No luck in the pines today

Out and about but failed to unearth this one.

Could CO check please with recent string of DNF and no logs since beginning of the year.

Went on a hunt for this one during our summer holiday in Port Vincent. I like regular size containers. They are easier to find, and they are good for trackables. Wanted to drop one off here, but couldn't find the cache, so will keep the TB to deposit somewhere else. Thanks for the hunt.

Me 'Tour le Minlaton' passed these pines.
The pipeline provided a nice cool seat in the shade for a few moments and enjoy a drink
Then it was back to the hard work of finding caches ...
... and I did find it hard to work out where this cache is hiding [:o]
After 15 minutes of looking,
I had to admit defeat

Found on my lunch stop. TFTC

That was a grate one

Great quick find for the kids

Easy find

Suscoe was heading northwards today in convoy with Phetlern as our time in Marion Bay had come to an end.
We started the finds at Brentwood, then to Minlaton and then on to Maitland before picking up a couple of caches along the road to Port Wakefield.
It was a sunny day with a good range of caches found along the way.
The roads were quiet today which made for easy stops along the roads and around the towns.
Thanks to Clan Greenwood for this cache, what a lovely town.

09:23
Travelling in good company with Suscoe and relocating our base from Marion Bay to Port Wakefield, provided us many opportunities to stop, stretch and add a smiley, or two, to our geo-map. We parked one car & caravan in town and explored the cache rich Minlaton area.

Our thanks to clan greenwood for placing this cache.

3rd day of Bazinga01 and Arkbell80's S.A. caching adventure, today we are headed back to Melbourne and are getting a few caches on the way. After walking round and round in the trees I spotted this nicely hidden cache. TFTC

Finally finished the awesome Mystery Cache Art Series on the Yorke Peninsula yesterday. Now Arkbell80 and I get to take the relaxing drive back to Adelaide before flying back to Melbourne. Great to pick-up a few caches along the way.
TFTC!!!

First we must appologise for the generic logs. A very good reason to place a cache.

We came to Yorke Peninsular with Speedmistress who hails from Queensland to cache our little hearts out and this we are doing.

We solved loads of puzzles prior to coming and with all the earth, multi, trads and puzzles there are here we were never lacking in variety.

When we found caches that needed repair we have done our best to do what was possible, unfortunately we have now rum out of spare containers, so no more repairs can be done. We have enjoyed the scenery, the walks, the animal life and the challenges that was encountered while traveling the Peninsular. Not all the caches have been attempted due to time restraints but those have been earmarked for future visits.
We also would like to thank Speedmistress for supplying our geocaching chariot.
A huge thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

Travelled from Queensland to meet up with Muff1 for a Geocaching extravaganza on the beautiful Yorke Peninsular. Our goal to Cache, Cache and Cache. Each day our "finds" have been growing in number, some days more productive then others. We have also been careful to take time to appreciate the natural wonder of the areas we have visited. A big thank you to all of the dedicated Cache placers who have made this possible.

Found by baby&Mrs.gopher at 10.30. Took a little while. SL Tnx dan greenwood.

Found in the company of baby&Mrs gopher on our trek into the wilderness. SL TFTC

Yay found it we make a good trio

Mrs M found this one while waiting for the start of the Ray Smith Cycle Race. Cheers. MODU.

Hi there clan greenwood.

We found your cache **"Minlaton Scenic Trail - Commemorative Pines"** at 10:39:00 AM today.
This was our 5th find for the day and this makes our find count 13705.

Penny wanted to go to Minlaton, so our cache run today started at a random there. We then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest etc, & ended up finding 16 & DNFing 2 today.

###Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.###

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

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Well hidden and a good find

Enjoying the caches in this area especially as out with Doodle Bug Oz, CAD1 and a very enthusiastic muggle driver. Thanks for the hides.

