Today out and about on 186 of 274 days to get my daily cacher Emerald Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC

Ian Mac we found your To Witta, to Woo Great place to camp. Tftc

Lovely spot to camp Left a path tag TFTC

With the big targets finished, we headed out today to wander around an area that we had been passing through to get to our targets. There was also a trail nearby that we had also solved. Everything looked for was found.Thanks to the CO's for the caches.#9303

After a week of caching around Adelaide incorporating The Great Leap Forward event, HansandLinda, MeandDe and I moved camp to Bowhill to capture some targeted caches. DiMorgan & I tackled this one today. Another great day for caching. TFTC Mac & Missus

Road tripped to Adelaide for theLeap Day Mega, caching all the way and trying to fulfil various challenges.This cache - which challenge/why?camped nearby Teamed up with Darkside Dan, Loci612 and Tiz13 to find as many of the bike series as we could. Early start each day and going like Duracell bunnies all day to achieve our goals. We ended up doing the entire series and other caches as well in just 4 days! We were pretty cactus at the end of each day but felt a great sense of achievement at the end of it to soothe our aching bodies and various injuries.Nearly all caches sought were found. Logs signed AB! or AbG! (Adventure boys and girls) depending on who put ink to paper. This was a quick grab before meeting up with the others at our starting point for today. ***This was our attempt at 400 in a day challenge day which we achieved with a massive effort and only stopping to pee.***TFTC

I was planning on staying the night at this wiki run campground, went for a peaceful walk, said hello to the alpacas, and claimed this golden oldie.

Headed down to the Towitta - Sedan area for a couple days caching. Day 1 doing the NVRATHM series and others in the area. All caches were in good condition unless mention in log. TFTCFound fairly quickly and a nice looking camping area.

Find # 9221On my way to Mildura to meet up with some caching friends to begin our epic On Your Bike series adventure. Picking up some counties, oldies, and other specials along the route to add to my tally and to stretch the legs. This was a quick and easy find and here at To Witta, to Woo with Ronice88 and weirdobiker today. Another golden oldie. Thanks so much for the many caches Mac & Missus and of course for giving me a reason and incentive to get out here, and to experience this part of the world in a different light

Out with Ronice 88 and Contesta picking up some Caches and this one in particular was a lovely old one. Thankyou for maintaining this cache. What a beautiful spot and definitely a favourite

Tweet tweet tweet - hip hip hooray for a golden oldie in this impressive park with these huge ancient gums. On a multi project in the true sense of the word far from home base at higher altitude with a group of likeminded geobuddies! Travelling with contesta and weirdo biker to get a start on the mammoth mission ahead of us and enjoying a perfect day out in a different landscape TFTC and the fun! A fave for longevity

Finally after a long cold winter we got away and discovered this wonderful camping spot (thanks wikicamps).
A lovely flat treed area with two geocaches as a bonus.
Duly found and signed.

TFTC
THANKS for sharing this location with us!

Found the cache, signed & dated the log & returned all back to where it was found.

TFTC nice find out with geo wife LynSteNet

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

Wonderful camping spot. So many beautiful old trees. TFTC

Long weekend in Sedan. Day 4, Towitta and surrounds. Nice to find these oldies!

It’s always good to turn a frown upside down. A precious DNF note found. TFTC

Another cache found on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. Thanks for the cache thanks Ian Mac.

After completing On Your Bike series with Earthlight we had to fill up with diesel . Sedan was an interesting little town with a variety of caches which we found
Tftc

A change of pace today, our team was hugely decreased in numbers with only HansandLinda and ourselves goingand to Nurioopta to visit the lovely Snappy Tomcats followed by lunch and a tour of the wineries to complete an AL. Plus we picked upa few other caches that were needed to help fill DT grids or challenges. SL TFTC

TFTC. Along with miff1 we though today would be a good chance to explore some of the Barrossa. We. Had earmarked a virtual cache at Hamley Bridge as our primary objective. We would stop and find other caches as we came close. We lunched at Nurioopta before completing a tour of their Historic wineries. A great relaxing day,

Another pleasant drive to explore the countryside from our current campsite at the Sedan Recreation Park. Thanks for taking us on a tour of the area.

Thanks for find #2918

Muff1 had snuck across the border to hit some power trails and were staying in Sedan with some interstate crews at present. Having done the On Your Bike Series I knew 9 in particular needed a very long ladder when I did them, so I offered to bring a long ladder up for them. Having done that I wandered off to grab a few caches on the way home via Mannum where a Lab Cache series had sprung up since the last time I was there. As you do.

I was last here in October last year and the cache was nowhere to be seen. Then it was replaced by previous finders in December so I wanted to get back here to correct my DNF. Being only a handful of Kms down the road meant it was time to make the detour and visit here again. [^] Not surprisingly the cache was hidden in the first place I looked. Another DNF off the list. 20 to go.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again I will trying to get the other two this year. [^] Should be easy as I only have to get two multi caches in July from the lockdown and couldn't get out. [:o)] The other was DNF's that came down from over 50 to the low teens before blowing out again but I really want to see only single a single digit this year.

