Adelaide to Port Lincoln Road Trip!
Day Three: Whyalla to Port Lincoln.
Weather: rain in Whyalla!!!

One of three caches found in Port Lincoln after sorting out accommodation for the night and checking in.

Another cache where I felt a bit uncomfortable going in with a torch. It wasn’t clear if there was anyone inside or not. In any case, a quick in and out without anyone seeing me as far as I am aware.

Thanks again wheres_wolly_sharon.

It’s officially a Mega!

2ed geocache iv found

Easy find after reading hint tftc

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

After having a successful day yesterday, we awoke with motivation and optimism for the day that was ahead of us. However after having our first geocache find, a rock had hit the vehicle's oil sump, leaving the car inoperable and requiring the car to be towed to a mechanic in Port Lincoln. The morning was then spent addressing the vehicle's repair plan, and then trying to salvage the remainder of our weekend's plans. We walked around the centre of Port Lincoln, before finding a hire vehicle for us, and then the afternoon was spent driving around the area. It was interesting seeing Port Lincoln's marinas and also caught glimpse of the shark cages. We ended up drowning our sorrows in the evening (whilst celebrating gridge98's birthday) at the craft brewery, which was probably a highlight of the day.

We were initially looking on the wrong side of the driveway, and even putting our hands on the other side of the fence wondering how it was replaced. [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) checked the other side, and sure enough, made the quick find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks wheres wolly for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

We were not sure which side of the fence this was on but we picked the right one, we searched for a while but came way with the good in the end

Well what a day it was, a day filled with more downs than ups and but overall a few caches were found in and around port Lincoln. Davidwazza and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula for a weekend away to clean up as much as we could and collect a few new LGAs for Davidwazza. This morning 2nd cache in we ended up cracking the oil sump in the car and having to sort out what to do and how to fix the issue. Lucky a mechanic was at hand and a prolonged trip was soon scheduled and a hire car was in hand. I guess things happen when you use a car for things that it’s not made to do.
Other than that a great day out.

Thanks for the cache

Thank you for placing this here. We were sprung by a member of the church who was waiting for a window repairer. TFTC

Found on a morning walk but didn’t have a pencil on us

Had a good look.but no luck

Found during a walk through town. We found some caches, could not find a few others, but all in all we had a nice afternoon.

A trip to Port Lincoln to visit relatives and to pay tribute to a lost family member. The Adder managed to talk the rest of the family of complete
un interested muggles to allow him to seek a few caches whilst staying with them for a week.

It seemed pretty obvious that this one had gone and with the owner not on the site since 2018 we presume that they no longer look after their hides or play the game.

To keep the cache series going we have replaced the cache on the obvious structure with the usual micro container.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Nothing found at the obvious "life's essential" spot. Not sure if still there as last record was 11 months ago.

CPwanderer, GoodLook and I headed off for a weekend in Port Lincoln via an overnight stop in Whyalla
Our weekend was unexpectedly extended by a day due to illness and so my tally at the end of the 'weekend' was 168 cache finds
Sadly this was marred by a massive 28 DNFs
Port Lincoln, despite being virgin caching territory for all 3 of us, did not provide us with the pleasure that we had anticipated
So many of the caches were bison tubes and those that we did find, quite often were in places where a larger cache could have been hidden The other issue was the lack of maintenance on many caches
There are people trying their best to maintain the 'wheres wolly' cache hides however their resources are stretched thinly..... so if you are heading over, please pack heaps of cache maintenance containers, bags and log books and help out where you can. [^]
That being said, the trip was still a blast and some great caches were found and great views were seen!
Roaming Wendy very kindly came out with us for the rest of today and as a result, our find count increased as did the laughter in the car
Thank you for your company [^]

Another little church that we'd not have seen if not for the geocache

An easy find on a Sunday afternoon!!
This was one of the caches found on a three day odyssey on the Eyre Peninsula! Myself, GoodLook and locuscache had never cached south of the Cowell/Cleve area so we had high hopes of some great caching. We worked our way down through Port Neil and Tumby Bay and grabbed those along the highway plus a few a little further afield.
Our time in and around Port Lincoln was frustrating. Lots very small micros, lots of very rusty tins and more dnfs than ive ever had in a day before this. We were very fortunate that local cacher , Roaming Wendy joined as. Her expert knowledge of the town certainly helped. A medical issue had us stay a third day. This worked out very well as we could do some relaxed caching on our way home.
A special thanks to Roaming wendy for her help and to those who hid caches in the area … particularly the Geo-Ambos, Wheres Wolly and Viper231. Special thanks also to my “mildly obsessive” caching buddies on this trip …………………………… amazing fun!!

Woo hoo, we found it!

After messaging Roaming Wendy, she graciously joined us and jumped in our car in order to cache around Lincoln with us (as we'd not been having much fun with all of the DNFs).

Found whilst on a road trip with CPwanderer and Locus Cache, with the aim of the weekend to cache in and around Port Lincoln - fresh territory for us all. We certainly had a great time, however with a DNF rate of about 40% [:(!], it was tough going! We did however thoroughly enjoy the beautiful locations and scenery.

After joking all day on the Sunday we should spend another night in Pt Lincoln, circumstances presented that meant we needed to extend our time away! We took it slowly on the way home which enabled us to once again visit some terrific places

Thanks for the cache

Pulled into the car park to look for this one only to meet the owner for the second time in two days. More chatting before we both moved along, and the cache was quickly found.

We took the time out to meet the whole gang at this cache. Not sure where Astro went?

Found by Mary & David at 1015. The salvos have a wonderful record of being there in times of natural disaster and trouble. Our thanks as usual to wheres wolly.

I had a horrible feeling doing this one as we considered that it was on private property, and that it comes under the following -
Caches that Solicit
Solicitations are off-limits. For example, caches perceived to be posted for religious, political, charitable or social agendas are not permitted. Geocaching is supposed to be a light, fun activity, not a platform for an agenda
