This took us for ever!

Tftc lovely drive through here

Great story - hard to imagine he held out so long!

I think I missed these when I did this series way back in the day. Nice to get them ticked off now. TFTC LiB

Found while touring around Kuitpo forest and it’s surrounds. This cache is one that was found today. A quick find and all good here.

Find #4876 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.

We had by passed a couple of the caches on the way towards Kuitpo because the parking was precarious. On the way out we found a nice pull off half way between the 2 we had missed and walked to each.
We looked for quite a while in the leaf litter for this one, then RoadieR suddenly saw it plain as day just as we were about to give up.
Thanks 3LG

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.

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

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.

TFTC. Having a day out with geokids and crystal1984 in Kuitpo forest.️
Searched twice for this one

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.

This 24/01 OTD story I had heard of before, and quite remarkable. I did always used to think how word got around when the tides of the wars turned, prior to all the official/modern communications we have today. I managed to find this cache quite quickly, which was surprising given the number of previous DNFs. I think I just got lucky with this one. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG/LiB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Checked and cache is still here waiting to be found

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.

This was the first of our DNF’s after a longish search but so many possible hiding spots.

Many thanks 3LG

Easy

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

One of those caches-frustrated by it s while a go-came back with a clear head and fresh eyes. Could not believe I missed it last time. TFTC

Great one tftc

Not many left to find in this series. 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

With anvic tftc

Found with KLCed.. 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. Quick drive bye after work

Enjoyed saying hello to the cows here too!

Found

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

A little search..good find

Might have taken a little search but we found it. TFTC

Clearing some cases down South. Thanks 3LG for the cache.

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

Quick easy find with Beary Organised on her Birthday. Not sure it is in the Correct spot but easy to find. I used to travel this road to School at Mt Compass for 10 years. 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.

Another late afternoon DNF on this series for me: a solid 15 min search, but the obvious niches and stumps yielded no results (and neither did the un-obvious ones). Darkness was coming and I still needed my daily cache so I moved on.

Kids couldn't find this one, dad had to help, finally found it! TFTC

Nibbling away at this series. A couple here. A couple there.

Picked this one up on a little spur off the main route.

Thanks for the cache, 3LG

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 24.1 January 24th today. This is my find #8111 and find #112 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 24.1 January 24th on 30/4/17.
This is my find #4958 and find #112 today.

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

On a drive with Pony1966 after a bike ride around Kuitpo. 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. Spent about 5 minutes looking for this one, but it was staring at us - should have had it a lot quicker - doh! Signed log.

A fun days caching while doing a maintenance run with 3LG

OMG I dropped it down the hole [xx(]

Actually no, I meant to type OMG I remembered to replace the pencil before replacing the cache

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 6:18:00 PM
Cache # 52 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.

Stopped to say hi to the cows and calves. TFTC

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

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.

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. Back to getting the caches as the owner intended we continued down towards the end. Another one found and only a week till February! 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.

It pays to keep in touch!

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.

tftc what a lovely part of the country, have never been out here before. Couple friendly locals (cows) talked to us here too

Nice to have some easy drive-bys after a warm weekend of hiking and camping nearby

TFTC

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

Gave up after looking for ages. Gave up. Sat in car and took a last look, and there it was. I was looking right at it!

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.

We had just completed Jan 23 and we were coming down to this cache when there was 2 other cars pulling up on the other side of the road. Looking around, there is no other reason to stop here, so they must be other cachers.

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.
As we were pulling up on one side of the road another car also pulled up on the other side...had to be cachers and it was good to meet 2 of the_xtrailers. Stopped and had a bit of a chat while the log was being signed and we all continued on.
Thanks for the cache and the series 3LG.

Quick find TFTC!!

Easy find again, 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

On the 24th day, we were still stranded without adequate signal, and only roughly guessing where things were located. Fortunately, this one was a find.

Will this darkness ever end? Of course it will, smileys provide light for all TFTC

Thanks for one more 3LG.

Another series which has been well done. Thanks 3LG

Decided to go find OTD January series at Kyeema with JF & geodogs on this beautiful autumn Sunday. We didn't do them in order & didn't complete the series so more for another day. This was our start. Actually one of the dogs found it, clever!! No coincidence...lol. 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
