Im no longer as mobile as I was and find it difficult to get around to maintain these caches.
In Whyalla visiting the family. Bit of spare time for a little caching. Quick find. Tftc.
Living in Whyalla all this time, this will be the 3rd time visiting this place, 2nd time for a Cache. TFTC
This weekend, I headed to Whyalla to catch up with a few other Geocachers and attempt some of the trails there. On Saturday, we targeted the FTF power trail from Whyalla to Iron Knob, and then spent the evening and the subsequent morning driving some of Whyalla's back tracks. On Sunday, I visited Cowleds Landing and back north, only to get severely bogged in one of Whyalla's clay pans. I then returned home via the August series.
Today, we started the day at a meet/greet breakfast event, and then I headed out with hevwalker and scramping for a few more geocaches south-west of Whyalla along the back tracks and main road, followed by the December trail series. I then continued south visiting Cowleds Landing and the proclaimed nudist beach. I next found *Potty Time*, only to realise that I had driven on the nearby clay pans, and then sank into the soft clay below on my way out. Eventually I had help in getting out, and finished my remaining time in Whyalla completing the pipeline August series, and calling into Whyalla Conservation Park for a few high favourite caches. I then made the long journey back to Adelaide stopping at a few miscellaneous geocaches along the way.
This geocache took me a few minutes, looking around the various small shrubs, bushes and trees. My initial coordinates took me out to the open, and then I was looking around from there. I think my issue was that the cache was hidden on the opposite side to where I was, which lengthened my search. The cache container is currently ok, but it is getting very brittle, and likely feeling the effects of the full sun on it every day. The logbook was also in good shape. Thanks Kev the Rev for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

No chance of being bogged today. 35 in the sun.

Sad time to be in Whyalla - to say goodbye to a man who can never be replaced....

Easy to find, but slippery to get to gz...
Spending a few days in Whyalla and found a few cache, or 300!
Had managed to solve all the puzzles before coming over too.
Of the nearly 300 found on the trip over and back from Adelaide, 95% were found within 50km of Whyalla Central, with approx a dozen dnfs also. Amongst all the finds was my 17000th find.
Also managed a lot of 'unloved' finds too.
What is it with Whyalla and mint tins? lol
