Mysterious Yorke Yorke Valley, South Australia, Australia
By Damn Freddo on 06-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1TE7E

Solved before we came over to Yorke Peninsula. Not our favourite thing to do on a warm day( scrambling around in bushes ) but we got there in the end All good here Damm Freddo thanks for your hide Tftc

Another nice find with woolwood9 today. Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit. SL tm/ww NZFairly soon located, a good spot for a cache further up the road!

Over to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega Event with tmann421.Have done a few km collecting caches and have enjoyed the tour aroundThanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing and maintaining these for us to findSigned log tm/ww NZ

TFTC Freddo your cache Mysterious Yorke that we found today. We are parked up in the local Showgrounds/Caravan Park for a few nights. After setting up and a bite to eat we ventured out to attempt the caches in town and nearby. The Seahorse will wait until tomorrow. A good few hours doing the things we love - exploring and caching.An easy solve on the fly.Find Count: 17821

There was no yellow brick road. But a very long pipe.And no u turn at GZ.Just a zillion point turn.I chose to drive in reverse!TFTC

Out again with the Stooges gang. Hitting some more artwork and other targeted D/T caches.

Drive by this one so just had to stop and find it.

TFTC SL

Here we are, the 3 Stooges (weredunn4, WayneAPN and myself) hit the beautiful Yorkes Peninsula again.

This time we are targeting the Sea Horse series of caches and is often the case with us, no doubt there will be a few other bonus caches along the way.

A typical day out for us now, going hard for caches but truckloads of trash-talk, banter and laughs

All caches located & stamped, and most importantly, maintenance performed where needed.

TFTC

Another 3 Stooges (Cheezel1961, WayneAPN, weredunn4) road trip to Yorkes to target the SeaHorse letterbox series, and a few more along the way, plus bakeries raided, carbs consumed, and the usual plethora of tomfoolery that comes with road trips.
Cache found and log stamped. TFTC!

Thought I was going to walk away with a DNF but perseverance paid off and it’s another yellow smiley face. Thanks

TFTC was a tricky and painful one from the start alot of bushes and twigs but ended up finding it found with GeoBoyfriend pineapplegoldy

On a mission today to reach 500 finds and to get my GeoGirlfriend to 100.

After stumbling over all the shrub and branches I eventually spotted it after a few minutes.

Signed and returned.

Thanks to Damn Freddo for this cache and to all the geocachers who contribute to the game.

Found with Britta1508

Find No.519
26/01/2022

“Damn Freddo” didn’t find it but in our defence CherryRose and I thought we’d err on the side of caution on a 35deg day and not push the envelope with all the grass and undergrowth. We did poke around a bit and trampled down some of the undergrowth but the thought of snakes was just a bit too much. Maybe we can come back in colder weather.

If I’m not mistaken, this cache is my 200th freddo cache.

With mild temperatures this weekend, I decided it would be a good time to visit the Yorke Peninsula before heart of snake season. Thankfully no snakes sighted today.

Found without problems.

Thanks for the cache Damn Freddo.

A quick find out caching with Little Blue Wren while staying in Maitland.TFTC

TFTC. Found while out caching around Maitland with moroldies.

Quick park and grab

Today, the weather was forecast to be dismal with thunderstorms and a rain drenching! Consequently, gridge98 and I retreated to the more dry vicinity of Upper Yorke Peninsula. Other than a few drizzles, we had good weather. We visited Paskeville, Kadina, Moonta, Balgowan, Point Pearce, Maitland, and Arthurton, with highlights of the mining relics, 4WD-ing along the west coast beach, and finally dinner and heading around Maitland. A long day out and about, arriving home just after midnight.

No concerns with the Jeep driving this track today, and the cache was found reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Damn [@Freddo](http://coord.info/PR8C14) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Quick find here cache is all good

Today With the weather more promising on the yorke peninsula than in Adelaide, Davidwazza and I decided to head over and clean out as much as we could as well as doing quite a bit of beach 4wdriving.
In total 87 finds within 1 DNF for the day.
Thanks for the Cache

Solved this last night, knowing we were likely to be in the area today .
It was an interesting drive up the soggy track to GZ .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Damn Freddo.

