Hi

I'm sorry, but your recent move has brought your cache too close to the Traditional Cache of "Animal Facts : Flying Snake" http://coord.info/GC4QQCM and will need to be moved. Please read the following item on cache saturation http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachesaturation


I've disabled this listing for the time being, could you please move it to a new location that fits within the saturation guidelines. Once that is done you may enable the cache.

Regards
John

Will wait a little longer as receptacle still not been replaced

Checked on Sunday while working nearby and receptacle is still down. Once it's been replaced I'll put cache back.

Have grabbed the cache, will replace when the receptacle gets replaced.

Spent a couple of days at Kuitpo with the 4WD club and got in some caching as well. TFTC.
This was easy as the receptacle is on the ground

Found this one after reading the below note - it looks like it's been through a lot. I couldn't manage to get the log out as its crammed at the bottom of the cache. Clever hide, though. Thanks.

Having decided that it was a great day for a walk and a picnic in Kuitpo we planned to collect some more in the Animal Facts series along the way. It is always interesting to read about the animals - a very appropriate location for the container! TFTC [:]

Had found this cache on 1/8/15, and we parked the car here to take the geodog for a walk. Noted that the receptacle that the cache is in had been knocked down. Found the cache container on the ground about 10 ft away, then found the lid nearby, then found the log even further away. Considered myself lucky to find them all before they were destroyed/blown away. Put them all back together and fixed things up as best as I could.

Found with Pathfinder group. Tftf

Spent the morning with some lads from the Morphett Vale Pathfinder Club who are completing the Geocaching Honour. The group included Jimmy01, Jourdster5555, Blue Cheeta C, Shadowss and green mere cats. Thank you 3LG for the cache and the series.

found with getnict + luaygirlz plus a muggle while taking the dogs around for a walk of kuipto forest. Really should have checked the first place I looked harder.

Out and about caching with sir_spectre, lauzygirl and muggle whilst walking geopups.
Great spot out here for a walk on a lovely day.

Fab hide.

Out for a day with the family. I enjoyed my bike ride and the good variety of hides.
Thanks 3Lg

Found during our holidays in Australia Greetings from Switzerland

Dropped past on the way home from work and finally found that bloody chimpanzee!

Just had to get in the zone.. walked into it!

Cloud cover made figuring out which tree was it difficult; checked a few but will return when the grass has died down.

Found by The Boofs TFTC .

Nice hide. I only had a chance to grab a couple caches on my way home from Kuitpo (chookaloo) with the family. TFTC

One of two DNFs on a lovely Father's Day outing with the whole family, as we went on a 5km walk through Kuitpo Forest tracking down some of 3LG's 'Animal Facts' caches. Some of the trail was under water after yesterday's heavy rains, so while today's weather was cloudy but fine, we still ended up with muddy shoes and soggy socks. It didn't dampen our spirits though as we racked up the cache finds and had a great day out. Thanks for the hunt. Will try again another day.

Well, this is the third time I have looked for this chimp.
Very clever.
Thanks for annoying me for so long!

Lovely day for it. Managed to dodge the rain and pick up a few through the forest. Favourite from us for the nice camo and location. TFTC!

I love those caches you spend an eternity looking for then a light build just goes off and you soon have it in hand.... these was one of those.... very sneaky!!!... thank you for the cache 3LG

5th of the day well hidden gps is off but thanks for the glue.

No good, just could not spot it : (

Quick and easy find.
Great hide at a busy intersection.
Tftc!

Took a little to hone in on where it was but once I read the sign it hit me in the face

After a few false starts and a think about it we finally found it! Thankyou for the hide

Out for a bit of caching on Kuitpo. Love this area when it's not too hot TFTC 19/03/2016 1:47 pm Find #1117

This one didn't make a chimp of me. TFTC. 19/03/2016, 13:49 Find #1692

Was in the neighbourhood, thought I'd find your cache.
Thanks for putting it there 3LG

All I can say is that I literally walked into this one.

Thanks for the cache, 3LG

Out caching in the thunder storm this afternoon with clare007 & my dog, Mandy (she's deaf so couldn't hear the thunder)...
No monkeying around required to retrieve this cache...last one before heading home...TFTC 3LG

Oo eee lucky i didnt need to climb.

Out and about on my own as the rest of the clan wanted to go out shopping.
Thought today would be a good day to clear some more out of kuipto. 
Thanks 3lg

Traveling through on the B34 today and I was able to make a few finds in the area. Hoping to come back one day to do the ones on the trails as well, but it would definitely need to be a bit cooler than it was today!

Many thanks for the hide and adding to my geocaching holiday fun [^]

Geowife insisted we do this one as friend and I had missed it last time. She found it in the first place she looked. TFTC

Arrived to find the Monteraj family here thought I'd wait til they were done so spent some time removing grass seeds from my socks. Eventually Mr M came over and asked me if I was looking for a cache. I suggested where I was going to look and he made the quick find TFTC it was a good one!

