Love it

A quick find, stamp and returnTFTC

TFTCvery creative hiding spot.

Found with LoganH TFTC

Yay found TFTC

Nice find. Tried to get this one 2years ago but there were too many muggles. Finally found time to come back to get it, on a warm, sunny winters day

Replaced container and log. Cache is now a magentic mint tin.

Found it but the container is in bits and the log is missing. Beautiful area!

TFTC. Found but container is broken and contents missing

Out for a wander today in the area and looking for a few caches along the way. Unfortunately here I found what was left of said cache, and I didn't have any spares on me to do some maintenance. TFTC CachingMim

Found it, but cache is trashed unfortunately.

Found what was left today, no log to sign. we weren't carrying a replacement today...maybe next time we pass.

TFTC

Found it... not much left of it amd nowhere to sign. Luv this walk though! Thank you!

Great walk and area, water has found it’s way into the cache. But it is still there

I found the cache on the ground broken. I put the pieces together and put it back up where I think it's supposed to be.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Out celebrating the June long weekend my own way by picking up some caches and completing some adventure labs that I've had my eye on for a long time. I'm not down this way too often but I was staying at my parents so I made use of being closer while I could.

I wasn't going to go out today, until I got notified of the new Signal's Labyrinth this morning.

With my sense of adventure reinstated, I went where the roads lead. They ended up taking me around Happy Valley, Morphett Vale, Onkaparinga Hills, Reynella, Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga South, Seaford, Seaford Rise and Moana.

A total of 31 finds for the day and 5 DNFs, an 86% success rate.


Cache was visible from the path given its state... could do with some maintenance.


Cache retrieved, I left my stamp at home so I signed with good old fashioned pen.


Tweezers, torches and other useful tools of the trade are always on hand for necessary cache retrieval.

As well as a first aid kit and gloves for when things get messy.


Thanks CachingMim for this cache.


This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1155.

On the lands of the Kaurna people.

Morning weekend walk with the Sis. Bit of a muddy climb but worth it for a smiley!
TFTC! x

Lovely area in suburbia. Thanks

We collected this one while visiting friends who live nearby and took the opportunity to introduce them to the fun of caching - looks like we have made some converts! While collecting this one I came across a mobile phone stashed nearby. It seemed to belong to a school so I took it in to the nearest one where the office staff said they would return it.

Found it but was broken and on the floor. Re assembled and on the bridge but might need a new hiding place.

quick find with Debandy on a caching day out.
TFTC

Found on a quick outing with cows with guns. TFTC.

Planned a day of caching with my friends Gral4 and damonnicp today and we had a great day with a variety of caches and lots of little walks. It's been too long since we did this.

Gral4 made the find here. We found some strange rocks near GZ

TFTC CachingMim

Quick climb and was able to get this one. Tftc

Enjoyed a nice walk up to the bridge. Thankfully no snakes spotted on our trek. A good little hide. TFTC!

All your efforts to make it easy, and I go looking in all the hard places. Easily spotted in the end. Thanks for the cache

One of quite a few found on another day down south after more trads. This time mainly around Flagstaff Hill and Happy Valley.
Thanks CachingMim for the cache

*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Tftc #13 for the day

Seems a bit wet

the cache that's broken my day record!!!! couldn't be happier tftc

Tftc

A nice hide that warmed my calf muscles getting to GZ at the start of my Cluster-Grab of Caches in this lovely tree'd area [^]

I made this one harder than it actually was [:o)] but it was eventually found and the log was signed at 10:51 on Sat 18 April 2020.

All is good and dry within the cache

TFTC CachingMim

Thank you.... bit tricky at night..

Seems like there is a lot of high tec going on around here, made for a nice and easy find though

Today I started off by collecting some caches around where I am currently living at craigburn farm and aberfoyle park. A nice morning out walking around the local area. I soon made a decision to head to the south east for the rest of the day and collect the odd cache here and there before arriving at millicent for the evening. Was great to be able to pick up an FTF along the way as well. Overall 27 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Pleasant day for a bike ride, TFTC!

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the Geodog. Another frownie turned smiley, and another that I didn't log as a DNF... clearly was bitter about those two the day we originally went for them. Went under and up... To far up, looked over my shoulder and saw it further back. TFTC

Frown turned upside down

Needs to be at least a 3 because I dont want to injare my self a cache

Easy

Bridge caches are normally my nemesis, and I was just about to give up on this one, but I persevered and managed to make the find! Yay! TFTC

quick easy find and a beautiful stroll to it. tftc

Made this one way to hard but got there in the end. Tftc

Our first find. Very exciting

Nice quick find whilst in the area on a beautiful day

Yes finally found it. It was a little far from where I thought it would be be it is in a logical although sneaky place . Thanks!

I found many good hiding places. Just the wrong ones!

Good coordinates put me in the right area but still took a few minutes before I spotted this one.----SL-----TFTC

Out caching with White Elf

Found! Eventually... took half hour, and White Elf has been here before!

I was totally looking in the wrong place. Insisted to White Elf that it was missing. He was standing behind me, I bent and looked under my arm kinda upside down at him.... and there it was, right above him lol

Log now signed....

21/2/19, 3:41 pm, Find #1304

Day 6 of an 85 day mission to get a minimum of ten finds for every day in the calendar.

A quick find. Thanks for the replacement marvin.