This was found as we wander this great country
While having a great day out
thank you Freddo for placing the cache

Had to go to Ardrossan for a few things, got a few caches on the way. Day 259(Thursday 14th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Maitland today. A total of 3 for the day and 5478 for the trip. TFTC

Had to go visit the Yorke so made sure to find a couple of caches along the way.
This was one of them
It was a mystery what I was doing on the Yorke.
I puzzled myself.
That's almost as crazy as googling yourself.
Hey Cache! Found ya.
tftc Freddo

After just grabbing 2nd place on a new Used 2B Multi here in Maitland i noticed a puzzle in my path that i can solve, when on a lightning visit
Solved in a jiffy it was and along Clinton Road back towards ADL, i went for my 2nd Puzzle Cache in the Maitland area.

Arrived along the narrow road to GZ to make a quick find and sign at 10:07 on Thu 7 Nov 2019.
All within the cache is in A1 condition [^]

TAURUS APR21-MAY21
Imagine a Michelin starred pastry chef with a cookie cutter, creating almost identical delicious treats. Could human beings be made in a similar fashion? Our uniqueness is recognised and appreciated.We are the result of a creative process that produces a myriad of tweaks, versions and inversions of a common, brilliant theme. Following the new moon in your sign, don't make the mistake of thinking that other people's rules apply to you. Big changes are due between now and the next full moon.
Yay for a puzzle I can solve. First find of a huge caching weekend on YP. TFTC Freddo.

We solved this cache prior to our visit to SA. After a day in Kadina and Moonta, we took this back road as a short cut to Ardrossan and scored a find. Thanks Damm Freddo

On a Sunday let’s go out for a fun day caching with Froghoppin so off we hopped To Find some caches with the Girls as back seat drivers men in front leading the way to the caches. Another rough road here and there wet patch here and there but a cache is what we found hereTFTC

Out for a days caching adventure with the Kelly gang, aim was to go fishin and pick up a few around the edges including this one, gotta love a quick puzzle solve,
TFTC Freddo

Thrilled to finally get a smiley for this one - not the container type i was expecting, given the puzzle's instructions. Tftc Freddo

Simple day today picking up a few around town. Tftc

Owl was in the area for a history weekend and it could have become a song - on the second day of Yorke, geocaching gave to me... 26 lovely finds, 1 DNF, 6 needed multis, 2 unknowns, 1 bull ant bite, numerous scratches and a hole in the owlmobile! Owl has had this solution sitting in her GPS for over 5 years now, so it was nice to finally get it off her books. Of course, Murphy's Law being what it is, it took a long time to find and she nearly gave up, then had one last look and saw the thing staring her in the face!

Have had this solved for a looong time.
A quick find by a scurrying rat. Tftc

Another day on the Yorke with the Rat seeking more smilies in this part of our state. The weather was a tad cool and a sprinkle of H2O failed to dampen our spirits. Another puzzle that the Adders could solve (we like these), after a little search it was espied by the eagle eyed Rat in a spot that we had already searched. Another fun cache by the Great Frog. TFTC

Find # 6108
Day 4
Last full day on the York. With the end in sight of the big trail we pushed on and managed to clear it off the map. This gave us some spare time to cache some more around other towns in this area

Found with sharkiefan

A Big week was planned to travel around South Australia, staying in Minlaton, Tarlee and Adelaide. We cache along a number of Trails, managed to grab a few off the beaten track, some well known caches and the odd one that
came up on the map as we were travelling around.

It ended up being a massive week of 2960 odd kilometers travelled, with day find counts of 25, 256, 361, 318, 66, 205, 104 and 76 (yep thats 1411 for the 8 days)
1062 micro, 238 small, 60 Regular, 45 large, 3 Virtual and 3 Other.


TFTC Damn Freddo

Found with FUF009. Logs were signed SFF9 or F9SF depending on who was the finder. Usually dependent on what side of the road the cache was on.
Today is day 4 of our 8 day caching trip to SA. Today's goal is to finish the Gone Fishn' series and then take a look around some of the towns. This was one of 318 caches found today.
This was a much more enjoyable day as the end of the trail was in sight.
It's a lovely area and we were happy to get to see more of it.
Apologies for the generic log, if there were any issues with the cache, it'll be mentioned at the start of my log.

Another big day out working towards a milestone.We were targetting the big powertrail but wanted to mix it up a bit and find a few others too. I had my closest encounter with a snake, which fortunately saw me as I didn't see it until it was heading underground.
Thanks to Freddo from mogni

Mogni was chasing a milestone, so three of the GOTHs headed down Yorkes to 'Go Fishin'. I solved this one a while back! We picked it up on the way home.

Today we explored Maitland using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

After a three month caching hiatus it was time to get back into the swing of things. We are spending a few weeks in the Copper Triangle and what better place to start making some finds.

