#13862 Three days on the road from Sydney to Mudgee, with the main objective of finding and logging the TRLT-North. It was an enjoyable drive, across dirt roads and some beautiful scenery. Day 1 we camped overnight at Hill End and day 2 we pitched out tent in Mudgee. The caches were easily found so the focus was fully on the journey through our Mid Western region of NSW.A lot of bottles around here. Did I miss a party?TFTC to all cache owners for maintaining this great series.

Stayed nearby overnight and grabbing anything along the way.Most hides where found after a short search. Loved the different containers and hides. Some great views to be had along the way. Spent time searching but clearly not here, so replaced with appropriate container and log.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Farmer Joe pulled up whilst on the hunt, and asked if we were caching. Yes we are. He told us a story, bout the hide being an old fence post, and that when putting up his new fence, he went to a lot of trouble to preserve it. Then the grader driver came along and wiped out the post. He reckons it is in a big pile over yonder and he wants to pull it out, and make amends some how. He said he likes to look in the log occasionally, and read who and when it's been found. Nice bloke. So it isn't available right now.

good hints
but sadly dnf. no less than 24 long neck beer bottles at gz. dnf

Only beer bottles today.....

Around the amber

Couldn't find it.

Headed to Hill End for camping during the October long weekend. Of course, some caches were to be found. This was one of them.
Log is full and needs to be replaced!

Found tyftc. Heading home from Bathurst trting to complete some of tge TRLT series. Sorry but will be generic logs today. Find #2357

With COVID19 locking everyone down for so long, a MUCH overdue geocaching mission was welcomed. FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided to head towards Bathurst and attack some of the TRLT caches and see how far we can go. Spoke to a few of the CO's prior to heading up to see if we could assist with any maintenance that was required, so we went prepared with some camo containers and some fresh log books. We had a wonderful weekend stretching the legs and enjoying the country side.

Another change in CO's along the TRLT trail. Its funny how you notice the change in CO's based on the container and hide styles

Thanks for the hide rogpol And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

Day 2
With the COVID19 restrictions lifting, we decided to head to the Bathurst area this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild. Our intention was to attack the TRLT trail and others around the area.
We had a great four days, only a few DNF’s but mostly smiley's, and have left plenty for another adventure. Lovely area to cache in and we look forward to coming back for some more fun and laughs.

Thanks for the hide rogpol and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

Apologies for the generic log, thank you to all the cache owners for their efforts.

Day 3 in Mudgee and our last. Today was for picking up the middle sectioon of the TRLT series before moving on to Bathurst. A more enjoyable day as the wind had eased and this section of the road has been graded. A long day as we had to get to Sofala as this will be the end point from Bathurst.

After a quiet night camping at Hill End,
I was headed for Kandos today

First stop along the back roads,
was here out in the country

No barking up the wrong tree for me,
the cache was found with nary a 'Baaaaa !!' [:o)]

TFTC on TRLT

This was to be the last long geocaching trail for us to undertake during our current travels around Australia, and so mid afternoon yesterday we had started at the top of the trail and kept going until just after sunset. This morning we returned to where we had pulled out of the trail the day before. Yesterday had been cold, windy and wet, but today the sun was out again and it remained dry throughout the day albeit with a very chilly wind. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Travelling from Bathurst to Mudgee and caching along the way. Thanks to all the COs for placing the caches and showing us around your region.

Day 3 - Travelling TRLT with oldmorty and marj01.
(Log signed OMF to save space).
TRLT caches: found - 80, DNF - 3.
Other caches found - 35, DNF - 1.
Thanks to rogpol for placing this cache here for us to find.

On a big weekend caching with oldmorty and Frazeydaze and logs have signed OMF. 
Would like to thank all cache owners, for making and maintaining the caches.

OCW frazerdaze and marj01. House sitting at White Rock for a week has provided an opportunity to do some geocaching runs around Bathurst - mainly TRLT series indispersed with a number of trads and puzzle caches. During the day we saw lovely scenery, lots of sheep and cattle, a few foxes and one deer in the forestry area. We even encountered fire persons doing a burn off which included two of the caches we were chasing. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment. For expediency all logs were signed OMF.

Spent the morning having a look around Hill End and then it was onto a few of TRLT series.
Most caches found easily enough.
Some nice spots around here.

