By Willis007 on 06-Jan-21. Waypoint GC949EA

Tftc. Another Drumbeat collected. Makes eight for this morning.

Today we went on another short cache tour to look for some caches from the Drum Series.Thanks for the entertaining cache seriesTeam sissifalke

A nice easy little find. Glad to be ticking off some of these mystery caches!TFTC! This is find number 461Signed log as KOPHD

Today, I was joined by Seffnjarah on a caching run around the northside, collecting interesting puzzles and the odd higher DT cache here and there.Last for the day. As we were parked on the other side of the water, Seff graciously offered to get his shoes wet, rather than walk the long way round. All OK here. Many thanks Willis007Pete#8,081

Out on a very warm day geocaching with Legend and Sniggypop to try to find the rest of the drum caches that we solved earlier this year. Quick find for this one.

Out today with ILTW and Legend to do some more of The Drum. All the puzzles have been done in advance so a nice easy walk and find. TFTC

I have a list of solved puzzle caches in this series that I put aside until I'd solved a few more. Well I've got sick of looking at the half completed list so I decided to go in search of a few random ones today.I arrived at GZ and the GPS was spot on when it pointed me to the cache that was easily found.TFTC

Quick solve and find not many left nearby my local area tftc

After the Tardy Mouse Event in Alderley this morning I went for a ride to pick up a few drum caches. This one was a nice quick find. Thanks for the cache and the clever puzzle Willis007!

I had solved this cache ages ago, and although jt isnt too far away, I hadnt stopped to make the find. His was a nice and easy puzzle to solve, when compared with othersphew.I had two to find around this area and this was my first find. It wasnt too tricky to find at the right angle.Thanks, Willis007, for the puzzle and the series. Ill get through them all at some point.

Spending the day around north Brisbane targetting mostly the Drumbeats but also some nearby caches and ALs. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Out and about caching today on Brisbane northside - caching with joojoo57,endeavour 3 and myself, Richmond Lad. Log book signed as jj57, E3 and RL to save space. Found cache and signed log. TFTC

Driving past this one on route for another and decided on a quick stop.Cache found quickly and log signed.TFTC

Solved quite a few drumbeats but this is the first I have signed! Thought I would find more than 1 on the way to coffee but this took longer than I should have till I read the hint. TFTC

Another beat on the drum. I love this series.

What a lovely area to live in. A nice quick find here today. TFTC

1018 for the tribe

After a mad dash around the bush before sundown grabbing some traditionals and ALs needed a dinner break, and enjoyed some absolutely amazing local cuisine before tackling two caches from this epic drumming geoart. Not being a drummer, I have learnt so much from solving these puzzles about drums, rudiments and Phil Collins, among other things, and have much to learn with the ones I am yet to complete. A big thank you to the CO for placing and maintaining this geoart. All in good order and condition here, log signed as R&T.

This was a simple find except if you have cache blindness and it’s right there in front of you. TFTC and the series of puzzles.

Solved a long time ago. Finally made a plan to get a few in the area. Grabbed a coffee from the local cafe and this is our first stop for the day.
Sarah spotted it. Nil concerns with the cache.

Out to beat a spot of boredom on a warm Sat arvo before needing to collect 1GiantPanda from work locally at 6pm. I opted for some more close to home/his work Dum Beat caches and a bit of a walk to get up a few steps. Unfortunately I couldn’t get near the first cache I parked at, as a family was having a BBQ picnic right opposite, and there was far too much interest in the water here. So I decided to skip it and continue on my way around, hoping maybe, just maybe, they may have moved on by the time I had completed my journey.
Heading to this one I was grateful for a muggle free escapade, with a man over the other side reading a book, completely oblivious to me and my foolings.
Heading in from the right angle I quickly saw the cache.
Thanks for the cache Willis007.

A drummer got a tattoo of their drum kit on their arm. It was very cymbalic! TFTC

Out and about in the area with Wallaby Wanderers and wonder dog Zelda after a parkrun at Chermside. We collected a few caches today, all were straight forward finds. Thanks to the COs for placing and looking after these ones.

checked in on this one, still beating

A Drum Beat puzzle that I had solved back in March 2021, and it only required some research and logic that even I could solve with my limited music knowledge.

Today, my vehicle was required to be serviced/repaired in Kedron, which gave me an opportunity to stop at a few geocaches around Chermside whilst I was on my way home. Older geocaches were targeted during my small time window, but otherwise, it was a pleasant late morning prior to the afternoon's planned thunderstorms.

