2/29 for the day. On a bit of a miserable day I really need something to keep my mind busy and cheer me up, can't beat geocaching.

A nice easy find, there is a boney cache guardian (thankfully its no longer smelly). TFTC.

Reperio 13:29

Today I headed out to Barry in search of a cache or two, and managed to find three instead. As there were still a few of TRLT caches, I started with this one. After a brief search the cache was soon discovered.

Lovely stand of trees here - shame about the animal carcass so close to the hide…. That’s life in the country, I guess. TFTC

Today I managed to find 75 Caches for the day with my friend Sui_001 & Loci612. It was an amazing day of caching. We had 2x DNFs for the day. We spent a total of 12 hours caching before I had to head home to do daddy duties. One of the highlights for the day was finding some Persons Tree Frogs near one of the caches that we found. Lots of driving to find the caches today. In fact it was 636 kms in total. I love geocaching so much and the friends I have made along the way make it all worthwhile. Thanks for all the caches and sorry for the generic log for this cache, but with 75 finds today it is hard to write a different one for each cache.

ALL CACHES FOUND TODAY WERE SIGNED DSD OR DARKSIDEDAN OR AB OR ADVENTURE BOYS. MOSTLY ALL CACHES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH LOTS OF ROOM IN THE LOGBOOK UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. THANKS FOR THE CACHE AND THE ADVENTURE. I HAVE INCLUDED SOME RAMDOM PHOTOS WITH THIS LOG. THE PHOTOS ARE NOT ABOUT THIS CACHE SO NO POINT LOOKING AT THEM THINKING THAT THEY ARE A SPOILER PHOTO.

I have included my one of a kind Geocache Poem with this log for future readers to enjoy.
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 more detailed logs than usual. This is because of a challenge provided by Project-GC called "The Author" Badge. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to write an average of one hundred words or more in each Found It log. As of 9th November 2020 my average was 160 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 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After 7600 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 160 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before this year ends. Progress has been better than anticipated.

**This Cache:**

Initially confused by the cache name with the cache at the base of a tree with not a single rock, but then spied some rocks nearby. Also some big sheep over the fence.

Thanks!

**Today:**

*ALL CACHES signed as " **AB!** " for Adventure Boys! which today included Loci612, DSD and Sui_001 to save time and space in logs, and also dated 21/6 at minimum.*

With a day off work, myself, DSD and Sui_001 decided on a daytrip to tackle a small section of the "TRLT" series, and surrounding caches. We left Canberra at 6am and got back at 6pm sharp making it a 12 hour round trip! I managed to bag 70 finds for the day, a huge amount can't remember the last time I got that many without being at a mega event anyway!

It was a very successful day, with only one DNF from memory and a couple others skipped due to having along strings of them. My favourite part was driving up Mount Macquarie with spectacular views! We visited towns such as Cowra, Woodstock, Lyndhurst, Carcoar, Blayney, Barry and Neville.

Thanks to all CO's!

ADVENTURE BOYS!

"Food was cold, the burrito was so poorly wrapped that it looks like it was just scrunched up in a ball and it fell apart whilst trying to eat it. There were no serviettes to clean up the mess created by the explosion the bad wrapping created. There was too much garlic sauce that made it even messier to clean up. I felt that the burrito artist had very little idea what an actual burrito looks like and how it's meant to function in the whole fast-food convenience world. The one saving grace was that it actually tasted like a burrito. I will not be ordering from this store again for quite some time."

Do you think you're living an ordinary life? You are so mistaken it's difficult to even explain. The mere fact that you exist makes you extraordinary. The odds of you existing are less than winning the lottery, but here you are. Are you going to let this extraordinary opportunity pass?

At that moment he had a thought that he'd never imagine he'd consider. "I could just cheat," he thought, "and that would solve the problem." He tried to move on from the thought but it was persistent. It didn't want to go away and, if he was honest with himself, he didn't want it to.

She patiently waited for his number to be called. She had no desire to be there, but her mom had insisted that she go. She's resisted at first, but over time she realized it was simply easier to appease her and go. Mom tended to be that way. She would keep insisting until you wore down and did what she wanted. So, here she sat, patiently waiting for her number to be called.

