Chose to go for this as our 1400th find on our way out of Port Pirie. Took Theme Park Explorer TB, left Guitar TB. After we drove off, sesblocker announced that he might have left his sunglasses at the cache. So we turned around and made our way back. When we pulled up beside the cache again, a vehicle pulled up and a driver swap took place. They yelled out to us, "Hope you find it!" The sunnies were found and we made off once again. All in all, a great story to tell for our 1400th find. TFTC!
 
07-Jul-14
Found with The Neighbs. Took USA Geocoin and Ladybird Geocoin, left Traveling Compass TB. Also drove off without my sunglasses, before turning around about 200m up the road and collecting them. As The Neighbs mentioned, a passerby wished us good luck in our hunt for the cache which we had, unbeknownst to them, already found. TFTC! Smile

As we are heading to Whyalla to the event "Another Meet n Greet" with Earthlight we grabbed a few caches along the way, as we have been in the area only within the last couple of days and knowing the fly breeding program has been a complete success why prepared ourselves before leaving by buying nets to go over our heads, it had to be one to the best buys we have made, this was a nice quick and easy find, didn't see any TBs but i had plenty visit : ) TFTC Dazzatron

09-Feb-13
Got a free trip to port Pirie (my first trip here) via Skippy and just had to do a cache to mark my visit. Unfortunately, our selection of caches is limited to ones where a really big red truck can park. This cache fit the bill and so into the logbook went our signatures! I felt bad closing the lid on the two TBs but I'm so horrible with them (I hold them way too long) they would be better off waiting for the next cacher to move them. I already have two in my possession that are sitting on my desk at home (doh!). This is how phone caching impacts geocaching- spontaneous caching and poor planning... Oh well! The cache is in good condition all contents are dry and logbook needs lots more signatures. Thanks for putting a TB hotel very near the road! Perhaps I'll be back by someday and be more participative.
