Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

If you wish to contact a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there carkisser,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ). Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers are not mind readers (unfortunately), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56), so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

Whew I’m glad this one was a bit easier. TFTC

Good sized caches, with accurate coordinates and good hints are making for a pleasant drive and an enjoyable day. Thank you for the effort you have put in to setting this trail for all to enjoy. Log book in very poor condition.

Today was my day to finish off the challenge caches on Mt. Disappointment and grab a few of those trad caches as we drove past. This is the second time up here for the challenges and today we were determined to get the job done. However we picked the worst day possible it was bitterly cold and blowing a gale. Every 5 minutes we would get a burst of rain then 5 minutes of sun just before the next shower of rain. Occasionally we got pelted with rice size hail which was fine as it just bounced off and we didn’t get wet. It really was a bit of fun.

The wind had picked up so bad that on the way out we had to stop and help a truck driver to remove a falling tree on the road.

More to come

Headed south from Brisbane to attended the Whittlesea mega. Depending on the log size and who I was with this is signed as nikid1, ND1 or TQ5 (team Queensland).

Second day up this way and we thought we might as well grab a few more of this series.


TFTC and impressive trail carkisser

The goal was 400 in a day—a pretty big task. But with Mt Disappointment and the Power Trail, it was a possibility. We started strong and hoped to find a high percentage of this excellent series. Unfortunately, it was a Mountain of Disappointment as the geomobile did not appreciate idling and travelling at very low speed as much as we did. It let us know the gearbox was not happy, so we had to pull the pin after 130 finds.

We did have the pleasure of seeing a range of Australian wildlife, one roo, several wallabies and four wombats, which it pretty cool.

We apologise for the generic log, as we prefer not to write them. We have some time pressures and cannot write 130 different logs.

All caches were found in excellent t condition unless otherwise noted.

Thank you, carkisser & JSando, for this long series of Traditional caches. We will be back to finish the series in the future.

Twas the night before mega
With dark night and cold air
Off we go caching
late nights do not scare.

Kangaroos are of plenty
Five wombats we did see
How many caches will we get?
One? Maybe two or three.

Great company with Dromaniax,
Lucky we had a stamp
Plenty of caches were found here
Some good, some old, some damp.

Thank you

Found and signed dsd or darksidedan or AB or Adventure Boys to save space in the logbook. Thanks for the cache and the Adventure

Mouldy log

Adventure boys!
We found in peace.

Logbook is mouldy and soaked not ae to sign need urgent repairs

Spending the day grabbing the rest of these Mt Disa caches quick grab here. The log needs to be canging however as it is just a clump of wet dirty paper not able to be signed. TFTC

Leaving Melbourne at lunch I decided to hit this trail and attempt my 150 in 24hrs challenge. Probably better tried on long summer days I had to take this opportunity on ny way home to Canberra with the right amount of time to myself to give it a shot. Tomorrow will tell the tale of success or not.

I have been intending to have a go at finding the caches on this iconic geocaching route for a while now. Today was the day, well to make a start anyway .. generally the coords and hints were spot on, unfortunately a small number of the caches we found were a bit damp but I still managed to make my mark…next time I will bring spares. We were surprised with the amount of people here, dirt bike riders, shooters 4WDers and campers… and of course geocachers. A few caches we had to give a miss due to muggle activity but got them on the way back. Apologies in advance for the generic logs! Thanks to carkisser and JSando for the series .. I can’t imagine how much work was put into the series .. much appreciated! We will be back to get the rest.. but maybe not on Easter weekend

TFTC

TFTC! A new log would be apreciated.

Tftc

TFTC hubby got a little stumped with this one thinking the clue would make it easy

Found

Wet wet wet

Great day out with Bogonghazy on our way to Mansfield. Goal was to find 200 caches and we did.
Beautiful day and thank you for placing the caches. Will be back to finish them off.

Nice sunny weather and surely it can’t last So headed back into the forest from a different direction. Fab fun exploring this territory and a relaxing caching day. Shared the trails with dirt bikes, domestic loggers, and sightseers.

