Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip.We are staying in Murray Bridge for a few days and doing a bit of sightseeing around the area using geocaching as our guide. It's a chilly morning, but it's not raining, and we are caching. Win win for us, but not so for the farmers. We are happy to take this blue face off our map.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Thanks for the find MooskaMouse

This was our first of the series so was pretty happy when we were off to a quick find at number 19.

19 is the eighth prime number, and forms a sexy prime with a twin prime with 17, and a cousin prime with 23. It is the third full reptend prime, the fifth central trinomial coefficient, and the seventh Mersenne prime exponent. It is also the second Keith number, and more specifically the first Keith prime.

R19 is the second base-10 repunit prime, short for the number 1111111111111111111.
19 is the maximum number of fourth powers needed to sum up to any natural number, and in the context of Waring's problem, 19 is the fourth value of g(k).
The sum of the squares of the first 19 primes is divisible by 19.
19 is the sixth Heegner number. 67 and 163, respectively the 19th and 38th prime numbers, are the two largest Heegner numbers, of nine total.
19 is the third centered triangular number as well as the third centered hexagonal number.
The 19th triangular number is 190, equivalently the sum of the first 19 non-zero integers, that is also the sixth centered nonagonal number.
19 is the first number in an infinite sequence of numbers in decimal whose digits start with 1 and have trailing 9's, that form triangular numbers containing trailing zeroes in proportion to 9s present in the original number; i.e. 19900 is the 199th triangular number, and 1999000 is the 1999th.
Like 19, 199 and 1999 are also both prime, as are 199999 and 19999999. In fact, a number of the form 19n, where n is the number of nines that terminate in the number, is prime for:
n = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 26, 27, 53, 147, 236, 248, 386, 401}

Just a few random facts about 19.

*Another geocaching adventure with woolwood9.*
We visited many good caches and trails on our trip and had a lot of fun!

*Really appreciate your effort, MooskaMouse putting this cache series out.*
We soon located the container.

Quite a lot of containers contained note paper for the log as others had not read the listing and realised the real log was in the "egg". we removed many of the added logs if the real log was ok.

Our first of this series today and the fact that it's soursob season Sad made this find particularly difficult Surprised. Checked along the fenceline to no avail, expanding our search area, still without luck [B)]. Just by chance Mr DISK clipped something with his boot and a bit of shuffling through the foliage revealed the container Big Grin.

We decided to do this run of caches today with ilook4geo after the rain had stopped. They were all easy enough to find and each log was stamped, sometimes with difficulty as several were soaking wet. These have been noted on the appropriate pages.
Thank you to MooskaMouse for placing this series of caches.

What an awesome day! The weather was fabulous, we ventured around areas we normally fly pass on the highway.
We came across some beautiful scenic views, travelled roads not travelled before, searching cemeteries/graveyards for long lost relatives and even having lunch outside an old church.
Geocaching along the way, we had 3 DNF's, picked up 3 TB's and had an absolute ball/

Reasonably accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of this good sized container. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks MooskaMouse for the cache.

Today I needed both a multicache and some others to get to loop 11 - so it was off to a recent multi and then down to continue with a few more in the Bletchley series. Razz

I stopped and looked at some barren ground. I looked to the right and saw the tell tale SPOR. Smile

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted 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 to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

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 with 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.

This afternoon after work, I headed to Strathalbyn primarily to complete the new *Bletchley* series, but also to visit a few others around the outskirts of Strathalbyn and in the town itself. It was a free evening for me, but one of the worst weather-wise - most of the evening it just drizzled and was damp, and walking through soursops and weeds had my runners drenched by the end of the night.

As mentioned, this series was my objective, and I had probably left these to later than anticipated. It was completely dark by the time I got going at 19:45 hr, and in the end, the whole series took me 1-1/4 hr. Most of the caches were reasonably quick to spot, with a few causing some grief. I also found the caches hidden quite away from the road, and having to walk through weeds and soursops tough to keep motivation, since they were full of water, and drenched my shoes and clothes. For the majority of the series, I didn't see any other cars, so probably not a bad location to have this power trail. I started at #1, and continued in order to #25. I do admit that I tried taking the small loop around the other way, going from #18 to #25, and the track quickly disappeared to a few fields and waist-high weeds, to a fence and bushes. I'm sure glad I stopped to survey my approach, and realised there was a full running creek with steep sides - there was no way that there was an existing track through that way.

For this cache, I pulled over nearby, and after a few minutes, I located the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I grabbed the TB to continue moving it on. Thanks MooskaMouse for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Thanks MooskaMouse for this cache, and the series. Loving the quick find and sign of these in suitable and easily accessible locations.

I had the most wonderful day caching. I met up with family at the Monarto junction and we headed south. Picked up 3 of 5 in the Monarto woodland, then completed all but 2 in Ferries McDonald. A GC phone app glitch had me without a GPS for all FM, I was disabled and without my usual directional ability. Thankfully my sister had complete control and guided us through the dense woodland to achieve all we set out to. What is this mosquito situation, they are everywhere, so many of them.

We headed across to Bletchley and had a wonderful lunch under a tree by a creek, and were joined by two more keen mugglets. With access to a hotspot I was able to reload the app and I was back in the land of GPS. The five of us headed off and collected every one of the Bletchley series, taking turns at finding based on which side of the car the cache was on. Thank you to MooskaMouse, CP Wanderer and Niftybridge for placing and maintaining these caches, it provided us with a stunning day of caching in awesome weather.
 
08-Sep-20
I had come for a drive down to Strath today to complete the new Adventure Lab along with the Bletchley caches and a couple of others that have been placed since the last time I was down here. [^] It was a nice day although a bit grey and windy, but I did find all the caches I looked for and when I had finished I revived with a nice mug of coffee and scones with jam and cream. Big Grin

I started the Bletchley caches from #1 and found most of the caches quickly with a couple taking a bit longer as the GPSr settled down. Just as I was getting used to the containers and hides a couple of "others" popped up. Surprised Noted that #19 is disabled so I didn't attempt to go down that track and made my way around to the other end to finish the series. Big Grin

Loved the drive along here with the lovely green and yellow crops and at one of the caches I disturbed a couple of big kangaroos and watched them bound away through the field. Cool Bumped into weredunn4 coming the opposite way and we looked for one of the caches together. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache and series MooskaMouse. Smile

Out and about caching with clare007, Gizmo's Gang and CPwanderer caching on a very cold winters day. Aussie Mary had arrived with an injury so she had to be careful today.
We ended up leaving one not attempted really as it appeared to be on a driveway as opposed to a road. Saw a farmer coming thru the main road end, so Aussie Mary was happy to not be driving thru that 'road'.
We all made several finds today, loved the creek near one of the cache placements and the canola was in flower today.

22-Aug-20
Today myself, clare007, Gizmos Gang and AussieM&M completed 25 of the 26 caches in this series. ...... see my note on #19. Weather was pretty foul but in the end the heavy rain held off and we remained dry. Absolutely spot on co ordinates for each cache. We were disappointed that the inner container and logsheet were the only thing in the "small" caches as there was certainly room for a few swaps to make the series a bit more kid friendly. All 25 were quickly located . Excellent hints!!! Thanks Mouskamouse for the series!!!

I came for a drive after work to find a few new caches. This was the first one I looked for but I could see the hiding spot but no cache.
