Three Confused Puzzlers out for another Tuesday Trek. After the Rat was delivered to my cave, we trekked down to the Starfish's pool and then set out to see what could be found. The growing series of trads around Mount Barker were probably my main aim (all the newies were found, even scored a FTF on one) but quite a few others were found as well and we ended up in Strathalbyn before it was time to head home.Another quick find just for me, thanks fellow Confused Puzzlers.Thanks to Team Waldron for making this cache available to be found.Cache #14399 for me.This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).****SAs Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024.

In reality we signed this cache on the 2/12/21, our GPS died on us yesterday and this meant that today we were caching using our phone. The phone showed that this one was still sitting on the map. SL TFTC

Full time nomads exploring SA, currently staying in Strathalbyn. Up at 5am for the ANZAC dawn service then off geocaching. On return to the caravan park (footy oval) another ANZAC service was under way before the A grade match.

It was lovely driving through towns and past houses that had put out tributes as we drove around.

LEST WE FORGET, they served to give us our freedom.

Thanks Team Waldron.

Catching up with late logs.

We made a spur of the moment choice to visit South Australia and try our luck at the Adventure Labs here as well as anything else that popped up close by.

We spotted this one and headed here looking at all the green as over home every thing is turning brown. Again we headed off to a logical location to hide a cache and again we were rewarded with a nice quick find and we have added our name to the log.
Thanks once more Team Waldron for the cache.

Having missed FTF on a Snakes and Ladders #2 cache a couple of days ago while with erine14Sad, we'd arranged to come back this morning and brought alysse14 and JJ52 as wellCool
After this we all drove to Kuitpo and did a TOTT cache togetherSmile and shared a short walk into the new Joker cacheSmile then it was Meadows for lunch[^]
JJ52 and I continued caching in a loop from there to Strathalbyn, Langhorne Creek, Milang and concluded our day doing an adventure lab cache grab tour around Victor in the dark on a rainy wet night like a couple of old time smugglersRazzWinkBig Grin[^]
1 SadDNF and 13 Smilefinds for a fantastic day out with lovely peopleSmileCool[:X][^]Big Grin
In the meantime, I was interviewed on the phone by a Melbourne uni group who are looking into geospatial awareness and thought geocachers may be able to assisst them in the information gathering stage of their app developmentCool I think we may have a new geocacher!Cool[^]WinkBig GrinSmile

The cache name made us a little apprehensive as we drove towards GZ but the road surface was quite good when we got there. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find although when attempting to retrieve the cache, the container flicked out into the paddock. Our trusty walking pole was all that was needed to retrieve it. The cache and contents wee in good condition. Thanks Team Waldron for the cache.

On my way to Mount Gambier and got stuck behind a slow moving horse float, so I decided to grab a one just off the way. Strangely I got stuck behind it again about 15 minutes later but no more distractions found.
Thanks to Team Waldron from mogni Big Grin

Came down to Strath yesterday and realized there were some new caches here since the last time I cleared it out. Didn't have enough time yesterday to look for them all so returned today to grab the rest. Cool That was the plan but of course there was one I couldn't find so I will have to come back again. Surprised
Having added to my DNF total with another in Strath I decided to return home via an alternative route and try and clean one off the list. This time it was a quick find in the first place I had tried last time. Smile Stamped the nice new log whilst being watched by both sheep and kangaroos from the paddock! [8)]

Out for a maintenance run on my caches. May as well call in and find a few as well. Big Grin
That was the plan but it didn't go so well with me adding two DNF's to my ever growing list. Twisted This was the second one.
The obvious spot was of course the post but it was neither in nor by it. Sad So I invoked rule 22, if in doubt spread out. I then found a very obvious SPOR being a tree a few metres away but alas no cache. So I invoked rule 22 again and went up to 15 metres one way, back the same the other, even the other side of the Schmidtty road but still no more obvious spots of caches. [B)] back to the GZ on my GPS for one last look. Even tired where only a micro or nano would fit. still nada. [:(!] You pwned this noob. [B)]
In the words of The Terminator. "I'll be back."

**Thanks Team Waldron for the search anyway. ** Razz

No sign of this one today. Sad
We had a good look everywhere, especially the obvious spot.
My rural son Sebastbat thinks the fence has been renewed, and this may have disturbed the cache hide.
He could be right !
Thanks for the challenge Team Waldron ,
will place on the watch list and return asap when it's been found or maintained!

Decided to go for a nice Sunday drive that ended up being 300km from home to Strathalbyn, Wellington, Jervois and Tailem Bend grabbing the odd cache along the way. [^]
When I left home the sun was shining, but the further I drove the greyer and windier it got and I encountered the odd shower of rain, but mostly while I was driving, not while I was looking for caches...that was pretty lucky. Cool

This was my first stop and a nice quick one along a nice dirt road. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache Team Waldron. Smile
