#22652. Didn't take long to find the cache, which is excellent condition. TFTC.

The plastic bag that surrounded the container has kept it in mint condition. Getting near the end of this series, and the end of our caching day. TFTC.

Quick park and grab. TFTC

Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. Cache container cracked so WW replaced with a new one the same. TFTC

#6175- Now these are my kind of mysteries. Ones which almost solve themselves. Having read the DNF’s prior I didn’t hold much hope, but it was quick and easy. The container lid was broken and leaking, so having a spare the same in the car, I replaced it for the CO, whose caches we always enjoy. Found with thomo31 while on our way to Peel. Thanks

No luck for us today

Another mystery solved! TFTC. It was the race of the goekids! Youngest one Won!

An easy find on a day where it barely rained.

Tftc and the puzzle, cache lid cracked so put it in a heavy duty Ziploc .

Had to stand on an ants nest while beating the spiders off. Got the smiley tho .
Day 2 of our geo tour from Bathurst.
Taking a drive on the road less traveled today. Expecting some great scenery and plenty of caches.
Thanks to everyone involved in creating caches and trails for us to enjoy.

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Bathurst for a 9 day holiday, camping in our Jayco Swan Outback Camper Trailer at the Bathurst NRMA Big4 Caravan Park, and plan to collect some caches & Adventure Labs in the Bathurst and surrounding areas.

Today we went on a cache collecting loop drive up Sofala Road, then along Pymonts Lane, and returning to Bathurst via Limekilns Road & Marsden Lane. Took a slight detour, off Sofala Road, for an interesting visit to Peel Cemetery. Finished the day with a few finds around the Kelso area. This was the 16th of 30 finds for the day (day 4), and 66th find of the holiday.

Another puzzle solved by the family's chief puzzle solver before leaving home, and a nice quick find at GZ today. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Thanks Alwyn255 & Becon4046 for the puzzle & cache.

Day 3
With the COVID19 restrictions lifting, we decided to head to the Bathurst area this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild. Our intention was to attack the TRLT trail and others around the area.
We had a great four days, only a few DNF’s but mostly smiley's, and have left plenty for another adventure. Lovely area to cache in and we look forward to coming back for some more fun and laughs.

Had solved a heap of puzzles prior to our trip up to Bathurst, what else is there to do during lock down. It was nice to be able to finally pick them up.

Thanks for the hide and puzzle Becon4046 & Alwyn255 and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

With COVID19 locking everyone down for so long, a MUCH overdue geocaching mission was welcomed. FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided to head towards Bathurst and attack some of the TRLT caches and see how far we can go. Spoke to a few of the CO's prior to heading up to see if we could assist with any maintenance that was required, so we went prepared with some camo containers and some fresh log books. We had a wonderful weekend stretching the legs and enjoying the country side.

Solved a heap of puzzles by Becon4046 & Alwyn255 before heading towards Bathurst. Its great to be able to turn a large number of these solved puzzles into smilie faces

Thanks for the hide becon4046 And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

We are enabling our caches as travel is now allowed. Please remember that Covid-19 lives for up to 3 days on plastic surfaces. Keep yourself and others safe by using hand sanitiser or gloves.

We are shutting down our caches while the Coronavirus lock-down is in place. We want to protect every finder as current information indicates that the virus can linger on plastic surfaces for up to 9 days. Many caches are near people's homes and we cannot encourage anyone to spread this virus.
Stay safe and heed the doctors advice to stay home if you can.

Day 3 in Mudgee and our last. Today was for picking up the middle sectioon of the TRLT series before moving on to Bathurst. A more enjoyable day as the wind had eased and this section of the road has been graded. A long day as we had to get to Sofala as this will be the end point from Bathurst.

Having based ourselves in Bathurst we enjoyed caching around the locality. So green now after the recent rain and we loved the scenery and history at many of the caches. This was one we targetted and found. Nice hide. Thanks to becon4046 for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

A quick and easy find. Cheers

We are spending some time in and around Bathurst. A nice place to be, a few caches here and there, and a wee bit of driving fun too!

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Staying in Bathurst for two nights and our main day is made of two drives outside of Bathurst. Thanks to all the COs for placing the caches and showing us around your region.

Caching today in the Bathurst district while visiting the area. Due to the number of caches found, I am doing a generic log. All caches were great to find , some took a while to find and others were quick to locate. Thank you CO's for placing these caches. TFTC

Aw c'mon !!
Even I can solve this one
Hows about some toughies

TFTC on me way to Bathurst today

Don't have one of the readers necessary so invited my son in Calgary to get in on the fun. He solved the puzzle for me and now we're picking up the result. Thanks!

Caching with oldmorty and marj01.
(Log signed OMF to save space).
Thanks Becon4046 & Alwyn255 for placing this cache for us to find.

OCW frazerdaze and marj01. House sitting at White Rock for a week has provided an opportunity to do some geocaching runs around Bathurst - mainly TRLT series indispersed with a number of trads and puzzle caches. During the day we saw lovely scenery, lots of sheep and cattle, a few foxes and one deer in the forestry area. We even encountered fire persons doing a burn off which included two of the caches we were chasing. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment. For expediency all logs were signed OMF.

