Out with my friends Aleks today! Looking for caches in the Kuitpo Forrest area. Thanks for the cache!

Another perfect morning to explore Kuitpo today with Hill2Sea and find some caches. We had a lovely day - only marred when I lost my sunnies near a cache.We are hoping to complete this series today after dabbling in it a few weeks ago.Didn't recall that the first freight train wasn't too long ago - surprising.

Wedgie lol. Quick find TFTC

Found! Prickles be damned! With kayche23. Tftc

Happy Jan 15 on Jan 19th! TFTC with Clive Staples

Found on a bash around Kuitpo forest on the MTB, grabbing the odd cache on the way as well. A quick find and all good here.

Find #4864 on 28 Dec 2022.
TFTC LíB!

Our first trackable find! Nice hide, TFTC.

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. Another OTD series, in a fantastic forrest area. Thanks LiB.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Found on a lovely forest walk with geokid.
TFTC.

This was a good one

Found.Some quick finds and some needed a little more time ,another great trail by 3LG.TFTC

We are enjoying find a few caches on our way to do a walk in the Kuitpo forest. Hopefully will get some numbers up for the Labyrinth souvenir.
An easy find and good parking.
Thanks 3LG
Don't think we saw the TB in the cache??

TFTC

Another find with Cachehunter after hiking in Kuitpo. Cache was in good condition and we dropped off a TB to start travelling. TFTC

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the zonked out Geodog. Nice easy find. Dropped a TB. TFTC

We definitely have cache blindness

We went out on a caching run today with ilook4geo and found a selection of traditional and multi caches, as well as some that were suitable for the month of January. That particular run has not been completed yet, as we have kept some for another time. Most of the caches were easy to find, but some were a bit more challenging which made things interesting.
Many thanks go to LiB for this cache placement.

Enjoyed the caching fun today. Came along with goingplaces2 and had a successful time with lots more smileys to add to the map. TFTC.

Samuel and Sarah

Doing a mixture a hiking and driving for the day picking up caches. Thanks

Another day caching while staying at Yundi tftc

Camping at Mt Compass for Easter we headed out with the bike onboard to tackle some caches and explore the region using Geocaching as our tour guide.

Today, I headed solo out for a combination of driveby and hiking geocaching, in an attempt to clear some of the Kuitpo area geocaches. It was a splendid day to be outside with a blue sky, sunshine, and freshness, so one didn't get too hot. Christmas Rush Mine was a great area to walk around, and an unexpected sight. Some more walks around Jupiter Creek Forest, before taking a detour past a few Mount Bold Reservoir viewing spots. An enjoyable bakery lunch was had at Meadows, and then I headed south through Prospect Hill, and partially completed a section of the January OTD series before it started going dark. A twisted ankle had me slow down in the late afternoon, but otherwise a nice day out.

This OTD series had been my target today, but after an around about sorta way to arrive, it turned out to be a secondary thought after all. I was delighted to find that all of these geocaches that I had found were in excellent condition; evidence that the CO had been here recently perhaps. I mostly had these back roads to myself, and continued to cache these until the sun started to set, leaving the last remaining seven for another day. I had twisted my ankle on an earlier geocache just before attempting these, which had probably doubled my time with walking back/forth. My geocaching partner did think I was quite stupid in continuing to stay out with my injury, whoopsie.

I managed to find this cache reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG/LiB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found it. Nice cold day in June. Cache and contents are all good. Tftc

While staying in the beautiful Mount Compass Caravan Park we opted to try for the OTD January series plus any others nearby. We found 32 and had 3 DNF’s.

We were delighted at the condition and maintenance that has obviously gone in to the caches and thank the CO’s very much for that.

Many thanks 3LG

Good find

Came to complete the rest of the OTD January series this morning, some took a little bit of searching others were quick finds all the ones found are in good condition. Left the trail with 5 DNFs will be back to finish them off again.

Got up early this morning and headed south to collect a few caches before an event in mount barker around lunch time. A good morning out with 65 finds in total.

TFTC

Tftc

This section of the series got a bit challenging with dodgy phone reception but I still managed to find them all that I attempted. Thanks for the series 3LG.
TFTC

Thanks for creating another month of caches.

No phone reception but I found this one, signed the log, logging it online after getting home. Thanks 3LG

Tftc

Nice find while in the area with tmann421.
Really enjoying travelling around and discovering more about these areas.
This series was a bit more of a challenge as when we started it was extremely dark
Thanks for all the effort put into these placements

LONELY CACHE

Exploring the area going from cache to cache with woolwood9.
We really enjoyed finding the good containers and visiting the nice locations.
*Another find for us here! SL TFTC*

We love the OTD series, this one was fairly tough as we started it at nearly 9-30pm and it was quite cold and windy in places.

