By Patogenic on 28-Aug-22. Waypoint GC9Z445

Last one for the trail, beautiful little spot, the small agapanthers are a really nice touch here. Thank you for this powertrail, it has brought me to somewhere i have never been and it is a beautiful place.

Found by leone crime family , huge! TFTC

What a neat little part of the country this is. A great trail here. Found as I meandered through. Thanks for highlighting an unknown area to me.

300th find, WOHOO!!!

Thanks

Need a new scroll

After coming in the hard way I found it. Tftc

Quickly found it and got out, March flies were attacking my legs! Tftc.

No cache here, so far these have been very accurate.We had a spare on board and this is the time to deploy it.We have taken this opportunity to replace this cache which hasnt been found by the last 4 finders, so its obviously MIA so helping out here with some quick cache maintenance before it becomes a headache to the CO.Has been replaced with something similar.TFTC

Cache has been replaced with a similar container. See our log note from today.Signed and replaced at GZ Logged as found.

Our only DNF for today. If its there, it is too well hidden for us.

There is only one vertical object within 5m of GZ and it aint there

Another unlucky try for us today. oh well.

Clue no help, wasn't really any upright stumps.

I emerged from the forest at Clark's Road. Good parking a few metres from gz.
A bit of a search here.
I have enjoyed your series of 8 caches.
Cheers

Teen was getting excited by this point and went in by herself for the find. A few pokes around, a squeal due to a spider and finally cache was in hand. Tftc!

*Found on the 16 Jul 2023 @ 10:42 am.*
*Cache find # 14840.*

Today I headed out to the Otway Forest Park and Paddy's Swamp area for a bit of a tour around on my bike and finding caches as I went.
After getting organised at Tanners Camp Ground, I then headed out on the bike and decided to find a few more from this series before heading towards Paddy's Swamp.
Once at GZ the cache was found without too much trouble.

**Thanks to Patogenic for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

Day out with sassieold55, picked up on our way through checking out the backroads of Cape Otway Road.TFTC

Found it out and about with annabella02, tftc

Mother’s Day

I have fallen into the “just one more” trap on my day trip and thought that I would give this series a go. Cache and log found in damp condition. TFTC.

This was my last for the day.

A big one it was too.

I have found over 40 caches from NSW to the Otways.

Nearly ended on a DNF.

But got there in the end!

TFTC

Found it!

Sunday, and the calendar is empty ...

After travelling half way to Queenscliff for a Ket Baker croissante and coffee, logic says that heading to Birregurra, more than double the distance in the other direction seems logical.

And Birregurra had a market on, but we made it into the RMH for lunch.

On the way back we worked our way through the Wensleydale Power Trail. Of course the phone signal was pretty much non-existant, so this required a mixture of blind luck, waving phones in the air, and verbal exhortation to whatever supernatural powers might be listening. Of course, on top of this, was the usual "Signal Dance" - "over here" "I got 2 bars over there." "Try on top of that gravel heap." "Look, look, the sign says crest! Stop."

SL, TFTC

Sticking closer to home for our caching adventure today we made our way as far as Birregurra, then worked our way towards Torquay seeking out all the unfound caches along the way with only one DNF for the day.
The Wensleydale power trail was next on our agenda, especially as we have been meaning to complete the series for some time. A pleasant hour or so saw us locating each and every cache all in good condition and just as the hints suggested.
The last in the series for us today after an enjoyable cache run in the bush, just the way we prefer.
Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn for the series cache placements.

Camping nearby so grabbed this one. Thanks

*Last Date Day Of February Adventure #14*
SueHut and I are out prowling for caches!
A quick and easy finish to this series. Earlier today I had to visit someone in Anglesea between caches. I chuckled over having to drive up Parker St to turn into Peter Ave. Well... I scored a face-full of cobwebs three times doing this series. Revenge of the Spiderman!
Thanks heaps for the cache, Lachlan, Sully and Finn!

Have been meaning to do this series for a while and today was the day. Quick find of this small container. Added some little trades for you.

