Clampett Sevenhill, South Australia, Australia

This cache has brought many people to a beautiful back road in the Clare Valley. But after many years the container is showing it's age. Team Ransid has made the hard decision not to replace the container but to archive this cache instead. Thanks to all who found this cache. We still love driving down this Clare back road.

After completing our 2nd trip around Australia, we are now going up through the center.
Currently camped at Auburn, and drove to Clare to cache around the area.
A good day out, with a variety of hides.
Container is rusty and out of shape, lid no longer fits, may need replacing.
Many thanks for the hunt today, team ransid.

A lot of water in here! And it's rusty water at that. Dried the best I could. Quiet spot to take your time.
TFTC Cheers

This cache was on a very small backroad, some good views to be seen.
The cache was quickly fund.
Thanks Team ransid

A quick find after attending a cache event in Claire

Found on a pleasant outing with CPwanderer to attend the 'Meet and Greet at Clare'.

Mr M decided to show off his caching ability by making a solo run for this one, only to go to the wrong place. Eventually he sheepishly tried the location suggested by the rest of the team and soon had the prize in hand. Yes, the lid is difficult to get off. TFTC team ransid.

Nice views!!! Thanks Team Ransid for the hide!!

Dropped off the trackable cart man in this cache

Thanks for showing us this great spot. The Big D took snake & spinning top, left tweety bird & marbles.

Random late night geocache! Easy to find in the dark!

Easy hiding place with beautiful views of the vineyards

great views.! easy to find cache bit hard to open but we know its water proof

Continuing to mop up the local caches with the kids on an afternoon off. TFTC.

Found it No. 5837 ... drove right past this one the other day ... TN and left Chinese Coins ... TFTC team ransid

Found whilst "mopping up" after the June Long Weekend event. There are so many caches, we didn't have time to do many regular ones during the weekend, so today was another relaxing day and of course we had to find a few.

This was our RunCount0th cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 14:13.
(So this is our 43510th total find.)

Another nice quick find on our caching day. The farmer was working on the nearby vines, so we had to wait until his back was turned.

Took: Nothing
Left: Micro Container
Thanks team ransid for the hunt today.

found after doing the June long weekend event
We even kidnapped 2 other cachers
Had a great day out with Bruceand I,Dax

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

Didn't spot Jed Clampett today.
TNLN - Thanks Team Ransid!

Caching comp day with WinterDragon, saw us stop here also.

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.

Geodad was fast to find this cache as he had GPS on phone, geodaughter found it hard to take the lid off as it has a bit of rust around the lid area, Geomum opened it. Giraffe Now live here, Geodaughter took a Bouncy Ball. Nice view of Vineyards.

Lovely drive by thanks

A smooth find on Sunday cache run tftc

Easy find TFTC left measure tape,took purple hand bag, left pencil for logs

Great scenery, looking over the vineyards.
Easy find.

Last one for today - nice easy find. Took the Rugrats and left the exploring lion. TFTC

I just love these country lanes as they wind their way through this beautiful countryside... and after the rain in the last two days, everything looks so fresh and green... and no dusty roads for us. Mind you, the car's got layers of mud. but it's worth it for the beautiful bush smells.

TNLN TFTC

Last find for today, the pm has cooled down beautifully after yesterday and I've been on roads I've never travelled before TFTC TNLNSL

In the district for a couple of days, Rocky Glen Grommets are ticking off some caches - the views were amazing - we also surprised a gorgeous lizard sunning itself (photo to follow) - thanks for sharing this view with us.

Nice early evening drive and relatively easy find in a great hiding spot. The jar only just fits...

A bit of work was going on in the vineyards, but they were behind the olive trees, so the cache was very quickly sussed.
Great views of the vineyards, I can see a photo in it, when the light is right.

Winced as I was retrieving the cache in case of wildlife attack. TNLN. Enjoyed the view.

