A short stop in here today the cache was easily found and is all in good order

With the whole day to kill and an early birds event in the city I decided I would head to the southern suburbs after being down the last night I wanted to clean up a few more of the caches in the area and mainly targeting the walking caches. All up 39 finds for the day.

This one took a bit of time to locate [:o] My smartphone's GPS was very erratic given the tree cover [:o]

Put the GPS away and just went with gut instinct and the "Where would i hide it - ness" thinking Big Grin ha ha.
It was CIH in about 2 minutes after that [^]
Loved the 'Pretty Flowers' near GZ.

SL at 10:27 on Sat. 18/4/20.
The cache and contents are good and dry.

I had mountain biked with a few friends around O'Halloran Hill, and I really wanted to grab a cache find there. However, the targeted cache required a solid descent and ride uphill, so I left it for another day. After cleaning up my bike and dropping off a friend, I had a rest and then returned down south for a geocaching session. Driving around and geocaching solo is always an unmotivating prospect, and despite my best-laid plans at geocaching the area, my momentum soon ran out, and after finding a cluster of geocaches around Happy Valley, I called it a day.

I parked in between the two caches at this reserve, and headed to this one second after *Rocky Hill*. Some really nice flowers here. I did spend a good 10 min looking around for this cache container, until I saw a sliver of it that ultimately gave it away. It turned out to not be too far away from where I was initially searching. Good concealing indeed. The geocache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Lava12 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Today we are heading to Victor Harbour to celebrate our milestone birthdays. It was supposed to be an Italian themed getaway but that got cancelled so AirbnB it is and a nice lunch in Mclaren Vale on Sunday.
First we had to drop the hound off at kennels in Clarendon. He has never been to kennels before he didn’t know what had happened when we dropped him off. Hope the poor bugger is OK, bless him.
We had just found this one when the rain came again TFTC

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache container was in good condition but the logbook was a little damp (but still signable). Thanks Lava12 for the cache.

I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. Smile Cheers!

I was out night caching with Moneydork, Locuscache, ridethegeowalrus and semik. We stopped to log this cache. Thanks for the hide.
 
19-Jan-16
Tuesday meant caching night with Moneydork, SEMIK, RideTheGeoWalrus and tonight we were accompanied by K.B. from WA Cool
On a hot and overcast night with odd drops of precipitation from the heavens and more liquid emanating from us as we sweated our way through scrub, we had a ball caching down around Happy Valley way Big Grin
I managed 12 finds Smile and only 1 DNF Sad which is rare for me on a Tuesday night trip as my usual total is about 4 finds Surprised and I finally got home about 1.15am [|)]

We didn't see any pretty flowers tonight, just lots of dry grass and sticks however we did find the cache and I'm sure our smiles were just as pretty as flowers Wink

TNLN. SL. TFTC Lava12 Smile

Out and about on Tuesday night with Moneydork, SEMIK, locus cache and .K.B. for an excursion into the south of Adelaide. We cached long into the night, some of us longer than others, with a return journey just after midnight.

The second cache in this park for us tonight, having walked directly from the first. Luckily none of the neighbours appeared to be active.

This was find number 6 of 13 for the night for me. TFTC Lava12!
