WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 9 - Whyalla to Cleve via Cowell. I have reached my first area with new counties to be tackled, but it was mostly a roadside day of caching with a side trip into Cowell and an afternoon on Cleve where I am spending the night at the show grounds. The silo art in Cowell was amazing and the trip out to the jetty for one of the Labs was very bouncy on the scooter. I even managed to large metalwork caches without any dramas. As ever, a bit of history thrown in during the day and a few random spots to keep it all interesting. One of serval roadside caches done today without any problems.Thanks for the cache McKee Clan46581.20 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2007 Compass Rose Bronze A#73**Albida**

TFTC McKee Clan your cache Let's Cleve that we found today. Camped in Cowell. Nice fishing today, Strong Wind Warning issued. After a nice sleep in we ventured out to Cleve. A new LGA for us. The day started overcast and a couple of hours later the occasional spot of rain turned into a continuous drizzle. Called it a day but we had collected 19 caches and the Adventure Lab.Find Count: 17616

Ocw the Bebes as we stay in Celeve for a few days. We decided to head out to the weir on our bike today and pick up a few caches on our way. Tftc

Nice one

Whyalla - Cowell - Cleve
We did a few caches along the road today, where we found it suitable to pull over with a caravan on.
Drove around Cowell looking at the highlights of the town
Have now settled into the amazing camping area at Cleve.
Washing done, we cached around the town area & one AL completed.
Some great cahes found in some interesting areas.
Thankyou to the CO's for placing these caches.

Quick find on our drive past. TFTC

Quick find to start our day after camping the night at the nearby weir! We are on our way to Perth from Melbourne grabbing as many caches we can. TFTC!

Quick drive by on way back to Cleve. TFTC

Sneaky - nearly walked away. Needs maintenance but dry.TFTC

Took off to the North West a bit with Purrfect Di to avoid the rains back home.
Turned out this worked quite well as we only had a couple of showers for the whole weekend and saw some great scenery and found the odd cache or two!

We came, we cleaved a significant area of the local geocaching map!

Many thanks to McKee Clan for placing and maintaining this cache on our SA geo-map

Travelling around - searching, spotting and signing cache logs using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just a guyess or plain old dumb luck
Plenty of that luck stuff actually !!!

*All the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course.*

Beware! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and sharp rocks in your tyres
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for germs and bugs !!! . [xx(]

Make Travel Bugs the Only bugs you share and pass on
Keep your distance - cache the countryside


Really fantastic of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Thanks so much for reading all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where I could do it and go back to normal logs again !

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
A quick detour from the trail while doing the Yeldinkie parkrun. Completing #43 of the 43 parkruns in South Australia for the title of Statesman!
Thanks McLee Clan

Finished work locally and it wasn't raining so thought I'd find a quick cache before getting stuck into some study. Here for another fortnight or so and taking time to do a cache or so each day or so. The GPS ran around in circles and gave me a wrong area for a moment so used some Geosense and took less than a few minutes to find this cache after thinking laterally! After leaving town I parked 130 mtr past GZ cos lots of traffic nearby.. TYFTC SL TNLN

We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
Out for a morning run while camping at the wier. It was very windy this morning and we had a lot of rain overnight. My GPS intially had me on the wrong side of the road. Then it settled and I went to the correct location.

This was find number 1 for the day.

Another cache found during our 2022 South Australia adventure using Geocaching as our guide.

Most caches were found without issue and where necessary damaged containers and wet logs were replace.

Thanks McKee Clan, we had a great time today.

Thanks for the cache.
Took clip, left bouncy ball.

Very quick easy find tftc

A nice quick grab today. TFTC

Quick find... in between cars! Cache container split one side but still closes and contents dry. TFTC

Didn’t look at the GPS and checked the wrong side of the road first. Doh. But found in the fight spot quickly once I got there.

Thanks for the cache McKee Clan.

Find #5.

Out for some more caching fun around Cleve this morning along with ilook4geo. We had a good run and enjoyed the country roads as well as the town hides. This was an easy cache to find and all was done to keep the paperwork in order. Thank you to McKee Clan for placing this cache which we were happy to find and be able to claim the smiley.

Went out hunting for more caching treasure today with goingplaces2 while staying in Cleve. Had a good day and enjoyed most of the finds. Name was added to each log and all was replaced as found. TFTC.

TFTC. Another Monday adventure starts!
Happy caching and safe travels!

Day 5 of our Eyre Peninsula caravan odyssey with the geo-pup, Cowell to Cleve.

Grabbed on the way back to our campsite at Yeldulknie Weir.

Found it TFTC. Cache lid just starting to crack, but still ok

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

Today leaving Whyalla, we headed down the Lincoln Highway, passing through Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay, Port Neill, and Tumby Bay. Just prior to lunch, we also completed the *Cleve Cleaver* geoart trail. A rather long day of geocaching numbers, but the inland and coastal towns were enjoyable to visit, along with the various picturesque beaches along the way.

Another quick find off the main road near Cleve. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks McKee Clan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Stopped by this one on the road, a quick find was made cache is all good

Today davidwazza and I made our way from Whyalla to Port Lincoln as part of a weekend away to clean up as much as we could. Today was filled with some good and bad times, plus a few car issues along the way but all in all a great day out and 105 caches found in total.
Thanks for the cache

A planned day trip in the Cleve area concentrating on the cleaver geo art, then some of the others in the area while we still had daylight before heading back to our accomadation, this was one of the extras we stopped to collect, cache was soon spotted and in good condition

Day 306 ( Tuesday 30th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Whyalla today. A total of 15 for the day and 5950 for the trip. TFTC

Easy peasy. TFTC

Found while participating in the 2019 BikeSA Annual Tour. I made this search much harder than it needed to be. Never over think a cache!!

