Wasn’t able to sign log as container was full of water. Log will probably need to be replaced.
Perfectly sunny day for a pedal Prob did 16 or so kliks from McLaren Vale to Old Noarlunga return - map showed 13km as the crow flies. Mixed results on the caching but picked up the pace closer to the coast. A swag of DNFs near my start point on the Shiraz Trail Then back to the Shingleback winery a bit later for tasting after I stowed the bike on the car.
Impressed with the good coords. Liked the containers for ride-by caching. A couple of hides with a Terrain rating of mountain goat but I was wearing runners. One butt slide to get back down to the track. A few waves and strange looks from others taking advantage of the balmy weather
Saving the other half of this trail for another day
TFTC COs Couldn’t have asked for a better excursion today.

Hi LíB, I found OTD 5.12 December 5th today. Unfortunately some waters got into this one and leaked blue die from a stamp everywhere. Kind of looks like a Smurf was killed in that one!
Many thanks LíB for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Out for an afternoon caching on the bike today. Made my way through the December series without too much trouble. Tftc!!
It was a beautiful day for a walk along the Shiraz Trail in the company of The 4 Hawks and Moose 3. With the sun shining and a nice cool breeze we collected all the caches in this series between South Rd and Victor Harbour Rd. Thanks for taking the trouble to put out these caches.
Camping at Mt Compass for Easter today Mr Felix decided to cycle from Willunga to Old Noarlunga picking off caches as he went. Great day out but boy was the cycle trail busy and by the time he finished it was 33degrees and a bit warm. [B)]

INTERNATIONAL NINJA DAY
International Ninja Day recognizes the fascination associated with the history and pop culture of the ninja.
Ninjas first appeared around the year 600. Historically, they served samurai warriors. They spied on or assassinated an enemy. While some sources suggest they were fallen samurai, most point to the common man – and woman. They walked among the farmers and servants of everyday life.
However, the skills of a ninja were passed down from generation to generation. If a father were a ninja, then he would likely train his son or daughter to be one, too.
In Japan, museums focus on ninja history and lifestyle.
Ninja Museum of Igaryū – The museum features the tools of the trade, demonstrations, and residence.
Kōka Ninja Village – Attend ninja camp and challenges. Tour the museum and many more facilities.
Novels and films have brought the way of the ninja to the mainstream. From Japanese action films to animated turtles, ninja movies covered the spectrum. Spy novels, comic books, and series captured the imaginations of every age. Their mystery fed storylines across genres until ninja became a genre all its own.
HOW TO OBSERVE #InternationalNinjaDay
Celebrate the day by learning more about ninjas. Read about their history or watch a ninja documentary. Try to move as quietly and as quickly as a ninja. Share your ninja tricks and secrets with someone. Learn a martial art.

In Port Elliott today, great day for caching out to get a few near McLaren Vale before the heat hits later this week. TFTC
Put the sweat wheels on the car today and headed south, with primary aim being a couple of trads left in the O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park which is in my 42K circle from home. After that I headed further south to the December OTD series where the bike would also be useful. Ended up finding all 25 left in the series.
Thanks LíB for the cache and the series.

Down South again on this Perfect, Sunny but cool day of Wednesday the 9th of September 2020, i decided to finish off this the "OTD December" Series having done the rest from 17 December upwards a while ago. Pls note, all hides were found and were in good condition. [Some moisture-munchers were added where they were missing in some of the caches].

Decided to go for a walk today and had a look on the map and this OTD series looked good! started on sth rd side and convinced myself that I would go to the bridge and head back to the car.. but I ended up walking all the way to Victor Harbour Rd, Mclaren vale and back! Seen a fair bit of wildlife, snals, bugs, a RED BACK SPIDER, Kangaroos, a FROG and some sheep! TFTC!
Found while out for a casual day of caching with Dr Owl.

Another cache that was found after a very short search, caches seem easier to find when you know what you're searching for.---SL------TNLN----TFTC
On a day of scattered showers, gridge98 and I decided to grab our bikes and do some of the December OTD series from Noarlunga.
Probably one of the more beautiful sections of the coast to vines bike trail. We found the cache nearby and signed, thanks 3LG.

Last night after the vent Davidwazza and I decided that we would come and tackle this OTD December today. Majority were fairly easy finds others took a few minutes and a bit of searching. Only one DNF along the way.
A very enjoyable ride and some nice views of the vineyards makes it that little bit special.

As it was such a nice afternoon we decided to walk part of the trail to collect some of the OTD December series. Luckily we had the trail almost to ourselves which meant a quick find at GZ. TFTC and thanks for the series in such a beautiful location!
Fifth find on a lovely morning walking through the vines. This is such a lovely trail, thanks for the caches!
Found during a very pleasant day cycling along part of the Coast to Vines Rail Trail, enjoying the exercise, searches and scenery. Thanks for the cache 3LG!
Decided I needed to go for a walk. It was way too hot today. If the heat keeps up will go home soon. Too hot for a kiwi here
Out with Aussie M & M grabbing a few more caches in my new local area, after work. Some were a little harder to find than others.
Thanks to 3LG from mogni
