Nice walk

TFTC

Today I chose to explore these trails while entertaining my GC hobby. I quite enjoyed the terrain and was very surprised to claim unloved on many of the caches. I spent all day exploring returning to the Geo Van briefly in the afternoon to refresh and have a late lunch. This was one of the caches foundHad me circling for a while

Found it! Set off today in the general direction of areas I have yet to make a start on (Murray Bridge, Monarto, Mt Barker - all a sea of unfound caches on the map)! First of many in this park, found it in the first place I looked! TFTC!

Found it

Finally! Yay!!! Tftc!

No wonder I couldn't find it the first time. Had me going for a second. Great hide, otherwise it would have been an 'escapee' again. TFTC DHC. Well worth finding.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Searched for a while and approached from a few different directions but still pinpointed an area with no cache. Sorry to say a DNF for me today.

Looked and looked

Headed out towards CP land today for a nice wander in a couple of parks [^]
This was one of the fun finds along the way
Cheers and TFTC DoubleHelixClan

A definite narrow escape as this one was almost a DNF. I was going around and around and around in circles until I trusted the gps and ended up standing on the cache. TFTC

Full time nomads since 2014. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.

Back in SA for harvest work. Spending 2 weeks in Murray Bridge, today we headed out to find a few caches.
Out with Sylken today. Nice and sunny today. Lovely walks.

A beautiful sunny day had us taking a pleasant walk around Kinchina Cons Pk with geobuddies FelixII and Karopi.

Many thanks for this nice group of caches DoubleHelixClan

No one else out today, I’m loving the peace and quiet. TFTC and series DHC.

Oops! Couldn’t locate this one today. Will have to have another go next time. Great place for an explore with lots of interesting old bits and pieces laying around the area.

DNF

GPS was abysmal, cache could have been anywhere!

Out for a walk with the dog to clean up this side of the road this week.

Turned out to be more of a walk than I expected and I think we covered over 10kms.

I guess the terrain rating depends on your approach. Through the bush makes it a little more than 1.5

TFTC

Well done.

Just got out of this one. Thanks for the cache double helix clan

17.05.20 tftc took a little time

Tftc... the box was starting to fall apart. But still good to use at this stage

Took a bit to find as the morning was heating up. TFTC.

Out for a stroll with my friend, jafaz62 and herdog , Chewie...
It was a pleasant day and all caches were found...
Walked past the ruins...

I've been meaning to tackle the Kinchina series for some time now and today was the day. Really enjoyed the walk in a scenic area. Thanks for the cache and series DoubleHelixClan!

Thought we would take a quiet Sunday morning walk through the Kinchina Conservation Park, however had not expected it to coincide with a 75km/50km/25km trail run from Monarto into Murray Bridge. When we weren't making way for runners to pass we found a few caches including this one. TFTC.

Found on a day out caching with the family.
Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

Out with thebakers and my wonky compass!! SL geokids found some bits to swap. TFTC

B and K schellen

Quick find. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

A lovely little cache

Hi there DoubleHelixClan.

We found your cache **"Narrow Escape"** today and this brings our total find count to 21955

We spent the day caching around Mypolonga, then the Kinchina Conservation area (trying to avoid an orienteering group). We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 18 caches (& DNF'd 0). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wandering around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

On such a lovely warm and sunny afternoon we needed a leg stretch and so we decided to some and search for the caches in the Kinchina Conservation Park. This one, our fifth in the park was soon located once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Cache and contents all good. TFTC DHC

A nice walk and a bit of history along the way.
Walking circles around GZ had me finding this one.

Around and around in circles to find this one. Coordinates all over the place. Tftc.

Found today while out for a small father's day walk tftc

TFTC DoubleHelixClan! Very sneaky hide this one!

Took awhile in the dusk but got it!

Tftc

Omg. 20mins and finally it’s found. Thanks.