This was my last cache find of the morning as I headed home; the nearby road was a common route of mine, and so I figured I'd quickly make the turn and then stop here. Thankfully, the cache was a quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Willis007 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After a morning of retail therapy including some caching supplies it was time to get outside and find some of the puzzles on my solved list. TFTC

Found & logged using Cachly for iOS

Out and about after work again this evening picking up a few more drum beats. Found this one quickly in the fading light. Cache in good condition, thanks for the cache Willis007, nice work. Find #7463 at 6.03pm

Spotted this one as we approached.. TFTC

Got in coffee at Rode Road, a lab cache, a bike ride and a few of these drums before the rain defeated me. Time for some Netflix

Whatever happened to the dry season

TFTC Willis007

I’ve been working through solving this puzzle series. I was visiting nearby raven street reserve and stopped for this one. TFTC

Maintenance run today. Log has been replaced, last one almost full.

Most of these were done by google, quite some time ago. A short hunt to locate the prize here.

Decided to get our 10000 steps in this morning with a couple of cache finds in between.

Nice hide.

With all the puzzles now solved, it was time to put the drum back together! Didn't take too long to spot this one, all in good order. Tftc Willis007

On a day out with Barbbowman today discovering an area I have hardly ever seen. Now that I live closer - I shall be able to do more of the ones around here - it was a hot day too so that slowed us down a bit. A great day out with lots of laughs and finds. All caches were in good condition - or if needing maintenance we took care of it as we went around.
Thanks to the owners for adding to our enjoyment of the game today.

smh and i are heading home now

now let me ... found it
but i am not ... found it

i like this puzzle
some i knew ... some google knew

After spending the morning deliverying Christmas gifts and hampers on behalf of the Brisbane Basket Brigade, we stopped off to pickup a couple of caches on our way home.

We wandered around for a few minutes before I spotted the container.

Thanks!!

That ended a run. First damp log for a while. Thanks Willis007 for another smiley on this 3 night stopover l

Had some time to spare this morning but needed to hang around this area so what to do? Well, not one to beat my own drum (so to speak) but having these puzzles solved and on my radar made for an excellent morning's entertainment. Spotted quickly here.
Thanks Willis007 for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #10149}*

I had worked this one out a couple of months ago and decided to visit this area today for some geocaching. Quick find but log slightly damp but still able to sign easily. Tftc

I parked up nice and close to this one. Gunnie got there first and signed the log before I arrived! TFTC

A swift park and grab for NurseyJulie and I to mix things up in this series. As we pulled up, I jumped out of the car and had the cache in hand before NJ was out of the car. Names in the log and container tucked back in place, we took off on foot to the other nearby puzzle.

Cheers Willis007.

A young child told his mother, "When I grow up I'm going to be a drummer." His mother responded, "Well honey, you know you can't do both."

For this example, Drummer is interchangeable with many other nouns.

Enjoyable walk along the path mid week, not having to dodge or tempt muggles. Quick find exactly where the GPS said it would be, thanks Willis007 for the series to date.

Dodging the awakening bat poo was FUN!! TFTC

Thanks for the percussion lesson here. Guessed a couple, but googled quite a few here.
Having found another cache in the series close by, we walked along the stormwater drain and entered a bush area to get our second cache of the day. No one around this quiet little area. The cache container was spotted after a little while and log sheet signed. All good with the cache, sheet a little damp but easy to write on.
Thanks very much for the series Willis007. It’s a mammoth effort to solve and find these, and we have the easy job, so well done for creating such an interesting and diverse set of caches. Cheers

This one is close to home so one day came out to scout the area.
Had no luck that day.
Back today while the weather is fine, although a little cloudy.
My navigator was playing up so used an elimination process.
Ah, there you are. Found in good condition although it felt a little damp, maybe after last night's rain. All good though.
Signed and returned as found.
Thanks for the puzzle and TFTC

Have ben staying in Chermside for the last 5 days supporting our friend who was undergoing heart surgery in the Prince Charles. During our breaks we managed to stretch our legs and pick up a few caches closer to the hosp.

Total Cache Finds 11761,

I had three more of the Drum series to find and they were sitting on my map annoying me. So, this morning, before we headed off for a day of caching, it was decided that we would complete this series. Next, we headed to this one. It was quickly located and the log signed. Series is now complete. Thanks Willis007 for lots of fun and TFTC.

Found it nice walk

I liked the idea for this puzzle, still needed some help from old googs to solve. At GZ, Swearah had the eagle eyes and spotted the hide. TFTC!

Another day out with swearah, jodsta83 and Krcamber collecting solved drum puzzles.

Started on the wrong side of the drain and the jump was to big and the bottom looked far to slippery. So a quick drive to the other side Swearah coming up with the super quick smiley thanks for the cache.

Out with jodsta83, Stephyy and krcamber finding this great series. A quick spot and sign at GZ and now we’re off to the next one!

