Did not Find 1:31 pm had look around and after checking logs and hints nah gave up our searching. Needs maintenance. Catching up on logs. My lovely other half treated me to a weekend away for my birthday. And we ended out here staying near Eastern Creek raceway. As part of my treat she lets me do a day of caching or as much as I want. So here we were now finding caches. For this one just couldnt find it.
Not a great start to this PT Series - I’m already doing it in fragments as I don’t have much time these days; will have to come back with adjusted expectations
We couldn't find this one after searching around for a while. I slipped down the little slope while looking which wasn't much fun. I hope it's still there somewhere
No joy here, particularly after Nooshi_Playz slid down the hill. Will have to re-attempt another time
The Geo NSW event bought us to the area and this series was well over due having only done a few some time ago. This want as tricky as some once we were on the right side. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.
This series has for too long been on my to-do list so I took the opportunity whilst in the area for the GC-NSW Event to finally chase a few of these offerings from our favourite Rainbow Man. I have heard all manner of horror stories about how tricky some of these hides are, but this was a quick find. 1 down:)

Rainbow Spirit I found your cache Pot of Gold PT, Orange 1 on 11/4/21, 2:05 pm. This is my find 3119 and find # 6 today. This one was a quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Out caching today in the 40 degree heat with Adonis & Meritonnn. We didn't see any other people out and about in the heat of the day but we did see some of the biggest spiders I've ever seen! Also, no snakes - but I'm sure they were around!!!
I got very lucky with this one, I spotted it almost immediately as my eyes scanned the area. Right time, right place, right height and right angle! I can definitely imagine being "cache blind" here though and having to search for a while. Grateful for a quick find in the hot conditions!

Just lucky enough that as we walked up Adonis and Emilycamden managed to spot it straight away - right level, right angle I think. Does blend in well. Tftc!
This one took forever! The clue led us majorly astray but we got there in the end, thank you
After a bit of a search, and being doubtful because of all of the dnf’s. I looked over and spotted it straight away! The hint makes sense, somewhat, once found but still had me scratching my head. Best to read through some logs and look in line maybe. The coordinates were a bit funky, but we made do! Thanks for a sneaky cache!
DNF for this one, had a good look all around GZ, also looked at previous logs for hints. It looks like the slope is now a small cliff, a lot of dirt washed away.. Rainbow Spirit.
Attempted to find this at 3:20:00 PM on 22Feb2020

On a day when the temperature reached 39 degrees, only mad dogs and crazy cachers go out in the midday sun! But we wanted one last hurrah to end 2018, and so EverestHigh and Brewmaker headed out west to attempt the Pot of Gold series and others around the area. We had a successful day overall, but the heat got the better of us at times and we had a few DNFs. Thanks for the variety of hides. I remember cycling through this area back in my pre-caching days. Happy New Year and many caching returns in 2019.
This one had us hanging around, but soon enough it was CIH. TFTC

Out this way for work today and had an hr to kill so saw these just 1km away. Was expecting this to be harder than I thought. Maybe I was lucky. TFTC!
Located at 8:55pm. So I found this cache in the rain, and looking through past logs, it seems a lot of other cachers have found this in the rain too Made good work of this cache by flashlight after logging a find on the CO’s nearby Cache Of The Overflow. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
OCW marj01 to tackle the twentyone caches in the Power Trail series along Orphan School Creek. We made an early morning start and did the series in the reverse order to the CO's numbering. A lot of time was spent examining casuarina trees looking for very well camouflaged caches. Of the twentyone caches we found fourteen of them with four dnf's; we didn't attempt the other three caches as they already had a string of dnf's. Thanks for the series Rainbow Spirit and the company marj01.
arrived at the GZ on a quiet Sunday morning, looked around for a few minutes before i spotted the cache. Signed & returned as found. thanks for placing & maintaining this cache & the series Rainbow Spirit

Well that was tricky! I had some company from some council workers (spray weeding) and l was worried they were going to ask me what l was up to (I had a back up story just in case) but thankfully they didn’t say anything (probably thought l was a looney, especially considering l went to the wrong area at first and realised GZ wasn’t where l was) with the help of an old log and photo l was able to locate Gz... but where is the cache? Found within a minute or two, I was lucky l was standing in the right spot at the right time! TFTC R_S!

Trying to get to my 1900 milestone as I have a special cache in mind but I still have 20+ to go so decided to target this PT.
Made my way here from #1 and originally tried from wrong side of the creek. There was plenty of water flowing and I didn’t want to get my feet wet so I rode around to the other side. Took me ages before I spotted this one. In the mean time it started to rain but managed to keep everything dry. SL and continued on to #3

This one blends in so well......until you spot it then it seems so obvious !

Found part one in this series but not this one.
Probably going to have to come back with C and see if her female searching prowess can do better.

Feeling crook with the Flu and decided to go home and rest. Then I thought some cache therapy will buoy my spirits. I found this one instantaneously just look at the right way. sometimes you fluke it Thanks Rainbow Spirit for placing the cache

Cycled here on a geobiking tour on full carbon. Hunted but could not find. I suspect one may need wings for this one but could be wrong.
I was lucky here that I happened to look right at the cache once I arrived to GZ. Tftc.
Clever and once found, the hint made sense! Bit worried about retrieval but... nailed it! Lots of hopefully just lizards scattering off. A few spider cache guardians too. Signed the log and off to the next one. TFTC!
Gps wouldn't settle on a firm gps, so I spent a decent time walking in circles at this one
The second cache of the day. Great camo used here which had me having to wipe the raindrops off my glasses to find the cache. Did the legals and replaced as found. A great day of Caching on the bike along this trail. With a couple DNF's, Muggles standing at GZ, water everywhere and some nice challenging caches to find. I would recommend this trail to all caches. Thanks Rainbow spirit for a fun afternnoon.

