[green]Find #7 of the day and Find # 5813[/green]...

Found this while House Sitting in Virginia... Grabbing some caches as I took around this beautiful area, being chauffeured around by 3LG and keeping company with earthlight... A cool but sunny day to be out & about...

A bit of a stroll, a short search, found cache, stamped and returned... A beautiful area... Great area for photo's and a nice idea for a series too...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment 3LG...

Found by Faraday74 whilst at farm day with scroungers54. A great day.

Quick find TFTC!

A beautiful day for a wander in the forest [^]
Was surprised by the amount of infrastructure they have installed along this little trail!
Cheers & TFTH 3LG

We decided that today would be a good day for the geokid to go for a walk along with the hyperactive geopup. I needed a trail that would keep my little guy amused but not being too hard on the terrain rating and I decided that this little boardwalk trail would do the job.

We were not disappointed, we found a mixture of small and large caches and we saw lots of kangaroos. So a total of 8 geocaches was found today on a fun day out.

The last of the boardwalk series. We did not realise how extensive and far this boardwalk actually went for and were very pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it very much.


Cache #6584. TFTC 3LG

A quick find after work. TFTC
Great to see some of these caches replaced.

Lovely morning for a boardwalk and a forest walk, so we did a couple of loops finding these caches. Dry enough that it wasn't boggy, cool enough that snakes weren't a worry.
Nice to see a variety of container sizes and good hides along the walk. Very familiar area for Mrs Frozen Feet, who spent a lot of time orienteering in these parts as a youngster.
Saw a few roos and lots of birds, and a LOT of campers in the rocky paddock section.

Well the last one in the walk.. Now Mrs Bee wonders how ou would get this one when its wet, she figures swim for it... we would send Harleyjohn over to collect it!
Instead down the creek bed we go and up the other side signed the log and walked to our parked car zone . Thanks for the walk along an area that we wouldnt have come to if it wasnt for caching.
Travellinbees

Out for the day knocking off some animal facts with locus cache, ismartis, travellinbees plus geopets brodie and winnie. We went up hills and down hills round bends and over bridges. We seen the fires devastation and the new growth coming back.
Thanks for placing thos cache for us to find.
Harleyjohn2569

Brodie and I set out to do the 8 Animal Facts caches on the boardwalk at Mt Crawford Forest and then the 31 OTDs of January down Kuitpo Forest way.
We were accompanied by travellinbees, Winnie and Harleyjohn2569 for the boardwalk caches and then I picked up Ismartis on our way to the Kuitpo caches.
Final total of 47 smileys for the day and lots of fun!

Having heard that this small group of caches are doomed to a pending archiving, I wanted to check them out before they disappear
We parked travellinbees' car at one end and Harry at the other as we knew that a big day was planned.
Great walk in a very dry area....No high grass, no waterlogged boardwalk and very little water in any of the low lying dam/wet areas.
Perfect weather, sunny and yet not hot and many laughs were had at the dog house

After speaking to the CO I wanted to do these caches soon so New Year's Day seemed a good time and after attending Freddo's X Marks the Spot event I headed up here with JJ52 to go for a stroll along the boardwalk.

CPWanderer had warned me to be careful of snakes but thankfully we didn't encounter any.

We found all 8 caches and wondered what it would be like here in the wetter months with more water around for the birds. We never imagined that in a couple of days the nearby hills would have a massive fire burning through them

It did end up getting quite hot so a few shade stops along the way were in order , including a longer stop in the bird hide on the return journey . Silly us did end up here in the hottest part of the day, but we are blaming that on Freddo

Thanks for a lovely boardwalk series 3LG [^]

After attending Freddo's New Year Event Ismartis and I headed up to Mt Crawford forest to have a nice walk along the boardwalk to find the caches that we believe may not be here for much longer.
We parked the car at the suggested spot and armed with plenty of water we set off. [^] [^]
Had a lovely walk stopping for the caches in a variety of hides, although it would have been much more comfortable if it had been about 10 degrees cooler.
Thankfully didn't spot any snakes, no wildlife around except for one small furry animal that ran away quickly after being startled. It was too quick for me to identify.
We found all 8 caches, had numerous stops on the way back and loved the bird hide where we cooled down for a while.
Thanks for the caches 3LG and for bringing us here.