Some caches hadn't been found for a long time and we had trouble finding some so we ended up with 3 DNF's this January trail.

*Really unexpected to find several lonely caches.*

Needed to get a few caches before I go home so came out here for a drive

Found it. Glad this road is not busy also, had one vehicle pass but not a lot of room to pull o the road.

Quick find. Tftc

Good spot

Quick and easy find.
Nice back road with a few treasures.
TFTC!

Found this with CherryRose on our day out caching for my birthday . TFTC TNLNSL

Found this with Beary Organised on her Birthday. TFTC TNLNSL

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Spent a couple of days at Kuitpo with the 4WD club and got in some caching as well. TFTC.

So returned with a bit of daylight left; jumping GPS didn't help but eventually I was at least to narrow down the tree. After a good 10mins poking in knot holes and scraping back bark and bracken I went to leave ... and spotted it right away! You beauty! I'm not surprised I didn't spot it with a crappy torch in the dark, but I'm a bit hurt I walked straight past it in the day! TFTC

Attempted by climbing over the bracken with a flat torch and a jumping gps just as dark set in. Will come back in the light!

Beautiful day for geocaching in the bush so decided to have a crack at January, our first foray into the OTD's. Most caches popped up quickly but a a couple had me going. Thanks for the caches 3LG.

Favourite point for my birthday here.

This was to be our final full day in SA before heading back to Perth tomorrow afternoon . It has been a fantastic caching trip with old mate KrabiBoy and we have been flying through as many caches as we can manage . We targeted Willunga today and then cached our way northeast towards another OTD series [^]. Another rippa day!

I had been eyeing off an interstate trip for some time now and made plans to head to SA to power through the geoart trails over here . I roped in my geo buddy Krabiboy to join me and we set about solving [?] caches and highlighting Jasmer caches that aren't available over in WA. Our adventure took us from the CBD over to the Yorke Peninsula and then back across to the Murray Bridge area . We were relentless in chasing down the finds and picked up as many as we could in the week that we had available. Due to the park and grab nature of our visit, the log books which weren't able to accommodate the ink stamp we had made were signed with the initials 'jk'! Fave points will be awarded for those caches which are considered awesome

A massive thanks here to 3LG for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache OTD 15.1 January 15th today. This is my find #8102 and find #103 today. I was able to get my name in the log book here and we replaced the cache as we found it. Thanks once again 3LG for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

jinta29 and I are in town this week after many months of planning for a week to remember. We are heading to the Yorke Peninsula, Murray Bridge and as many places in between as we can get to. This was one we found along the way.

TFTC 3LG.

3LG, I found your cache OTD 15.1 January 15th on 30/4/17.
This is my find #4949 and find #103 today.

Two penguins and two horses went bike riding... found with Pony1966 on a fab day for a bike ride. TFTC

Found on a great day out bike riding OTD with Wal & Ol

We had a lovely day with Shonkylogic out on the trails in the southern wine area. This was one of the caches that we targetted and were able to find. Thanks to 3LG for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

After completing the October series Liz and Bruce and I headed up here to find most of January. This was slightly more difficult because the coordinates were less accurate due to the tree cover. They took a while to find but looking at the geotrail rather than the GPS often helped. Some of the coordinates were showing 9m from GZ. If you're having trouble broaden your search and look for the trail. Lovely part of South Australia. Thanks 3LG.

A smiley for us today

Getting through the list now. Half way there. TFTC 3LG

Now that's a cool little hidey-hole

Nearly needed The Stick of Smiting By Poke again [8)]

Lots of Little Ravens (Crows) cawing around us in the forest [^]

What an amazing feat. Putting a railway through the middle of Australia is an engineering marvel.
A trip on the Ghan is on my bucket list. Expensive but worth a once in a lifetime experience.
Chelle made the find on this one.

5:57 pm - Find #2216

Found by The Boofs TFTC .

Parked the car at Jan16th cache - the geobride took the geopooch for a stroll in the forest next to the road while I grabbed the caches along here - signed log

We found this one after a bit of searching further afield from the obvious GZ (according to garmin) & found it on the floor in the open some distance away.... SL & replaced as best we could it what seemed to be the correct spot. TFTC

**Out and about cleaning up some caches whilst house sitting in Mount Compass**...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment 3LG... Another power trail down.

