Hi Squick,

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.

Anable to find

On Hands and knees and still can’t find it. Will have to come back. Must be kissing something!

fitzy_1965, albida33 & I headed out for a long weekend away. Basing ourselves at Macquarie Woods, we ended up visiting Orange, Parkes, Dubbo and lots of towns inbetween.

Day 3 saw us pack up camp early, finish the caches in the Woods then into Orange before heading home.

Unfortunately we had no luck here today.

Too difficult to find it

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.

Perseverance pays off when you trust your instincts.

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

Took a bit of searching but found it. Now to get it out.

TFTC, Squick.

Looked everywhere but couldn’t find.

Found after a lengthy search while riding the track around the lake. TFTC

Too good for us. Spent ages at this one. Looked and felt from every angle. Feeling disappointed we’ve come up empty, especially given it was found yesterday.

Having completed almost the whole track, we sat down for a wrap and a drink at the cafe by the lake.
Once done, and after having noted that #15 was disabled, and probably should have been archived, we headed to this the last one in the series.
We searched thorougly along the whole structure, but had no luck until finally we put a hand in a place where we thought we had looked already.
As a summary, it had been a nice walk and a nice track. Just a pity that the cache owner seems to have lost interest in maintaining it. Maybe someone else could adopt it and perform some TLC of the track.

Nice hide! Found it with the family, grandpa was the one to spot it.

Yay, finally found it!!!! Started getting really frustrated and the kids saying it must be gone!! Had to resort to photos from 2015 to try and help with still no luck, but when we finally got the husband/dad away from the BlackBerry bush, (with a hat full of berries) he came through with the goods!! Very satisfying end to a nice day of geocaching!! TFTC

Looked easy but took me a while to find the cache. All was good in the end.

Great spot. TFTC

Last one in this series - the kids were keen for a paddle and I suspected if we didn’t get out today Christmas would eat all our time. Weather was perfect, there weren’t too many people and I could find some more caches. Hoped to find some butterflies as well - small grass-yellow and imperial hairstreak were added to the trip list, Did the lake circuit with oldest GeoSon while he played Pokémon and then did the last few by myself. Searched briefly for two that have not been found for a while but the rest were all quickly found.
This was the last attempted and as I approached the structure thought this could take a while. However, found in the first place I put my hand and so was quickly signed and on my way.
Will hopefully get the rest in this series tomorrow when everyone is comatose after Christmas lunch (I plan to go next to the lake go to Canobolas to chase more butterflies). TFTC Squick

Took a bit of time, but found ok. Not so magnetic, though. TFTC!

Found

Found! TFTC!

Tftc - easy find

Great spot! Thanks for the cache!

Bigger than we thought it would be.

Found by geogroping. The ends a lovely circuit of caching and cycling. Good exercise for us seniors. TFTC and bringing us to this lovely area.

Took a little while to find, thinking more along the lines of small rather than extra small. TFTC!

TFTC

Tftc has to look a previous logs to figure this one out

So many options here but ran out of time.

Camped at Macquarie Woods. Out today for a walk around the lake. Quick find. TFTC.

Almost over thought this one again. But didn't... TFTC. It gave us the opportunity to explore

Didn't spend too much time looking due to previous DNF's

Didn't find this one today look in every possible spot will try again another day

On a Easter break with family, finally had a stop-over in Orange. Checked the whole bridge and didn't have a luck.

In Orange overnight for work and decided to introduce some young cousins who live locally to the world of caching. A great morning with not a single DNF. Thanks to all the cache owners in town.

This was a quick find. TNLN TFTC

A great day to be out caching, thanks for bringing me to this lovely area Squick!

Bathurst to Orange
We have set up camp at the showground overnight. We completed the lake walk in the morning then onto the Gnoo Blast in the afternoon, finishing with a tiki tour of the country side before heading home.
Thanks for placing this cache Squick

11228. 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.

After finishing the GB Loop we headed over to do the Lake Walk/Ride Loop. After dropping off the car we walked the rest of the series. Quick find at GZ after a short out of order walk. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.

Thanks again Squick !! Another enjoyable 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) Top weather, great company and lots of laughs meant for an epic weekend of caching all round!

Did this one a little out of order but it was a quick nab by fitzy for us here [^]

Thanks for the hide, Squick

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.

