#13738 12:30OCW Martin Cousins, Everest High and Brewmaker to tackle the Cox River Roads Rambling with a few additional caches on our way from and back to Sydney.We drove through some great rural countryside. Even in cloudy weather it looked pretty. TFTC

Found with EverestHigh, Martin Cousins, and Its_Dozzie. We decided to venture out to this trail. Signed as BM, EH, ID, and MC.We were not stumped by this find. TFTC

OCW Everest High, Its_Dozzie, Brewmaker along the Cox River Road, had me stumped at first , then spied the correct one. Great views again

Easy

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!

Another easy find while admiring the view

Found with outdoorfun23 but couldn’t retrieve cache. Appears to have fallen through to bottom of stump.

Found, however was unable to sign as the container had become unattached and was deep in the stump

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

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.

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

Tried to finish off the Cox's Road Rambling series which I had started yesterday. Most attempted were found and in good condition but had about 3 DNFs for various reasons, addressed in the individual logs.

Another couple were not attempted due to timing constraints. Really enjoyed this series on another magic day for enjoying the scenery. TFTC and for placing and maintaining this series pandsa.

Nice!! TFTC

A fantastic series in beautiful countryside. Thanks for making this power trail. TFTC.

Back out for. Round two. But this. Time. With our trusty Garmin etrax 10. Last time the phone had us Running all over the place. Such a beautiful area and an amazing drive. T. Tftc

#Found it

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.

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.

Ha ha ha awesome cache. Love sone counrty humour. Fav from me. Love your series Pandsa TFTC

On my way home from a weekend away camping I was back to chip away at the rest of this series,the first section was great so I was looking forward to getting back into it and this also didn't disappoint,a really enjoyable afternoon a caching with some top scenery along the way!
Thanks pandsa for the cache,this one was cute

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.

19,234. 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!

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. 27 for the day. TFTC

On way back to Sydney today near the end of our current geocaching holiday in Australia we couldn't resist diverting off the main highway to undertake this trail of caches. We are so glad we did as we found ourselves on a very scenically beautiful drive on a road less travelled. 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 and a favourite point awarded for the excellent container - very nice indeed! Greetings from Zimbabwe

Love the container. Only one of us would retrieve it.

Gave myself the late morning and the rest of the afternoon to tackle this series. I had a couple of DNFs, one probably cache blindness and the other two for other reasons. Thanx for the series

Here on the ramble,
at this cache stop,
*it* finally happened [:o]
Me cache vision was back

After a few slow finds,
this cache almost ran out of the scenery,
and jumped into me hands

TFTC while CRRRing

Off early for a long weekend of caching.
Thanks for the warning, have a FP
Thanks for the cache

On my way to stay with family at White Rock I took a slight diversion to visit the Coxs Road caches. There was some lovely views, beautiful Aussie bush and fun caches. Most caches were found fairly quickly, thanks to the generous hints, others took a little longer and required reading previous logs which I found most helpful. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks for placing and maintaining this trail pandsa.

Finished off series today. Nice cool weather for a drive around this scenic area. Tftc

made a chance today to return and nail the rest of the mini series , some of the caches on this recent end the coords are a wee bit dodgy, some 13 to 15mts out (the one that comes straight to mind is a hanger in a oine tree 13mts is a lot when in a clump of pines [8]) but i found it in under 3 minutes)
Thanx to you for the effort put into the series in top country side
cheers from the Routers

is there another 10 for next weekend , i hope so [^]

#5,782

Sorry about the generic logs for this series, but I didn't log these soon after we did them & I've now lost my notes for each cache.

It was a lovely Sunday, perfect for a drive in the country. We spent the morning driving along the route and enjoyed our day. All caches found with no problem.

Thanks for placing this series.

Namaste

Found with WaywardWoman. Loved the cache. A fav from me.

#4886- Out caching early with thomo31- this is one of those caches that you think you know what it means, then you get there and realise that's not the only thing. Very cool! A favourite from me!

Easy find, was about to have a P when I heard the only car we saw on this road approaching....

Loved the 'camo', and the large ants nest nearby. We used to have a nest like that in primary school, and we used to slide through it for fun. Today 'they' would spray the nest.

I left the dog in the car based on the warning in the hint. I’m glad I did as I found some still on me at the next cache. Their bites weren’t bad thank goodness. Fun container.

TFTC.

Thanks for placing this interesting series of caches pandsa. I enjoyed reading the brief history of the Parishes of Hartley, Kanimbla and Ganbenang especially the connection with the Zig Zag Track where I had recently logged two other caches on the escarpment. Loved the rolling hills, green pastures, winding country roads and, of course, the fantastic views. Undertook the searches jointly with Forereach (and Mrs Forereach) and we came across hardly any traffic or muggles during the day. This was a FTF for us. How did joshwa27 manage to miss it?? Loved the "ant guardian" at this cache. What a great day out. Please excuse the generic posts - its hard to be creative for each cache in such a large series!!

We spent a great day with my brother (Dogwood53) caching in the Kanimbla Valley, overcast sure, but the rain fortunately held off. Returned to finish off the rest of Pandsa’s “Coxs River Road Ramble” series and enjoy the stunning views across the valley. Jointly claim the first to find on this one. TFTC
