bit of time spent at mega HQ for catch up and learning. It was another wet day, but not as bad as it could have been. We mostly visited solved puzzles in the nearby Geo-art, but also did the other caches that we passed along the way. The day ended up in another remote part of the area, that meant a difficult wet drive home along narrow maintainous roads. All in all another fun day with great company.

The final set of caches for the day were the Agatha Christie caches and we could see a marked difference in the cache types, very nice.

Thanks for the cache Waz and Vik

I am out in the rain on Day 3 as part of MINIFGAS. We are having a ball despite the rain. A great mob, great caches and great fun. Thanks to all the COs for the caches. TNLN SL

Day 2 of our Dayboro mega weekend and a group of us headed north to find some Agatha Christie mysteries - mainly in the rain! Thanks Waz and Vik for the series.

Our second day out in the area and we decided to hunt for the Agatha series today. This was on our list and we are pleased to say we found it and gladly signed the log.
Many thanks for placing this series out for us and others to find.
Cheers and happy caching!

Found at 11:36 AM GAFF1.
Another example of finding the cache in the very first spot that we looked, but had to come back to it after a few minutes to actually see it [:o)]
Thanks Waz and Vik.

Convenient parking made this a quick find... although I did walk past it once... added my mark to the temporary log and returned as found... tftc...

With the day off today I had planned to revisit the caches of the new horsehead Geoart and attack the AC art series. I mentioned it to Willis007 and she had managed to get the day off. We arranged to meet at an area that was near the start for us and visit the caches along the way, some I had already signed. On our travels in the area we bumped into Simber15 who also had a day off. After some discussions it was decided that all 3 of us would go and visit the art series together.

After the horse series and some lunch we headed up this way to grab the AC series and a couple of trad’s along the way. It was a nice drive around the streets of the area with some fantastic views and again some big laughs.

Thank you for the series, it is nice to have completed the puzzles and grab the caches. Today the log was signed as each cacher’s name and a few dnf’s rectified.

With a milestone approaching and a Mega event on the horizon it was time to get outside and find some caches! A plan was set to collect some smilies in Dayboro while the roads aren't too crowded and a day off work was requested. An early start ensured we made the most of the daylight available and we hit the tracks and trails and enjoyed a very varied day out. This cache was found with Chamad and Willis007. Thankyou for placing this here.

What does a cloud wear under its raincoat? Thunderwear haha TFTC

After the New Year Events in Kilkivan, today's caching area includes the Harry Potter and Agatha Christie Series, with hatzofff and Snickersallan in the geovehicle.

Nice. Replaced log sheet.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on January 3, 2021. TFTC, Waz and Vik

Staying over after the newbies events in Kilkivan to do caches in the area.

Nice find adding new log.

TFTC Waz and Vik

Making my way back down the coast with hatzofff and RoddyC & spending a few days in the local area to do some geoart puzzles and others in between.
All hides were found relatively easy and apart from a few wet logbooks that we changed where we could, caches were in good condition.
Apologies for the generic logs CO's, thanks for placing for everyones enjoyment.

Found 3 January 2021

Now that the bulk of the rain has passed I decided to venture north and grab the AC series that I've had solved for a little while. I left first thing this morning to HOPEFULLY avoid any of that wet stuff that falls from the sky, luckily I only bumped into a few passing showers and nothing too serious, pheew! However in a few parking spots the ground was a little too wet and I nearly got stuck several times, thankfully that didn't happen.

All in all it was a great morning out in a wonderful location, I thoroughly enjoyed my morning exploring the area. Thank you for the fun puzzles and for placing the caches for us to enjoy.

In the end I found 23 and DNF'd 1.

Today we've looked for the Agatha Christie caches.
This one we've found easily.

Nice puzzle series and as an avid reader I do like a murder mystery. Nice hide fav point. Thanks Waz and Vik

Tftc Waz and Vik, found , enjoyed your series thanks for the puzzles. Fun one

Found 8;15am on 7 November 2020 with Hedwig 26. Out for an adventure seeking finds from a week of hard puzzle solving. All good with this hide. TFTC SL Very clever Find number 772 for this Pirate Lady Yowhoo me hearties

Found at 8:25. Clever hide that had us thinking. Tftc.

That trick
Clever

With DeafPVC

A lovely drive. Logging with DeafPVC. Thanks DeafPhantom for doing the puzzle this hide was GOOD

Hooray Thanks for share DeafPVC love it

Was taken on an unexpected ride today, and since the brains of this partnership had already done her work, it was up to me to be brawn today and run the legwork parts. With the mini-OBC in the back randomly providing artistic entertainment. I mostly kept pace and we ran through this series in quick smart time.

