Description
Hide to see View of Grose Valley
Finally I have found a hide that isn't Blue Mountains Nat Park. (Which , by the way is owned by the Citizens NOT the Beaurocrats).
Anyways the view is beaut and well worth the stop. Small swaps and the completed Series.

Found the old container inside the newer one...but the newer one fell apart in my hands. Have replaced with something quiet small. Not sure how many others will be coming this way for it, but I'll keep and eye on it.

Just came down from Mt Wilson because everything is too wet to stay for 2+ more days if rain expected there.
Reason is good though. This place has been destroyed by the fire. So has the cache. I found it half melted and ants making home in the logbook.
Unfortunately I didn't have a replacement cache on me but I did have stone paper and zip lock bags, so put some paper in a bag and placed between the broken lid and base.
Definitely needs maintenance.

TFTC. Cache needs some attention. log book is mouldy so I didn't open it and the container is breaking. nice view minus the wires though.
An early morning short caching trip to this part of the mountains – cache container is cracked & the log book was wet at 1 time – able to sign, many thanks - TFTC / TFTH / SL

A great day of caching from Richmond to Mt Victoria. Weather was perfect (a little hot later on) and mosty caches were in good condition. Great to see this many GCA caches around here, thanks for putting them all out!

Another in the long line of caches reluctantly snaffled on the "Grumpy Old Men's" Scavenger Hunt tour of the Blue Mountains.

The Grumps found this one easily as it was out sunbaking. We left it with a bit of stony protection. Thanks again ack son of hack.

Arrived at GZ and soon had the cache in hand.....and everywhere else for that matter. Seems like the sun has taken it's toll on the cache, so I replaced the container and hopefully all sound be good.
Thanks for the series and showing me the locations ASOH.....

Great views here. I managed to write in the soggy log book but the container now has no lid - maybe got too brittle in the sun? TFTC ack, hope you get a chance to replace the container as it's a nice spot
Found this one but it has been muggled.Still swag there but log soaked. However there are fantastic views so I hope it is replaced!

Found with Team Canary on the way back from Mt Wilson to Katoomba. Nice quick find after I opened my eyes.

Finally got around to doing this cache, thanks to pjmpjm doing the driving duties on a long loop around the Mountains.
Cache was found in good order, safe and dry.
Thanks for the cache.

Found and logged this one with Team Canary Senior during an afternoon of targetting our 'unfounds' in the upper Blue Mountains and around Lithgow.
This was the only 'drive by' in the lot, part of my effort to complete this much appreciated second power trail in our favourite part of the world. (I now only need to go back to no. 10, which had been muggled before my search a couple of weeks ago.)
Not a hard find at all, and in good condition. There's also a safe place to park alongside the road. TNLNSL.
Many thanks to Ack for another one and for the entire power trail!

I was lucky enough this afternoon to have time complete this one and therefore the series today.
This one is probably the best of the lot!
