Hi Nudge74,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

A day on the road after a few days in Port Macquarie, all good here, interesting travelling the old highways and appreciating the freeway with a big van in tow.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

A recent clean up in the area made this one much simpler than it possibly could have been.

The last week or so has been a quieter time where we have enjoyed the beach, walking and fishing but today we headed out to some of the trails out from Scotts Head where we are staying. In particular the Buffalo Trail, Tamban Trail and Fruit & Nut Trail.
It was a lovely day to be out and about, with good sized caches on the Buffalo and Tamban in general and the majority of caches being in reasonable condition despite the recent very wet weather.
The Fruit hides were at times challenging, and the Nuts often quite evil. Added to this the Fruit & Nut track had a number of mud holes, but nothing that wasn't easily passable. We were fortunate to find all of these. Quite an achievement.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Nudge74.

Diverted off the M1 to have a look here but no success, even with someone else's suggested coordinates that were about 12 metres away. Just as I was giving up it started to rain, then as I drove off it started really bucketing down. Thanks anyway for the detour.

On my way to Wangaratta mega and it is a slow drive down as I am stopping at many of the unusual and interesting places. My trip down south is mainly centred on the older caches and ones for challenges or d/t grids.

On my way to Kempsey and saw this one, so a quick stop as I was passing. An easy find and with the log signed and cache replaced as found I was off to the next one. Thanks for placing this one here.

Doing a bit of caching in and around Macksville with ilook4geo. This cache was found and the log was signed and all was put back as it had been found. The co-ords took us to the right spot. Thanks go to Nudge74 & Anissa288 for placing this cache.

Floating around while the others use their amazing skills to find the cache, well, not much help was needed, *Throsbynchurch* had things well under control. Log signed and replaced and the scene evacuated OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet*. TFTC! Your efforts in placing and maintaining this cache is much appreciated.

Found Smile -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *Nudge74*.
Headed up to *Port* for a quick visit of my sibling. I have been keen to tackle this series as it looked like a great drive and I hoped it to be easy so I could keep time with my estimated arrival. Even if my arrival was not quite to time I figured I could grab the remainder on the way back through. This series didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed the drive and finding the caches.
We signed the log in either our names or our initials in some switcheroo form of LP, DJJ, ToC and then returned cache to its hide'y hole exactly as found.

A big day of caching while being based at Stuarts Point had us travelling over forgotten highways as we attempted to join up from where we had stopped caching a few days ago. This is one we were able to find. Thankyou Nudge74 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area Big GrinBig Grin

No good for us. Area has been slashed around indicated GZ, and I think that may be hiding what I think is a tube.

Cheers

18-Sep-18
Hmm !!
A tricky little hide is this one Big Grin
And after noticing a good hidey hole nearby,
I got to thinking if there might be another ?? Razz

Yes !! And it contained the cache Smile
 
26-Aug-18
Struggled here until I read the log from Pprass.
This was actually the first place i went before i began looking at the gps.

Finally got there.

Thanks

Travelled down the coast to venture out with friends to wander along the old highway and some byways. We completed it over two days with ozglory joining us for the first day out and only bobbiesgirl and I on the second. Great weather both days made for 2 great days of caching. Thanks so much to both COs for placing this series for us to enjoy and remember the not Forgotten Highway!
 
25-Aug-18
Due to the weather starting to look a little ominous and traffic getting busier, we finished our day yesterday at the Valla Beach Intersection. Today, leaving ozglory behind as they had already finished the series joojoo57 and I came back today to finish it off for ourselves. This time we started at the southern end which was the obvious choice after some of yesterday's adventures Razz. Again, the generic nature of the found it logs in no way detracts from my enjoyment and appreciation of the time and effort that goes into placing these trails.

Found at 11:55 AM GAFF3 at a distance of 14 metres!
Nearly gave up on this one as we had searched around GZ which was a sign post on the edge of the road for ages. We then broadened our search area and even then we at first missed the very well concealed cache - definitely not a D of 1.5 let me tell you!
Thanks Nudge74.

Coordinates changed from:
S 30° 45.806 E 152° 53.864

Coordinates changed to:
S 30° 45.777 E 152° 53.882

Distance from original: 199.9 feet or 60.9 meters.

Cache moved to eliminate the noisy dog which so many cachers have encountered.

I think that this is a better spot to hide it anyway.

container is still the same, hint has changed.

cache co-ords have changed and so has hint

Took the trip up North today for our first bite of the Forgotten Highways series.

Another fairly quick find here in the 2nd spot we checked.
Thanks for the cache

The cache was indeed still there. The said dog was not sure if he wanted to bark or wag his tail. Loved the basketball hoop attached to the telegraph pole. Most enjoyable morning it is really great to have some caches to do without taking out a bank loan for the fuel costs. Caching with DiMorgan & Bill Big Grin. 3420 10:56:00 AM Nudge74 without cachers like you we would have no game. Thank you. TNLN SLSmile

Have made camp at Fredrickton Golf Club. We teamed up with ozglory to complete the section up to Macksville. It was a pleasant morning caching together, the extra sets of eyes were indeed helpful.
Found the cache. The dog barked but we saw nobody.
Thanks for placing this cache Nudge74

Found the cache. People over the road are not happy with all the people stopping as the lady works night shift. Suggest move it down the road away from the houses.

Thanks for placing this cache Nudge74 & Anissa288.

I know people have the right to a peaceful street, but we are also aloud to be in a public place too. If this is how the game has to be, then I may not place anymore caches to be found.

Its the dog that wakes the people up not the cachers.

I will move this cache somewhere else to keep the people happy, although I am not happy about it. if this keeps going I will archive the whole trail.
 
30-Jun-18
Cache is still where I put it.
 
29-Jun-18