11:15
After checking the various weather forecasts and commitments for a few days ahead, we decided on a day of caching to the west!
We worked our way around the power trail at a leisurely pace, 4 wheels, not two! - keeping a watch for snakes - at each stop.

Satellites today had our GZ 7 metres SW of where we found the cache.

Thanks to Patogenic for adding this Wensleydale trail to the gameboard.

J wins! Soggy log though! TFTC.

Tftc but log a lot wet

What do you do on your birthday? You head out and grab a few caches. When you are nine power trail caches off a Challenge and spot eight caches in a power trail, they become particularly attractive.

So into the Geomobile Joey, we popped Gypsy Girl the Geodog and went off for an early morning cache or nine.

We had a great run to the area, and we downloaded the caches to ensure we would have the coordinates we needed to make the find.

We found all caches in good condition. Well the log was wet on this one.

Thank you, Lachlan, Sully and Finn, for a neat power trail of Traditional caches.

Bit of bush bashing, log wet. Tftc

Great find log was wet! Thanks

Found with Sarah 9090990

We found it but couldn't sign because the log is saturated.

Hole thing distroyed inside filled with water not useable needs some care

Found with thomo31. TFTC

Found with thomo31. Tftc

Found while caching with teamashy. Log wet. Made pink squiggles. Returned as found. TFTC

TFTC Found on ground. Very wet log. Put it back where we thought it should go.

Found It...........With an afternoon free from work duties, Mrs H_3 decided that we should head out to grab some caches. We elected to grab this series as it was the closest to home with the limited time before dark. After pulling up the search started and soon after the cache was located. So with the log signed we continued our journey. Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn for the caches

I really loved the area at GZ. It seemed magical. And it was. There was a geocache there. This one took me a bit to find but only because I didn’t look closely enough. Then when I found it I couldn’t get it out. It would hardly budge! I didn’t have my geokit with me today so I had to use a nearby natural TOTT and I managed to get the cache out of its tight spot. Both cache and contents are in great condition. There was a lot more traffic around this section, it was probably the busiest part out of the whole trail.

Thanks for showing me a part of Wensleydale that I haven’t visited before. I really enjoyed doing these caches and getting to see new sights. I also enjoyed looking at some of the letterboxes that I drove past. It’s amazing what people can turn into letterboxes. TFTC

My very good caching mates the suscoe’s offered me a lift down to this area that even after caching from 2005 I have never driven along some of these roads.
The weather was kind to us by only starting to be light rain on our way back to Winchelsea for a coffee.
Saw these pop up a few days ago but Eddy and Jason were too quick so no rush to come down to check these guys out.
Simple hides but some will require an adjustment shortly as some of the hide are not well thought out but that will come with experience.
This hide was very hard to extract from it's hidey hole but with a little thoughtyou will find a way.
The cache owners must enjoy takeaways!! Good to see all logs are protected by a plastic bag please reseal after signing log and then write something about your experience.
Cache log was dry so all good with one to go. A F.P. for all your effort and hope to see many more.
Thanks Lachlan,Sully and Finn.

Suscoe decided to head out here (early this afternoon_ to Wensleydale to see what these Power Trail caches were like.
We invited our great mate Bushfire along for the trip. It has been quite a while since we have been able to get out together and we had a delightful time together finding these caches.
The roads were reasonably quite, a tractor with firewood and a couple of cars early on were the only traffic that we encountered. The rain held off until we were heading home, thank goodness.
The caches were found quite quickly with good co-ordinates to guide us.
Bus Stop was found quickly.
Thanks to Lachlan, Sully and Finn for this trail.

This was our last find on this trail for this afternoon. It was a bit tricky to get out but we improvised with success.
Time for a trip to Winch for a coffee at the Owl Cafe before we head home.

Didn't read the instructions about poor GPS so had to abort some of this trail.

Joint [FTF] full log later

I receive a message from SimsFamily that there was a few new caches to be found. I couldn’t go until later in the evening.
So we made a time to meet up and head out.
This one had made us work a little to locate the hide for a Joint [FTF]
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache Patogenic
