Today we are caching with our wonderful friends Muddtrax and Krossbo,we have headed to the McLaren Vale area to check out a few wineries, taste wine, eat food, talk heaps and find caches, what a great day we have had. It is not very often that we find this style of cache container anymore, it was great to see this one out in the wild and in such good condition. All is good at the cache. SL TFTC

Spending a long weekend in the Southern suburbs which I havent visited very much since I started geocaching. So lots of unfound caches to keep me busy. The main theme was to target solved mysteries, highly favourited caches, caches requiring a TOTT, adventure labs and any other caches that I passed by.Nice quick find. Always great to see an ammo container cache, particularly one that has been around for such a long time. A favourite point from me. Thanks for the cache Arinaca.# # SmileSmile #14105 SmileSmile # #

When we picked up the rental car from the airport, little did we know it had a serious defect. The license plates on it were Victorian and I have been waiting for someone to egg it or give it a little nudge. It hasn’t gone passed us that a lot of people look down and notice it.

At least out here on these back roads there aren’t many people around to give us filthy looks. We were amazed to see this cache type out here for so long. We were lucky to visit Pertaringa/Bec Hardy wines earlier in the week and were able to post a few bottles home. tftc

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Based at Willunga house-sitting for a few weeks, today we set off via McLaren Vale to Port Noarlunga for lunch - how many caches can we find on the way I wonder?

Ahrrrrg, me 'eartys. Finally a treasure chest of swag, somewhere decent to leave a geocoin (even if it is only a virtual)

Thanks Arinaca for the hide.

A sunny friday afternoon with a day of ment that a day cachng was in order. I was hoping to finish of the cats and dogs series I started last weekend and, hopefully, puck up a few more caches around McLaren Vale. Unfortunetly a 4 O'CLock dentist appointment ment that I had to finish early than I would have liked. Despite this a good caching day was had.
