Found together with ChrisVal7 while out and about from our nearby campsite. TFTC.

Good to have a break, good spot

As we wander through the land, grabbing caches and seeing the sights even occasionally catching up with friends A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered Thanks for placing them *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

We decided to go for a drive for a few days. We enjoyed the scenery, learning about some history and finding cachesTFTC

It seems I will have to find a ladies after all the cuppas I have been having todayTftc

TFTC WHAT thoughtful hide

On the way to Burra with Jolly0 & earthlight. We stopped by here made the find on a glorious sunny day.TFTC TheKellyGang

Were going on a country road trip today LB, earthlight and myself are heading to Burra, the very long way, for an event later on tonight. On our way we have a scattering of caches we are planning to find.After ducking down a dirt road so the ladies could grab another find, we pulled into the parking bay to find another thermos.TFTC TheKellyGang Keep smiling

Found with LB and Jolly0 caching our way to Burra.A beautiful day to be out with friends TFTC

Quick find whilst touring the areaTFTC

A nice day enjoying a leisurely driving north and south of Burra grabbing a few caches as we passed.Lots of work happening on the hills above the lagoon installing new wind towers.Many thanks for the hide TheKellyGang????

HELLO

Found out on a trip around mid North, it's warm out in the sun,tftc.

Found with the Gongbeater TFTC

Buzzzz go busyyy beeeees

This was one near the corner where we made a slight detour off the main highway on the way to Burra. The lagoon was impressive and we knew what we were looking for with the cuppa series. Didn't take long to have this in our hands. TNLN. Cheers.

Second to last cache of the day as we neared Burra. I think we were both a bit sick of stopping and starting and getting in and out of the car by now. It was interesting reading about this area though. A part of SA that I didn't know existed, and wouldn't have visited if not for Geocaching.

A short stop here, cache easily found and is all good

After making my way up to Caroona Creek Comservation Park yesterday and camping the night there my main goal of the day was to make the walk through Tourilie Gorge finding cache with 4.5 years unloved followed by the rest of the day finding caches around the mid north yet to be found before making my way back to Adelaide.

Thanks for the cache

12523 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1215. Now on our way home the long way. There was lots of road crew at the intersection so had to take care not to be seen. Left TB.SL Tnx TheKellyGang

Quick find but naturally concerned about Joe Blake's!

Time for a Thursday Mystery Tour with the Rat so after picking her up from her nest we again headed north. But this time the main target was Burra and the new AdLab there. Of course there were going to be quite a few physical caches as well. Returned via the Worlds End Highway as the caches we both wanted were thicker there. This is one of twenty on the list that were found, no DNFs but did drive past another two while I was playing with the navigator.
First for the day and my geo eyes weren't working as I think I missed it as we were circling the hint but the Rat made the find before we had both done a whole circle.
Thanks TheKellyGang for putting out this cache for us all to find.
Cache #13106 for me.

A Thursday Mystery Tour was planned with Ttrogg.
This was our first stop on our way to Burra.
The beady eyed Rat soon had this one in her paws.
We stamped the logbook and replaced it where we found it. Tftc

Thfc. It was Fine to have a rest from driving

Nalezeno bez proble

Found while out and about. Thank you TheKellyGang for the cache.

Found with Dennisc52 while travelling to town. Tftc

A good place to stop and break up the northward journey.

I found this D1.5/T1.5 Traditional on 14/10/2022 at 16:20. It was find #15671 for me. Thanks TheKellyGang for placing and maintaining this for us to enjoy in the wonderful state of South Australia.

Good quick find. Tftc

The JAMS crew went on an October long weekend adventure back to Clare. We brought Tallbikestan along as we were targetting the bike tracks and he is the best rider amongst us. Allister W and sir_spectre we the other main riders, with JJ52 and I the support crew and walkers. A huge weekend of fun and adventure was had by all, until I made SS sick with my cold....oops.
Thanks to all those who have kept not just the bike tracks but all the other caches alive for us to find.
All caches signed as JAMS.
Thanks to TheKellyGang from mogni

