My apologies now for the repeated logs, this is after all a power trail of sorts, and as with my own, dont expect lengthy individual logs.Anything of note will be written at the end of the log.Needed some quality me time to help get my head into gear, so as the Geomissus has taken a two week interlude with the geodaughter in Victoria, I decided to take the opportunity to head out into the lesser travelled areas near the places I worked in many years ago, and also to gobble up some series I had been working on in the last few months. But on the way, also spend some extra time in my favourite location, the bush!This Power trail was actually just a warm up for my main target in Bathurst, around Peel Common, and actually only spotted this series by chance! The entire circuit was much longer than the 25-30k I anticipated, and was more like 50 by the geoAstra. What did really surprise me was the amount of traffic on the road, precisely what I was not expecting. The first few hides were tricky to pull over as they are doing a great deal of road work in that area, and a couple of others that I avoided as I was just a bit uncomfortable pulling of the road in those spots. But thats ok, had a nice visit to an area Ive not visited, but have been in the area having run 6 foot track many times!My favourite area by far was Sandy Hook, where I pulled up to have a refreshment break. No traffic there!

Lovely spot to check out a cache

Nice quick find at the Cox.

Tftc

Nice little spot. Would be a good spot for a picnic

Easy find TFTC

Easy find nice location

I've had a love of the Cox's River and the western Blue Mountains area for a long time, so meandering through these back roads which hug the water courses and ridges was a perfect way to spend a morning in the Blue Mts.
Recent rains and run-off made some of these caches very hard to find as they were buried under sediment, while some of the roads were like outback 4WDriving.
Thanks for placing this series

We are back to enjoy another drive in this beautiful area and collect some caches. Many thanks for the caches here.

This is such a lovely area to explore. We took lots of photos and found some caches. Thanks Pandsa for an enjoyable day out and for your caches.

Easy find, river is up and flowing well. TFTC

Easy find. Thanks

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 are travelling from Emu Plains to Oberon, with stop-offs at Medlow Bath and Blackheath for some caches and Antique Shop browsing, and will be taking the Coxs River Road route from Little Hartley to collect some of the "Coxs River Roads Rambling" cache series. This was our 18th find of the day (day 3), and 50th find of the holiday.

Continuing along the Coxs River Road and this one was next, and it was another nice quick find beside the fast flowing Coxs River. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC pandsa.

Decided we needed some numbers today and thought this trail would be easy but with long grass and some slightly wonky coords at times, it was slower going than we hoped so we pulled at the half way point and will be back for a more focussed visit later.

This one was a little tricky as it wasn’t in what we thought was the obvious spot. Beware of the red ants all over the cache. TNLN TFTC

Magic spot

Cache was missing. Here with previous finder, confirmed where they found it. Previous reads DNF. Cache replaced with bits and pieces I had in the car.

Looks as though there has been a new container placed. Thanks

DNF. I think this one might need to be replaced. You can see where I’m assuming it’s supposed to be but there’s nothing there anymore

A beautiful spot by the river. When we were doing 1 to 18 of this series back in 2019 this one was missing. Back here today to try to complete the rest of the series. Success this time.

Found

Heading west today and decided to get off the highway for a while and grab a few caches along this trail. I parked nearby and after a short search the cache was in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

There is some great views to be had of the cliffs of the Blue Mountains.
No problems with any found today.

Dodging the showers today to complete this rambling road. Great set of caches. This one was a bit trickier, but loved the cache. Had to dodge the turtles crossing the road. TFTC.

Quick find Thanks, Really lovely spot by the river

Nice spot to see the river, again thank you for placing them and showing us the area

It is our last day here, and as the ladies went to high tea, we went caching, and decided on the Coxs River Road. We had a great time touring the area, picking up 25 of the Coxs, plus a few unrelated, plus a trig and a cool GA movable. We've left enough for another adventure next time we're here! Thanks for placing this series in this picturesque area.
I actually spotted something out of place immediately, but missed the cache. We weren't far from a DNF when a recheck came up with the goods! TFTC!

Found today on a pretty big cache drive through the Coxs River Road. Awesome cache!!!


TFTC

Good one

Found a likely hide but no cache. Others have said tricky so maybe not our day ️

Had a really good look, but found nothing. Not sure how small it is, so i may have just missed it.

tftc

Couldn’t find this one!!
We searched so hard all 10 of us.
We looked through the clues. Pictures. But still no help.
Loved the creek. So lucky to be locals to this part of the world.

