The container was out in the open so quickly spotted. We covered it up as best we could after signing the log. TFTC.
Today was a drive down to Wollombi and picking up what we can along the way. An overcast cool day, but still enjoyable. Not sure how we would vote, but either way, the road needs some work, only one nice smooth stretch.Total Caches Found 16177TFTC techsavvy9
Found at 12:57 PM GAFF1.Well now this was an easy find as the cache was totally exposed - just sitting pretty atop a pile of rocks Do you replace as found? Ha! - that's the fallacy to that stupid line.Thanks to techsavvy9
Luckily no cars behind me so I could stop without issue. A quick find and then back on the road between increasing traffic.TNLNSL.TFTC ...
Found - thank you for these caches on a lovely country road. Found on a lovely day geocaching with CO.
Easy find on the way home to Laguna

I am gradually catching up with my logging - I'm missing two months worth or so. And that's over 100 caches! At least my most recent finds are up to date - just need to fill in the gap!
To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...
Only a few Adventure Labs and my First2Finds have been written up in a timely manner - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
Nevertheless, I have kept up with my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, I just have to put my mind to my future goals... 25 per day? Owwww.
Thanks to all the CO's who have made it possible to keep my goal in sight. Most of the finds have been Traditionals, but a few Puzzle series and the odd other cache type have been grabbed where possible.
Sorry the logs are very generic, but I'll never catch back up otherwise.
###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###
Headed up to the Hunter for a real cache binge today. Many were little more than park and grabs, but I was glad to snaffle a few Multis and a bonus for the AL.
Final count for the day - 20. Top haul on a pleasant day out.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Quick find, sign and replace.

Out in Cessnock today to find some Adventure Labs and caches, and after completing the nearby AL bonus cache, we made a start on this series. Very wet and muddy, but still had a good time.

After orienteering in Kitchener this morning I came for a drive to find caches to complete climb the peak for the month. A quick find. TFTC
I’m sure that when I was young my testicles were “tight”. I never looked at shows like “Botched” and thought I needed a quick scrotum tuck or someone to lipo my rocks.
Now that I am middle aged I need to take a bit more care. Apparently I have a pair of caching pants with a split in an unfortunate spot. Now that my testicles hang down to my knees I can’t be man-splaining on every corner (or cache that I come to). tftc

We came out to Millfield today to do some of the caches in this series. All were easy to find and in good condition. Thanks for bringing us out here, TFTC!
Doing some caching in the Hunter Valley region with illook4geo today and enjoying the caches and the views that the area has to offer. The container and log here were in good condition, with the log being signed with either both full names or sometimes just initials. Thanks go to techsavvy9 for placing this cache.
Out caching with goingplaces2 and enjoying the day. This was an easy find. TFTC.
Maitland Day 4, camped at the showgrounds.
As the others headed to complete the dogs head we headed south to Cessnock then continued through to Hillfield & Wollombi. We had a couple of AL to do & a variety of caches to find.
We enjoyed our drive into the countryside away from the bustle of the city & cars.
We did well only the last cache of the day having a DNF
Thankyou techsavvy9 for placing this cache.

Found on a lovely afternoon caching.....
Most of the caches have 2 logs in them making it a bit of a tight squeeze for some of them to fit back in!

A quick find on the way back home to the Central Coast after doing the new Adventure Lab at Wollombi. Thanks for the hide techsavvy9, and for helping to make our day out in the sun such an enjoyable one.
We saw the Lucky Mountain sign. The cache was not where I first looked but soon found anyway. Thanks Techsavvy for the hide.
Cache has been replaced. Today my GPS was 6-10m different from the original reading.
I’ve checked and I can’t find the cache but the rocks are there that covered it. I’ll come back hopefully tomorrow and replace it.
Found with littlemissleft and littlemisslonglegs
Nice quick find
Thanks for the cache

We came up to Hunter Valley for a few days of food and wine. Of course a visit to the region is not complete without doing some of the caches in the area.
On our third day in the area I was granted time to do some geocaching. Starting in Cessnock, I wanted to follow the road to Millfield and Wollombi, with a nice selection of caches along the way.
Thanks for the mini power trail, techsavvy9!
