Hi darth trader,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 45 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

I joined a trip to Maitland with Aquilus1, dty73, Tankengine, Barb2e, Kitty Katch & Joolay. The weekends main game was to do the dogs head series, but along the way we did some old caches around Sydney and did as many Maitland caches as time allowed. The return journey was via some old caches and some challenges that may or may not be met one day.

Day 4 was the travel home day. We did start with Maitland caches and then head south to Sugarloaf mountain for some old and hard caches. Last on the list was another old Sydney cache.

Thanks.

Took some dancing and distracting of the muggles eating on the verandah, whilst Minniek stealthy sat on the bottom step “taking photos” of the entertainment. Cache was soon in hand, signed and replaced, and the show thankfully over lol TFTC


The beautiful puppy geo art up Maitland way has been tempting me for months!, so when Joolay, Minniek, Fitzy_1965 and SpecimenX started to brew plans for a trip, I knew I was in. Making a whole long weekend of it, we’ve hunted down much needed counties on Friday, diverted to Jasmers, caught up with locals at events and picked up some extra cool little trails and night caches, all the while keeping our eye on the geo art prize Smile So wonderful to have the chance to get away for some caching fun, and to catch up with some local cachers whilst we’re about. Thanks so much to everyone who has invested in these caches to make our wonderful weekend away a possibility. Thanks for the Cache.

19,138. Found as part of the Capital Crunchers Team (fitzy_1965, minniek, specimenX, nibletricecakes and Joolay) during the Canberra Invasion of Maitland region over the long weekend.

Day 4 of our invasion. Time to pack up camp, grab some breakfast, then try for as many local caches as we could get before heading off to brave the holiday traffic back towards Sydney/Goulburn. Next of the day. A nice quick find - plenty of parking on this holiday Monday morning.

Thanks darth trader !!
 
07-Oct-19
Headed to the Maitland area with fitzy_1965 & SpecimenX for an extra long weekend of caching.

Time to pack up and head home but not before picking up more of the local caches with nibletricecakes and Joolay. This one required nibletricecakes to act as distraction while I sat and gathered the cache, signed and returned....all with muggles sitting on the deck eating a late breakfast.....success!

All caches where found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned. Logs were either signed or stamped as Capital Crunchers or CC.

Found with fitzy_1965, minniek, Nibletricecakes, Joolay as part of the Canberra Invasion of Maitland and surrounds over an extra long weekend Big Grin

Last day of the invasion and we were focusing on nabbing a bag of local caches before heading home. A few muggles in attendance at this spot but minniek and Nibletricecakes made the stealthy find [^] Signed or stamped Capital Crunchers or CC to save log space.

Thanks for the hide, darth trader Cool

Its the last day of our Maitland adventure. Up here tackling the Dogs Head but also picking up caches around the area as well. Nibletricecakes and I are back in town after heading out early to get some caches before meeting up with the others. But now we are back together and on our homeward run.

Signing as Capital Crunchers for Nibletricecakes, Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Joolay and Specimen X.

With a long weekend in Canberra, FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided it was time to get away and find a bit of warmth as the cold makes its way into Canberra. We decided to head up to Maitland as neither of us had been there before for Geocaching. After finishing the Dog Head Series yesterday and a few others, we decided on a quieter day today, so we made our way out to Frying Pan.

After finishing Frying Pan, we made our way back into Maitland for some lunch and then went off for some more caches. Another quick find here.

Thanks for the cache hides darth trader Big Grin and thanks FFLL#1 for another trip out and about for some quantity AND quality caching Big Grin
 
26-May-19
Headed to Maitland with Rapidlywild to do the Dogs Head Trail. Today was day two so off to find more caches around the area.

Back in Maitland after doing a coupe of trails, we thought we would look for others around the area. Quick find at this one and very quiet area at this time of night.

Thanks for the hide darth trader
