Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
With a few DNF I'm disabling until I can get up that way to re- enable it. Sorry for any inconvenience
Hi Glen Grometts. Can you let us all know if this has been muggled. Will be in the area again soon and would like to log this one. We are often passing by. Thanks!
Mmmm? Looked but puddleboy 2 had no shoes! We will have to come back. Noticed last groups didn't find either. Muggled? Maybe.
No joy for us with this one but thanks for showing us the area Rocky Glen Grommets
searched everywhere and did not find.
we reckon we know where it should have been

98th of 100 today, and quite dark now. Found the side road and searched among the rock with torches for a few minutes before I found the nicely fitting rock door. Thanks Rocky Glen Grommets.
Had a bit of trouble finding it but found by youngest lad.
His first find.

Easy find for our youngest. Great day for caching despite some mud from recent rain!
This is our first find - the Smurf is a champion! Left some ear plugs - took the car! TFTC
As I was looking for this one no less than three large trucks went past. I was having touble finding the good hide until I found a little pencil very close by. Thanks to Rocky Glen Grommets for the cache.
almost left this spot in a hurry without finding the cache, one of the locals stripped off and left their apparel behind, scared the life out of me!!!! TFTC tho RGG, another great hide.
while cob09 ran for cover i toughed it out and found the cache, no snake in sight! TFTC
We missed the hidden turn off on the way south so had to backtrack through the southern entrance.
Nice little hidden road in here.
nice easy find.
Thanks to RGG's

Nearly missed the little park between the two roads. Fortunately, there is a cache there.
Good to see you have respected the conservation area.
Thanks, Robmc.

A nice easy find. Found during the walenators caching SMASHEX of Western Victoria and the Yorke Peninsular SA. TFTH...SL....TNLN
It was a hot night so we decided that instead of going to bed we would go caching. We had two friends with us. With our torches on we quickly found the cache. This was the second cache found on our hot night of caching.

An interesting confluence of roads at this point. I loved the cute little hidey hole you have found. Cache # 567.
I think this was the first of quite a few RGG caches today- Good to be doing another yp run tftc

Wow, another one of your caches. You must be very busy laying out caches. This one was 45 for the day.Thanks,
It was starting to get quite warm Maybe we were going round the bend or had rocks in our head but it wasn't even lunch time yet. Thanks
Found this without too much trouble. Plenty of flies and lots of lizards. Thanks for the cache
WOW WOW WOW Rockyglengromets we have found so many of your caches today. I would guess at 60-70% of our 137 for the day.
I'm only going to fill this long up once because I don't think everyone will want to read all this rubbish 60 plus times.
We have really enjoyed all you caches, the coords are accurate, clues are there when needed.
It's just been such a pleasurable day of caching and we got excited every time we knew the next cache was one of yours because we knew it would be good.
Congratulations on such a huge job of populating yorks with so many. You've led us a merry dance around the place.

now we have the 100 find trackable we are just getting around to logging it through.
We are staying in Wallaroo for a couple of days, specificallly for caching and today we are dodging the showers. Certainly adds a couple of numbers to the terrain when you have this much rain. A quiet little spot, sane people are inside in the warmth. TFTC
Found by Mrs 4evermore. A quick early stop on the way for a days work in Kadina.
Finally can cross this cache of the list as have driven past several times but always in too much of a hurry to stop. TNLN Cheers RGG

It was a rather windy day when we found this cache. Left a car and took a cable tie. TFTC
Found by Mary & David at 1350. Such a pretty area with wattle in flower here and there. We can imagine how it would look in wildflower season. Our thanks to Rocky Glen Grommets.
Found on our long weekend sight seeing the northern YP.
Mrs. Power wanted to create her own code (FTFOHO = first to find on her own)
Have been prospecting potential mullett beaches.

Found the cache at night time with group geocacher. SL. I will come back in day time. Thanks Rocky Glen Grommets for organising the cache and hunt.
Found with Zytheran and the mini-Zyths, with the cache in the hands of local landholders who were wondering what on earth was going on just over their fence. Had a chat to them and it took less than five minutes to work out the 2 degrees of separation that SA tends to have
Found along the relatively cache-free road with the Wibbles who yet again proved that strangers are difficult to find in SA.
A cache in a Rocky Glen on a Rocky Bend, what will they think of next?
TNLN -Thanks Rocky Glen Grommets!

Day 3 hiding day of the long weekend caching event. 19th of 28 finds for the day/110 for the weekend. Out for a spot of night caching with Team Hurtle, Team Kaos, Fire Safe, Everlasting, Setsujoku and Dylanja so needless to say a quick find. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Saturday night of the Heart of Yorke event following the Event Dinner was night caching time with Team Hurtle, Team Kaos, Team Ermalesh, Everlasting, Setsujoku and Dylanja in the Moonta area.
A quick find in the dark by torchlight. TFTC.

The Rockies from the Glen should know.
There were rocks.
There was a bend.
Indeed, there was a cache.
The skies were not clear.
A beautiful day. Everything is starting to come on green. Lots of moss on the stones. So it is probable that they do not roll.
Looked at some other possibilities before spotting this sneaky hide.
I think that's the last RGG cache for the weekend. Thanks for the finds .

A small detour off the main road and a quick search had this cache in our hands in short order. No swaps. Cheers
Fortunately it wasn't a rocky road to "Rocky Bend" by "Rocky Glen Grommets" making it an easy drive-by
Thanks guys for a stretch of the legs

Also found that prickly stuff that had me rubbing my ankles for ages

It was a bit dark to appreciate the Flora but we did manage to find it by torchlight, getting to know a little of the way you work RGG.It will be worth a little detour in here in late winter. L an ancient lizard (dinosaur) T Monkey Mia Magnet we have enjoyed before! TFTC RGG
Found as part of Angel_bubi's and myself's "coloring in the yorke cache raid"! TFTC
First stop for a quick RGG raid.
Thought we'd be a bit rusty with 70 days of no geocaching, but didn't take long to find the box.
A nice area, pity some people ignore the signage and dump their refuse in this otherwise neat area.
Thanks RGG's.
