Reperio 09:53Today I had the day off, so decided to spend it along the TRLT series from Hazelgrove through Edith and Gingkin to Mount David. High winds throughout the day made things a bit tricky with signing logs and keeping zip lock bags from flying away, but almost all caches were found in good health, with only a few DNFs, and a few that need maintenance. As I was working from an offline list, I ended up revisiting a few caches I had previously logged due to the list not being updated. All in all it was a great day out.Gratias alnic39As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

We are on a cachey 10 day holiday, starting off with 2 nights at Emu Plains to hopefully collect the new GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and some more of the Band caches north of Penrith. Then it’s 5 nights at Oberon to collect some of the many new & old puzzle caches that we have solved around the area, and also hoping to complete the Oberon Adventure Lab. After leaving Oberon we will be visiting Jenolan Caves, for both the caves and the Jenolan EarthCache, then heading to Katoomba for 2 nights to ride the Scenic World attractions (Railway, Cableway, & Skyway) and to do a few caches of various types plus an Adventure Lab. We will end the holiday with a stop-off at Wentworth Falls for some more caches and a couple of Adventure Labs.

Today we will be continuing our travels on some more of "the roads less travelled" to collect some more of the TRLT cache series, and also any other caches we come across along the way. Yesterday we travelled roads to the East & North of Oberon, and today we will be travelling South towards Gingkin. This was our 11th find of the day (day 6), and 112th find of the holiday.

This one was next, and it was another nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. The Whalan name keeps popping up in the history of the area. TFTC alnic39.

Day 3
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 alnic39 and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

Apologies for the generic log, thank you to all the cache owners for their efforts.
 
08-Jun-20
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.

Thanks for the hide alnic39 Big Grin And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others Big Grin

A plan was hatched, for a group of Canberra (and one Goulburn) Geocachers to stay overnight in Bathurst on a Saturday night and cache our way there and back - mainly doing some of The Road Less Travelled series, and anything else interesting that we were near. So, on Friday afternoon All7 and I met up with Cosmonaut97, who drove us out to Goulburn where we stayed the night with MinnieK (thanks for the hospitality), and then DarkSideDan arrived in the morning and we crammed all our gear into the back of the Cosmonaut Geomobile, all 5 of us climbed in, and we embarked upon our adventure - and what a fun weekend we had! Lots of laughs, some interesting terrain to drive through, and a whole lot of cache finds - so, sorry - most of these logs will be rather generic ... (and also rather late, because I am only just catching up with all the logging now - oops)
Logs were signed as CGG19 by at least a couple of people, or possibly CGC19 by me, because that is what I have written in my notebook (except for the first one I signed, which I think I signed GGC19) ... so I guess our group name was Canberra Goulburn Geocachers, or Canberra Goulburn Cachers, or whatever else anyone else signed - lol)
TFTC - I didn't write draft logs for any of these, because it was too difficult to keep up with that as we went ... and with all the caches we found this weekend - in most cases I don't remember which bit of fun was which particular cache. I did write a few words in my note book for some of them, so I will include those below if I did.
(Unfortunately, if I don't just copy and paste the same log for all these, and try to go through my photos or something, or read the listing and get creative, to figure out different things to write, I will never be able to catch up with my logging, and I don't like being behind).

Hunted, and found our quarry Smile

Out caching with Cosmonaut97, ALL7, DARKSIDEDAN & Aykayem with an aim to do as many as we could on TRLT series. Signed logs as CGG19 to save space (Canberra Goulburn Group 2019).

Had a long and tiring day finding everything on our list for the day. Thank you to all CO's for their efforts in placing and maintaining the caches for others to find.

Look forward to continuing the trail when I can.

Greetings from DARKSIDEDAN.

Today I went on a caching trip and managed to get 113 caches in a day. Your cache was one of the 113 caches that I signed CGG19 as part of our group signature for the four geocchers in our group. We saw loads of wildlife on our trip including 6 Wombats and loads of Roos.

Here is a little about me. At the time of this “Found It” log I have over 6750 finds and 350 Hides. I was the creator of the “Ducky Dip” Lab Cache that won 2nd Prize in the State Vs State Battle of the Labs during the OzGeoMuster – The Gong 2019. I am the owner of the largest GeoArt Series in the ACT and winner of countless Geocaching Prizes.

I have included one of the Geocaching poems that I have written. I hope that anyone reading it likes it

Geocache Poem
By DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind
I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see
Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?
Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there
As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.

