By cslyoda on 27-Jun-10. Waypoint GC2AWAE

Nice day for a drive with DeltaDucks and stavros08. Been here before with geodad (DeltaDucks) as such we knew where it was. Removed now. TFTC

Found whilst caching with Delta Ducks. Cache was still in position so Delta Ducks removed it. Tftc

[Blue]# 10778 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Another perfect spring day for a drive heading to Whyalla for a few days.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache cslyoda,

cant replace

This was a straight forward find as we come off the Kimba road.
TFTC

Found amongst the rubbish on the ground so popped it where I think it is supposed to be

A quick find of a nifty little container. Didn't know they made zip lock bags that small. Thanks.

two grey nomads from Vic wandering through SA, seeing the sights and collecting caches. another stop to to stretch our legs and log a cache thanks

Quick grab as we headed towards Kimba via the old road!!!

My own "work" day had brought me out here !! [:o]
There was a series of caches that I had told meself to go out and find, before I got the sack
Who am I to argue ?

And at somewhat of a juncture I poked around for a cache.
A 'muggle mobile' was parked down the side road, so I used a bit of stealth in case they were watching me [:o]

With the cache found and rehidden, I drove on past the muggle mobile .... it was empty [:o]
Bah humbug !!

TFTC

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Day 3 for the BAM team at the June Long Weekend Event.

The BAM team (brisal5, Aussie M&M, and mogni) had a big night of celebrations after their shock win. Today was the day of packing up, doing a few remaining caches around town, saying goodbye to friends and doing a bit more caching on the way home.

The BAM team went our separate ways at Cowell. brisal5 and mogni took the ferry to enable mogni to catch a flight, and the two M's did the drive around, caching as they went. What a great weekend.

Another one of the series completed. TFTC cslyoda.

One of many fun caches found over the June Long Weekend.
A great time was had to, from and around Cleve on the Eyre peninsular.
Thanks for your cache [^]
Cheers

Day 5 of our Whyalla trip.
We decided to do the FITG series today and boy is that one long dirt road....We also picked up a lot of the local caches in town and we ended up with 54 finds and no DNFS. Most caches were found quite easy and there were a few that was were quite tricky and one we had to use a ladder. Once again a good variety of cache containers and we also managed to pick up some puzzle caches on our journey today. TFTC cslyoda
I hope the CO doesnt mind but we have replaced the cache so we could log our find. We found the velcro but there is no cache there. We replaced it with a one and a half inch round black magnetic container and placed it next to where the velcro is.

24 Apr 2014
Thanks for the cache.

Day 10 of my trip to the Oz Mega in Murray Bridge with Mistraluna.

Heading west, sort of, again after an eventful 10 days of caching.

Found cache without problems.

Thanks cslyoda for the cache.
(547 of 629 for the trip.)

Day 10 of our Oz Mega 2014 Event trip. We have been clocking up lots of kilometres and lots of caches (not able to log them until I get home, and can see it is going to be a mammoth job when I do get around to it - oh well, the price of having so much fun now!!)

Had a glorious feed of oysters for breakfast along the highway between Port Pirie and Port Augusta - absolutely delicious they were too. Now heading southwards, looking for more caches and maybe another dozen oysters.

Quick find here. Thanks csyloda

A quick easy find whilst on the way to Cowell, to visit our grandkids.Thanks for the hide.

What a day !
Decided to drive to Kimba to do the FITG series, continue onto Iron Knob,
then picked up some of the FTF PT series on the way back to Whyalla.
A good trek in amazing bush land, lots of birds and other wildlife.
We enjoyed a wide variety of cache types and hides, some a little tricky.

Our total for the day was 94, and 1 earthcache - still to be checked.
Thanks for placing all these caches for us & others to find, cslyoda.

Visiting SA on our Around Australia travels and heading for Oz Mega @ Murray Bridge. Stopping overnight in Kimba so made sure we popped out to have a look around town this morning.

Then it was off to tackle the FITG series. What an enjoyable time we had. The weather was a little overcast and the temperature sat around 18degrees.

We enjoyed the tour the series took us on through farmland, and mining areas, railway lines, and magnificent vistas. We saw quite abit of wildlife including a Mob of Kangaroos, some goats and an Emu.

Shame we had to contend with the bush flies at the start of the day and bitey flies by the end of the route. But thats all part of being out and about in OZ and life as a Geocacher

We found this after the FITG caches. We found where it belonged before we found the cache. In the end we had it all sorted but put the cache back where it belongs. The log was wet though.

TFTC cslyoda

As logged previously this cache had come adrift from its correct location but unfortunately as its been on the ground the log is now wet.

We have raised it off the ground closer to where the velcro is. But really needs some owner intervention.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Another opportunity to stop & stretch the legs.
Thanks for the fun cslyoda!