Thanks Waz and Vik for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #8207}*

Solved the majority of these puzzles last night over a glass of wine and a bowl of pasta. Good brain food! Most were relatively straightforward, with two requiring some extra thought.

Picking up my caching partner in crime, and dragging geokid #2 with me, we decided to tackle this one like a power trail. I drove and navigated, slowing down every 200m or so to kick out Mr P. Reset the GPSr to the next cache, checked the hint / size, and if he hadn't find it by then, jumped out to give him a hand. 21 times. Geokid was happily distracted drawing animals from A to Z in the backseat.

All 21 were found - 2 we skipped due to recent DNFs and 1 has been archived.

Thanks for a great series, Waz and Vik!

Out and about with geopup collecting the Agatha Christie caches today. I solved these a few months back, saving them for a free day. Today's the day! The puzzles were all fun and easy to solve.
A quick find at gz today. Very sneaky hide. A fav from me.
Log signed, all replaced as found.
Thanks for the fun series and the cache Waz and Vic.

After solving this puzzle some time ago, today was the day to head out for the search. We stopped close to the GZ and soon had the log book signed. TFTC

Really enjoyed solving this series. Murder mystery is my favourite genre and my parents had the whole series of Agatha Christie which is where my love for these books began. Ironically they used to live quite near where these caches are hidden.

The caches were all easily found and there was always somewhere safe to pull off the road.

We have given a few favourite points which are intended for the whole series.

Thanks for the puzzles and the caches.

Good one had me looking until I got a idea cloud moment. Tftc

Found TFTC and the series

After a few months of living in isolation, it was time to dust off the geo gear and head out into the hills to find some smiley's again . We had solved all the puzzles so it was a enjoyable drive around finding all the caches. Love the container a definite fav point. TNLNSL TFTC

Needed to be in the area for the day, so decided to turn some of the completed puzzles into smileys.
Also my geodog Scruffy wanted to do some caching as well

All Good .. TFTC ..

Sneaky one. TFTC,

TFTC quick easy find but clever hide TNLNSL

Found the sneaky cache. Clever, fav point from us. Tftc tnlnsl

#2 of 23 Agatha Christie series; #7 of 30 overall today
Solved this one 10/4/20 while at home on the weekend for a change due to pandemic restrictions. Great fun researching the murder mysteries.
Very well camouflaged. I spotted the geocaching symbol just as J reached for it. Magnet lid seems to have become unattached but still stays in place.

Worked my way through the series this week, finishing the last of the mystery's last night. Couldn't resist getting out this morning to finish my first piece of Geo-Art.

Thanks to the CO's for placing the series.

A quick find in the area close to the calculated co-ords. Nice cammo! TNLNSL TFTC

After all the heavy rain we found ourselves in water at many gz' s
Found with earthlight
Tftc

Found with The X-Trailers today. TFTC

No wonder I haven't been able to find this, my coords were wrong! Quick rework this morning and I was on my way. Little bit of searching at GZ until I spotted it. Clever hide. TFTC

After a fun morning, my geocaching buddies headed for home. I grabbed a bite to eat, then sat and looked at the options for the afternoon. After much procrastinating, I decided to head to these puzzles that I had solved some time ago. As I approached Wamuran, I wasn't sure how long the rain would hold off. The drizzle was a little lighter here. A quick find at GZ. TFTC

Not enough in the clouds to precipitate a death but cache found easily!

Plenty of water in the clouds today, therefore death in the clouds would be generated by a lightning strike or bloating from water absorption. Luckily at this stage the water remained within the clouds and there was no excess DC connection to the ground, around. This meant no death today from the elements. Thanks W&K for setting up the AC series.

I liked the placement of this one. Giving it a favourite point for it and the series.

Thanks for the effort of placing all these caches. [^]

Mrs Just a Trifle was thrilled when IolantheK invited her out for a day of caching After a few days of puzzle solving, it was time for our day of fun around Caboolture and Wamuran It was quite interesting to learn a few things about the author while solving the puzzles and one day, I might even get around to reading some of the books

We had no difficulty in locating this cache and with our names added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you Waz and Vik for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Out and about today with Just a Trifle, to collect caches we both needed around Caboolture and Wamuran.

I've had this whole series solved since they first came out, and it was a pleasant wander back through these Agatha Christie's books! She was certainly my favourite author as a teenager. Today we had complete success and collected all 24 smileys in just over 2 hours TFTC, Waz and Vik.

