Nice cache TFTC

love your work, great cache FP from me Today out and about on 257 of 274 days to get my daily cacher Emerald Using my Garmin Etrex 22X, Garmin Montana 700 and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC

Coordinates changed from:S 34 52.122 E 138 57.447Coordinates changed to:S 34 52.158 E 138 57.469Distance from original: 245.1 feet or 74.7 meters.This is the caches second move, hopefully wont be muggled here. Better location and some obfuscation.

Ready to be found again.

Ready to be found again. NM cleared.

Sorry to put a Needs Maintenance on this cache but there is only a wet log book in place and no cache. In fact we found the log book a couple of metres away from the hint location and only by chance. We are on holiday so didnt have anything to fix it with.

will maintain this one soon

This was our first full day of holiday in the Adelaide Hills. We didnt have a solid plan except to visit a cellar door, so one of the things we picked up which we thought was going to help us out was a cryptic sheet of local markets. I call it cryptic because it didnt actually list dates but freak occurrences and also location names that only exist in Narnia or Dr Seuss books.For example, on the third Sunday of every month with a full moon where the wind blows from the North and your grandmothers bra size perfectly fits on a sine curve then there are markets held on the Yellow Brick Road. Another market was only held in Diagon Alley on every Saturday that begins with the letter Z assuming that the difference between how low or high your testicles hang on the coldest and hottest days of the year doesnt exceed how far you can pee into the wind before getting wet.What this all means is that on the sheet there were markets in Mount Torrens but we could not tell the day, time, hemisphere or planet they were on. We had nothing to lose so came out on a wing and a prayer. We didnt find any markets but we also didnt find a cache. We did find a log book on the ground which is crusty from being out in the elements so we signed it and put in back in between the trees. tftc

Cache was checked today. Everything here is all good. Added some more camo.

Didn't have Garmin so was using the hint, which now sounds out of date.

Nice hide. Thanks for the fun!

TFTC. Oz grumpy caches are always on the ball Log signed

A quick stop and find here today on my way past, cache is all good.Today with an event in the hills, I headed out for a half days walking plus a few others yet to be found in the area. With the weather being mild for a summers day it made for a great day out.Thanks for the cache

Quick find with Chookster, tftc.

A quick run from Birdwood to grab a cache or two around here. This one was found quite quickly with naughtybunny as there weren't many hiding places where this could have been. Took marble, left bling. Cheers.

Found this with geo daughter and granddaughter and didn’t get around to posting it until now. TFTC TNLNSL

Beautiful long weekend out caching with BearyOrganised and Tigtog08. Nice quick find, tftc

I was heading for the hills today to meet up with Doctor Owl and CPwanderer to find some new Adventure Labs in Mount Pleasant and Springton and then pick up the odd cache here or there. We had a great day driving around the area, walking through long lush grass, falling over (me) and partaking of a beaut pub meal to break up the day. [^]

I had left the others and was now on my way home with a few little detours on the way.

Parked the car right at GZ and soon found the cache. My last up in the hills and the sixth GSM for the day, pretty pleased with that.

Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy.

Found with Team Waldron on a caching tour of the hills. We had a lovely chat to the grounds keeper at the oval who offered to help.us hunt. Nice hide. TFTC

Out for a day with Trail06. We toured Charleston, Mt Torrens, Birdwood, Mount Pleasant and Springton.

The weather was OK with no rain.

Had a chat to the groundskeeper who was interested in what we were up to.

TFTC

Geokid had a scout camp nearby so dropped him off and went to do some nearby caches. Got great memories of my Dad playing some great footy here against Mt Torrens. Tftc

Beautiful Surrounds! TFTC

Another game, another set and another match. Game over. TFTC

Another drizzly day in the hills, perfect for keeping the muggles away [^]
Cheers and TFTC OZGrumpy

Out in the hills this morning trying to claim a couple of previous DNF’s and some other caches along the way
A quick find, sign & return
TFTC

On our way home from a weekend at Burra.
We stopped here for lunch.
As always, I checked for a cache and this was only a few metres away!
Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy.

Down caching around Mt Torrens and surrounding areas today. An early shower of rain turned into a great day for caching. This cache is one that was found today.

Another GSM cache found. Interesting complex here, cache in all good condition.

Find #4044 on 20 Apr 2022.
TFTC OZGrumpy!

Walked here after a tasty meal at the local pub

Caching area with Earthlight
Cool start to the day but non the less a fun morning
Great playground for the kids
Tftc

First find for the day caching with The X-Trailers. Lucky enough to have no muggles here today and retrieved a pathtag.
TFTC. A fav point as lived the area for kids .

Found at10:40 AM with XBRmob. Hmmm! Seven you say! Easy when you look in the right cluster. Nice location with good parking. All good. TFTC

First time caching since the Millicent Mega. Life just got in the way. Today, we set out to meander towards Mannum with some trads and multi's picked up and the Ad Lab at Mannum to finish off our outing.

Mary wanted it to be harder terrain and Mark didn't. Mark was right. A nice fresh log book here today, as it has been replaced. This was our closest find to home today.

The cache was being moved to other locations in the tree, and on a recent visit it was entirely visible, but I could not change it as people were present. Today there was a community gathering which was centred on GZ tree. I have decided to move it to the other end of the sporting complex to avoid this issue, for both me and finders.

