A quick find. Had to use my ladder. Very hard to extract the tiny log from the bottom of the tube! Thank you, CharismaEmma; cache #4031.

Well Mr Kookacrew suprised the gang today, even with a dodgy back he climbed up and retrieved the cache, there is no one we know tall enough to do this one without using a ladder or climbing. Road was a tad busy today but no one questioned what we were up to, so all good.

Thanks CharismaEmma for the cache, tricky little log to retrieve but sticks came in handy. TNLNSL
 
Found while down for a few days on a break.
Quick find which is always good, took me back to my childhood days when balancing on the front fence of my aunties place Smile

We haven't been out Geocaching in a long, long time. So today we decide it was time to rectify that issue and off we went to find caches and this was one of them. TFTC

Not 100% sure we found this one . There was an obvious little container but the map was showing it was in a tree on private property

7years of full time travelling and we have only been to Victor Harbor once when we were staying in Kuitpo Forest in 2014. Time for a longer stay this year.

Ducked out to find a few caches after lunch in the freezing wind today.

Been doing a lot of wall building at home and my muscles were aching. Twisted Time for a day off to do some caching and chill. Smile So I called up Anymules and we met down at Victor Harbor to continue where we left off when our last day was cut short by an impending 5 day covid lockdown! Surprised I think I will rename Victor Harbor after today to Micro Harbor. I had brought several TBs to leave in caches down here but it took all day to find suitable sized ones. Big Grin Just saying. [:o)]

I spied the cache and was about to call Anymules but he called me saying he had found it. [?][?][?] Er no...but I went there first anyway. He had actually found a bell hanging in a rtree near the fence. No log there so we returened to the one I had spied. Razz Time for me to put all those years of workouts for the geo-Olympics Slanting Balance Beam Team into practice. Up I went, forward roll, back flip, hand stand until I had reached the required height to grab the cache and stamp the log. Smile A muggle walked by and looked a bit bemused but totally failed to hold up any score card. All those years training for nothing! [:(!] Oh well I enjoyed the fun of getting to this one. I shall be the first and probably only person to give this FP.

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)]

After the seaside event I did a little tour of town to pick up a few caches. I have so many to find so another few trips back will be in order.
Also completed the 2 latest lab caches. All up just over 20 finds for the day, had planned on about 40 but there is always another day you can never get them all.
Day was topped off with a multi FTF also a quick stop by at the seaside event and a march around Granite Island with Allisterw.
If you are me you need a ladder TFTC

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled to Victor Harbor and Goolwa primarily to attend the community celebration event, but also to kayak a few of the island caches. Conditions were forecast to have some swell but minimal wind, and so plans were made in the morning before the winds picked up. Following the lunch event, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I then visited a few miscellaneous geocaches along the coast, finishing up with a muddy wade to another island cache.

This was a quick park and grab for us today. We spied the container, and we made our way up to the necessary retrieval and signing duties. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, although it was a little annoying to find a nano logbook in this sized container - Perhaps a bigger logbook can be added to facilitate signing, and also it will be easier to maintain? Thanks CharismaEmma for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found after a short search, unfortunately found on the ground. We have messaged the CO and hope they do some maintenance soon so it's good to go for future cachers. TFTC.

The last time I was caching down here we stopped at this one and didn't have any elevation device and we weren't agile enough to do the climb so we left it as our only unfound for that day. Sad
I was staying down at Middleton with a few friends for a couple of days and I asked if we could come and get this one while we were out driving today. I did bring the TOTT with me but we didn't need it as one of the friends was able to climb up and get the cache. Big Grin
The only problem was that the very brittle branch that the cache is attached to broke off as she was unscrewing it. Red FaceSurprised We signed the log and have replaced the whole branch with the cache in the same location tucked between a couple of other branches, but I think it will need a bit of attention and perhaps re-attaching it to another branch...sorry. Red Face
But thanks for the cache CharismaEmma I'm glad to have the smilie now. Smile

Almost got a TOTT out to look for this one, then remembered the terrain rating, so moved over to another tree.
Spotted it and retrieved easily.
Above co-ords may help those decide whether to use a TOTT or not...

We climbed. A ladder. The traffic never stopped. 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.

Stopped here with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang.
Good thing we didn't follow Nuvi into the residential area,
but we found with the TOTT, I could clearly see over the fence.
A quick find & sign, thanks for the cache CharismaEmma.
