A lovely couple of hours grabbing a few unfound caches E/SE of Riverton on a cool and very windy day.Many thanks for the hide kapqueen

As I walked towards the cache I said to my husband I think someone else has been here today. I could see footsteps in the soursobs! Thanks for bringing us out this way to explore. TNLNSL TFTC

Get some caches in the Barossa on the way home after doing a bit of shopping in Elizabeth. Manage to put up with the showery weather and was also very cold. TFTC

As we wander through the land, grabbing caches and seeing the sights even occasionally catching up with friends A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered Thanks for placing them *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Heading home after a day in Kapunda and stopped by for this oneTFTC

Found it! Checked a familiar hiding place and found the cache. Watch out for the cache guardians! The container has a small hole in the base and several spiders had found their way inside. TFTC!

Out and about with sir_spectre grabbing a few caches as we pass.Thanks

After leaving the last cache i started driving to this one. Stopped because there was a tree fallen across the road. That took about 10 minutes to break the tree into small enough pieces to move off the road. QUick find when i got the the cache.Found with Mogni. Out to goto Riverton to see the Mini Maker Graduation. Stayed the night in a cabin at Riverton but since i had to work all day there was very few caches found on the way up. I didn't even get to find one of the letterboxes i solved since it was behind the way i was travelling. The weather started off raining going to fog and then moving to scattered showers. The way back it was foggy till lunch then it was just scattered showers again.I was glad that this trip was in my 4x4 ute since the roads were very, very wet from the recent rains. One road had a sign on it saying " $200 if you need to be pulled out of a bog, cash " beside a homestead. A few more caches were found on the way back plus completing a lab cache, we were mainly target non highway caches.

Never straight

The cache first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Found with LíB . Cache all ok
Loved the ruin further back towards Hamilton. TFTC

Found on the way to an event with earthlight on a very warm autumn day.
Big ninja dance when I walked into a spider web.

I'm glad I didn't have to chop that one down to use there. Been a while since I've seen logs that size used in that situation. They make good nesting holes for Blue Jays. A quick find and sign then back on the road.

A good sized cache! TFTC!

Cleaned a few webs off, natives were harmless. Thanks for the hide.

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]

Day 6: Time to head home, caching as we go.
The coords for this one were absolutely spot on making for a quick 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 kapqueen for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A nice quick park and grab of a good sized container.

Thanks for the cache kapqueen.

TFTC ON A AUSSIE ROAD CREW TRIP
CACHING with bev & Anne & tammy

Out with Kell Marina Tammy on Aussie Road Crew Thanks for the cache

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

Back in SA for harvest work. Spending a few days in Kapunda before heading to Yorke Peninsula.

Headed out to explore some back roads today before the forecast rain. Boy the crops look good around here. Some of the dry weather roads are only just drying out from the recent downpours! Lots of mud around but we managed to avoid most of it. Although we are going to look up a carwash for tomorrow.

TFTC kapqueen

Found it! Thank you

Taking some back roads today and convinced geo hubby to stop. Thankfully it was a quick easy find.

I'm not sure how it's possible to go straight when you are caching. Not sure at all.....

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

Today we had a caching day with Astro in the area. Great weather and, even more important, great company resulted in a wonderful and productive day. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks kapqueen for the cache..

Good Hide.

A nice easy find

We three found it ! Nice hide

In Kapunda for a weekend with the geo-pup. In the way home for a coffee after a great day in the area.

A quick stop by here today. The cache was found in the obvious spot nicely tucked away and is all good

After an early morning CITO on Anstey Hill, I met up with JJ52 to go caching for the day. With not much of a plan other than to cache around Eudunda for the day. We went from cache to cache finding 49 caches for the day and ending up in Kapunda after a big loop. A lot of middle of no where/back roads with 2 brown snakes spotted on our journey.

Thanks for the cache

Another quick find and great to see decent sized containers. Thankyou for the cache kapqueen found 5 January 2021 15:17

A couple of days away with The White Dog Gang .

The bikes were bought along and we did the Rattler, the N E series and a few of the Reisling Trail. Plus any that were near the roads we travelled along.

Thanks to evryone who put out a cache that we found.

Today I was supposed to be doing lots of computer based letter and email responses as well as electronic signing of legal documents I did what I could and then had a nana nap in the afternoon[|)] and slept through 50minutes of 5 minute apart alarms[?][|)][|)]
Finally woke up enough to get to the Dessert Day Gelato event[^] and then after that I somehow got sidetracked[?] and didn't get home until 2.45am[|)][:o)]
Started the evening with 1 event and then found 4 caches too and 2 of them were FTFs

It was about 9pm when I got to leave the event
Then on the way home, a new cache was published and so a short detour was taken[^]
I got joint FTF with ttrogg there[^] and then we both had spoken about our plans for tomorrow. That conversation lead to me making a decision to drive to Marrabel to try for a FTF there[^] and on the way, Rex and I picked up a couple of other caches too[^]

A quick park and grab here[^]
The stars shone beautifully above[:X] while drops of moisture glistened on the grass below[:X] and the night sounds of the country serenaded us[:X]
Cache was a real regular and made me smile[^]
When I worked in Community Corrections, 'going straight' had a whole different meaning

Found after a trip to Burra for a few days, staying out in the campground at Redbanks. Took the interesting backroads on our way back home with a few detours to search for caches along the way. Thanks for the cache kapqueen!

Haven't driven the full length of this straight very often (probably less than a dozen times) , usually turning on or off it somewhere along the way .

Thanks for one more Kapqueen.

I decided to go straight, grab the cache then follow the bend in the road. TFTC

Thanks for the cache on a nice sunny day.

Found it

Not sure if this is the longest straight in SA, but locals should never be argued with. Aussie Mark looked in the wrong spots before Aussie Mary made the find in the first place she looked.

Hevwalker made the trek north to visit for the weekend so we decided to head out and clear up some of the newer caches in the district. A nice quick find, and a good size container. TFTC

Another day caching out north with Doctor Owl, sushilord and SA Sewer Rats. It started out quite cool but by mid afternoon it was quite warm and I even worked up a sweat at one cache. [^] A fun day travelling on some great back roads with lots of beautiful scenery and plenty of interesting banter along the way.

A quick find for another podium finish.

Thanks for the cache kapqueen.

Another bronze for the Animals!

Main Road 45 is an impressive name, let alone length.
It goes for miles, and every time I come this way I wonder where the other 44 roads are

A nice quick find in a suitable safe place. Almost a full moon tonight but not quite!