Headed South early this morning taking advantage of cool mostly dry day to try my hand at the Agatha Christie Series and a few others

Thanks for the great Cache and Adventure Waz and Vik

This Day in Music

The Beatles recorded a TV appearance on the ABC Television program "Thank Your Lucky Stars" in Birmingham playing their new single, 'Please Please Me' The show was broadcast on January 19.

Clever hide! Mr CNQ was right on top of this one!
Thanks for the cache Waz and Vik!

Found fairly quickly due to intuition if my tradesman hubby. TFTC favourite of the day.

Macadamia galore but none to buy, easy park and grab then on my way. Very sneaky I must say. TFTC

This was tricky but we found it rather quickly.

TFTC Waz and Vik. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Cheers, E

Sneaky hide but coords are great. Tftc

Out gathering the Agatha Christie series today.

Tftc

Well this was a clever one. I approached gz and walked around it, even looked straight at it before the light went on. All signed and returned and then off to the next one. Tftc Waz and Vik

Last one for the day and just in time as the rain reached me soon after I got back in the car. Thanks for the cache

We enjoyed solving these puzzles and learning more about Agatha Christie and her writings thanks to the CO for the series. We headed out to the area and had a lovely drive early in the morning to avoid the heat of the day. This cache was found in good condition. We have seen these containers before and we signed the log and returned as found. TFTC

This was a quick and easy find once at GZ

Thanks for the puzzle and cache ***Waz and Vik***

Find #2548

Found with Quesera on a lovely day of caching, thank you for placing this cache here for us to find.

My geo work buddy and I get together most lunch breaks to try and solve a puzzle. We have been working on this series over the last month and really enjoyed them . Some we had trouble and took us a couple of lunch breaks,others we could solve a few in one lunch break. Today sharpem and I decided to turn them into smileys . We loved the drive around here. It's getting green after the rain we had and so the cows were busy munching. We saw one dead snake that I nearly stepped on and lovely country roads. Thanks for the fun puzzles and for placing these caches for us to enjoy

Due to the pouring rain we thought that we wouldn’t be getting any caching done today, so the girls set off to the shops to create some photo pages and buy some frames for the walls while the boys went out for a learner driver course in the rain.

Later on as we were putting up the frames (just us now, the kids have already aborted on us), we look out the window and what do we see…sunshine! Photos were forgotten and we were in the car quick sticks to make a few finds. With having these AC caches solved, we thought that we would go for an afternoon drive and pick some of them up. We cannot believe how much people have dumped along this road, mattresses, car and tractor tyres, we even came across a fridge…and yes we opened it thinking it just might be the cache that we DNF’d on, we tentatively opened it and then the look on our faces would have been priceless when the stench actually hit our nostrils.

We had a great few hours travelling along these back roads finding the caches.

Tftc Waz and Vik

I've taken the week off as the the geomonsters are on school holidays. Fortunately Sandra had booked them into vacation care for the day, so it was either do some work in the peace and quiet or go out caching.

I'd worked out the coordinates shortly after this series was released and decided to get them finished today. This was a nice quick find. Onwards...

Thanks!!

Another fun puzzle which we solved last night with the help of Google. Today we are out for a drive in this lovely rural area and made this find. Sneaky container and camouflage made this a tricky one, but we did put our hands on it in the end. Nice!
Curious to see this was a new log sheet!
Thanks Waz and Vik
Domsky

Perfect day to head north and log the Agatha Christie Puzzle series. These were solved jointly with the bearded redhead a few weeks back Brought back memories of a much younger me reading the books in high school. A great idea for a geo series

No problems with most of the caches, but a few had me spinning in circles A few of the local farmers have scary signs on the fence. But I didn’t see any muggles today. Pretty much a clean run.

TFTC Waz and Zik

Out with geowife doing the Agatha Christie series and some others. Tftc

It had been ages since I'd been caching and I noticed a new puzzle series of caches had appeared. Hmmmmmmm, Agatha Christie...they might be fun to solve. Today was the day to go and pick them up and bb was with me. We had an enjoyable day zipping up and down to and from Wamuran in Monty the mini, getting a few of the other caches that were nearby as well. TFTCs Waz and Vik - sorry about the generic logs - I am close to reaching a milestone and have a stack of caches to log

Found date Friday 13th ... Online log date Sunday 15th

My geobuddy loves Agatha Christie
All solved and off we go on a country

giving my favourite point for the series here as this hide is cool

Sometimes when we look back at our photos from a caching day, they need some serious sorting. Some get sent to the kids to see if they are even out of bed, yet alone care what their parents are doing. Some get sent to Instagram so we can get some instant gratification from our friends (like they care) and some can only be seen with paid memberships on adult web sites (we always get feedback from those people).

