Why do I bother

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Last Easter, Seffnjarah and I road tripped our way south to Armidale and surrounds, camping, caching and hiking along the way. I had planned a similar trip this Easter to Maryborough and then west to Mt Walsh and was joined at the last minute again by Seffnjarah.First order of business this morning was to climb Mt Walsh. After a successful mission, we visited Biggenden, where we collected the Adlab cache and I managed to secure a most excellent steak burger from the cafe in town. After collecting a few local Biggenden caches, we are now wandering south collecting a mix of interesting and unloved caches, including this one.We found evidence of the hanging wire but no cache. Another DNF here.

No luck on this one. The clue was pretty specific and all we found there was some wire that looked like it had been untwisted to remove the cache (see photo).

A great day for a drive in the country.
Blue skies, and not a cloud to be seen.
Forecast says it will hot up a bit , so an early start for us.
Burn off then recent rain so lots of fresh green growth in the paddocks.

Saturated log book - may need drying out as it was very difficult to open to a blank page without tearing. A ‘grate’ spot though! Tftc

01/01/2022 Attended the event hosted by Sweet-Sour today and was good to meet up with fellow cachers. After the event headed out to cleanup some caches around north Kilkivan. Signed the logsheet and returned cache to its hiding hole. Thanks for making this cache for my enjoyment. TFTC SL

Drove from Beaudesert to Hervey Bay and back in a day for one of my daughters awards presentation. 820 kilometers broken up by caching and meals. Really appreciate the CO's placing all these caches, and I certainly appreciated the air conditioning more on a hot 35 degree.

All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.

Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **youngoldfella**

Found Ok

Thanks for share DeafPhantom

Saturday morning and I decided to head to Dayboro once more to complete the Horse geoart, minus the disabled one, a few more of the We?? Geo and of course anything else that got in the way.

It was reasonably quiet on the back roads and apart from a few dodgy parking spots all caches were found in good condition.

All logs were signed and all were returned as found.

With the weather clearing it's time to hit the frog & toad again.
We thought Maryborough might be nice for a change but we couldn't help detouring via the backroads north of Kilkivan which still have so many caches on offer.
#29 of 55 smilies rounded up today.

I think MR & Mrs VC should swap cache targets.
We keep finding each others but can't find our own!
It helps here if you try opening the right end unlike Mrs VC.
AND it certainly is quite a loud shock when a local flies over the grid!
Made our mark & replaced as found.

We are now camped at the Kilkiven Rest area. A big weekend in town with the annual horse ride event on. A street parade of all sorts of horses & riders was part of our couple of days here.
We spent many klms driving the country roads, the farmers have to be happy with the acres of green grass in the paddocks.
We found a good variety of caches in a variety of locations.
Thankyou youngoldfella for placing this cache.

Out for another drive around these lovely country roads picking up some caches. Beautiful day here. Cache found, log signed and returned as found. Thanks youngoldfella for placing these caches.

This will be my last day for this visit to the Kikivan area.Found a goodnumber of geocaches today and this was a quick find along a country road. TFTC.

Still a lot mor to find.

Gotcha !!! Quick trip to the Sunny Coast to organise some spare parts. Always time to find a geocache on the way. TFTC

Hi there youngoldfella.

We found your cache **"Grid 60851"** today. (This makes our find count 25630).

Back to start some more cache trails from Kilkivan. Today's plan was to head north up Running Creek Road and then continue on to Brooweena - Woolooga Road

It was a really nice drive today, made even better by not having to wade through long grass to find the caches. Our tally today was 44 caches & 0 DNF's.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Either a smiley badge or a gold coin

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Staying at Goomeri for a few days to catch up on all the caches that have been released in the area since we were last here. One of loads of cattle grids we went over during the day, didn't expect to find this one where I did. TFTC youngoldfella [:_]

Travell ing North towards Kilkivan and the surrounding districts to try my hand at finding some Caches thar were hidden for the New Year's event and some I've missed on previous trips. Great countryside and great country roads around there thanks for bringing me here again

Thanks for a great cache youngoldfella

Out on a mission with Willis007 and Chamad. I thought the morning adventures were fun, but this trip really added to it. So many laughs. So many issues (rarely with the caches - they were the easy parts!). A huge afternoon that turned into and even bigger night.

Day 2 of the New Year event at Kilkivan. Having a wonderful time meeting new cachers as well as catching up with some old faces.
After gathering heaps of caches this morning, it was time to pack up at camp as I needed to head towards home.
TripleTurmoil and CHAMAD decided to join me on the journey up north to find some more new and older caches. We had a super fun afternoon racing around finding these caches, and very much appreciate the CO efforts with these.
This was a quick find, log signed, cache replaced as found.
Thanks YOF for the cache.

After a tumultuous morning of caching it was decided to go out with just three of us this time and cache some of the new caches and grab some older ones as we passed. So now it was just Willis007, 4hawkers and myself. I really thought we could not have any more laughs but the day just continued and I had a stitch from laughing so much.

The caches on this trip were varied, a variety of sizes and hides but all were in good condition. The countryside around here is amazing and just beautiful, thank you for bringing us around here.

Thank you to all the CO’s for placing caches around this area, I really enjoyed the drive around here and finding your caches. Sorry for the generic log but we found approximately 70 caches this afternoon.

This was a nice set of caches down this road.

Dianne (doscrapbooking), my daughter and I decided to cache together today, starting off on Tansey Rd, then north to Booubyjan, northeast to Teebar and finally south back to Kilkivan.
Unfortunately we didn't find any first to finds, they had all gone by the time we arrived at all cachers.
All finds were in good condition and were replaced as found.

Caching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan and our new little geopup. We have Liz and Bruce in the geomobile with us today. Oddiewan has his eyes on a new milestone so it’s a long day of caching ahead. A really neat spot caching has brought us to.

Thanks for the fun, youngoldfella

Sweet-Sour and I are going for a Geocaching day together

Visiting Kilkivan for a few days and enjoying finding all the newly released caches with hatzofff, E_Smiley and RoddyC.
