After the MEGA Leapyear Event we were staying couple of weeks in South Australia before it was time heading towards Easter MEGA in Canberra.So we are still refreshing memories and caching. This cache was found on 5.3.24 and signed with TBU for both of us.Tftc Bob from Elsewhere

We stay another week in Adelaide and pick up some more caches Found the cache with TBU1BIKESU Tftc Bob From Elsewhere A fav point from me

Out for a long stroll, and trying to find geocaches along the way.I was there a few weeks ago and didnt really try hard. But today it was actually an easy find. And without any tools needed. Its still a hard fine, and might be easier with tools, though.TFTC.
 
19-Jan-24
Didnt find it! I am pretty sure I know where this is hidden and found one of the TOTT needed to retrieve however will need to return with the other one another day! Great hiding spot. TFTC!
 
10-Jan-24
Well I decided to extend my walk a little bit and try to find the final. I think I found the location, but I did not have the correct tools of the trade. Oh well.
 
09-Jan-24
On a hike along the dry Creek Trail, and Im about to head back home. Stop tear to get the required information. Its not in the direction Im heading, so I may not get to it today.
 
19-Dec-23
Found while touring around a few of the NE suburbs today. Rode along the trail to find some of the Obahn series, only missed a couple due to muggles. Simple multi and nice hide, was able to retrieve without any tools. Cheers.Find #6377 on 18 Dec 2023.TFTC Bob From Elsewhere!SAs Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - Feb 29th, 2024. Keep the date free!

It might be simple arithmetic, but not quite so simple retrieval. Solved this one yesterday and got to the final hide only to not have the recommended tott. So another day of caching today, came equipped with the tott, but still couldn't get it Had the string in hand but no amount of tugging pulled it loose. Never mind, the view was lovely
 
19-Apr-23
TFTC! Nice hide. We forgot to return to final coords with coathanger but string was much appreciated. Just watch out for red backs! One appeared on path after retrieval so I'm sure I must have disturbed it. Fortunately I was wearing gloves!
 
07-Feb-23
This afternoon, I went to Modbury for an appointment, and tried some caches on the way.
Found 4 caches today, including Mystery cache, Traditional cache, and Multi cache. All owned by Bob From Elsewhere.
This is the last find for today.
Walked to the listed location, from another cache nearby.
Got the information required. Did the calculation, then drove to the final location.
At the final location, I found the cache in an excellent hidden spot.
Managed to grab the cache container without special tools.
Signed the log, and placed the cache back. No one was around.
Thanks for the Multi cache, Bob From Elsewhere.
A favourite point awarded.
 
28-Jan-23
Retrieved with fingers. No ToTT required.

I found your D2.0/T1.5 Small Multi-Cache called It's: Simple Arithmetic on 27 January 2023. It was find #17556 for me. Thank you Bob From Elsewhere for placing this cache for our enjoyment in the wonderful state of South Australia.

Found during a tour of the northern suburbs in an attempt to clear another patch of metropolitan Adelaide. Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere!
 
09-Oct-22
Out on the bike enjoying a stunning Sunday Spring morning and collecting a few caches along the way
Was a fraction of a second from logging a DNF on this one, when sitting there pondering whether or not I had the right coords, I spotted a likely hidey hole that I didn’t notice before…..bingo
Great hide, gets a favourite point from me

Another adventure in the big smoke with Mattycat mainly northern and northeastern areas today Big Grin, a great day and only one DNF and bonus lab adventure done, once more entering BFE territory one of many for the day, today we walked another stretch of the OBahn walkway collecting a number of caches and solved puzzle caches and this was one of them

Caching here today with Froghoppin.

It's maths the cat did some time ago, but was headed the wrong way, Returned and claimed Big Grin

Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for hiding and maintaining this little cache on our geo-game map Cool

Hunting around, spotting and signing cache logs alone or with family and friends using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck WinkCoolBig Grin Plenty of that luck business actually !!!

Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for germs and bugs !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin
Now there's no real restrictions - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Really good of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting Cool

Thanks heaps for reading all this addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Wink

No luck here
 
16-Mar-22
It might be simple arithmetic but the car GPS insisted that diving along the obahn from Paradise interchange was the best and only way to get to GZ. Even as we pulled up only metres from GZ the GPS still insisted! Nav trouble aside, moxie and I enjoyed a quick stroll along the shared path together after finding the cache in a clever little spot. Thanks bfe
 
15-Mar-22
I visited this cache with bektheraccoon, TFTC Smile
 
30-Jan-22
At the calculated coordinates, we saw something interesting but were still confused. After some exploration, we messaged the CO but it was in hand soon after TFTC
 
25-Jan-22
Did some maths but heading a different way so be back soon Cool
 
19-Jan-22
great find
 
01-Jan-22
Worked out the co-ords a few days ago. Arrived at GZ and after a quick search, spotted something interesting. Neat hiding place TFTC!
 
19-Nov-21
After attending the Early Birds Event this morning, I headed off for a few hours caching in the northern suburbs.

My main targets were some previously solved puzzle caches and some multis. I also managed to complete the Adventure Lab cache at Thorndon Park Reservoir.

Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for the cache.
 
23-Oct-21
There wasn't much happening around the Famous IV's house this afternoon so I headed out to gather a few long solved puzzles around the lower slopes of Black Hill, make a dent in the O-Bahn Walk From Tea Tree Plaza To Paradise series, as well as grab a few other caches along the way. All up 16 were sought, and although the first one was a DNF the rest were located. A great selection of hides in things as diverse as boots, in tree hollows, under old metal, beneath logs and in pipes. A few hides were recycled which made those finds not too onerous. TFTC BFE.
 
17-Oct-21
We walked back to our car and made the short trip to move us closer to this GZ, and to continue to walk along our Sunday path. A clever little hide that had us scratching out heads for a while, but not too hard that the container could not be found Smile TNLNSL TFTC

Made the find with Csaba! and SupaOrange. Turtle Out

Small hands made this a quick find. Tra La Laaa

Had the numbers before I left the house with the Supa's. Quick find with their help. Thanks
 
02-Jul-21
It was down to a mere drizzle this morning when I stopped on the way to work.

I'd already worked the numbers and I think I've been here before.

No muggles on a day like today.

Out of the car and back in without getting too wet.

Simple arithmetic eh ??
I'll believe it when I see it Razz

Yet, after a bit of mumbling later,
I had a sensible set of coords to ride to Big Grin

A very neat cache hide [^]

Found with HeapsGoodTom, TFTC.

Found it with Waffles2183. Almost gave up, then went in for a final feel and got it in my hands. TFTC

The usual Wednesday wander by the befuddled animals had the Adder, Rat and Starfish re visiting the north east suburbs seeking a number of hides that had been published since our last visit. A quick calculation and the hidey hole was located, now to retrieve the little critter. As the Adder headed back to the car for a suitable TOTT the starfish managed the task by other means. Signed and replaced. Thank you for the placement of the It's: Simple Arithmetic cache Bob From Elsewhere find number 7720 at 21 April 2021 11:32 am

I had almost all of March away from caching to concentrate on the Garden. Surprised Time to get back to working towards my goals for the year.Razz Also Time to get back into the regular Wednesday Wandering again. [^] Today myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats headed out on a BFE rampage. Last puzzle meeting night we had worked on all the new BFE puzzles and decided it was high time to go and find them all - and his multi caches, trads and even the lab cache series. Wink The other two having already found some whilst I was in the garden completed all that was required to get the Rat to TBFEN. Surprised Unfortunately we didn't have time to revisit 3 so I could get there and an early DNF on a BFE meant that would be impossible anyway. Twisted I ended up with 3 DNF's today - so much for goal number 3! Surprised

Deja vu has hit us once more and we knew exactly where to look - or more correctly feel for the cache. Mmmm. Did I give this classic hide a FP in a previous life? Apparently not......must have been having a grumpy day. Time to rectify that with this version. [:X]

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)]

Three Geo animals met up for a Wednesday wander.
I had done the adventure labs a while ago.
Today seemed to be a BFE cache day.
Had found the numbers and done the calcs a few weeks back.
Today was the day to find this one.
The Starfish persisted until he retrieved the cache. Tftc
 
17-Apr-21
Sorted the numbers and parked at the recommended spot (but there are closer places) Wink.
Managed to retrieve the container using fingers [8].

Thanks for another one Bob.

I can do this maths. A nice walk around the area with the tribe.

