An easy find on a sunny Sunday afternoon!TFTC

Checked on this one this morning. Lid was screwed on a little tightly, but otherwise all OK.

Out with Normanville finding a few caches. Took photo of plaque then sat in car working out waypoints. Back out the car & found the cache but alas between the 2 of us couldnt get the log out. Have sent photo to CO. Tftc

Nice find with woolwood9 today. Over in Adelaide for the MEGA and finding caches in the area especially puzzles and multi-caches.Soon found here.SL *tm/ww NZ**Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit*

Arrived in Adelaide with tmann421 to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega Event.The aim of the first couple of days was to get as many Multi caches as possible and anything else that got in the way.Thanks to the cache owners for their placementsSigned logs tm/ww NZ

Adelaide Church Micro #22 - Our Lady of the Rosary was transferred from EsromL to user e.gregory1

I checked this one this morning and all is good. Logbook replaced.

After some correspondence with the CO, it seems I've forgotten how to count to 14.How embarrassing. Oh well, it happens to the best (or most mediocre) of us. Cache found and log signed.The CO made me feel better - I signed a new replacement log. Kind of feels like a FTF.Oh, big church!TFTC!

I checked this one out when I was walking by there tonight. Cache is still in place and in good order.

Unfortunately, I'm logging a DNF - darn.The coords did not put me close to where I thought it would be - a great big tree with many hiding options at head height.The closest 'head high' GZ I found was not a tree at all - but that option, which looked very promising, did not hold a cache.I guess I could have returned to other trees in the vicinity, but I didn't think they would be reasonable options, as they were just too far from calculated GZ.Another time ...

Took a while but smiling nowtftc

Our first multi! New log needed thanks for cache

Strolling around the area looking forward to your cashes. No problems with the calculations, and I found the container very quickly. TFTC!

A quick find, easy multi with children and grandchildren TFTC

Found with Princess Rosie on a school holiday afternoon. Thanks for the hide!

I was running early this morning, so thought I’d have a look at the caches in the area. This was the target and despite a funeral service being in progress, everyone was inside so I didn’t get in their way. My calculations matched up with the checksum, so wandered over to GZ to make the find. For some reason I expected the cache to be bigger, given the hide location. Anyway, when I approached from the correct angle it caught my eye. Tftc

The Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving group came around very quickly. I picked up S.A. Sewer Rat from the rat's nest, then on to Blackadders den where he jumped in. [^] Then it was off towards the Golden Northeast suburbs for a wander looking for newly solved puzzles, GSM, Former Reel caches now named It's: and anything else we came across. Not all of us required every cache so here are the caches I was able to put my name in the log.

Quickly worked out the coords. [^] The cache however was not quick as I started two trees north where I GPS wanted me and finally found it working my way south. Still a find is a find. That is not the first time the GPS has none that to me. [:(!] time for a new one me thinks.

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

Another cache found on the way home from after visiting my son. Thanks EsromL.

Found with vj187. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

I’ve been here once before, but I think once I was part way in I realized that a funeral service was about to happen and that was the end of that. Despite being a Sunday (mid afternoon), all is quiet here today, and an uninterrupted find was made once the GPS settled on one of the three candidate host structures.

Thanks for the multi EsromL.

Revisited and started again with a check of coords (whic c were 3xactly as i had them the last 2 visits).... thus tine, straight to it... tft hide...

TFTC

2nd visit.. 2nd sad face... praps my coords are off!

Took a few minutes at final GZ but cache soon in hand. TFTC

I found myself in the area so I stopped here seeking some numbers. I initially struggled to find the plaques. They were a lot smaller than I was expecting.
Once I found the plaques, I calculated the numbers and came up with some sensible looking coordinates.
At GZ, the cache was found after a few minutes. Cache and log are both in good condition.

Thanks for the cache EsromL.

So many beautiful churches hidden around Adelaide suburbs that I would not have discovered if I wasn’t caching

I’m no longer a Costco virgin!! .
Out and about with Peas&CarrotForever.

Keep smiling

Took Jolly0 for her first time visit to nearby Costco and then we had a lovely lunch just down the road at the Bottletree cafe. A quick check on geocache and we noticed a small group of geo's not far away.

