Jolly0 and myself are spending the day together on Yorke Peninsula to find some of the seahorse GeoArt series, with GeoCleo along for the journey.

We are making a day of it before attending the Copper Coast Highway CITO, followed by more caches on the way home in Proof Range, Balaklava, Owen and Two Wells.

We had been discussing challenge caches earlier at our very late lunch and this one was needed by Jolly0 to get a step closer to qualifying for one so we added it to the list.

Once at GZ I got on my hands and knees and got searching, the cache was quickly located and signed.

All is well here with this cache.

Thanks Moses on the Move for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3514 on the 27th of August 2023.


CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it!

Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

It’s definitely not getting any warmer tonight. The soursobs look to have a heavy due on them already and I’m breathing steam!
Goldy and I are heading home after a fantastic day finding caches on the Yorkes.

Another cache hunt on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-tour. We have enjoyed our time in SA, but it is time to slowly make our way back West again.
 
03-Sep-22
Found it! Bring your own pen! We were down to one otherwise we would have left one… keeping in the school theme
 
02-Sep-22
The need for a travel break led to a bit of solo caching around Owen. Glad I looked for this one in winter. Tftc.
 
31-Dec-21
Thanks Moses on the move for this cache and the ongoing maintenance. The cache was in good condition, book is great, but was taking full sun and quite exposed. I returned to the car and grabbed a piece of slate collected from O'Halloran Hill and covered it over.

Today I had a number in mind, a required number of caches for 2021 and for many reasons, I was a little behind as December rolled through. Today was the last day to bolster some numbers for 2021 but the weather was not on the same page. So I rose early and hit the trail by 6.30am to avoid some of the heat. With a few of the OTD’s missing from the set, and several others that didn’t want to play ball, I ended up at 2.30pm with 9 more to get. Balaklava was not forthcoming so went south to Owen to complete the haul. A great day out, with the temperature ranging between 40 and 45 degrees from 11am onwards. Thanks to all the CO’s for their placement and ongoing maintenance.

19-Sep-21
Spent quite some time enjoying a country drive with ilook4geo and picking up some of the caches around the district while staying at Owen. There were no problems in locating the hides and we were soon on our way again after doing the signing duties. Thanks for this hide go to Moses on the move.

Planning a drive to Hamley Bridge to surprise an old bud (yes, not that far I know, but add time from Happy Valley!!) .. and I'm sure there will be a few caches on the way!!! Let's add this one... and continue on through to Owen for the night in the pub. tftc

Excellent bit of history for the kidz. Took an eraser girls left a mini tiki, a mini eraser and a marble. TFTC
 
21-May-20
Owl was out on a long-awaited girls' day out with SA Sewer Rats. Random caches were found in random directions (though Owl will try to claim that it was all totally planned that way!) The rain held off, there were no DNFs, the lunch was yummy and the company great. Just what you want in a caching day! This was a quick find while dodging cars of parents who had been collecting children from some other school.
 
18-Mar-20
Some interesting history here, cache was easily found and is in good condition

Today I decided to go for a nice drive along the back country roads just cleaning up the caches along the way, todays travels I needed up from two wells to Owen, balaclava and back via port Wakefield, all in all 48 finds for the morning complete.

Thanks for the cache

This arvo I headed out after work to try and find enough caches to get to 8000.
Mission accomplished.
What a fab afternoon it was, love country caching and today was perfect for it. Not too hot. Enjoyed the scenery and finding lots of regular sized caches. Even better didn’t encounter any snakes or other scary wildlife.
Unfortunately had to stay back at work for an hour so didn’t manage to get to all the caches on my list but that didn’t spoil the afternoon.
Now hoping my Pies can win this last quarter then this will have been a real good day.
Lovely spot imagine if trees could talk. TFTC

It was Anymules Birthday and he wanted to go and find 'his' OTD birthday cache. Cool If you are going to do one OTD you may as well do the series. Razz So I invited myself along for the ride and met up with the birthday boy in Balaklava for a fun day of caching and chocolate cake.[8)] Once that was done it was time to leave Anymules and head home. Off course I made a few more stops. [:o)]
GZ is now a favorite resting spot for kangaroos and I disturbed one as a approached. Surprised The cache was a quick find though. Smile

Thanks for placing this cache Moses on the move

Headed out today to do the Small world series and a few of the surrounding caches, as we get half way through the small world series the skies open up causing mini flash flooding making the roads very slippery and boggy so we head away to firmer grounds and clean up the other caches in the area, another quick and easy find.

A great day to be out an about on dirt roads doing the locus cache thing! [^]
Saw lots of lizards, sheep, cows, goats, horses, a rabbit and lots of birds but luckily no snakes Wink

Another history lesson and yet another school site that once reverberated to the sounds of children and now is eerily quiet.

Found during a massive 24 hour cache-a-thon with Rediguana, ADV, Hello Mrs and Pohutukawa - on the homeward stretch of our Oz MEGA trip.
We did 231 caches in this one day - a new personal best and an Australian record (until growingupisoptional put it in its place just one week later).

Sorry for the generic logs.
We had an awesome time with the TdF, APM and much of the NXY serries' of caches, as well as many others in between. Unfortunately they were all a blur in long, long, day.

A quick find on a bit of an adventure day for the Grumpy drag along (geohubby) to help Burton's reach 2000 by new years. Had a real found by farmers day as everywhere I went a farmer seemed to be pulling up beside me to ask what I was doing. A short explanation was all they required before going on their way!!