Inevitably there is always a photo of our feet in the mix. That’s one of the drawbacks of having our camera at the ready at all times when caching. Sometimes you strike gold, sometimes you get rubbish and sometimes you find a fetish that didn’t know existed. In spending a copious amount of time researching this log we (meaning I) have discovered the adult word of feet fetishists. Who knew feet were sexy? Tell that to my shoes after I’ve finished mowing three lawns on a hot summer’s day. tftc

Thanks for the cache

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Waz and vik >276 days. #1757 finds.

4719

Thursday. Well this one took longer to find than I was expecting. Co-ords were spot on (when we eventually found the cache). Must have looked at this spot several times before I went back and made the discovery. I must admit, feeling the sun burning the back of my neck and me trying to be quick didn’t really help! Nicely hidden little cache in plain sight!

This was the 5th of 10 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Waz and Vik***, for showing us this place.

Took awhile to find

Just knew there had to be one of these in the series. TFTC

Stopped by to pick this one up quick find signed MD TFTC

As each installment was released we solved them all … but from afar, too far to make a quick run for a find.
When the last release was published we were quick to solve them & for a brief moment we contemplated doing a night run but then remembered how many avid cache stalkers lived so much closer than we did, Orange Crew had certainly made a meal of the earlier releases! LOL ...
Waking early we checker our phones & saw that grannysmith1947 was out & about, on the prowl but we had already decided we were out of the FTF race & that, now the series were all published, we would just make a morning of trying to convert them all to smilies.
#15 of 30 caches found today.

It was a serious case of spot the dot here!
Sometimes following the blue 'dot' on the phone is far more accurate than following the compass as was the case here.
Nice quick find by Mrs VC who brought the cache to me, waiting in the Geo-Beast, for me to remove the log.
Job done, our mark Mrs VC promptly pushed the car door to close it & turned to go back & replace the cache as found.
Unfortunately for me she didn't see my right foot hanging out at the bottom of the door but she did HEAR ME SQUEAL as it jammed in the door she had tried to close!
Oh well, all put of the fun! LOL ...
The 'O' ring is already missing from the cache, hopefully moisture will not get in.

TFTC Waz and Vik

After the remaining puzzles of this series were published last night, I left the house early this morning hoping to get the one or other FTF done. But it looks like I was about one hour too late for this challenge. At the end I managed to find all caches in just under 2 hours and a l alos had a nice chat to other cachers on the way.

Thanks for the series and fun.

Georode

Helped mum get this series going for Mothers Day earlier this year including placement and puzzle checking, so pleased it’s finally out.

After an early start with Open Day Of Caboolture U3A and thereafter couple of hours on Bribie, we went searching the containers of the first 4 puzzles, which we solved last night.

Found this one and signed the log.

Tft interesting puzzles and caches!

Found it with TBU1BIKESU.TFTC

TFTC smile 4907 out and about with miss Millie geo dog Thank you for placing these cache they are really good for a oldie like me who has trouble with the internet Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment spent a good 15 mins looking then he hit me in the eyes gotcha

Out with wombles to create a few new smileys on this lovely winters day.

Thanks for the cache Waz and Vik

2TF @11.05 am. Geopartner and I were out enjoying the sunshine today for Ekka holiday. Solved the puzzle last night. Had read the book as a teenager. A nice quick find and signed the log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Waz and Vik All good with this cache and puzzle

This one took a bit of finding as we wandered round GZ but as luck would have it - I spied the little blighter first. Thanks for all the hard work that you have put into this series and the competition we have had to see who found the most - looking forward to the rest of the series as they are puzzles we have been able to solve, so a favourite point from us. Oh and the score so far is geowife 7 - hubby 5. now guess who gets to pay for lunch!!! TFTC Waz and Vik

This one took us a long time to find as my phone wanted us to look inside the fence.
We watched some kangaroos with a Joey bouncing across the field then got back to work looking for the cache.
Eventually nyssaflutterby located the tiny thing!

With a sick child and a studying spouse, my afternoon yesterday was spent tinkering away at solving this series of Agatha Christie mysteries, but being unable to leave the house to find them. Like Poirot, I took many wrong turns and got lost down some rabbit holes but got there in the end.

Today there was a chance to duck out and try to find them, so an early start was made, arriving just before dawn. This was the first one I searched for, but the coords had me 18m inside the barbwire fence, so I searched around but had no luck and went on with the others.

Later I was heading back past and managed to find the wee container thanks to some help. Have passed on the readings I took, which happen to get the same numbers I first had when I solved the puzzle, but the checker didn't agree. Nice to round up the last of the published series so far, and looking forward to the next installment!
