Gone with the Wind "Mill" Cleve, South Australia, Australia
By valiantscot on 23-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19M3C

Good find

What a delightful adventure! Today, I set out to find the "Gone with the Wind" cache, and it did not disappoint. The clues were cleverly crafted, leading me through a beautiful area filled with lush trees and a gentle breeze that felt like a nod to the cache's name.As I navigated the trails, I couldn't help but think of Scarlett O'Hara and her tenacitymuch like the determination I needed to find this hidden gem! The final coordinates took me to a scenic overlook where I had to do a little creative searching. After a few minutes of scanning the surroundings, I spotted it tucked away just out of sight, blending perfectly with its environment.Signing the log was a highlight, and I left a small trinket that I hope adds to the joy for the next adventurer. Thank you for this fun cache! It was a great reminder that, like in the classic tale, every journey has its challenges and rewards.P.S. Ill be dreaming of my next geocaching escapade while humming As Time Goes By. Cant wait for my next find!Happy caching, everyone! ????Come visit SA's longest running annual event -keep the Long weekend free- June 2025 Can't wait!!2627

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 10 - Cleve to Port Lincoln via Port Neill and Tumby Bay. My short days continue and I spent a bit of time around Cleve before I got under way. Plenty of roadside caches along the highways. I ventured into Pot Neill, Tumby Bay and Port Louth to check out the villages. As ever I would have loved to have stopped for lunch or dinner in each one, but I stuck to the plan and made it to the caravan park in Port Lincoln. Once I was set up I went and did a few more caches on the edge of town. A couple more Counties today. I'll spend another day here tomorrow before heading North West to th Nullabor over a few days after that.The last two Cleve caches were on the road to the north before going to finish packing up and get on the road to Pt Lincoln.Thanks for the cache valiantscot46600.5 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2016 Surf Coast Event LE A#353**Albida**

Easy find thanks. Left the trinkets for the little kids

Another day on the peninsula of air, dodging water, with the froghoppin twosome and with Purrfect Di and Jack cleaning some of the colourful little blobs from our geomap. Off we went to finish cleaving a cleaver and a few more new caches too!

Not sure about the mill, but found your cache! A nice place to pull over, for a quick break.

And valiantscot we thank you for hiding and maintaining this cache on our ever growing SA geo-map

Driving around wherever we can - searching, spotting strange items and signing cache logs 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 a guyess or plain old dumb luck
Plenty of the luck stuff actually !!!

*All the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course.*

Danger! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, floodwaters, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

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


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

Much appreciate you reading all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

Loving the caches in this area and this simple hide in the most logical area is no different. took advantage of a 3 second delay in the next shower / storm to grab it, signed, replaced and on my way. TYFTC SL TNLN

Another cache found during our 2022 South Australia adventure using Geocaching as our guide.

Most caches were found without issue and where necessary damaged containers and wet logs were replace.

Thanks valiantscot, we had a great time today.

Gathering a few more caches along the road as we started heading toward home today .
A nice spot for a picnic if the weather is good [^].

Thanks again Valianscot.

Out for some more caching fun around Cleve this morning along with ilook4geo. We had a good run and enjoyed the country roads as well as the town hides. This was an easy cache to find and all was done to keep the paperwork in order. Thank you to valiantscot for placing this cache which we were happy to find and be able to claim the smiley.
This cache is sadly neglected as the lid is broken and the log soggy. Such a pity.

Went out hunting for more caching treasure today with goingplaces2 while staying in Cleve. Had a good day and enjoyed most of the finds. Name was added to each log and all was replaced as found. TFTC.

Found in a lovely spot that I didn’t know existed, cache is waterlogged though TFTC

Found it.

Lid is broken and cache is full of water

Away doing a lap of Australia with my family, we started in January and already have been to Tassy, seen the eastern side of SA, up through the Flinders Ranges into middle of Australia and in to the NT to visit Alice, Kings Canyon and Uluru again. Making our way back form through Cooper Pedy where we found some opal now heading down and along the Eyre peninsula. Sorry for the rd Eric log, I seem to get myself behind and muddled if I don’t do it this way.
Thanks for supplying us with a cache to do on the way TFTC

Found while staying near by

Good day for a bike ride out to find this one

Day 307 ( Wednesday 1st) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Cleve today. A total of 42 for the day and 5993 for the trip. TFTC

Such pretty country now that it's green again. TFTC

Would not surprise if it had gone with the wind .It is blowing a gale today .easy find

Reasonably accurate coordinates, a familiar style of hide and an exposed cache led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Before leaving, we added a lot more natural camo to give the cache more protection.

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.
Currently in Cleve, camped out by the weir. Weather today is not very nice, cold and bleak, and it is Sunday, so Cleve is closed! What else is there to do? Go caching again of course.


Great place for a campsite easy place for cache. We cammoed it a bit more in its hidey hole to keep it hidden longer. Thanks valiantscot

Nice campfire and esky stop
Signed and replaced
TFTC

Don’t know about a wind mill because we didn’t spot one but it sure was windy and bitterly cold.

Day 2. heading in the direction of Port Lincoln for some 4 x 4 caches in the national parks and the kayak caches down there. Also targeting letterbox and earth caches on route plus the odd multi. Staying in Cleve for the night. The tent is up and caching around before dinner.

