Four of many Prestons, New South Wales, Australia
By BudoTom on 01-Jun-18. Waypoint GC7QJJ9

That took a while as there were many objects to look at. 20 mins in and about to give up when it was spotted unattached to anything. I must have dislodged it in my search as I now saw what the connecting item was. Signed and replace so hopefully as it should be. Just the ants about today. TFTC

Clever hide, awesome find

Coordinates spot on . Took a few minutes to find the sneaky cache. Loved the idea very clever. Had a little difficulty opening but managed to it eventually. TFTC

Had to come back to this one after not finding it the first time. SO CLEVER! TFTC!

Couldn’t find this one

I think I may have found the original cache hide as it would have been an ideal spider lair but I expect a lid may be missing.

No luck

Spot on coords, spotted this one quickly, thanks for the placement

In the area so had a small window to find a couple of caches. Once the parking was sorted it was then the muggles. Fortunately this was spotted quickly as it could have taken a while. I suspect the camo is not as good as it once was. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Gotcha thank you

Quick find. TFTC.

Coordinates are spot on thanks for this cute camo. The cache guardian was off sick today- maybe he has corona?

While out caching I got the news about the impending lockdown so I thought let’s make the most of it and grab as many of this series as possible. Mostly out for the steps and incidental exercise really but stayed because for the most part this was an inventive series. Thanks cache owner for placing these TFTC

Second try and found it after the peak hour traffic. TFTC

BudoTom I found your cache Four of many on 1/5/21, 9:55 am. This is my find 3169 and find # 3 today. GPS coordinates spot on. After a brief search soon had CIH, with no guardian. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

The guard must of been off duty again, didn’t see him but found the cache after about 10 minutes!!!

Even after moving the camo I didn't find it.
Lucky Mark was looking in the right direction to see

This cache would've likely taken me longer if the natural camo had not fallen over and exposed the cache
I signed and returned as should be

Found quickly, not many obvious spots. But... watch the resident spider which lives right on the cache (was touching it). He is big and angry.

Quick find, lucky the guard is off duty TFTC

A nice easy find, boys were shocked that the guardian must've been real as it wasn't here today! I don't think either of them would've picked up the cache if the guardian was home, they made me do the turning as it was! TFTC

Came here for a walk/scoot as a family. An easy find by Geogirl #1. TFTC!

Actually found on the 24th of July 2019 but I must have forgotten to log it, I went out with my friend python to find these Of many caches and it was a great day for both of us

TFTC! And a great series

Resident spider still there much to my dismay lol
Found with Joshwyatt83 ArmyBrats4 and Blayke04

Found with kelr0cks, armybrats4 and blayke04. Resident spider still there, i laughed when everyone screamed

TFTC,

Counting down to the end of the year and with a bit of extra work, I will reach a massive statistic that I will never get another chance to achieve. Not there yet, after today's 24 I still need another 35 and will try to do that tomorrow. This year has been a massive year with so many achievements and reaching an average 8 caches per day would be a crown on top of everything else.

Looks like a trip to the Southern Highlands early tomorrow. Lets hope the heat doesn't arrive.

Quick find, had to move the cache Guardian so we could get the container.

This one had a nice guardian, spider, after moving him, we then replaced the full log and stamped log and replaced. Thanks to BudoTom

Great hint made for quick find today, thanks for the walk

still there. I'll need to get it a new log sheet

Good find, needs mew log sheet

Fastest find if the day but the ants! A few thousand ants had decided the cache was an ideal part of their territory so access was “tricky” for the human. Scratched my initials on the log, but this one is also overflowingly full of names. Great camo.

OCW Sensible Shoes, Little Shoes, Rainbow Bears and YolkieB signed as TRCS. TFTC.

Found with Sensible Shoes, Shoes Junior, Rainbow Bears and YolkieB. Quick find. Signed as TRCS. TFTC

TFTC. Signed as TRCS (Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes).