34th for the day at 1005 (39th for the trip). Time to embark on another series by Squick. We did this one out of order, as it was near to #7. A quick find again. Thanks Squick for the series - favourite point for the series and the lovely (somewhat squishy) walk around this little gem of a lake!

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.

Quick find tftc

Scary stuff. TFTC

Hard one for us! - FxF.

On ya knees TFTC

I'm in Orange for a Couple of days and had some time to grab a few caches , hello from Canberra
Decided to get out for a walk and after grabbing the first few in the car , then on foot for the section around the lake, nice series

Found once correct side was searched.
TFTC Squick
After a walk in Mount Canobolas Reserve we stopped at Lake Canobolas and collected as many caches we could find whilst doing the circuit walk.

Perfect for the kids

Quick find , glad it was dry. TFTC

This was our last one in the park. Thanks Squick.

A great place to rest run or cycle, fish or whatever. Thanks Squick for this cache. Last one thanks again for the series.

Quickly found. Tftc

I made it back across the suspension bridge from #5 and detoured to find #16
I'm feeling a lot warmer now thanks to all the strolling

Each cache find gives me a warm inner glow too

TFTC

We seem to have been following IF around for this series.
Many thanks to Squick - it's been fun and a great addition to our Orange visit.

Went to this one, then realise what the time was so had a very quick look for the prize without luck before going to get the geokid from school. Will attempt it again soon.

So easy ... But took me ages to find it

Quick find on a pleasant walk
SL TFTC

Brought my bike up from Canberra for a couple of days in Orange with my wife, and after riding the loop around the old race track, I headed over to give this one a go. A few drive bys to start with, but once at number 5, I hit this trail. Completed it in a little over an hour and all though I DNF'd number 9....all was good.

Enjoyed this ride a little more than the the race track, but only because of the views over the water and wildlife/bird life spotted while out there. A pleasant way to spend a bit of time......

Thanks Squick...another good fun series that I hope is around for a while. Fav point added for these ones as well.

Nice spot for caches.

Nice spot for caches.

No muggles would find this

#2150 got it. Thanks

I found this one on the way back from the suspension bridge. I inadvertently dislodged the cache as I was searching for it and it was a while before I noticed it lying on the ground. All good in the end though. SL TFTC

Gotcha Tftc

A great spot and an easy find.
Thanks.

Tftc, nice hide

Tft, nice hide.

Tgtc

no luck with the last one.
Maybe we should try after a sunny week.
So it is not that muddy.

16:38. Logged it with Cachebox!

Sprung by a muggle lying down in the mud on a picnic rug reaching under the relevant object. Told him I had dropped my bracelet and he seemed to want to get away from us as fast as possible. Can't think why. Thanks for an exciting time!

Two people standing a looking at an uninspiring structure and one lying full length on a red rug. Had to look like we had escaped from Bloomfield. But a find is a find no matter what the muggles think. It was no day for walking anyway. Thanks Squick.

After tackling the Gnoo Blas series we thought that we would follow up with the Lake Walk/Ride set combined with a visit to the Pinnacle. Once again some enjoyable walks on another great autumn day. Thanks Squick for the effort you have put into setting up these two caching series. We are lodging a favourite here on behalf of the series.

Geo dad was straight on to this one. Thankyou for a great arvo, we had a ball. We still have to find #13, it was getting a bit dark and to many tree bases to search. Will go back and get it another day.

Had us lying around to find this one. Nice hide Easy find TFTC

Find #16 of 16. We had a great day out. Enjoyed the the walk, especially the shady trees and the occasional breeze. It was a warm day. Thanks Squick for this set of caches.

Find #16 for a perfect score for the series. Giving this a favourite on behalf of the series. A pleasant day out with friends and some gentle exercise as we walked around the lake. I'm glad it wasn't in the really hot weather. TFTC.

This was another case of being glad to have a few in our group to search out all the possibilities and we eventually located the cache.
TFTC Squick and thank you for a very enjoyable day's caching

I found and logged this cache during a trip through the central west with my father Mr MR. He has encouraged me to log my finds on line. SL TFTC

Having forgotten to do cache #5 in this series, this was the last of those in the vicinity of the lake we did today. It blends in well but, luckily, I spotted it straightaway. Nice one, thank you Squick.

9066 caches found

out to finish what we started yesterday