Gee wiz - the GPS was going bonkers here. I was jumping from tree to tree and then gave up. Went to find some others in this series.

Returned soon after to have another go and another geocacher arrived, who suggested we stick to the hint. A quick find followed.

Very clever and very sneaky hide. Geowife was impressed.

TFTC

What better way to start the weekend than a 5 hour trundle through a forest finding caches? 41 caches, 4 DNFs, 15 kangaroos and 3 kookaburras. Reading the hint was a great help as the GPS was a little off for me. TFTC

Another in the series

Quick find TFTC!

Very sneaky. Almost gave up but then geohubby spotted it.

Found it! Tftc!

Good hide

Second out of 30 caches for today. Nice hide and did not need to be like a chimpanzee to retrieve this one.
tftc 3LG

Great hide. Many thanks. Love doing these.

Managed to get all 41 caches in this area today with the Geowife. It drizzled on and off most of the day and took us about 5 hrs / 13km of walking to get them all - quite a rewarding experience - particularly finding them every 5 mins or so as we walked. Saw heaps of kangas, lots of birds and sloshed through countless puddles and overflowing creeks. Cooked up hot noodles and a hot cuppa for lunch at the edge of the forest - a tops day out.
Thanks for the cache!
A good hide this one - I missed it but the Geowife found it

Found it after gps stopped being stupid cache in hand and signed

Day 3 McLaren Vale.
Today we went into the forest searching for some animals. This was our first sunny day in ages, the ground was still wet, slippery & some puddles to negotiate in places.
Hubby walked one section of the trail while I did another.
Parked the car near this cache had a quick look but didn't see it but when we returned we found the sneaky chimpanzee just hanging around.
Thanks for placing this cache 3LG

Found this while House Sitting in Virginia...

Decided to head out into this picturesque area to grab some caches as I took some photo's of this beautiful area... A cool but fine day with the CO, to me what caching is all about... Fantastic area, good company & a few intestines caches thrown in for good measure...

A bit of a stroll, a short search, found cache, stamped and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment 3LG...

Checked cache and replaced log sheet.

The Geo Daughters 1pinkexplorer and 1funnyhoney had 2 pupil free days. We thought it would be good to go off camping. What better than to go camping where there are lots of caches to find. Had a great time camping at Chookarloo. Loved finding this cache and a few others near by as it meant that we had to go walking in the forest spending time as a family.

On the first day half of team the_xtrailers has to work. So I was taking the girls out ahead of time to get an extra night of camping in. We were going to meet up with Hevwalker12 to do some caches in Kyeema and surrounding areas. As we had reached the forest early we thought we would take a short walk and collect some caches while we waited. A nice short walk for the kids to get started

A sensational break

TFTC

A nice day for a walk around the forrest with Mattycat for a extra set of eyes, most of the caches were in great shape a couple are in need of maintenance but they will be listed on the caches concerned, enjoyed the variety of sizes and hides as we walked around the pines even a laugh at some of the cammo used as usual a fun day out and a swag of animal facts in trivia bank and now also smilies on the map TFTC 3LG

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise!
Out for an afternoon and evening walk and cache with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin (and Amber).
Nice variety of hides. Fav'd a couple for the cool camo
Most in great condition and neatly tucked away. Noted on a couple where attention might be needed.

Fabbo hide!!!

Thanks to all who placed caches.

Another find in the series. Will they ever stop?

Our thanks to 3LG and clear skies from TeamAstro..

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc

found it

Found today with muggle partner who only has patience for a limited number of caches so will have to take a raincheck on the rest! We were lucky enough to go behind the scenes at the chimp enclosure at Monarto zoo, a fantastic experience:) thanks for the hunt today.

Had a day of caching in Kuitpo and picked this up along away.
Tftc

Today I had a space in my Caching Calender, so out I went to find a cache.
I'm heading to Longwood from Victor Harbor to watch the inter-state volleyball matches of the Australian Volleyball League. I looked at the map and this was about half way.
It's a beautiful day and caching is a great activity today.

The Gps was a bit out on this one, 6 meters out approximately. Good one though.