Tftc Scenic Routers, another day touring this pretty area on the road less traveled. Thanks to all involved in creating and maintaining this series.
Made the find here, all in good nick

Found you

Out for a weekend geocaching with Jondub. This was our 300th find TFTC

Found with Curloo. 300th find. Thanks for the hide.

Nicer. Tftc tnln

Easy one very sheepy

Found it didn’t have a pen though

Funny that I came up here just for the trig, but found myself in the midst of a TRLT leg. TFTC

Spent a couple of days on the road doing a pre-lockdown pandemic caching run through the central tablelands of NSW. With cold nights and beautiful days I headed for the TRLT (The Road Less Travelled) and the scattering of caches in the towns nearby.

The recent wet weather made the roads slippery at times and many of the caches had taken on some level of water... Thanks to all the CO's for your hides.

Final day of our long weekend to try and finish off the remaining TRLT series with Rapidlywild. Probably not the best time to go with rain and snow forecast, but we have never let the weather stop us before. So packed all the winter woollies, thermals, gloves and beanies and off we went.
We nearly got all the elements over the weekend even in one day snow, rain, fog, sun and wind but there was also some pleasant weather thrown in there for good measure. Roads in some places were a little hair raising but the trusty 4WD got us through safe and sound.

With permission from some of the cache owners we replaced saturated logs and on a few occasions caches.
All in all a good and successful long weekend away, lovely looking countryside and views along the way.

Thanks for the hide and adding to the fun Scenic Routers and thanks for another fun filled weekend away RWLD.

Last month, FFLL and I begun the tackle against the TRLT series and managed to get a huge chunk done. Well, we decided we wanted to get it finished so with snow on the forecast, we bit the bullet and packed the thermals and set off to have some fun. We had rain, fog, frost and even snow but it was an awesome weekend for sure We reached out to the cache owners of the ones we had to complete to inform them of our intentions and also advise that we were happy to complete replacement maintenance if required, so we came across a few that after extensive searches, we didnt locate, so we replaced as approved by the CO. A large number of replacement log sheets left along the way also to assist with the caches with soggy log books.

Lots of places visited across the weekend, including lots of old churches and old cemeteries across the land.

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

Found at 12:43 PM GAFF1.
Of all the places that these sheep can roam around in their massive paddocks they have to congregate right against the fence right in front of GZ - are they pointing us to something?
Thanks Scenic Routers.

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

We based ourselves in quaint Neville and did some of the TRLT caches and loved the variety of hides. The countryside is looking awesome and we enjoyed the rural location and wonderful views. Thanks to opted-out user for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

On a Geocaching trip from Canberra with Kittykatch and barb2e caching as Capital Crunchers. Been a lovely time away escaping the very smoky conditions at home. Lovely to be learning about the history and seeing the sights. It’s been hot but not too bad

We Have set up camp at the showgrounds to cpmplete another section of the RLT.
The country roads are very quiet today met about 2 cars in the 100k that we did.
We did a very long morning touring the many country roads, very dry & dusty.
Thankyou for placing this cache Scenic Routers

O319 and I have headed off for 3 days of caching. Mainly targeting TRLT and "history of" caches.

Found with sjg66 on a three day TRLT and "History of" blitz. 220 caches over 1100kms. Lots of great scenery, but also lots of dust as it is all so dry out here at the moment. Thanks to all the CO's for hiding and maintaining these caches.

Sheep didn't seem to care I was there lol TFTC

Hatzofff and I are in Bathurst for a few weeks house sitting, and of course have time for lots of caching. Today we journey to find more TRLT plus caches to the south west.

The cache may have been at a rocky location, but this road is just something else! Good road for a gravel track! Loving it!

Log signed and replaced as found on 5.6.2019 at 1.05 pm. TFTC, Scenic Routers.

Caching to day in the area.

Quick easy find.

They are indeed interesting rocks. Similar shapes, although much bigger, in outback Australia are wonderful ton clamber over, although that's not possible here.Tftc!