Found with Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes (signed as TRCS) - Sensible Shoes, Little Shoes, Shoes Junior, YolkieB and Rainbow Bears. A great day!

Super quick find thanks to the hint. Log full, just about managed to sign as TRCS (Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes)

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Quick find thanks

Log full pick proof of find thanks

Streak Day #2227 - Out this way again with Dave8153 for a quick find however log is full and needs a replacement. TFTC

This is find number: 3612
Streak Day: 1338

Found today with Snoopy1976, a quick find. Log sheet requires replacing as it is full. Thanks

Thanks to BudoTom for placing and maintaining this cache.

TFTC

This will be a copy and paste log for all Of Many caches I found today!!

Started out just to find a few caches for the day with my friend Corny! Had a good walk from about lunchtime onwards finding a handful of the caches in this series before calling it a day!

Made a start on this power trail today to help me reach my caching goal of 365 finds for the year.
An easy find.

SL TFTC

The log book is full.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Found it

There's a lot of road work in this area. I passed several muggle workers not very far from this cache so stopped and looked at all the housing development opposite while I considered the hint. I spotted something worth inspecting and keeping an eye on the muggles and positioning myself carefully between the trees I checked it out, revealing a nicely hidden cache.
SL and replaced everything then walked on.

Found with Hillbilly

With the bike we went this route to search for the caches. Most of the hiding places we found good. But there were some caches that were a bit more difficult and we had to search a bit longer.

We thank the owner for hiding , **the Moorhelmi's from Germany.**

Good work on the camo. Had to give the cache guardians some time to scurry away before we could get our hands on the cache and sign the log.

This one was a quick find. Nicely camo'd cache. Thanks!

A quick find, but the cache appear to be overrun by ants/termites. We cleaned as much as possible, but they probably will be back. TFTC

A nice quick find this afternoon on a short run after our shopping expedition. TFTC!

House/dogsitting closer to here than home, figured I’d tick off as many as possible at a leisurely pace without the extra travel time. Good co-ords (had to trust rather than question them at times), helpful hints and a variety of hides, made for an interesting trail. Of the 21 attempted (mostly due to heat and parking), claimed 18 smileys. Will return for the remaining 14 on a cooler day or when the definite MIAs (ie ones with several dnfs) are checked by the CO.

Found with cullum68 on our way to sydney to see Phil Collins concert thank you for the cache

Found with nissan 65 on a day caching before we head to homebush to see Phil Collins tonight.Thanku for the cache . Log full. Photo if required

Deep_99 and I are back again as we have run out of park n grabs in our area. We love this series as it is a easy drive down the M7 to get to and it helps both of us keep our streaks going. Have a few back logs to do, so my apologies for the copy and paste generic logs. SL #3856 on streak day #2355

quick find with Ris768, thanks BudoTom for placing these caches

From November 5th to November 30th I studied English at ILSC in Sydney. After these month I rent a car for traveling and driving to Melbourne because my return flight is from Melbourne. The plan for the weekend was to visit the Jenolan Caves. The Lucas Cave on Saturday afternoon and the Diamont&Imperial Cave on Sunday morning. After the Diamont&Imperial Cave I was going back to Sydney. Back in Sydney I found here some boxes. It was too hot to walk around and the Caches for me to difficult from the serie.
Thanks for the cache from Bonn, Germany

Having recently depleted my store of favourite points, I targeted this powertrail to earn some more. I was not prepared for the quality and variety of hides that I would encounter today. I managed to visit all of this series on foot over a period of about 4.5 hours and 20K+ steps.

Found this one in the first place I looked. Great, making up on some time I lost earlier...

