quick and easy find, thanks for the cache!

Thanks

Cool ??

Reading maps? Who does that these days, pull up the cache, click those dots, navigate with Waze

Now that the main reason for our journey was over and multiple caching trails were completed it was time to venture home. Our Mob had gone separate ways. Only three teams left now us, Rapidlywild and The Drovers. We cleaned up a few more while in the area before making the slow journey home. All the others had previously completed this trail but thankfully they were happy to help out and drive around the loop again so we could get our name in the logs. Thanks for the hide and series Mattycat and thanks for a fun adventure Rapidlywild

Out to get some numbers early to reach 4K by the end of march. Now maps i can read, its the north south bit thats a struggle. TFTC SEMIK and Mattycat.

The weather is getting very warmer, but I won't give up until the series is completed... I'm so happy to sign as an EV, and thank you for the cache and hunt.Some of the caches need TLC and refresh.. due to some damp log and damage to the container, etc..

Out in the Barossa today looking to clear out a few of the many caches Ive yet to look for in this areaA quick find, stamp and return hereTFTC

Quick find while out and about grabbing caches.TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker DGS

With an afternoon free and a storm forecast for mid-afternoon, we decided to find some caches on the ‘50’. Not too far from home and not a full day’s worth of caching.
Most of the caches we stopped for we found. Some we bypassed as there were locals present or there was nowhere to stop safely. The dry weather roads were relatively dry for the most part, quite wet in places and completely impassable in others!
A good couple of hours caching and no storm.
Please excuse the copy and paste.

4th find of the day! Take it easy finding this one, in a bit of a pokey spot!

After doing the 5 yesterday, we're doing the 0 today. Early to try and beat the heat. Thank you Semik and Mattycat for the series.

Honours to our youngest again.

Out for a couple of days of caching on a holiday weekend. We’re going to do the 50 trail and had an issue back in the 5 so have shifted tack and this is our twenty seventh find for the series. TFTC

Found with friends on a weekend away

Found on a great weekend caching with friends. Have loved doing this series and discovering the back streets of the Barossa.

Nice drive out here today. Nice path to this one

Great hissing spot

Saw lots of kangaroos jumping around!

Quick find. All good TFTC

Found with Aussie M and M.
Today was all about the 50 series.
Ive been wanting to find this series for years. Sadly a few DNFs and some did not attempt due to the dry weather only roads on a partially wet day. Tftc

Found it

Cool find

Found it

Think I logged the whole series this morning but can’t be sure till I see smileys on the map. Installed new logs where needed (a few were mouldy), replaced caches that were def missing... one was just a base no lid or log. Got twigs in my hair, drove down a goat track (you know the one), consumed water and fruity chews, found a few on the ground, most were exactly where I thought they’d be Picked a zillion bits of speargrass outa my old runners.

A real pleasure to explore this region today

TFTC SEMIK & Mattycat

This was another cache we found buried but good none the less. We can only hope our rental car people will be happy when we bring the car back full of dirt like the caches we have found. tftc

I had an interest in maps as a child, which progressed to orienteering and now this.

Day 5 of our holidays was an early start for the ability to cache all day. We uncovered some geo art, went on very interesting dirt roads, found out some local history and had lunch at one of Mrs IML72's favourite pubs the Gungellan Hotel from her favourite TV series. TFTC
we caught up with a fellow cacher here

Found with Tracking Turtles. TFTC

Found.Tyftc Jones Family

No26 today so sorry for the generics but here we go. Here for the TDU 2020 and definately some intestate caching. Located all available of the 51 except for those in the 30s not listed. Thank you for the adventure and the challenge. The 4x4 section is overdue for a grader job. Cheers

After spending most of the morning and early afternoon in my car going from cache to cache, it was time to get my bike off the bike rack and get some exercise.

I parked near #35 and the set off on my bike to complete the 0 trail. Then moved my car to the 5 trail and again set off on my bike.

Not sure how many kilometres but in today’s heat, it was quite a work out for me.

All caches found. One cache needs a new container (#35) and about half a dozen had damp logbooks but still write able. All others were good.

