Nice simple find, now that I know what I’m looking for, I’ll have another go at the other one TFTC
Out and about down this way picking up a few caches today. This cache was one of them. All good here.
Find #3762 at 1:02:27 pm on 21 Jan 2022.

Had some spare time in the Northern area, so why not cache? Quiet day today, not even muggles near the bridge. TFTC
Headed north to the badlands to collect a few caches this morning, total of 4 found. A nice walk was had around these wetlands with no one in sight but the birds, all 3 caches were easily found and are all good

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. 
So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. 
That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]
Another Wednesday wander with just S.A. sewer Rats today.Today was about finding some DNF's and whatever else we could find in between them. 
This was the first DNF on my list and after returning and searching where I had looked before I had a look at the hint. 
Not on the bridge anymore. Doh. 
Searching a little further abroad the cache was found in the logical spot. 
***Thanks Burton's for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

The cache has been moved from its original location slightly and is in play again
I plan to check on this cache real soon. Still recovering from surgery. As soon as I can get there I will. I have asked another to assist, but still waiting
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Had a good search with hevwalker, as we couldn't access the fenced area.
There was only one place left to look, no luck finding the cache.
Could the CO please check the cache.

Had a good look with clare007 but no luck today. Can CO please check it is still in place.
I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat.
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again.
Heading out for a Pizza and Puzzle solving night in the badlands I just had to stop and search for a few caches along the way. I came and found the bridge over some troubled waters. Trouble for me was my wrist got through the bars but not my forearm and I couldn't reach where the GPS wanted me to search. Despite the low terrain rating I had to jump the fence and go down to I could look where I just couldn't feel. after finding nothing where I thought it would be hiding I when that bit further and yet still nothing. [:(!] Bugger you pwned this noob. So off I went to #3. There once again I found that it was no longer a small and was hanging around waiting to be found like #4. So on the way back to the car I looked for that style of container in that style of hide but guess what....still no cache. 
Double bugger...will have to come back sometime. [:o)]
**Thanks Burton's for the search anyway. **

An easy find for us today. This is a lovely area and we enjoyed watching the parent coots diving and feeding 4 little fluffballs. Thanks for sharing this area with us!
We head to the bridge and it took a while to find. But then we felt something under the bridge.
Took a little bit of searching but found with a couple of others after the nearby CITO
Had a dnf last time I was CITOing in the Badlands. As the CITO this time was at the wetlands I thought I would have another look for this one, still no cigar.
As we walked around the lake I asked Davidwazza and JessWrigley if they could assist.
I would not have found this one, but thanks to the agility of Davidwazza eventually this elusive little sucker was in hand. Although I didn't really have much to do with finding it or replacing it!
TFTC glad to get this blue frown off my list.
A lovely spot that is all the more cleaner now due to the CITO.

Whilst participating in the CITO in this wetlands area, jesswrigley and I strategically planned our walk via these traditional caches hidden here. Michells&hound had looked here a few times before, and so was interested in seeing how we fared with our look, especially when previous logs had mentioned the cache to be quick and easy.
First scan around GZ nope. Started discussing what it could be and continued looking, nope. Started reading past logs in trying to get clues. Still nope. We started getting an idea to where it could be, so I had to take a different approach in looking, and found it. Was going to be hard just looking from the bridge, and had been very well tucked under and outside of hand feeling. It had been jammed in also, so even with a lucky feel, it would have been hard to think it was movable. Signed and replaced, thanks.

While waiting for the nearby CITO event to start, Mini Tardis and Mr Tardis wandered over here and found this one after a short search.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Burton's.

Caching with Southern Cross Caching today, out searching for hidden creatures.
Headed to Gawler after completing the 60 series and had some late lunch. Fueled up we were ready for a few more.
SXC found this one quickly while I was looking in the wrong places.

After an early start with Rod81w on our waterbag trip from down south to attend the nearby CITO we continued to find a few caches around this area, one we don't get too very often at all. [^]
We parked the car then went for a nice walk around the wetlands to get the three caches here. A couple of them took quite a while to find the sneaky little things.
Thanks for the cache Burton's.

A rare day out North with JJ52. After a early pick up we drove to this side of town for a CITO then cached our way around the area.
Nice walk in the wetlands to get the 3 caches in this series, some took longer than the others

This one eluded me last time but not with Hubbie in hand this visit.vquick find TFTC and reset Dr Owl greatly appreciated.
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Have been driving past this cache for a while now every time I work in the area, so today it was lunchtime and decided to find a park and wander over to make the find. On the way I read the cache notes and some logs so when I got to GZ started carefully looking. Took a while but soon worked out where the hide was and started searching. Finally felt something but needed the help of a bit of local natural geocaching tool to help reach the cache. Finally extracted the cache, signed the log and carefully replaced it in its hide but hopefully so it is a bit easier to extract next time.

An Owl and a Rat headed out for their weekly caching adventure. Owl was determined to rectify a previous DNF, but her earlier guess at ratings proved correct. The cache had slid into an inaccessible place and some fence hopping was required to retrieve it. It has now been replaced in a more accessible place, so hopefully that won't be required again.
Lots of muggles coming past, searched for quite a while with no luck. But will be back as I'm positive it's there just being tricky.
The cache is still in play. Going with previous finders who can't find the cache does not mean its missing.
Attempted in the presence of a past finder. No joy. It's either not at the listed coordinates, moved, missing or much harder than the ratings suggest.
This cache is still in play and has been checked. A DNF does not warrant a needs maintenance.
Searched high and low for this one... after reading previous logs we were pretty sure where it should be and it just seemed like it wasn't there..... maybe next time TFTC
""Sneaky Squeaky" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C
Yah.... got away from all the muggle dog walkers before a nearby event. Took a little while to find, and required a local tool to reach. Returned as found, and I might have had a bit of a skip in my step on the wander back to the car. Thanks Burton's for this nice little series, will need to come back when I have more time (and my little offsider with me)