Popped by today to grab a few caches on this awesome boardwalk. Flying blind as I had no reception on the iPhone. Plenty of geotrails leading me all over the place, except to the find.

The first cache of the series. Interesting location. This could be hard to get to if the rains came down.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

What an amazing series of caches along a boardwalk in the forest past wetlands.

This series of 7 caches forms a series that would prrobably rate in my top 10 series for this year.
What a pity it is hidden amoungst the animal facts series and will probably be overlooked by people lumping it in with the other caches.

I had an amazing time walking through here.

I know I will be coming back in the middle of winter to see it flowing with water.

A beautiful experience.

Out for a bit of caching while the wife has a BBQ to go too. I dragged the wonderful burtons out for a drive as well.

Loving this part of your series, great caches in a great area.

Thank you for the cache 3LG, this was number 8 for the day.

Theshattells 1023

Had a fun time out caching with Mr Shattell.

I think we were barrel eyed after looking for caches.

Really enjoyed the short walk along the board walk and learning some animal facts

Cheers and thanks for the cache

Out for a drive in the hills to find a good spot for lunch. To build up the appetite, I promised a short walk to grab a few of these. Plenty left for next time! Plenty!!

Clear skies to 3LG from TeamAstro.

Found on a bike ride on a nice day to collect some caches.
TFTC

Great set of caches. Very pleased that you have set this up so we can enjoy a beautiful afternoon

First one of the Mt Crawford series today. Thanks 3LG.

Back to my hiking shoes. I parked my car near the intersection. Managed to walk across the creek and found it easily. Took Pathtag.

Thanks 3LG for the cache

One of a few found with Don't Panic Arthur while out in the Mt. Crawford area.
Thanks for the cache 3LG

Found while out with ttrogg in the Mt Crawford area.
TFTC 3LG

Nice easy cache thanks for the cache cheers

Found at 1110hrs, nice easy find after a rather wet walk from the car. Nearly needed a kayak. Thanks 3LG.

Had to head to Mt Crawford to check conditions for next weeks Scouts Rally SA so grabbed some caches along the way and around the spectator area. There is a lot of water flowing around in the forest so the cars better stay on the tracks next weekend. TFTC.

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega.

After completing a few caches in the morning we headed back to camp for some lunch.

Well as we ate Mr Felix decided that the rain had passed by and wanted to head out caching again. Mrs Felix didn't agree with his weather forecast so agreed to drop him at one end of a walk and pick him up at the other end whilst she stayed dry and read a book. Just over 1km and 8 caches how long can it take [?]

Hmmm well apparently the creeks and streams that we crossed this morning were rather small compared to the dams that Mr Felix had to negotiate this afternoon. See some pics attached.

Indeed some of the caches were floating when located, and the showers of rain just kept coming. When he thought they had passed another few mins and another was upon him.

Certainly an interesting walk in these conditions and the terrain rating is much higher in these wet months. But surely the most memorable of this series.

TFTC

Should have been an easy task, just jump across and get it. But the first place I tried was too wide, and the next, the next as well. Maybe just a little further I can find a crossing. Hmmm. Well I know there's a bridge near Chalks campground...

...walked to Chalks. Found a cache down there, then walked all the way back (600m) to here to find this. I have a feeling that there's some kind of karma involved.

Was worth it, of course. Thanks for the cache, 3LG

Originally intending on heading south along the track we came across a rather full creek in out path. Mrs SA4agers wasn't too keen on jumping across rocks so we had a rethink and changed our approach. TNLNSL TFTC 3LG!

Out with Aussie M & M, official driver and brisal5.... not a great day for a walk in the rain but oh well no point in complaining...
Thanks for the cache.

