Animal facts = Earwigs love this cache container. Luckily they were all writhing around at the bottom. CheersWell the day is finally here and I leap-t out of bed good and early, same as the last few days, before 0430! Had a plan to catch up on some NZ-Time work then head into and back from the City before it got busy. Only targets were the two Webcams, though I was close enough to a Virtual to grab that find too. My aims for the day, with pretty much a full choice of all I need to add 29 Feb to my profile badges, and other stats, is to go slow and steady and get all I seek. Have been doing a few recces last few days so know where I need to go, and hope to get to the MEGA around lunch-time for an hour or so. Hoping work isn't too onerous today, but you never know.

Spent the morning and early afternoon cycling around the area - a beautiful day for a ride and the headwinds weren't too bad. Found 16 caches and DNFed on 4. Skipped the ones with a sequence of recent DNFs which was lazy but expedient.

Wow, I made this one hard. Looked one side of the fence including pretty much straight at the spot. Then cycled to the other side because I had persuaded myself that it was there. As soon as I got there I realised I was wrong and went back. Had it within seconds. Why didnt I look there better the first time!

Looks like a secure place to leave a TB, and I have. TFTC.

Following work, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I planned on heading north towards Outer Harbor and Osborne to do a few caches around the wetlands. We had spied the Excelsior shipwreck from previous visits around here, and so we thought it would be a nice evening to follow some of the paths. Truthfully, I thought there would be a few wrecks to see, not just that one, but it was still a pleasant evening. We managed to check out Falie Reserve just around the corner, before heading back home completing a few* Used 2B a Church* caches needing various cache types for today.

We initially went inside the scrub thinking it was on the other side of the fence. When we approached from that way, we still had 10-15 m to go. Drats. So it was a run back to the close / correct side of the fence, where the cache was quickly found. The TB was taken. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG aka. [@LíB](http://coord.info/PR8KEM6) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After another crappy week at work it was great to knock off at 1pm for the weekend. Went out for lunch with the husband and hound and enjoyed a beer at Sweet Amber and then burger and beer at Big Shed. We then parted ways and I headed off for some caching.
It was a perfect afternoon for caching and I had a really enjoyable time exploring the Port and Outer Harbour. Did some nice walks and saw some cool landscapes, buildings and scenery.
Interesting that this dirt road leads to a picnic area in this industrial naval area will have to come back with Rex and Sail for a picnic when we come to do the rest of the caches here. Nice hiding spot for this one. TFTC LíB

Rare leave pass on a weekend to go caching and so I arranged to meet Anymules at a morning event and do just that. Razz We considered a long walk in a park but the weather didn't appear to be clearing so in the end decided to hit the Port and clear out a few there. Cool

I wonder how much longer this little track will be accessable. Surprised A quick find at GZ in the obvious spot. Smile

A quick detour on the way home, cache is all good.

After caching a little bit in the morning, a group plan was to do some kayaking tomorrow so I was lucky enough to borrow a kayak from Brad&Janet. Plans soon changed and with the kayak in hand I thought I’d use it to it’s full potential whilst I had it. So the afternoon plan changed to collecting 2 caches off outer harbour followed by sole caches in the area. Then in the evening attempting Cavan of fear with David Wazza.
All the caches were easily found and are in good condition.
Thanks to the COs for their placement

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a well hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 3LG for the cache in a great series.

I ventured down this road to see if there was a good place to launch a kayak....and to grab this cache. Quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

Once again we found ourselves on the wrong side of the fence, once we worked out how to get there it was a quick easy find.
Dropped off a couple of trackables that we had been carrying around for way too long.

After what can only be described a very, very ordinary week at work, what better to take the Famous IV's mind off things for a while than a spot of geocaching and a cleansing ale at the Largs Pier. In Just over two hours 19 caches were found hence the generic log. Thanks to all for their hides.

There is evidence of a washout blocking the path from the North here but it was no challenge for me having dealt with this kind of thing many many times in my past so it was an easy obstacle to overcome to my next find which as this one Smile The Sand Tiger Shark's log was signed at 15:11 on Sat. 28 Oct 2017. The cache and contents are all good and dry [^] TFTC 3LG Smile

Day Nineteen of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are still at Semaphore in Adelaide. We dragged out the deadly treadlies and rode to Mutton Cove for a few caches in the morning, then onto Fort Glanville for their very entertaining open day.
A sand tiger is a grey nurse? There you go, learn something new every day.
They have great teeth! I reckon Orthodontists dream of such animals! Smile
A bit of a trick spot to get to today as they have sealed off the road. But the tracks through the Cove will still get you there.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11910. Day 19 of our SA holiday. Another magnificent sunny day here in Adelaide so we hopped back on the bikes and rode up to Mutton Cove to try to catch some caches before riding south to Fort Glanville for their open day in the afternoon. Great fun. It is so good staying in Semaphore and seeing that sparkling ocean.

The last one in the Mutton Cove area and it took a bit of negotiation to get there, what with the road now being closed off.

Thanks 3LG