Nice easy multi, with GZ not far away, just the way I like them. TFTC

Some easy calculations and then a very short stroll to gz where the easy find was made!

Wow this church is HUGE!

My gps was spot on

Tftc

Thanks for this quick multi and for bringing me to this large, interesting church. Out with makingpie.

Eventually found 8m from GZ

The nambers were easy to get and then we found the final.
TFTC

We were in Prospect area around lunch time and looked for few multis. Data collection was straightforward and then it was off to GZ. It took as a little while to locate this cache and only found it when we expanded our search area. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks EsromL for the cache.

Found the plaque and soon solved the puzzle. Thankfully it was my head height, so cache was retrieved, log signed and returned. TFTC

A truck driver has to have a 15 minute break in the first 5.5 hours then another 15 minute break before 8 hours and before 11 hours a 30 minute break or two 15 minute breaks. This cache was found in the 3rd break. A truck rolled to a stop. The driver walked to the listed co ords. No plaque to be found, he looked around. A priest came out from the building next to the church, turns out the noise of the truck was echoing in to the building. He showed me where the plaques where ( ok i didn't read the cache listing and notice the extra wp, blame to many 60 + hour weeks ). Got the information needed to solve the multi and at the same time explained geocaching to the priest. He went off to google geo caching and i went off to find the final location. fav point for the first time i ran in to a priest at gz.

If you cache into the night it becomes tomorrow!

Found your cache by torchlight. Easier without a congregation.

With a touch of deja vu at GZ it seems I've already been here with Sebastbat a while back!
All logs come to those who wait Bless you for caching!

Stay safe this Xmas. Peace on earth...

Yay. Found it. Probably my fourth visit to gz. First there were workers, second dead possum, third People sleeping in their car but tonight before a night owls event the area was clear. A bit spooky at night but pleased to finally make the find. Another fun adventure, many thanks for the hide.

GeoVenture Mega Event at Millicent, still looking forward to it!! A new date has been proposed for October 2021 now.

Lots of scafolding and work going on here but no dramas collecting the info required for GZ, a short sroll later we soon had the cache in hand, a caching day out with Mattycat and Sebastbat looking at collecting a few solved mysteries, completing a few multis and the odd wherigo that have popped up around here in the last few months.

Nice find. Tftc.

Little shonky has basketball practice in Prospect on Wednesday nights so I sometimes have the opportunity to walk around the area even though it's very dark at this time of year.
Last week I found myself snooping around a church searching for a plaque. I managed to find it and then tried to do the maths in the dark and somehow transposed a digit. The final gz was in private property and looked very doubtful.
So back at home in the kitchen I had another look and soon found my mistake and came up with a much more promising gz.
This week I found myself back at the church in the dark looking for the cache. Apart from the yapping dog across the road it was still and there was nobody about giving a chance to search. The cache was found in the third place I looked. But then a muggle came along and I switched off my light to remain unnoticed in the dark. Somehow I managed to get the cache out signed back in place in the dark. I think I must have looked somewhat shonky as the muggle started walking towards me so I turned around and left. The thrill of caching on the dark in urban areas...

This was a sad day as I stopped at 10 cache hides and only found 7 caches and had 3 DNFs
Even worse was that I spent about an hour kneeling and laying on the ground, looking for a cache and all I got was a bad case of the itches from the fine needle like lining of seedpods at that cache GZ
That bothered me for the rest of the trip Considering that cache was the 2nd of the trip, that shows how long I was itchy and scratchy
Still Rex and I are intrepid and so we kept caching and made a loop from Prospect back through Modbury and back to home[^]

Came and looked at another church and dodged the odd muggle while Rex rolled on the green grass and played decoy for me to search
Cache found reasonably easily in it's hiding spot[^]

After gathering the required digits I made my way to my calculated GZ. OMG this cache took way too long ! My calculations were correct but I just couldn’t see the wood for the trees.

This evening, I thought I would pop out to the northern suburbs to Prospect, and visit a few locations and collect some geocaches. It wasn't a bad evening, with a few families out and about kicking a football in their front yards, and playing with a remote car in this church's front area.