All good to go in new location.

Came today with a previous finder. We had the whole place to ourselves. We searched high and searched low and searched around other spots too - no cache could be seen today.

I will need to check this one. Sorry for the inconvenience

Way too many little muggles around today.
Will be back another day.
.

Tftc. Dropped off tb.

Beautiful park and kids had a ball playing. Deffently will return.
Sadly DNT

Found by The Winemaker, Wee Bonnie Lass and our baby boy. His first cache and it was a lucky stumble upon find!!

Thanks for placing our son’s first cache!

It had just started to drizzle again as we arrived at this location. Thankfully it didn't take long before this cache was located. Unfortunately there was some water inside and the piece of paper supplied recently was saturated. We drained the water and supplied a new logbook in its own sealable plastic bag. Thanks OZGrumpy for the cache.

TFTC

Found it but no log book. So I left a piece of paper.

Thanks OZGrumpy for the cache

What a lovely park. It was worth stopping by just for it.TFTC

Tftc! Log is missing tho.

Found pretty quickly by mama kayche 21. Cute little park for kids. Getting a bit cold now in this winters afternoon. Maybe time to go back to my holiday home and have a cuppa.

Gotcha!
Found with Clive Staples
TFTC
Lovely park.

Fences are down. Cache available. Funny how Cacher’s behave, it isn’t where I put it. It’s on the other side of the tree. Visible. Twice as high. Go figure. Cache on

We should've read Lava12's log before stopping for this one. It's behind a temporary playground construction fence.

Inaccessible at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience

I could not get it because it was fenced around the park .

A quick find for a beady eyed Rat.
Had to deploy the extendable legs, to reach the cache. Tftc

We thinks this may have been moved as we didn't ecpext to need extendable legs for a 1 1/2 star terrain. Cache is certainly safe. Thank you for the placement of this cache OZGrumpy find number 7407 at 24 February 2021 3:24 pm

A good fun place for a cache. I think our son is part cat

Lobbed on by...

Well it seems that unless you're a tall cacher or a cat with good climbing claws, the T rating may be a little deceiving! Wonder if the log from 12/11/2020 increased the T rating slightly as there was another nice place it could go

All good though. Cache was soon served.

Thanks OZGrumpy for another smiley from this fun cache on our geomap

Tennis Tip of the Day: If you walk into a bar dressed as a tennis ball, you’ll be served right away.

"A cache a day keeps the doctor away" - seems legit

Found today with Purrfect Di.

2020 won. it's not over yet!
- - cache at a social distance wherever you can - -

Stay away from all the bugs ( except travel bugs of course )
- avoid people as much as you can, they spread the nasty bugs! [:o)]
- go out and place some new caches in our regional areas where it's safer

No games here today. Things were quiet. It was getting a little late so I bee lined it for Lenswood and some dinner.


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

Having stayed with friends last night and on the way to catch up with another I had time to stop and make a quick find. Being vertically challenged I need to be at full stretch to retrieve.
Thanks

Passed here on my way home in the dark after attending the Sandy Creek Community Celebration event...no muggles around except for a barking dog...
The cache was quickly located and a bit of a stretch had the cache in hand...
Thanks OZGrumpy

Stopped by this one at mini muggles dinner time. No muggles out at this hour. quick find.
found after work and on route to the Sandy Creek Sandybration Celebration Event.

Found

Found the time today to go out caching but with the temperatures forecast decided to concentrate on the many fairly recent published that I've yet to find and hoping for mainly drive-bys. This was one of twelve found.
Thanks OZGrumpy for putting it here

*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Turned down Klose street which I believe is named from John and Anne's family. Thanks OZGrumpy for the hide.

A nice day for caching. Found the container out in the open. Replaced where I thought it would have been originally. Thanks OZGrumpy.

Mr Tardis and Mini Tardis were heading towards Mt Crawford forest, and stopped on the way to find this one. We found the cache in the first place we looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy.

Out with CPwanderer today, heading towards the Barossa.
No one here today, so I quick find for us today.
Thanks for the hide OZGrumpy

Quickly found with clare007 .... though it did take us a bit to get it out of its hiding spot!!! Thanks OZGrumpy for the hide!!

The great Southeast Saunter down to the Millicent area was over. Back to my 2020 caching goals. Only one of the three set at the start of the year was now possible and should be complete by Christmas. [^] So pressure off and back to caching when and where the whimsy takes me whilst I ponder some targets for next year.

Today I was headed out to the badlands for a meeting of the Befuddled puzzle solving group. May as well grab a few caches on the way.

A quick find in the obvious spot with not a soul around. I can't believe this was published over two months ago and i haven't been past since then!

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

No love at the tennis today. The game was elsewhere. Some time later the cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the 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.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

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.

First for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
8:00am on a Saturday morning and the place was deserted - just the way we like it [8)].

Thanks OZGrumpy.

28/09/20 Thanks

Found It!
A quick find here which was good since it was starting to rain quite heavily. Needless to say, there was no tennis today!
TFTC

Heading to Monarto today to attend an Event and to edge a bit closer to our 5000th. Tennis courts empty today so a nice leisurely find. TFTC

Found while passing through the area today. Good thing the playground and tennis courts were devoid of onlookers! Thanks for the cache OzGrumpy!