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

What a beautiful tree. TFTC for the cache and bringing me to this park!

Found at 2.00pm, A lovely, quiet spot to have a break. The red gums are magniicent.

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 17. The next phase of my journey is underway. I was with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny to attempt to finish the On You Bike where-i-go caches. We have managed to solve them all before we arrived. Day 7 in the River land. As we had accomplished the On your Bike caches, the others headed back east to stop at Mildura for the paddle steamer caches, but I am based in Adelaide at the moment, so could not go. This was my last day up North, and I spent it around Sedan tackling the caches in that region, before heading back to Adelaide stopping for some Labs along the way.

This trip to Loxton had been a year coming as I had missed out last year due to other commitments. The group had increased and the target list of caches was much higher. It had been a group effort to deal with all the jigsaw puzzles and then the Reverse Where-i-gos were sorted out with the various online tools. The trip was looking at risk as the COVID situation stretched and stretched, but at least SA kept to its plans to open the borders and we all jumped through the hoops required to get across the border. The weather was looking extreme as the journey approached and it did not disappoint. The daytime temps were from 36-42 over the days of this exercise and it made for some hard work and lots of water usage.

Thanks for the cache Mac & Missus

We found this one quite some time ago, and as we were going past we stopped to check. Yes the cache has gone. Since this was an oldy..(bit like us) we replaced with a fresh new container!
All good to go again

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 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. As usual there were a few laughs, a picnic lunch and these are the caches we found [B)]

Sadly my second DNF for the day. The two previous finders with me confirmed that cache was no longer here. You pwned the noob!

**Thanks Mac & Missus for the search anyway. **

Dnf. Lovely tree and a nice spot for one so wondering if its gone? Being a regular, I think I'd see it even though I'm the world's geocacher

No luck for me here today. I didn’t find something that looked like someone else’s business that I was unwilling to explore further which may have put me off.

Found with Team Waldron and White Dog Gang. A top day of geocaching. Thanks for your cache!

Out n about w Team Waldron n Trail 06 today
Found quickly
Cool spot, great cache
TFTC

Nice easy find on a rainy day, cache in great condition. TFTC.

Today I headed up to Sedan and surrounds to get some numbers to help me reach my target of 13000 for the year. I also needed a multi for my calendar and there were plenty to choose from up here.
It was a great day for caching, blue skies and sunshine but not too hot, although I did get a sunburnt arm through the car window.
Lots of great caches and didn’t see any snakes which was great.
All up 48 finds for the day. Thanks to all the CO for their efforts really enjoyed my caching today.
This would be a cool place to camp. Nice to find a golden oldie. TFTC

A great park out here in the rain shadow. Thanks.

End of the 3 day lockdown, in Sedan, out for a few caches this afternoon. TFTC

Found this with CherryRose while out caching for the day. Watch out for the STINGING NETTLES. We wondered why we felt like we’d been bitten. GPS is 8 to 10 metres out.

Found out with Beary Organised & we wondered what was biting us then realised it was stinging nettles. What a way to end a fun day. Cache about 8 metres North of GZ.

Found

TFTC Out with Beaker thought we would grab a few caches on our way back home on this beautiful sunny winters day.

A quick find while spending a couple of nights in the recreation grounds at Sedan.TFTC

Out on a Friday Frolic with a Fish and a Dragon. The emphasis was on fun, rather than big numbers, and that was certainly achieved (even with the curry Owl got for being home late for dinner). This was a day of cleaning up stray caches in out-of-the-way places and this cache certainly fitted the bill. Took a bit, but eventually followed the logs to further north and a find was made.

Another day out with Doctor Owl and sushilord heading north. We started in Williamstown, had lunch in Nuriootpa as well as picking up some new stamps, then ended our day in Towitta. [^] A great day with lots of variety, lots of fun and some great scenery that changed quite markedly the further north and east we travelled.

After finding the nearby multi we set about clearing all the caches around Towitta. This one took a bit of time to find. We couldn't see anything where our GPsr's wanted us, so we widened our search then read some previous logs and then the Owl looked more closely at one area and there was the cache.

Thanks for the cache Ian Mac.

After packing up this morning, we headed off with ilook4geo to add some more caches to the tally for the day. This one was a nice quick and easy find, using the info from a previous log and all was put back into place after the log had been initialed to represent both names.
There are a lot of trees here that have a certain WOW factor. We decided to camp here as it is such a peaceful place. Thank you Ian Mac for bringing us here to share the beauty and grandeur of nature here.

Out on a caching hunt today, along with goingplaces2, and we covered quite a bit of distance as well as finding a good number of caches. All the logs were good and we signed each one. There are a lot of interesting places to visit around here. Beautiful park here with very big
old trees. TFTC.

Found. GPS said I was 12mtr away from cache.

Had to find this one as it is so old, great to see it’s all fixed up for the next finder..

