Today out and about on 186 of 274 days to get my daily cacher Emerald Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC

Day 1 of my long weekend away up the river. The main goal of the weekend was to tryout my new pole and to try and fill in my D/T Grid but of course was find what ever crossed my path as well.Arrived here then worked out where it will probably be but didn't have the right TOTT with me so got creative and manage reach the find.TFTC Mattycat

With the big targets finished, we headed out today to wander around an area that we had been passing through to get to our targets. There was also a trail nearby that we had also solved. Everything looked for was found. Thanks to the CO's for the caches.#9210

A quick find, harder for vertically challenged cachers but a fun one none the less.

TFTC nice find out and about with geo wife LynSteNet

Put the word out to WayneAPN to target this NVRATHM Fireman’s Helmet series and he was in like Jack Flash “I need to get my puzzle numbers up” he said
So here we are, on another power trail

A quick find, stamp and return here today

Out this way doing the Fireman's Helmet Geo-art and decided to call in on this one.

Nice area, peaceful and tranquil.

TFTC SL

solved by a JAMS crew team member. Stopped on the way past to the nearby " helmet " geoart. Allister w did the climbing for this one since i forgot the ladder ( he didn't ) quick find. Also out of the fog now but still doging sheep.
All logs where stamped or written as " JAMS " ( JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, and Sir_spectre ) plus Travellinbees for this trip. The target for this trip was to get a wherigo cache on this calendar day for me and do the NVRATHM series ( helmet geoart ). On the way near the geo art there we were driving only 30 kms due to fog and literally the groups of sheep on the road. While doing the geo art the fog lifted and it was cold but dry. After the geo art a nice pub lunch at Sedan was had then we went and found some of the local caches. The roads around Sedan where mostly dry with a few wet patches but able to still drive down them. We found a total of 23 trees down over the road and only 3 that we could drive around, all the rest i had to drag, roll, move off the road. Of those 19 trees, 4 i had to break in to pieces to lessen the weight to get them off the road. This really slowed the find count down and made it I longer than than expected but still a good day out. Over 100 caches found today including 1 adventure lab completed.

out for a day with the Jams crew collecting and retrieving caches
Tha ks for placing this cache

found with the Jams Crew and one bee in tow on our way to find the helmet

Great Hide

Another puzzle solved and found along this road. Nice puzzle and hide here, just tall enough and didn't need any tools today. Cache is all good also, cheers.

Find #4766 on 22 Dec 2022.
TFTC Mattycat!

Another cache found on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. Thanks for the cache Cat9.

I'll bring a ladder next time

Today we headed out on our as the others in our group had spectific caches to find, most of which we have already found and as we do not own a yak there was four that did not suit us.
Our plan for the day, well open the GPS and click on the nearest unfound cache and this is the pattern we followed throughout the day. We found all the caches we attempted, some were found much easier than others. We drove through and saw beautiful scenery, birds, magnificient trees, dusty roads and many many flies.

Internet broke picture - all fixed, I hope!

Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird. Thanks its great to be out exploring this area.

Out on caching adventures on the ‘On Your Bike’ trail with Wollaston and Liz&Bruce.

Another Wednesday Wandering for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. We gathered at the Lyndoch and myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats headed out for a day of caching in and around the Barossa Except for 2 DNF's (Damn the list is growing again) we managed to find all we looked for. We were last moth and yet there were five new puzzles solved to look for. As usual there were a few laughs, a picnic lunch and these are the caches we found [B)]

I got wired and found a solution to the puzzle.
Today it was just a matter of calling past with the correct TOTT to make the easy find.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks Mattycat for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Another of the Wednesday wanderings for the befuddled. Targeting new hides in the area and a number that were still to be found by the Starfish. Yet another that was on the solved but yet to be found list. Thank you for the placement of the Wired cache Mattycat find number 8530 on 27 October 2021 at 3:48 pm

Second dnf in a row. Man, I must be the world's worst geocacher!

Up the block for a couple of days and headed out to grab a few caches in the area. TFTC

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Out & about with jafaz62 on this pleasant day. We stopped at Cambrai -> Sedan -> Towitta...where we rescued a fledgling Rosella & delivered it to a bird rescue person who met us in Nuriootpa...we finished the day doing SnappyTomCats new Adventure Lab that got published while we were there...
I solved this puzzle quite some time ago with my daughter...
Today I finally came past and with the TOTT in the car was able to retrieve the cache...
All good...
Thanks Mattycat

Solved this puzzle when it first came out [8].
With a terrain of 4.5 we came prepared with extra equipment [8] and were pleasantly surprised it wasn't hidden higher up .
TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one Cat9.

I needed a puzzle cache for the day.
So I talked the Muggle son into taking me for a drive.
Got to a parking spot and quick paced walk to GZ.
Wow there were a lot of ants.
Cache quickly located and stamped. Tftc

After some help from another cacher, we made the drive and soon had the cache in hand

Another fun day out caching with Dr Owl and JJ52.