Thanks for the puzzle and cache, Willis007

Out with krcamber, swearah and Stephyy for day 2 of grabbing some drums.
We have been collectively solving these ones and today is the day to put some smileys on the map.
Swearah spotted this one before my GPS settled making a nice quick find here.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache, Willis007

In the local area for the second time to find some more Drum geoart with geo friends, hatzofff, RoddyC, patrol14, grannysmith1947 and Imbunda. This was a beautiful day full of fun, tree climbing, fishing and just plain old walking.
Thanks CO for the great puzzles, beaut containers and good hides.

TFTC Willis007

I had a late start today as I had to have my leg dressed, caching injury 3 or 4 weeks ago and I also had a hair cut booked but then I was able to join with RoddyC, Hatsoff, Patrol14, Snickersallen and GrannySmith1947 to do a bit of Drumming and a few other caches. Its always good to have company.
Cache found, log signed and all replaced as found. TFTC

Picking up a few smiles while in the area. Out with RoddyC Patrol14 snickersallan GS1947 imbunda (SPRIGH Team). Lovely walk out and about.

TFTC smile 9644 ?? out and about with miss millie geo dog ?? Hatzofff ??RoddyC?? Snickersallan and Patrol14 great cache, great friends, great day ,good weekend
Thank you, Willis007, for placing this cache for our enjoyment. ????

Now that we have more freedom, it's time to get out and about. Target: More of the Drum Beat Series which we started a couple of weeks ago. I figure we shall need another day to finish them off. Our team met up at the Stafford City Shopping Center and we started from there. All up we had just the one DNF at #6.

Nice paint job on the cache! I had never realised where some of these instruments had originated. Thanks for the edification.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on 21st August 2021. TFTC, Willis007

Out with geofriends (RoddyC, hatzofff, GS1947, Snickersallan and Imbunda) targetting the drumbeat series and others along the way.
Certainly got an education on musical percussion instruments solving these puzzles.

A quick find. SL then returned as found.

Found on 21 August 2021. TFTC, Willis007.

After dropping my daughter off at work I decided to go for a walk to get my daily steps.
Thanks to google this was solved easily and found just as easily.
TFTC Willis007

Another one bites the dust....

TFTC!

Continuing along, I realised I should have crossed over when I had the chance as the water was running high and fast today.
Not to worry, I put more steps in my day and soon found the cache nice and dry, and well hidden.
TFTC where all is well.

Easy find. Tftc

2000th mystery find. Quick find but the log did not want to come out. Thanks for the cache

I decided to swoop by and grab a couple caches from the Drum Beat series while on my home from work.

I had no issue spotting this one while I wandered over towards GZ. I quickly signed the log and continued down the path to the next one.

Thanks for giving me a reason to stop by Willis007.

#2205 - TFTC

Finally got out in the afternoon after family stuff. I still have more of the Drum Beat geoart to find.
11 more sign today.
Thank you CO for the fun puzzle and the mix of hides.

All found in good condition.

Sorry for the generic log

Maintenance visit on this cache today, have re-tethered it in the tree.
Enjoy!

Found it TFTC

A second visit to this one as last time I found myself in full sight of a muggle sitting on the bench opposite and decided to go elsewhere.

This time after a small circle around GZ I made a quick find. TFTC, Willis007.

Another good location for a drive by collection after work. Probably should get started on solving the rest left to go. King Lizard was hardly even out of the car before I was heading back after the signing duties were done.

After we jumped out of the car I started looking away madly for the cache. I looked at Mrs Woodyrothwell who had this facial expression that resembled a stunned mullet. She was having one of those moments where she had completely forgotten why we were here.

I don’t know whether it’s menopause or she’s starting to go senile but she was lost in whatever thought she was buried in. I asked her whether she was up for reading some old logs when it dawned on her we were looking for caches. We had a bit of a laugh and as soon as she had her attention back in the game spied the hide seconds later.

I’m starting to think that when she conveniently forgets to stock the wine fridge her head isn’t in the game either. tftc

after work I decided to pop in on the way home and find a couple of caches. I am trying to continue a streak and so far I am up to 31 days in a row. this series is perfect as it is on my way home from work. I loved learning about all the different types of percussion instruments with this puzzle and at gz I soon spotted this cache. thankyou for all the fun

Continuing on this wonderful puzzle trail. Thanks Willis007 for arranging and hiding

Found at 12:37 PM GAFF5 in the company of DiMorgan.
Just as we were getting the cache out, the gardener came past on his ride on mower and didn't even look up at us to see what weird things we were upto.

Thanks Willis007

We have now set up camp at the Caboolture showgrounds. We have been joined for a couple of days by pprass.
Today was the 2nd day to finish off the drum series, the puzzles had been completed prior to leaving. home. So much information learnt about drummers & drumming.
This series today we spent about half & half of the time bike riding & by car. The bike riding was by far the most enjoyable.
Thankyou Willis007 for placing this cache.

