The JAMS (JJ52, allister w, mogni, sir_spectre) crew went on a Yorkes Adventure. There were a few targets for the weekend, including finishing the fishing line, hosting a CITO, clearing a few DNF's and just having some fun.
All caches were left better than we found them.
Thanks

Took a stroll along this trail today. nice area for caches. We saw heaps of swans. Nice trail.
Out with the JAMS crew for a weekend down the York's. The JAMS members along this weekend were JJ52, Allister w, Mogni and Sir_spectre. We came to finish off the last of the finish line for all of us and then goto a CITO event i was hosting near Kalpara. JJ52 and Allister W were target some certain cache types for the hard sounvier online bage. After Finishing the fishing line geoart we cached along the coast to Edithburgh and still only got to Edithburgh for dinner. Saturday was a cooler day for power trailing and only 1 snake was sighted, sunday started off cold but soon turned in to nice caching weather. We stopped for lunch in Stansbury on the way home.
 
27-Aug-23
Another weekend away with the JAMS team heading over to Yorkes to finally complete the fishing line along with other random caches that one or another of us had not found. It was a fun couple of days, Saturday was cold and windy along the coast but Sunday was a lovely sunny day with no wind, perfect for caching. After completing the fishing line...yay! we headed towards the coast and picked up a few caches around Port Moorowie before winding our way to Edithburgh where we stayed the night. Sunday morning we drove around Edithburgh then walked from there to Coobowie. After finishing there we headed to Wool Bay to avenge a couple of previous DNF's. Then it was lunch in Stansbury before heading to the CITO near Kulpara. A great weekend and lots of different caches found.

It was a beautiful day for a walk to find all the caches along this track although I didn't walk as far as the others.

Thanks for the cache The X-Trailers & earthlight. Smile

This weekend, I headed to the Yorke Peninsula. The goal was to visit Innes National Park for the Saturday to find a few of the oldie geocaches, but also to enjoy a different vicinity for geocaching. I used Edithburgh to base myself for the weekend's activities. On the drive to/from Edithburgh, I visited Ardrossan, Port Vincent, Wool Bay, and Coobowie, and also visited as far south as Sultana Point and Troubridge Point.

Today, after participating in Edithburgh parkrun, I met [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) at Marion Bay, and we travelled through Innes National Park. We drove up to Browns Beach, and then made our way back visiting and hiking Royston Head, West Cape Lightstation, Ethel Beach, Cape Spencer Lighthouse, and the historic township of Inneston. With a few hours left before the Edithburgh dinner event, we separated and I decided to head north to visit a few Yorke Peninsula oldie geocaches. Following dinner, gridge98 and I walked from Edithburgh to Coobowie find the *Where Ancestors Walked By the Sea* series.

Following dinner, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I chose to take this walk between Edithburgh to Coobowie. We left gridge98's vehicle at Coobowie's University of Adelaide marine research station, and then drove back to resume the walk. I had already completed a few caches at either end, but it was nice to have walked with someone else completing these, and we found that the time passed by reasonably quickly. It was a good evening for it, with it not being too cold or windy either. We stopped at this spot, and after a short search, we managed to find this cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks The X-Trailers & [@earthlight](http://coord.info/PR39X1P) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After dinner this evening it was approaching dark so Davidwazza and I thought we would do this walk from Edithburgh to Coobowie. We left a car at either end to save us the walk back. A nice walk along the trail chatting away. Most of the caches were easy find and a few took a bit to find in the dark. All up a good little series and caches are all good

A quick overnight trip to the Yorkes for 1.5 days of solid caching. I did a bit of the geoart by myself before meeting up with Davidwazza for a majority of the day caching around Innes National Park. With an event in the evening in Edithburgh headed over there before going for a nice walk along the water front for the evening. Day 2 I made my way from Edithburgh along the coast line and back home by lunch time. A total of 169 caches for the trip.

Thanks for the cache

Spending the long weekend on the Yorke Peninsula. I parked the car in Coobowie and I set off on my bike towards Edithburgh. A great path between the two towns makes for an enjoyable ride and perfect for geocaching. I picked lots of geocaches along the way.

Once at Edithburgh, I explored the town and grabbed a couple more caches south of the city before returning back to Edithburg for some dinner.

One or two were difficult finds, but the vast majority were found without problems. All caches were in good condition.

Thanks for the cache The X-Trailers & earthlight.

Off down the Yorke for a few days with Purrfect Di, Jack, Sebastbat, muggle Alex and Chloe the geodog (cat's crazy staff).
Celebrating Di and Matty's birthdays with a few scenic caches.
Found this cache along the way.

A great little trail of caches along here. Quite a few we did by torchlight. Still good views.

We have a small team travelling to The Yorke Peninsula from Canberra. It was decided by the group before we left that our team name would be DTY, although I act like the boss, I rarely am and so the initials actually stand for - dty73, Tankengine & Youban.

Today was the last day on the Peninsula before we head hone tomorrow. So the team decided that it was a “tourist day” and we would go have a look down the coast a bit. But of course like true geocachers we couldn’t help taking a caching route as we went. We ended up getting a lot more than we expected, but we did have a good time.

Found a bit wet, but log just damp. Tftc earthlight and The X-Trailers!!!

Found with dty73 and youban on our Yorke Peninsula invasion! All logs signed DTY (dty73/Tankengine/youban). - Had a great day today, in that we didn't do any of the power trails! That was a very nice change! So a nice variety and some very nice locations! Thanks!

As this is a generic log comments relevant to this cache will be placed at the end. On a caching trip with Dty73 & Tankengine to Yorke Peninsula. Team signed as DTY. Thank you all the cache owners who have put so much effort in placing and maintaining these caches. Our last day on the peninsula so we decided that we would explore the area around Edithburgh. The weather had turned chilly and the odd spit of rain came and went. We are enjoying this series. Kutgw

Our last day in Edithburgh, but we have been waiting for the promised sunny day of light wind so we can head north along the coast. Some great scenery and caching is hopefully in store.
Sorry-the log are starting to get a bit repetitious but we are having a great time, walking in the sun and the breeze, collecting caches as we go, enjoying the scenery and appreciating the series. it’s nice that the hides are not to onerous, but just subtle enuf to make us work for a few of them. Others we have found pretty quickly. Life’s always more interesting if things don’t come too easy!

Hi there The X-Trailers.

We found your cache **"Where Ancestors Walked by the Sea -Hide and Seek"** at 11:36:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 16893).

We cached around Coobowie today, & thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area. We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way. Today we found 12 caches (& DNF'd 1). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Over at Coobowie for the weekend to do a maintenance run for The X-Trailers and myself.
It was an early 6-30am start today walking the trail which I love.
Have noticed the undergrowth getting very dense in spots and some dead trees and shrubs which is a shame.
\Cache was in a good condition.

Quick trip to the lovely Coobowie to explore the YP. Of course it was also a perfect chance to fit in some caching and given it was my birthday yesterday, my expression of wanting to do this trail could not really be ignored, especially as it began next to the caravan park in which we were staying. However just as I was ready to leave it was discovered that we had a flat tyre. I pretty mush thought I could leave them to it, but no I had to stay for moral support, (and just incase they couldn’t do it as I can usually figure it out— and first flat with this car, different spare position etc etc…. soo the family was then very good natured as they twiddled their fingers in Edithburgh while I did the trail ! Smile

I was cycling south and trying to hide from the flies,
while I seeked out geocaches Razz
Behind the bushes is not the place to hide from flies !! [:o]
In the fresh breeze on the cliff tops is the place to escape them Smile

I seem to remember this cache being hidden in the bushes,
so I had plenty of company to help me find it Smile