Mogni was in town for work...again. So I picked her up and we headed off for some caching in the hills. We called in and collected Aussie Mary who became official driver!
Our driver dropped us at this end of the trail and drove to the other to pick us up. She was going to have a walk with us but as it had just started to drizzle and she had already done these she left us too it.
The trail started well and it was light rain when we crossed the creek and up the slippery slope to GZ. A quick find for mogni and we were on our way. Thanks 3LG

After visiting Kea, we were off to Barreleye Fish, along the boardwalk with a short departure of the boards to collect the cache. A word of *** WARNING *** what looked like a baby snake was nestled alongside the cache; though it could have been a legless lizard. It disappeared before I could get a really close look at it. Cache was returned using a stick! TNLNSL Thanks for another cache and a burst of adrenalin!

Definitely would not like to meet this fish in the deep sea or an other unusual creatures of the deep
had to cross over small water way which luckily today had no water in it
cache was found in obvious spot
tftc

Found on a walk along the forest trail. Geokids had a great time, despite the cold and wet. Thanks for the great hide

nice walk in the afternoon to get these , tftc

Out for an outing with grandies, started off just cold but then rain set in but no wind so was pleasant walking around. Many different types of fungi in colour and size. TFTC

By the time we got here, the rain had really set in and we were starting to get a bit soggy .
It was hard to protect the log book, even though we hurried, so it's now a bit damp inside the bag . TNLNSL.
Thanks for one more 3GL and getting us to walk through the area [^].
Unfortunately, with the rain setting in again, we were a bit damp by the time we got back to the car, so we called it quits for the day and dried off back home .

Easy find.
Looks like I followed DISK around these caches today. Must have been as silly as me, in the forest in the rain!
Tftc.

tftc great day out in a very nice spot with barely any muggles tnsl

What a strange fish!!!
Beta tested this cache when it was placed.
You certainly have found some strange animals.

Out and about with Miss GG on a wonderful day, we decided to make it a day in the forest.

We saw this little trail and decided that would be perfect for our walk. I did not know this was here how long has it been here... ?

We also checked out the local camp spots... Looks awesome will have to come and camp here and tick off the rest of the caches around

Thanks for the caches 3LG, sorry for the generic log

Today Darknstormy and i were heading to Mt Crawford for a lovely walk and some caching

After the overcast morning the day turned out nice and sunny and made for a perfect day spent in the sun

Thanks for the cache 3LG

We had a nice stroll collecting this set of animal facts on the boardwalk. Our last find here, but more importantly, we also passed 1000 caches in the process. Thank you 3LG for putting these out, we thoroughly enjoy collecting your animal facts in these wonderful surroundings! TNLNSL TFTC

No Barreleye Fish nearby, a cache is though. Log signed. TFTC 3LG.

Started from this end of the trail before the light faded this evening!!! Quickly located the prize!! Thanks 3LG for the hide ................................ a great spot for these caches ........ my type od caching!!

We started with this cache on the trail back toward the Forties parking area. A nice easy find to begin our day's caching efforts, which ended with 17 finds and one cache where we were muggled out. Thanks for setting up this series 3LG.

End of the boardwalk and nice to log a find.Finally dad finds one before the kid.Left Poland flag micro geocoin..Thanks for bringing us out here today...

Woohoo. {FTF}
) An empty log. I'm not a FTF Hound but it's nice to get them.
After really really wanting to FTF the Kea cache (which I managed) I thought there'd be a pretty good chance on this one.
Had me looking though. I nearly DNF-ed but tried one more spot.
There's something going on in the forest with lots of cars and I think I could hear music. (Turns out it was Birdwood School's Farm Day. )
TFTC 3LG )
2:40 pm - Find #1648

I was out this way when I saw the new caches pop up, well almost, I'd been orienteering in Para Wirra CP. It was a learning experience getting the coords from the phone onto the GPSr and I managed 6 sets of the 8 before deciding to make a dash for some possible FTFs.

Found walking along with Apty.

Apty kindly gave me the final two sets of coords I needed to finish this mini series.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.
