Found with Jamesta18 today while doing some off the road caches, its our Anniversary weekend so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and find some caches This cache was our first for the day and I would have to say my favourite of the day.. We probably made this harder than it needed to be lol and even touched it a few times lol but something caught my eye, after a quick grab,I had it in hand Beautiful scenery too TFTC

Southern Autumn adventure Day 39. Mid North section of SA trip Day 10. Barossa Valley Day 2. The direction for today was Angaston. I was distracted by the markets first and then made it to Angaston. I started with a few caches around town and then hit the bike trail on my scooter to finish the caches back to where I left off the other day. The rest of the day was spent caching between Angaston, Tanunda and Nuriootpa, picking up what I was able to until I hit my daily count for this trip.

There are lots of places a cache may be in a spot like this near a huge tree like this one. I did not manage to locate the cache today, and I hope it is still there somewhere.

Thanks.

Another quick find

Another Wednesday Wandering for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. We gathered at the Lyndoch and myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats headed out for a day of caching in and around the Barossa Razz Except for 2 DNF's (Damn the list is growing again) we managed to find all we looked for. We were last moth and yet there were five new puzzles solved to look for. Big Grin As usual there were a few laughs, a picnic lunch and these are the caches we found [B)]Cool

Cache back in place, time to call in and get this off my map. A quick find once you approach from the correct direction rather than the right one! Smile

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks CheekySatyr for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin

This cache took way longer than it needed too, not sure the cache is hidden where it is hidden but we found it in the end

After riding from berri to swan reach this morning, I met up with Freddo for the remains of the day and got a few caches for the drive home.

Not if the cache is still the way it was meant to be. The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

A quick find with accurate co-ords, but why hide a micro here, when an ammo can would still be hidden?

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

In the Barossa, staying in Nuri with our good friends Snappy Tom Cats. HevWalker joined us for the weekend, and needed to find three caches today for her latest challenge. So it was an all girl caching trio - SnappyTom Di, HevWalker and Mrs Dunmowin

Rocked up to the Koala Hotel,( luving these back roads) and STD pounced on the cache as it fell out of it's hidey hole. Signed, and returned quickly and we were on our way. Thanks CheekySatyr

How stressful is it when you're stuck on a night shift and see a new cache come out Surprised

Made it to the morning, stuck an extra hour waiting for the next shift...

No... still no logs, so off I went.

Been down this road for a cache before.

A truly awesome specimen of tree.

And it comes with a well disguised cache Cool

Fav for the thought gone into making the cache and for not using one of those mint tins Razz
