it’s been many years since i’ve driven on these local roads.
at first i was a little worried there was not going to be parking on such a narrow and fast road.
but sure enough there is a safe place to pull up with good vision to see traffic.
all in good shape. tftc

Found with NiciDanielle. Had looked right at the spot where it ended up being before crossing the road and looking in the wrong place. Eventually doubled back and looked again, can't believe I glanced over the spot to begin with now. TFTC

On the way home with hevwalker & muggle friend.
We'd had a day of caching at Port Noarlunga, though a bit humid.
And it had been a successful day & a nice drive.
Thanks for the cache Jenna5 & Mr Jorrocks

Enjoying catching up with clare007 for a caching day down around the Port Noarlunga area. My semi-muggle friend, Bron came along for the drive. It was a hot & humid morning. We started with the Adventure Lab caches then found regular caches.

This was the last cache in the general area before heading home, well it was kinda on our way home.
The cache was quickly located, dropped a TB for someone to move on.

Put the bke on the back and headed south for some caching today.
Started with a short walk into the Onkaparinga River Recreation Park for 2, including a FTF.
Then parked in Hackham West and headed off on the bike. Found another 11 before a sidestand malfunction led to a flat tyre in Onkaparinga Hills and a 4K walk back to the car during which another 2 were found.
Then on the way home, well after dark, another 3 were found.
Thanks to Jenna5 for putting out this cache for me to find.

Bugger of a spot but nice location.
 
19-Oct-20
Driving home from a friend's house and decided to try and log this cache. A good hiding spot. While this is an easy park and find, be mindful of where you park and watch the road. This is on 80kph zone, and many people drive faster than that.

Nice one to start the morning... gz could be guessed from your car.. tftc

15-Mar-20
A great day out with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) after the nearby CITO! Really trying to fill out the D/T grid, so we targeted these caches! TFTC!
 
15-Mar-20
A nice day geocaching and hiking south of Adelaide. [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I began the day visiting a targeted D/T 5.0/3.5 cache that I needed for my fourth D/T loop, and then we attended the Morphett Vale CITO cleaning up the rail trail bike path park with a fair amount of litter and rubbish around the place. From there, we then headed south to Onkaparinga River National Park and walked down to the gorge / Punchbowl area. A spectacular area, yet some leg burn with the downhill/uphill treks. We then enjoyed a nice Port Noarlunga bakery lunch stop, before making a few last stops returning home.

A quick park and grab as I jogged from the car, and immediately saw a telltale sign of a cache hide. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Jenna5 & "Mr. Jorrocks" for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
 
23-Feb-20
Mr Tardis was heading home from a breakfast event in Morphett Vale. I stopped here to find this cache.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Jenna5 & "Mr. Jorrocks"

PS: Sorry for taking over a year to log my find. I really need to get my logging more organised!

Another day out caching with geomum, Doctor Owl. Apparently it has been about a year since we last went out caching. This is what happens when I live part time in a different state to study at university. The goal for today was to get a me as close to fulfilling the requirement for the A-Z, 0-9 SA challenge - which required finding Q and X and pretty much every number except for "4".
We were heading home and getting some that were nearby on the left side of the road and this one came up. Doctor Owl had previously got it but it was a smiley waiting to be claimed by me. I could see where it was from the car and if I had "slightly" (and by slightly I mean like at least three times the length at least) longer arms, I could probably have got it without getting out of the car. TFTC.
 
25-Sep-19
It is time for Wednesday wandering, for a small group of geo animals.
The plan was for the Blackadders and SA Sewer Rats to meet Doctor Owl down south.

A quick find by the low flying Owl. Tftc
 
25-Sep-19
The usual wednesday Wanderings with a small menagerie of the puzzled puzzlers animals, We missed the company of the Starfish as he had more pressing arrangements to tend to Sad

A quick find by the Owl, all signed and returned.

25-Sep-19
There were 3 aims for today's Puzzled Puzzler day out: christen Owl's new ladder, finish Blackadder's first D/T grid and SA Sewer Rat's second, and a couple of her calendar challenges. All 3 were finished by morning tea time! This was part of the afternoon wanderings and a quick find by the Owl, who was keeping the Rat away from the bees.
 
07-Sep-19
It was decided to head up into the hills for high D and T star + Favourite point hides that i discovered Smile

After the Breakfast Club 3 I headed out where the gps took me to find some caches. After about 25 finds headed home. Found a nice variety of hides but ended up with very wet and cold feet due to all the wet grass and knee high sour sobs.
Almost at the next milestone and streak still alive.
Pulled off the road right next to this one so was a very quick sign and replace TFTC

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did in 2016. I cache with an assortment of cachers and never alone. In 2016 I cached with Moneydork, Ride the GeoWalrus, Locus Cacher, Liz & Bruce and Team Zouk. My log should match up with one of theirs. I enjoy every cache find I have made and do not for one second take for granted the effort going into each one, its just I'm very bad at logging my finds and I'm trying to improve. To improve I have to reduce the quality of my log and just get it over with -- for now. If I can form a good habit again I will return to my once more meaningful logging. Thanks heaps for hiding caches around South Australia that I could find!

The streak continues at 48 days now.
After bowling at Noarlunga we had a look and because it was a warm night Chelle suggested we find more than one. It was not quite as warm as we went up the hill but luckily they were quickies.

As I pulled up to this cache all the FM radio stations when off the air for 10 seconds - the storms must have caused a major power outage somewhere! A quick find and no wombats were seen - much to wet for them here today I think...
