I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

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 28 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 28 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.

Out with RoddyC while house sitting in Bathurst.
Caching to day will take us to the Orange area.

Not to day. Next!

Hatzofff and I are in Bathurst for a few weeks house sitting, and of course have time for lots of caching. Today we decided to visit Orange.

Nothing here for us to find.

Looked everywhere for it but couldn’t find it
 
I had a little time for geocaching this icy cold morning. I even had icy droplets of rain on my jacket at one point. I wasn't brave enough to go too far from the car for fear of freezing to death so only grabbed a few of the Gnoo Blas caches today. That and the road works got me confused.

We ended up looking at 6 trees near GZ, but had to DNF. Thanks anyway.

The spot is there but the cache is gone.... Sad

Went to the obvious spot and could not find it. Went as far as looking at old photos, there is no cache behind the hide that we could see.

Hi there Squick.

This is the 7th of 11 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

Too many school kids doing cross country/orienteering, so we gave up and moved on.

As the TRI's were on today we wondered if we would be able
to go for any caches today, all good and dry. TFTC

Easily found - maybe a bit too easy. We covered it?

11210. 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.

An early start and after a quick stop for brekkie we arrived at the GB loop to get some big-ish numbers early on today. Interesting bit of motoring history around here. Quick find at GZ which is always good on a caching run like today. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.

Thanks again Squick !! Enjoying this little series !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Found as part of an Orange and surrounds geomission with fitzy_1965, AngelG27 & Sol de Lune (signed as FASS to save time & space Big Grin) Top weather, great company and lots of laughs meant for an epic weekend of caching all round! Big GrinCoolBig Grin

Another quick nab for us here.

Thanks for the hide, Squick Smile

Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX, Sol de Lune and I (logged as "FASS") headed from Canberra to Orange and surrounds for a caching blitz over the 30-31 July weekend. We logged around 1000kms in the Geo-Jeep, selecting those caches that Fitzy had not previously found. I scored around 130 caches for the trip. The visit was characterised by blue skies, very green paddocks, lots of water off and on the road, a fair amount of mud, and good company! Still plenty of caches to collect and scenic spots to explore on a return trip. Thanks to my fellow travellers for a fun weekend, and the COs for all their efforts in putting out and maintaining the caches.

14th for the day at 0840 (19th for the trip). We were quite warm by now and in the groove of collecting these caches. Found in accordance with the hint. Thanks Squick for this nice series!

Nice quick & easy find while taking a break in Orange on my trip from Sydney to Mumbil. I really wanted to complete this power trail which I'd discovered while doing some GC research before heading off in this trip. Great series - loved it! TFTC Smile

Orange trip April 2016. The day started off wet and stayed wet, but I had a mission. On my way back to town I picked up two caches then waited for a break in the weather. When it had dried enough to get the bike out I started my lap of the circuit. 19/20 found one wet and un loggable. It was great to learn about this old facility.

Thanks.

Found it Smile. TFTH. SL. Back in car, missed a few caches along the beginning of this road, couldn't be bothered chasing them after walking the length of that other road and back.

Ask me if you want to know what name I **signed the log book** transferring finds to this new caching name. Was OCW and as part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch. TFTC.
 
16-Apr-16
I found this cache jointly with TOC and now I have my own account I am claiming my fair share of the finds. I can cache on my own now. As I didn't have a caching name so there's no log book for me. Thank you for the hide.
 
29-Mar-16
This was an interesting series to look for. Most were found but a few we let go when it was raining too much.
This cache was an easy find and after the log was duly signed the cache was replaced where it had been found. Thank you for bringing us to this area of historical interest and thank you for placing a nice series around here.

My third day off an Easter camp caching holiday at Carcoar dam. Today I had gone towards Orange for a couple of power trails and the various caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache.

While staying in Bathurst we came over to Orange to do a number of caches. Due to the number completed I am doing a generic comments. This I hope does not offend the CO's, had a great time locating all. TFTC

I had some time in the morning so decided to have a go a the Gnoo series, which was pretty good, a few caches missing or needed maint. but on the whole good.

After having a really slack month only found two so far this month, Decided a little road trip was in order to rectify the situation. So rumbled down te thin black line early morning heading down to the Big Smoke and then West to Lithgow, Mudgee, Gulgong, Wellington, Orange then Bathurst heading home. Nice Cache, Thanks for the Adventure

Thanks for the great cache Squick(8D)

Found this cache while heading home along this last stretch of the Gnoo Bas series after being in Orange for the weekend on a Vintage car Rally. We have been quite pleased with the number of the series that we have found in the spare time that the rally allowed us to have. Next time in Orange will try and get the rest.
Thanks Squick for all the fabulous hides that you have placed.
