3rd Strike (Revisited) Salisbury Downs, South Australia, Australia
By Storm Chasers on 28-Dec-08. Waypoint GC1K64Q

I am going to let this one go.

With the caching bug biting, I thought that I would clean up some of the caches I had in the general Salisbury area.
Found the first way point without the needed info to find the next waypoint and seeing as you said I could log this one I will.


Number 3 of 13 for the day

Find 2007
Found with some help from my friends.
A Reel Great cache that needs some maintenance as the container and required information at the listed coordinates needs to be replaced.
A great final location occupying some Cheap Rent.
Thanks to Storm Chasers for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere

Found the first part Need to sort the coords. Wonder how long it will take??

Totally risked a spider bite man. But we got it

TEAM4EYES
Found it woo!

Relatively easy find after working out the nice puzzle SL TFTC

Not Found[Time to Find: 15 min]

Found It!
Did stage 1 almost a year ago now and just never got around to getting to GZ. Today I was going past on my way to the CITO event so I stopped and found the cache!
TFTC

Found this while participating at a nearby event. Had to duck some spiderwebs close to GZ.

Spider alert, massive spiders, make sure your looking out at GZ.
Thanks for the cache.

Was able to sign this book on my first CITO

Thanks to Storm Chasers - no thanks to the epic spider.

Got the final co ords months ago.Finally got around to finishing it of.TFTC

Found it and yes a but worse for wear

Found, is missing the lid!

Today some of the team were out on a bike ride, enjoying the beautiful weather and attempting to find all the remaining caches along this bike track.

Thanks Storm Chasers for the cache.

Gotcha!

Did not understand why I found a container with a log book at WP1. Then I read the cache description again a bit more carefully. (Incidentally, the container at WP1 is looking quite a bit worse for wear. In particular, the lid has gone.)

At the final, I was almost about to give up and strike out. But one more quick look around and... How did I miss that?

Thanks Storm Chasers

ZZzz..

Spy Gecko is a team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. Tftc sl

Out for a day of caching with Spyjordy. Thank you for helping me with the scouts geocaching challenge. Tftc sl.

Found on a mass attack of the Little Para Trail. Found the first part, was given a hint to the final by previous finders, then came home to complete the puzzle. Sometimes you just have to do things a little oddly! Not sure what the purpose of the first log is, but signed it anyway. As previously noted, the first cache is missing a lid, but it probably doesn’t matter if the first log gets destroyed.

found after the little para CITO with a group of people, had a ball, tftc sl

Dr Owl and Sister Raven needed a bit of a helping hint to find this cache as we were on the wrong side of the river, but we managed to find it

Your cache was found as part of Sister Raven’s Australian Scout Geocaching Competition entry.

Found whilst completing a section of the LPT trail. TFTC

A hot day to be out caching, managed to get a few with this being one of them.
Well done thanks to Storm Chasers.

** VERY LATE LOG ** You know how when you clean out your garage or you shift houses you find things you don't realise you were ever missing? It happens to me, except in this case it was a bunch of geocache_visits files on an old hard drive I was cleaning out things I no longer need. I do remember these caching trips and in this case I was caching with Moneydork and Skippy. It was a long day of caching and an attempt to clear out an area where Moneydork and I had never cached. TFTC

Found the WP and the container is missing its lid. May need to replace or place it inside another waterproof container. Will check GZ out in a few weeks, as it is the opposite way to where I'm off to today.

Nice accurate multi tftc

Found with Polky. Tftc

7870 caches found

Out today with Liz and Bruce and Honeysucker, had fun today

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Storm Chasers for the hunt today

Grabbing a few quick caches With Liz And Bruce and Team Robins
did the working out and got a nice spot

This one was found while out doing a clean up of the area. Thanks Storm Chasers.

Whilst doing Cito 3 today we were lucky enough to pick up this one. Thanks Storm Chasers. TFTC

A walk along this lovely area to collect a few caches after the CITO event. This was found as a group effort while doing our duty cleaning up the area. Decided that this was not a piece of rubbish so returned it back to it's hiding place. SL TFTC

Whilst on the nearby CITO managed to sign this log book.
Thanks for the cache Storm Chasers

aussie andy found this cache while we were picking up rubbish on a cito day organised by the mkee clan
pitty we didnt have more time to get to know the other cachers involved

Whilst on Cito #3 a few of us together where able to log this cache. TFTC

Forgot to do this one last time while we were doing the LPT Trail so today as we were only down the road we decided to tick this one off the list..

Thanks for the cache Storm Chasers

We forgot about this cache last time when we had done the LPT trail, so today we were in the area and decided to finish it TFTC

Found first container last week. My alphanumeric intelligence must be working, as once I was home, a new set of coordinates soon appeared! Quite unusual for me Decided to get the bike out for stage 2 on such a beautiful day. Fourth find for the day after a short search amongst the hollows. I wasn’t that game – I had a good look first, before the hand went in. TNLN SL Thanks for the cache.