On a big weekend caching with oldmorty and Frazeydaze and logs have signed OMF.
Would like to thank all cache owners, for making and maintaining the caches.

Out on a caching roadtrip for a few day over the holidays I stopped in here to look and find this hide.
It sure has been a really enjoyable scenic country drive.
With so many finds I appoligise for my repeated logs.
Thanks to all the CO for placing their caches along the way

After overnighting in Bathurst, we are looking at some of the TRLT series today.

Good one all round.

Loved these puzzles in the area. Worked out as many as we could but doubt we will have time to look for them all but we will do our best. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.

Don't think we parked in the best place but the cache was soon located. Thanks for its placing.

Day Two of my Bathurst run. Collecting some pre solved puzzles and traditionals on the route. Gorgeous fresh morning!

#1851 I had plans to go somewhere else this morning with the intention of knocking of a few more hide dates & hide months which I had plugged into the GPSr but then the call from alnic39 first for a puzzle to be solved then did I want to come. Always fun with adlib caching. My GPSr came preloaded with caches but they are only trads and the newest logs are from March 2017 so that is much so have to follow alnic39 only a few times did I have coords so I had to follow Al around then at the end had to get a list of the caches we ended up doing.

This was the 19th find for the day & it was another solved the puzzle from a few nights ago to add to the list of solved caches to get while in the area today. A nice quick discovery

We signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Alwyn255 & Becon4046

A range of interesting puzzles out there to be solved and I'm looking forward to hiding some of my own. The caches I found today were easy enough with the help of my partner. Thanks for the caches

Day 2 of a 4 day georoadtrip with Miz Wacket and the geohounds - after staying the night in Millthorpe we are heading to Queanbeyan today.
A quick solve and a quick cache grab. Thanks for the cache Becon4046 & Alwyn255

Found as part of a weekend away with Hoojar. We headed up towards Gulgong the first night and camped near the start/ end of TRLT (@ -5 degrees ). The next day we made it through some nice historic places and great rolling countryside to finish up at Sunny Corner after a feed in Bathurst. The next day a few more finds before we headed home. Plenty of roadkill spotted, not many cars and not too much trouble at each cache. Thanks to all those cache hiders .

The opportunity finally arose that Steeba and I both had a free weekend to go caching. We quickly settled upon the northern half of The Road Less Traveled series. We drove to Gulgong via Mudgee after work on Friday, camping just before midnight at the suggested TSR nearby.

Saturday we made our way via the caching trail, and the odd additional cache, to Bathurst for dinner, then back onto the trail to Sunny Corner where we again camped for the evening.

Sunday we turned our heads for home, via a few additional cache stops in Portland and Wallerawang.

A fantastic weekend away, with excellent country to be seen and company to be had. We enjoyed the caches that we found.

Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!

Cheers

Found on our second day caching around Bathurst on our Gold Rush road trip! We drove up the TRLT today.

Find #1479
With our 1500th cache milestone in sight, we set off on a caching day up into this beautiful region, driving through Palmers Oakey, Dark Corner and Sunny corner. We managed 48 finds for the day, only one DNF. Starting the day at -2 degrees and thick fog, it turned into a ripper of a day, never really getting above 8 degrees, but nice in the sun!
Spotting the likely area, we searched, it wasn't long before a glint of blue betrayed the hide.... All nice and dry. TFTC becon4046

Found with Justjessie who solved the puzzle, TFTC.

Found with O319 on our winter long weekend get away. TFTC!

A last minute plan saw Fitzy_1965 and I heading off to make another attack on the TRLT series and whatever other caches we could nab on the way Lots of laughs and perfect weather made for an all round enjoyable day cruising around the countryside caching with over a 100+ caches in the bag!

Another in the series I had solved ages ago. Easily solved using a smart tool. Swung by and made the easy find on the way back to Canberra [^]

Thanks for the puzzle & hide, becon4046

We had pre-solved a lot of puzzles for this region so they were the main aim for the trip. Quite a number of nice Trads and Multis thrown in as well to make up a great weekend's caching !

Thanks again becon4046 !!

Encountered a lost sheep on the road enroute to this one, went to three nearby farms before I found someone home who may be able to help it but it was gone by the time I went back past - hopefully it found its way! Still managed to get the cache.

Our biggest cache since arriving today. I spotted it but kept mum until MummyPenny arrived to see it too. A Quick Retrieval followed. Thanks again becon4046.

An afternoon touring the outskirts of Bathurst finding solved Mystery Caches.

A final cache for the day. It was a short walk from a safe parking spot for an easy find after an instant solve.

TFTC.

We discovered all those many a couple of days ago.

We have solved all the interesting mysteries before we started our trip to the Mid Western Region of NSW.

Day 1

We started the day in Meadow Flat, followed by Sunny Corner and Dark Corner past Palmers Oakley.
We loved the hilly nature along many peaceful Gravel roads. Many smilies were forming on our map.
We finished the day in Bathurst.

