Logs
Before we leave the area we decided there was time to try to pick up a few more of this series, we enjoy caching on quiet country roads so this really suits us, TFTC
Day 1 of a trip to the Barossa Valley to do some of the Five Oh and Barossa geoart series, as well as any others that are nearby.All caches were found in good condition unless mention otherwise in log. TFTC
Attended the recent Mega in SA, an interesting day, and met up with some cachers from Queensland and Victoria
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. Attended my first one recently. TFTC SEMIK and Mattycat. Replaced log as the previous on was wet and crusty. May have changed others as well, just can't remember which ones.
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
Back to have another go at the 50 series. No impending storm today!
A relaxing afternoon with no other commitments so we could take our time and do thorough searches.
The hint is correct. There are loads of winter weeds (Oxalis?) making the find quite difficult.
The log book is wet.

Found by Joachim.

Out for a day 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 tenth for the day. Logbook is very wet. TFTC
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

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
Day 392 ( Thursday 24th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Greenock today. A total of 25 for the day and 7010 the trip. A grand total of 16,978 caches. TFTC
Thanks for the five oh series. I had a great day caching, adding some good numbers to my tally.
TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife LynSteNet happy geocaching

No35 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. 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.

Cache lid is missing and logbook is mouldy. Sadly I didn’t have any replacements with me.
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.
Ventured to the Barossa with LiB today for the event at Nuriootpa...
After the event and a trip to the new Chocolate factory we decided it was time to get some treasure hunting in...
We had just been up the guts of the 5 and after some challenging driving I completed those...
These were on a good road and the caches were quickly located...
Mega events...gotta love them...meeting people & swapping stories...

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 - 35 Mega Events"** today. (This makes our find count 22114).
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:** The containers and log books were mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge in the majority of caches.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

TFTC nice find on this beautiful autumn day while exploring the Barossa! Snails were guarding this one. JenneG and Budgy from Nth Nowra NSW.
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.

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! [^]