* * * * * I am currently writing very detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC called "The Author". This Badge challenges geocachers to write logs with an average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the 20th of April 2019 my average is 110 words per log, which seems close to the 200 words per log target. However given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 200 words for a long period of time to get my average up. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After more than 5500 aches (which includes all cache finds up and including today I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task very soon. Progress has been better than anticipated. * * * * *

Once again T H A N K S F O R T H E C A C H E. I R E A L Y E N J O Y E D F I N D I N G Y O U R C A C H E . . . ! ! !

OCW frazeydaze. Today was all about the numbers. Having found the gems that were stolen from the Museum we now had to return the gems to the Museum by finding 35 caches to access the lock to the vault. Being at Blackheath for the weekend we thought that the easiest way to do that was to tackle a section of TRLT.

Starting at Duckmaloi at 10 and finishing at Jaunter at 5, with a slight detour to the Jenolan Caves to grab some lunch, we travelled many back roads through forests of pine and gum trees, saw spectacular sceenery and generally had a fun day.
Frazeydaze even saw a few wombats in the wild for the first time.

All caches were in good condition and a big thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

This was our fourth day on this super long geocaching trail, and so first thing this morning we set off to where we had pulled out of the trail yesterday evening. The weather was perfect and once again we found ourselves travelling through some truly beautiful scenic countryside on interesting roads. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We were also very glad to have found this one with it being placed over 1,100 meters of elevation and thus a qualifier for the NSW Altitude Sickness Challenge cache. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and for the interesting information on the cache page. Greetings from Zimbabwe

From November 5th to November 30th I studied English at ILSC in Sydney. After these month I rent a car for traveling and driving to Melbourne because my return flight is from Melbourne. The plan for the weekend was to visit the Jenolan Caves. The Lucas Cave on Saturday afternoon and the Diamont&Imperial Cave on Sunday morning. After the Lucas Tour I had some time before dinner so that I went around for caching.
I found the box quickly.
Thanks for the cache from Bonn, Germany

After visiting the nearby Jenolan caves we though we may as well clear out as many as we can, at least until the kids give up and get cranky. As it turns out, the eldest geodaughter was super keen just to keep caching and caching, it was the geowife and the other geodaughter that finally pulled up stumps.

Someone passing through here had a lot of smiley face buttons, thats for sure!

Hi there alnic39.

We found your cache **"TRLT – Whalan Spit (apostrophes are important)"** today. (This makes our find count 17754).

Today we headed out from Oberon so we could attempt some more of the "TRLT" series, plus any others we came across on our travels. We started at "Tatiana's Crown" & from there we proceeded to log caches up to "Back on the Bitumen" before heading back to camp. We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but it is really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

We found 53 caches today & DNF'd 2. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** Most containers and log books were in good shape but some require a little "maintenance".
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Three geocachers (mizmaz, envirogirl86, and myself) embarked on a monumental long weekend to complete as much of TRLT series as we could. (Apologies for the generic log). Awesome series!! TFTC!
 
03-Jul-17
3 girls (Mizmaz, StumbleTrip and myself), a car, a gps and a sense of adventure resulted in 198 caches over 3 days. And, of course, we decided to go on our adventure on the coldest weekend in 110 years. Razz
Sorry for the generic log, however most of the caches we found (162/165 in total) were in good condition and were quick, easy finds. Thank you for placing these caches in such a beautiful and interesting area. I hope to get back to finish the northern end (a little more casually) sometime early next year.
 
03-Jul-17
Having completed the northern end of TRLT nearly two years ago with the Rats, was now time to tackle the southern end during a three day roadtrip with StumbleTrip and Envirogirl86. Smilies gained on 162/165 (with the other 3 either disabled or several dnf logs before us) plus a number of bonus trads/puzzle finds along the way. Reported as the coldest weekend in 110 years, daylight hours were thankfully quite pleasant the first two days of the trip but today we felt the bitter cold and often experienced drizzle and fog however still managed our best daily tally to complete our agenda. Apologies for generic logs but all were fairly easy finds with mostly good co-ords or obvious camo.

13945. Found during a caching run with Caching Wench #1 along the TRLT series. Awesome day with 118 finds for me...

SpecimenX and I had an early start out from Canberra and arrived at the first cache of the series at about 0930 to start the day off. As with nearly all of the caches this one was a quick find on the nice container because of the good coords and nicely hidden from muggles. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and we headed off to the next one.

Our thanks to all the COs of this wonderful series - we will be back to hit another section soon !