Day 2

We started all fresh again in the morning. Leaving Bathurst, we were able to get going about faster along the sealed road.
We reached Sofala at around lunch time. We couldn't believe that about 40,000 used to live here. It really seemed that the city stopped developing in around the 1850's..
We continued towards Hills End and Windeyer through dry grassy land in 47 degrees heat.
We spend such a beautiful night here in Windeyer in the caravan park. We booked one of the train accomodation where you got to stay in the train back in time. What a great experience. We really liked Windeyer as it seemed so far away from all the city rush. Te locals were very welcoming and were happy to see us in the pub next door for dinner.
What a great community living were it seems like everyone knows everyone.

Day 3

We left Windeyer after a big breakfast. We travelled along Hills End Road until we reached the turn towards another Gravel road. There wer many animals to watch and it got even hotter and hotter.
This day ended in Mudgee.

Day 4

We took a look at Mudgee city today were we searched for a couple of caches and ten continued towards Rylstone.
After we continued to the Wollemi National Park which a good friend recommended us to go. Here we climbed on the top of the mountain and simply enjoyed the stunning view and the tranquil nature.
After, we traveled towards Kandos, Capertee, Cullen Bullen, Portland and Wallerawang back home to Sydney.

We hereby would like to thank all owners for this great interesting tour. We got to see many historical places and sometimes felt like as if we were living back in the the 1850's, which is a good thing.

Thanks

Out today with Paul the Hippy. Thanks hippy for driving me around grabbing these caches. We had a great day, even when I got a little grumpy at the end of the day. Woke up after spending the night at medow flats. Had a lovely time finding the ones towards Sunny corner. we even went for a walk and grabbed a few which werent on the series. Got to sunny corner and checked out the old tennis court and dance hall.
After sunny corner we continued to dark corner (great with names out here). Visited acouple of cemeteries and continued down the road until it turned dirt. This was our favourite section oof the series as no cars and felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.
Past Mount horrible we went, thinking why is this called horrible and then onto the tar again. Completed a few puzzles and then back on the series.
Following the black top we went, here the pull offs were better then the second section of the series. Loved the town of Peel, where we grabbed a puzzle and acouple in this series. Got to wattle flat and was exhausted. Had fun with the blackberries in the dead center (NOT). Finally made our way to sofala. Lots of history here and visited another cemetery for a puzzle. Thanks for all the caches, lots of hard work went into these and really enjoyed them. Cheers mr_roo

A find made with Mr Roo, on a days travelling through the area doing a few caches on a series known as the road less travelled, which soon became a busy highway of a lot of traffic. TFTC TNLN

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there becon4046. We found your cache "Bar code" at 10:45:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11980.
[Blue]
Today was "Puzzle Day" With all the rain lately we have spent lots of time in the caravan solving puzzles. As this was our last day in Bathurst we just had to go out and log all the ones we have solved - - we have been up and down this road so many times in the last week the car almost knows where to stop all on its own.

Today we ended up logging 18 and (DNF'd 3), although not all the finds were puzzles.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Really enjoy doing these puzzles and then going on the hunt to find the caches and claim a smiley. TFTC.

Today was the day to complete my biggest cache run to date. From Mudgee to Gulgong and then follow The Road Less Traveled series and the surrounding caches. I started nice and early at 7:30am, and didn't finish until 11 at night! On the way I saw plenty of lizards, the first snake of the season and smelt many rotting road kill during the day, and at night I had the live kangaroos, wombats, possums and probably all the flying insects banging into my head when I had the torch on.
Over all the experience was worth it and great big thank you to the CO's who put all of the caches out there.

Reperio at 1315.

As I was staying at Mount Victoria for the weekend, I had one day free to do a spot of caching. It was suggested by more than one person (my wife included) that I should visit the TRLT series...so I made a plan to try and find as many of them as I could today. As I was making good time, I noticed a few puzzles in the area, and so pulled over and set about solving the simpler ones. Glad I did this one first to avoid any doubling back.

Gratias becon4046.

With Rats and the mini rats wanting to use the upcoming Mega as a significant milestone we were starting to look around for some quick numbers when this powertrail popped up. The timing couldn’t have been better and plans were soon hatched for a trip out west.

Teaming up with Mizmaz we had a comfortable 2 day drive through some spectacular countryside and under perfect weather we found this cache and many of the other caches that neighbour this new powertrail.

Thanks for the cache

The mini rats have officially completed our first powertrail. Helping Mizmaz and the Rats we went in search of some quick numbers. We had a lot of fun finding the caches and camping along the way, except for the cold overnight temps in Sofala.

We didn’t sign all the logs as we are using the Melbourne Mega as our 1000th find, but we did enjoy the experience and the beautiful country side. Thanks for the caches and to everyone that hid them.

Bonus detour drive-by while doing the TRLT powertrail. Normally don’t include puzzles while on roadtrips with a specific agenda but these were easy enough to do at home and come prepared. Will include a few more in the series when I head to Bathurst end of next month.

Winter weekend in Bathurst and Surrounds with Sol de Lune. With the puzzles solved we headed out along the B road to collect them. A nice simple roadside stop.

Thanks.