Found out with jams group for the weekend logged as jams

Stopped and a quick find here.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

slowly heading in the direction of home. quick find.
The JAMS team ( JJ52,Allister w, Mogni, and sir_spectre minus mitchell&hound ) but Tallbikestan was with us instead and we where out for there usually monthly caching adventure. This time it was over the october long weekend instead of the usual day trip. The taget this time was Drop into the Light a long ladder cache on the way to clare and then to clear the Rattler trail, Riesling Trail, Ne Trail saturday on the bikes and then sunday do the Mid North Channel Country bike trail. Monday on the return home was to get Peter's view a 2001 cache. Of course there was many, many other's found on route to the various target for the weekend, somewhere around 260 found by the team. It could have been more but we were not going at a flat out pace, just steady and getting a blow out on the bike 1.6 km's from the end of the Mid North Channel Country bike trail didn't help. I didn't see any snakes this trip but allister did, he saw 5. The caches this trip where written in as JAMS, i forgot the stamps. Also 1 cache was placed by the JAMS team this trip. Out of all the bike tracks i preferred the Rattler /Riesling trail. I like riding through the very rich ( after all the recent rains ) fields of yellow flowers.

Stopped here on my way back to our camp site from Burra. Thanks TheKellyGang.

A quick cuppa then back on the road. TFTC

Nice easy find on a very nice day.
TFTC

Found It!
Another cuppa stop and another quick find. No one else stopped here today.
TFTC

Ditto. Just how many thermos flasks can one have?

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

Grabbed this cache after doing the Porter Lagoon one around the corner. Nice to grab 2 smilies here b4 we head back to our accommodation with both M's feeling a bit off today.
TFTC

Continuing my trip north, I found myself having another cuppa...
Quick find...

Thanks

Was originally heading to Burra for a car rally but that has been cancelled due to weather so it is now time for some caching. TFTC

TFTC no really I need to get home. Stop placing caches LOL.

I like this one a lot.

A fun day caching with JJ52 and Michells&hound finding caches in the area. A lot of churches and cemeteries were visited. I ended up with about 50 finds. A very nice thermos. TFTC TheKellyGang

Today was a big day out of caching with part of the JAMS crew today it was JJ52 Allister w and myself.
We met up at 7.15am and headed off on an adventure to the East of Clare. We targeted cemeteries and Used2B churches.
All up we found around 50 caches each as well as a bonus FTF on an amazing cache at Spring Gully.
It was a fabulous day and we all had a great time. It was interesting to visit some smaller off the beaten track historical towns.
Thanks to all the CO for putting out and maintaining hides for us to find.
Another quick find here. TFTC KellyGang

Easy find on our way to Burra while doing a ten month trip around Australia.

TFTC

Thanks for setting up such innovative caches. The use of old thermos flasks makes great containers, also thank you for making up logs plus spares and stencil work.

Cheers Runciple

A caching day had been organised with Michells&hound and allister w to head north and find caches that all three of us hadn't found. It was a great day for caching and we had a lovely day driving on some out of the way tracks and roads, through some of our quaint little towns visiting lots of Used 2B Churches and historical sites. We even made a smallish detour to grab a FTF in Spring Gully Conservation Park.

And another quick cuppa time.

Thanks for the cache TheKellyGang.

TFTC TheKellyGang

Out with geo hubby Animal62 on this Thursday morning gather up a few caches as we travel these many country roads & adding a few more smiley faces to our maps.

TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife LynSteNet

too late in the afternoon to stop for a cuppa today

A quick find while in the area hunting some other caches

the kids were straight into the bush and love the container

After wandering north for a blessed first to find nearby, wandered a little bit further to clean a bit of the map recently populated by an increasingly busy Kelly gang !!!

Resting is a good idea, even if it is on the wrong side of the highway... where there's a cache, rest anyway! [:o)]
A big cuppa cache hidden right in there. Did you know once upon a time Porter Lagoon was used for recreation and even boat races. Hard to believe today.

Many thanks to TheKellyGang for placing and maintaining this cache on our country SA geo game map

Searching , finding and signing cache logs alone or with family and friends (with Jack today) using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck Plenty of that luck stuff actually!!!

Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, angry gnomes, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for any old bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now everything's opening more - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Really good of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Thanks heaps for reading all this addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere, apparently! You win a virtual smile for the effort and getting to the end of the log

Quick easy find tftc