This church appeared to be a nice place to stop, and it was also nice to find a multi-cache type for today's calendar day. I made my way around to the back of the church, where the relevant plaque was quickly found. I crunched the numbers, and had a plausible location. However quite silly, I got my church corners mixed up, and made my way to one corner, only to realise it was in another area. So another loop around the church, and after checking a few spots, with a helpful hint, the cache was subsequently found. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks EsromL for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. This really was a magnificent church to admire.

Cache #2358. Second multi cache found today.
This afternoon, I & J plus Adlay checked some church caches in Prospect.
Parked next to the listed location, and found the information required.
Walked to final location. J found the cache first.
Cache container was in good condition. Signed the log, and put it back.
Thanks for the multi cache, EsromL.

Mr Tardis was heading past on the way to an event in Willaston. After a quick calculation I headed over to GZ and searched for a while until I finally spotted what I was looking for.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache EsromL.

Was being taxi to and from the RAH today.
This was one of quite a few church multis found between the to and the from.
Thanks EsromL for this cache

A multi cache was needed to fill a hole in the calendar as part of my goal of filling the calendar with multi finds.

There are times when geocachers also miss things hidden in fairly plain sight. I spent way too long here checking every nook and cranny but, alas, no joy for me today.

I was intending to save this multi for Christmas Day as it is very close to home and wouldn’t take too much effort. However, another multi was published close to a wherigo I had planned to do on the same day, so it made more sense to do those two together and this one another day. And today was the day!

It wasn’t difficult to collect the required information, and GZ was just a short walk away. The cache was easily spotted as I approached - its amazing how items can be hidden in fairly plain sight, but remain invisible to those who aren’t looking for it!

Thanks EsromL for the cache.

Found while out caching with Earthlight

Strolling the local 'burbs today,
I passed by this imposing church
All quiet in the grounds,
and the numbers I sought were soon to hand.

A bit of math later,
I was wandering to where the signals guided me,
and laid eyes upon a wondrous sight !!
A cache in all its glory

Another majestic building hidden away on a back street . Interesting this is the second largest Catholic church in Adelaide [^].
Glad we came on Saturday - Sunday would have been a different story . TNLNSL.
Thanks EsromL.

Out for night caching, this bear was quite unwell and wasnt having as much fun as should have been ! The snake and the rat were in full flight but it just wasnt happening for the bear! Having said that, there was much fun and enjoyment to be had with the company and the calculations - such pretty places. I would never have come here without caching - TYFTC SLTNLN

Out on a night run with Blackadders and skuzzybear.
What a lovely old church.
We went for a quick stroll to gather our info and take pics.
Did the calcs, then a quick stoll to the cache. Tftc

A quick evening run with a Rat and a SkuzzyBear filling in a few gaps closer to home. caches that had been published since our last scour of the area.

This evening a number of Multi caches were the target.

Arriving at the given co ordinates in darkness the glow of the facade gave an eerie but pleasant appearance. Learning that the information required was back there, the plaques were found, numbers worked out and off to the GZ a short walk away.

Signed and returned as found.

Out and about this evening after the GIFF event with Moneydork, LiB and TK2 collecting more smileys by torchlight...
This is a lovely church...a different view with the lighting at night...
Calculated the coordinates and found the cache a short distance away...

After attending the evening GIFF event the caching continued into the night with hevwalker, Moneydork & TK2.
Several church locations were visited this evening.

Originally tried to find this cache a few days after it was published. However due to fading light and drizzle the search was short. Fast forward a few months and I decided to revisit the Rosary. Numbers were checked and matched the same ones gathered last time. Wandered over to the row of trees (now looking a bit more bedraggled than I remember). A short search and the cache was soon located. TFTC

Wow, I did that tff hv e hard way. I needed my daily and after all my commitments of the day met I am stumbling in the dark looking for a needle in a pine stack. I walked through a web and then disturbed the resident bat. Resorting to the hint I soon had the little fella. Thanks for the cache EsromL

Numbers gathered and a short search.

Is Sunday morning the best time to do this one

Tftc

Found It!
Jesus has left the building. No wait, he's still in this one. Given the number of used 2B churches around here, how much longer until this one joins them? Found the plaque then wandered over to GZ and found the cache in the third place I looked. Very quiet here today. Jesus is not popular on a Saturday afternoon...