Found, thanks marvin227 for keeping the cache alive! Nice spot for a walk. Got some other caches nearby TFTC

Replaced log book and bag to keep this cache alive (CO hasn't been active for over a year) Enjoy!

Looked everywhere but couldn't find- GS

When i approached some older muggles were crossing forest bridge kinda smiling at me and commented that i looked like i was in a prison. ..haha quick search and find. Logbook is unusable and needs replacing..tftc

??

Searched up and under, left and right, but no luck for us today.

Did not find... Searched high and low

Searched for this one a few weeks ago and didn't find it. Back this morning for an early morning walk and found it quickly. Not sure how i missed it the first time, I'm sure I looked there.

TFTC

Log sheet is unusable and now a soggy clump of paper. Needs replacing.

Tftc CachingMim, paper is wet and thus couldn't sign, found with Rowbota.

Found Night Caching with Chimp123.
Couldn't sign due to saturated log.
TFTC CachingMim

Easy thanks a nice find. Paper sodden cannot write on. Massive puddle on the path and quite muddy and slippery be careful.

Found it. Nice hiding spot

After visiting a girl friend in retirement village headed out to get a smiley on this cache
Easy find with Earthlight today
Cache all good
Not sure why but log sheets very wet
Able to stamp log sheet though
Tftc

After visiting a friend in over 50's village Gwen[The X-Trailers] and I located this cache.Glad we did not have to over reach for this one.Cache needs a bit of attention as log drenched.
Dried out best we could.
TFTC

Have previously come out for a quick look with no success, but out today with SnappyTomCats and we had the cache in hand quite quickly once the cache was spotted from an angle. TFTC

Having attempted this one previously I came up short. Today however I thought it was time for a second attempt. i don't know weather it was the added daylight, or my persistence, or just shaking cache blindness but after a quick poke around,I saw the cache in the obvious spot. Now why didn't I see that before? regardless, it's nice to finally have the name in the logbook.
tftc

Found it

Took 2 attempts but found it

Out and about with the family exploring. A quick find. TFTC.

The GPS told us in one place that it certainly was not so hubby took one side and I took the other and hubby came up thrumps. SL TFTC

Nice find

The first of 2 'Forrest Bridge' caches found today .
Took awhile to spot this one [|)].
Kind of interesting how this retirement village is split into two by the reserve - was this an old railway corridor [?]
Thanks CachingMim.

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did in 2016. I cache with an assortment of cachers and never alone. In 2016 I cached with Moneydork, Ride the GeoWalrus, Locus Cacher, Liz & Bruce and Team Zouk. My log should match up with one of theirs. I enjoy every cache find I have made and do not for one second take for granted the effort going into each one, its just I'm very bad at logging my finds and I'm trying to improve. To improve I have to reduce the quality of my log and just get it over with -- for now. If I can form a good habit again I will return to my once more meaningful logging. Thanks heaps for hiding caches around South Australia that I could find!

A lovely reserve and a nice quick find. TFTC.

I was out night caching with Moneydork, Locuscache, ridethegeowalrus and semik. We stopped to log this cache. Thanks for the hide.

Out and about on Tuesday night with Moneydork, SEMIK, locus cache and .K.B. for an excursion into the south of Adelaide. We cached long into the night, some of us longer than others, with a return journey just after midnight.

This one took us far longer than it should have. I crawled under in my white martial arts gi (I do not recommend this), checked over, climbed support structures, all while prodding and poking in the numerous places where a cache could be hidden. SEMIK was waiting to borrow my gloves when she turned around to find herself staring at the cache. Also, for future finders, this cache is now a micro, not a small. Not sure if it has always been that way.

This was find number 8 of 13 for the night for me. TFTC CachingMim!

Had to look twice for this one - dunno how I missed it - but found it eventually - signed log

Found

Found it easily with the Gps tonight....needed the torch though. Not too many lights around here at night. TFTC

We mixed up the 2 small forests when logging our find, we logged lava12s forest bridge instead of this one.
Found with geo daughter
Tftc

The retirement village don't make it easy to get to this one. Ended up parking on Chandlers Hill Road and going cross country to get to this one. But, I guess without them, the bridge wouldn't have existed. TFTC.

Tftc

GPS a bit off tonight, but a good hide, tftc!

Nice spot

Happy to find it where it was, had my fill of getting caches 5 metres up out of trees yesterday

Tftc

Found It!
That is one big gated community. I really don't get why people would want to live there...
Anyhow, I eventually found the right spot to park and after a short walk I quickly found the cache!
TFTC

Quick find and nice walk. TFTC

Very smart!

Very smart )

Out for a little caching run before dinner with Madham02 and THEJORDS121. Followed the path towards GZ and arrived at the bridge.[^] After scaring Mrs Jords with a rather large spider we started looking for the cache. I had Mrs Jords in the completely wrong place while Madham02 and Junior Jords quietly found the cache in a much more accessible spot.
Thanks for the cache CachingMim.

See JJ52 below for details!
Thanks Caching Mim

4 of us looked for ages, clever spot!

Tftc didn't have a pen on me

Mr Tardis went for a early evening stroll around this area I'd not explored before. Once I found the right track past the urban jail fences I got to the bridge. I found the cache in the first place I searched - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache CachingMim.

Took a while but found eventually, clue was very helpful.

Great find but did not have a pen.

The log was completely soaked and mouldy so put a new one in. TFTF
