Thanks matmob for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10762 on 2/11/2024 at 4:50PMA plan was hatched to ride along the Riesling Trail and collect a few caches. A delightful day in the company of Cheezel and Jolly riding along and signing logs. This is a special place, very enjoyable. We also collected some others that were nearby or along the way.

Spending a few days exploring and caching around the Clare Valley. Visiting some towns that I haven’t been before so lots of unfound geocaches up for grabs.

Day one was Hamley Bridge, Stockport, Tarlee and Riverton. Very warm today so didn’t break any records and needed frequent stops to rehydrate.

After checking in to the Riverton Caravan Park, I set off on my bike to make a start along the Rattler Trail. Only one DNF on the trail today.

After a couple of hours on my bike, the cool water of the Riverton Pool was beckoning me so I called it a day a headed back to Riverton.

Thanks for the cache matmob.

So glad we had electric bikes to do this trail.
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.

Found out with jams group riding electric bikes logged as jams
 
01-Oct-22
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.

Day fourteen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
Our last day on the Rattler series. We drove down to Riverton and unloaded the deadly treadlies and hit the bike trails riding for the last half of the Rattler series. We then traveled to Tanunda collecting a few caches on the way.

No walking to the cache today - deadly treadlies all the way.
A lovely section of the trail.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19229. Day 14 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. A day of moving on - leaving Clare and heading to Tanunda for a few days. First though we wanted to finish off the Rattler Trail so drove to the oval at Riverton and rode as far as #31. It was a bit of a hard slog into a strong head wind on the open sections but a pretty good ride on the way back in quick time.

The sizing over here causes us a bit of angst - Regulars that are 200ml Sistemas or Eclipse tins and smalls that are a good size. It might be time for a good maintenance run along here as some of the tins were wet and losing their lids etc,

The frogs were certainly happy here in full voice. Rob discovered the cache, we added our names and continued on.

Thanks matmob

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. TFTC matmob

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.
Yes that’s a large tree thanks for the nice walk. TFTC
 
24-Apr-22
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. Cool

It was time for a bit of walking so we started off at the other end to find the first 3 then came around to this end for another nice walk. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache matmob. Smile

Left Riverton on foot @ 7.45am this morning chasing the caches, enjoying the company of my friend, with the breeze and sunshine on our faces, chatting all the way, we arrived in Auburn @ 5pm this afternoon with only a couple of DNF's and 60+ finds.

After finding cache Rattler 64 near our camp ground in Auburn, we decided to stay one night longer, and to bike the Rattler trail to Riverton. And so we did the next morning, caching on the way and back, and enjoying a good lunch in Riverton.

All in all it was a good day, some 40 km on the bikes, 5 DNFs, good weather, nice sized boxes and a lot of fun.

Thank you for showing the beautiful surroundings and for preparation this trail. We had a fun day.

I am cycling the Mawson Trail from Blinman and Adelaide which has provided the opportunity to pick up a few geocaches along the way, including quite a few between Clare and Riverton today. This one was a reasonably straightforward find, being in an obvious position within a few metres of the coordinates. Thank you matmob for installing and maintaining this cache.

Today we left Adelaide, not without a visit of Cleland Wildlife Park and a photo with 11 years old Helen, the Koala. After that it was time to head north. In Riverton we found a place to stay for the night. And there was enough time for a nice walk on the Rattles Trail. Here found the one or other cache. Thanks for bringing us here and many greetings from Germany.

On our tour with a campervan through southeast of Australia minebine and me arrived today in Riverton, where we stayed overnight at the Riverton Caravan Park. After arrival there was enough time for a walk and so we walked a part of the Rattles Trails. We searched for caches and found five and than walked back to the campground.

Headed off this morning to walk the Rattler Trail, 19.5km containing 75 caches. Happily we got them all. The day was nice for this trip with an overcast sky and lower temperatures. Most finds were nice and quick, some took a little longer and other's we had to repair with the CO's permission. Our walk took us a little longer than we thought it would, but we took care not to run into any snakes today. Saw a group of kangaroo's, which ran ahead of us for half a dozen caches.

This cache was a nice quick find. We were unable to sort this cache's contents. tftc

Apologies for generic logs. Back to finish walking the Rattler trail, with Darkmoon31, picking up where we left off in May. A very early (6am) departure from home saw us ready to go from No26 at 7am heading out in a very brisk 3 degrees. Making our way down to Riverton we arrived in plenty of time to visit the local Market on today. If you get a chance to do this then try the hot apple juice - Delicious! Could not have asked for a nicer Winters day for caching with spectacular scenery along the way. Thank you for bringing us here. Smile

Decided to hit the rattler trail today on the push bike, so far not to bad only a few that were unsignable, well will keep pushing on.

For the last four years a group of us friends have taken our caravans to a different park not too far from the city.
This year we are in the lovely town of Riverton.
On day three after lunch a muggle friend and I walked the triangle and found and signed a few caches.
This was one of them.
Thanks.

I rode the part of the Mawson Trail from Rhynie to Riverton this morning Smile
Here I entered the Casuarina Wedge ... strange things happen in this triangle [:o]
Bicycles are found abandoned !!
Planes disappear !!
Sheep are attacked by large, red eyed, shaggy monsters that drop down from the trees at night to feed [:o]

Maybe it is just local legend, but I wasn't taking chances and found the cache quickly and got out of there .... fast !! Smile

I would not try this one at night, especially if there is a full moon [:o]