I wasn’t looking for huge numbers ‘tho the finds started to pile up after lunch. Having said that, a couple of sneaky hides had me spinning in circles As I’ve said before about this PT, the hides are consistent, good coords and hints Rounded out the day with a visit to Broadford to give the car a hose down before returning to Yea. I should sleep well tonight.

Not to get logging as keen to see what’s left on the map

TFTC carkisser and JSando

Apologies for the extremely late and generic logs, I have only just realised I didn't finish logging all of these on our geocaching trip with Leeyah29 several months ago! As much as I dislike doing it this way I am going to log all of the missing ones this way so I can catch up! TFTC! we really enjoyed doing this series and hopefully we can come back for some more of them soon! this was Leeyah29s first close encounter with a guardian huntsman sitting on the cache! Lol she definitely got a fright and was a lot more cautious when searching for the rest of them from here!!

Spider guiding it

Found it

Started the day with the aim of getting my 100th find. Got that quickly and finished the day with 27 total finds. Thanks Carkisser & JSando

We could see the affects of deforestation a little clearer around this section. Could spot the cache from the car! TFTC

How exciting..... number 30 for the day.

Fun

Found with Jimmytherat. Glorious day for It Thanks again carkisser & Jsando.

TFTC carkisser & JSando. Nice easy find after a dnf. Jimmytherat with Noelle04

Finally, a weekend with no kids and (momentarily) lifted ISO restrictions. We’ve known about this epic series since we started caching a few years ago but have never made the trek from South Gippsland. We started on Saturday 20th at about 11.30am and cached steadily until dark, which was pretty early given it was Winter Solstice. The campsites were all full with dirt bikers, so we found a quiet spot in the bush to camp. A wet night ensured followed by an early start and we got back to the caches again. We only had until mid morning, but over the two days we found a total of approx 152 caches.
Apologies in advance for the generic logs! There were only a few DNF’s and we’ll log those separately. Caches were otherwise in excellent condition and the coords and hints were spot on.
Thanks so much to carkisser and JSando for this extraordinary series! We applaud the effort that you have put into placing and maintaining these caches We look forward to coming back and finding the rest

Found this one out in the open ... have put it back where we think it should have been. TFTC

Found TFTH

Back out on the mountain with +Wife and our Geo Mutts, Eve The Staffy and Max The Collie.
Fantastic caching weather on a public holiday.
Onto the dirt road now. Windows up, aircon on, in an attempt to keep the dust level down inside the car.
Another one of those: "This one took much longer than it should have!"
How many times have we heard that uttered?
Round and round and round...
Back to the GePrado and start again. Ah! Gothcha!
A nice variety of wildlife was seen and heard today.
The Pink Heath was in full bloom.
What more could you ask for?

Lots of lizards out basking in the sunshine but we were quite pleased that we didn't see any snakes today. [^]
Thanks for the cache carkisser & JSando.

With my caching buddy Spiffy- overseas, It was a chance for me to go get some caches he has already found (there are lots as he is 1500 ahead of me and started 1 year after me...)

My target area was Mt Disappointment. I had an idea to ride the bike, but it was a little warm and the roads a bit harded than I first thought so left the bike in the car. All caches were founs within a couple of minutes as the coords were good and the geotrails helped.

Thanks to carkisser & JSando for the placement and fun.

Easy find and less scratchy:-)

Heading out on a family picnic for New Year we managed to make our way back to this area and to see if we could add a few more in this series, Found as we headed along enjoying the sun, family and a great day, TFTC and the fun, we look forward to returning to continue one day

With permission of the team member who was in the local hospital we decided on a day our this time with a goal of collecting 150 finds for the day which will if achieved will be our best caching day and after spending the day collecting cache after cache we ended with 151 finds and 3 DNFs so it was a rely good outing today.

Sorry it is copy and paste logs most were nice quick finds some proved a little more difficult however most we very easy finds and some require a little attention from the owner for wet logs with it being a good day as it was cool to start and didn't get over hot during the day we managed to make the goal of 150 finds with 1 extra just to be sure.