Out on a caching roadtrip for a few day over the holidays I stopped in here to look and find this hide.
It sure has been a really enjoyable scenic country drive.
With so many finds I appoligise for my repeated logs.
Thanks to all the CO for placing their caches along the way

Thank you so very very much for this awesome series that is showing us around with minimal bitumen. Absolutely loving it. Not surprised that it was an estate as it is a lovely old house. Thank you.

Hello, rogpol. Looking forward to seeing what you serve up on the next section of TRLT.This one was a bit sad, really.

Good start to a day of caching. We're also hunting for hidden creatures. TFTC Rogpol

First find for the day, luckily nice and quick, so we're off to a good start.
TFTC rogpol

We don't usually do many of the TRLT caches as they are not very interesting or challenging but when you need a lot of caches in a short time and live in the country.... Quick find. TFTC

found it

Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 3. Sofala to Mudgee via Hill End and lots more back roads. The main focus of this trip was more of the TRLT series, so it was good to get back to work on the main goal.

Leaving Bathurst we headed for Sofala and did some caching along the way. Luckily we found places to pull of the road with the caravan and once in Sofala we were able to leave the caravan at the waterhole camp near town and cache more freely. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to rogpol for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Have finished the family xmas duties and we are now free to cache yipee, so here we come trlt series. These are the sort of caches we love, getti g out and about into the country. Great effort getting this series going and keeping up with maintenance thanks to all the COs Loving betting off the beaten track. Tftc

Found with cullum68 on our way to mudgee thanks for the cache

Headed up with nissan 65 for another few days caching. Today we are heading towards Sofala and MudgeeThanks for the cache .

On our way home from Mudgee to Sydney with AWTYOW, Geogangstars and Brizzle11 - this is a great caching trail! TFTC

With AWTYOW, Geogangstas and Gabstar. We decided to make the trip back to Sydney more fun (and longer) by taking in another section of the road less travelled. Great fun caching through the countryside here! TFTC

Another one ticked off on the long road home. TFTC

Six of us looking round and round before we had a face palm moment... Why didn't Dwight Shrute find it? She was covering that corner... "I'm too short to see that properly," was her terrible excuse! TFTC and the giggles.

Found as part of a weekend away with Hoojar. We headed up towards Gulgong the first night and camped near the start/ end of TRLT (@ -5 degrees ). The next day we made it through some nice historic places and great rolling countryside to finish up at Sunny Corner after a feed in Bathurst. The next day a few more finds before we headed home. Plenty of roadkill spotted, not many cars and not too much trouble at each cache. Thanks to all those cache hiders .

The opportunity finally arose that Steeba and I both had a free weekend to go caching. We quickly settled upon the northern half of The Road Less Traveled series. We drove to Gulgong via Mudgee after work on Friday, camping just before midnight at the suggested TSR nearby.

Saturday we made our way via the caching trail, and the odd additional cache, to Bathurst for dinner, then back onto the trail to Sunny Corner where we again camped for the evening.

Sunday we turned our heads for home, via a few additional cache stops in Portland and Wallerawang.

A fantastic weekend away, with excellent country to be seen and company to be had. We enjoyed the caches that we found.

Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!

Cheers

Came back to this one to make the find. If it was in the same spot last time, then I should be ashamed of myself! TFTC

14123. Found during a run through the Bathurst to Mudgee region this long weekend.

Having completed the southern part of TRLT series last month I had the northern part of the series on my radar for this long weekend - plus as many extras as there are along the way. Leaving home this morning I was caching before lunch on the outskirts of Bathurst heading north. All but two of today's caches were found and all were nicely hidden with good sized containers. This was the next find for the day. Quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache replaced, and I headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for their caches - it was a great run up through this area.

TNLN - TFTC !!

A nice quick find at 2.50 today. We decided to do a few more on TRLT! Love this series, some great views and some insight on hidden little communities, thank you for bringing us here! : )

Road trip North to tackle The Road Less Travelled Series with JordsAU! I’ve wanted to try this trail for a while but hadn’t found anyone to try it with. I ran it by Jords a few weeks back & after checking the roster for the week, the stars aligned and we started organising it. He was aiming for “200 caches in a day”, so we planned the trail as best we could!

Monday – we drove up to Gulgong to start the trail. We worked our way down to Mudgee (~30 caches) before setting up camp for the night. We had an early night so we could smash out a big day.

