The usual Tuesday Trekking for some members of befuddled puzzle solvers. [^] Once again Plan A was to meet at a cache at Glenelg and wander around Southwards collecting smileys. [^] Plan A lasted for one cache a few weeks ago. Surprised This week I met Ttrogg and S.A. Sewer Rats at out DNF from last week which had been rectified and we strangely pretty much stuck to plan A . Big Grin Here is what I found today. Cool

Like most I found Nada at the given coordinates. Sad But of course I did find it at another likely hiding spot 20 metres away as I made my way back to the geomobile. Smile Has it moved. [?]

Couldn’t find it, not sure if there’s still anything here, could have been disturbed by council groundkeeers.

After a brunch event in Prospect and visiting family in the northeastern suburbs, I’ve headed south to Onkaparinga, where I still have many hides to find. This is one of ten caches found down that way today.



Im not sure that this is a good idea sending cachers into a zone where there are two very active hives. How placid are bees when there is a rival hive nearby - I don’t know the answer to that, and was worried about getting caught up in a territory dispute. Plus the coordinates are significantly out too. Get in and out fast. I sure did.

Thanks for the excitement eemmaatt33.

Found during a tour of the southern suburbs on a great day for caching, about 15 metres away from where the GPS was pointing. The bees were out in abundance. Thanks for the cache eemmaatt33!

WOW! It was really tricky to find at first but when I had a better look I found it!!

As seems to be normal for me in 2022 my plan didn’t quite plan out the way it was supposed to. Instead of heading down to Myponga I ended up finding a few caches much closer to home.
14 caches found with no dnf, so all up ended up being a good afternoon out.
Nice quick find here TFTC

Had been down this way only 3 days ago but when I realised there was a new AdLab out on the Coast to Vines Rail Trail knew I'd be coming back soon. Did the AdLab first and managed to find 10 physical caches on or close to the rail trail. Had a quick break back at the car then headed over to Woodcroft and found another 10 traditionals.
Spent a while looking around where my GPSr took me, then read some previous logs and realised the co-ords were likely to be out so looked further afield and saw the obvious tree then made a quick find.
Thanks to eemmaatt33 for putting out this cache for me to find.

Hello I didn’t find it and I don’t think it said but if you could give me a another hint of where it might be I might be able to find it thank you
 
03-Jul-21
A nice damp day for a nice dry find. Cheers!
 
04-Jun-21
Chose the wrong day to park on the wrong side of the creek today as it had been raining last night. But nice gentle walk along the bubbling stream made up for it.
My coordinates were a bit out but looked for where bees might be and soon found cache. Container is a bit broken but still dry inside. TFTC
 
20-Jan-21
A nice drive around the back roads and found myself here the cache was easily found and is all good

With the whole day to kill and an early birds event in the city I decided I would head to the southern suburbs after being down the last night I wanted to clean up a few more of the caches in the area and mainly targeting the walking caches. All up 39 finds for the day.

Thanks eemmaatt33 for this cache. Like a previous finder, I found myself in the middle of flat ground, knowing one of the trees nearby had to be the target. I found the cache around 20 metres from the posted coords, in fairly good condition. Thanks for bringing me here to this location.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading around the area today for work and during morning tea was travelling form worksite to worksite and just had to grab a cache or two on the way targeting those required for the world wonder activity that is currently active. Parked close-by to this one and wandered over, nearly falling into the creek. Not a good look. Wandered to the area of GZ but the GPS wanted me in an empty area so widened the search area and after inspecting a few holes discovered the cache. Extracted the log, stamped it and then replaced it all in its holy hide. Back to the car to head to the next worksite.
Gratias pro cache eemmaatt33

GPS had me about 20 meters away from cache and it’s usually pretty accurate. Clue helped enormously though. Thanks
 
19-Jul-20
Holes are a good hint
Great spot
 
06-May-20
Indeed this is a Bee-haven and rest assured i was looking out for such a creature in their thousands [:o]

Initially i was looking at the wrong tree but the one a little to the west of my GPS' position was much more a likely spot.... and it sure was [^]

The cache was found just short of one orbit of the impressive natural structure Wink

Thanks to the previous comments re the coordinates bees were soon spotted and the cache was in hand.

Heading a few finds for the day, I made my way back south in search of more caches. Cache was found reasonably quickly despite the coordinates being off by about 20 meters.

A bee-t tricky to get to! We also came in from the wrong side, then drove around to the other side and found we were on the wrong side of the creek. Managed to find a precarious crossing along some rocks. A very nice day, good to see the weather changing! The bees were quite intimidating, and that's coming from someone who researches (native, not honey) bees! Be(e) sure to check out the lovely green lowers dotting the creek area, they're quite interesting.

TFTC!

The usual animals outing from the Puzzled Puzzlers. Today the Rat and the Adder met with the Owl to clear up a few more down south.

A find by the owl after a short search, Yes we were Bee-haven, well for the most part anyhow.

TFTC
 
28-Aug-19
The Rat and the Adder arranged to meet the Owl down south.
We managed to across to this one.
Although this one was found around 17 meters from the listed coords.
The Adder finally slithered to the cache. tftc
 
28-Aug-19
Owl joined a Rat and a Snake for a caching trip down south and spent the day hooning around Woodcroft collecting signatures in little boxes. This one took a bit of effort to get the right approach, but there were no bees and the cache was eventually located some distance from the coordinates. For future finders, better ones might be: S 35° 05.995 E 138° 33.359.

It is very well hidden it took us a while to find it but when we found out we swapped a little pink dinosaur for a purple bracelet

It was hidden very well but it was a good spot

Eventually we approached this one from the right side. After thanking Jess for bee-ing there we had a good laugh and moved on to the next cache. TFTC

Came in from the wrong direction at first, but managed to get across to this cache. I’d like to thank my mum for bee-ing with me to find this cache. TFTC

as i was heading towards this one i spotted the exact location
the local birds were not to happy to see me.

As everyone else said, we found it 20 metres from waypoints but in the logical place.
No bees today
Thanks for the cache

Lost count with this one about 19, one to go. Hoping to find at least 20 today with Ismartis. We were successful, with only one DNF and one fly swallowed. Really enjoyed the caches around the wetlands. All caches found were all well maintained and hints were helpful, which made for an enjoyable day out. Thanks to all the cache owners we had a fun day.
 
30-Dec-18
A half day caching trip with my friend gral4 took us in a southish direction with the aim of getting 20 caches to qualify for the You might be a Trackable Lover souvenir on offer ATM but with time quickly running out.

We navigated to Another Park and then we just kept going from there as there was always another not too far off. Decided there was good cache density in this area and we did quite a bit of walking, including around the wetlands.

Coords were 17m out for me but we still found it.