Thanks carkisser & JSando for placing this series for us to make such an assault to collect so many caches on one day.

**Find #3038**

Turned that frown upside down today. DNF'd last time. I think the hint may have thrown me off the trail last time. Should just use the eye balls, that usually helps. A fantastic series, that I keep revisiting on the Geo-motorcycle. Any excuse to play on dirt tracks.

Thanks **carkisser**

TFTC.

Found it
Thank you

Day 2 - out and about on our quest to log 80 finds. Beautiful area. Beautiful story. TFTC and to carkisser and JSando for placement and to all who help maintain this series for others to enjoy. (Log 56:80)

This series was on the cards today, most of the caches I did were all in good condition, unfortunately it seems some of the cache sbetween 45-69 are missing due to widening of the road were I had quite a few DNFs.
Caches between 184-191 need replacing as they are all wet.
Cache from 180-140 are in great condition and were all quickly located.
Overall I had a good trip and a good few hours out finding these

Today was a big day out, well it felt like it anyway. With the rain coming out of the clouds early I was unsure if my plan would be put to action. After hosting an event in the morning the skies seemed to clear so off I went in search of some Mount Disappointment caches. After finding just over 100 of them I decided to pull the pin and head back to Melbourne to do some more interesting caches. Some multis were on the cards and some finals were located but due to the amount of high muggles frequency due to this so called thing of “school holidays”, I had to leave the caches.  Finished off the day with an event near Marvel stadium and on the Spirit to Tasmania.

A great day out with 118 finds. A good few days in vic finished off.

Thanks for the cache

DNF.

First stop today, and a failed driving lesson. Not sure if it is missing or I just didn't see it.

Tftc

After a lot of planning over the last few months, the day had finally come to get stuck into this series. I followed the route I had worked out without being sidetracked and everything went pretty much as I had hoped. I made my first find at 7:10am and the last for the day at 6:15pm. By 7 o’clock I was sitting in the Red Lion in Kilmore enjoying a cold beer and thinking back over a most enjoyable day. There was of course the odd DNF along the way as well. The weather was kind to me which helped a lot as well. A big thanks to carkisser & JSando for placing this and maintain this series. Cheers and TFTC

If you are not in a hurry then this is a nice little detour not too far off the Hume so here I am chipping away in chunks at Dads Driving Lessons which likely wasn’t a marathon done in one hit. Good day before the rain comes with little traffic - just a few wood collectors foraging around. All caches spotted quickly apart from one although a few a wee bit damp. TFTC series - I’ll be back for more sometime!

Dad decided to take a drive on a quiet country road and collect a few (hundred) caches today tomorrow and the next day. Mt Disappointment here I come. Find #[email protected]

This morning we were heading for Melbourne’s Oldest cache and so we unfortunately didn't have time to do too many of this impressive series, but we couldn't drive right past them either, and so having left our overnight camping spot we took this road out so that we could at least make a dent in the series and draw a line of smilies. We soon found this one once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

TaurusSix came to my rescue here.

Quick find,thanks for a great series and bringing us to this interesting area.TFTC

After conquering the dizzying heights of Mount Disappointment,
I still had some time to while away before heading back to camp.
So why not find some more disappointing caches ??

Next stop here !!
Where somewhere,
a cache was found

I swear I'm getting better at spotting 'em now.
Practice makes almost perfect

TFTC

What better way to spend the Australia Day holiday than on a Geocaching power trail!
Thanks

This was subsequent find for the day on the actual Dad's Mt Disappointment Driving Lesson series which Geowife and myself decided to attack today in the hope of achieving 100 plus finds in a day (which was achieved. And this one was picked up from where we left off last year with the only DNF in our run on these new caches in the series been #115 Anyway after a quick park and grab on this one we started the series in earnest at this point and had a productive day in the end finding around 105 plus caches for the day. TFTC.