TFTC BudoTom

Awesome hiding spot. Great effort. TFTC

Rapidlywild had to head to Sydney to collect a new canopy for her Triton and wanted some company, so as FFLL #1 is still off work, she decided to tag along for the ride. After dropping off the car, a walk was in order to collect a few around the area. A quick find and our time here has come to an end, TFTC

A journey to Prestons, NSW was planned last minute in order to collect the new canopy for the Ute, and as it was going to take them a couple hours to fit it, I decided to check the maps for some caches. Fortunately for me, there is a whole series of caches in this area that could keep me entertained for the time. I decided to reach out to FFLL#1 to see if she was interested in a drive north and a few caches and she agreed to come along to keep me company

After dropping the car off and checking it in, we set off on foot. No issues locating this one for us, and the canopy company just called so now its time to walk the 3.5km back to their building to collect the car

Thanks for the cache placement BudoTom, will have to come back sometime to finish off the series.

Could find!

#5382 (4 of 6 today)

After Traditionals today for my challenge streak, and I've been picking up only one or two finds a day too often lately.
So decided to hit the of Many powertrail again to satisfy both desires.
Decided to start at #1 and parked just around the corner from it in Durras Street, and took a path not marked on OSM between Brooman Street and Camden Valley Way. Easy! And my final find had me on Braidwood Drive (had a friend a decade or more back who lived on Braidwood) for the easy walk back.

Went for five in the series and one other, including two previous DNFs. And I found the lot. HUZZAH!
I'll need to come back to finish the series - probably on a day I need some finds for my calendar.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
The Caching Gods smiled on me here - probably taking pity on me after the last cache.
Found this one really quickly.

Signed, replaced and away.

TFTC and the cycle ride around Prestons on a glorious afternoon.

The hint was helpful for this one, and persistence eventually lead to the cache. TFTC

After a short search, again it was llama_boy who spotted the oddity in our environment. It seems a bit exposed searching for some of these caches but I suppose the traffic is moving too fast to notice much.

found after a little search thanks

It must be my lucky day, saw something which looked suspicious, walked up to it turned it over and there was the cache.

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

found with gm10 and btm

Found easily

Walked straight up to it

In our final week of school holidays we headed out fora days caching with the Rats.
Dad said we'll take the bikes and do a bit of bike riding... well it turned out to be a great day as we rode around the streets on a beautiful sunny day. The "many" series was alot of fun.

We finished our day with a few finds in the FTF hound series.
Thanks to all the cache owners for the fun day.

With the hidden creatures souvenirs almost wrapped up I was wondering how to get a few more finds to accumilate a few more souvenirs. Realising a few of my caching buddies had done this series I dragged the mini rats along with me as they were still on school holidays. We headed up here with the bikes for a fun riding in the sun.

The hides were alot of fun and challenging at times, the area was excellent for getting around by bikes and being midweek the muggle factor was minimal.

We finished our day coming home via Heathcote Rd where we grabbed the latest few caches in the FTF hound series.

Thanks to all the hiders for a great day out.

Only a little search required.

It was the first thing that I touched TFTC

Given the difficulty rating this was surprisingly a very quick find. Camo stood out the moment we saw it. This was the last cache needed to get our world turtle woooo.. would never had gotten the numbers if it wasn't for this trail close-ish from home. Thanks BudoTom!

With new twins in the house, I don't get a chance to get out geocaching very often these days - and I really really wanted that hidden creatures Dragon. I mean - Daenerys Targaryan can have the Iron Throne of Westeros. My ambitions are more modest. All I want is to be Mother of at least one Dragon!!! So I found Prestons on the map - and the new power trail there, and though golly gosh, this is perfect. !!!

And I made it there, all the way from north of the big bridge - without getting lost even once. And the sun was shining!!

Mr BudoTom. You certainly have put this area of Sydney on the geo-map!!! I needed 13 finds and hoped to achieve these before my leave pass ran out. I found 16 - mostly on foot.. 3 hrs walk. Did me good. And some of them were quite challenging, witty, even wacky. Missed one or two, but kept moving.

The variety of styles was impressive. For a relative newcomer, you're amazing!

Thankyou for a great day out. My Dragon salutes you.

