A quick find to earn my last cache of 2018 souvenir! Running out of easy terrain caches close to home! TFTC guys! Happy New Year
Found on the 24th ,thought i would have to leave it because of the muggle tossing a ball to his dog , but realised one of the other trees was strategically placed to hide what i was up to 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.
Hood piece of SA history, and it is a shame that we don’t seem to be leading the way in representing equality. A nice cache to retrieve, 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.

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!
Found at 16:19 with Olga simultaneously with Stephen, on a ride from Seaford to McLaren Vale and back. Our last before the train back home. Thanks for all the caches. It was a great day out.
Thanks for these caches, it makes my initiation into the world of geocaching fun and simple. I dont feel quite such a noob.
Needed to get a few caches before I go home next week. This trip to Aust hasn't gone the best with family health problems and airline problems. Might not be back here for a while. TFTC

Decided to do 3 close caches to get into the swing of things again !
Lid missing from this one, spider guarding log book!

Headed out for a walk along the rail trail to continue this series in reverse. Not many muggles around today and was much easier on foot than on bike. Started at 26 December and continued back to 12 December. Will be back to complete the series another day.
Found quite exposed and with no lid. Searched around but couldn't find the lid. Looks like they have mown around the trees recently. Covered with better cammo but needs maintenance.

It may be a year and 5 days later, but I'm finally back! And this time got a set of wheels to hopefully speed the process.
Gps tried to throw me off, but got there in the end.

Why did the balloon go near the needle?

Had a lovely lunch at one of the wineries in the Vale and then did a few geocaches on the way home to round off our numbers to 4850 TFTC!
Found this one in pieces we didn't find the lid just the container and log reassembled as best we could and hid at base of tree.

I joined fellow members of the Puzzled Puzzlers Group (S.A. Sewer Rats, doctor owl and blackadders) for a day with a mission.[8)] - Get S.A. Sewer rats to a find totaol of 4999 so that she could go and find SFE - 5000 finds for her magical 5000 th find. 
. Should be a piece of cake. But finding a group of caches that we all hadn't already had at least one find on was near impossible. [xx(] So we ventured down south and when I joined the others we still needed almost 30 finds. 
After lunch it was time for some more walking along the December OTD trail. [8)] Another quick find before back to move further down the trail.
Thanks 3LG for this cache.

The hilux conveniently moved on, just as the team arrived, and the cache was retrieved.
It was organised by the wise Owl Starfish and Snake to help Mrs Rat get to 5000 finds.
So the Snake picked Mrs Rat up and we met up with Dr Owl.
We then met up with the starfish at another cache.
We had a mammoth task to find 30 caches, before a dash to the 5000th cache.
This was a quick find.

Generic Log :
At an recent event there was a whisper that a particular Rat was nearing her 5000th find and that she only needed 30 to reach the goal. Mr. Blackadder, hearing this thought Hmm what an opportunity to get out on such a wonderful day with a small but fun group of fellow cachers and to witness the big 5000 finds he would invite himself along. Picking up Mrs SA Sewer Rat, meeting an Owl and then meeting up with a Starfish would make for a good day out. With a few minor disagreements on the navigation aspect we finally made a number of finds including of course this one. Many were easy and a few were not so obvious however smileys were eventually gained. TFTC and the series, some of which will need to be completed at a later date.

Out on the geo-bikes to finish the series we started quite a few months ago! TFTC
Beautiful day to be out cycling and geocaching with most of December found and 3 of the October series. Thanks 3LG
Thoroughly enjoyed this section of OTD series on a beaut warm winter afternoon on the bikes with Shetland. 14 finds and 1 DNF. Found temp cache but quite vulnerable. Thanks for providing this series for our enjoyment.
Continuing to do the OTD series in date order (well, as much as possible) and finally we've made it to December . Out on the bikes on a cool, clear morning was invigorating 
, but at least it wasn't raining .
Found the original container out in the open, but empty 
. Looked around for quite some metres in every direction - couldn't spot the old log sheet anywhere [B)].
Tore a strip of paper from the run sheet and put our stamp on it, leaving it in the container as a temporary log - should be good for a couple of dozen team names. (Hope this is OK - please let us know if it isn't)

Placed the cache near the base of the tree at GZ and covered it with some sticks and leaves [8].
Thanks 3LG.

Jumped on the mountain bikes with the geowife and grabbed the caches along the Coast to Vines rail trail. The geowife spotted this one from a far. Signed log
With beautiful weather for the whole Easter weekend there was of course plenty of caching to be done. Today was time to made a start on the OTD Series down at McLaren Vale. Given the late start it was doubtful that I would be able to complete the whole trail so I set my self a manageable task of doing roughly half and thankfully I was able to just complete this and getting back to the car just as night was falling. An enjoyable walk was had in doing this series and hopefully I can complete the rest in the next few weeks.

Day Thirty One of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are still at Semaphore in Adelaide.
Today we headed South again with the deadly treadlies and tackled one and a half OTD trails (and ancillary caches).
Lunch at a winery in McLaren Vale. A cool overcast day, just perfect for caching.
On This Day (after lunch) we then moved onto the December edition.
We parked near #15 at a really nice little picnic area, and unloaded the bikes.
Then we went east first, then back North.
This series seemed to be a bit further off the track, a bit more walking on the first 15.
The second part was messy. Of the six we did only one was in its correct position, one was completely gone (found the tie still in the tree), and most were on the ground. We stopped at this stage.
A really nice ride and cache (particularly the first 15) through lovely countryside.
Thanks for this series.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12265. Day 31 of our SA holiday. Starting to feel very sad as we only have two more days left in Adelaide and we have had such a marvellous time with wonderful weather and many days of fairly concentrated caching. Today we loaded the bikes and went to McLaren Vale to do two more months of the OTD series. Although the weather was so much cooler it was very good for riding and I think this is one of the best days we have had - caching by bike amongst the vines with gorgeous scenery. We also picked up several caches that were also on the trail, or nearby.
Thanks 3LG

We had a lovely day out on the trails in the southern wine area. This was one of the caches that we targetted and were able to find. Thanks to 3LG for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Thanks for this series 3LG. It got quite hot out here today and the terrain wasn't always hugely attractive for cleated road bike shoes but I had a great day. Thanks for the cache.