Quick find and thank you so much for the cache

Pity about all of the logging in the area I guess it’s due to the bushfire

Great day out with Team Justice, successfully completing this wonderful series in a day. The challenge has appealed to us for a long time, and it was incredibly satisfying to be able to complete it. Throughout the day we often marveled at the size and quantity of the containers you must have had at home in order to lay these out. Thanks so much carkisser for this astonishingly ambitious and well executed series. We loved it!

A plan was hatched with Clint & Abby over 12 months ago when we saw these caches come out over time. We could get 100, nah, let’s get them all and soon after a few drinks we decided to attempt the lot in 1 day. Time passed and somehow we found ourselves talking about it at a recent event (yes, and more drinks). Let’s do it after Christmas, ok. So, we meet in Wallan at 6am to begin the long day.

We had a few ideas to speed up our caching given we were trying to find 300+ caches in a day and that our previous record was about 60 in a day so this was going to be tough. We put the GPS and pens on lanyards do we could keep our hands few when getting the cache and didn’t have to pick up or get things out of our pockets. We did shifts of 1 hour, so one person did the driving, ate, re-hydrated and relaxed, while the other cached for the hour. The driver also provided the clue up front between caches as the cacher counted the distance down to the cache.

Now to the clues. Tree, stump, log, rock! We were getting a good chuckle over the clues, ‘beside tree’, we are in a forest! We found some of the ‘logs’ were not yet logs (i.e. trees), but they were close most of the time. We thought there might be some sort of random clue generator sometimes.

To the numbers. 330 caches attempted in 10 hours and 22 minutes. We had 7 DNFs and a total of 323 finds. This meant an average find time (including DNFs) of 1 minute, 53 seconds. We were quite amazed at the speed we could go and how quick you could find, sign and move on. It also comes down to the great containers laid out by carkisser for this power trail. Nice and large, and easy to find and extract the logs. We only came across one Eclipse time late in the day. Our biggest hour of finds was our 5th hour of 42 finds. This averaged out at 1 minute and 25 seconds per cache.

Overall, we had a great time as it was a challenge to push ourselves to get all these caches. We loved the layout and the effort to place all these caches. Thanks so much to carkisser for the caches.

I'm in Melbourne for a few day's with Horsesrule1990, heading to the event and to pick up as many caches as possible. Once the Melbourne Mega raps up we will head to the Gold Coast , for a few day hitting all the fun parks. Then heading back to Western Australia, and back to Work. Would like to thank everyone for there caches and there efforts hiding then for us to find.all Tftc.

Over for Parkville Event started early this Morning after I landed in Melbourne, with Becknmonts and Loulou0212 we saw some beautiful scenery, great fun completing this series in 1 day

The area has been clear-felled and the dozer has been through so couldnt find it today.

After Becknmonts and I picked gabs1963 up from the airport we headed out to start our day, a beautiful quick stop at Melbourne’s first before we headed to start this trail, thanks so much for putting theses caches out, I really enjoyed them - definitely a first for me getting my geo car off the road and on some dirt - TFTC carkisser

I had a great day out today after LouLou0212 and myself picked Gabs1963 up for the airport. We headed to “Melbourne’s First” and then onto this trail as Gabs1963 has cached our her 450km radius, so she wanted some “easy numbers”. Thanks so much for placing this trail carkisser

Heading over for the Mega, stopped by for a few of these.
Left my 'H' scrawl, as a mark for this powertrail...

Thanks

We arrived in the area with a particular plan and that was to do the Dad's Mt Disappointment Driving Lesson trail. All caches were found or replaced (with the permission of the owner) Some still need the logs replaced but we ran out of supplies.
This trail was done with Hans and Linda, the jumping in and out of the car was shared, the driving was shared, lunch was had on the trail where ever we found a place that appealed to us.
Some shots were fired near one of the caches which startled the crap out of us. We did not think that you were allowed to shoot here. The roads were a mixture of good, bad and ugly. Thankfully it was dry it did try very hard to rain but all we saw was not enough to wet the car or us.
We apologise for the generic logs, this does not mean we thought any less of this series. We appreciate the effort that has gone into placing this trail and maintaining it, this is why we were more than happy to help with some maintenance.

