Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to chrispy89 for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021! Razz
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Big Grin Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]Cool

DAY 5: Exploring some mid north towns.
Of course we had to visit the silos whilst in town. Razz This was why. Another Chrispy silo cache in the bag. Smile

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted 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 from over fifty to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks chrispy89 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin

Great day of caching with Deltaducks. Grabbed this one as we passed through Jamestown. Nice bit of history. Quick find but felt a bit exposed here. Luckily very quiet this morning. Tftc
 
06-Nov-21
Out for a drive in the area today to grab a few caches to check off our Hidden Calendar. Was very close to this one after collecting others nearby so why wouldn't we get this one too. Well the true story would be we wanted to grab the nearby virtual, missed the turn off, so did a loop around the block and this one came us as nearby - so why not grab this one lol. A neat hide.

Hopefully one day these may be painted Smile
It's great to be able to travel and see so many quaint little country towns.
As we meander down towards GeoVenture 2020 (in 2021), Millicent, we stopped to put a smiley here.
It's wonderful to explore SA through the eyes of a Geocacher,
especially when it takes us to such interesting places.
We found your cache and with signing duties done and dusted,
we replace the cache as found.
Thanks for sharing this interesting location.

We travelled from Portland Victoria across to WA to see our daughter in Perth. Now we are slowly heading home via Yallingup, Denmark and Esperance. Having now crossed back into SA we stayed a night in Streaky Bay, Whyalla for three nights of miserable weather and now we have about 3 nights to get back home.
Today we travelled from Whyalla to Jamestown.

After setting up camp we headed out to visit a couple of the local spots of interest.
Thanks for showing us this part of the world chrispy89

In Peterborough for the weekend with Bron, a occasional muggle cacher...
Today was the last day of our trip but before heading for home we had a few more caches to get...just one more Wink

We had just finished dinner and not able to locate the cache at the park where we ate so this was the very last one before we thought we had better make our way home as it was going to be 11pm before we get there...

A quickly found cache...might have to come back some time to look at the Museum when it is open...

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a quick overnight trip to Port Pirie. The plan was to geocache around the town, and then head across through to Jamestown via Gladstone and Caltowie in order to find a unique hidden month oldie cache nearby. We then joined the geocaching community at the Gawler dinner event.

Today, we got up early and spent the first half of the day travelling around Port Pirie. A few highlights were the views of the lead smelters, the historic main street, and wetlands. Once a bakery lunch was had, we headed east, and found a few geocaches in Gladstone, Caltowie, and Jamestown. We then left some time to visit Bundaleer Forest Reserve for the 05/2001 hidden cache, as that was my last remaining available South Australian Jasmer grid caches. We then drove the few hours south to the international geocaching dinner Gawler event, before heading home.

We looked around GZ with no sign of the cache. We then saw some logbook paper strewn across the ground, with the previous log noting that that was likely the geocache destroyed. We made a PAF to the CO, who allowed us to set aside a replacement cache here. The cache container is now an Eclipse container with waterproof paper. Thanks chrispy89 for the cache placement.
