Bushbashed to here from the Bradshaw cache on the Riverside Track. Was a bit of a climb out of the river. This cache is in serious need of help though. It has disintegrated beyond rescue. Shattered pieces of plastic and the remains of a plastic bag. No log. Signed the magnet as a previous cacher had. Needs Maintenance please redcenterdazza to keep this cache alive.

There's no cache to speak of, just shards of plastic. Time to go.

I don’t think it’s there anymore. Looked all around the tree, log and rocks, but couldn’t find it. Maybe gone?
 
27-Jul-22
For me it was a bike ride.

Only plastic shards are all that exist of this cache. Fortunately there was a fridge magnet with some white space -my name is in the log book.

Thanks for the cache redcenterdazza.

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 8. I spent the day around Alice Springs collecting some caches we did not get to last year. I found some very rough roads along the way.

The walk to the walk cache and the wallaby rise cache was fun and both were nice places to visit.

Thanks.

Caching my way from Adelaide to Alice Springs via Uluru for the Red Centre Experience event. Today was day five and our first full day in Alice Springs. After a quick coffee and meetup with people at event GZ, my travel companions AlphaDeltaIndigo, Moneydork, semik and I grabbed everything we could.

This was find number 6 of 19 for the day for me. TFTC redcenterdazza!

Caching in the Alice Springs and Eastern MacDonnell ranges region for the long, long weekend all thanks to the Red Center Experience geocaching event in Alice 13-17th April 2017. My apologies for a generic log, but I'm notorious for not logging my caches. I am just trying to get up-to-date so someday I can celebrate milestones again. cheers and thanks to all for their efforts to make the hide findable and most in a location worthy of a visit without geocaching (but I'm glad I got a smiley too!)

Mickeydv and I headed out for an early evening stroll. We parked at the suggested waypoint and headed off right on sunset. Our head torches soon became necessary. We were pleased to find all caches right where our gpsr pointed. The first is deteriorating but numbers 2 and 3 were in great condition. Thanks for the little loop of hides.

"Why drive when you can walk ?"
A mantra for life [^]

Personally I prefer the alternative version ...
"Why drive when you can walk or cycle ?"
But that is just me Red Face

The basis of the philosophy is that you avoid the use of infernal combustion engine power wherever possible [^]
The world will thank you for it Smile
So will your health Big Grin

And so will those unseen individuals who are nearby who you do not annoy with those hellish instruments of destruction such as leaf blowers, dirt bikes, jetskis, hoon cars, modified 4WDs, chainsaws, whipper snippers, lawn mowers .... and the most hellish of all ... portable generators [:o]

Sorry I might have got carried away there Red Face
But every time you close a car door quietly, rather than slam it ... a few people around you do not turn and give you an annoyed look Big Grin

I did enjoy my walk around the caches today and this one was a very pleasant diversion up a small hill Big Grin
While I was sitting up on high, a 'tour group' of identically clad mountain bikers numbering about 25 found the bottleneck at the fence line Big Grin

This was a very pleasant walk along a sandy track, scenery is wonderful. I must admit every where I have been around Alice the scenery has been spectacular.
Just as we entered the Telegraph Station Reserve we found the cache just a short distance away.
Thanks redcenterdazza