TFTC. Our friends Jackie and Dennis (Muff1)had invited us to join them in making an assault on Mt Disappointment. We drove up on Sunday to Kilmore to join them. After putting a dent in the Mt Disappointment trail yesterday, our aim today was to finish the trail. We had an added incentive. We were close to 5000 finds and there was the pooibility we could track 200 finds for the day. The weather forecast did not look great but the weatherman was wrong . Muff1 had spoken to the CO and made arrangements to replace any caches that were missing. They will contact they CO with details of any issues we found along the way. We had a great time . We replaced 7 missing caches. We had never visited this area before and the trail gave us an appreciation of the area. Thank you carkisser & JSando for a great series.

Tftc!

#15 for today’s Mt Diss run. This took me longer than it should have. Turns out I was barking up the wrong tree. Clearly needed to pick on someone a little less my own size. TFTC

AndyB84 and myself had plans to hit the Mt Disappointment trail and today that plan was realised.

We Arrived at the first cache around 9:45am and called it a day at 4:45pm before making one final sneaky find at the servo on the way home.

I had no idea what to expect in terms of numbers. My biggest day previously was 55 so I wanted to beat that. The next goal was 120 and looking bigger was 150.

We eventually ended on 129 finds for the day, doubling AndyB84's found count in a single day.
Pretty stoked with the effort. We cracked a cold one each on number 101 for the day.

Most caches were found easily with good coordinates. Some had wet logs, one was missing a lid and there were a few DNF's near the start of the trail as well.

The road was well maintained, we brought AndyB84's ute but my Magna would have been fine on these roads.

We signed most of the logs as A & K to save time.


Thanks for the caches

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she, had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful, when
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Wow! What a day. KmanNZ and I were out to find big numbers, however I never thought I would double all my previous finds.

WE got to the first cache at around 945am and kept going through to 345pm when the rain finally hit. All in all, we managed to find 127 along this trail and grabbed a quick one on the way home at the service center.

We signed the caches A & K to save time.

I would like to thank KmanNZ for supplying the beers which we cracked on our 100th find for the day.

Thank you to carkisser & JSando for placing this series. We had a great day.

#154

The goal today was to pick up a heap up caches to build up the fav points for an upcoming Grampians trip and aim for a new gemstone badge - 120 caches in a day.
Mostly easy finds and a good size which is great to see. A few people out today on motorbikes and exploring however relatively muggle free. Nice variety of bush land with lovely views in parts.

Nice art work on the lid. Very creative.

Out finding some caches with my eldest daughter.Thanks for placing this series to find

#3121 A big day of caching with the aim to collect big numbers and collect a bunch souvenirs. The geohounds tagged along for the adventure. A cool day with the temperature floating around 7-9 degrees, but much fun had. A handful of dnfs but lots of finds. We found the coords to be pretty good, a few damp logsheets but no trouble signing. Thanks for all the effort carkisser and JSando.

Our first find at 1043 after a dnf at #34, Mrs BGF and the geohounds walked between caches here to stretch the legs after the long car trip down the freeway.

First did not find today

Didn’t find, lots of cut down trees

Found some nearby geocachers and got some help, now found

Found )

Got a day to myself so thought I would duck up here to grab a few caches. A nice spot and some great hides. TFTC

Nice, easy find. TFTC

Nice place

Found on 1 Jul 2018 at 1:23 pm.
Since today was not raining I decided to head up here to complete a couple of challenges I was working on and the whole family decided to come. This speeded up a few of the searches instead of being by myself. We only had 3 hours but managed to get just over 50 finds in and a lunch break so it worked out well.
It wasn't too busy up here today with cars passing by but a lot of dirt bikes and trailers parked everywhere. Even a couple of people getting some free firewood in the old logging areas. A couple of bushwalkers as well and even a couple of guys testing out there petrol powered remote control cars.
We had a couple of DNF's probably because of the limited time we had...if we had found nothing in a couple of minutes we moved on just so we could complete the 50 I needed today.
Amazing change of scenery from number one up into the forest section and I wanted to find more but the kids were getting bored and we also needed to get back for my wife to work in our restaurant.
Half way along the section we were doing we noticed a few logs from people earlier in the day, never caught up with them at any stage though. (Sorry about the generic log)