Today we looked for some more of the Drum Beat caches.
This one we've found quickly.
TFTC

A team effort to solve all the caches in this series in preparation for burgo78 visiting the big smoke.
Loaded the bikes this morning and set out to log the series by car and bike.
Met some friendly muggles, saw wallabies and a turtle, rode bikes in the mud, and through fast-flowing creeks.
Easy tree climbs and some hard-to-find ones.
Wet feet and shoes all day due to plenty of water in many parks.
The Kedron brook was flowing quickly, would have been an adrenaline-packed paddle today.

Thank you Willis007 for this series and my apologies for the copy-paste logs

Out with Karicka targeting the Drums series today. On the bikes for most and the car for the rest.

Karicka was quickly into this one.
Logs signed as BK.

Thanks Willis007 for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Nice find! TFTC

It was dark and slightly rainy as I drove home this evening, but I "needed" a cache! This one was reported to be a quick find. Coords were good, but using a phone as a flashlight did not help one bit... TFTC!

Looking at this parcel, I thought it would be a very quick solve, however it did take a bit of juggling and a couple of goes to finally sort a green light and a confirmed set of coordinates.
Out for our trip and to collect as many of these as we could, and now happily full after a good lunch, this was a quick find at GZ, where we had parked the car close by.
Thanks Willis007.

Friday. Our main aim of the game today was to collect some more of these caches. We’d collected some unrelated solved puzzles earlier and we were hoping to grab several more, if not the rest of these caches to finish off the good looking geoart on our map. Another quick find after Mr SP dropped me off and found a better parking spot whilst I walked ahead. Container was at my limit of height though (glad I’m not any shorter).

This was the 7th of 15 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***Willis007*** for showing us this place

Another quick find. TFTC

Another quick find here, and was able to put pram right up near the cache. TFTC

Found with Zacgyver. TFTC

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Willis007. Enjoyed solving the puzzle and finding the cache with Domsky.

Appreciate your time and effort for putting out and maintaining these for our enjoyment.

A puzzle that required some research, that of course then resulted in an enormous amount of ads selling me all sorts of drum related paraphernalia... and I have trouble holding the beat in a doof doof club in the valley... but I digress...

This was a nice quick find with spot on co-ordinates... tftc...

The drum beats are strong and keep calling me back. I think that this is my 4th visit to collect another few of them.

I pulled up near this one and as I walked across the road a muggle pulled out of their driveway. I suppose they wondered what I was heading into the trees for.

Not to worry, I soon spotted the cache. I am going to start wearing platform shoes to reach these caches.

TFTC Willis007

Met for a bicycle ride with Team Tyrrell this morning and collected a good amount of the new Drum series. I had good fun solving the puzzle beforehand and once we arrived at GZ, we found most caches quite quickly.

Thanks for the series in the northern suburbs!

Georode

So many solved puzzles calling to us, even in our sleep, that here we are again for Day 3 collecting Drum Beats & smilies.
We haven't had a really good geoart in a while and this one is certainly getting us back in the game!
Kudos to Willis007 for the effort put in.
#16 of 25 caches found today.

Sorry PEPPA we are still using Google (I can't seem to get Duck Duck Go to install on my laptop)
A quick search soon revealed the correct order we needed to collect the coordinates.
Now to collect a smilie.
Mrs VC wasn't quite 'up' to this one so in came the cavalry.
The cache was calling 'Reach out and touch me' so I did.
Made our mark and replaced as found.

TFTC Willis007

Out for the usual ride to Redcliffe this morning which includes a loop around through back blocks of Aspley. A check of the caching maps showed there were a couple of drums which could be played on the way home.

Now this cache is the closest to home ( of those solved) I'm pretty sure there are a number that are closer but I have not yet noticed any when playing with the Grand kids down the park.

Now if I a drew a line between this cache and home I would say the household with the drum player would be at the halfway point. Hence, when the drummer was practicing I would hear the drum both at my house and here at the cache. Fortunately the practicing has not occurred for several years now. When it was occurring it was usually in the late afternoons. This particular drummer did however engage in jam sessions most likely around the person's birthday. Usually once a year we would need to listen to a drum session up to midnight.

Now as for the cache which was showing just across from my back fence - well I solved it and that will involve a nice little bike ride in another valley. That will be for another day.

Out and about on the Geobikes today with Georode picking up a few of the drum series. All up we cycled almost 40 km's darting around the suburbs collecting smilies.

I've enjoyed solving the puzzles so far, however there are still quite a few for me to get my head around and get the green tick of approval. Lots more headaches to come for me.

Thanks Willis007 for the placement and upkeep of this series. ( I'm sure i'll be picking your brain and looking for hints in the coming weeks.
