One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than %d% days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

We came to Mt C for the earth cache and after taking in the views went to see what the storey was with this cache. We had a little trouble with the co-ords but expanded the search and then found. The existing log book is in a poor state so we dropped in a new log sheet complete with plastic zip bag. We completed the signIng duties and re hid. The needs maintenance can now be removed. TFTC

Wet log.

While visiting this area with my nephew Wild Tui we found this cache stashed on the beautiful Mt Canobolas but the log book was too wet to sign. I have taken a photo of myself and Wid Tui with the cache for verification and can be emailed to cache owner upon request. TFTC TNLN

Did find it. Log still wet. Tftc

Had an hour or so between appointments on a business trip so decided to head up Mount Canobolas. For anyone considering whether to make the trip up or not, in my opinion it's well worth the drive. Do be careful though on the way up and back.
Found cache but did not sign as too wet.

Log is very soggy.

Log too wet to sign.

Found at 1:44:00 PM.

Found on a trip out NW with the family camping, showing and caching. After seeing something dash away I wasn't too keen on sticking my hand down there so I got a stick to ferret around with. By the time I found one long enough whatever it was had some out again into the sun. I fished aorund for a while before risking a grab with my hand. Got it on the third try and after all that the log was too wet to sign.

Thanks Team Bluedog.

Easy find on this warm fathers day, been a while since i have been up here the views are still amazing. No sign of the TB logs need replacing as they wet but was still able to sign the log. TFTC TNLN

Found on cold and windy day. Left cockroach no tb to be found

6723 + 841 = 7564. Found during a great weekend caching in the Bathurst region with Sol de Lune.

Heading out of Orange now. After a great Earthcache find and three bonus Trigs !! we walked over to this one - quite an old cache which is nice to see ! Quick find. Such great views this deserves a Favourite Point !

Thanks Oldbluedog !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

A very cool area...so glad we made the effort to come on out here during our day in Orange.

We had fun with the nearby Earthcache and then headed over here to grab this one.

Thanks for the reason to head up this way Oldbluedog

TFTC.. Cache needs to be replaced log was wet and mouldy.. TB is missing

What a great place. Wasnt to cold up here today. Couldnt work out the clue so had to keep on searching until finally found it TFTC

Nice little hide TFTC

The container is intact, but the log is wet and mouldy. Maybe a new log in a zip lock bag. Would have done it myself, but as we are on holiday from WA our full kit is at home, sorry.

This is a great spot for a cache. misread the clue at first and searched in the wrong spot. Of course the geowife was standing there and said isn't that what your looking for. Well at least I finally got it. Log
TFTC TN Left Survival Key ring

Good hiding place, the log is very damp http://www.geocaching.com/images/icons/icon_smile.gif

Log book wet. Needs waterproof container.
Overcast windy and a bit chilly.
No trackable.
No. 3 of 8 stops.

We haven’t been up Mount Canobolas for many years so we decided to go for a drive, take in the beautiful countryside of the Orange region with its orchards and wineries, tackle the “Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area” earthcache, and pick this one up too. It was a quick find as the container was visible as geoson and I approached. Once I had completed the signing duties, we replaced it with a little more cover. The logbook is pretty damp but I was able to sign it. Thanks Team Bluedog.

A quick find on a beautiful afternoon.
The log book is completely saturated an needs replacement.
SL TFTC

Not a dnf but a failed attempt. Muggled out of it by a brown snake! Beware tbe 32° heat

Third today! this is quite fun!!
It is a beautiful sunny day with a fair bit of wind
(The jar may need a bit of weather proofing btw, the logbook is a tad wet :S )

TFTC. Sorry I've taken so long to log the find.

We made this find quite easily on a beautiful, sunny Spring day. The surrounding countryside looks absolutely stunning at the moment.
TFTC Oldbluedog.

Found on a glorious day! TFTC

Nicely hidden cache in a great place. TFTC

A short stroll from the great views and we found this one. Thanks for the visit to an amazing place - it was a perfect day - sunny and warm.

found the cache on a COLD spring day (it snowed the day before !!!)...log was a little damp but still ok to write in .

After the birthday BBQ at Federal Falls we walk up to Mt Canobolas.
We enjoyed the nice blue sky and moderate temperatures.