Out with CAD and Corunnaroad and our enthusiastic local muggle driver on a wet day - lots of fun and frivolity while out and about today! T4TC:)

Out with the three ladies TFTC
19th

Found myself in SA for other reasons this month, and McPhan agreed to join me for the trip back. The main purpose was the Yorke P geoart, but we finished these faster than planned, so had another day just cruising around the Yorke back roads, doing caches like this one.

Thanks clan greenwood for the series.

9221 and 9th of 86 found today.
[font=Verdana] [Green] Not so much walking for us as we were on a mission. So a quick drive by was had and then we were off to the next. [/Green]


Thanks for the cache [Blue]clan greenwood[/Blue] and the needles. [font=Verdana]

Quickly found as we're passing this towns . TFTC

Already over half of our big caching trip to the Yorke peninsula. Goal is a lot of power trails today, but certainly not forget the caches on the way there from Stanbury and back of the peninsula to make it to our overnight address in Echuca! Perfect caching weather again today, not to hot, not to dusty and a nice breeze to cool off once in a while!
TFTC Wilbert67

Traveling from Yorketown to Kadina today, only 130km by the shortest route, but that's not how geocachers travel it took me all day! Lots of detours and dirt tracks explored, great scenery, and a lot of fun finding caches along the way.

Another good find here, many thanks for placing a cache for others to find [^]

Cache not for us GPS miss-behaving, jumpiing around to much.
TFTC anyway

Out for the day as part of our October LW trip. A trip With mr bee and harleyjohn2569 to see what we could see.
Feeling alive listening to the birds and collecting caches and placing a few hides.
Thanks for the hide
Left a path tag for you

Out for a day on the yorke peninsula to collect some caches with the Travellinbees.
Thanks for the cache

Found it nice and easy.

Thanks clan greenwood for the cache

Day four of the short holiday with Bettyboo3747.
Travelled from Port Vincent to Edithburgh (Sultana Point actually) via Minlaton.
Nice little avenue here, be good for bikes (if the puddles weren't so large!)
A good sized suburban cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

8705. A travelling day for Robmc and me as we make our way further south to Sultana Point for a couple of days. Gorgeous scenery again with lush green paddocks and fields of gold. This is such a beautiful time to be over here. We managed to find quite a few caches along the way.

A nice row of trees along the water pipe and dirt track. Would be a nice spot to ride the bike on a dry track. Soon spotted the hiding place on approach and added our names to the log sheet.

Thanks. clan greenwood

Got it

Quick find with Beary Organised on the 7th but didn't have time log then. TFTC SL

Another great find while in the area today on a three week geocaching holiday.

Soon had the container located.

A nice easy find on our Sunday drive through the area SL TFTC

A tricky find in the dark but a find never the less. TFTC

A nice easy one at dusk - once the gps settled tftc

After Sorceysal and I finished the fish series in 2 1/2 days, we decided to head to Maitland and beyond to grab a few more caches in a more relaxed day, without the haste. Tess the geodog also enjoyed the heaps of walks today, and the great variety of hides.

This was another in this great series, thanks again clan greenwood

Day 6 of our epic and memorable road trip. After completing the fish series in 2 1/2 days it was time to head further north for a relaxing day. A lot of walks and good company made for a pleasing day of caching.

One for me this time. Good teamwork on this great series. Thanks clan greenwood

Easy find

This one was different. Found with the Reluctant Companion on our trip to Wodonga Vic. for the Ulysses AGM. TNLN TFTC

So I have to go to Adelaide for work, on Monday so how to make a weekend of it..... contact brisal5 and turn it into a Yorke Peninsula exploration..... We were planning to find some geoart but instead got distracted by the many, many great caches located on the Yorke Peninsula.
My apologies for the generic logs my notes and memory of finding almost 100 caches in 36 hours are a bit lousy. But I truly appreciate the effort the cache owners have gone to creating some memorable cache hides in beautiful locations.

