Spider Cache #1 Valley Heights, New South Wales, Australia
By TeamTrashy on 11-Nov-21. Waypoint GC9J9GA

GPS consistently took us to the middle of the road. We looked on both sides of the road, but just couldnt get a read closer than 6metres, unless we stood on the centre road line.

DNF revenge on this one today. We had CIH quickly this time. I have no idea how I missed it last time. TFTC

#14845 16:05After finding Spider Cache #2 and #3, we also had to find #1. That was not too difficult.OCW GoogleHiHi, Brewmaker and Everest High.TFTC TeamTrashy.

Yes there were spider webs. We cleaned them out for now. OCW ID, BM & GHHH. TFTC Team Trashy

Tricky to get out of home but I did it. TFTC

Found signed ljb not exactly sure what the clue is tho

Thank you TeamTrashy. That was tougher than expected. Got some help from the friendly neighbour. Geoson and I will continue with the series.

As I expected once before but it was hidden just that little bit extra. Thanks to the CO for confirmation its still in play, thanks for the challenge

Headed out to check on this one - its still in place. Have increased difficulty to 2.

Had another good look, this time one of your locals at no.32 , neighbouring resident assisted with the search but we both couldnt find it. A delightful fellow, I reckon he is a geocacher inside, just needs to get out.He showed me where he thought it was but maybe its changed. Anyway please check if its still here

No such luck

Enjoying my geocaching adventures. Another find somewhere new. My geohusband brought me here for practicing my skills. That was difficult to find, thanks TeamTrashy

Tftc. Coordinates have it on the wrong side of the road for me, took a much wider search to find it. Nice hiding spot though. Found with red_ear_slider

Found with Portstevo on our Easter weekend Blue Mountains adventure! Bit off coords but Portstevo found it, onwards towards Springwood! Tftc

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Deep in up corner so we photo it.

Good hint haha, TFTC!

Excellent hide, took a while until I read the hint and got it. For some reason Google maps thinks the cache is in the middle of the road.

What a hide, we couldn’t locate it the other night briefly so tried again in daylight. More possibilities to search, presto!

Replacement log blank so added my name

Nope.

Indeed the cache was missing. Hint has been updated and cache replaced

Looked everywhere, couldn’t find it.

Couldn't find this one today !

80th Road trip back out west towards Bathurst and Oberon. Growing up in the Blueis (Winmalee, Springwood, Valley Heights) means caching is a great way to revisit old stomping grounds. Added scrap paper. I remember when the artwork was done and located at the bus stop outside Springwood station. Grow up a few doors down from George Finey (Artist). Glad to see some of his works still surviving.
JABs.

Log is missing will need to be replaced

I found this cache a few days ago but I had no pen with me on my morning walk. I did try and look for it a week ago but I gave up as I didn't want to stay there too long. I probably would have seen the ftf people in the mad rush if they came in the morning many months ago. I hardly analyse the geocaching map these days for local caches. I think when I did the new cache near my place is when I noticed another cache close by. That is when I realised I walk past the location most days only a few metres from the cache. TFTC

Easy little park and grab. The cache is in good condition, signed and replaced. Thanks Team Trashy for placing the cache. Have taken the clue for the next adventure.

Great find! Very fishy!

Quick park and grab! Safe and dry! TfTC

We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Hoping to collect the latest GFA puzzle & Wherigo caches around Luddenham & Wallacia, a leftover WGA puzzle cache at Warragamba, some leftover PGA puzzle caches at Penrith, two Adventure Labs in the lower Blue Mountains, plus any other caches we happen upon during our travels.

When we booked the holiday cabin a month ago there was no predictions of the flooding rains that the area was to experience during the past week, so we are unsure of exactly what of the previously planned caching locations will actually be accessible on this trip. This was our 5th find of the day (day 2), and 15th find of the holiday.

On our way up the mountains to start an Adventure Lab at Valley Heights we stopped off at this cache along the way. Arrived at GZ and made a super quick find of the fishy cache, then found the spidey cache. TNLNSL, noted down the clue, then replaced as found. TFTC TeamTrashy, it was a cute twist for a Traditional cache.

Find #5380

#8672 (14 of 15 today - including 5 Adventure Labs)

Headed up the mountains today as the calendar gods are twitchy, and the rain gods are flooding everything near home.
Checking the BOM Radar, I hoped the mountains might be dryer - didn't quite work out, but could have been worse.

Found ten - as well as five Adventure Lab locations - but one DNF and a "looked from a dryer spot but saw nothing" kept me from having a perfect day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked close - ooh a dry spot to search for once - and quickly spotted... erm. OK. Ah, there it is... Yes!

Inked the log, replaced all as found and off to one last target.

Oh, and grabbed the clue for the final.

We needed a park and grab today to earn the souvenir on offer so this cache fitted the bill. We ventured out early to beat the rain. Once we worked out what side of the road to be on the cache was soon spied. Loved the camo. TFTC

#6,067

Lunchtime find for my second find for the day. I waited until there was a break in the rain and ducked out.

Without looking at the GPS I went to wrong spot first, then, when I found nothing, looked at the screen, looked up the road and realised there was a second one I’d never noticed before. Quick find once I was at the right spot.

And I made it back home just as the rain started up again, so feeling extra happy that I managed to stay dry

Namaste

Easy Find. ..... Hang on. Something's not right. I wandered and wondered, then around and had another easy find (sounds like a great name for a cache). Well done, TeamTrashy. Good sense of humour. TFTC

Excellent first hide. Fooled me at my first attempt. Thanks to the CO and a previous finder for helping me on the right track. TFTC

Streak Day #3132 - Up this way with Dave8153, quick find after finding the non cache. TFTC

6 February 2022
This is find number: 5929
Streak Day: 2243

Found today with Snoopy1976, a quick and easy find after finding the red herring 1st. Thanks

Thanks to TeamTrashy for placing and maintaining this cache.

Caching with oldmorty on our way up the mountains.
Not sure which side of the road to look but went to the more obvious spot.
TFTC TeamTrashy

Grabbed this one with frazeydaze on our way to Blackheath. Once on the right side of the road it was a quick find for frazey.

Thanks for hiding this cache TeamTrashy

Thanks guys . Easy cache.

Parked close by. Quickly found. Signed and replaced. Tftc

Nice easy find. Sometimes it’s easier to just let the Geo kids explore. Geoson did a way better job of finding than me.

Spider cache,
Spider cache,
Does whatever a Spider cache does,
Does he swing from a Web,
No he doesn't cause he's a cache,
He's Spider cache

Found while out caching early with WaywardWoman. A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

#6112- A quick find while out and about with thomo31. Easy for her but a stretch for me. Thanks

Nice and easy find...though I did have to put my glasses on to see if something was real...or not. TFTC

Easy find thanks

Choices choices....nice quick find

We have crafted the name of the cache back on.

I expanded my search area to the other side of the road and made the find. Then the GPS settled!?! Sadly the name of the cache has fallen off.

TFTC.

Ok l’ll see if l can fix it soon

Tftc - nice easy find, now onto the final!
