Dnf with pennymonkey1

Dnf with kiz9999

Today we wanted to continue with this series, which we started on a previous visit to Coffs Harbour, so we went out caching with twista747 who lives in the local area. Of the 16 caches left in the series for us to find, we were successful with most, but had to DNF 3 and did not bother to look for one, which had too many DNF logs for it to be of interest. It was disappointing not to be able to complete the series.
Individual info had been added to some of the logs where it is appropriate.

This was another one that proved to be elusive and stay hidden from us.

Thanks go to brad1987 for the series.

Did not find

While we were in Coffs for the week we thought that we would try to smash this power trail out with geohubby, geokid and fellow cachers, we figured that we better get a start on it and with geokid we thought that we would need two days to get through it.

We weren't sure if we would find this one due the few DNFs from previous cachers, and warnings of a damaged container. But we were unable to find any traces of this one so we moved on.

While away in Coffs Harbour, we thought we would give this power trail a kick start and see how many we could cross off the list. We solved the coordinates for the two mystery caches and plugged all 24 into the GPS.

We headed to the beach, and thought we would start at the southern end to work our way back up to Coffs.

After a few DNF's the desire to keep searching was waning. A found log made us hopeful for the find, although reading the actual log the container seemed to be MIA. Did search for around 15 minutes or so and couldn't find the remnants of a cache container.

Hopefully the owner we perform some maintenance for this series.

We would never have visited the lovely beach had it not been for this cache.

TFTC.

Found were cache should have been but cache is mia
Took a picture instead

Just returned from my holiday and catching up on the logs from my fantastic trip. Container missing. Found attachments and forwarded pix to CO.

Looked for abit but didn't find

TFTC and the series. Generic log used. Returned today to finish of this series. I parked at the south end and trecked up the beach until cutting across the bush to #15 and then made my way south. These last 10 caches were certainly harder than the first 14. The track steadily got worse and practically disappeared around #21. One DNF at #22 despite over 30 mins searching. I found 4 caches on the ground and replaced them best I could near GZ. One cache was different to the rest and was buried beneath sand and covered with a log.

Yup. Another one just like the other one .. tftc

Yewwwww got it nice grassy setting

Took Nothing Left nothing Slgned Log

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.

17 found so far. TFTC from Germany

Could not find

Like other logs here, this will be a generic log for the entire series.
We started the day at 930am on the Sunday of the June long weekend, with the intension of finding all 22 today. The day didn’t start out too well as we couldn’t find #1. Grrr. Went strait to #3 and not knowing what exactly we were looking for, we went on and found a few more and realised the caches were the same. Co-ords were all spot on and loved the trail. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere with the occasional beautiful ocean view. Oh and the occasional plane to remind us where right next to the airport runway. I was surprised to find not 1 spider web and no snakes today. Lol. We did however find a well camouflaged lizard in a tree we were looking in. Got a fright when I saw him. Would have been about 2ft long. Found all caches ok in a roundabout 5 min time frame, except #23. We looked and looked as you can image, but finding nothing. Checked logs and found the last 4 were dnf’s. Oh well, called our friends to pick us up as we were exhausted. It was 3pm at this stage, long day but had a great day geocaching. Dropped us back at our car and deciding to go back to #1 and find it, which we did. So a great day with 21 finds and 1 dnf. Awesome series and TFTC’s !!

We went out for the day, learning the ropes with Mystery Sleuth. Gorgeous day for a dunes / beach walk, searching for caches.
No muggles around, but plenty of thorns attached themselves to our socks!

TFTC, lovely day had by all!

Out with Got It Good who were visiting Coffs Harbour for the weekend and learning about geocaching.

This will be a generic log for the series with a few exceptions. This was a lovely enjoyable walk with finding a geocache every few hundred meters or so and with it being like that before you knew it you were at the end. Most were fairly quick and easy to find exept a few of them.

After finishing the series we walked back along the beach and the beach walk felt like it went on forever and I was warn out. But it was a great day out and we all had fun in the sun.

Find:322

Thanks for the series Brad187

Fourth find on our little adventure, TFTC

We are from Sweden visiting family and frinds in Coffs. Found it on a very rainy walk on the beach. Sorry it's just a photologg but we couldn't do better in the rain.