Reperio 12:40

Headed to the Blue Mountains this weekend to visit family, and given that geocaching is now back on the menu after a month and half off, I decided to take the youngest out for a drive and pick up a few of this series!

This was the last one for the day, and we had to pick it up on the return trip as there were a couple of cars parked at GZ, with families getting ready for a walk.

Wonderful scenic drive, and the weather was perfect.

Gratias pandsa

Nearly got tricked!!! Thought it wasn’t here, but a re check of gz & we found it! Nice spot, the Cox River was flowing! This makes find 3000 for us. Woohoo
Thanks for being part of our milestone & TFTC pandsa xo

We camped at the Wallace Lakes rest area with the caravan, found a spot where we would not get bogged in with the copious rain we had experienced. This morning dawned foggy but with signs the sun would make an appearance. We started early and loved the scenic route we were taken on in finding the caches on this series. We saw many things including frogs, raging streams, kangaroos plus distant views of the mountains. Most caches were found after a short search though there were a couple we could not find. Thanks to pandsa for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found. TFTCM

Second of three late afternoon finds of this series whilst heading out to work. I wasn't too keen to stick my had in there through. Will knock off a few each time I pass through. Many thanks pandsa

An early morning start and very smoky. Al to try and finish the Cox river series.
Really enjoyed the roads picked despite limited views. Heaps of kangaroos and even a wombat this morning. All caches were found quick and easy.

Today it was decided to take a run along this trail with ilook4geo. There we found a variety of containers in different types of hides and we enjoyed finding each one. The logs were mostly small in size, so were signed with both lots of initials. Thanks go to pandsa for creating this series. The views we had were mostly of smoke but we enjoyed the drive anyway.

It was fun rambling along the roads and finding this series of caches with goingplaces2. Views were very smokey, but we enjoyed the day. Thanks for this cache and the whole trail.

Lovely part of the country. TFTC

On my way to meet up with geobuddies for a weekend of caching and camping i left home alot earlier to make a start on this trail.The drive was great with some really amazing views along the way,I started out slowly but once I found my mojo I was soon cruising along,some hides trickier then others but still able to find all that I stopped to look for today thanks to top coords and hints.
A great series and drive
Thanks pandsa for setting up this series and thanks for the cache

Found tyftc. Spending a day driving this trail after 3 days of state tennis tourn. Mother nature is just beautiful. Trying to beat a local geo to 1500 finds before dec 31.

Found

19,260. Found during a weekend caching meander with minniek and GLISS!, and an awesome time was had.

Our first aim was to do the Coxs River Road series, and we finally hit the trail at about 11:00. This was the next one, and it was quickly found once at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then we headed off to the next one.

Thanks pandsa !!

Headed north for a caching weekend away with fitzy_1965 & GLISS!

Another quick find out along here today thanks.

Quick find lovely spot

This morning we decided to head down Coxs River Road and look for some of the caches as we made our way to Oberon. It was bitterly cold and windy but at least it wasn't raining.

Accurate coordinates, the hint and the cache out in the open led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. We assume that a grumpy animal kicked the cache out. We replaced it and covered it with natural camo before leaving. Thanks pandsa for the cache and the series.

Found this one on the way home from Lithgow today and while hunting caches for the MOTM challenge.
TFTC and the drive in an area I may never of bothered to go.
There was another couple here when I arrived but were just leaving. Think they were just having lunch.

Hidden too well for me

Great hide. This was on ground so signed and replaced in better hidden spot.

Yup, still rambling. Tftc

A quick and easy find. A lovely day for driving, and caching. Cheers

We are spending some time driving from Katoomba to Bathurst. A nice place to be, a few caches here and there, and a wee bit of driving fun too! In the smaller log sheets we signed as MK+KR to save space.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

After spending yesterday crawling through Tuglow cave, today was the slow and weary trip back home. With sore muscles and bruises, climbing out and back in the car several times to find a trail of caches was exhausting. But at least it was another 6 degrees warmer outside than it was on Friday when i started this trail.
Thanks for the cache.

Out for a few caches which have gone down since we were here last. Took nothing left nothing, Cache all good, good coordinates. 17 for the day. TFTC
