Found with minniek and the rest of Team CC24 (Canberra Canoeists 2024).Day 2 of our Colo River Region Caching Adventure. After an amazing days caching yesterday mainly on the river, it was time for some bushwalking for caches today. The main aim were the Challenges and Yin Yang series (or at least as many as we had solved). This area was our start point of the day. Nice quick find. Signed, returned, and we continued on our way to the next one.Thanks ilook4geo !! I'll be checking my stats for these ones.

It is now Sunday and we (the group who had driven up from Canberra) allowed ourselves a bit of a sleep in after the kayak adventure on the Colo River yesterday. It wasn't much of a sleep in though as there are just so many caches up here to be found - some of the mysteries having already been solved at home. The day dawned sunny and very humid, which didn't bode well for some of the hilly walks. However we were blessed with 100% finds of the caches that we targeted. This was one of them and the logs were all signed as CC24 (Canberra Crew) to save space.Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these cachesSmittengranny](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Smittengranny) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8V3BW/52139 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

We started the day walking a trail of challenges, before moving on to ying yang puzzles. Our group consisted of kittykatch, joolay, contesta, MinnieK, Fitzy, search4, Aykayem, smittengranny, FurfacesLL, loci, Nibletricecakes, Gliss, TikvaNZ, sacada and myself. We signed as CC24 (Canberra Canoeists 2024) as our group name to represent all cachers.A nice walk through the bush for the challenge caches. The cicadas were loud, oh so loud at times! But a good series and a stunning view out over the colo River we had paddled from the morning before from the trad at the end.With our walk complete, we convoyed from cache to cache mostly doing the ying yang puzzles solved. A ferry crossing saw the last cacher cross, but the ferry sat on the other side chatting to the one car returning and after a long time waiting we turned and went of caching our own way unable to cross. Later, we crossed elsewhere only to meet up with the group returning!!! A warm day and the walks become too much for me with hills, a great day (Weekend) though and time to return home. A great area to visit and cache, thanks for your cache!
Spending some time caching around the NSW/ACT southern tablelands with lots of side trips. TFTC.Another day around the hills of Colo River collecting challenges, solved puzzles and traditionals.A great day out with the Canberra Crew signing as CC24. It was hot & exhausting with lots of bush walks over many hills. Wonderful scenery. A long convoy of cars carrying kayaks. Awesome.Many great puzzles that are well thought out. Many to still solve.[sacada](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=sacada) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8V3BW/52139 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.OK: AND{User has 1781 finds (400 needed) Filters:( types (Unknown Cache) )User has 1143 finds (200 needed).Filters:( types (Unknown Cache) ) Field: favorite_points, min: 2}
Found on a day out this way, doing some of the Yin Yang series, challenge caches and whatever else came our way. OCW with 4Rods, EverestHigh and Its_Dozzie, we managed to survive the heat, the hills, the bush and deafening cicadas. A few goannas were spotted as well, and we enjoyed the scenery in the many places we visited.You don't often find a mint tin in the bush, but we did today. TFTC

Considering the rain I had experienced earlier in the day it was a rain free and pleasant walk to get these caches. The cache was found and the log signed so i accept the challenge.
A great day exploring the region with ESCR. We just selected caches and walks that looked interesting to get a feel for the area and ended up collecting a decent number. Bulk logging, so will write note now and check qualification later. TFTC!
Spending a few days in the area for some hikes and a paddle down the Colo river. A beautiful part of the world. TFTFun!
Sydney to Melbourne Meander. Day Two: Windsor to Cessnock (wrong direction, I know).Weather: SensationalOne of nine caches found along this fire trail this afternoon. A lovely walk along the fire trail, its fairly flat, and so peaceful after 24 hours of Sydney traffic. No wildlife seen!There are a lot of mind bending puzzles in Adelaide that I cant find the time for to sit down and solve, but Ive made up for that with challenge caches, which I do enjoy.

Hmm, probably my most unfavourite of the walk.

But I did find it. Hooray my challenge for today is completed, well almost, just the walk back. Which was easy. The campers I passed had gone when I passed their campsite.I wouldn't like to do this walk in the heat of summer. TFTC and the series of Challenge caches. I enjoyed the walk.

I was out along the ridges above the Colo River today with Mighty Minions, lee737, Samuel737 and Oliver737. I'm still over a hundred mystery caches short of qualifying for this one, although I do have the required number with 2+ FPs, but at least my signature's now in the logbook. Many thanks for the challenge and hide.
Under beautiful skies I made the most of my day off work to bag a plethora of caches in the Windsor / Colo area. It was one of those days where I drove past more caches than I found, but I went with specific mindset of finding caches that helped improve my D/T rating.
Thanks to all the CO's for your hides, I had a great day either in the bush or by the river.

Today was a road trip around the Hawkesbury area. An ambitious list of caches to find as I set myself a target of reaching 10,000 finds by year end. Covid-19 lockdown put a spanner in the works and I now have only two months to find the remaining 200+ caches. So rather than interesting caches, I had to schedule a day in the car and go for quantity, rather than quality.

Getting out of the house for some exercise and decided to walk along North Turnbull Fire Trail and out to Morans Rock Fire Trail to take in the views. Stopped off at this cache for a cache check for the CO after the recent backburning operations several weeks ago. Backburning operations on the opposite side of the track, cache in good condition.
Organising my saved list of Challenge caches in NSW. Looking forward to eventually finding these caches.

The incentive for today's trip in the rain was to qualify for the challenge of getting 5 cache types in a day which needed to include a large and coincided with the McQuade Park CITO which offered the "other" type.
This was my third trip along these fire trails so I knew what to expect. Even though there was nothing more than a heavy drizzle, I was soaked to the bone by the time I got back to the car. All containers and logs were dry and in good condition.

The team was out today on a little road caching trip to celebrate our 4000th find, so headed down the Putty Rd and into the Blue Mountains. We found the required 15 caches, and managed a handful of trigs as well to poise ourself at 3999 for the main event (in the rain it seems) tomorrow....
The last one, good, as the team was flagging in the (surprising) heat. It was just getting over 30 degrees, but our winter softened carcasses were feeling it! With a micro in the scrub, we deployed the hint on approach! TFTC!

Weird idea for a challenge. Like most along ere though the d&T where a bit undercooked.

Thought I had done all these but looks like I signed them but didn't log them at the time so needed a walk anyway. A quick find was made here

On a day out in search of my sanity. Hoping to find many moderate sized caches as the thought of any sanity i possess hiding in micro containers gives the impression of how little I have left.
Thanks for the cache.

Made an early morning trip out to these Colo to collect these challenges. Lovely cool and clear morning and an easy walk. Enjoyed all the hides which were all in excellent order.
For the record as of today I had found 1033 Unknown or Mystery caches.

#7165 (6 of 10 today)
Another day that just calls out for more calendar finds.
I've been eyeing the growing challenge trail near the Colo River with interest. I know I qualify for every one except the *WhereIGo Challenge* (not even close). As I don't sign unqualified challenge caches on the basis I might qualify one day, that's ten caches I can get in one walk including the nearby traditional. SOLD!
Got all ten I went for, but two required a PAF - well text, actually, as I had major connection issues here - thanks Optus. Great walk with a top view at the end.

Knew I had the required number of finds, but had no clue re the favourite criteria. Needn't have worried as I was well over, as I discovered when I ran the checker.
Another quick find in the logical spot, so signed, replaced and headed for the lookout.