Thanks for the cache McKee Clan.

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks McKee Clan for the cache.

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

We had two cachless days at Cape Hardy, so back with avengness.....Stopped on a bit of a dangerous spot of road for a cache but we found it quickly in an obvious spot. Thanks McKee Clan

Nice find with kids

Found during a tour of the Gawler Ranges and Eyre Peninsula for the week, on a route that saw us traveling to Kimba, Streaky Bay, Tumby Bay, Cleve and Whyalla and camping out near Secret Rocks, Kolay Hut (Gawler Ranges), Pildappa Rock, Port Kenny and Yeldulknie Weir (Cleve), all the while finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache McKee Clan!

Gauged by a huntsman ( just joking)
Signed and replaced

TFTC SL. A great walking and cycling track

After caching in Tumby Bay and Arno Bay today in the freezing cold, we headed back to Cleve and made a quick find here. Thanks McKee Clan.

Day 2. heading in the direction of Port Lincoln for some 4 x 4 caches in the national parks and the kayak caches down there. Also targeting letterbox and earth caches on route plus the odd multi. Stopped for the trads if they where bigger than a micro in size along this road. quick find.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Have been working in the area and with work finished it is time to head home and grab a cache or two along the way. This was the first. A quick find, (BFE style) sign the log and replace. On the way.
Gratias pro cache McKee Clan

Thanks for the great cache we are from wa lovely area

Travelling Australia since March 2014 it has been a while since in SA but enjoying this visit greatly.

Currently staying in Cleve today we headed out to explore the local area using Geocaching as a guide.

Wherever we found a full or soggy logsheet we replaced it with a new one.

TFTC McKee Clan

Detoured from our caching to head out to the weir and check out what the camping was like there compared to that at the showground. The weir won hands down.
Grabbed this one on our way back in to town to pick up where we left off.
Wouldn't mind a dollar for every cache we've found in this hiding place!!!
Thanks.

Out caching around Cleve today with Moneydork. A quick easy find. TFTC

Day 4 of BarnZy and Cravo’s trip from Perth to Adelaide.

Today we travelled from Elliston on the Eyre Peninsula to Whyalla.

We kicked off relatively early, just before sun up and in some intense fog before starting our journey to Whyalla.

We travelled along the Birdseye Highway for the most part of the day, which was a fitting name as we needed an eagle eye to find some of the caches today.

Caching along the highway was good with a great variety of cache containers found, before heading into Lock, which was a very quaint small town, albeit we had little success finding the caches in town.

We moved along the he Cleve Cleaver series which was a great bunch of relatively quick finds, taking just under 2 minutes per cache as we started to get the rhythm of the caches along these parts. Great small power trail which kept us interested with some nice hiding spots.

Continuing along the highway we caches through Cleve, grabbing a few of the nifty letterbox hybrid hides which were most fun, were trying to collect more letterboxes which makes these caches really valuable.

After leaving Cleve we continued along the highway to Cowell, where we enjoyed a nice hot beef roll from the bakery for lunch before continuing up the Lincoln Highway towards Whyalla.

We arrived in Whyalla a little earlier than planned which was good as we had planned to complete the August series trail by torchlight. Before we completed the August series we eyed off a D5 cache Honeymoon Hilton which was an absolutely brilliant cache at a well staged ground zero and a brilliant hide, thankfully we didn’t have to resort to phoning the CO.

We then turned our attention to the August series and loved the quick finds of well setup containers. I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

We then cached around town and managed to pickup the 5/5 Schoolies Challenge, which we had managed to qualify quite some time ago.

We finished up with a great dinner at the camp kitchen at the caravan park we’re staying at.

Great day out and can’t wait to tackle the other Whyalla power trail tomorow.

Day 4 of the Perth to Adelaide trip where we started in Elliston and ended in Whyalla.

Today was about finding as many caches as possible and starting / warming up to the larger power trails that bought is over here.
We completed the cleve clever series with a find every 2 minutes, and the August series with around 2 finds a minute.

The day started with a slight sleep in as the travell today was considerably less all up after the 4th day 2900km travelled.

During the morning we would of done most of it through thick fog yet again for the rest half hour despite a later start to

Anyway we made more tracks to Cleve, Cowell and many more in between.

The day also included B12 getting his 11000th cache on cache “August 11” and a total find tally of 112 caches.

McKee Clan I found your cache Let's Cleve thanks for placing this hide for myself and others to find.

Dunsborough is where it’s all at this year check it out at GC7GXQA October 13th + 14th. Hope to see you all there at WA Goes Big 2018.

Hi there McKee Clan.

We found your cache **"Let's Cleve"** at 11:43:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 13901.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the local area today. We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Todays plan was an attempt to "clean out" Clever before heading back to camp at Cowell.

###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.###

We ended up finding 20 & DNFing 0 caches today.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
**Dropped Trackable:** "MEG Brainstrust Elephant".


Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found whilst on a fabulous Easter long weekend caching trip with CPwanderer travelling from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula.

Today has been filled with much of the same as yesterday - fun, laughter and lots of crazy caching adventures [^] ....as well as flies (that were very friendly and seemed to like riding in the air conditioned car with us), HUGE and hungry ants (ouch!), a large nest of spiky caterpillars, cute little kangaroos and even having a close call with a DEATH ADDER SNAKE - keep in mind I was with CP!!

Thanks for the cache McKee Clan

Off on a caching adventure with GoodLook on the Easter long weekend!! We had perfect weather and, for the route we were taking, surprisingly little traffic! Our target was the Cleve Cowell area althouth we started way before this. Our biggest challenge was the lack of anything open, apart from roadhouses, on the Friday and Saturday!!
Easy find .... all in good condition!!

Quick easy find on our way to Adelaide tftc