Whilst visiting the mountain on a fathers day outing, I took the opportunity to round up a few caches. After playing in what was left of the snow I made my way down to the GZ with my daughter and quickly had the CIH. The cache contents and log book were soaked. I would suggest replacing the container with something more waterproof. It was a spectacular day to be up here, the sky was clear and the views stretched as far as the eye could see. TFTC

A nice quick find and off to check out the view. TFTC

Found on our trip to the Mega. Great place, thanks for bringing us here

Found on a gorgeous autumn's morning, with no clouds and a temp of about 25C, after a spell at the top admiring the views and getting the info and photos for the EarthCache and TrigPoint. Geokid7 and I walked down and searched the rocks, eventually finding the spot with the iPhone showing 5m. Didn't leave anything due to the dampness. TFTC!

Lovely mild day, minimal wind, partly cloudy, beautiful views and peaceful. Cache v damp, may need some tending. Tftc.

Visited after having enjoyed the great views from Mt.Canobolas.
A lot of telecom equippment on that mountain.

Cheers from Germany

First cache since i was a member! We love you snowman48, TFTC tom max paul

We are staying with some friends at Bakers Swamp and took them caching for the first time. This was our first cache for the day and the view is fantastic. TFTC

Went up the mountain for a drive and to watch the showers in the distance. Found the trig easily enough and headed down to this one for a quick find. Logbook wet, old logbook mouldy. Needs some serious maintenance.
Thanks.

found with morley 196 and scouts on scout camp and it was snowing

Found on a cold and snowy day on top, it was September!! found with baggey draging scouts around the area TNLNSL TFTC Took TB to ensure it keeps moving!.

What a fantastic location!

Found after coming up for the nearby Earthcache.

As noted by other loggers, the cache is quite damp and really would benefit from a new container. Possibly a 1 litre sistema or similar. It also needs a pen. It is quite big enough for one, but none in evidence. I attempted running repairs using a ziplock bag, but it really needs more TLC.

Left a lost penguin (Helen's bug). I hope it is cold enough up here.
PS No sign of the other bugs that are logged as being here. I hope I didn't make a mistake leaving another one.

Found it needs tlc water damage

A nice brain chilling 1 degree morning, with the sun trying to battle through the mist. Quick, easy find, we very much enjoyed the view. TNLN, TFTC.

Found it after a quick search nice and clear day cold and a bit of snow around LNTN

A quick find in such a fantastic area. Was not expecting to go caching today so didnt even bring a pen to sign log. TNLN thanks 4 the cache.

A great one, very nice hiding spot.

Found with theromulans on a foggy windy freezing night. Left a travel bug... but its the only one in there. The inventory list is way out of date

Took a detour when returning from the west, having not been up the hill for about a decade. Littlest geokiddy wanted to find something, so a quick check with the iPhone indicated a cache nearby. Found it without difficulty (although said geokiddy tried to fall into a drain in her enthusiasm!) but not having planned ahead, found it without pen nor swaps on hand, so the visit went unrecorded in the cache. (No writing tools are in the cache.)

A little bit tough to find in the gusty wind and 15m (at most) visibility on this crazy Saturday at dusk. But we did, thanks Dropped off my travel bug friend from Luxembourgh too - seemed like an appropriate place for an adventurous bug

5:12pm
Easy find, great location. Have not been to the top of this Mountain in so many years!!

Cheers

Found this one with MandaJ. Was in Orange for the night to see the wonderful Lior perform at the Orange Conservatorium of Music. Was such a great show. MandaJ had been to this cache earlier in the day and confirmed it was big enough to drop off the travel bug i was helping to hitch a ride. We headed up after the show at about 10:30pm. It was dark, windy and a little chilly. The cooler temp was a welcomed relief after such a muggy afternoon of driving then caching. Could see a lightning storm off a way distance to the north east.

TFTC!

Was almost able to drive right up to this one. GPS said 8 metres to go when we got out of the car and we spotted it with 4 metres to go. This must have been our quickest one of the day while we were caching in the area today.
Thanks for the cache.

TNLN

A nice place for a cache here in this subalpine region.

After doing the nearby Earthcache grabbed this one as well. TFTC!

Took watch left ball

Found with the little blue martians with grandma. Placed with consideration of its location - well done - Log was damp, replaced with a new one in a ziplock bag. SL TNLN TFTC

Fairly late on in the day so not many muggles around making it an easy find. Super views from up here!
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

Geo*Buster-Dad Pounced on it like a PANTHER . The container was full of water i emptied the water and dried everything as much as possible. the note book was still very damp, I would have left it in the sun to dry out for a while, But the Muggles were Every-where.

Geokids found the early snow more interresting than the few.

An easy find on one of our regular trips to the top of this mount. Thanks for the Cache!

its been a while since I have been here, and I remember sliding down the nearby slope when I was young and there was snow here, good to find at least one cache here, didn't have any joy with the other two nearby caches, parked about 6m to the GZ to my surprise, Took Geocoin.
that evening I thought I lost the coin so returned here the next morning to search for coin.. no luck but on return home found it in my backpack doh...
thanks for the view and the cache.

