We are staying in our motorhome near Strathalbyn and needed to find a few more caches for the Solstice souvenir. So planned a little route from Strath to Ashbourne to give the new Jimny a work out.
All caches were easily found and we enjoyed the hunt.
Cool old building thanks for making us stop here. TFTC Hurtle

A lil tweak of the 8.5 yr old co-ords...

Full time nomads exploring SA, currently staying in Strathalbyn. Up at 5am for the ANZAC dawn service then off geocaching. On return to the caravan park (footy oval) another ANZAC service was under way before the A grade match.

It was lovely driving through towns and past houses that had put out tributes as we drove around.

LEST WE FORGET, they served to give us our freedom.

Today, the objective was to group assault the new *Tinjella Trail* deck of cards power trail with Brad&Janet, Freddo, and gridge98 via mountain bikes. Well, two of our group were fortunate to have e-bikes. The Tinjella Trail took us just over three hours to complete, and then we re-fuelled ourselves at Meadow Bakery. I continued to geocache around the area targeting some oldie caches, a few prior DNFs, and mountain biking the *Are you kidding me?* series. I soon became tired and the sun was setting, so called it a day. A really nice winter day to be riding around.

So many questions to ask here, yet so few answers. At least I know why someone placed a *Lost Heritage* cache here. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Huurtle/Hurtle for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
