MrsBee and GTA5 had been invited on a JAMS day out north. Have you met GTA5? he is very energetic! Of course we could not say no. We headed off in a roundabout way to find lots of caches. We searched high we searched low, some of us, not Mrs Bee got wet! Trees where climbed and many sneaky, cute creative hides found.

Today was another JAMS (JJ52, allister w, mogni, sir_spectre) day along with Mrs travellinbees and GTA5 with a few targeted caches out north and any others that we happened to be driving past. A fun day out in the sunshine driving on some great tracks on a perfect day for caching.A quick find here as we were driving past.Thanks for the cache brisal5. Smile

Quick find.Today was a JAMS ( JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, Mitchell&hound plus Sir_spectre ) day out. Mitchell&hound is off on a 732 day holiday so she didn't join us. We picked up the travellinbees and GTA5 and they followed us in their own car. Today's targets were a 2001 cache and a cache on this date ( the 19th ) of a " not chosen " size 6 out of 31 days to go and also a high terrain cache using a 6.2 meter in a creek with water following in it and a few pirate project caches. I think we replaced 1/4 of the log sheets to day since there were wet or full plus replaced a few broken containers.

How do all these balls end up here?? Oh, there’s a golf course nearby.
Caching with some of the Goonies today it seemed a little odd having caching companions as the last 3 months I’ve been solo on the Apple Isle.
It’s been a great day with a number of new on my map.

The highlight of this cache was watching an echidna successfully cross the road a little to the east of here. He was heading into the vineyard - hope he likes grapes!

The cache was an easy find. Lots of stray balls in the area - I thought there must be a driving range here, although looking on the map now it doesn’t look like it.

Thanks again, Pop, Blake and the clan, and Brisal5 too.

Went out geocaching with Jac-Jam again this morning to find a few more local caches before vistiing the loacal wineries tomorrow. The day wasn't a very nice day to be out for a couple of Banana Benders so we cut the days adventures short.

While camping near Nuriootpa for a couple of days, we decided to do an assortment of caches around the area today with ilook4geo. Some were a bit more difficult to spot than others, but we ended up with a good haul of caches to add to our tally. Each log was initialed and all was put back as found before we moved on. This was one of the caches we found. Thank you to Pop and his Clan for putting this cache into play.

Staying at Kapunda for the weekend. Thought we would drive some country roads even though the weather is HOT. TFTC.
 
23-Feb-18
CP was driving past this one too, and asked the driver to stop so I could look for the cache.
It was quite humid & the cache should of been obvious and not difficult to find especially with a previous cache finder.
But we couldn't locate it, must be well camoed.
Thanks Pop and his Clan

It was such a beautiful sunny winters day that the Shattell family decided to head into the Barossa to do some geocaching.

I had to help the wife and daughter find this one as they were having a bit of trouble. I found pretty quickly in the second spot i looked.

Cheers for the cache and the memories.

Found at 10:36 AM GAFF1.
Not sure why it is "The Wild One" - but we braved the quite cold breeze to get out and find this cache - is that wild and brave enough?
Thanks brisal5.

Easy find with kids. Took tb

A great hide. Judging by the golf balls in the vicinity caches should keep an eye out.

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Camped at Greenock we were planning a leisurely few days before moving on. After the last 2 days and only a handful of smilies we decided to make a more concerted effort to grab some finds today. Wink

It was sooooo cold today the car said it never got above 9degrees! Twisted Can assure you it felt a darn sight colder when we had some hard to find caches and were out in it for more than we anticipated. Red Face

Some lovely views again today and other than 1 cache all with co-ords that were very accurate.

TFTC and helping us keep our streak alive.Big Grin and maybe we will meet you at the event on Sunday.
