CO suggested this would be difficult especially as the sun was going down. But the stars aligned as we searched the GPS was behaving & cache was located reasonably quickly.

We are on another short (four day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for three nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Hoping to collect the latest GFA Puzzle, Wherigo, and Letterbox caches that have appeared around Luddenham & Wallacia since our last visit to the area, and will have a go at the new GFA Adventure Lab. Will also be returning to the lower Blue Mountains to visit some previously unexplored caching locations, revisiting areas around Penrith & suburbs that have new or replaced caches, and maybe finish with a visit to the Londonderry area. Photos will be uploaded to some logs on our return to home base.

Today we headed up to Richmond, going via Llandilo and The Northern Road, then returning via Londonderry Road. This was the 15th of 28 finds for the day (day 3), and 43rd find of the holiday.

Arrived at GZ, lined things up, then battled our way through to make the find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Swampgecko.

Did walk here using the road, whilst giving geoson a driving lesson. Needed it to be quick, but didn’t spot the cache at night, thus ran back to the vehicle to continue with the lesson for the remainder of the night

Only wearing things today - so didn't want to walk too far in. Great hint! I can see where it is

The second roadtrip after lockdown with the goal of of reaching 10,000 finds by year end. Covid-19 lockdown put a spanner in the works and with only two months remaining in 2021 to find 200+ caches. So it was time to select caches based on quantity rather than quality. However there were still caches on beautiful and unexpected locations.
So today's trip brought me to the area of Richmond, Kurmond and Kurrajong. I also planned a bit of an off-road trip to Mountain Lagoon for three out-of-the-way caches.

It took me more time to turn the car around to the cache then it took me to find the cache.

This was 13 of 31 finds today. TFTC!

Came to Windsor today to do the Lab adventure and then move on to Glenbrook to do another one. Really enjoy the labs lately, but of course can't resist if there is anything else that turns up along the way. Mostly quick found traditionals today. As the church was on I had to do a bit more stealth

Below is a blurb about us.
We are trying to get a badge from Project-GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to
get badges for adding photos to our found logs.
We Started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full time (living in a caravan), caching fits in well with this lifestyle.
It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone.
When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there to get the caches we want.

Last find for the day,sneaky little sucker too!
I was out today on a caching run around the area visiting Nth Richmond Glossodia,Freemans Reach and up to Kurrajong Heights.
I had an excellent day caching out here finding almost all that I searched for,
Today was extremely warm and dry with a thick smoke haze blanketing throughout however this didnt dampen the day in the slightest,
It was a huge day with many finds so a big thank you to all the COs for placing their enjoyable hides,I do apologies for my generic logs.
Thanks for the cache

Somehow a tripped over submerged stumps, landed in them, cut my arse open in multiple spots, and then still made an embarrassed but joyous find. As Cartman would say, “Seriously you guys, my ass!” TNLN TFTC

Dropped by on our way over the mountains.

With a spare hour before an appointment in Richmond this morning, we came out with JJCC for a small cache run. Parked about 15m from GZ, walked in and made a very quick find. With the cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Swampgecko.

The following TBs came through for the mileage : Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, teamMerlin's Football

I'm sure I've been here before, it all looks familiar but I haven't logged a dnf so I can't have been here.
Maybe all these country roads near 6008 or 8009 or whatever it is look the same very early in the morning.

Anyway I beat off all the spider webs and thrashed my way through the scratchy undergrowth, all the while wondering if there was anyone in the building nearby watching me. Eventually I spied the cache and opened it only to find the log is completely full so I wrote along the side of other names.

As I beat my way back to the roadside I was wondering what driving muggles who were passing as I appeared would think I had been doing in the bushes. Fortunately the road was vacant in both directions, probably due to the very early hour.

All in a day's caching adventures.

Left Port Macquarie heading south to the Mega event At Canberra.
Our 3rd stop on the way staying at the Richmond club.
In the afternoon we decided to look for caches closer to our camp, this was a good way to visit the city area.
I think the recent rain helped the cammo & made it more difficult to find. Hint was very good
Thanks for placing this cache Swampgecko

One of three previous DNFs from earlier this year, that today I changed Sad to Smile. GZ was about seven metres away for my Garmin. I squeezed in GW as the log is VERY full; also very wet. TFTC Swampgecko.