Found with CPwanderer and clare007 after attending this morning's breakfast event.
It was a case of who would look in the correct tree once we were at GZ.
After a short search the cache was soon in hand.
TFTC EsromL

I looked in the wrong place …… clare007 and Gizmos Gang got it right!!!! Thanks EsromL for the hide!!

Out with CPwanderer & Gizmo's gang.
CP was lulled by a hole he saw in the nearby tree.
We thought that was too obvious & took a few tries to find the "right" tree.
A lovely location, thanks for the cache EsromL

Thought we found the right spot but didn't see anything in the hole.

I had attended a lunch time event in the city and thought I would come out here to find all the Church Micro's and Used 2B's that have been published recently! [^]

Found what I needed after walking straight past the plaques...they really are small! Did the calculations then went for a short walk to GZ where I found the cache right where the GPSr wanted me. I was lucky I looked from the right angle as it could have taken much longer to find.

Thanks for the cache EsromL.

After some damage to my car on the Oodnadatta track 2 days ago, we took it in to get fixed this morning. 2 caches were near by and this was one of them.

This cache took a bit of finding although KalebClark found it.

TFTC

Called past while out and about, did the sums, then got slightly distracted with a selection of possible cache hides. Found it after a short(ish) search though. Thanks for the cache EsromL!

After an appointment in town Owl took the opportunity to find the proliferation of Church micros that have sprung up recently along Prospect Road. The numbers were soon collected, but the cache took a little longer with so many choices.

Found in the third location I searched in. Spent far to long on choice 1 & 2. Thanks EsromL for the fun.

After a bit of a Brain-Fade on 'B' in the requested number grab i corrected it and was off to the final, after the checksum checked out correctly [^]

At GZ i was trying 3 different objects and i eventually found the sneaky hide in the 1st choice of the 3 objects after scrutinizing the other 2 more than once before I settled on the 1st place I first looked and failed in, lol.
Easily a 10-15 min search here [B)]
My eyes and brain need to work together with hides like these in these kind of hidey spots [:o]

Age! Curse that 3 letter word!!

Went visiting four places of worship and former places of worship tonight, in the Prospect Rd vicinity.
This was also a quick solve, at a nice locale.
Headed to GZ and proceeded to do what the Mule did, before actually looking at the GSR... doh. Found quickly after correcting my search GZ!

Thanks

There was a wedding in here tonight so we were dodging all sorts of happy muggles to get to this cache. Who would have thought they would still be open at this time of night for weddings? TFTC

The Wilson Street church was pumping on a Saturday night. There was a glint of a white dress inside but It could not have been the reception. No bouncers but there was music of sorts. A joyous find.

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

After last night’s brain fart looking where I thought the cache would be rather than where the GPS said it was and not being able to find it, I returned this evening and found it right where it is supposed to be. Doh.

Thanks for the cache EsromL.

Find #9307

Found the right spot, but the hole is empty.

Collected the information. Cache found and logged. I am reminded of the Ben Folds Five song Brick. Hummed the chorus and wandered back to my car that was parked appropriately.

Needed a cache for the day and this is my closest non-puzzle to work so was an ideal candidate. After lunch I 'popped' out from work for half an hour and headed here. Lovely church it was so peaceful in the gardens on this super spring afternoon. Collected the relevant info, did a few sums and then made my way to GZ for a quick find, sign and replace.
Thanks EsromL for adding this one to the Church Micro series, it is a fine example of an Adelaide Church. TFTC

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was on the other side of town when this one was published so it was an easy decision this morning to make a small detour on the way to work and make the find on this one. Arrived in the area and parked as directed (well almost!), Wandered over to the plaques, gathered some numbers, assembled some coordinates, got the checksum to agree and then wandered over to GZ and after a short search located a cache right where the hint said it would be. Signed a log and replaced it. Another church off the map. Off to the next one.
Gratias pro cache EsromL

Fluffymaxi and I were out attempting a couple of newly published caches on Father’s Day when Brad called as he had realised we were in the area as he just missed us at the cache we had just been at. We arranged to meet at the published co-ordinates to make a joint attempt.
Fluffymaxi solved stage 1 for us and we moved to GZ to make the retrieval, finding a clean log and followed by a nice chat before heading off separately.
