11194. Headed up to the Orange region with AngelG27, Sol de Lune and specimenX ("FASS") for a fun-filled weekend of caching. Lots of caches found, a few not found, and a lot of laughs had as we toured around over 2 full days as far north as Wellington which resulted in 124 finds for me.

Arriving in Orange around 9pm we checked into the Motel then headed out for a few quick finds while the muggles (mostly !) were indoors. This was the next find of the trip for me. To avoid too much suspicious activity in this particular location two of us jumped out and searched a couple of places and then we came up with the find. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.

Thanks The Smodges !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Stayed in the Geo-Jeep whilst two of the team jumped out to make the find as discreetly as possible at this location! Smile

29-Jul-16
Travelled to Orange from Canberra tonight with Specimen X, Sol de Lune and Fitzy_1965 for a big weekend caching. Got here around 9pm and decided to head out for a few quick caches while the muggles were inside keeping warm. Signed as FASS Smile

Second of the evening - two only hopped out to search to avoid suspicion, and it was found after frisking the wrong object first. TFTC!
 
27-Jul-16
Found it after being asked by a cop if we were alright haha
 
29-Jun-16
This cache or this location seemed very familiar, and I think we have searched without success before - although we don't seem to have logged a DNF. Again we bounced around with coords taking us this way and that but finally Mr Winglen pulled it off and we logged just before a chap came along and started working on the big green distribution box that we had been looking over a minute earlier!! TFTC.

Found at 9:41am with Nush89.

The family was on a short Easter Weekend holiday to Orange and this meant Caches!!!

Nush89 and I were keen to rack up a few along the journey and this was number 6 of 7 for caches in Orange and our second for the day after finding 'OVERDACHOOCHOO' just a short drive from here.

Unfortunately the rain came down heavily later on in the afternoon which restricted us from doing any more caches in the area.

This one was a simple find which Nush89 located. We noticed the cop shop over the road so we went about our business as quietly as possible. Signed log and returned cache into place.

The rain was slowly setting in so we moved along quickly to try and sneak in another one or two.

Thanks for the cache The Smodges

We came to Orange on our way home from Dubbo for some lunch and a couple of cache. I went to rendezvous at the park with my family and when they weren't there I popped up here for an extra cache. I looked at the right spot initially and only after searching a few more spots I came back here and spotted it. It then took a loooooong time to get the tightly stuffed log out.

Thanks The Smodges
