Thanks ClareValleyCaching for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10766 on 2/11/2024 at 5:12PMA plan was hatched to ride along the Riesling Trail and collect a few caches. A delightful day in the company of Cheezel and Jolly riding along and signing logs. This is a special place, very enjoyable. We also collected some others that were nearby or along the way.

No. 2 on the Rattler Rail. TFTC.

Algae had to use many local TOTT as the tree had grown around the cache. 20min later cache was in hand. Cool disguise. Fav for watching Algae use rocks and wire to get the cache out and then pat a cow. TFTC found while on a trip to SA doing a couple of rail trails with Algae. I rode my bicycle and Algae rode his electric unicycle. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches for us to find.

Hard to get out. Had to improvise a tool from nearby wire. Not sure that it had been retrieved in a while. TFTC. Out with Shumba7 on a rail trail road trip.

not a good start to the day another dnf Thanks for placing them

Checked and replaced now it will rock

Second time looking for this one and cant put eyes on it.

Stopped off here after a weekend of gravel riding in ClareA quick find, stamp and returnTFTC

Spent a while looking ... no luck today.

I cont find it at all

I had only 2 of these caches in the series left so dropped in for the last 2 of the day and found both in good order

After making my way up to Caroona Creek Comservation Park yesterday and camping the night there my main goal of the day was to make the walk through Tourilie Gorge finding cache with 4.5 years unloved followed by the rest of the day finding caches around the mid north yet to be found before making my way back to Adelaide.

Thanks for the cache

Spending a few days exploring and caching around the Clare Valley. Visiting some towns that I haven’t been before so lots of unfound geocaches up for grabs.

Day two was Spring Conservation Park, Clare and Auburn.

After a big day out caching, I returned to Riverton for a swim and some dinner. After dinner I went for a walk along the Rattler Trail.

Cache was replaced with CO permission.

Thanks for the cache cvc.

No joy here. On to the next….

We visited Riverton to enjoy a delicious lunch at the local pub and grabbed a few caches while we were in the area.

We hunted around at GZ for quite a while but couldn’t turn up the prize. Thanks anyway ClareValleyCaching

So glad we had electric bikes to do this trail.
The JAMS team ( JJ52,Allister w, Mogni, and sir_spectre minus mitchell&hound ) but Tallbikestan was with us instead and we where out for there usually monthly caching adventure. This time it was over the october long weekend instead of the usual day trip. The taget this time was Drop into the Light a long ladder cache on the way to clare and then to clear the Rattler trail, Riesling Trail, Ne Trail saturday on the bikes and then sunday do the Mid North Channel Country bike trail. Monday on the return home was to get Peter's view a 2001 cache. Of course there was many, many other's found on route to the various target for the weekend, somewhere around 260 found by the team. It could have been more but we were not going at a flat out pace, just steady and getting a blow out on the bike 1.6 km's from the end of the Mid North Channel Country bike trail didn't help. I didn't see any snakes this trip but allister did, he saw 5. The caches this trip where written in as JAMS, i forgot the stamps. Also 1 cache was placed by the JAMS team this trip. Out of all the bike tracks i preferred the Rattler /Riesling trail. I like riding through the very rich ( after all the recent rains ) fields of yellow flowers.

Found out with jams group riding electric bikes logged as jams

The JAMS crew went on an October long weekend adventure back to Clare. We brought Tallbikestan along as we were targetting the bike tracks and he is the best rider amongst us. Allister W and sir_spectre we the other main riders, with JJ52 and I the support crew and walkers. A huge weekend of fun and adventure was had by all, until I made SS sick with my cold....oops.
Thanks to all those who have kept not just the bike tracks but all the other caches alive for us to find.
All caches signed as JAMS.
Thanks to ClareValleyCaching from mogni

Returned to this series from starting end. I earlier did some from Auburn. On both times it was done by walking. Slow but good exercise. Thanks ClareValleyCaching.

A fun day caching with JJ52 and Michells&hound finding caches in the area. A lot of churches and cemeteries were visited. I ended up with about 50 finds. TFTC

Today was a big day out of caching with part of the JAMS crew today it was JJ52 Allister w and myself.
We met up at 7.15am and headed off on an adventure to the East of Clare. We targeted cemeteries and Used2B churches.
All up we found around 50 caches each as well as a bonus FTF on an amazing cache at Spring Gully.
It was a fabulous day and we all had a great time. It was interesting to visit some smaller off the beaten track historical towns.
Thanks to all the CO for putting out and maintaining hides for us to find.
Allister made a quick find here in the first spot checked TFTC

A caching day had been organised with Michells&hound and allister w to head north and find caches that all three of us hadn't found. It was a great day for caching and we had a lovely day driving on some out of the way tracks and roads, through some of our quaint little towns visiting lots of Used 2B Churches and historical sites. We even made a smallish detour to grab a FTF in Spring Gully Conservation Park.