Took a little while as GPS had us wrong side of the road. Found cache when all other possible spots had been searched and I was left with one last possibility. Fortunately I then saw a little giveaway that has been present with some other hides of this type. TFTC

Darknstormy and i got ourselves up early on this beautiful day and put our bikes on the back of Darknstormy's geowagon and headed to the forest for some bike riding and cache gathering

Most of the path was nice and easy but the tractors have carved up some of the inner paths and bike riding was made alot harder and near impossible in some parts. We also came across some fun water crossings where Darknstormy powered though without fear and i was a bit more unsure and ended up on my butt in a deeper one Where as Darknstormy nearly needed to be towed out of one

I love the size of many of the containers we come across today and all the caches were full of swaps and well looked after which makes it more fun to find

Thanks for bringing us here 3LG and helping us with an excuse to get the bikes nice and muddy( and also our selves) and apologies for a generic log, i wish i could personalize them more but unless we log as we go, i just cant remember all the details

Thanks 3LG

Furrangel and I decided it was time to brush off the cobwebs on the Geobikes ad go for a bit of a ride..

So we set out to do about half of the caches here so we have another excuse to come back. In some places it was unrideable due to the mess the trucks have made due to the recent logging. Also there is plenty of water around making some off the areas very muddy. Which Furrangel found out hehehe... lets just say someone decided to see how cold the water was.. My self I headed for every puddle I could see.. testing my balancing skills... Lets just say i nearly needed a snatch strap in one of the mud holes. lol Other than having to push the bikes at certain parts it was a nice ride and we got more done than we thought.

Looking forward to getting back to do the rest hopefully the water has moved on..

Thanks for the caches 3LG and the now sore bums ..... will deffently be looking at a new seat for the bike! Was also great to see another flock of Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo's flying but as we aproched the first cache on the list

Sorry for the generic log... you know how it is... and you gotta expect it.

We set out for an afternoon of caching having decided to explore Kuitpo and the many many caches hidden here.
When we arrived I realised that the download had not worked on the GPS (it does that sometimes). We weren't planning on driving home again for an hour to rectify the situation, so I did another download to the tablet and we went from there. Problem with the tablet is that the co-ords aren't very accurate. So, we ended up doing what we could in the time available by transferring the co-ords for each cache manually into the GPS as we walked around.
An excellent series 3LG, love the animal facts and the walk. We have given this one a fav. point on behalf of the series.
We will return for the remainder.

After recent rains I was lucky enough to do this series on an almost perfect walking day - sunny but cool. I foudn the coordinates to be gernerlly very good, especially given some of the tree cover. The maintenance of the theme throughout, and te information on each cache shows the excellent effort put into making this more than just a bunch of caches, as was the variety of hides.

I did not have a single DNF which was mostly due to the findable hides and maintenance, so many thanks for that.

All in all this was a most enjoyable experience, that even that logging didn't dampen much. I walked it all and didn't record the time but it would have been about 4 hours.
Thanks again 3LG.

Very clever TFTC

Back logging: I forgot to log this one, I can't remember exact date but I'm pretty sure it was found the same day as the others published n this group.

Apparently not or I would get FTF by a few days. Will log as todays date until I can check.

This one was tricky, had me looking like a chimp to start with but finally the penny dropped and there it was. Love it!!! Favourite point from me.

Don't see many like this one. TFTF

TFTC So used to looking in trees.???

Decided to do a few caches in this series yesterday afternoon after paying my cousin a surprise visit at the nearby Chookarloo Campground, This was the second of the day, I was rather ambitious downloading 29 caches to my GPS but managed to do them all! This one was quite sneaky, it deserves a fav point!

This was hard to find raise your eyes upwards!

Out with proody and group. Good hide. TFTC

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

Currently camped in Kuitpo Forest we decided we better get out on the Electric GeoBikes today as the track is likely to be the driest it's going to be for a while.

We had a great ride but thought we would start at Peregrine Falcon but soon found our way blocked by logging works so our list was reversed and we started at Chimpanzee and had to ride in/out the same way.

Surprised to see so many people about today! We first met a hiking group who contained geocachers in fact they muggled us at Mosquito which was a DNF for all of us. Then we saw 3 cyclists out and about mountain biking through the forest. Further along we saw a lady walking her dog

Then near the end of the trip we saw 2 work vehicles obviously checking on the logging works. Not to mention a cow on the wrong side of the fence and a mob of perhaps 100 kangaroos watching us at 1 cache alone.

We enjoyed the ride and are disappointed that we may not get to finish the disabled caches in this area. Great variety of hides and cache types and sizes.

A great little series and obviousy a lot of thought and effort has gone into the series. We will be giving a few fave points to individual caches today.

The GPSr did not want to settle here so after a few mins and no cache we talked about the animal and Mr Felix soon had the cache in hand. Nice hide indeed.

TFTC 3LG and we congratulate you on your first year of caching obviously was a very busy year for you!

we stopped monkeying around & found this one pretty quickly as we have one similar ourselves.... nice hide, we were out for a few quick finds to get some fresh air on a damp & overcast Sunday afternoon.

Found with the Power of Three, ziggy58 kylie68 and 3 geokids!

Found whilst out and about having a geocaching day with The Power of Three, (Kylie68, Tricky Tracy and myself).
