Many thanks for the hide Aussie M & M

Found while exploring the back roads. TFTC

After a freezing night we were out early to begin another day’s adventure with iluvtrekking on what promises to be a lovely winters day. Thanks postiegirl06

So the JAMS team managed to get a bonus day off so headed off towards Clare early, but strangely it took about 8 hours to get there. We found a range of caches along the way, so thanks for placing them for us to find.

Found out Geo day as jams

Found with the JAMS on our way to Clare for the JLWE. TFTC

quick find
The JAMS team (( JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, and sir_spectre ) plus TallBikeStan for this trip ) are headed off to the 20 th JuneLongWeekend Event in Clare. As you would expect extension poles, blow up kayaks, waders and ladders are in the car. I am sure every one else takes 11 hours to reach Clare from Adelaide, i am also sure via Burra is the logical to Clare . There was many photos taken of the fun times we had, even involving a ladder in the creek and of course many dirt roads ventured down. All caches for the weekend where stamped as JAMS and some more caches where placed on our travels. The missing JAMS member Michells&hound joined us in our B&B in Clare but didn't join with us for the JLWE game. The weather slowly got better over the weekend. It's good to see some gadget and creative caches around Clare that are permeant and not temp game caches.

Not much here now. tftc

Cruising the back roads of Truro

Historical find! TFTC.

An early morning was planned with gridge98 and LíB heading north to grab caches along the way not knowing where we would end up. We had a fun day and found ourselves in Morgan for some lunch before heading back via some out of the way caches that we all hadn't been to. [^]

The others had found this one but they kindly stopped for me as we were driving right past.

Thanks for the cache Aussie M & M.

Quick find. Interesting history. TFTC

Quick drive-by. Tftc.

Heading off towards Wilpena Pound for the June Long Weekend when the phone starts binging and there are heaps of newly published caches. Pull over in Charleston and scroll through the list. No, no, no, no, maybe, oh no I wanted that one, no, no and no. Bugger. Back to the maybe. If we sort of, kinda made a little (comparatively) detour we could go via that one. So with a new route to get to where we wanted we were able to collect a few more caches on the way.
Not much left to see here but at least this spot has both a sign and also a cache to remember what was here. [^] The sign is interesting and the cache was a quick find.

**Thanks postiegirl06 for this cache. **

Found on my way home after spending the day in the mallee area near Blanchetown. Thanks for the cache postiegirl06!

Quick find! Loving the history!

Awesome hide

So its been awhile since I have started up my GPS and looked at what I have found. To my surprise I have so much logging to do, and from so long ago. So I have had to put a generic log together as I have no clue what happened this long ago.

Apologies in advance for the generic log, But life has taken a few different paths over the last 2 years now I have to play catch up.

Know one thing, these days I hand pick all the caches I do and well I hand picked this one so its a good thing. Generic log or not

Thanks for the cache postiegirl06 - I love history and you do a bloody good job at hunting it down!! Thanks heaps

Great spot and loved the ruin nearby!

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Moving day today, with the car fixed and the 'cheap' deal over at the caravan park it's back to free camping for a while.

After moving the caravan and setting up a cooking fire so we could have jaffles for lunch it was time to find some geocaches.

With rain threatening we decided to tackle a few caches on wet weather only roads as it may be the last chance we get in this area. [^] What a day we had, scenic views, historical points of interest, great camoed caches! Just the best that geocaching has to offer.

TFTC and helping us keep our streak alive.164 days continuous geocaching today!

With work bringing us to Eudunda we decided to clean up some of the caches off the beaten track and enjoy some of the countryside, even though it is no longer there its good that it is recognized as being there once. TFTC

Found as part of the record run to SA by The Demolition Crew (TDC). While, I am not a member of the TDC, I was fortunate enough to be caching with Blacklegend, Quasar3671, Trailrunning and Rebel Acts on what was for me, a huge adventure.

As I live with Blacklegend, it was fantastic when he said "Do you want to come to South Australia on a huge caching trip". I jumped at the chance, as I'd never been to S.A. or Adelaide, and it was a fantastic feeling to know I was going to be part of something big, and I was.

To be part of the Australian 24 hour record, at such an early stage in my caching career, so to speak, and part of so many other finds, was experience building beyond anything I could have hoped for.

****************

After the huge day we had Tuesday, some might think that we would rest up on Wednesday. However, there was no rest, and we were at it again, early. We targeted and completed the APM, PSA, 50, 60 and 40 series. There were other caches we found as well during another big day. In the end, I was glad to be able to see Adelaide and find a few caches there as well. Being the junior member on the team, it was fantastic to see how the others planned this, and the final result, being over 1000 caches in 48 hours.

****************

Due to the extremely high number of finds for the trip, and on Blacklegend's advice and with his assistance, I have also gone with the generic logs. As the others have stated, it in no way takes away from the fantastic and enjoyable hides we found on the trip. As Blacklegend and the other have said, my sincere thanks to all cache owners who placed and maintain their caches, and made this trip possible for our group. TFTC, memories and the experience.

This cache was found during The Demolition Crew with Ponty95 24 hour and 1000 caches in 48 hours record breaking challenge caching run in South Australia.

I've been on quite a few caching road trips during my time as a cacher and this one was one of the best. The idea was to see how many caches we could find in 24 hours, with the goals being to break the Australian 24 hour caching record, and then continue on the next day to see if we could eventually find a total of 1000 caches or more in the 48 hours. Needless to say we did manage to fulfill both goals.

