Suscoe headed out for a day wandering along the coast from Robe down to Beachport. We found caches close to the ocean and some inland. The ocean looked great today and the beaches were splendid.We lost count of the birds we saw today which included birds of prey, parrots, cockatoos, pigeons and finches.We found a terrific variety of caches and enjoyed our day out.Thanks to the NiceNannies for this cache and series along Bog Lane.A favourite from us.

No turning right today to get bogged, today Im heading to Beachport to celebrate International Geocaching Day with some fellow cachers at an event.TFTC NiceNanniesKeep smiling

Quick find here today as I made my way past, cache is all goodThis weekend Courtneyrose_ and I headed to Mount Gambier for Morgo the Geos 500th Parkrun. Today being solo heading home I made my way from Millicent to Adelaide finding unfound caches around the SE. Thanks for the cache

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Robe for a few days to grab some finds. Beautiful winters day as we range to Rendelham and Beachport tidying up straggler caches. Thanks for the hide. LNCU

Looked everywhere

What a cool find. Nice little hide. Log is very full. TFTC.

Found it

Have to be very sneaky! Good cache

Geoturtle37 and I are slowly dotting our way home finding caches along the way. Unfortunately, we do have limited time so that curbs how many we can stop for. We do like to take roads that don't have bitumen when possible so this was must and so pleased we did. We have decided to head to Beachport and have a look around. Thanks for this and the other caches along this road.

Been out of the game too long this one had me stumped but the Sleep Lab had it as a newbie in no time! Aust Day weekend

Sneaky find

Nice easy find on our way to Robe for Melbourne Cup weekend tftc

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

Away for a couple of days with Featherwaite.

We concentrated on Kingston, Robe, Cape Jaffa, Beachport and Southend.

We mainly found all the cache we were looking for.

Eventually spotted it.

TFTC

Found during a trip to the SE with Team Waldron targeting Kingston, Robe, Beachport and Southend, with a few other cache finds along the way. Enjoyed finding the ominously named Bog Lane series, all without getting bogged, bogged down or stuck! Thanks for the cache NiceNannies!

Staying in Robe for a few days, stopped for a find, glad it wasn’t a tree climb

This one was very CAMOflaged

good find thank you! something different for us to search for, TFTC

Bit tricky but easy find

A quick get away down south with the usual crew Mattycat and PerfectDI and Jack, a fun little play on word series a quick find for us today cache was in great condition
TFTC NiceNannies

A different direction, down SE for a change with Jack, Purrfect Di and the froghoppin folk.

Not a lot of caches, but a lot of fun. Sunshine, snakes and smilies

Don't get bogged... we didn't. (But we did get cached!)


Appreciation for the cache placement NiceNannies , and ongoing maintenance

--------------------------------------

Do please take care out there,
it's a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and objects falling from trees
...... but a cache a day still keeps the boredom away

--------

Most of our caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids.
No apples or other fruit needed An apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away, we've tried that

----------
Make sure that Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - clean and cache the countryside


It's awesome of all those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas,
in sensible safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...


... until next time!

It’s windy and warm. Why put a micro out here when there is plenty places to hide a decent size cache camo. But no find here today. DNF

Found

TFTC. Glad I looked at the hint before we spent too long here!

Took longer to spot than it should've. Old eyes

Mrs JTreeTrack2 and I set off for 5 days after the school term finished in Victoria. We have set our sights on camping in Robe, then tour the area, then back down the coast through Port MacDonnell and then back through Nelson camping at Narrawong. The trusty Camry set up with the tent and beds on the roof. Let us travel see some beautiful sights and get a few caches.
After passing all the lakes on the way in to Robe, it is was good to come in from a different direction and see the Lakes. Now as we headed off down Bog Lane and up the dusty track, thank goodness we won’t get bogged. We didn't get bogged, we found the blacktop again. Signed the cache then decided it was time to get the next one.

Thanks for the cache Nice Nannies.

Well camouflaged. TFTC SL

Good cam TFTC

Quickly located in light rain!! Thanks for the hide!!

Found quickly on a day that hevwalker and I hoped would be kind weather wise. It's been a bit blowy and wet the last few days. I hadn't found this one so hevwalker pulled in for me to get a quick smiley. The cache was found, signed and replaced quickly and we were on the road again to find the next cache. Luckily the road isn't too boggy today, although someone had driven through when the ground was soft leaving tracks behind them.

Having spent the last 4 days caching in a group, today I was back to solo caching from Millicent to Kingston SE, picking an assortment of caches. This was my first for the day, and it turned out to be a quick find.



My thanks to NiceNannies for the cache.

Quick park and grab TFTC

A family holiday to Beachport saw us tripping up north to check out Nora Creina - with a cache or two (or 10) along the way! Ha ha. Easy find here. Thanks for the cache

Time only for 3 bog lane caches.
The first here at the turnoff.
All good with your cache

Another quick find

Found at 14:18 with Olga

TFTC

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC NiceNannies
Find #8569

Find # 6160

Found it. Good one

Well hidden TFTC

We are slowly making our way down from Adelaide to Portland concentrating on Adventure Labs but also picking up anything else that is close by. We spent the night in Meningie and are now heading towards Millicent.

We had just finished in Robe and still had a bit of time before we get to our meeting in Mt Gambier. We looked at the names and figured that it hadn't rained that much so we would give them a go. Once we turned onto the track we had a bit of a smile as we realised our mistake and headed off with confidence.
The first cache for us turned into a DNF but our luck changed from there on in. We located all caches but one was out of our grasp to add our name to the log. A better than 50% success rate so no complaints here as it's no sense getting bogged down just because you can't add your name to all of the logs.