As I was reading a few previous logs on these caches I noticed that I was not the first to use this series to complete my magic creatures challenge. Luckily I took the bike as that turned out to be the best option here, parking would have been complicated in most spots! Worked my way around pretty quickly, but didn't finish completely as I ran out of time for today. Have to do the others a different time. Enjoyed the mix of containers and hides, Nothing I hadn't seen before, but some were really good executed!

A five hour walk in company with Celtical netted the first 24 of the 'of many' series of caches plus one more. Staring at 'one of many' and completing the loop to '24 of many' then returning to the only dnf of the day '7 of many' where a more thourough search revealed what we missed on the first time around.
Having two pair of eyes was worth while as we worked our way around a variety of hides and cache sizes some cleverly hidden.
Well done to the CO for the series to date I have completed, tftc

Well we were on a mission, me to get my world turtle, & lucky1955 to snare his dragon! So that meant a long walk around the area - 5 hours to be precise. Special thanks to the CO for some really well thought out cache hides, & a few really sneaky ones. Great little series, I'm looking forward to doing the others. Cute camo. TFTC

Located at 7:45am. #767. Very neatly done. Seems innocuous enough but to a Geocacher, something does beg a closer look Спасибо для кеша! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

OCW with EverestHigh, The Bebes and JordsAU. TFTC BudoTom!

17 Jul 2018

Found ‘Four of many’ (GC7QJJ9) with EverestHigh, MaxAdventurer & The Bebes.

Today, I teamed up with EverestHigh, MaxAdventurer & The Bebes to hunt for more Hidden Creatures (and caches), as we fast approach the final week of the geocaching June / July 2018 promotion.

We hatched a plan to meet up around lunch time and drive over to Prestons to tackle to ever growing “X of Many” series, plus a number of others along the way. It was a fun afternoon out and about in the beautiful winter sunshine and cached well into darkness to pick up as many as we could.

We were pleased with the result, edging ever closer towards the Dragon and, ultimately, the World Turtle digital souvenirs. With only a few Did Not Finds, and a few we had to skip over, we ended up with more than 40 finds for the afternoon.

A good excuse to venture out in the depths of the inviting urban forest, that is Sydney at this time of year.

Thanks For The Cache BudoTom.

Caching fun with nwhat. Number #4 on the trail and #417

Found with the geo gang. I love the effort that the CO has put in to make this trail fun .TFTC

Today I took on the Prestons bike paths with geobuddies on the hunt for"to many"caches to complete the mythical creatures challenge.
It was a really enjoyable day out riding around looking for the caches, some were alot more challenging then others,we almost dnf'd a couple but mananaged to find all the hides in the end with the spot on coords the entire way to complete both the challenge and the series
Thank you BudoTom for the cache

Celebrating the senior geo-gangstas birthday with a little caching!

Today is my birthday! I got taken on a caching day with the junior geogangsta, AWTYOW, Pitman Clan and Gabstar. Best way to spend the day! TFTC

The junior geo-gangsta looked at me and I nodded when he spotted something "interesting". His instincts were right. TFTC

Wanting to push on towards a major mile stone, I came up here today with my mountain bike to knock over some caches.

Thanks for placing them!

Cheers

After my visit three weeks ago a lot new ones in the “of many” series have appeared, plus some other ones along the M5 which I can tackle now. Thanks to the various COs for the finds and the some not-finds! TFTC!

Out today with Brewmaker finding some of the caches along the Many Power Trail at Prestons and some others along the way. We parked the car at the nearby designated parking area and then headed off. Most of the caches were easy to find and accessible from or near the path. Some were very creative and most only a few took a while to uncover. But there was quite a bit of walking involved and we didn't get time to finish the series so will be back to complete that task at another time.
Read the hint, which helped with the find. I spotted it from a distance and found the little greenie. But tweezers were needed for extraction.
Signed the log and replaced it all as found. Then it was on to the next one. TFTC
