By Team Waldron on 25-Apr-17. Waypoint GC74M9K

Out around Pt Wakefield today for a few caches. TFTC

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. After 3 months on the geotrail, we're heading west towards home, picking up smilies.TFTC Team WaldronTNCU

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. After being in this beautiful State for nigh on three months it is time for us to head back home. Staying in Port Wakefield for two nights to grab caches in outlying areas. Up bright and early this morning to tackle the Abandoned series and a few other nearby caches. Big mud pool in the middle of the road to negotiate. Thanks for the hide.

Headed to Port Wakefield for the day to do the new section of the Abandoned Railway Sidings and hopefully reach the 4,000 milestone. Picked up some on the way and also some more of Postman Pat Mail Road Trail. TFTCMy Ford Ranger (George the Beast) handle the damp backroads comfortly and cache was soon in hand.

Found it! Quick find on the way home from the YP today. Very dusty road! TFTC!

I think the Ford is winning here. I had to clear out the spider webs before I could see the cache. Cache in good condition. I am glad I heard a thud as it descended back into its abyss. Everything all good here. Thanks for the cache Team Waldron. Find #9512 at 12.45pm

Nice find with woolwood9 today. Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit. SL tm/ww NZSoon located. Dusty road - 43 degrees this was the hottest it got!

A quick drive by here today TFTC

Out and about with Cheezel to grab a few caches in the area. Found this cache and stamped the log. Thanks for bringing me here!

So glad this Corolla didn’t have to drive any further. Huge dip and puddle ahead.
TFTC!

Decided to head out and do some caches with sixpak69, most of which he had already done however I wanted to turn some into smiley faces. We spent a couple hours driving the back roads before we met up with friends in Port Wakefield to do the adventure lab together.

A nice quick find here, log signed and cache replaced... (Holden all the way!)

Thanks for the cache placement Team Waldron and thanks for the company sixpak69

Easy drive by on day off TFTC

Mr Tardis was out for a motorbike ride along many of the dirt roads, and back roads before the seasonal rains come.

Based on this location, I would definitely say it's Ford rather than Holden.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team Waldron.

as we have a look around the area this was one of the caches we found

A good day was had while grabbing these caches
Thanks Team Waldron for placeing them

Another quick find for one who prefers Holden. Thank you for the placement of the Ford vs Holden cache Team Waldron find number 7846 on 17 May 2021 at 11:59 am

Today headed out solo for a big day of caching around Port Wakefield and a bit of the peninsula for some fishing and then home via Balaklava.
Enjoyed the day out but was knackered when I got home. Some great hides and a lot of manky mint tins.
Got a bit sun burnt. Enjoyed a lovely packed lunch on the peninsula.
All up just over 50 caches found for the day as well as the lab caches In Port Wakefield.
Thanks to all the CO for the hides was a good start to the New Year.
Continued along back roads to make this find. TFTC Team Waldron

gridge98 had asked about going caching in the lower north area today[?] and I sure wasn't going to say no[^]
There was heat, rain[^], thunder and lightning[^] and cache finds totalling 31 of which 1 was a event held at 11pm at night at Vili's Mile End[|)][xx(][|)] I was exhausted by this point[|)][xx(][|)] and so slept in the car until the 6am event to farewell Gwen[|)][^]

Some awesome sights seen[^], great back roads travelled (some more slippery than others especially after rain showers passed overhead) and Rex had a ball running some roads and chasing vermin out of cemeteries[^]
We saw lots of 'old schools or sites'[^], entered tiny townships and learned lots of history[^]

Well only one place it really could be here, unfortunately the cache is covered in bird crap.

Today locus cache and I headed north to clean up some caches we missed between Snowtown and Clare and the odd cache here and there. With limited time we managed to get 32 caches whilst dodging the rain.

Thanks for the cache

Now staying at Price, today we headed out tackle caches that we missed last year when working at Bowmans and that were just out of reach for us from Snowtown.

Found on a trip from Wool Bay on Yorke Peninsula back to home in the Adelaide Hills via Maitland, then up to the northern plains to find most of the caches on the circuitous back-roads in an area between Nantawarra, Balaklava and Bowmans, finding 22 caches for the day and clearing up a very rewarding portion on the map. Thanks for the cache Team Waldron!

Here it is Race Day in Adelaide where indeed FORD vs HOLDEN!
This is also a special cache as it’s geo hubby’s 1500th find!
This was a quick find as we travel many roads collecting smiley faces as we go.
The log was signed & dated before being returned back to its hiding place

TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife how ironic Ford v Holden in Adelaide and just out of Bowdens mid north I find the cache Ford v holdens and it’s my 1500 cache

Found it TFTC. Very windy today blew the files away lol

All good but for flies. TFTC

Nice find

We've had some experience with this ford before , but with a 4WD, even though it was significantly washed out . All good though - we made it through ! It was fine today, the track having been recently graded [^].
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Team Waldron.
PS. Our date stamp time warped us a month ahead here , but the log date is correct [:o)].

Out doing a cache maintenance run and grabbing caches along the way. TFTC

After a fun day out collecting a few caches with the Kelly Gang on the Yorke we detoured on our return trip to collect a couple of the main track, after recent rains the area was still quite dry, cache was a quick find
TFTC Team Waldron

On a Sunday let’s go out for a fun day caching with Froghoppin so off we hopped To Find some caches with the Girls as back seat drivers men in front leading the way to the caches. Driving another road rough patches here and there a wet patch now and then but a cache is what found in the End TFTC

I take this road to work almost every day and had not looked at my geocaching app for a while. My hubby told me this cache was here, so on my way home from work’ i stopped to get a find in. With the help of my geomuggle brother got the cache, signed the log and on to the next oneTFTC

Haha, well that is definitely a ford. No water bothering us here today....I didn't like all of the cobwebs where my hand had to go...eek. Brilliant roads to explore out here.

