Day 3 - Travelling TRLT with oldmorty and marj01.
TRLT caches: found - 80, DNF - 3.
Other caches found - 35, DNF - 1.
Unfortunately this was a DNF today.

Three pairs of eyes searched here but no luck today.

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.
No luck today

Another DNF here. There were a few stand-out spots, all empty, we checked a little wider with no luck.... probably needs a check now.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Had a good look but no luck.

??????

Looked around in likely places but no luck.

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
Cheers

Find No.3960 while based in Mudgee for a couple of days. So far, we have found approximately 450 TRLT series caches. We don't like generic repetitive logs, so we will try to keep it fresh.
Found with sesblocker. Quick find with great coords.

Tftc found with earthly 65

Took the less travelled road on a daytrip from Mudgee to Gulgong, each cache was found without too much searching around
TFTC

Quick find, found with RangerNed. First find of the series

Found with TeamScozzie

Slippery road stop.

On our way back from the coast MrGT needed to stop at a farm to pick something up. Sitting in the car waiting I thought I'd check if any TRLT caches were nearby. They were. So I was able to convince MrGT to take the lesser travelled road back into Mudgee for a bite to eat before completing the trip home. TFTCs.

Day 2 of the TRLT series.
Found 25 in total today.
Again, all were easy enough finds.
Some nice spots visited.

Thank you so very very much for this awesome series that is showing us around with minimal bitumen. Absolutely loving it. Thank you.

Why Cattle Stop?

According to the previous posts this one was supposed to be the easiest cache of all, however after a lot of searching we did find the cache in a ditch beside the road and replaced it at or near GZ. Perhaps some owner maintenance will be necessary. TFTC

Easiest by far

Hill End and Mudgee weekend April 2018. I set out late on Thursday after a small car battery issue. I only stopped once before a night at Bummeroo ford. Friday took me to Orange via many spread out caches between Oberon and Bathurst. I spent the night at Macquarie woods. Saturday started foggy and then warmed up. I was heading to Hill end, and did make it, but I had to give up on the Bridle track due to a rockfall. Late in the evening I did find a spot along the Turon river and the very bumpy northern section of the Bridle trail. Sunday had me finishing the TRLT trail from Mudgee to Gulgong and a few missed ones in the middle of nowhere. The last day was a simple drive home from Sofala. A great weekend !

After the rough morning start on the Bridle Track it was a relief to get to normal roads, even dirt ones. The rest of the day was spent dealing with more TRLT caches with a few extras thrown in to fill in the day.

Thanks.

Out with Snoopy1976 this weekend completing some of the TRLT caches. Most were easy finds but some took a little longer to find. TFTC

Quick find....out doing this series with dave8153 as my goal is to get 5000 for the OZ geomuster. TFTC

We are staying at the Mudgee showgrounds and with this extreme heat we headed out for a while to get some caches before returning to the comfort the aircon in the caravan provides. We like doing these rural caches and this was a particularly nice section and the caches a little closer to each other which kept things more interesting. We stopped for a lunch at Gulgong and enjoyed looking around this unique town. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find and we thank Scenic Routers for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

On a two day caching trip with GeodudeAU to cover more of TRLT series and others from Carcalgong-Mudgee-Gulgong-Ilford-Capertee-Lithgow. We had 90 finds and only a few DNFs for our efforts. A great couple of days exploring the Central Tablelands seeing some amazing places we wouldn't normally visit. We even survived the mini-hurricane that swept through our campsite along the Cudgegong River at TSR (Cullenbone)! Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches. Most were in good order and easily found with the help of handy hints to get CIH.

Very sheepish about finding this one! TFTC

Out with Brewmaker for a 2 day trip finding caches along The Road Less Travelled series and other nearby ones. On this day 2 we started just north of Mudgee along the Henry Lawson trail through Eurunderee towards Gulgong, then through Piambong and back towards Mudgee before heading back to Sydney though Lithgow.
It was an enjoyable journey through the countryside and towns, seeing farm and native animals along the way. Today was a nice sunny day and there were no issues.
We found most of the caches very easily (except for a few in Mudgee). Most of the caches were in good order, so all in all it was a good day's caching. Thanks to all of the COs for providing this trail and caches

Having come up from Sydney for a long weekend of geocaching in and around Mudgee, we set up camp at the Old Bara campsite, and then took off for a number of TRLT caches in the afternoon.

No cattle around, but stopped we did.

On our christmas family break away, got sent into Mudgee to buy supplies and couldnt resist making a start on the trlt series, we figured the family wouldnt miss us for a couple of hours. Love series like this that take you off the main roads. Tftc

Found in the heat on the way to Dubbo to see my daughter. Did a side trip. Great area around here. TFTC.