A big day out today with a total of 47 finds, all found all over the place, from Brighton in Adelaide to blanchetown through the Barossa and the back roads. Not the best day to cache with continual rain though.

Thanks for the cache

The cache was definitely not there. We considered that it was worth replacing the container so as not to lose such an old and well visited cache. Co-ords slightly changed to 436 and 976.

Noted this had been found earlier today according to logs but we couldn't find it despite widening the search and ignoring the d/t rating. Hope it hasn't gone missing.

Nice to cross another early cache of the list, quick find for us today, stopped here for a morning tea break while watching muggles campers play a little footy before grabbing the cache

After a short meeting at work, took off with Jack to find some caches.
Probably suffering from recent flooding rains, but cache and log are still here!
TFTC Mac & Missus

A quick find for us today.
The logbook has dried out, and we were able to leave our mark.
But may need some attention in the near future. TFTC

2nd to last for the day out with SA Sewer rats. we had no idea that this park was here. cache log was a little damp and may need replacing soon. Whether it was properly sealed at some stage or not may have been the cause. TFTC

Found with Team Willmott. Soggy mess. Have tried to fix. River flowing well after recent rains.

Found in poor condition, have tried to fix it up. Great spot, creek flowing well!

I found the cache scattered around and in a very bad state. It is all there though, including the log book which is so soaking wet it is all but unusable. I gathered it all back together and put the lid back on it, but this one needs some serious maintenance. Perhaps a new hiding location to prevent it being accidentally found, seeing as there are tons of them in this park.

Thanks Mac & Missus.

The cache was found laying open, and as such the logbook is saturated. The whole cache needs to be cleaned up and a new logbook installed.

What better way to blow out Christmas than to spend a lovely day caching? The plan was to tackle "Fruit Loop" and a few others in that area.
An unplanned detour but don't look for a cylinder!
Cache all good

Easy find love the camping spot

Camping at Towitta Park so had to go look for this one. It's such a lovely park that we have visited each year for the last 3 years. TFTC Mac & Missus

While camping at nearby Towitta Park, we thought we would spend a couple of hours out caching. There were so many to choose from for the afternoon so we thought we would just plan a ring route to collect as many as possible.

Nice easy find and keeping a good eye out for snakes. None today thankfully

collected TB from this location

Day 3 Mount Pleasant. Staying at the caravan Park / Showgrounds
A much better day for the weather so we headed towards Sedan to find a few caches, we enjoyed our tiki tour of the area & learning a little history along the way.
Thanks for placing this cache Mac & Missus

A magical park that I just would not have found without a cache to point the way
Towitta is a place full of history and a bit of scenery to go with it.
I will add this spot to my ever growing list of campsites too

TFTC !!

Quick Find on a Sunday drive on the way home after claiming the Earthcache Souvenir. I Remember coming out a couple of years ago to a Birthday party at the hall. Had no idea what geocaching was then, let alone that there was one close by. TFTC

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Camped currently at Big Bend, with a beautiful day forecast we had dragged out the inflatable 2man boat and pumped her up. With that little adventure under our belt it was off to see what else was out int he big wide world.

Great afternoon caching and we found far more caches than we had anticipated. [^] Only found this cache as we were trying to complete the Towitta tragedy and it brought us right past.

We got back to the caravan after dark.

Thanks for helping us explore the local area.

My best friend (a newly fellow cacher) had her 21st birthday out here, beautiful park tftc

TFTC. Found on a slightly miserable day (drizzling rain) with imnotlostimexploring (my brother). Had a great day caching out near Sedan and Moculta. Thanks for bringing me out here.

Found It!
Great little spot I never knew existed! One day I'll have to come back when it's not raining!
TFTC

Took us a bit but got there in the end beautiful spot.

Out with locus, clare007, 3LG and Earthlight for a day of caching. We attacked the Barossa region knowing that everyone would be able to get their fair share of caches. One of our party left at around four in the afternoon due to pre-existing commitments while the rest of us charged on to just before midnight, at which point we shut down the GPSr and made our way home. A great day with this one easily being my busiest caching day in terms of finds.



This find was number 37 of the full 99 for the day. TFTC Mac & Missus!

Out for a day's caching with RideThe GeoWalrus in my Corolla and picking up Clare007 at Nuriootpa while earthlight and 3LG followed in earthlight's car.
I managed 57 successful locus caches for the day until I had to leave to race home and go to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Festival Theatre while the others crammed into the one car and kept caching.

Another quick find in a less manicured park than is usual in the city!
Lovely spot!

Today we are caching in the Barossa with earthlight, Locus cache, Ridethegeowalrus and Clare007, a great day had by all and quite a few caches found along the way, i managed around 94 and only a few DNFs, a great spot as we stop for a coffee and talk about the red gums. TFTC

Enjoying a sunny day caching with Earthlight, 3LG, Locus Cache & RideTheGeoWalrus.
After completing some series caches, we slowly made away from the Barossa to Sedan.