A day caching around Maitland had us nabbing another smiley for this one

Many thanks for the hide Freddo[^]

Loved the code as an educator I can read in any direction. TFTC cheers

I solved your simple puzzle a long time ago. It took me a few minutes to find it. My car survived that narrow road.

Thanks Freddo for the cache

Worked out and found by The Boofs TFTC ☺. No tb's as previously noted.

Out with Just Me Now on a rather wet and grey day, but we had fun anyway.
This one had been in my solved puzzle folder for a very long time and this was the first opportunity to go and find the cache, and find it we did.
Thanks for the cache Freddo.

It's surprising how easy it is to read something backwards, or is it just because as a teacher I had to decipher some dreadful handwriting over the years? At least this was even, spaced correctly, spelt correctly, tidy, just back to front! Good one Freddo.

On the way back from the southern Yorke Peninsula to Adelaide, we stopped to look for this cache. It took a few minutes of hunting before this cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Freddo.

Sorry for late logs as one of my friend asked me about this I forget about it.
Found it while we was on way to Melbourne from Perth, stayed at Yorke Peninsula
Thanks Freddo

with rosejj, crank1, whitepaws9, my husband and Teresa too....

Outing for caching with crank1, whitepaws9, Laker63
Found it.
TFTC

On way to Point Turton....
Found it nicely.
Thanks Freddo for the hunting and cache.

Very clever clues in our home town, well done.

An easy find between the rain and in blustery winds!! Great fun!! Thanks Freddo for the hide!!

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring Australia after having attended Oz Mega.

Today we toured from Maitland to Ardrossand and the countryside nearby. Lovely weather with no rain, with temps of approx 14degrees all day.

Loved seeing the towns and the impressive historic signs and walk trails.

blimey a puzzle we could solve last night after a few drinks before heading out today.

TFTC

Out and about with FelixII exploring the Yorke Peninsula.

We left the Maitland Show Grounds where we are staying and headed for the east coast of YP and then turned south to before retuning north towards Maintland again along the highway.

Thanks for your cache Freddo.

A trip around the area again with Team Robins while staying at Maitland for the night.
Not many muggles around on this special day and a quick find on most of them.

Thanks for the cache Freddo

Heading to Marion Bay for a weekend's fishing I thought I'd leeave early a pick up a few caches.

Easy find on a nice quiet road.

3 Frog caches for the trip so far.

TFTC

Easy find once we got the coordinates worked out

Heading to Port Vic for a few days I took the wrong turn but still was able to find and sign this one.
I am afraid that the cache was empty with the exception of a few scraps of paper.
No TB's.

So I was heading to Stansbury for an engagement party for two friends and thought, why not get some caches on the way! Packed with a change of clothes so I'd look at least presentable at the party and the GPS loaded with caches, I set off at 8am.

I think this became my fifth find after 'Tanks for This'. Easy find, all good. TFTC

With the promise of fantastic spring weather and a long weekend allowing for an extended caching trip, locus cache, clare007 and I made our way to the central region of the Yorke Peninsula with the aim of cleaning out as many caches as we could.

A nice easy puzzle, and after stomping around the concrete for a while the cache revealed itself. TFTC Freddo!

What a fantastic couple of days! [^]
Sunday and Monday I enjoyed the company of RideTheGeoWalrus and Clare007 as we cached in an area that I have not cached in before.....therefore I enjoyed what is now a rare concept for me......not having to dodge previously found caches in order to find a cache to locus cache on
We found dust, mud, caches, views, trees and lots of laughs as we drove around and exhausted ourselves doing 115 smileys with 9 DNFs (although we went back later and got finds on several of these DNFs) and one event attended...with only us three there It's always good to CITO!
With CO's permissions, we also did quite a bit of cache maintenance as many logs were full or wet or both and several containers were broken or missing.
If any CO whose cache we visited really wants their old log back, then email me and I will try and work out which old log it is and return it to you.

Wow! A puzzle that even I could solve......that's a rarity!
At this time of year, I am not sure that Mysterious Yorke applies.... I think it is pretty Yorke!

We had two days of some perfect caching weather while driving down central Yorke Peninsula with
Locus cache & RideTheGeoWalrus.
The hardest decision was do we go left or right?
Not a hard decision to mae when there is more than one person cachng.
Interesting stop, thanks Freddo.

Pleased as punch we were to find this one as it made our 600th find. Gee the caching is good here in SA - it was only a few days ago we were celebrating our 500th at Wilpena. Though this was a puzzle D reckons he'd have preferred an Enigma challenge but hey, a puzzle's a puzzle. Don't know what's happened to all those TB's though - I think they've all walked, but a couple dropped in with us for a visit.