Tuesday – packing up at sunrise and setting out, the big day begun! We reached the first 100 by 2:00pm (7 hours elapsed). We were worried that we weren’t going to reach the 200 milestone considered how far we had to go and how long we had been tracking! The stretch from the Great Western Highway to Oberon made great time and we were on 150 caches. Instead of heading into Oberon to set up camp in daylight, we decided the best use of the remaining daylight would be to push through into the night for the last 50. Eventually we were down to the last handful, when we hit an area of the forest that had been logged. To make up the last few, we assumed there would be caches in Oberon, so we drove 50km back to town. We made the 200 at the Oberon Memorial Site and called it a (long) day.

Wednesday – I was all ran down from the big day, so we made our way back home! I found a few in Sydney, and made the drive back down home. It was a good to unpack and have a nice hot shower. Now for the long laborious task of entering these logs!

Thank you to all the Cache Owners along this trail. It was a real joy to visit another part of this great country we call home. It’ll be easier for me to return to the trail via Goulburn/Crookwell to finish off the series (and hopefully visit any further extensions). TFTC’s!

2/5/17 Found with muppet95. Muppet95 mentioned to me that he was keen to hit up The Road Less Travelled series and we decided to take a few days off to go on a bit of a road trip. I wanted to shoot for a goal of finding at least 200 caches in a 24 hours period and we made plans accordingly. We drove up to Gulgong on the first day and arrived in the early afternoon. We started The Road Less Travelled series there and headed south towards Mudgee, picking up approximately 30 geocaches on the way. We spent the night camping on the outskirts of Mudgee and had an early night, with the expectation of an early start to have the best chance of reaching our goal of 200 caches the next day. At the crack of dawn on day 2, we packed up camp and set out on the trail, finding our first for the day at 7 AM. We then spent the next 14 hours travelling The Road Less Travelled, caching the series and picking up some additional caches along the way. We powered on well after the light of day had disappeared, because we were on a mission and were resolute in our efforts to achieve our goal for the day. We reached a point, down near Gurnang in the pine forest, where the area a cache in the series was supposed to be had been logged and we could not continue, without backtracking and going the long way around. We made the decision to turn around and head back to Oberon, where we would pick up the last remaining few to reach our target number. I am very sad to say that on the way out of the pine forest, a wombat ran out as we were driving past and was struck by the underside of the car. We stopped immediately and I rushed over to its aid. The poor thing was in not in a good way and I did what I could to provide some comfort but it faded away within a matter of minutes. The accident is very distressing and upsetting, and it put a real dampener on a long and tiring day. There was nothing we could do at that point, so we continued on our way back to Oberon, picking up some more caches in town. We reached our campsite and setup, keen to rest up and have a deserved sleep in. It was another cold night, definitely dropping below zero degrees. We woke in the morning and, after packing up, we made our way back to the big smoke. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners, and for putting this series together, which takes us on a different route along the Road Less Travelled. We will have to come back at another point in the future to try and finish off the series, and hope that one day the series may be extended further for everyone’s enjoyment.

A day out picking up some more of the caches along TRLT and others that were nearby.
Lots of nice views along the dusty and rough roads.

Found with Brewmaker while on a two day adventure finding caches in The Road Less Travelled trail series and other nearby ones.
We started at Meadow Flat and then headed north (having previously headed south on another adventure) through Sunny Corner and Palmers Oakey before camping overnight at Wattle Flat. Then it was on to Sofala Sally's Flat, Pyramul and heading north towards Mudgee before we ran out of time. Will have to come back to finish the series. Most caches were easy to find and it was a very enjoyable drive along these country roads some beautiful scenery, historic places, native animals etc.

Found with MikeV1 on Day Two of our adventure out west. Looks like a party has been going on here with all the beer bottles!

Over two days we managed to grab 100 finds while attempting part of TRLT series. We started at Meadow Flat and headed north passing through Sunny Corner, Dark Corner, Palmer's Oakey, Mt Horrible, Turon, Wattle Flat, Crudine, Sally's Flat, Sofala, Pyramul and Aaron's Pass, before detouring to Mudgee to refuel and then head back to Sydney. We had a great time taking the Brewmobile along these rarely used country roads, seeing some amazing scenery, old homesteads, cemeteries, plenty of wildlife and natural landforms along the way. Most of the hides were easy to find with good coords and hints. Thanks to all the COs for the time & effort that has gone onto placing these hides.

Day 2 of 23 of our caching trip to Alice Springs, finding 300 caches in total. This was find #15 for the day.

