Have looked for this one a couple of times and searched all over the structure, but couldn't find a cache. Sad Read through all the logs but it still didn't help!
Don't know if it is cache blindness or the cache has gone missing. [?]
Thanks Uncle Hagrid. Smile

Team Crackers and I met up with The Drovers and Konie in Bordertown yesterday as we all head to the YP as one over the next few days. Today we cached around the Mannum area with quite a few trads, puzzles, multi's and earthcaches found and logged, around 170 all up for the day. An assault on a number of series was the main focus on the day. The log books now carry the acronym CDKM or a derivative of that, depending on whether a team member had found the cache on a previous occasion.

Thanks Uncle Hagrid for placing this cache.

Out and about caching with Team Crackers, The Drovers and Micaparamedic while in the Mannum area and we headed off to cache the surrounding areas and do some power trails. We found a variety of different caches and this was one of them.

We signed the log as CDKM and all were returned as found.

Found it with no muggles around apart from some of the local bar flies from the pub watching the lightening show which was fantastic, so they weren't interested in what I was doing. Thanks for the cache.

Container is broken and falling apart and people have been adding loose pages as a log so I will post a needs maintenance post.

After visiting our grand-daughter in Adelaide for a week (also her mother and father), we started the trip home by taking many deviations along the way, this trip north of Mannum being one. Although it was quite hot, it was still a pleasant way to spend Sunday afternoon.

Again despite very accurate coordinates, it still took us a few minutes before we had this well hidden cache in hand. The cache and contents were in good condition apart from the logbook which was full - we left an additional replacement. Thanks for the cache Uncle Hagrid
