Thanks ClareValleyCaching for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10767 on 2/11/2024 at 5:15PMA 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. This one was the last one for the day. I already had found some of these near Auburn, but came away with 115 for the day. On a 33+ degree day, we welcomed a nice cold beverage at Riverton Pub.

Ez and great find

No. 1 on the Rattler Rail. TFTC.

TFTC. Out with Shumba7 on a rail trail road trip.

TfTC not enough time to do the trail this time but we will be back.

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

Did a trip to Riverton to give the mobility scooter a run to do the southern end of the rattler trail. Time to unload the scooter to do the ones on the rattler trail. TFTC

Hoping to pick up a few of these over the weekend! #1

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 one was Hamley Bridge, Stockport, Tarlee and Riverton. Very warm today so didn’t break any records and needed frequent stops to rehydrate.

After checking in to the Riverton Caravan Park, I set off on my bike to make a start along the Rattler Trail. Only one DNF on the trail today.

After a couple of hours on my bike, the cool water of the Riverton Pool was beckoning me so I called it a day a headed back to Riverton.

Thanks for the cache cvc.

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

Many thanks for the hide 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.

Day fourteen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
Our last day on the Rattler series. We drove down to Riverton and unloaded the deadly treadlies and hit the bike trails riding for the last half of the Rattler series. We then traveled to Tanunda collecting a few caches on the way.

A strong northerly on the exposed sections of trail today, which wasn't too bad as that meant a tail wind on the way back.
Another day of empty trails - how nice.
Found all but two today. One we were muggled out by cows (No.2), and one had a tree fallen (No.15).
Thanks for this great series of caches, and a lovely ride.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19225. Day 14 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. A day of moving on - leaving Clare and heading to Tanunda for a few days. First though we wanted to finish off the Rattler Trail so drove to the oval at Riverton and rode as far as #31. It was a bit of a hard slog into a strong head wind on the open sections but a pretty good ride on the way back in quick time.

The sizing over here causes us a bit of angst - Regulars that are 200ml Sistemas or Eclipse tins and smalls that are a good size. It might be time for a good maintenance run along here as some of the tins were wet and losing their lids etc,

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 cvc

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.
Quick find here right where the hint said 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.

Thanks for the cache cvc.

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.
The gps was jumping all around but widening the search area soon had the cache in hand - watch out for the swooping magpie near the rail trail gate if you are here in Spring. Left a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin. TFTC

Sometimes the hints are hard to believe!

Lovely day for caching. Tftc.

A belated TFTC!
Found with geo-Mum Kayche20 and Geo-dog Bess on the 21-7-18!!!
Catching up on logs!

Decided late to go searching but the kids enjoyed it.

Hunted while staying in nearby riverton caravan park. Found while sheltering from rain. Thanks.

Fun hide

Found!

Mr Felix on his bike today out Geocaching , didnt see another person, so ensuring social distancing, he managed to find your cache.

Coming from Auburn, we found the gate to Rattler 2 & 1 locked.

Rode the rattler trail back to Auburn, collecting caches along the way. All bar 2 were found. Thanks for placing and tftc

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to cvc for placing the cache for us to find.

Couldn’t find it!

This is my first end today, looked in obvious spot but nothing. Merry Christmas and tftc

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. tftc

Having started the Rattler Trail in Auburn last year it was good to finally see the beginning. Tftc.

Got it TFTC

Trekking along the rattler trail with geo- daughter and geo- dog! TFTC.

Found 10/7/17. It was out in the open between two sleepers, so we put it under a rail nearby.

I stayed at the Riverton Caravan Park last night. Without a bike, I continued my walking out and back system I'd started previously. I wish I had more time to finish the series but I had to get down to Adelaide for a flight home. 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. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks cvc for the cache and the series.

Another day, another cache...
Late in the day after work, fun by dark.
But this isn't just any old cache... this is the beginning of a trail.
Next time I may just have the bike, although not going to do them all at once, as they're in my top 300 closest to home these days, and I have a crazy streak to keep up. OCD = obsessive caching disorder! [:o)]
Thanks cvc for placing the cache and for bringing me here for another fun smiley, with many more to go up from here

Found it !

Excellent

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.

**# 17837** 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.
Thanks for the cache cvc,

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!
Thanks cvc for a great trail! Totally enjoyed the walk on both outings. Some of the hides were extra special and if i had made a note of which ones were which I'd have had some faves in there for sure!!

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.
