Challenges are fun, challenge caches are fun, and then there's Brad&Janet's challenge caches on that very VERY steep hill, my legs will never forgive me for those ones

Found

Now that the main reason for our journey was over and multiple caching trails were completed it was time to venture home. Our Mob had gone separate ways. Only three teams left now us, Rapidlywild and The Drovers.We cleaned up a few more while in the area before making the slow journey home.All the others had previously completed this trail but thankfully they were happy to help out and drive around the loop again so we could get our name in the logs.Thanks for the hide and series Mattycat and thanks for a fun adventure Rapidlywild

Out to get some numbers early to reach 4K by the end of march. TFTC SEMIK and Mattycat.

The weather is getting very warmer, but I won't give up until the series is completed... I'm so happy to sign as an EV, and thank you for the cache and hunt.Some of the caches need TLC and refresh.. due to some damp log and damage to the container, etc..

Found it! Knocking off a few of the 50 today. TFTC!

Buzzz go the busy beees

With an afternoon free and a storm forecast for mid-afternoon, we decided to find some caches on the ‘50’. Not too far from home and not a full day’s worth of caching.
Most of the caches we stopped for we found. Some we bypassed as there were locals present or there was nowhere to stop safely. The dry weather roads were relatively dry for the most part, quite wet in places and completely impassable in others!
A good couple of hours caching and no storm.
Please excuse the copy and paste.

Careful of prickles!

Another quick find. We are changing from Windy , cold to bright sunshine and back as we travel these roads

While staying in the caravan park, we decided to do some geocaching nearby. This series is a nice opportunity.
Thank you Semik and mattycat!

Always good to have an easy one sometimes.

Great weekend out caching. It’s certainly been an adventure.

Good spot

Found with Aussie M and M.
Today was all about the 50 series.
Ive been wanting to find this series for years. Sadly a few DNFs and some did not attempt due to the dry weather only roads on a partially wet day. Tftc

Found it

Not to easy

Good find 2 one to find it

Think I logged the whole series this morning but can’t be sure till I see smileys on the map. Installed new logs where needed (a few were mouldy), replaced caches that were def missing... one was just a base no lid or log. Got twigs in my hair, drove down a goat track (you know the one), consumed water and fruity chews, found a few on the ground, most were exactly where I thought they’d be Picked a zillion bits of speargrass outa my old runners.

A real pleasure to explore this region today

Had seen this Geoart whilst studying the BV caches and I just so happened to be travelling on one of the tracks so couldn’t NOT stop to grab a few on the way. No time to finish the rest.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Found with Waldos, logged as L&W.

Wasn’t so hard

We do love a challenge. We stepped carefully through the long, dry grass looking for wiggly sticks, whic luckily we saw none of. Thanks for this cache.

Tricky one!!!

Look hard!

I do like a good challenge cache.

Nice looking crop of wheat next door.

TFTC and series.

Day 5 of our holidays was an early start for the ability to cache all day. We uncovered some geo art, went on very interesting dirt roads, found out some local history and had lunch at one of Mrs IML72's favourite pubs the Gungellan Hotel from her favourite TV series. TFTC

Found with Tracking Turtles. TFTC

Great Cache, TFTC, Found with FKcats

Today we are on our way from Peterborough to the Barossa Valley and are trying to pick up some caches on the way.

#19: As we were sitting in the car the whole day, we decided to make a short walk. We came across the 50ies and as we noticed they we quite easy, it was a good way to motivate Little Umegüxle for a walk. He was always proud, when he could find one. Alle caches we made on our way could be found without any problems and are in good condition.

Regards from Switzerland.

Thanks for the five oh series. I had a great day caching, adding some good numbers to my tally.

TFTC nice find quick drive by

A quick find, log was signed & dated then put back to where we found it. At this time of year you can hear many of the gas guns shooting off to scare away the birds from the grapes, so NO you are not being shot at lol

No18 today so sorry for the generics but here we go. Here for the TDU 2020 and definately some intestate caching. Located all available of the 51 except for those in the 30s not listed. Thank you for the adventure and the challenge. The 4x4 section is overdue for a grader job. Cheers

Started the series with the kids today. 18 down. Tyftc. Jones family

After spending most of the morning and early afternoon in my car going from cache to cache, it was time to get my bike off the bike rack and get some exercise.

I parked near #35 and the set off on my bike to complete the 0 trail. Then moved my car to the 5 trail and again set off on my bike.

Not sure how many kilometres but in today’s heat, it was quite a work out for me.

All caches found. One cache needs a new container (#35) and about half a dozen had damp logbooks but still write able. All others were good.

Thanks for creating and maintaining this series- I had an enjoyable afternoon.

Thanks for the cache SEMIK.

Cache in good order

Easy hardly had to look for it

Found. Unable to sign log cause it's wet.

Bend down for this one. Water has leaked into it.

Nice easy find but log very wet TFTC

Snakes!!!

While staying this area we knew we just had to do the caches in this series, plus a couple of others close by. All except one log was signed, all containers were replaced in position before we moved on again. There was a huge variety in the condition of the logs which varied from one that couldn't be signed, through to acceptable, good and some were excellent.
We decided to give a few caches a miss, as the tracks leading to them were deeply rutted and not appealing at all.
Many thanks go to the CO's for each cache placement.

The caches around here looked like fun, so we came along with goingplaces2 and had a good go at these ones. Some tracks were good, some were OK and some were very iffy. Logs were signed, caches were replaced and the job was done. TFTC.

Out n about completing the Mystery at the Museum quest. TFTC

Out and about with my sister helping her complete the Mystery at the Museum quest. TFTC

I had some time to kill before having my Mother's Day dinner at Angaston...there is only one thing to do...yep! find a few caches...so I did...
TFTC SEMIK

A good challenge cache is fun. And so is the challenger of a puzzle. Even some of the high terrain caches are a good challenge too.

Thanks for the cache SEMIK.

Enjoying our explore of this area aided by geocaches. Couldn't go past the 50 series. Thanks for placing and remi ding us of all the things we love about caching! Tftc

Hi there SEMIK.

We found your cache **"Five Oh - 18 The Challenge"** today. (This makes our find count 22098).

Today we headed out from Kapunda to attempt the "50" series We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds but due to some high winds we had to abort our run half way and return to camp to rescue our caravan awning before it blew away. Please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]
###It would be a good idea to employ a 4WD vehicle for caches 5-8 due to the severely rutted track.###

We found 27 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge in the majority of caches.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Thank you SEMIK for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
