Looking for this one... cache #15 of 17 to be found today with no DNF's so far, i was SO hoping i wouldn't DNF this one.
Some 8 minutes later i was just standing and trawling through logs for a hint, seeing there were lots or rocks here the hint wasn't really helping, but it did however stop me looking in trees, grass and logs ha ha Big Grin

I had only one place left to look even though the GPS wanted me further below the path.

It was then i struck paydirt and the relief of knowing i avoided a DNF possibility Big Grin
SL with a smile on my dial at 12:04 on Wednesday the 13th [lucky for some, especially for me] of May 2020.

The cache and contents are in A1 condition [^]

Yet another puzzled puzzler's Tuesday caching expedition. Today's crew of brisal5, Mrs. SA Sewer Rats and Doctor Owl set sail south again to where we were caching DNF's recently. Whilst doing that two weeks ago we saw we had a dozen of so solved puzzles just waiting to be found. So that was the target for today. Cool We may of course got a few others along the way. [:o)]
We came we searched. We turned over every bloody rock. Nada. Twisted We checked the logs and saw the previous finder had hidden it better. Much, much better apprently. [:o)] Now it's another DNF to add to our list. Sad

**Thanks Lava12 for the search anyway. ** Razz
 
29-May-18
A scurrying Rat, an Ocean dwelling Starfish and a Low flying Owl set out on a caching day.
We searched and searched, but no luck for us today.
Maybe the CO could check on this one.
 
28-Oct-17
Found out in open so tri d to hide it a little from muggles as it’s near the path

A nice sunny day meant that it was the perfect afternoon for a quick cache. After parking I was asked by neighbors if I was hear to remove a few trees. After giving a polite no i was on my way, once at gz I was able to make a quick find and i was on my way.

CPwanderer, GoodLook and Clare007 had planned a day out caching and they kindly invited me to join them Smile
What a blast we all had: laughing Big Grin, walking and scrambling up and down hills Surprised, getting pricked by what I call ba%$#@& bush and just generally having a wonderful time out in the wilds geocaching Cool
By day's end I had 1 DNF Sad and 24 finds Smile and had managed to get to a few caches that I have long wanted to find ... thanks to the encouragement and support of my awesome companions! [^]

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

This was a cache on CP's hit list and so we came here and pondered! Then a song came to my mind and .....Wink
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road,
And I'll find McHarg Reserve's cache afore ye,

19-Jun-16
We enjoyed the walk.

Out for a caching day trip with CPwanderer, Clare007 and Locus Cache with the aim of today being to collect a few caches from southern Adelaide including Tangari Regional Park....man oh man some of the finds today had us really earning the smileys given the steep and difficult terrain.

There was a lot of laughter [^], a few swear words Surprised, some huffing and puffing up the hills [xx(] (and bound to be some sore muscles tomorrow), LOADS of silly chatter which made us all giggle [:o)].....poor CP, lots of girl talk today! SurprisedWinkBig Grin

Thanks for the cache Smile
 
19-Jun-16
We had a car full of caching women & one suffering CP,
who had to listen to our antics and girl talk [:0]
Poor CPWanderer couldn't remember which caches he had done or not
due to his proximity range on his GPS letting him down. Twisted
We gave up asking in the end and just put his name in every log...
Another interesting reserve with a view, we just had to figure out how to get to gz.
Thanks for the cache Lava12 Smile

It was calm down on the flats this morning, but not up here Surprised!
Looks like a nice place to live, apart from all the other houses spoiling the scenery Twisted.
Found the track down to the rockery and made a quick find, before driving down into the valley to see the hill from the other direction Razz.

Was going to do a sudoku weekly near Clarendon but had to stop and get fuel so went a different way, and bumped Into Kookacrew on the side of the road, also noticed my phone delete the Co ordinates, so tagged along to here instead. Quick little pop down to GZ and back and we're good to go.

Swapped over TBs with them and headed off to and mother cache.

It was a beautiful morning for a walk after staying overnight with friends in the area. [^] [^]
Found the path and after a nice stroll came to GZ. Stood back and surveyed the situation, then yep it must be there and yes it was. CoolCool
Signed the log and replaced and was heading off when a couple of dog walking muggles strolled by.
Luckily I had finished the business by then. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache lava12 and for bringing me to another place I would not have otherwise seen. Big GrinBig Grin

Last find before we headed for the X marks the spot event just up the road a bit.

Had to laugh at this one... As we were heading down to the cache a dog was trotting along the fire track... So we waited for the muggle owner to appear... NO muggle owner so we went ahead and found the cache and signed the log then headed back to the car... The dog in the meantime had made it up to the gate along the fire track and was slowly heading up the road... We turned around to head out to the Event and the dog turned into the yard of a house just up the road looking like he had arrived home... I wonder if this his daily exercise routine as he certainly seemed to know what he was doing...
Thank you lava12 for all the caches we have done today... It made our trip south an enjoyable one and we will be back to do some more..

Had trouble locating this one as GPS was not settling well. The clue was helpful though. TFTC.

Searching amongst a pile of rocks for a container is always easier when the container is bright red. Having found the cache at the other end of this reserve, I was curious to know what was further down the track. The answer is now: this cache! TFTC lava12.