My second for 2014. TFTC cslyoda

[:(!] This our fourth day on the road after leaving Northam and we will be in Adelaide sometime in the afternoon to visit our geoson and family for the Christmas holidays, after spending the night camped at Kimba's local Caravan Park, we were on our way once more to do the power trail to Whyalla and seeing this was on the power trail we fitted this cache in as well, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and we walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Found with auzzie convict on our second trip to whyalla a great place to cache ! Tftc

Found with polkys quest tftc

Today our plan was to drive from Port Lincoln to Whyalla and find some caches along the way! It is funny how long you can make a drive with stops for caches!
Cache was found easily.

Thanks cslyoda for the cache!

Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. Thanks for the cache guys.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

A Great weekend away doing the Googs Track with good friends. Lots of different scenery and a lot of fun
We had a great time seeing some good ranges of different styles of caches now it was time to grab a few caches around the Whyalla area.

Thanks for putting these caches out for us to find cslyoda

We looked at the likely spots where the cache would be but with no luck. Then Peter spotted it on the ground and it appeared to have a small Velcro pad but we could not locate the matching patch. The cache was placed by a pole with a rock over it. TFTC cslyoda

After crossing the Nullarbor we went down the Eyre Peninsula from Ceduna to Coffin Bay on a windy, cool day with a few sharp showers. It was a lot better during a day at Coffin Bay National Park and enjoyed the views there. Next was a visit to Lincoln National Park, including the Stamford Hill loop with the Flinders Memorial and a geocache. Our last day was up the eastern side of the peninsula where we managed to get all our planned geocaches done before the sky's dropped down a mighty drenching during the drive between Whyalla and Port Augusta.

Found as we were heading back to Whyalla to get some food before going for the FITG series

We are on our way to Cowell when we stopped to look for this cache
A nice quick find
Thanks cslyoda

Pleased that hubby was able to grab this one and replace. SL TFTC

6537. [green]A cache on the junction and we grabbed it. Now we're heading Why way again and full caches ahead. [/green]

[blue]Thanks for the cache cslyoda and the treble. [/blue]

Looks like you and moneydork are placing caches for each other, and the occasional ringins like us.

Thanks cslyoda.

Found on the "I'm not Diving with the Great White Sharks trip". A great day weather wise and caching wise driving from Adelaide to Port Lincoln.

Thanks to cslyoda and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found this flat on its back. Gave it some tlc and a cuddle and put it back where it belongs all safe and sound.tftc

Skippy and I were in Whyalla for WW7 (Weekend in Whyalla) that was hosted by the Whyalla 4WD club. During the weekend we were granted access to many private 4WD tracks in the form of tours with the local club members. If I had stayed just in Whyalla proper I would never have known how beautiful the area really is. We got to see so many fantastic views and got to climb to the highest peaks overlooking several of the mining operations. We squeezed in some geocaching when one of our tours ran short and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for the caches, each one was well worth the visit I just have to log them this way or I won't ever get caught up. Cheers!

A nice quick find. TFTC

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Quick find on the way to Port Lincoln. Good way to stretch out. TFTC

Found and logged at 14:48,
21 finds for the day on my trip from Port Loncoln to Whyalla, On my home from Darwin via the west coast
Thanks cslyoda

hmmm for someoone thats lacking in height this was a challenge
i prevailed in the end and was signing the log in no time
thanks cslyoda for the cache
cache in good order

Found this one on the way home from a eyre peninsular holiday. Nice quick find- hard to reach I'm 5' 6'' and had to use a nearby stick to retrieve and relocate, I think I got it to adhere. Only 2 more caches to 600! Tftc

Found on a drive over to Warramboo (Near Lock) for our Nieces 21st Birthday, so why not do a Few Caches on the Way and stretch our legs may take a while. Geodad quick find TFTC

A quick find while driving home from fishing at Murninnie. TFTC.

A nice quick find for a Sunday afternoon drive TFTC

Quick find on our way south. Cheers Gav [11648]

Might have needed help if I had not been with Rediguana TFTC

Logged on the way home from work at Iron Baron. I'm not sure how inconspicuous I am in my work flouros but no passing motorist seemed to wonder what I was up to - not even the coppers who pulled up a wayward driver 200m from GZ.

Cache seems to have a habit (from previous logs) of falling to the ground. I gave it a good talking to and put it back where it belongs.

A quick find TFTH

Found the cache on the ground. Returned it to where it is supposed to hide.

we thought to ourself yep thats where it would be and bam! yep even without the gps we got it, but getting was another thing! Got it in the end. thanx

This type of hide is common.
Thanks cslyoda

Discovered last night that I had missed logging a whole string of caches on a daytrip with Missyhere. Found back in August. TFTC.

