Found with Liz and Bruce on a good day for caching. We didn't see any Rangers today - Smith or otherwise.

We ventured to Nelson this morning with Alansee to do some of the caches which we knew we would enjoy in this scenic location and we were not disappointed. We encountered emus and kangaroos on the forest tracks but luckily not too close up We found a variety of hides and thanks to jgc3 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

A nice drive through the Lower Glenelg River Reserve.
Quickly located with CPwanderer, thanks for the hide jgc3

Easily located with clareoo7!!

a nice drive around the forest grabbing caches in between and during the rain showers. Lots of wildlife seen.

Catching up on missed logs !
Found with relle77!

Our last day at Mount Gambier, before heading east, to catch up with muggle friends.
After lunch, we drove south to Nelson for some sightseeing and caching.
Lots of nice country to drive through, and we found a good variety of hides.

Cache was located after a short search, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, jgc3, for us and others to find.

Good quick find

Lovely spot

We are on a mission to knock over the caches on this track this morning before our driver/geopartner decides he has had enough:) It was lovely to cruise along here in perfect weather and stop for caches every so often. The caches were all in excellent condition, many thanks for the hunt this morning!

Had us going but we found him TFTC

We had an overnight stop at Nelson so headed out to find as many of the BLE as possible. This gave us a small tiki our of the town.
Thanks for placing this cache jgc3

Finding some more Nelson caches on the last day of the trip before going home. Thanks jgc3.

GPS fluctuations made this one a bit tricky. Cache in good condition. Left CFA carabiner as well as Victorian and SA Bushfire Information Lines key tags. TFTC

TFTC

Our last BLE find for the day, we would have hunted more of them but lost phone reception here and didn't have them loaded in the GPS. Bugger.
Thanks for all the caches jgc3.

Our 655th Cache Find After having tea with fellow cachers, Geomum & Geodad decided the night before that we would head out & have a family caching day today. We had saved a fair few into our phones for the day. This was the 4th one on our list. We had done a few of these not that long ago but only got so far & had no service so we are back. TFTC

Cache found on the Joy of SECS tour with four-fun, Freddo, thewhitedoggang and Team Waldron. There were a stack of boxes to find so we pushed on. We even had a quick round of Mountopoly and a couple of Powertrails to add to the fun. The weather was cool and sometimes icy so wet boots were the order of the day.


Thanks to jgc3 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A 3 day caching expedition with Freddo, Astro, WhiteDogGang an Four Fun.

Apologies for the generic log but we did a few trails and some of the Mountopoly series. We also did most of the BLE series.

The mozzies were full on at times and it rained most of the first day.

TFTC

This cache was found on the Joy of SECS Tour 2013. Thanks for the cache. Our group had a lot of fun this weekend. We were in a rush today and there was more caches to find. Woot.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found when on 'The Joy of SECS' tour/assault along with Freddo, Astro, Team Waldron & White Dog Gang. Much fun was had, very wet boots were experienced and many caches were found including this one!
Cheers & TFTC [^]

Great spot, cool cache.

After not having any internet for nearly two years I am finally getting around to logging some caches that I did with Team Crackers a long time back.
We completed quite a few BLE caches back in 11-8-13 and I cannot remember them all now so apologies to the cache owner for the cut and paste log.
I am working off Team Crackers list for that day.
Many thanks for the fun Day

Very easy to see!

We were out with Super Pop collecting some of the BLE caches and having a great time finding more by instinct than with the GPSr. This one we missed and went back for the GPS when Diane spotted a geotrail and sure enough at the end we were rewarded with a nice easy find of a great sized container.
We added our names to the log and were soon off again with no sign of Ranger Smith, Yogi or Boo Boo.
Once more our thanks jgc3

In the Mount for the Goths dinner event and the Geozing Race and of course...caching Out for the afternoon with Aussie M&M and Mogni.

Missed the BLE event but picking up a few of the caches this afternoon. Generic logs but thanks to jgc3 for the series. Hope I can finish them next time I am in this neck of the woods.