South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

Today we were traveling on the Yorke Peninsula, the original destination for this trip. We spent the whole day and went from Kadina to Pt Victoria. We went via as many of the towns as possible along the way. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

Albida

Had fun sorting this one before leaving home.....certainly learnt something, just not sure if I ever use it.

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.

Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.

Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

Found while being chaufered home through the back-streets of Yorke Peninsula by a 16 yo on his L-plates. It took four hours instead of three to get from Wool Bay to the Hills, but four hours driving experience and six caches makes everyone happy. Thanks Freddo!

Found while out caching on the Yorke Peninsula today. Quick find. TFTC

A big Central YP day out with e.gregory1, EsromL and 3 CoC's. This was find #26 of 29

York is indeed quite mysterious as this was our 15 mystery for the day

This was our 8th of 17 finds today - and we found it at around 12:55.
(So this is our 4282nd total find.)

Found really quickly after slippin' an' slidin' around on some of the lesser dirt roads in the rain today.
Really sad to see that all the trackables are gone.

Took: Nothing
Left: Water Pistol
Thanks Freddo for the hunt today.

A slight diversion to pick up this one on my way to a meeting at Maitland today. Thanks Freddo for the cache.

8255 Mysterious Yorke is a mystery no more, an enjoyable fun puzzle and an amazing area to visit.

Many thanks for the cache Freddo
Greetings from New Zealand, Cheers YuGeo4

An enjoyable caching day around mid and west of Peninsula...searched a while before found the fruit container which was replaced by Liz and Bruce however the animals have eaten holes around the container and bit of logbook was eaten by a couple of snails so we replaced it with another cache and new logbook, shame about ammo and all trackables gone missing. Thanks Damn Freddo.

Sorry to say we think the original container has gone missing. We had a good look around and widened our search to no avail. We replaced with a fruit container at gz. Thanks Freddo

Same comment as bek-theraccoon.
Came back again the next day with crank1.
Thanks

We went for a trip to the Yorkes mostly to find this cache, but no success. Alex-thesquirrel and I looked for a good half hour and found a likely spot which matched the coords but no success. The whole roadside has been cut back by council, so we suspect the cache is no longer there.
Please verify whether cache is still in place
Thanks Freddo

YP Family Holiday Day 2 - Three Challenge Me team members and a muggle friend for this trip (CM2 - me; CM3 - niece, CM4 - daughter, M1).
Another one on my "to do" list - we LOVED this cache, great location, nice easy puzzle and fantastic to be able to discover so many TB's. We were all impressed with the cache container too. M1 got her second find, now she's hooked..
Thanks for the hunt.

Found by Mary & David at 0950. Thought this was TB Hotel, then realised ... ! Paddocks of broad beans and peas everywhere. met up with a lot of locals the other night, so now we know all about the local agricultural processes. Our thanks again to Damn Freddo.

It was great to find a big ammo box among other smaller ones. L shrek, took girl. TFTC

Found on an enjoyable sunny winters day with IRAC- and Jeremiah Bullfrog. I was once a teacher and teachers soon discover that they can read most things from what ever angle. Thanks

Solved reasonably quickly - what does that say about me

Like at least one other cacher I couldn't solve this one so drove around looking for likely places. I found one other cache not too far away and then I drove down here and and what do you know! Interesting collection of JPs and UNs. sknahT to odderF for the cache.

Sadly, it is!
I know there is some plain obvious method of solving it but for some reason I just can see it!
It will seam so clear when I see it but I just can't
Its so frustrating!!!!

Is that a serious question? I certainly hope not.

I was rather suprised when I found this one!
Tried to solve the puzzle but couldn't
Noticed that Astro and Postiegirl a uploaded pics of the final location
Drove around and very quickly found where they were taken - suprised me when I found it so quickly
So Thanks to Astro and postiegirl for their great pics!
And thanks the Freddo for placing this cache next to a pipeline - it narrowed down the possibilities
So how do you slove this one?

The puzzle was well within our means and the hide was appreciated as it was an ammo can not a nano. Liked the collection of jeeps going nowhere too.
Why hasn't anyone stuck a nano on the pipe yet?
Thanks to Freddo.

Been sitting on this solution for a while - today was the day we went to see if we had it right.
Interesting collection of TB's here.
Thanks, Robmc.

Walked right past the cache, at least it didn't bite.
Nice display of Travel Bugs.