The sun is about to set so might be the last for tonight. Thanks for the cache

Travelling Australia since March 2014 it has been a while since in SA but enjoying this visit greatly.

Currently staying in Cleve today we headed out to explore the local area using Geocaching as a guide.

Wherever we found a full or soggy logsheet we replaced it with a new one.

TFTC valiantscot

Not the place we were expecting to find here, but obviously a picnic spot if you wanted it to be as we spotted a rubbish bin. Think a bit of TLC is needed to make this place more attractive though.
Thanks.

Travelling through the area, we stopped here for this cache. TFTC

Doing a maintenance run, this one now has a new container and swaps.

A nice quick find as we make our way to port Lincoln to do a couple of days caching, we were wondering what all the wood was here. Tftc

Found this with CherryRose on our weekend in Cleve for the South Australian Rural Women's Gathering. TFTC TNLNSL

Bit of a drive around Cleve for some cache with the Geo-Pop.

Hi there valiantscot.

We found your cache **"Gone with the Wind "Mill""** at 12:57:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 13910.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the local area today. We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Todays plan was an attempt to "clean out" Clever before heading back to camp at Cowell.

We ended up finding 20 & DNFing 0 caches today.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

No sign of a windmill which threw us a little, but looks like a nice spot to camp!

Found whilst on a fabulous Easter long weekend caching trip with CPwanderer travelling from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula.

Today has been filled with much of the same as yesterday - fun, laughter and lots of crazy caching adventures [^] ....as well as flies (that were very friendly and seemed to like riding in the air conditioned car with us), HUGE and hungry ants (ouch!), a large nest of spiky caterpillars, cute little kangaroos and even having a close call with a DEATH ADDER SNAKE - keep in mind I was with CP!!

Thanks for the cache valiantscot

Off on a caching adventure with GoodLook on the Easter long weekend!! We had perfect weather and, for the route we were taking, surprisingly little traffic! Our target was the Cleve Cowell area althouth we started way before this. Our biggest challenge was the lack of anything open, apart from roadhouses, on the Friday and Saturday!!
Quickly located!!

Out looking for fuel and decided to do some caches along the way TFTC

Quick easy find. TFTG

Found on a road trip with Steve010 to do the Cleve Cleaver PT. TFTC.

Enjoyable hunting. Nice location. Well done LS

Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass (signed as m & p), at 1400. Stayed at Cowell last night. Today, we made our way across to Cleve to do the local caches, then back to Cowell again. A icturesque area. You can imagine a lovely old home here, built in the earlty days by pioneers. Our thanks to valiantscot.

Found at 2:03 PM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob. We signed the log book as "M&P".
Looks like there was an old bridge here by the amount of large pole timber. This place would make a nice camping ground and there is even a rubbish bin
Thanks valiantscot.

Another great lunchtime cache. TNLN TFTC

Gps led me straight there! Quick find, tin a bit rusted!!

Cache tin is in poor condition. Mr & Mrs Cockroach were not happy about my visit!

Found in the dark. TFTC

Catching up with some late logs.
We caught the ferry over from the Eyre after 6 days caching with Alansee and micaparamedic to try our luck on a few Yorke caches as well as try some of the power trails.
A very grand old man gum stood guard over this cache, if only it could talk. We bet it could tell some stories both good and bad.
The cache was a surprisingly easy find which could very well have been the opposite.
You have to get lucky every now and again.
Our thanks to valiantscott for the cache.

A quiet little spot to stop, just out of towne
Looks like it used to be a picinic area at some stage !!

So I wandered around the piles of bits and pieces for a while, trying to figure out which bits were windmill, or mill, or whatever
A cache popped up in a well hidden spot during my investigations [^]

TFTC .... FORE !!

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

What an awesome weekend! JLWE at Cleve
Dennisc52 was kind enough to allow me to travel with him and throughout the weekend, I found 54 or maybe 55 caches (along with also beta testing in situ a 35 cache meat cleaver) and attended 4 events

Taking non game caches off of our GPSrs yesterday obviously helped our team stayed focussed as none of us knew there was a cache here then...but we did today
A quick find in a nice spot.

Found while attending the Cleve JLWE with Locus Cache. We decided to stay an extra day to cache Cleve properly, and this was on our agenda. Locus had no trouble finding the cache, but wondered where the windmill was! Haha. TFTC.

Found on our weekend away attending the JLWE.

Love the interesting facts and history involved in the caches we find.

Cheers and thanks for the cache

Signed the log for this one on 15th January 2010 with trea73

One of many fun caches found over the June Long Weekend.
A great time was had to, from and around Cleve on the Eyre peninsular.
Thanks for your cache [^]
Cheers

Found this one during the fabulous June Long Weekend Event.

Found while attending the JLW Event SL TFTC

Found this one with shonkylogic as we stopped to hide our first cache for the JLWE. Sadly our temp cache was muggled ... by the local council who decided to empty one of their rubbish bins after 6 months !

In Cleve for the JLWE and of course some socializing and fun. Out with the newly formed team BAM (brisal5, Aussie M & M and mogni).
Thanks for the quick find.