A few caches this afternoon with Jack.
Interesting part of the park we hadn't seen before.
Lost heritage maybe
Thank you DoubleHelixClan for putting out and maintaining the cache

A lovely winter's day with bright sunshine and about 15 degrees. I couldn't resist going for a walk to clear out this last section of the parks around here. I decided I would follow the loop in a clockwise direction.
Decision time. Follow this loop or head off to some other caches on the other trail perhaps. [?] Stick to the plan. I followed the trail up towards the old ruin before heading bush one again to find this well hidden cache. Damn. Those other caches are calling me.

**Thanks DoubleHelixClan for this cache. **

This one took longer than should have but persistence paid off. Thanks DoubleHelixClan

We were very happy to be able to spend the Adelaide Cup holiday caching in the Monarto area. We really enjoyed walking in the Kinchina Conservation Park and picking up a few caches along the way. A quick find at GZ. TFTC

found with bluewrentit. lucky for us it was only 24 degrees in the season of summer today, so we had no narrow escapes from any snakes, as none were sighted.

Upon arriving at GZ with this one I saw a few places it may actually be. It was in a spot I didn't anticipate. It was found by sir_spectre whom was about 8m away from me. Always better to have 2 sets of eyes when caching lol. My mindset for this one was off a bit lol. The day being cool was welcoming nearing the end of our 11+km walk/hike and the cool weather meant no wriggly sticks were sighted or worse... encountered. That would be a Narrow Escape lol

SL at 13:57 on 25/2/18. The log is dry. TFTC DoubleHelixClan

Out with Debandy hunting big game cache around the Monarto area. The weather was perfect, a slight breeze blowing at our faces. My GPS locked on to the unsuspecting cache and then there it was under some rocks. I squeezed the enter button and with an inaudible electronic wherr I added another notch to my caching belt.
Thanks for the cache!

Found while out caching the day away with Cows with guns.
Thanks for the hide

Decided it was time for a walk to regain some fitness again and with the mild weather, this hill looked good for some exploration .
Obviously made the wrong approach (and didn't even find the easy way out) [B)].
TNLNSL.
Thanks DoubleHelixClan.

Easy peasy japanesey.

I found an interesting ruin up here.
The chimney is a classic design
And out back of the house,
past the thunderbox,
I found me a cache after scratching around

TFTC

Went for a walk in this beaut park today to find this pocket of cache....
Saw some plenty of roos, lizards, and birds on my walk...
All found easily within a couple of metres of where GPSr wanted me...
Cool spot for a B&B !!
TNLNSL
Thanks

Tftc

No escaping here without find a cache . Thanks DoubleHelixClan

Found on a family day out! Love the location

Despite the weather we decided a afternoon stroll around the park would be a good way to stretch the legs, continuing our loop of caches we came across some fantastic views and even saw the complex where a few of them could only dream of escape............TFTC DoubleHelixClan

Found during a brief visit to the area with Crane2 and Froghoppin. TFTC

The frogs were on a mission, so we gave them a head start a and went a slightly different way, but then spotted the red beanie ahead. Like these cache containers, I have some like this one too. Cache #2715.

We had a family BBQ to attend in Murray Bridge this evening so we spent the early part of the day turning a few boxes into smiles.
Firstly we apologise for the genetic logs. They do not detract from the quality of the caches that we found here, and the variety of cache containers that were used.
We were serenaded most of the time by bird song which contributed to our enjoyment of the walk on this coolish day. We found all the co-ords to be pretty spot on by our GPS bar one but in saying this the few meters that it is out is quite acceptable, it just had us looking a little harder. We found an old house and heard the people at the jail enjoying an activity which sounded like it may have been a game of football. The walk was not hard and we returned to the car without once needing to take a rest stop.
All the caches are in good condition with loads off swag.

Found while on a 2 day run out this way with Wal & Ol. TFTC!

Found on a sunny holiday Monday with Pony1966. TFTC

TFTC lovely walk through this reserve, saw some kangaroos

I wasn't going to let this one escape. TFTC.
