After a great Leap Day Mega event a couple of days ago and a nice road trip to Victor Harbor and catch up in Glenelg yesterday, today I was mostly by myself on my last day here apart from when I attended a couple of events. I drove around doing whereigos, a few multis and a few puzzles I had solved. As I got slowly closer to the airport I did some ad labs and a fair few trads until I had to head off to catch my flight. It was the end of an enjoyable few days.Geez. I wouldn't like to be living here with those going overhead. Wow. Thanks Freddo for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I had noted down two caches to help me find my way from the airport to my accommodation in the dark.It worked well and I managed to find both the caches too.

GPS was taking us going round and round around the suburbs. Anyhow we magaged to find it!!! It was fun searching through all the things that met the discription. And we waited for one to fly over... Not exactly a Jumbo but should be big enough XDTFTC

Really wanted to do this one as I had done the original way back many years ago when I was part of another team (HardUnits). Naughtybunny and I had a day out caching around the Findon area and made our way south. We saw the cache on the ground, so had to go somewhere I wasn't allowed to retrieve it and log. We knew where it should have been, so placed it back nice and snug. Heard a plane approaching, so took the selfie with a RFDS plane in the background. How do people live here?!?! TNLN. Cheers.

Found with Chookster on a very cold day of caching, dodging showers, op-shopping and roaming around the inner Western suburbs.
Found this one on the ground, replaced the log and returned the cache to its rightful spot.

Out to collect some more caches a bit closer to home after my trip to the Yorke Peninsula yesterday, trying to clear up some DNFs and find ones I've had my eye on for a while.

Quick and easy find at GZ with the cache and log book in good condition.

Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Signed as "P.Goldy"

Thanks to Freddo for this cache.

Headed out for a wander in the neighbourhood tonight and decided to head towards this cache. With an empty GZ and spot on coordinates it was a quick find. No planes flew overhead when I was at GZ but plenty seemed to be about when I continued on my walk. TFTC Freddo

Absolutely brilliant cache placement.
Had the kids lay down on the pavement and wait.......the looks on their wee faces when the plane went so close overhead was priceless.

Plus One was definitely on a roll today!

We had three cached marked for today, and she made a beeline to them all...

I like... looked the part, with my wrist mounted Garmin Foretrex 101, but no match for a keen nose, and an old iPhone!

I think I may need to change my handle to Plus One And the the worry Wolf...

Out and about with my wheeled geobuddy. This was a very quick find, but as the container has no lid the log book was on the ground between the fences. After a quick dash back to my car to get my long grabby tool, log book was in hand, then we put the container In a ziplock bag till the cache owner can get to it and fix it properly!

I needed to head out at lunch today to grab a few parts for my broken mountain bike. Once that shopping was done at Mile End, and lunch was purchased and eaten, I decided to detour back to my working from home office via a few geocaches.

A cool little location, and my initial look/search didn't yield the cache. However something caught my eye, and I checked the same location but from a different angle, and sure enough, I found the cache.

As others had commented, there were a few problems with this one. There was no lid for starters, and someone had stuffed a pink furball swag item into the container, so I took it back to my car to use a tool to try to extract. After a few minutes, I had freed it, but there was no logbook to sign? I went through my spare supplies (which coincidentally, some had been supplied by the CO), and sure enough, I found the right sized logbook to add (after signing my name in it). I also fixed the pull mechanism that had been folded over too. So anyway, it should be ok for now, but it currently doesn't have a lid, so something to address in the future. Thanks [@Freddo](http://coord.info/PR8C14) the Frog for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

P.s. I tried to stick around as long as possible to achieve the bonus geopoint for catching a Jumbo, my GPS and I in the one image, but I think I would need to stay for a good 2-3 months at least to see one of those aircraft fly above me. Dang COVID-19 restrictions, destroying my bonus geopoint achievements... Sad
