Great day out skiing the XC trails

Rated: for Overall Experience

Jindabyne Jaunt GCNW Weekend at Jindabyne Day 3. After a huge walk yesterday, today was supposed to be quiet, but I ended up doing a few things. Firstly, I was up too early to go and join the breakfast event. Next was a road trip to Dalgety and Berridale for a few caches with some of the Canberra group that is on its way home. My midday was spent back up on the range of hills near Perisher to walk a 5km track to a cache that has long been waiting for a visit. I spent the afternoon trying to catch up on a few logs and other personal stuff.

I saw this CORS as I returned to my car after the walk up Porcupine Rocks

Thanks

This was an exciting find... not. But it was at the beginning of a fun adventure today.

Out exploring Snowy Mountains Region over the past couple of days with Outdoornut22, and getting a few trigs on the way. I think I like it so much because it breaks up the driving and gives us an excuse to stretch our legs.
felt a little bit like cheating this one because being summer we were able to so easy drive right up the the building I suppose in winter it would be pretty easy to ski across to it I just don't have to wear nearly as many layers on a day like today

Out exploring Kosciusko National Park today and getting a few trigs on the way, we also managed to stumble across a couple of unlisted ones as well. It was a beautiful day to be out and about in the mountains. This Cors unit was a pretty easy one to get as we were able to drive right up to the building it was on.

Once navigating to the CORS building realized have been here before, the start of the walk to the Porcupine trig.
I also checked out the lightning counter, still at 00000 so looks like it does not work.

After spending the morning mountain biking in the cache desert around the resort, the afternoon was for caching, so a trip over to Perisher was planned, only 7km from the resort but at least 50km by road. 7 caches and a pair of trigs made for an enjoyable outing in this beautiful part of the world. This was a fun one to navigate to - I like CORS trigs, they represent a bit of a finding challenge sometimes, this one was pretty simple though.

Found with Kittykatch on a visit to Perisher. TFTC

Found with GrimRaider on a trip up to Charlotte's Pass but got stopped at Perisher today. Unusual CORS but fun to grab. TFTC

Our last trip to the northern island included a visit to the Kosciusko National Park. Whilst there we went into Thredbo, managed to get to the top of Mt Kosciusko and then, on the next day, went into Charlottes Pass. On the way we took a small detour at Perisher to locate this CORS. Whilst there we noticed another antenna at the other end of the building. From the counter attached, it seems that the second antenna is to detect/count lightning strikes. It was reading 0000 when we visited - not sure if it had been reset or it wasn't working as there had been plenty of thunder and lightning the previous afternoon. The required photo has been added to the Gallery as well as photos of the lightning antenna and counter. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.

On a drive up to Charlottes Pass on this wet and cloudy day. Detoured off the main road to make a wuick find of the CORS unit just near the water supply storage pond.

Very quiet up here at this time of year....hardly saw another person....

CORs spotted without issue.

Second visitor????? Grabbed a selfie on our way to find a porcupine!

An unexpected *FTF* (if you can get such a thing on a trig). I still don't know exactly what these CORS things look like, so I snapped a pic of the most likely thing. Surprising that Tankengine didn't log this since he walked right past it!