It was lovely to pull over here amongst the vines for an early evening find.
Had a little trouble removing the lid but all okay after I employed my car keys to the problem.
TFTC

A quick find
TFTC Team Ransid

nice easy find with auzzie convict! tftc

A lovely drive to this cache. It's nice getting out on these backroads in such a pretty area.
Nice easy find.
Cheers & happy caching

The patchwork quilt was looking quite colorful today as we headed towards gz. Once there we were happy to find no workers and the GPSr took us directly to the cache location. We signed the log and headed off to find somewhere to do a U- turn which fortunately wasn't too far
Thanks Team Ransid for the cache

Enjoying a really beautiful day in the Clare Valley. Thanks. Webbys from Scotland.

SL; Took; Pink hair tie & Left; Bouncy ball TFTC

nearly had monday's roast dinner picked out, but which one to choose out of the 15 that were chasing us down the road. great spot....oh the tranquility of the valley. TFTC

if we were more like the "clampetts", we would have "rammed" one of the locals out on the road into the baack of the car and taken it home for roast dinner. But "ewe" know how it is, didn't want to spoil their fun.Felt a bit sheepish when they came to say " how aaaaaare ewe" when we stopped for the cache.
THanx for bringing us here.

a very good hide, pretty view. TFTC

A quick find on a good road, almost got muggled by a spray contractor.tnln,tftc.Found a 2mt star dropper took that instead.

A quick find on a quiet track. Good views overlooking vineyards and a large dam.

We ventured a little further up the road before a u-turn, and returned to this cache for a fairly quick find.

Great views, nice shady location.

Thanks Team Ransid.

Nice place to stop when bushwalking.

Nice drive down the track and had this in hand quickly. TFTC

Nice simple track and a nive view of the vines.

Driving up to this cache, all I could think of was:

"Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. "

Those wacky Clampetts from the Beverly Hillbillies for those younger whippersnappers.

TFTC

Found the cache and a very sick little parrot sitting on the ground below the cache. Put the parrot in a safe place, but doubt he survived the night. TFTC

A quick find once we found the right road.
On a girls weekend in Clare and out and about with Mrs Sullie.
TNLNSL.
Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1225. Love these back roads. Vines are looking pruned and gnarled now. Some huge old ones near here. Our thanks to Team Ransid once more.

I'm sure it is a nice view when it's not misty and raining all day.

Our first find for the day, and at this stage it was rather wet! Still nice views here though.

The road was still good quality so the forester had no problems getting through. Cache was found easily, sitting safe and sound.

TNLNSL

.

Very soggy here. We must have got here just as the rain cloud had left.
TFTC

The rain made this a rather slippery road. A good location for a cache.

TFTC.

Found while doing a lightning tour of the area today.
Thanks for the excuse to get into the back-roads team ransid.
Cheers, TNLNSL.

Coongie 09 Trip.7. It is good to see new caches around here after my visit a few years ago. Still damp and cloudy, so not much to see. Thanks.

Returning from Yorke peninsular via Claire (to avoid the Pt Wakefield bottleneck), we diverted to get this cache, passing some beautiful scenery on the way. This turned out to be our final and 70th cache for the weekend. A nice round number to finish off with. No swaps. Cheers .

We saw some terrific views of the valley from the road on the way here. Cache itself was easy to find. TFTC.

I couldn't see the patchwork at that time of night, but enjoyed the cache anyway. Thanks.

On holidays in Clare with Klems mob. Took torch, left Erasers. T.F.T.C.

Out for a day's caching with Briben. Definitely looks like a patchwork quilt. Left a poodle puppet and a kklem bear and took a parachute man. Thanks Team Ransid.

My geohusband was with me for the day. We enjoyed the beautiful back road. Found it nice and easy. Great views.
ThanksTeam Ransid for the cache.

Little mate quick out of the car and off to find this one and he did. Great spot with views back over the vineyards. Took a yellow ball and a torch. Thanks

Quick easy drive by. Next cacher nearly had a hint where the cache is stashed as i left my sunglasses there, but got them back as we had not gone far.

Still traveling on beautiful country roads today in the Clare Valley. TFTC

Another fantastic back road. TNLN TFTC
