Sir_spectre, allister w, and I went out for another Sunday geocaching adventure. We were on a BFE hunt Smile But as always we managed to find a few others as we were passing nearby. A beautiful day to get out and visit the northern suburbs with some great friends.
Thanks to Bob From Elsewhere from mogni Big Grin
 
19-Jul-20
nice bit of history here
found with Allister w and mogni. Jj52 wasn't with us today as she is on a outback holiday. All logs stamped today with the JAMS stamp. Today's mission was to go north and find as many of the caches JJ52 had already found targeting as many with the " Reel " name it it as possible trads, multi's, puzzles. And clear a dnf for me. I only solved a couple of puzzles with BFE's help today and a few more with help from those cachers that live for the next puzzle published. 40 + finds for the day and 2 dnf's.

 
19-Jul-20
A cache found on a big day with Sir Spectre and mogni. A few DNFs and a few caches needed maintenance but overall a good trip to this area. TFTC BFE

Thanks Bob. Got it easily this time. I made the silliest of errors last time. I spoke with kayche and pulled up a map and go Doh. What a Wally. All good. Nice clean dry book.

We were riding the Convict Run multi-cache this evening, when I noted that I hadn't found this one in the area. So, I ended up jogging up the DIY biking trails around here to this structure. A pretty cool piece of history. After 5 min of looking around, the cache was encountered. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, thanks Bob From Elsewhere. Some nice views of Yatala Prison from this vantage point also.

Scenic view of Yatala!

Had organised to meet Michells&hound for an afternoon collecting BFE caches in the Badlands. [^]

A nice quick find of a well hidden cache next to a very cool piece of history on this awesome History - Laden walking trail (or ride, like I have chosen to do today). I never knew this track and all the Jail / Convict related stuff was even here and wow! am I loving it! It appears others are too... many a walker and jogger about today, can hardly blame them on this sensational warm Spring day at the moment [^] This Trad was found during doing a Multi called "Convict Run" by Nibs (GCKMQA). The log of this Trad was very moist so I dried it out as best I could in the lovely sun [^] then SL at 09:20 on Sun 17 Sept 2017. (Thanks for the break between waypoints with this Trad, Bob in a most cool spot). Good view of Yatala from here, pics were taken inc. a Selfie lol [:o)] TFTC BFE Smile

I had mentioned that I was in the process of trying to solve all the Reel caches and wanted to have another BFE hunting day to get a little closer to Reel Nirvana. Cool Muff1 wanted to do the same and so they drove all the way over from Victoria to have said BFE hunting day. Surprised
But first we had to get from my house to BobLand and that could only mean getting finding seven other caches along the way. Wink
Another Reel cache that is not a puzzle. [^] We didn't see any convicts running today but we did see a centipede that just wasn't fast enough to outrun a magpie.
The hints made it a reel quick find too! Smile
Thanks Bob From elsewhere for yet another cache and a step closer to Reel Nirvana. Big Grin

Today we are on an adventure trip with brisal5, this is an area that we have not spent a lot of time in this area before. We enjoyed the history re this structure. brisal5's strong hands retrieved this cache. SL TFTC

I didn't see any convicts today (if you don't count me). I'm 'reel' glad these little nuggets of history are preserved. Left a PT as a thank you to the CO or next finder. TFTC BFE

Out for a Mother's day walk to Stockade Botanic Gardens, found the gate down to the Linear Park and went searching for this one. Great hint Smile Tftc

A beautiful afternoon to be out and about grabbing a few smilies with Tomboy 711, parislaura and SA Sewer Rats... Cool Plenty of fun, laughs and good times...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned... Cool

Out and about caching, laughing, with Snap Happy and Tomboy711.
Great stealth was exercised here today.
We arrived at GZ to find that there were three young men in the hut.
So Snap Happy kept them occupied while Tomboy711 made the find.
We signed and replaced the cache before the young men noticed what we were up to. TFTC

After an absence from caching throughout most of January, headed out late afternoon with geo-kid #2 to a part of Elsewhere that we started to become familiar with late last year. Today was a mix of BFE puzzle and traditional caches within cooee of each other.

This one, #1 of 6.

Geo-boy went to the top of the structure to soak in the view while I extracted the cache from below.

TFTC BFE.

Started in exactly the right spot, did a lap, inspected the shack, then read the instructions.

Back to where I started and found it where I expected. Run Malco Run!

Thanks. Fine here too.

Something different today going for a cache hunting walk around and behind Yatala, took Chloe the GF's malteser (geodog in training. Things got exciting when some plain clothes cops pulled up behind a head down bum up Mattycat and wanted to know what we were doing, but they seemed happy with the answer. Surprised They didn't want to stay and learn about caching though, as they were looking for some guy on the run - long blond hair and a green top! never saw him Razz
While extracting this one, was made to jump out of skin by a postie on motorbike who came right past, yeah there!!
From a distance thought this was just an amazing dunny with a view. Cool

Nice quick find by an interesting structure. As we were lurking behind and filling in the log a postie suddenly arrived on his bike. Got a bit of a fright to find us there; have no idea what he was doing as he did a quick U turn and left. Thanx

We parked at the Bridgeway Hotel and took a leisurely stroll to the cache on a beautiful albeit overcast afternoon. We haven't ventured this far along Dry Creek before and were rewarded with great views on either side. At GZ, we located the brand new container quickly and took some time to check out the structure. Thanks for bringing us here. TNLNSL TFTC

Replaced the plastic container with an eclipse container.
Hidden on the same "rail" the one with the bush at the base.
Read the hints. Do not search in the stonework or building.

Very interesting place. I remembered as a kid coming here to dump rubbish in the old quarries. Times have changed. The "mint" tin is actually plastic and very brittle. Will need replacing soon. Quick find on the way home from work. TFTC