Couldn't see a ranger around but did find a cache.... TFTC.

Out with Aussie M & M and brisal5. Slowing finding all of these caches... one day I will be finished
Thanks

Found with whitey84 TFTC

Tftc found with skytrol, on an arvo/nite out caching

Poor log, but mother nature is still looking after the cache in it's little hidey spot. More kangaroo's jumping around between Caches, the sun is just coming out and everything is shining, its also very soggy, I am very soggy lol. . This is what I love about Geocaching TFTC!

Mother nature has shown who's boss in this area! Had to laugh at someone's log saying they sat on the log and broke it! Thanks

We'd found this one no worries, but the GPS decided to turn off randomly, then when turned back on had deleted all our loaded caches. After a moment of panic we got them reloaded and went on our merry way. Thanks for the cache.

Our plan for the day was to grab a least 20 of the BLE caches and go wet a line and hopefully land a fish or two. After lunch at the Nelson Kiosk the kids decided they'd rather go shopping in Mount Gambier than fishing in the river. As a result our tally ended up a couple short for the day. This was the tenth of 18 finds for the day.
We found the cache but no pic-a-nic baskets hey Boo Boo

Found in the days following my attendance at the BIG Little Event at Nelson Vic. Sorry for brevity. Logged from my Garmin GPS phone. TFTC. SL.TNLN.

I was a bit daunted by the wealth of possibilities, but it turned out to be a quick find. Cache #1,482.

Monday at BLE and after packing up, Dennisc52 and I left the campsite and parked his car. Well, mine was already dusty and dirty and his was still clean

Dennisc52 and I managed to achieve locus cache 25 times before we parted company and took separate routes back to Adelaide.

However I hung around Nelson for a bit longer and so, by the time that I stopped at Millicent for the night, I had gathered up another 19 locus cache smileys (with 1 DNF ), making this a 45 cache day [^]

Many of the caches along this trail were picked up by Dennisc52 as they were on his side of the car so I apologise that I cannot remember them all individually However I did love the names for these caches

A quick dash with locus cache after packing up at the BLE in Nelson. TFTC.

My 500th find I think. Hard to keep track on a big weekend like this.

Bon and Ben come along so could share it with me. Thanks Cabbos for taking the photo for me.

Our last day of caching around Nelson as part of the BLE.

An early start so no one on the road except us so far. Really enjoying the different cache hides and the interesting locations we are visiting as I travel with J+J.au caching the area. SL..TFTC

At the BLE Event in Nelson. Caching with Whites on Windsor, lolfrog, and jeffeddy. Great cache, TFTC.

Wow, an emu shot across the road, tried to get a picture but it was gone, you could see the head running in the shrub. So funny. TFTC

Found this neat cache during BIG little EVENT. Our thanks go out to all involved in the event and to all who have placed caches for the event.
Our apologize for the late logs, and the boilplate plate logs.
Due to events happening in our lives just after the event, the logging had to be put on hold until now.
We had a fantastic time, met some new caches and even bumped into a few old ones from afar.
Many, many thanks to all involved.

Find #10 for today at 1235 Hrs

My caching bud for the weekend, Happy Pants & I decide to grab some caches around Nelson whilst attending the Big Little Event...

Made a nice straight forward find... Another down in the BLE series...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

Thanks jgc3 for the cache & bringing me here...

Found during the BLE in Nelson with Snap Happy, another one down in the series.Should of brought my pic-inic basket. TFTC

No bears, no rangers, just a quick find.

#3517 Great to see a cache dedicated to a Ranger - they do a trojan job and hopefully will be a great advocate to our hobby (if they continue to see care, respect and responsibility there is no reason why they won't). Once near GZ, LoMo&Co and we followed the numerous footprints down the culvit straight to GZ. Another nice sized container in very good condition and well hidden. Thanks once again jgc3

Found with Team Pedal Pushers, Whites on Windsor and lol frog during the 'Big Little Event'.