Having realised that people were doing this multi while walking the LPT trail i thought I would give it a go! Well happy to say it was done quite easily and I did not have to detour too far from my travels. Thanks Storm Chasers for a lovely little multi.

Out and about for my birthday run, so thought I would do a few numbers and as this one has a few numbers in it I thought it most appropiate.Log book is fine but I can see that it would be slippery around here when very wet,tftc

Found this one while following LPT.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Swapped containers, hopefully this one is a little more water tight.

Found while out doing the Creek series around here but oops, forgot to sign the first container.
Almost slipped in at GZ while not grabbing on to the tree fearing spiders. Silly me!
Nice size container!

Started doing locus cache on this one on 3/12/11. Being new to geocaching, only having a mobile phone & not knowing how to enter waypoints I did not finish it.
Having just scored a FTF on the close by LPT16 & now having a GPSr, I have now completed 3rd Strike.
Really loved tne 20 or so gorgeous butterflies at GZ.
Log is damp & inside sistema is also damp, however log able to be signed.
TNLN. TFTC


Found 1/3/12, date changed as was logged on mobile.

The exciting part of not having a geocheck to confirm GZ is that you are never absolutely certain you've got the right coords. So I found myself in a likely spot, looking in all the likely places with my fingers crossed. After a few empty holes finally bingo! Great fun.

Did anybody mention that the log is wet?

Thanks for the caches, Storm Chasers

A very pleasant walk around an area which we walk around often.
Clever hides, and clever use of the first container in the puzzle.
We enjoyed the walk and the challenge of finding this one.
SL (both of them), Took dinosaur, left cricket man.
Log book at GZ still damp, but still ok to write in.
TFTC.

TOOK A BIT TO GET ORIENTATED, BUT 0NCE WE WERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, IT WAS A BREEZE.

Yeah foun this one today.....the Logbook was a bit damp and cache container had water inside. but a bit of a clean and now all good to go.... my first cache on boxingday 2011.....

thanks for the fun

From me to you from SQ72

Yay another multi of the radar. This was a nice stroll. TFTC TNLN SL

Yay another one off our radar. Quite a nice stroll too.

The cache was full of water, but go figure the log book was dry

Cheers and thanks for the cache

This was our first cache. Fantastic family activity, took us a bit to find but in the end we found it. Loads of fun. Still need to do the second half. Thanks.

All a bit wet unable to sign log but a great hide

Took a while to get my head around the puzzle and then felt like an idiot when I worked it out. The cache is still a little bit soggy. This was my first cache! TNLN SL TFTC

Visited during a run out north on the way to a birthday party for a parrot.

Thanks Storm Chasers.

I recalled doing a predecessor with Acts2YouthGroup spme time ago although for some reason TomTom brought me to a different approach spot today. Thanks to Storm Chasers for the cache.

found it bit tricky but all good

now we have the 100 find trackable we are just getting around to logging it through.

Number 7 for the day.

Thanks for the cache.

Found first part quite easy. No GPS so we had to go home and dechipher code which was a little tricky (alphanumeric is the key) we then used Goole Earth and on the way to a NYE party decided to have a little look and Wallah!
Placed Raceklomp and took orange dinosaur. TFTC

A pleasant morning stroll in the park with the geomutt. A bit of a struggle to get the foggy old braincells working to get the coords for GZ but got there in the end.

TFTC

The first part presented no problems but the last did! We wandered around for a few minutes until I found the cache in a tree that A2Y had checked - just not that hole! In the meantime he found at least one Redback spider so that particular hole was left unsearched!

This was cache # 74 of 77 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. this took us a little while to find, I have to say I was a little put off by the red back that I spotted in one of the holes, thankfully Alan found the cache in a spider free spot. My thanks to Storm Chasers for the cache.

After running out of time to go to final GZ yesterday, it was a quick drive today to finish off. TFTC.

I went past this one yesterday but kids playing in the creek quite nearby put me off.
No such problems today and a quick find was made.

TFTC

Started on this one last weekend but entered GZ coordinates incorrectly, the ran out of time. Cleaned it up today toward the end of a day's caching.

Does need a new plastic bag, as there is a small hole letting in the water - although that hole is at the top now. Log book could do with an afternoon drying out.

Finally back in the area, so decided to complete.
Had a bit of a stroll around the area first, discovering I could've parked alot closer, but then I would've missed out on a walk.
Found GZ readily and cache too. Emptied out the water and signed name in slightly damp logbook. Why do sistema's let one down like that[?].
Enjoyed watching the water rushing by on three sides, before replacing cache and finding a slightly better top for it ().
Then headed off to get a third strike at another nearby cache
TNLN, TFTC Storm Chasers

Cheers

With Lava12, We enjoyed work out the multi, finally found the cache phew!!! nice walk around the area. No swap. SL. Thanks Storm Chasers for organising the cache and hunt.