Stamped the log as "Fabulous Randoms".

A very average day weather wise, but a great day with our secret squirrel friend who jetted in....

The lovely Feathertop joined TheDame and I on a short run out North. Our focus was to collect the caches that we usually 'fly past' but say "we'll grab those next time" - well today was that day, and a handful of great caches were found.

Lots of laughter and fun was had.

Thanks so much for placing this cache Team Waldron! [^]

A fun girls day out with GoodLook and Feathertop exploring this wonderful state we live in.

I was part of 'fabulous randoms'.

Thankyou for the geocache.

I was over here for work yet again and as usual I jetted in on Sunday morning.
It was a really warm morning and a bit spotting with rain, not all that nice actually but I was in Goodlook and Thedame's company so I knew I would have a good time despite weather.
In all we visited around 25 caches around here, I had 17 new caches to my name at day's end including this one.
I left Helen to retrieve this one!
Signed at part of fabulous randoms
Cheers

A detour on the way home now the roads are dry and safe to drive along in my Toyota Carolla. Another car went past but that wasn't a Ford or a Holden either. Thanks

spent most of my day on dirt roads just driving around the country side. quick find.

Found on a dry road today as 3LG and I travelled back home from Clare. Quick easy find. Cache ok. Glad didnt have to cross a 100meters a way . TFTC

Travelling with earthlight to the event at Clare and after the event headed towards Balaklava to do maintenance and picked up some smileys along the way.
Had a lovely afternoon travelling around these dusty tracks taking in the scenery.
Only a couple more stops then time to head back to Adelaide as dusk falls.

No need to ford the gap and the cache found by a Starfish holden on to the fence.

Out on a lovely winters day, with an Owl and a Starfish,
Travelling on the dirt roads north bound from Gawler.
A lot of laughs and caches found.
Mrs rat was on a quest to get to 6,000 finds.
This was a no contest for the Starfish
A quick find by the merry trio. Tftc

Yet another puzzled puzzler's Tuesday caching expedition. Today's crew of brisal5, Mrs. SA Sewer Rats and Doctor Owl set sail north again to where we were caching DNF's recently. Whilst doing that two weeks ago we rectified three DNF'S but added another three to the list. Although we made a lot of finds I managed to add another four to my DNF list! No matter we had a lot of laughs and I added a few unloved caches to my list along the way. [:o)]
Ford is a four letter word starting with F. Has to be Holden. [:o)] Found the cache in the first place I looked!

**Thanks Team Waldron for this cache. **

Everything bone dry here today. Although the gps did indicate a lot of blue water. TFTC

Kind of like Crows V Port. Always a sore point to talk about the Crows in the Prado.....

Thanks to Team Waldron and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Day 2 of our girl's adventure and Gral4 and I did a spin around town collecting caches before heading into the wild and retackling yesterdays DNF, some 4WD caches and exploring the backroads for some planetary pursuit caching.

Another interesting day, we encountered mangroves and slippery mud, saw kangaroos, a rabbit, a dead cat [)], a UFO lauchpad [?], an old homestead, a grandprix track, a few trains and big cactus plants amongst other things.

Gral4 did some great 4WDing which meant we could get to some places my Toyota Corolla can only dream about I dropped lots of TB's on the way but we also picked up another 4.

Weary and hungry we ended up at Cookies at Two Wells for dinner and enjoyed a very tasty sweet and sour chicken dish to complete the fun weekend.

A quick find here.

Found 2 April 2018

Day 2 of our adventures. This was much more adventurous than day 1. We did a lot of 4x4 driving, up tracks that hadn't seen a vehicle for ages, NEARLY conquered mangrove mud without ending up in it, saw two kangaroos and two sleepy lizards, three trains went past just after we went across the crossings, and we had lots of fun. It was good to get the 4x4 out and use it for what it is designed for, although muggle hubby might not be happy with the layer of missing duco. I have never been confident to use the 4x4 like this, there will be no stopping me now.

Great find and we had to turn back.

Out on a planet run today.
Looking for points and dirt roads.
Had a great day tracking down caches.
It only seems a couple of weeks ago I fell into the Wakefield and here I am crossing a dry section.
This could have had a funny ending.
Got my arm stuck and was worried it was coming out.
What slides down doesnt always come back up.
Just like when you put a ring over a finger and then cant get it off.
I was worried there for a few minutes.

dropping off a TB

Found It!
Last time I was here was about a year ago in the frog's Pajero. The creek had water in it that day and the Pajero went home with extra mud. Today the creek was dry so the Hilux didn't gain any mud but I still found the cache!
TFTC

An early morning start took us on a caching adventure to Price, Clinton, Port Arthur and Port Wakefield and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ. Left TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found it, TFTC

High winds, snakes and hay fever. Perfect day for caching. TFTC

found it with troyyugal

Out for an afternoon drive with Timotatus and Jack.
Wasn't quite impassable today, but definitely "interesting:".
Cache was at arms length, just.
Enjoyed the drive (in our Holden/Isuzu) and TFTC Team Waldron

Negiated the crossing easily today, hardly got the tyres wet!
The power of a Mitsi... lol