We will fight for bovine freedom. Tftc tnln

A quick stop for another cache,

I love the road less travelled so had to try at least some of these caches. Enjoyed every one I did - some scenery was totally amazing ...the serenity of the drive just perfect. TFTC (all of them)

1/10/17. 5:29 PM. Cache #5393.
57th of 71 finds today.

Day 2 of the long weekend for which I have come up to plunder caches in the Mid West Regional council. Now on to the main leg of the day, The Road Less Travelled; I followed the trail up though Pyramul, Carcalgong, Windeyer, Grattai, Collingwood, Erudgere and Piambong - 62 caches in 6 hours including a handful of non-TRLT caches. TFTC to all the COs involved.

Sorry it's mostly going to be a copy/paste affair, but there will be the occasional extra commentary where anything of note happened...
} : )

On the way home to the Upper Hunter from Dubbo. Me, my 3 minions and geo sister Gibberish101 decided we would attempt a section of this series. We weren't expecting a dirt road after checking a few times on the maps and found there was really no good places to pull over at most the cache sites. I wasn't game to get the geokiddies out of the car most of the time so Giberish101 went hunting and brought the caches back for my minions to do their trades

Not many left now until we head back through Mudgee. TFTC

Fun day of caching now that Gabstar has finished playing soccer in town. Time to tackle TRLT! Part of it... I found this one too. TFTC

found by geogangsta. TFTC

Spent the afternoon driving AWTYOW, Geogangstas and Gabstar down the road less travelled. Great fun caching through the countryside here! TFTC

The senior geo-gangsta stumpled across this one. TFTC

Another great one! Thank you so much!

Nice easy find

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

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

wind is picking up and I'm just not sure this jumper is up to the challenge, we shall see I guess. love these little country roads. tftc

14180. 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. After spending the Saturday night in Mudgee I hit the road again early today to finish up as much as I could. 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 !!

1/5/17 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.

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!

Enormous thanks to all the cache owners who helped make this trail. What an amazing part of the world. TFTC.

Day 1 of 23 of our caching trip to Alice Springs, finding 300 caches in total. This was find #26 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.

The hiding spot reminded us of something rude!?!

TFTC.

What a fabulous adventure I enjoyed with my great mates, Skyebomonkeytown and Team Canary. Our base was in the Capertee Valley at a friend’s hideaway. We had an early start to get to Mudgee for ParkRun then, after a bite to eat for breakfast, it was time to tackle The Road Less Travelled. 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.

My notes have "bum crack stump" written down.... And something about our GPSr sent us away the something, it looks like bench? I can't remember this one specifically so can't decode that message!

I thoroughly enjoyed tackling all the country roads doing some of the TRLT trail and other caches on route.
Plenty of exercise getting in and out of the geo-vehicle.
As I had started the trail late I soon ran out of light and had to camp for the night.

Awesome scenery from quite a number of geocaches.

Thanks to all the geocachers who have set and maintained their caches in the area. Well done to all.

**Thanks Scenic Routers for this one.**

having a beak for the day whilst traveling to the Vic. mega. What better way to spend our day off. thank you for placing this cache. TNLN SL

Moo!! 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, Scenic Routers

Found it!!! Swapped and SL TFTC

Just a brief for these cattle! Logged the cache then continued on our way.

Thanks.

Along our journey today, we have seen plenty of cattle, both stopped and going. Easy find.

Found at 11:36 AM GAFF1 in the company of Team Nurse Hayley.

Thanks Scenic Routers.

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

Day one of the Power Trail - great country side - not a boring drive at all.

On a magnificent Monday in and around Mudgee TFTC 3rd

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!

Can't see what would stop the cattle around here - it's got me stumped!

Found at 10.12am on 23rd March 2016. TFTC.

Found it! Such a beautiful day. TFTC

Found

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

Took geohubby with me for a drive to the Piambong leg of TRLT series. Hadn't been down this road for a few years. There is some great grazing country along this road. TFTC SL TNLN Farmers here really aren't doing it too badly here. The ploughed paddock is ready for the coming season to produce a crop. Cattle looked fat and happy.

#3456- It isn't till you see dry, ploughed fields like the ones next to this cache that you realise just how tough some of our farmers are doing it. Spied the cache while looking towards the fields. Hope you get more rain soon! thanks

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!

TFTC. Some confusion in my note taking was experienced at this point.

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.

Thanks to all COs for participating in this series of caches for us all to enjoy.

Firstly, happy new year to all and may 2016 be DNF FREE! Lol

An early start this morning with the hopes of achieving 100+ caches in a day. Headed north from Mudgee to start a large loop heading back south and west.

This was cache #27. A quick find in the logical spot. Lots of friendly sheep nearby saying hello. TNLN TFTC

Since I'm over a week late with my logging, I can see the log of the next finder. He must have been rendered speechless by the thought of bikerbuddy singing to the cows .

Apart from there lack of interest in music, these cows seemed peaceful, and most importantly, safely on the other side of the fence to us.

Thanks