Plan A: A weekend to YP with mogni to do some geo-art caching. Of course we just had to stop and break the drive. Okay..time to go to Plan B. Cache till lunch, then go and start the geo-art and finish it in the morning. So after lunch in Minlaton. Plan C: Cache around Minlaton, go to our overnight digs in Hardwicke Bay and up early for the geo-art. It's no w dark and we're caching by torchlight. This turned out to be my last find for the day. Thanks clan greenwood. Scoreboard reads 61 finds 5 dnfs and mogni got an extra 5 or 6 I had already done. Time to head of for something to eat and get some sleep.

Found on Geo hunt drive with desertfox41 from Vincent C/P. Magic day, TNLNSL. Thanks .

While staying at the Port Vincent Foreshore Caravan Park went out Geocaching with Demon41 TNLN thanks clan greenwood

Our geomission with Rapidlywild and SpecimenX had commenced. This geomission had been in the planning since the new geo-art caches had been placed. The Canberra Day long weekend was chosen to give us enough days to collect as many as possbile. Our target is to get all of the caches in the art works and a few more if possible.

Our mission was complete after 5 days, we finished collecting all the geo-art and did the tour around the Yorke Peninsula and now it was time to head back to Adelaide to catch our flight home back to Canberra.


Quick stop and grab.

Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches we had a blast of a weekend!

Thanks

On way to Moonta Bay to stay there for few days.
Found it
Thanks clan greenwood

Quick find while passing through a friends home town, nice little spot, thanks for the cache.

TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Found on our way down to Marion Bay and Innis National Park. This was my first time coming this way, so it was a good opportunity for new caches.

I wasn't initially able to find it so called over Ms. Donnazev who immediately told me where to look (I swear I had looked there - just not closely enough).

TFTC.

Found whilst travelling to Marion Bay with Genghicat for the weekend.

Watched Genghicat go round & round in circles for a while, before I sauntered over, bent down & said "There it is". Genghicat swore he had already looked there lol

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tfc

Quick easy find while @ lunch TFTC

Out for another day of caching on the Yorke Peninsula with Alansee and Micaparamedic.

After two DNF's we decided o have a break and go for a cup of coffee and then resumed here for the final one in the series for us and we are happy to say that we are back on track as this one was found very quickly, meaning that we haven't lost our ability to find caches.


To save room in the logs we signed as M.A.C.( Micaparamedic Alansee and Team Crackers).

Thanks for al these caches.

Found with Micaparamedic and Team Crackers on a lovely day for caching. A quick find once we decided where to park.

Another day on the Yorke Peninsula with alansee and Team Crackers for our assault on the Yorke Peninsula. Most logs have been signed as MAC. Some really interesting hides made for an enjoyable experience. Had a great day, thanks so much clan greenwood for placing the cache.

After a very successful day yesterday on the Fish Trail, we decided that today we would drive a loop from Warooka to Minlaton, Port Vincent, Edithburgh, Yorketown and back to Warooka to see what the area has to offer, to look for some caches we didn't have on our initial lists and to plan a return to cache the area more extensively. This was one of the extra caches we tackled on our tour. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache clan_greenwood.

Heading home today, but caching on the way ofcourse.

We made a visit to the pines

TFTC clan greenwood!

The cache was visible in it's cave, we poked it back a bit further.

Thanks for the cache clan greenwood.

too easy

Very easy

This was a good and fun first cache for my partner. She got it almost immediately and had wet feet in the bargain. TFTC

[font=Tahoma]On the road with FelixII discovering the Yorke Peninsula[font=Verdana]

Thanks for the cache OwnerName, another quick find.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia after having attended Oz Mega.

Today we had to move house (caravan) from Coobowie to Minlanton so only attempted some multi's near Coobowie before we headed off.

With very mixed results we hit the road Jack! On arrival at Minlanton we dumped the vans and headed for Point Turton. Having seen some of the 50th birthday clan earlier in the week we were disappointed to have been too early for these caches but a return trip saw us knock these over today at high tide.