Found with the crew after fantasic day at the lake! Warm day, 29, and clear. No sign of toad TB but did leave a sheep!! TFTC

No-one around here today, able to drive to within about 10m of GZ. Fine, sunny day, pleasantly warm with a light breeze and some scattered cloud.

Moved a small & curious cache guardian aside on finding the cache.

Found after 2nd attempt.
TNLN

With the family at the lake I looked for the closest cache to grab. This was it and they hardly knew I had gone. They were ready to go home when I got back so the day was a win win day for all.

Crossed off a date with a few today. I had never been up here before, and if my logs were looked at it would be seen that I have been fortunate to have seen some great views lately. A great mate budokan will always say you can never get sick of a great view. Enjoyed this cache. Thanks.

SL TFTC

Finally got one after 3DNFs in a row. Good easy hide. TFTH.

Nice views at the end of the day. Thank you.

thanks for the cache and great stop

hey good hide i was sitting in front of it and saw that rock and didnt say anything!

Fantastic view, wow what a scenic find.

Nice cache well placed thanks. No travelin toad in this cache

Found this whilst visiting Orange for a couple of days.

Never been up to the Mount before but I am glad you took us there this time.

Perfect day of about 30 degree. Worked up a sweat walking to the other cache in the area.

The views were sensational. I couldn't quite see Forever but could see the town beside it.

Thanks Team Bluedog. Another great cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Easy find on a bright sunny day, 22 degrees, light breeze, excellent visiblity.
TNLNSL TFTC!

Found at 0845hrs with Tommo's Mob. Cloud, wind and a temp of 1 degrees not to mention the chill factor, gave me a good excuse to get back to the car quick.

Dropped in a few of my travellers for a visit.

Quite a cool day, with a breeze and drizzle, view was very intermittent, unfortunately. Found cache OK. TN, L erasers. SL TFTC

82 - Extracted the cache from under a light cover of snow! Certainly not the best weather Orange has to offer... TFTC

Well worth the drive up here for the great views, as well as the cache. It was about 13 degrees and cloudy this afternoon.

Found at 1230. Parked in the designated car park and made our way over to GZ, and whilst we spotted the hide straight away, we initially missed spotting the cache, but a second look moments later revealed the cache was actually there......just a little further in.

Thanks.

After initially overlooking the cache loctation we had a second look and the container revealed itself. TNLN and TFTC.

A nice drive up here and a nice quick find to boot, the nearby facility was even manned today.

Thanks Team Bluedog for the cache.

Fine sunny day,No wind,21C
On a Venture/Scout GPS Mapping Base on the Summit Took some time out to Cache .

Thanks, The M .S.I.T.E

Fantastic view. Waved to the fire watchman in the tower on the way to GZ. Nice afternoon about 34 degrees with scattered clouds

Great spot. Waved to the fire watchman in the tower on the way to GZ. Nice afternoon about 34 degrees with scattered clouds.

Nice easy one. Lovely lunch at the Mountain Tea House before a short drive to the cache location.

It's been several years since I've been here. Always worth the visit especially with the weather as it was today - about 13 degrees and a very light noreaster blowing. Almost no cloud.

TNLN Thanks.

With the temperature at about 4 deg i was glad this one was a quick find. Haven't been up here since we lived in Orange about 10 years ago.
Nice clear night and the views of the lights were great.

TFTC

Walked up the Spring Gully track to the top of the hill at dawn while watching the sun rise. There was a light breeze and it was rather cold, the puddles of water were partially frozen over. It was a clear morning with patches of fog scattered over the landscape below.
Didn't see The Toad TB.
Suprised this cache isn't visited more often.

Found it! Been there many times mostly in the snow.

Found on a cool, windy day with excellent visibility.

What a great excuse to go to the top. Haven't been up here for a long time.
The weather was sunny but a cool strong south westerly wind did not make for pleasant conditions. Because of the wind the view was very hazy.
Found the cache without much trouble.

Thanks Team Bluedog

A work trip out to sunny Mt Canobolas meant unexpected an unexpected cache bonanza. Thanks for the hunt. Found easily, although could have been tricky if I had have come from the other direction. (I walked between the big rocks).

TFTH

Found it ! Just a short walk to this one after logging "The Big C". Just quick search and there it was. Sunny but cool today. 13 degrees out of the wind but about 8 with the wind chill factor. TNLN SL TFTC. Walked all the way down to "After The Fall" form here. A great day out.