We did The Road Less Travelled with Calypso62 and skebomonkeytown, staying at a lovely property in the Capertee Valley for two nights.

We weren't sure if the kookaburras were welcoming us to or laughing at us for entering Bathurst Regional Council!?!

Day 2 of our fabulous adventure with Skyebomonkeytown and Team Canary.
After enjoying a delicious dinner at the Capertee pub last night and staying over at my mate’s place in the valley, we commuted back to The Road Less Travelled to continue the journey. It is obvious this series took a lot of effort to organise and to get it up and running. A big thank you to all the COs for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

Had a great weekend with Calypso62 and Team Canary attempting the first half of TRLT (most logs signed as a combo of C62 TC and SBMT). We stayed at a friend's place in the Capertee Valley and "commuted" both days through the lovely countryside. We also incorporated the Mudgee parkrun into our weekend on Saturday morning - C62 and my first. Thanks to all COs for the series.

Nice to cross into Bathurst Council's area, even if it is only just. This cache was located to the soundtrack of a couple of local kookaburras laughing at us. I didn't think we did too badly, not sure why they were laughing. Meanies.

A slightly cooler day and we decided it is way past time to do a spot of caching. We very much appreciate your time and effort in placing these caches - nice and close to home for us. Thanks rogpol.

It was nice to get a slightly cooler day and get out and do some caching. There are lovely views all along this road and we had a enjoyable drive. Thanks for placing the caches here.

This is a great day out caching and I am so pleased 3-Kings and I decided to come this way. Thanks to the COs for what must have been a lot of work putting these caches out. Great time had by all. TFTC

Heading north today to do a some more of the TRLT series. Quick find TFTC

Not sure about the bark but surveying the area led to a find.

what a sad little place going to wrack and ruin. makes you wonder how hard it is to make a living on the land round here. Sally's Flat road is a pretty country drive if a little wet today and these caches are making sure we pay attention to what's here, thank you.

Had a Geo expedition today with the Geo Parents, from Windeyer to Hargraves via Hill End. Many finds and a good time had by all.

We spent the day with our son, IRON.BRAD, although it is geoDan who has a titanium prosthesis courtesy of a recent hip replacement. Plenty of empty longnecks here. TFTC

Up from Canberra on a solo geomission to Bathurst, Mudgee and surrounds The focus of the weekend was to attack as many of the TRLT series as I could as well as any others along the way!

Most of these were found quite quickly and I enjoyed the drive around the countryside collecting them. Apologies for the cut/paste logs - I found so many on the journey I can't possibly remember them all!

Thanks for the hide, rogpol

Starting segment 5 of the road less travelled, could see this cache from the car so have hidden it a bit better, loved the old house, looks like some earthworks are about to begin, a large digger has been put into the paddock next to the house.

Found at 10:09 AM GAFF1 in the company of Team Nurse Hayley.

Thanks rogpol.

On a caching adventure to Mudgee with pprass we set out to see some country side and some interesting caches.

Day four of our five day geocaching trip from Brisbane to Canberra for Easter. Today we cached from Gulgong to Sofala, on the road not so often traveled, working for our 100-in-a-day challenge.

We are caching for 100 or more: that is our aim, so nice quick finds are the order of the day. So these logs will be rather generic - written up after the trip is well and truly over.

The country we traversed was wonderfully varied - a few Ks of sealed road but the majority was gravel - easily handled by our GeoFalcon, although we laughed several times at how the white dust (in sharp contrast to the usual brown and red of Queensland) made it look like a ghost car.

We crossed many causeways, traversed valleys and crossed mountain ridges. Scenery was magnificent. All in all we have only two DNFs in the total trail, so that was a bonus.

Would we recommend this trail? An unequivocal YES!

A cosy country cottage
Across a dusty road;
No bark, no woof, no, not a bit:
No dogs 'round here allowed!
But on this road less travelled
A cosy cache we found,
And then replaced the camo,
Now we are onwards bound!

Found at 5.25pm on 23rd March 2016. TFTC.

We discovered all those many a couple of days ago.

We have solved all the interesting mysteries before we started our trip to the Mid Western Region of NSW.

Day 1

We started the day in Meadow Flat, followed by Sunny Corner and Dark Corner past Palmers Oakley.
We loved the hilly nature along many peaceful Gravel roads. Many smilies were forming on our map.
We finished the day in Bathurst.