It was time for a bit of walking so we started off here to find a couple then go around and work our way back again. A quick find here right where we thought it would be.

Thanks for the cache cvc.

Thanks cvc for the cache. The local, non indigenous animals were interested in our activities. The geopup was very interested in the sheep poo everywhere. Making pie with the find.

Doing a big caravan trip around South Australia in these travel restricted times and doing a little bit of caching on the way.
This afternoon caching with some friends from Adelaide - there are plenty to find in and around Riverton on the Rattler Trail.
We shared this section of the rail trail with a mob of sheep with their two alpaca minders - found this one easily and moved further along the rail trail. TFTC. Left a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin.

Not the pig! Look out for Alpacas!

Lovely day for caching. Tftc.

In the peppers

Headed off this morning to walk the Rattler Trail, 19.5km containing 75 caches. Happily we got them all. The day was nice for this trip with an overcast sky and lower temperatures. Most finds were nice and quick, some took a little longer and other's we had to repair with the CO's permission. Our walk took us a little longer than we thought it would, but we took care not to run into any snakes today. Saw a group of kangaroo's, which ran ahead of us for half a dozen caches.

This cache was a nice quick find. Logbook replaced. tftc

Located by Lead ‘n Lace

Cool

Tricky

Lovely walk to it. TFTC

Surprisingly quick find ... nice walk. Tftc.

Found 10/7/18

Thanks for the series so far.

We have had the Rattler series on our "to do" list since the caches were first published but we have never been in the area for sufficient time to make a start. However we had a couple of days spare after completing the Gone Fishn' series on the Yorke Peninsula. So we decided to stay a couple of nights in Auburn and to make the Rattler our priority. With the likelihood of another hot day, we made an early start.

We broken the trail into a number of sections. Mrs y'stassie walked the first section whilst Mr y'stassie took the car to the start of the second section and started walking from there. When she arrived at the end of the first section (also the start of the second section), she took the car to the start of the third section and began walking from there, leaving the car for Mr y'stassie. In that way we halved the amount of walking.

Accurate coordinates and a logical hide location led to a quick find. We were surprise d to see this container, the first of its type we saw on the Rattler trail. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks cvc for the cache and the series.

On the bike track now to find the series of caches here.

Decided watching the GF was a waste of time so headed off on the bikes with Wal & Ol. TFTC!

After watching 3/4 of the Grand Final, decided some caching was a preferable way to spend the arvo! On the bikes with Pony1966. TFTC

Today Mr T tackled this series on a not so hot day with Roostaman. Enjoying the views and the changing country side, especially the vibrant colours of the canola fields that just went on and on, especially with the green backdrop of other paddocks. This was a highlight of this area making it a picturesque landscape. Most were easy finds at GZ, some a bit of a search, but a great day out.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for our enjoyment.

**# 17836** Found on the SA outback leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A fine Spring day for a trek along the Rattler trail with Tassie Trekkers.
Not many muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Lots of great scenery and healthy crops along the way too.
We finally found this one in the long grass and returned it to a more appropriate place.
Thanks for the cache cvc,
***Roostaman***

Apologies for generic logs. Back to finish walking the Rattler trail, with Darkmoon31, picking up where we left off in May. A very early (6am) departure from home saw us ready to go from No26 at 7am heading out in a very brisk 3 degrees. Making our way down to Riverton we arrived in plenty of time to visit the local Market on today. If you get a chance to do this then try the hot apple juice - Delicious! Could not have asked for a nicer Winters day for caching with spectacular scenery along the way. Thank you for bringing us here.

Second half of the Rattler with Team Shandyk. Going Backwards again cause thats how we rattle and roll. Very late logging this section apologies to all! Apologies also that the logs will be the same all way through!

Decided to hit the rattler trail today on the push bike, so far not to bad only a few that were unsignable, well will keep pushing on.

For the last four years a group of us friends have taken our caravans to a different park not too far from the city.
This year we are in the lovely town of Riverton.
On day two I walked a short length of the old rail trail and found a few of the caches, this was on that I found and signed.
On the way I met a local, walking his dog, who told me how the high school used the land north of the oval as part of their rural studies. Wine is made from the vineyard which in turn is watered by the overflow from the town treatment ponds.
This cache was one that I found.
Thanks.

Staying at Riverton cp for Easter. Nice & close. Tftc

An early morning start to avoid the heat of the day but it's a bit too cool for riding all the way to Rhinnie first, as planned, so we're stopping to collect smilies on the way up. TFTC