We had been wanting to do this series for a while but last time we were in the area a couple were disabled and the puzzle in #2 pointed to one of the traditionals. We had a bit of spare time this afternoon and headed off. It was a hot but pleasant walk. It took us a little to get our eye in for the type and style of hide but after that most came out OK as we generally found the co ords good but a couple took a little longer. Some of the logs towards the end of the trail were a touch damp and one had a couple of drops of water which we drained out. We saw a number of black cockatoos and goanna on our way. We DNF'd the last traditional as per the last couple of finders but made it to the final. A fav pt for the series. TFTC.

Find No: 4988. Visiting from Newcastle, staying in Woolgoolga, Back Beach this morning for a body surf, into Coffs this arvo to have a look at some missed ones and some new ones, thanks for the cache brad1987!!

Found during a very windy afternoon on a walk in from Boambee Creek. Completed the north half of the series last year and now have knocked off the southern quarter. Plenty of good camping spots passed, if I could only get the geo-crew to survive with a few less over-night comforts. Many thanks brad1987

Thanks for the cach! Number 141

Completed Maintenance on the entire trail with summerr123. Replaced all containers and logs as the last containers didn't hold up to the weather. You are now looking for camod bison tubes.

We walked along this track finding the Caches quite quickly. The Caches were all, almost right at the CoOrds.
It was a warm day so it was a nice relief when we emerged at the Southern End of the trail. Then we went Inland once more for the Final Cache before setting out on the 6km Beach Walk back to the car park.
Thanks to brad1987 to setting up this trail.

Down to #20 on me second day of Boambee Beach strolling
Despite the overnight drizzle and a gloomy start to the day, it was looking more and more like I need not have packed the raincoat

TFTC

We had seen this power trail appear on a previous visit to Coffs and have been itching to do it since then.

Our Geocaching Daughter & her Geocaching Partner residents of Coffs were also itching to do them but I had made them promise they would wait for us so we could do them together.

We now had our opportunity as we had been to Sydney for our Church Conference and planned to make the morning available on the way back to knock these over.

What was more exciting for us is that our Daughters partner has a 4WD so we planned to attack them from the beach. We knew that it would mean we would have to cross more vegetation but the thrill of beach driving overcame that.

This will be a generic log with a few side notes.

We had an absolute ball going for & finding all these caches even with the spiky plants and spiky seeds that attached themselves to us in the hundreds.

Thanks Brad1987 for a fantastic trail on this beautiful beach!!!!

After my time out here last night I was half thinking about just leaving these and maybe doing them on another trip. But the pull to complete what was still here was just a little to strong.

So 7am I was in the parking lot down this end of the trail and the weather while very grey seemed ok. I set out along the beach starting at #19 and working my way back towards the car. Somewhere around #21 the sound of the waves gave way to the pitter patter of rain drops on the leaves.

Needless to say by the time I had found the rest and returned to the car I was dripping wet. Luckily I was slightly prepared for this and was soon back to the hotel and a nice warm shower before heading off for the drive to Armidale today.

We set up camp at Coffs Harbour & this morning we wamted to takle the Beach walk. We had pprass drop hubby off at #24 & I started walking from #17.
The coords were all great which made for mostly easy finds, I found #17 the toughest but saying this we had a DNF on #1.
This was a pleasant walk amongst the sand dunes which we completed one way in just over 2 hours.
#24 will get a favourite for the track
Thanks for placing this cache brad1987

Found with earthly65 who revisited the first half with me as she had already done it...parked a vehicle at each end of the trail we found was the best way to go...enjoyed the shady walk through this trail...a fave point for the trail...thanks brad1987

Four to go we are feeling a little tired now but very enjoyable the same

It was getting late in the day so I only really had time to grab some of these. I will definitely re-visit this series next time I am visiting Sawtell. I definitely recommend starting from Boambee and crossing the walkway attached to the rail bridge.

Ok that is the 20's out of the way. I decided I better turn around and head for Boambee before it got too dark. The walk back down the beach was very pleasant and a lot of people had crossed the bridge to enjoy the beach and the creek in the late arvo.

Thanks for the cache brad1987. Cheers!!

Only three to go after this one. This has been a long but great walk!

Thanks brad1987.