This day has been very good to find some caches in this area. [:o)] Together with Pitsch Patsch we walked this distance. Most of the hiding places could be found well thanks to the good coordinates and directions. [^] The route was ideal to walk, every now and then we saw a few cyclists using this route.
> Thank you for hiding and bringing the Moorhelmi from Germany.

After alittle bit of a search this one was found, only worked out the hint after finding it TFTC
Another cache on our way home after a day chasing water towers. We had DNF'd this one two years ago, being the only one we had not found in the Pot Of Gold series. Therefore it felt extra good to finally being able to put a smiley to its log page. We noted that last time we had been looking, we had been on another slope than on the one where we today found it.
Teamed up with Seemyshell today to ride the power trail and grabbed #2 along Orphan School creek. Getting to know the CO's style with some varied finds. A great cycle trail as well.
Thanks for the series Rainbow Spirit and the company Seemyshell.

I spotted it almost right away but retrieving it was a different issue. What a nightmare. But managed in the end. Logbook is completely full. I tried to put a new one in but could not get the cache back with a new and the therefore stiff logbook. So I put the full one back. Made a pic as I could not sign it.

Today we thought was a good day to go on a bit of a mostly Rainbow Spirit morning cache hunt with Phantom Cyclist. These ones fill in some more smileys in this area on our caching map. This one was a bit more tricky one to find as it was not readily visible due to the camo, but after reading some logs we got more of an idea on where to look. After spotting it the tallest of the group managed to reach it. The log was soon signed and the cache was then returned to its proper position. Thank you Rainbow Spirit for placing this cache for others to find and enjoy.
Being a nice sunny day it was decided to spend the morning caching with goingplaces2. This cache was a bit tricky to find but got there in the end. It was not easy to retrieve or put back. The both of us signed the log and placed back where it was found. Thanks Rainbow Spirit for placing this cache.
On recommendations of a caching couple I met at an Event, came out for a day-visit to the series of caches along the Orphan School Creek.
The GPS was all over the place, point to both sides of the track; that and not being able to work out exactly what the hint was about had me scrambling up/down either side of the cycle-path without success. A re-visit is definitely required - this looks challenging!

It's been a few years since we started the Pot of Gold series. Thought we'd pop out today on a warm spring Saturday to knock off a few of the missing ones. Arriving at GZ we were immediately reminded of the trickiness of RS' hides. This one did not disappoint. Mr Gaztek had the sharp eyes today. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
#2114 (8 of 14 today)
Well, headed south today and as the rain seemed to be holding off I hoped I could bag a good number of finds today - with lots of the remaining Pot Of Gold PT nabbed.
And good it was with not only the rain indeed holding off, but also getting 14 finds out of 14 attempts - two of which were somewhat surprising. And I only needed a PAF with one of them.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Got to GZ. Hmmm, where to start? Luckily, after casting my glance in a few directions, I found myself standing right next to it.
Didn't have too much trouble making the grab, and quickly completed signing duties and replaced.
Except for Red 3 which I didn't retry today after a previous DNF, I only have Red 1 to go.

16/08/15. 10:19 AM. Cache #2844. Streak day #420.
9th of 10 finds this morning.
I'm working my way through the western third of the Pot of Gold series, or Rainbow 1, this morning, plus getting a few of JQ's Cars series.
After finding "JQ's Doc Hudson", I now had a million farmers' friends attached to me to match the other million that I had picked up at various other caches along the way. Below the knees I was more burrs than jeans and sneakers!
Walking over to this one, I read the hint and logs and was intrigued. I tried one side, walking up and down and looking at a few possibilities, and then the other. Aha, that is tricky. Luckily, the tree had enough bend in it to bend to my will and give me cache in hand. I signed the log and then looked at the time.
I really needed to start heading for home, and if Red 1 was typically sneaky like the rest of the series, I wouldn't have time, so I have left it for another day. So this means, I have only the following Pots of Gold to find: Red 3 (which I suspect is muggled), Violet 2 (fenced off) and Red 1 (ran out of time). Not bad, and I'm stoked to have no DNFs today!
I did have time for a park and grab, however, and I did want to round the morning off with a 10th, so I drove up to "JQ's Lightning McQueen". TFTC.

Was staring right at it! Took about of effort to retrieve and return but the GeoBrother and I did it! TFTC!
After no luck with Rainbow Spirits other finds along here we finally found one TFTC
Found by Dwight Shrute in record time. The rest of the crew barely had chance to focus, let alone look! TFTC!

I had to wait a few minutes for muggle children to pass by GZ but after that I quickly had it in had
This took ages to spot until I went through previous logs, then I knew where to go.
Now only one more to go in the pot of gold series, the very last one down the other end,thanks again RS

Today we went for a drive and visited many nice parks.
We were not only looking for caches but also found many nice hidden spots.
Thank you for showing us all those nice spots.

Joined up with a group of Sutherland cachers to do some finds today, it was very hot but lots of fun.
this one took a while, 5 pairs of eyes all on different levels, several went climbing before there was an "oh there it is!" moment.