Found it

Quick drive by find on my way south. TFTC

found by geo shorty. Akela0:)

akela0:)

Finally found it. Have stopped & looked for this a few times. This time the GPS & my brain decided to play the game

TFTC

Yes found this one - so happy signed the log. Thanks cslyoda.

Found at 11.05am GAFF1. Another one that we could find, although c-pprass would have had a lot of problems in retrieving it.
Thanks cslyoda.

Nice easy drive by
tftc

An easy find once the traffic cleared.
TFTC

Geomum found while geodad turned off gpsr to reset it because it was suggesting we were still 6kms away. Maps are definitely handy.

Found this one straight away, but couldn't reach it. I had to get Jacob350! to get it down for me.
TFTC

found with on-cache-patrol.

Another cache that we are picking up on the opposite way to what it was laid as we are heading away from work not going to it for a few weeks of R & R. This one was a real drive by as when we stopped the GPSr indicated 2 metres and the cache was located in the first place we looked. When replacing the cache we couldn't locate the second part of the attaching mechanism, not sure if the cache has suffered from cache creep or something has just gone missing so we returned it as we found it.
Thanks Cslyoda for the series

TFTC

nice easy find with Clarry and Pothead on our way to Tumby Bay for the One Night Stand concert.

TB "the (too much) duffman" passing through

Found on a drive from Cleve to Whyalla. TFTH

Getting the hang of this series now.
Thanks cslyoda

There must be a lot of stops on the way to work. LOL

TFTC

Rocky Glen Grommets, on their way to Port Lincoln for the EP Motocross series (and a spot of caching) Enjoyed this series - a welcome opportunity to stop, stretch the legs and swap drivers. We come from cornish heritage so it was a little stretch! Thanks for the cache.

This cache was the perfect height.
Good for long days on the road.

TFTC

short stop

was there with The Arkaroo, had have as visitors The Arkaroo and redGECKO*mcKeecc

KoolKath was now driving the Blue Desert Drive II on L plates while The Arkaroo steered Blue Desert Drive I, communicating with the crews on two way radio, channel UHF 12. Here we turn to Kimba - 'what you want in Kimba? Man, there is nothing out there, much too hot', a chinglish comentator answered. Looks like this bloke is on Whyalla radio 24/7. Probably, he sat in air conditioning - as 'too hot' is all relative! Just drink enough water. So we did the cache, the other car passed ahead of us, and then we engaged west onto the dirt road. Nice!

Caching Team:

* The Arkaroo

* Savoy Truffle

* RockSandra

Travel Bugs visiting:

* Blue Desert Drive (TB3ZQ7E)

* Ratisbona Geocoin (TB2DX85)

Found on our way to Pt Lincoln.

thanks

Oops, sorry missed this one, found on the back from Port Lincoln after helping a friend for the weekend.
interesting and challenging little series [:d] Missed this one on the way down [:i]
Two of these slipery little suckers to go.....

TFTC cslyoda
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

Ahhh. An easy find again after failing at #4. Always enjoy these highway breaks, thanks cslyoda.

a quick stop to break up the journey

After having trouble with the GPS at the last cache, what could this one throw at me? Well, that would be 3 council/road works trucks about 10-12 muggles and the half dozen or so passing muggles and then, the bird was a little vertically challenged! TFTC

A nice easy drive by cache.
Thanks.

A quick stop on the way to Cowell. TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 0915. A great idea for a series. Now we're wondering where you work. Our thanks to cslyoda.

Found by Maya and Ray at 2:55PM on the 6th of October as we continue homeward to Melbourne after enjoying the Ceduna Oyster Fest. TFTC. The Nomads

Another nice easy find.
TFTC

Nice hide easily spotted.
TFTH cslyoda

Found heading west as part of the Sunny Side up caper. TFTC

A group of us made our way across to the Googs Track Event ahead of the rest to pick up a few caches on the way.

Quick grab before heading west. TFTC.

The thirty fifth find on our Sunny Side Up caching tour. A few pre event caches to make the long journey to Googs a little more interesting.

Quickly found and we were soon on our way again. Would have thought a magnet would have been far more appropriate here.

TNLNSL

Found on our way to Goog's track with a great group people

Cheers and thanks for the cache

Been past this one three times but it was always right on knock off for the mine so we kept going. This time we had the right time and got it. Thanks

Weve looked at this one and wondered where it was time and again as we wizzed past..at last we had time to get this cache. TFTC

Found today while doing a little cache spree in the Whyalla, Iron Duke, Iron Baron and Iron Knob environs.

TFTH TFTC SLTNLN

Yeah. Another stats find. No problem with the altitude as I thrive on minimal oxygen. Different story for the Wife who spotted it though.
TNLNSL

Quick find. NIce and easy.