Found by Aussie Train Driver, 27/06/2018.
With a free afternoon today I drove East to take another bite out of the Mount Disappointment trail. In just over two hours I visited 30 cache locations and made 26 finds, with four DNF's.
The weather was overcast but pleasant and I had an enjoyable afternoon. My thanks to carkisser and JSando for placing and maintaining this series.
After a previous DNF on this cache due to logging activity I was glad to make this one a smiley. I also dropped a TB here. TFTC!

I have been meaning to do the Mt. Disappointment trail for some now but never seemed to get around to it. A couple of weeks ago, when the Parkville challenge caches started getting published I realised that I needed certain cache types and attributes to qualify...this trail provided them. This finally gave me the push I needed to go out and start the trail.

I haven't been here before so it was great to go somewhere new.

On the whole it was a successful day as I made my way to #70 with 61 finds, 7 DNF (3 of which had multiple DNFs logged) and 2 had been disabled due to missing caches.

A very pleasant way to spend a day and nice weather too. TNLN. TFTC.

This was one epic series, it had it all, easy finds, tougher finds, lots of dirt road driving, steep hills, bush bashing, open logged forest, deep dense forests and a leech or 2 to throw in the mix. Both me and TheSkype traveled from the ACT to cache in Victoria and this series certainly is one to bump up the tally which I personally believe is only for die-hard cachers. Do not bring a newbie here, it might get tough, zap their mind and they might never want to cache again. We camped at Andersons Garden campground and this was our base for the 3 days we spent caching. Thanks again pleasure to do business and explore this historic part of Victoria. TFTC. Day 2

#2562 Found at 12.00pm with the Green-martian, both visiting from Canberra. Geocached in a 4x4 Outback for over 16 hours, over 3 days. Averaged 20 finds per hour hitting 30 finds an hour between #206 to #235. Found a total of 323 caches with several DNFs. What a marvel it was finding this series. All park n grabs with the car and GPS covered in dust. Weather was warm for April. Thanks carkisser & JSando for this epic series of caches.

Easter Sunday and out on a Planetary Pursuit to earn 10 souvenirs. So what better way to obtain these by hitting this power trail. Teamed with Geo husband to make these finds. TFTC

Gotcha !!! TFTC

During a little warm-up here earlier this week I found about 65 caches in one afternoon. Today I returned for a full day effort, starting at 8am and stopping at 6:30pm having covered about 100km. Without rushing too much (all logs were signed and dated in full, caches rehidden properly, and photos taken of every GZ and logsheet) I ended up with 230+ finds for the day which is a surprising record for me .
Other than a shaky start near the residences (5 DNFs in the first 11) the rest went pretty well as I searched for them in numbered sequence from #1 to #240.
All were found easily other than #4,7,9,10,11,15,37,62,79,142 and 158.
It was nice and quiet on the trail all day - just saw 2 other cars and 2 police patrols on a mild dry sunny day. Perfect caching conditions.
Thanks for the cache and the series, carkisser and JSando.

Searching is a little trickier in this foliage.

Decided to keep driving to see if the parking situation improved and less traffic. YAy it did so back on the hunt tftc and the series sorry to sound like whingers in last logs but the hound is to stupid in traffic!

Teamed up with BPF for a run at part of this series. Made about 50 finds which is huge for me as BPF swapped between finding and driving. Thanks

Spent ages here. Hint is wrong. Look near water pipe

A big day out on the Mt Disa trail. No snakes, no trucks and not to many locals made it easy to park on the side of the road. Only downside was parking way to close to a couple of dead kangaroos. Eeew the smell was horrendous. The gps bounced around a little so most GZ were about 5m out, nothing the hint couldn't resolve. Once into the logged areas the hints became a little less reliable. Overall a great day out logging my 800th find. TFTC series, looking forward to our next day out.

Had a excited S4pphire jere as hint is gone follow GPS