Not only does SA have some lovely contryside and Adelaide itself is famous for its churches, SA is also known for its numerous, extensive and well laid out cache 'powertrails'. The OZ Mega, OZ Signal and the Wandering Heros series of caches in particular are the largest and just a few of the many that can be tackled. With this is mind, TDC started planning the 24 hour challenge caching run back in late 2012, and over a period of many, many months we laid out careful plans on how we were going to break the Australian 24 hour caching record, as well as find as many caches as possible while on the road.

The intricate attention to detail proved to be esssential to us completing our goals. With routes planned, essential supplies loaded (especially museli bars, water and energy drinks) and every cache detail documented, we headed off on the 6th to begin our journey. By the end we had accomplished what we had set out to do, smashing the 24 hour record and finding over 1000 caches in the 48 hours. We had an absolute ball and needless to say were knackered by the end but the final result was worth every hours lack of sleep.

Apart from finding many 'stand alone' caches we did manage to complete the OZ Mega, Oz Signal, Wandering Heros, TDF, APM and PSA series, the 40, 50 and 60 series of caches as well as a number of Adelaide puzzle caches and a few Melbourne - Adelaide multi caches.

Due to the number of cache finds and the resulting number of logs to write, I am reluctantly using a generic log to log each cache. The same goes for my fellow TDC cachers and Ponty95, full appreciation goes out to each of the CO's who placed caches that we found, and without your caches our fantastic caching experience would not have come to fruition.

Thanks, Quasar3671.

Found as part of the Demolition Crew record run to South Australia with fellow TDC members Quasar3671, Trailrunning, Rebel Acts and a guest on the trip, Poynts95.

The trip was a fair while in the making, and many aspects had to align to make it happen, including all of us getting the time to go. However, the "stars aligned" so to speak for us, and the trip was on. A date was set and much planning engaged, and when I say much, I mean a very large amount. We had an old saying where I used to work, and that was "Failing to be prepared, is being prepared to fail", so, we prepared, and prepared and prepared.

With a challenge set, being, could The Demolition Crew find over 500 caches in 24 hours, we headed forth to South Australia, the magical land of power trails, and over the duration of the trip, found in excess of 1250 caches, and indeed, easily beat the goal on our record day. Importantly too, we had a great time together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While you might think after the huge day on Tuesday, that Wednesday we might rest up, but oh no, again we headed out early after getting some sleep under the belts. We completed the APM, PSA, 50, 60, 40 series and a stack of other caches here and there. The other caches included two 5/5's and some completed there P81 challenge on a very nice conclusion to a 5/4.5 cache. Another great day, and we did get 1000 in 48 hours.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the extremely high number of finds for the trip, I am opting for a generic log, which I never normally do, but as the others have stated, it in no way detracts from the high quality of hides we found on the trip. My sincere thanks to all cache owners who placed and maintain their caches, and made this trip possible for our group. You have all been part of the best caching road trip we have yet made. TFTC and the memories.

When the Wandering Series was first published it had been on the agenda of The Demolition Crew, however we were not able to arrange a time when all of us could go over. Fortuitously as time went by, more trails were published. Upon looking more closely at South Australia recently, there were many more power trails than we realised, and a plan was hatched to go over and grab as many caches as we could. We were all finally able to arrange a mutual time during the Easter school holidays, so the planning stages began.

Given the limited amount of time available to us, and so many caches to grab, we realised that a huge effort was going to be needed to grab them all. Rebel Acts being known for his record breaking 24 hour runs suggested that we try a 24 hour run of our own. Now there was a thought, a challenge in fact we readily accepted. A bit more planning (a lot more actually) and a route was chosen and run sheets drawn up.

With all the puzzles solved, and most of the multi's these caches were reduced to traditionals for the run day. With cars packed, stamps made, and spirits high we made our way to South Australia to find some plastic.

Wednesday might have been a day of rest, but when you plan to get 1,000 caches in two day, there is little rest. Today the 50, 60, 40, PSA and APM series were collected before starting to head back to Victoria. The highlight of the day was collecting two 5/5 caches in one day, and completing the P81 challenge by collecting a 5/4.5 cache.

While I am using a generic log, it does not detract my appreciation of all the CO's who have put the time into placing and maintaining these caches. To each and every one of you, I thank you for being part of what has been the best cache road trip yet. Thank you!

Go TDC.

The cache was found as part of A massive cache run to South Australia with TDC Members Trailrunning, Quasar3671 and Blacklegend and a ring in Ponty95. It had taken us time to get this all together, finally a date was set and planning was started, I learnt one thing from my late mate dak's Emu Mob AKA Dave Kruger "Proper Planning prevents piss Poor Performance" he always said. Trailrunning was our master planner on this trip. I did this as part of a team but I also did it as a tribute to dak. having set the Australian Record twice before the question was, does the Rebel still have what it takes, I think the answer for that was yes. The challenge had been set down on FB "could the TDC find over 500 in a day, well we took up the challenge and headed to the power trail capital of Australia.

Passed here as we headed for the TDF, this was a bonus cache we found.
Thanks PG06

As well as finding the cache easy enough we also found that the flies were real friendly and gave a lot of them a free ride to the next find. Thanks for the cache Postie Girl.

Another "roadtrip" day for us. Although we have a destination in mind, it's the journey that is important.
Photos (mainly of old stone ruins) for Ingy, caches for me.
Today the destination was Morgan, with our usual methods, it took 7½ hours to make that trip.
We made it this far before I started caching - thus this was my first for the day.
The mention of the buildings around the corner was most appreciated by Ingy, thanks.

A small crack in lid and the contents look water damaged from winter, but the Log was dry, snug in it sealed baggy.