Another interesting puzzle that was easily solved. The final location was a surprise, we were expecting the cache to be in the tree.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache Cat9.

Another day out with Doctor Owl and sushilord heading north. We started in Williamstown, had lunch in Nuriootpa as well as picking up some new stamps, then ended our day in Towitta. [^] A great day with lots of variety, lots of fun and some great scenery that changed quite markedly the further north and east we travelled.

I knew what I was looking at when I saw this puzzle but it still took me a while to find the right page to decode it. After talking to sushilord I came home and found what I was looking for and soon after had the green tick.

A bit further along this great road and we arrived at GZ. Knew we would require a TOTT which we had come prepared with so it was a breeze retrieving the cache. Loved the big old gum trees here.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache Mattycat.

Another interesting puzzle, another fabulous view along this road and another outing for Owl's recent purchase. What more could you ask for?

This series of puzzles were solved some time ago in preparation for our SA trip. The road along which the three puzzles were placed, proved to be one of the highlights of our trip so far. This is definitely our preferred type of caching - cities and suburbs are not for us. Amazing views along the way, and a bonus - it stopped raining. Fortunately we had the appropriate caching tool to snare the container. Thanks Mattycat

Had the correct TOTT in the car and it was not the inflatable boat.

One of the finds made today with clare007 and Froghoppin, tackling the caches in the Brookfield C.P. / Blanchetown area. Some creative caches, all in good condition!!! Headed to the two in this area on our way home!!!! Some creativity needed to get to the prize!!! A favourite!!

A detour on the way home, having been here before for a trad or two.
We were surprised to find some puzzle endings here too!

Found some handy objects to retrieve the cache.
Thanks to froghoppin who solved the puzzle & retrieved the cache and cat9 for the cache

Did you pack the tool? No I thought you had packed the tool! Well lucky neither of us is a tool and we were able to use something that wasn't the tool as a tool. We were wired. TFTC

Luckily I am tall. With no TTL in this particular car, some improvisation was going to have to occur. And it did. We did not use a wire but the though crossed my mind.

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

Found in the company of e.gregory1 and gridge98 on our way out to tackle the puzzle series near Blanchetown. Solved this one during the week in preparation for the day. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Mattycat!

Found on a very productive day's caching with Gridge98 and FeatherWaite. A rather cold start, but eventually a lovely winter's day.

Another good puzzle that, although I was quickly on roughly the right track, still took a while to find the information required to interpret the data. A bit of elevation assistance at GZ and we soon had the cache.

Thanks Cat9 for the puzzle and the cache.

Out for the day with e.gregory1 and feather Waite collecting some puzzles on the way and around Blanchetown. Was hoisted up to this one by Greg. TFTC

A nice little puzzle and nice hidey spot

Driving back from the JLWE I was keen to pick up the three remaining new Mattycat puzzles that were solved.
We took a few dirt tracks and arrived at an interesting location and noted a likely cache spot. The ladder was a bit hard to get to in the car, so instead I used myself as a step ladder and sent Skybird3 up for the retrieval.
Tftc Cat9

On way home from June LWE Event, so detoured via a cpl of solved puzzles on the way.
Having met the CO on the weekend and with assurance we could retrieve without a tott... we did, with Geokid#2 doing the retrieval.
Nice country drive following CoC around... lol
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found with Dad when we had a great drive through the hills along the pipeline.
I used dad as a step ladder to get to the cache.

Found It!
A nice little puzzle that I solved a few weeks ago. No need for a ladder at GZ, just a bit of strategic parking!

Paired up with Aussie M & M for a day of fun and exploring the area. We had been targetting a few puzzles and multies but of course got some trad too. This one was a bit of fun.
Thanks to Mattycat from mogni

Out and about with mogni caching our way to Blanchetown. Aussie Mark was at home working on this mystery and rang through the end points to us. Love the team work. Sent mogni up to retrieve the cache. Thanks for the fun.

An easy puzzle this one, one where my apprenticeship days pays off and the info required is etched into the brain cells, with a slight lift we soon had the cache in hand and enjoyed some awesome views along the back roads and rolling hills a fav point
TFTC Mattycat

After coming all the way out to this part of the world, I couldn’t help but stop at this one. Glad to have another good puzzle on the found list, and one with some good terrain on it too! Having multiple qualifications myself in things dealing with the code required, this was a quick solve during a lunch break at work.

Thanks for the cache Mattycat.

Find #6409

Janet was quite clear that she wanted to make sure our house was hard wired for the interwebs. So getting that sorted meant that Brad is right across all the needed terms. And some would say he is a bit twisted too so that probably helped.
Regardless of the reason, unlike for the sister puzzle nearby, the first attempt got the smilie.
But that was last night.
This morning Brad had a meeting in the CBD at 1000. So after leaving home a little earlier than usual he happened to find himself in the vicinity of GZ and thought he might as well stop.
Found in the first place checked . Don't you love that?
