This one took me quite a lot longer to find than it ever should have. After a lot of wandering around looking under rocks I eventually found the one with the cache under it!

A kangaroo hopped past and an emu then watched me sign the log. I wandered off the track for a while then found my way back just before I got to the cache. Thanks Team Jasons.

Headed out for a day in the bush on the Mountain Bikes! A fun day cycling around Mt Crawford and finding a few other caches on the way home with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!
 
14-Mar-20
With [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) available for geocaching once again after past weekends performing work and aerials, it was time for a planned out-of-Adelaide outing. We attended the nearby 5 km parkrun, and later, called past the annual pi approximate event, before heading to Mount Crawford with our mountain bikes. We then proceeded to ride up the Heysen Trail for a small segment (definitely not suitable for bikes as we walked half that), and then around the fire tracks collecting the *K9-GPS* series, *Weird & Cool Facts* series, *Animal Fiction* series, and *Animal Facts* series of geocaches. We then had a pizza dinner at Birdwood with a few final finds around there. A little windy that felt more attuned to a sunny winter day.

This cache was found whilst cycling around in an anti-clockwise direction in Mount Crawford surrounds. The cache container was fine, but logbook is very full, and likely needs a replacement logbook soon enough. Thanks Team Jansons for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

This was the main attack of the day, most of the caches were easily found apart from a few which took some searching. Some of the log books are almost full and will need replacing in the next few months.

Today I headed up north to Nuriootpa for an event put on by snappytomcats, with plans not going to plan in the morning I set off early and decided to do some caching along the way instead of doing it on the way home. But the bike in the car and decided I would go for a ride around mount Crawford then collect a few on the way to Nuriootpa. Overall a total of 42 caches for the day.

Out with micaparamedic and The Drovers for another days caching in the great area we decided to try our luck at this series after we had completed the nearby Animal Facts run. This little walk turned out to be a bit harder than we thought but are happy to say we located all the hides and added our names as CDM to save room in the log books.
Apologies for the generic log but being out with a fun loving group competing for each find we did not take note of each cache.
Many thanks Team Jansons for placing this cache and bringing us to this area.

Out with Team Crackers and the Drovers today, we had a quite day with just three hours caching as a trip to Adelaide Airport was needed to collect another member of our group for the Yorke Peninsula assault. We had a relaxed and enjoyable day with plenty of laughter and frivolity being shared by all.

Thanks Team Jansons for placing this cache.

Today we ventured out with Team Crackers & Micaparamedic,
to do a section of a nearby power trail, and a few others on the way.
With nice weather, and lots of laughs, a fun day was had.
We signed as CDM, to save on time and log space.

Many thanks for placing this cache, Team Jansons, for us and others to find.

Out with Debandy caching the Mt Crawford forest on a bitterly cold day made all the worse by the biting wind chill how ever once we started hiking the hills in search of the many fantastic cache all was good. Many cache were found with many more still to find on another day, one that's a bit warmer I think.

T hanks for the cache!

Worth noting for future geocachers, this cache is NOT just off Jenkins Nature Trail, but part of (I believe, the Heysen trail). Anyway, after an epic, 300m thrash through the bush, we found the cache, indeed, just off the trail Smile TFTC!

So we found the Heysen trail! And we are on top of the hill! It's going to be smooth sailing from here (well "downhill walking" is a better phrase), we are past the halfway mark and heading back to the car, so all good. This was an easy find, unlike a couple of other later K9-GPS ones that we failed to locate... TNLNSL TFTC

Darknstormy and i were heading to Mt Crawford for a nice walk with some good caches and we stopped at a few along the drive to our destination.

The sun was shining and was a bit bitey at times but the wind was cool so it made for a great walking day. Saw lots of Roo's along the way and one bug bunny or perhaps a Hare?

Loved the walk along the Heysen trail too Smile

Thanks for bringing us here and apologies for a generic log

Thanks for the cache Team Jansons Smile

Furrangel and I decided we wanted to go for a hike so we set out a trail it was nice and quite here, no one around just the icy wind.. But the sun game out a bit later to warm us up Very Happy We are slowing ticking of parts of the Heysen Trail on our bucket list.

We saw plenty of wildlife, lots of birds, kangaroo's and a few lizards... Few big hills that tested our endurance near the end of the walk. Other than that it was great to get out of the house and get the legs moving.

Sorry for the Generic log... after doing so many you can't remember all of them Very Happy

Thanks Team Jansons for the cache Very Happy

A lovely 10km walk this morning to pick up some animal facts. Lots of mist, lots of roos, and lots of familiar sights along some trails we haven't walked for awhile. Mrs Frozen Feet did the hike in true frozen feet style wearing only sandals... and jumping in muddy puddles.
Nice spot to sit down and rest weary legs here.
 
26-Jul-14
Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Currently camped at Mt Crawford forest we awoke to being blanketed in fog. Surprised

So after a late start it was decided Mr Felix would complete the walk and pick up the walking half of this newly formed circuit including the k9 caches that we had wanted to tackle back in April, but ran out of time. With Mrs Felix being chauffeur and dropping him at one end and collecting him at the other Razz

A great winter day, with the fog finally clearing into a sunny afternoon a nice forest walk, saw some huge Kangaroos and also some other cachers out on the trail.

An overcast day with the promise of rain and I decided to hike through Mt Crawford. Yay me. It was a constant drizzle for most of the day but I carried on and actually really enjoyed my hike up here. It's been a long time since my last visit so today was a welcome reminder of how beautiful nature up here on the Heysen trail really is. As I trek back to the geo mobile I am wet, muddy and bleeding. What an awesome day! Smile TFTC (Generic log for this part of my journey as there was quite a few caches)

Headed back to Crawford today to get these ones of our to do list, i swear we approached these from the wrong direction making it a 3.5 terrain rating, once we found the first one we stuck to the track and life became a lot easier, as we arrived it looked like it might rain so i packed the ponchos "just incase" which paid of as the rain did come ( more a constant drizzle) and the ponchos saved us from becoming very wet, we nearly managed all of them except one : ( it was a good walk through here and we spotted a few roos along the way. TFTC

It was a fruit salad out on the trail today .
3LG Mick was in orange poncho,Linda and I in yellow poncho's like B1and B2 and friend in Blue like a blueberry.
The rain decided to return and give us a wet walk through the forest.
A great time was had by us all.

What a special way to spend Anzac day then meandering along the Heysen trail. Thanks
 
We have been camping at the nearby Rocky Paddock camping ground and spending our days finding the local geocaches before we set sail again for the SA Mega event. Today we decided to take a morning stroll in the hills with our own geo-K9 in tow. We really enjoyed finding this series of geocaches.

Thanks Team Jansons

Father's Day. Mr M had a huge breakfast of bacon, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, egg and french toast.... all cooked to perfection by his wonderful children. What was definitely needed was some exercise to try and counter those calories. So a hike to get some nearby caches seemed like a good idea.

The Aussies had previously walked along this trail but had to abort due to fading light before they could finish the last two caches. It was good to do this one today with the two boys. TFTC Jansons.

Was performing circles as my GPS unit couldn't decide where to stop moving. Finally found it quite close to where I started. As I started moving off, I realised I'd dropped my glasses, so I had to circle around again until I located them. All good fun.