Thanks for creating and maintaining this series- I had an enjoyable afternoon.

Thanks for the cache SEMIK.

Beware the bush!

While staying this area we knew we just had to do the caches in this series, plus a couple of others close by. All except one log was signed, all containers were replaced in position before we moved on again. There was a huge variety in the condition of the logs which varied from one that couldn't be signed, through to acceptable, good and some were excellent.
We decided to give a few caches a miss, as the tracks leading to them were deeply rutted and not appealing at all.
Many thanks go to the CO's for each cache placement.

The caches around here looked like fun, so we came along with goingplaces2 and had a good go at these ones. Some tracks were good, some were OK and some were very iffy. Logs were signed, caches were replaced and the job was done. TFTC.

Another day of action looking for Skippy’s 50 with MyEagleEyes & MyLittleSpyEye!
With gps & phone technology available to us these days, we don’t spend much time reading map books, but we certainly do enjoy looking at the Geocache maps to plan our next big adventure!!

On the way up to blanchetown this morning I stopped in to do some caching along the way in the back roads and finish off the 50 series.
Nice and easy find TFTC

I had some time to kill before having my Mother's Day dinner at Angaston...there is only one thing to do...yep! find a few caches...so I did...

Don’t have to read too many of those these days with smart phones and GPS devices galore.

Thanks for the cache SEMIK.

Enjoying our explore of this area aided by geocaches. Couldn't go past the 50 series. Thanks for placing and reminding us of all the things we love about caching! Tftc

Hi there SEMIK.

We found your cache **"Five Oh - 26 Reading Maps"** today. (This makes our find count 22121).

Today we headed out from Kapunda to finish the "50" series We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

We found 27 caches today & DNF'd 2. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** Cache needed some maintenance, so we made the repair and restored the cache.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge in the majority of caches.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

TFTC found on this lovely autumn day while exploring the Barossa. JenneG and Budgy from Nth Nowra NSW.

Found it with CroRose
Thanks SEMIK for the cache.

Thank you for cache and beautiful day

Visiting Barossa with my Mum who is over from the UK . We had booked a lunch at Wolf Blass and a motel ages ago so still made the trip despite the 41 degree day yesterday.
With a cooler day on the cards today I couldn’t resist an early start this morning to head out and collect a few caches.
Finished the 50 series (started it 3.5 years ago) and found some other targeted caches.
Had a few issues with the new version of cachly absolutely did my head in and in the end resorted to using the official app which was giving me more accurate results.
Ended up with 32 finds for the morning and then back to motel to check out and do touristy Barossa stuff (Maggie Beers, 2 wineries and lunch in Tanunda). TFTC the caching this morning was a highlight of my Barossa weekend.

Thanks for the cache and placement Five Oh - 26 Reading Maps , SEMIK Find Number #4915 at 16:32 Hours

My 3rd find of the day. #26 - Reading Maps... I have always loved looking at actual maps, not so much the electronic ones found online. Unfolding then remembering how to re-fold them correctly is like taking a car apart an remembering how to re-assemble it at times grrrr. Maybe there is a lot to be said for good ol' Google Maps after all, even for those like me that like the "In my Day - Maps" of paper

Wish we had time to do more. Quick run before bed. Thanks

For ease we stamped the logs as "Fabulous Randoms" today

A nice trail to do......the section in the middle for 4WD was a little hectic at times, but we got there. Overall an enjoyable and fun time was had.

Thanks so much for this series of caches SEMIK! [^]

After being out north on a FTF hunt the second part of plan B was to finish off the Five Oh series.
Found them all and even managed to drive the very rutted section in the impreza.
Thanks for the cache and series SEMIK

This is good fun, hubby doing really well. AnsMisty

Originally we were only going to do half of these today but we found them so quickly that we decided to grab them all. Easy finds and accurate coordinates certainly helped. We didn’t attempt #2 as we could see the bees without getting out of the car. Caches 5-8 were a challenge as the road was extremely rutted but as it was so dry we did manage to get through with our high clearance vehicle.
Thanks for the trail SEMIK

I just follow the arrow to the next cache. No map reading required. Thanks.
