Great to come across another pjmpjm cache. It has been a long time.SL TFTC
While visiting the mountains for a couple of days of caching, I made my way to this cache. Some clown has left their dirty old vape in the container. TFTC
Out for the first time in a while with goingplaces2 for a bit of caching. Enjoyed the day and found this one OK. TFTC.
Today looked like a good day for a drive through part of the Blue Mountains with ilook4geo, finding some caches along the way as well. This one was an easy find. Thanks for the cache placement go to pjmpjm.
I was heading out to Mount Hay today to do the Venus Tor EarchCache and stopped off at this one along the way. A quick find once I'd parked at the top of the rutted side road. Many thanks for the hide.
Easy find, just as the CO intended. However, the logbook only had blank pages, as if the front part had been torn off. Otherwise cache matched the hint and location. TFTC pjmpjm
On the way back from Lockley pylon we did A quick stop to find this easy one.

Great views, lovely bushes In The area. Found with Storeyteller and the shoeiiz . Tftc
Easy find with team trashy and shoiiz. So great to be out after all this rain
Yes, this one had definitely seen better days, despite its original size and security. I replaced it with a suitable 'regular' and added a new log book. This cache won't be hard to find once you navigate off Mt. Hay Road and down the fire trail a bit.
The My Hay road was closed at the National Park gate today so we couldn't do our planned walk. Instead we found this cache and found WP1 of a nearby multi. Lovely cool clear day in the mountains today. TFTC
Easy little park and grab. The cache is in good condition, signed and replaced. TFTC
I am working on a streak and attempted "Walls Galore" today but stumbled on the last set of coordinates and as it was getting late I luckily found this cache to keep the streak going. However, I was trying to save it for another day when I didn't have time for one of the longer or more difficult caches. Not to worry it's all good!!!

We're in town for our yearly family Blue Mountains escape.... Last year we walked out to Lockleys Pylon, but didn't stop here as we weren't sure what lay ahead. This afternoon with a spare hour after arriving, we went for a quick cache in the area. No problems here, we parked and walked in, left a TB. Coordinates very good. TFTC!

While frazeydaze attended a course on how to use her new GPS at Katoomba I took the opportunity to do some caching in the mountains, Starting at Hazelbrook and finishing at Katoomba I visited ten caches. This was the sixth cache and after negotiating the gravel road in the old geomobile I was soon near GZ and after a short search it was CIH. Although it was very blustery here I had quick look at the magnificent views. TFTC
Great spot easy to find and get to

Last cache of the day with, my Geodad EverestHigh, The Bebes, and Brewmaker, to evaluate our great journey in the Blue Mountains! TFTC pjmpjm!
One last cache as the sun was setting after a day out with EH, MA & TB! At least we didn't need to get wet this time. TFTC
OCW Brewmaker, EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer.
Time for one last cache after a dip at Fortress.
The light was failing as we followed the track but we still made a quick find and enjoyed the Mt glimpses

With today's weather the glimpse was a little dissapointing, but I do like containers like this

Heading home from the canyon I stopped in to find this cache,I nice walk up the trail.About 20 metres from GZ the batteries in my gps went flat but I still had my phone and soon found it.
Thanks pjmpjm for the cache

Found it on the way from Leura train station to the mountains, crazy and loooong day Blue Mountains after sunset are... little scary, but only little.
Very nice and relaxing place
Thanks for the cache!
**Díky za kešku.**

Found with LovelyLadyLocks. Might need to revisit the area for the range close by!
I hadn't planned on doing any caches today but after the event in wentworth falls that plan felt a bit weird and this one had been on my radar for a while.
nice area, cache all good and onto the next one. i'll be back to deal with the Multi another day. good to talk to you again Pjmpjm

The views in this area are just downright breathtaking! We found the trail, and our Camry navigated it with no problems. Also found this 'classic' cache with no problems. Love that it is family friendly with no cliffs or steep climbs - makes it a fun one for a lot of younger - as well as older - cachers! TNLN; SL; TFTC !
took the hookies to MT hay today – they enjoyed the trip out & especially this ammo can. thanks
A foggy day in the mountains... couldn't see a thing. Never mind, it was a nice easy find anyway.
4/10/16. 8:31 AM. Cache #4264.
5th of 6 finds (& 2 DNFs) in Leura this morning.
After finding "Mt. Hay Roadside", I headed back south again and parked near this one. First order of business was to grab the coords from WP1 of "WALLS GALORE!". Did that, but that was about as far as I could go on that cache this morning. So, continued up the trail to this cache.
I checked the hint and soon saw a likely area to search. A bit of a cacher trail led me around to the correct side, where I made an easy find. Signed the log and replaced cache with all camo. Maybe time for one or two more caches this morning; I headed on to "A Hint of Power". Little did I realise that I would soon be back on this track, by making a mistake on 'Power'. TFTC.

Went after voting as thought would be quiet day along the road. Others had same idea but going further out. Aptly named cache. We can see Mt Hay clearly from bottom of our cul-de-saca at WF so lovely to see it from different angle. Alas photos didn't turn out. TFTC
Streak Day #1069 - Met up with dave8153 for a nice quick find, very nice area thanks for bringing us here. TFTC
After an all too brief chat with the CO today, nice to pick up one of his caches

Found it on a beautiful autumn Saturday while staying in Leura. I parked the car on the side of the road and walked in to find the cache in good condition in the obvious place. I'm not sure which resort I could see from GZ but I'd love to stay there. TFTC
Had I have had more faith in the geomobile this could have been a bushland P&G! As it was I parked on the road and walked in to GZ, nice views.
A nice day out in the mountains could not finish without some caches. I remember visiting a canyon around here a few years ago. This time I wasn't going far from the road. A short walk up from the surfaced road and the cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
I think this is what every cache should be. A walk in a beautiful area...an easy find...an ammo tin....and a view. Thanx PJM.