Day 2

We started all fresh again in the morning. Leaving Bathurst, we were able to get going about faster along the sealed road.
We reached Sofala at around lunch time. We couldn't believe that about 40,000 used to live here. It really seemed that the city stopped developing in around the 1850's..
We continued towards Hills End and Windeyer through dry grassy land in 47 degrees heat.
We spend such a beautiful night here in Windeyer in the caravan park. We booked one of the train accomodation where you got to stay in the train back in time. What a great experience. We really liked Windeyer as it seemed so far away from all the city rush. Te locals were very welcoming and were happy to see us in the pub next door for dinner.
What a great community living were it seems like everyone knows everyone.

Day 3

We left Windeyer after a big breakfast. We travelled along Hills End Road until we reached the turn towards another Gravel road. There wer many animals to watch and it got even hotter and hotter.
This day ended in Mudgee.

Day 4

We took a look at Mudgee city today were we searched for a couple of caches and ten continued towards Rylstone.
After we continued to the Wollemi National Park which a good friend recommended us to go. Here we climbed on the top of the mountain and simply enjoyed the stunning view and the tranquil nature.
After, we traveled towards Kandos, Capertee, Cullen Bullen, Portland and Wallerawang back home to Sydney.

We hereby would like to thank all owners for this great interesting tour. We got to see many historical places and sometimes felt like as if we were living back in the the 1850's, which is a good thing.

Thanks

Spent a lot of time on this one. Two RUSH songs. Subdivisions and The Analog Kid. I couldn't find the camo cover, but I found some numbers neatly cut into a tree trunk.

We completed this series over 3 1/2 days in total, with a side trip to Hill End which we thoroughly enjoyed. We were heading homeward bound after a couple of weeks on the road, touring and caching around southern Queensland and NSW, and this series topped off a great holiday. Thanks to all COs for their efforts in placing these caches and making this series possible. TFTC!

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Continuing on TRLT series which we started last year. Finishing this series off as and when we have time.

Apologies for the generic logs, when doing so many caches it certainly is easier. I will however note anthing extra on caches that need it.

#3350- I had missed the turnoff for the cemetery cache and somehow came back out facing the wrong way. Once I corrected myself, we found the cache and moved on. By now the boys, Garks and NickoHeap were making moves for food and I told them they'd have to wait a little while longer. Thanks rogpol, I think that was the last of yours for today, though somehow I missed looking for a few which I will have to come back and look for next time around.

Today we travelled to Sofala, dropped the caravan off & continued on TRLT trail. Heading back towards we stopped yesterday.
This was great farming country onto flat land & into the mountains.
Thanks for placing this cache rogpol

I was baffled here, just wandering around aimlessly, peering into different places, without having any expectation of finding the cache. Then bikerbuddy checked old logs, and found Rainbow Spirit's alternative coordinates. They were spot on. As I'm logging late, I can see the CO has now updated the coords. Thanks for doing that, future finders will have no trouble here now.

Thanks

This was our first rogpol cache in the TRLT series as we headed south after an early morning start from our camping spot, north of Mudgee. By the time we got to this cache it was mid-afternoon. Our plan was to get to Sofala and camp, so we wanted to make sure we found the last caches before Sofala so we could get dinner and establish a camp spot.

However, this first cache proved a problem. The coordinates had me in the middle of the road. I realised they must be a bit out, but the hint offered little help without a specific location. So we widened our search and looked around. Eventually, we decided to check the logs and saw that Rainbow Spirit had offered some alternative coordinates. I tried those and then found the cache immediately. I would suggest using those for a coordinate update. Once at the right location the hint made a lot of sense.

As it turned out, despite the small delay here, we overshot our goal quite a bit and were forced to look for another camping ground after nine that night. We ended up south of Bathurst, with a drive back to where we had left the series, the next day. Thanks

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there rogpol. We found your cache "TRLT - Sallys Flat - North; A Country Estate" at 10:33:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11812.

Today was our third day of caching the TRLT trail. We started the day off from Gulgong Showground (again) and we were off and running. When we were close to Sofala we encountered a group riding Postie Bikes & raising money for charity.

We ended up logging 42 caches (and DNFing 1) before we thought it would be a good idea to head back for happy hour.

Please excuse our boilerplate logs. It's not really a good excuse, but we find it really difficult to craft individual logs after attempting so many similar caches in a day.