This was our sixth and last day of seeking out caches on this mega long geocaching trail. The weather today was once again perfect, with hardly any wind and lots of nice warm sunshine. We did end up having to miss out a big chunk of the trail as just before GC7TRQ6 a halt was put to our progress on finding the forest road closed to all vehicles due to some very active logging going on (we had suspected as much on the way to the forest having become very aware of a large number of massive logging trunks both entering and leaving the forest). We therefore had to turn back and miss out the next big loop, instead picking up the trail again at GC7V5KD. Never mind, all worked out at the end of the day as we then got to do a chunk of the trail that we hadn't expected to have time to travel along. Once again we loved the scenery and the truly beautiful countryside the roads less travelled took us through. Who knows, maybe on a future visit to Australia we might get to travel along the currently "not yet found" sections of the trail? 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 on this lovely quiet road and greetings from Zimbabwe

Thanks for easy find sheep watching every move found with Loney ra

Another trip around TRLT series to do the latest few sections.
Some of the roads are VMLT (Very Much less travelled) and that's a good thing.
Mainly good safe hides and nice quick finds.
Thanks for the cache and the series Scenic Routers,

Camped at Lyndhurst for a few days. Out today to do some of TRLT series that have gone down since we were here last. Thirty four for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC

Day 2 - Travelling TRLT with oldmorty and marj01.
(Log signed OMF to save space).
TRLT caches: found - 43, DNF - 2.
Other caches found - 56, DNF - 3.
Thanks to Scenic Routers 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.

A quick, but rocky, cache find here

Our second big day around Bathurst. Again J+J.AU and me are fit to tackle the TRLT trail and all other caches on our route. Really great, but warm weather again made for an exhausting day. Enjoyed all the fantastic views on this scenic trip. Thanks to all the cache owners for puttinh them out there!

Out on a lovely Sunday afternoon drive in the countryside with no real plan on where we were going.
Decided on grabbing some more TRLT caches as we went.
This one was being guarded by a mob of sheep.

Find 6150 logged from c:geo.

Thank you so very very much for this awesome series that is showing us around with minimal bitumen. Absolutely loving it. This paddock was full of sleeping rams that were a little disgruntled at us stopping so close. We needed them to move anyway. Thank you for the cache.

It was time for a big weekend caching, so I was joined by Fitzy_1965 and MinnieK for two days to tackle the new TRLT caches just East of Bathurst, This part of the trip went smoothly. I also managed to squeeze in a few more on the day after whilst traveling between the rain on Monday.

Thanks.

Headed out for a weekend of caching with fitzy_1965 and Albida33 to collect all the new sections of TRLT series and a few caches in-between. Signed as AMF for the weekend.

Made Trunkey Creek showground our base camp for two nights and cached our way around the area from there.

All caches found quickly unless otherwise stated.

16,718. Found with minniek and albida33 on a fantastic run around the area over 2 days.

When we saw the new sections of TRLT Series published we made them a priority to do asap. Having cached around the region many times and knowing how beautiful it is we were really looking forward to it. Drove up last night and we camped at the Trunkey Creek Showground. Headed out first thing this morning for a big days caching. This was the next of many caches. Quick find once at GZ. A kind local stopped to see if we were OK. Signed the log, replaced the cache and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks Scenic Routers !! We appreciate your contribution to this great series !

TNLN - TFTC !! Apologies for the generic logs :-

On a road trip with EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer grabbing these new TRLT caches. This was an enjoyable trail with good hides and decent containers at GZ. Thanks to all the COs for going to the effort of placing these caches. Eye of the tiger?

We started from the northern end and finished around Barry. We even passed another group of cachers heading in the opposite direction! The road was a little more travelled today. TFTC

This one didn't put up much of a fight. Had it down on the mat in no time. Total KO. TFTC

An easy find here, some were a little more challenging, but all were found pretty quickly.

One of over 200 caches found this long weekend whilst enjoying a fantastic few days away camping and caching with friends. Big thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment of what turned out to be an awesome weekend! We particularly enjoyed stage 3 of TRLT and loved the ones around the Mt Macquarie area. Stunning views today! TFTC Scenic Routers!
Cheers,

Another month – another souvenir. Many thanks to the CO’s who provided the caches and an enjoyable day out.

A fine sunny day – perfect to chase up a few caches. We enjoyed our wander round the back roads and are grateful for those who provided the caches.

The hunt continues for caches in TRLT series as we enjoyed another tour for the day along lovely country roads and byways. We found all the caches that we looked for and each log had our name noted as having been found by us. All caches were in good condition. Many thanks to Scenic Routers for adding to this series.

Evening session resulted in 17 more finds in this series. Signed and replaced. Thanks for all the new caches in the area.