My sister came over from New Zealand to attend a rock concert with me and had a couple of free days before her return flight.
Why not geocache! So we dialed in this OTD series and did it.
We had a lovely time exploring the forest roads. TFTC.

Such a beautiful autumn day to spend some time in the Kuitpo area and to enjoy another of the OTD series. It's always interesting to read the information and we appreciate your effort to vary the hides. All the caches were found in good condition, although we did have trouble with sat lock in a few spots. A great spot for the cache.

Thanks for the cache and the series!

Out to do some caching in the area with my geodaughter. We started this series today at 12pm. We didn't have any intention of doing all 31 days but by 5pm with a lunch break in Mt Compass in the mix we had completed the series. We had a great day working together to find them all. It is obvious why this series won the best series award. TFTCs

After dealing with a number of routine matters this morning, we had a few hours this afternoon to cache. We chose the OTD January series for our focus. We managed to find all caches in the series, most quite quickly but some took a couple of minutes of hunting. There were a variety of hides. In all instances, the caches and contents were in good condition. Thanks 3LG for this cache and the January series.

Time 5:58:00 PM
Cache # 44 of 60 for this Sunday down south.

The Parrot was on a roll to try and get closer to the 10, 000 mark as this last 500 seems to be taking forever.

I had a great day with Mrs Parrot heading to kuitpo and checking some trails that have been in GSAK for far to log,

I worked on Animal Facts, Are you kidding me and the OTD Jan series.

Great hide, lots of spider webs holding this one in place. TFTC

A very hot day up this way today, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to do another OTD month, and lucky for me no DNFs on this one, although a few were a bit tough to spot.

TFTC 3LG, much appreciated.

Visited a cousin in Normanville that I haven't seen for nearly 20 years the drive home was a perfect excuse to cache in an area I've never been to before. Stupidly however I didn't load all of January's caches and was missing 5 the rest were found today, not the easiest of series most not drive bys (good!) Thanks 3LG you have zillions of great caches!! Sorry for generic log

Mogni was in town for one of her flying visits. She had allocated today to catch up and do some caching. So far she hadn't done a OTD series so that would be the order of the day and if time some Cats and Dogs. And of course any other that we were just passing. All up 91 finds and only 3 DNFs.[^]
This was the series selected. Cache blindness now completely cured made this a quick find. Thanks 3LG for placing this cache and series

This was my first attempt at any of this series.... out with brisal5 getting my numbers up for the year Thanks for the series.

I think Betertongs (sp?) lives here, be careful at night.

Matty would love to go on the Ghan, but sadly it seems way too expensive for a poor cat

So this started as a late night Halloween run, but ended up mostly past midnight.
Only ten months since January - better late than never
Despite having Chloe the geopup come along for the ride,
the only things I managed to scare were a few kangaroos, two foxes and some bunnies.
All finds made by torch and moonlight. No ghouls were disturbed at all.
TNLN TFTC 3LG

we though we would mix this up a little. We turned this in to what we like to call "speed Caching".
Rules: drive to location. jump out of car and find cache in less than 45 seconds.....
We won some, we lost some but it made for a fun day.
tftc

I thought I'd do this January series in September - much more pleasant weather and wildflowers are out!
TFTC 3LG

Thanks

Thanks for the cache 3LG

Out for a day of caching and a picnic lunch with ROMA123 and Madham02 on this beautiful sunny day. It was decided that we would have a go at the OTD series and we started at 1.1 - where else would you start. [?] We had a successful day finding all but one that we think is missing plus a few others along the way. [^] Our picnic was great, a well deserved feast to break the day up.
Thanks for the cache and the series 3LG.

Easy find, TFTC

Very wet underfoot but not enough to stop geocaching for the day. TFTC

Day Mount Pleasant to McLaren Vale. Staying at the caravan Park
The weather once again turned rainy as we headed out into the forest to find January caches.
We missed 2 but that could have been as we rushd because of the weather.
Thanks for placing this cache 3LG

No 15 found in the GPS and phone signal darkness.

Found thus lying on the ground in plain sight, re-hid on the obvious spot TFTC

What an amazing place it is out here, 1st time visiting the kuipto forest and will be back again. Just from the look of the cache and concealment I could tell a lot of work has gone into this trail, let the wet bumpy drive begin, gosh ppl treat this road as a racetrack.

Thanks 3lg for all the effort and bringing me to another spectacular area
