Description
This used to lead to awesome 4X4 track that took you into the back of Mt Wilson
The track was like those South American mud tracks that u see on Telly that trucks often don't make the other end. The track has mostley dissapeared now and is closed off.

The Grumpy Old Men™ were getting impatient here, as is their wont. After much grumbling, a solution and a cache was found. Thanks ack son of hack.

Oh no! Another cache that is ALMOST 2 years unfound but not quite! Still, it was interesting looking for this one which was decorated by leaf litter and some blue feathers 
Found today with rogerw3 during our afternoon 'GCA Loop' trek from the Blue Mountains, down to Richmond and Windsor, and them back home again.
This log means that I've finished this particular power trail.
All was in good order with the geocache.

Many thanks to Acko for the hide!

Found this one today with pjmpjm on our long loop around the mountains.
This one had eluded us last time as it was missing, but there it was today in good condition and dry. Ignore the hint, it is not at the base of the tree but look higher and you will find it.
Thanks for the cache.

Unfortunately this was pjmpjm and my only DNF of the day. After checking every tree in a large radius from GZ nothing was to be found. We both concluded that the cache had been muggled.
This was reinforced by the advice of a previous finder who confirmed we did look in the right spot.

This was, unfortunately, not one of more than twenty logs that rogerw3 and I made while travelling down Bell's Line of Road this afternoon, from Bell to North Richmond. Over several hours we found mainly GCAs but also two GC traditionals.
Our main effort was to complete the 'Striving Towards Blue Mts Power Trail' in one afternoon . . . and we nearly succeeded. We found 13 of 14 and DNFed one that now seems almost certainly to have been muggled. (At the end of the day we talked to a previous finder who thinks we checked the correct place, in vain.)
This cache, No. 10, was the only cache of the series we couldn't find. Starting at the wash out and published coordinates at Mt. Irvine Road, we spiraled out more than 30 metres, searching every single tree. But alas . . .
I fell at one point and injured my hand and added a bit of blood to GZ. Nevertheless, it was all worthwhile, since we eventually discovered all the other power trail caches by the end of the afternoon.
In speaking to TC Senior on the way home, we became sure that we'd already found the correct hiding place (rogerw3 checked it as soon as we arrived) and that this cache has been muggled. We'll wait to hear from the CO . . .
Anyhow, this was a bit of exercise over half an hour or more, and made us appreciate all the more the many other finds of the afternoon . . .

On a work day shortened by a sick son, I made a quick park and grab.
In remember finding a really pretty cache on the other part of this road.
