After the Somerton Park event I took the train down to Seaford where AussieSPARKIE and I spent some time getting caches down Aldinga way.

A quick find while passing through.

I heard something about a badge level thingy for writing longer logs... so feel to ignore from this point onwards.

Thanks for going to the effort to prepare, hide and submit this geocache for me to find, another smiley for my geomap.

The usual Wednesday wander of the Befuddled consisting of just the Adders and Astro. with the Starfish injuring his back and the Rat unable to join us meant that there was only the two of us available.

The target area for the day was Aldinga and surrounds. An area that had been planned previously but did not eventuate in success with many diversions seeking other hides.

As always, all caches were visited and signed by all members of the group or each member had a part to play in retrieving the prize.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.




Thank you for the cache %CacheName Ziggy58, found 18/05/2022

Cache #2333. Third cache found today.
Today, I and J plus the little one decided to visit Second Valley. We tried some caches including Traditional Cache, Unknown Cache, Earthcache, and Letterbox Hybrid.
We stopped in Seaford for an early lunch, and this cache was on the way to Second Valley.
Parked not far away, and walked to GZ. Quick and easy find. Container was covered by spider webs.
Signed the log, and hid it back.
Found some horses and ponies very close to the cache.
Thanks for the cache, Ziggy58.

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.

Driving along beach side suburbs today, we called into this park for a cache

Out geocaching with White Elf between today’s work shifts.

Found the throwdown. I was not altogether convinced the cache was actually missing when I was here a few months ago, as I logged... so it will be interesting to see if there are now two caches in this location.
