Today a small group - RoddyC, Hatzoff, Snickersalken, GrannySmith1947, HansandLinda started our journey of finding caches along the On Your Bike series.
There was loads of running, laughing, dust, flys etc. Brisa5 kindly came out to help us with his7 meter ladder to do the T5's. Unfortunatley someone has been through and lowered the caches and we really could have done these caches without the ladder. A phone call to the owner and up they went to their correct position.
We found all the caches we targeted in this series plus a few odds ones near by.

Today is the second day of our roadtrip from the Southern Highlands of NSW to Gawler in SA and back, to represent NSW at the Inline Hockey National Championships. Last year on the same trip I had GeoDaughter in tow - this time GeoSon was along for the ride. Today we drove from Mildura to Tanunda via some high-FP caches and some Earthcaches, as well as other ones that caught our eyes. This was a nice quick find after visiting the Earthcache nearby. No snakes today but I nearly stood on the biggest shingleback I've ever seen! TFTC.
 
13-Jul-19
Found today on a day trip out from our house sit in Murray Bridge.

While I did the nearby Earthcache, Mrs Juc found this. Apparently the container is cracked and broken, but log is ok in a Ziploc bag.

Thanks for the cache

Great location that I have been to before, and even GZ seemed familiar, but I hadn't logged it, so my name went in the log again. !

What a fabulous day out...so fabulous that we stamped 98% of the logs as "Fabulous Randoms" (the others we wrote our names).

We completed 3 OTD series, picked up the tribute series to the US iconic trails (ET Highway & Route 66) and stopped to find a number of other random caches including ones with high fav points or interesting D/Ts. Over 160 finds - it was worth the 5am start (to try and beat the heat).

Thanks so much for the cache froghoppin! [^]

A decision about a day of caching with Goodlook was orgained in the not so distant past to clean up some caches around swan reach and murray bridge.

A successful with no DNF’s and 165 caches finds, completing 3 on this date (OTD) series and some of the fruit loop with a few trads along the way.

Majority if the log books were stamped with FABULOUS RAMDOMS and 5 or 6 we wrote our individual caching names in.

After grabbing the clues for the nearby earthcache, I took a short stroll down to this cache. Finding the container was easy as it was sitting out in the open. There was a crushed beer can inside the cache, so I had to wonder if it had been found by non-geocaching types. I sat the container a bit further under the nearby bush so it wasn't quite so obvious.

Thanks Froghoppin and Drift Kid.

TFTC,

Heading along the Murray and collecting caches as we go.

Having completed our time at ACT, Snowy's, Dandenong, National Riley Rally on Philip Island, a quick stop near Geelong, some of the Grampians and the area around Robe it's time to head towards the Murray River and share the beginning of a 50th celebration with a friend.

After that it will be the Red Center Experience GC6825Z before returning home with skibum1 from America via Broken Hill, Lightning Ridge, Killcoy and Armidale.

Visited a group of trackables that will be left at the Alice Springs Event .

Having finished the Fruit loop series we picked up a few more caches before visiting a friend nearby and then heading home. A severe case of deja vu here. We actually found this cache on 21st February 2010 according to the log book and we obviously didn't log the find. Oh well, logged today.

An interesting site which we have visited a few times for geocaching. Thanks Froghoppin

Team Crackers and I met up with The Drovers and Konie in Bordertown yesterday as we all head to the YP as one over the next few days. Today we cached around the Mannum area with quite a few trads, puzzles, multi's and earthcaches found and logged, around 170 all up for the day. An assault on a number of series was the main focus on the day. The log books now carry the acronym CDKM or a derivative of that, depending on whether a team member had found the cache on a previous occasion.

Thanks froghoppin for placing this cache.
 
26-Feb-16
Out and about caching with Team Crackers, The Drovers and Micaparamedic while in the Mannum area and we headed off to cache the surrounding areas and do some power trails. We found a variety of different caches and this was one of them.

We signed the log as CDKM and all were returned as found.