Quick grab on the way through.

TFTC

We spent a very entertaining few hours travelling around Minlaton doing caching. This was one we targetted and found. Nice work. Thanks to clan greenwood.

The Parrot went for a drive around Yorkes for a couple of days and this was one of the many caches I found along the way.

Todays journey was from Yourke town to Maitland.
We collected caches along the highway & venturing off to some of the country roads for others.
A nice variety of caches found.

Thanks for placing thiscache clan greenwood

Thanks for the wander up the main street. Stretched our legs before getting back in the car.

Day 4 of our epic expedition within SA. specimenX and myself had found the FT trail last night and solved all the puzzles in preparation for today. We set off nice and early (starting at 7:30am) and we didn't return home (place of current residence) until 11:30pm. It was a very long day however very enjoyable. We picked up a couple of caches on route to the powertrail and commenced the trail at 10:05am and we completed the last cache at 15:29pm of the powertrail. Including breaks for lunch and rest breaks, it works out to be about a cache every 2 minutes. Can't complain about that

We had heaps of fun today on the trail, I was the designated driver and specimenX was the hyped up runner. Once again, VERY strong coffee came into play this morning. specimenX was soo hyped up, at one stage her feet were in the air and her head in the ground.... ummm what the??? [:o)] On a number of occasions, specimenX would go so fast, her feet were left behind and she would almost face plant the caches.... excited much?

specimenX had a run in with a pollen tree, that decided it didn't like her, and it "poofed" all over her.... it just exploded, literally.... and she was covered from head to toe in pollen. OMG we lost it, I couldn't breath and specimenX couldn't control herself with laughter. Absolutely great day all round.

On our way to the PT, we passed through Minlaton, and OMG we were salivating over the caches there, so OFC we made our way there after the PT to do a clean up. We decided that 200 was our target today, this would be both of our largest caching days. We cleaned up Minlaton with all but 2 DNF's and one we didn't attempt as it was outside the CO's house (not trotting through gardens or shining torches at 9pm at night, don't feel comfortable doing that). We the headed back towards Port Wakefield to wind up our day of caching. The cache "Ruined" was a deal breaker for both myself and specimenX however, specimenX had a trip on some rusty wire and it could have been very nasty however walked away physically unhurt. I then opened the cache to find my biggest fear inside which was a trackable and I almost ran home to Canberra. The fear it put in me turned me very pale and made me feel very sick. Why do people make those 8 legged freaks into trackables or place fake ones in caches??? It drives me insane [:(!]

At the end of the night, we had some much earned dinner at the Port Wakefield truck stop and made our way home. We can now successfully conclude we completed 203 caches !!!! (and 2 DNF's )

Thanks to Fishy Tales for the awesome powertrail and thanks to all the other CO's for the caches we collected today [^][^][^] Now its time for some much earned sleep as we both have to be up nice and early to make our travels over to Murray Bridge for the Oz Mega 2014 [^]

This one was on the way back from the FT power trail we'd completed-so we decided to pull over and collect

Nice, quick find-always good!

Thanks for the hide, clan greenwood

After completing the FT series, we headed back to the caravan in Bute,
and picked up a few caches on the way.
Most of the hides were found quickly, with the odd one being a little tricky.
Thanks for the cache, clan greenwood.

Found on a 2 day caching run with geowife, we managed around 245 caches and the weather was almost perfect except for a few showers here and there, must return one day to get the ones we missed, very beautiful on the peninsula and look forward to returning.

Found on day 2 as we slowly, very slowly make our way home.

Thanks to clan greenwood for placing the caches for us to find

Found with Team Waldron on the way through to some serious caching in the YP with Astro, Freddo, White Dog Gang and Honey Sucker. TFTC. We also met Moses on the Move and Jeremiah Bullfrog in Port Vincent and had a few hours caching with them. A lovely day! TFTC.