Many thanks NiceNannies for the caches.

Well done Nice Nannies

Didn't get bogged! TFTC

Another find of the day, great hiding spot:) found thanks to geokid Clancy.

Heading to Robe for the afternoon with my Mum. A quick stop & find.
Thanks for placing the cache NiceNannies

It was time to get on the move again with ilook4geo and head to the next destination. We picked out some of the caches to pick up along the way where we could take the caravan safely. This was a nice easy find and after both names were noted on the log all was put back as it had been found. Thanks for this cache placement go to NiceNannies.

On the road again with goingplaces2 and visiting various places of interest. A quick find was made of this cache, the log was signed and all was replaced. Job done! Thanks for bringing us here.

The great Geoventure 2020 tour....take 2...which is of course now in 2021 Once again it myself and AnyMules doing things that not many sane people would attempt. [:o)]

Day 11: The weather today was fantastic, so we headed north all the way to Kingston SE in search of unfound boxes. Some rather fantastic locations and caches found today
* If anything was particularly interesting then there will be a comment

Here.. We mistakenly saw this series and thought it might be a test of the 4WD. Wrong. Easy find.

otherwise we found all the caches we looked for and they were in good condition.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. 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. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks NiceNannies for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A nice quick park and grab to start the day.

Thanks for the cache NiceNannies.

After spending the weekend in Millicent for the GV2020 Mega, it is time to head home but still some time to grab some caches. TFTC

Heading home from the Mega, we stopped at a few more cache along the way...
We didn't get bogged...
TNLNSL
Thanks

It was raining and we prayed the rain would not get any heavier, and it didn't.

Found on a visit to the south-east to attend the Mega event at Millicent. I teamed up with a few others over the LWE to complete some of the trails and other caches in the area. Thanks to Don who came along for the ride on all but one of the days! Lots of laughs and fun and good food and the rest!!

Thanks to NiceNannies and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Found It!
The last cache of this series for me today. I didn't get bogged!

Mogni didn't want to drive her car down her but was happy to do this series in my 4x4. On driving down this road she realized that the series was named after the road name, not the state of the road. the road condition was alot better than many of the roads/tracks/lanes driven down over the mega event weekend. Some of this sries where quick finds, others where a pain in the back side to find.

On route to the 2021 Mega at Millicent with Mogni. A run of bad weather before the mega meant a last minute change of vechicles for us. Instead of Mogni's car we took the 4x4 down to the mega. This also meant a change in the target caches on route. Now we detoured off roads to get those caches that where on sandy tracks, high clearance or in locations mogni would prefer her car not to go, less finds and highway drive bys was the result. We got down to where we staying the night with out getting rained on to badly.

After a will-it-be-on, will-I-go back and forth, Owl was finally on her way to the GeoVenture in Millicent. With JJ52 in the car it was a slow drive down, partly due to unfound caches on the way but mostly due to some very heavy and hairy traffic. That disappeared after Robe but the unfounds increased so it was somewhat slower going. Fortunately the duo did just what the cache name suggested and just found it.

SA Mega weekend with sir_spectre, a huge weekend of catchups and hunting geocaches. At different times over the 5 day weekend we joined up with other teams caching as either the misfits or mystery randoms depending on the numbers of people and who organised.
Unfortunately the weather was very typical of the south east and put many teams off exporing the forests and some great creative caches were only found by a few teams.
For me this was a little bit different than for others as I lived in the south east for 15 years and worked in Penola, Millicent and Mount Gambier. Strangely this also meant I kept running into people I knew each day.
Lots of wildlife seen, wombats, echidnas, snakes, kangaroos and wallabies. Luckily the snakes in particular kept leaving the paths as we were walking.
Thanks to the Mega committee for all of their hardwork organising and the many locals who have placed and maintained caches (this includes me )
Thanks to NiceNannies from mogni

Heading to the Mega in Millicent with Doctor Owl and this was one we stopped at on our way past. [^]

We stopped at this one but didn't have time for a drive down Bog Lane and certainly didn't want to get bogged on the first day of our trip.

Thanks for the cache NiceNannies.

Day One of my first mega experience. Today I make the drive from Gumeracha to Millicent picking up a few valuable caches along the way. The weather is grey and drizzly but not too cold, and at least I’m not out in the storm that blitzed through yesterday.

I recently did get bogged at Grace Plains, and it wasn’t much fun. Caches along this road also help my 360° from home challenge, but I’m just doing this one for now. Took a while to find, and while I was looking, a number of vehicles turned up Bog Rd, so I’m sure it’s quite safe for 2WDs even after rain like today.

TFTC NiceNannies

Down in Robe for the weekend to catch up with the husband. Dragged him out for a day of caching around the area. Also picked up some of the new crayfish series which was fun.
All up we found around 40 caches and we had a great day out our rainy picnic at Beachport was a highlight washed down with a cuppa from the flask.

Love this camo

Found this one just as the rain started so had to retreat to the car with the log, just got in car and a down-pore started followed by lighting that must have hit the high ground about 200 metres away. Just had to wait it out before returning the log, bit of a damp silver for us.

FTF @ 8.42am quick find on this sneaky hide, we have friends just down the road from here but it maybe a little early to call in TFTC