Accmapnied with Everlasting. We enjoyed the multi. Good hide.
Thanks Storm Chasers for the cache.

Found first waypoint, but after doing calcs found I was going in the wrong direction.
I shall return to finish this in the next couple of weeks.
Cheers

Did the first stage yesterday and came back to finish the job. Found it in short order by following the geohighway straight to the cache, so the slight inaccuracy in the coords wasn't an issue. Good puzzle, TFTC.

In unfamiliar territory I was struggling with directions, new suburbs, old suburbs, unfamiliar street names and cul de sacs.... After finding GZ 1 it all started to make sense. No water in the creek and very dry out here.
We found GZ 2 no problems, and agian no water to be seen.
TFTC

Found at 16:25.
Nice multi. My GPS didn't want to play properly, so we searched a couple of wrong trees at both waypoints.

I still don't understand why have a log book and first waypoint
Thanks Storm chasers we drove to the final location as it was very dark

Last find for the night and it was dark as we walked to GZ
We certainly didn't have to worry about muggles.

A quick multi without a twist (except for the final reach). No one around (no chromers either) at the final spot which made the U-turn easy.

Clear skies, TeamAstro.

For some reason I thought this was a 3 stage multi. Imagine my surprise when I got to the final location and found a neat cache. The puzzle had me wondering for at least 30 seconds. Clever cache. Thanks for the fun.

So much easier when you have the correct instructions!

Left the Geo-Bear TB here
Cheers, TFTH.

Found the first WP easy enough and worked out the answer, but the co-ords looked a bit dodgy to me [B)]. We went to have a look anyway.
Parked on the far side of the lake & walked over and the cache was there !
Took lanyard. Left glitter glue. SL.
Thanks Storm Chasers.

Just got home & realised the printout I was working from has different instructions to the current cache page
No wonder I couldn't work it out!

I'll be back!

Since I'd just missed out on the original, I thought I'd better give the replacement cache a go. Found the first container pretty easily, and the trees shielded me from a couple of kids who were tormenting a log downstream a bit. Did the maths in my head (and counting on my fingers ) and found myself at the edge of a body of water. A very nice spot, just not the right one. After some frustrated searching, finally decided to do the cacluations properly and found three digits wrong... D'oh! Sounds like I failed the alphanumeric intelligence test. Easy find with the right coords!

TNLN - Thanks Stormchasers!

Found quickly with gra gra but have yet to work out puzzle for stage 2. 1st finder of new year.

Silver by that much... Were not sure it was right but still FTF was my target. So being 1 hour behind FTF nibs at 1st waypoint decided it did not sound right and unusual but headed off to gawler and relised oops!. decided to then go through the hills to get some more geo's found 9 on way to birdswood to complete the run. Then it clicked what if it was inside-out then re calculated and got a house then recalculated and found what looked like a GZ as described(coords have changed since initial listing and are now correct). Arrived at GZ at 10:30pm on the 29th very dark area and a few spider webs and went to work late after 30 minutes empty handed ( was this close ). Finished work at 7am rushed to GZ to miss out on FTF by 5 minutes. Tempted to have a hit though! thankyou for the adventure we enjoyed it. TNLN TFTC

Started this one yesterday afternoon when I first noticed it come on line. My hopes for an early FTF were thwarted by the evil caching gods . Even after making some assumptions amount the initially-listed formula (corrected now, thanks Storm Chasers [^] ) Embarrassingly, I discovered this morning that I had in fact looked in the spot where I found it today, just not THERE . The actual location ended up being 10m from the calculated GZ, so I’ll e-mail the owner with an update.
Signed the virgin logbook at 0700, and just as I was leaving, a car pulled up fight next to my first GZ. It could only have been another cacher, but I didn’t hang around to chat. Breakfast calls [^].
Cheers Storm Chasers. Good to see you back on the scene .

Ventured out early this morning to beat the muggles, but had to turn back to the car before getting even within 800m of WP1. A man and his two dogs had come across a sick/injured bat and wasn't sure what to do with it. So we offered to take it home and take it to the nearest Fauna Rescue, hope the little fellow pulls through.

Second attempt we made it to WP1, collected the word and signed the log as the third entry. We struggeld with the mnemonics of WP2 coordinates for a little while but it finally clicked.

Headed off on foot to WP2, spent quite some time looking around and trying to avoid the now quite busy area. But had to call it quits.. we shall return.

It seems my GPSr has let me down and had placed GZ about 10-20m from actual GZ making finding the cache quite difficult, and without tearing the area apart, it would have been near impossible. So with the help from Nibs, I was able to get better coordinates for the cache location. The Clue has been modified to reflect these new coordinates.

Found with the updated coordinates, thanks Storm Chasers & Nibs for the updates.

TFTC, enjoyable walk to/from the cache
TNLN

Went for a look. Found the first WP and duly noted my achievement [^], but couldn't find a cache at the end (I never went to Gawler, though )

Changed Coordinates for WP2. Thankyou Nibs for alerting me to the error.
