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.Our last cache on this road for today - brought back memories of walking a few kms on it while hiking the Heysen. The feet were burning by this point!

Part of a group of hikers walking the Heysen. Just enough time to find this one

Thanks for the cache, 3LG

Quick find TFTC

Out today targeting a few previous DNF’s, if possible I want to turn some sad blue faces into happy smilies

Also targeting Tree Fishing caches…….I’m currently 43 of 50 for the GC9RQRK SFE Challenge - The Lawrie Keats Challenge

Who knows, might be the odd cache throughout todays journey as well

A quick find, stamp and return here today
TFTC

After a successful morning doing some of the Animal Fact Series we thought we should try to turn this blue face into a smiley . So it must have been cache blindness before tftc

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 #4870 on 28 Dec 2022.
TFTC LíB!

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

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

Sorry not today

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.

Found nothing here today

Sorry but everything is soggy.

TFTC. Having a day out with geokids and crystal1984 in Kuitpo forest.️ no phone service was a little tricky

Found it with annabellewolf11

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.

It was interesting to hear/read about the three earthquakes in such a desolate place. I managed to find this cache quickly, helped by the fact that the cache was rather exposed upon approach! The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook was wet. Thanks 3LG/LiB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

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

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

Found after a quick search. cache and contents are all good. TFTC

Other than not attempting number 12 due to all the DNF this was the last find of this series today. Great series on a lovely day. Now time to navigate back to Victor.
TFTC

As I negotiated a 7pt turn, a car came down the road! What bad luck. Thanks for another hide.

No phone reception but I found this one, signed the log, logging it online after getting home. End of the run south, u-turn and back for the others. 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

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.

TFTC. Found on our 20km walk along the Heysen Trail.

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

Had to widen the search pattern but we found it.

Nice hide tftc

Small search

No luck with this one.

Found out with Beary Organised on her Birthday. Co ords a little off & lying on the ground, replaced where our GPS took us. TFTC TNLNSL

Took longer than usual but found this on the ground when we were about to give up. Replaced it where our GPS was directing us TFTC TNLNSL

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Spent way too much time here with no luck [:9]

Took a bit to find this one, we left then it got the better of us and we went back and found it, sometimes you need to walk away then come back TFTC

Another after work jaunt.

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.

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 22.1 January 22nd today. This is my find #8109 and find #110 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 22.1 January 22nd on 30/4/17.
This is my find #4956 and find #110 today.

Found on a great day bike riding with Wal & Ol. TFTC!

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

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.

Spent a great day caching around Kuitpo on an unseasonably drizzly February day - 21 finds with 8 TB's. Found and signed log.

Nice find on a days caching
Love the countryside

Nice quick find again. TFTC 3LG

TFTC sharpened pencil.

Patterns... quick finds.... yeah... I eat my words. Got it before Apty, though

I remember this quake. I think it's the first big one that happened in Aus after I came over in '85 and I didn't realise ones this size could happen here. (I have felt a few big one back in the Shaky Isles.)
Chelle made the find on this one.

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.

out for the day with sir_spectre doing the otd trail, some harder than others and hoping the rain stays light

i dragged out jacknor to the forest in the rain, we thought so start the jan otd trail, some harder than others but all the caches found where in good condition.

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. Great use of a natural hiding place.

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 6:28:00 PM
Cache # 56 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.

I think this is the first time we've logged an OTD series cache, but I could be wrong there. Normally we give series like this a wide berth, unless they are designed to walked to. Today though, we thought we'd log a couple on our way home.

This cache was a quick find, and are happy to note the contents are dry and in good condition.

thanks 3LG.

Last one for the day, starting to get dark, will have to return another day to get the last of the series. TFTC

returned to get a few more OTD caches I missed on previous visit. All caches in good condition.
Thanks 3lg

Found the cache with Team Waldron on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Another really good hide. Tftc

Out for an afternoon's caching with Trail06

This is one we missed when we did this series back in April 2015.

Almost gave up again today. Found in a place we had both looked.


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. Lucky my brother had already moved from Tennant Creek when these stuck. Would have only improved the hovel the government found for him to live in. Another 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.

Found it.

Glad most of our earthquakes in Aus are remote - must have scared them though.


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

While the elder of the 2 daughters hiking with the Cubs in Kyeema, it was up to the younger Geo daughter and I to go out and collect some caches. We had previously found a few of this series, but wanted to get a few more. We weren't going to have enough time to collect the all, but still a good number today. Only a couple of issues where caches took us a little longer due to tree cover and dodgy Sat lock on the GPSr.

Thanks to the CO for all the work you go to withg your caches and series. They have been great.

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.

Quick find TFTC!!

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

Yay. Have phone signal back. It's been absent since no 11. Very bowing logs for the ones between here and there to follow.

Found this whilst in a GPS black spot ( well for our iPhones at least). Still we found the cache so all is good in the world TFTC

Thanks for the cache!

Another series which has been well done. Thanks 3LG

This was JF's birthday cache. We took the geodogs out for the day. We stopped for lunch at this time. SL. TFTC 3LG

Completed this great series with Andy Colombia and SOSE Officer on a day where it basically rained, rained, rained!! Many were easy ….. some took us quite a while to spot. A lovely kneck of the woods that was surprisingly busy considering the conditions. Thanks3LG for the cache ………………….. and the series!!

This is my first caching day with the company of CPwanderer and his fellow cacher friend SOSEofficer, we got an extremely hard weather conditions: raining, windy and chilled day ! But it wasn't enough for stop us in our goal ! Find the whole series and more !! More

Logging a find as part of the beta tester crew for the OTD January series. A lot of work has gone into putting this series together. Thanks to 3LG and your assistants. A few interesting and meaningful dates in this series.

Found during a visit to Kuitpo. The roads were very quiet here today allowing for a pleasant afternoon finding the caches. Thanks for the series 3LG!

Great drive with Kaptn 11 on a wet Anzac Day. TFTC!

Found with honey joy tftc

Decided to go for this months worth of geocaches today. Most were quickly found but there were a few more difficult ones. All quiet despite the beginning of the school holidays. Interesting history as well. Thanks 3LG.