Thanks for the cache BFE. Nice easy find after a solve a few weeks ago. Waited out the muggles and won the prize. Your caches are so nice to find
 
10-Apr-21
Found It!
I visited WP1, found the numbers and then off to GZ which is a place I have visited quite recently to find a cache there. So I knew exactly where to look today and it was a quick find!
TFTC
 
09-Apr-21
After the disappointment of a thwarted FTF close to work in Port Adelaide I continued with my evening plans to find a multi and a puzzle for my calendars.
Had previously solved this one so all that was needed was a visit to GZ and retrieval.
I remember being here before with JJ52.

Owl remembers not needing to use a TOTT last time she was here. Takes nimble fingers and patience but she still doesn't need a TOTT!

Deja Vu. This time the muggle man was not sitting in place and I did not have to wander away for a muggle retreating period. This time the cache could be found in the first place we felt. 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. Nice views.

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.

Out on the bike today to target some new O-Bahn caches. Found some numbers and did some arithmetic and then on to GZ. Fancy I’ve been here before! Actually this is geowifes favourite location to view the water before it was recently opened. Had to wait for a passing muggle, before getting on my knees with a TOTT! Smile TNLN SL Thanks for the cache BFE.
 
24-Mar-21
I had just attended an early morning brekky event out north so I thought I would come and find a few new caches out this way while I was reasonably close. [^]
I was able to do the simple arithmetic from the comfort of home so I knew exactly where I would have to go and where the cache would be. Wink
A case of deja vu as I walked towards GZ then a quick find and stamp. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache BFE. Smile
 
18-Mar-21
It was simple. Too simple. I over thought it for one whole nano second. I then wondered if BFE was ok. I wondered for a whole nano second. I moved on...

Thanks Bob From Elsewhere and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!
 
18-Mar-21
Another great BFE cache. I wish his puzzles were this easy. Thanks for today’s multi.
 
11-Mar-21
We managed to turn simple arithmetic into complicated maths. Found ourselves on the wrong side of the tracks, redid the calculations and came up with another answer. Checked with another cacher to confirm our thoughts and then found ourselves on the right side of the track to make a find in a clever spot. Carried a TOTT but didn't need it. Thanx
 
11-Mar-21
The arithmetic was so simple, it was done from home.
Co-ords spot on and cache found and retrieved without tools.
TNLNSL
Thanks
 
09-Mar-21
On the way home from work I made a short detour at the posted coordinates to grab the required info. Then proceeded to the final.

Quite a few walkers around making the most of the great weather. I took a seat and started fishing. Retrieved without problems.

Thanks for the cache It's: Bob From Elsewhere.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Well once again I was busy when this was published so had to wait until an appropirate moment.
Thia morning IO was out and about and quickly called in and yes the arithmetic was simple. Got coordinates that once again looked very familiar.
Headed to GZ (drove) and as I wandered over, that feeling of Bobja Vu once again appeared. Went straight to the hide and the Bobja Vu kicked in again. Last time I had several ettempts to actually get the cache and the same happened this time, although for different reasons.
Finally got the cache out, signewd the log and then replaced it all as found.
Gratias pro cache Bob from elsewhere
 
We were excited to see a virgin log book when we arrived at 1452. The cache had been published at 1402 and we were sure that the FTF would have been gone by the time we got there. What a quiet little area this is. Clever hide, but no TOTT needed for us today. *FTF* Thanks for placing this cache for us to find, Bob!

After an FTF in Mawson lakes I came to find this one, after some simple maths I drove around to YZ to a familiar area. When is this archiving/republishing going to end? As I arrived I found Ttrog who had fat finger a number and was a bit from GZ, after finding the previous cache here in the same spot the cache was found and STF was ours.
TFTC
 
04-Mar-21
Wasn't far off heading for a medical appointment when this one came out so decided that the FTF hunt was out of the question. But after the appointment checked and saw it was still unlogged so had to come for a look. It would seem that even simple arithmetic is beyond me as after crunching the numbers and taking a short walk I was looking in not quite the right place when gridge98 arrived and made a quick find in a structure I was about to head to. My excuse is that my answer had 42 in it so it had to be THE correct answer.
Thanks to Bob From Elsewhere for one I could almost handle [B)]
