Nice puzzle!Great coords lead to a quick find today.TFTC

Well I learned a new skill today! The geocaching tool box what an interesting idea thanks to the CO for the very very helpful hint. I also apparently need new glasses as I missed the cache the first time. Signed and returned Tftc

All ready to be found again If you had already solved, you will need to resolve for the new coordinates.

Location now accessible, will place a replacement in a few days

Works nearing completion

Still unavailable, works looks like they are nearing completion

Apparently the cage has been removed, will visit soon and assess if this one can be re-instated

Cache is currently unavailable due to ongoing works. They should be completed soon

No change at GZ

Still caged

Still caged

works happening here, this one might need to be archived, will see what happens here

Fun. Did it with a friend who I ran into. He found it before so he told me where it was.

A quick drive-by, stamp and return

After a day wandering way down south, but running out of time to do any caches. On my way home, swung by and picked up Cheezel1961. Came by this one and made a nice find.

We noticed this puzzle as we passed through Sempahore this morning. It didn't take long to solve and we soon had coordinates for GZ. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks doineedthis for the puzzle and cache.

out after the COs event with Allister w collecting some west caches before the big one tonight.
TFTC

Good one ️

Thanks for the cache!

Pineapplegoldy and AUSSIESPARKIE is at it again. Was a great winters day to get out side and find some caches!

A day off work and the sun is shining so a geocaching fix was in order. My morning was spent around the Port Adelaide and North Haven area.

A number of geocaches found and signed before grabbing some lunch in Port Adelaide. Then spent some time doing the Adventure Labs nearby.

Thanks for the cache doineedthis.

A quick find while in the area. Fortunately my time at GZ was muggle free despite it being lunch time.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache doineedthis.

With a little bit of help from our friend. Thanks Yes you need this

I had flags going everywhere this morning. Waived in the right order and the coordinates were retrieved. TFTC

Day out with Wal & Ol. Thanks to Wal for the solve, TFTC!

New Year's Day out with Pony1966. Found, street was busy, GZ not so much

TFTC

found after the I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream event with mogni, allister and the mini maker. quick find.

A quick find with sir_spectre and Allister W after attending a nearby event.
Thanks

Found this one after attending a nearby ice cream event. TFTC doineedthis

We are staying in Semaphore for a week and so I solved this in preparation for travel. It was a bit cold and wet today so there were not too many people about. The find took less time than I expected, being in about the second place I looked. Thanks doineedthis

5th find today

A nice quick find while dodging the showers. Nice and sheltered here.

Thanks for the cache doineedthis.

Find #15379.

Found by Olga at 3:01 pm in the likely spot.

Might’ve been off a few degrees, solved the riddle but could find no cache

The first time we tried to grab this cache during the summer it was extremely busy at GZ and a nearby street musician was having an argument with one the locals who was complaining about the noise Today, with the cooler weather and less therefore less traffic it was a slightly easier exercise TNLNSL TFTC

Zig-Zagging my way from Henley Beach to Clare for the much anticipated 20th anniversary of the June Long Weekend Event, this was my second stop.
The puzzle here was elementary my dear Doctor Watson but it has taken me quite some time to finally make a stop at GZ. With drizzle falling there were few muggles around and the logbook was swiftly signed.

Tftc doineedthis

Tyftc! Found on trip thru semaphore

A day out finding previously solved mysteries and multies.

An easy find, just had to wait for a muggle free moment to return cache to it's hiding spot. TFTC

TFTC. Took a guess at the direction. Took a guess on GZ. Guessed right. Left baby lid

After being advised by the CO that the cache had been replaced, I finally had the chance to return today.

Was in the area to pick up some showdown snacks after work.

Finally good to have made a find again, I took some time off from geocaching for personal reasons and to get use to a change of circumstances.

After waiting a while for some muggles to clear, I saw a chance and took it. No one spotted me so the mission was successful.

However, I had to make the walk of shame back to the car to grab a pen.

Leaving a favourite point for the puzzle and cache.

Good to have more caches appearing out on the peninsula.

Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Thanks to doineedthis for this cache.

Find No.646
01/04/2022

All ready to be found again

Replaced and ready to go

️ Muggled, back soon

Was out with a friend nearby when I remembered I had solved this puzzle last month, so I went to go grab it.

Unfortunately, I found no cache. I was against the clock and ran out of time.

Couldn't have the full look around like I usually could.

I redid the calculations to make sure I was in the right spot, and I got the same coordinates.

I will return for this one in the next few days to try again.

Found during a tour of the western coastal suburbs. Solved the puzzle a while ago in preparation for the day. Thanks for the puzzle and cache doineedthis!

Solved ages ago but nearby for dinner so made a quick find. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.

Thanks for arranging and hiding.  Good to be having a look around the area.  Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird.

Found while caching with Wollaston and Liz&Bruce.

Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out and maintaining hides and showing us your special part of the world

A trio of befuddled Geo animals decided to go a wandering.
Our trio consisted of a Rat, a Starfish and an Adder.
We decided to target around the Port.
It was a warm but windy day.
This puzzle was a quick easy solve.
We quickly located the hide.
Once the log was stamped, it was replaced.
A lot of laughs were had today. Tftc

Back to Wednesday Wandering for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. We gathered at the Rat Nest and myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats headed out for a day of caching in and around Lefevre Peninsular. Except for one cache that is currently off line and 1 DNF we managed to find all we looked for. As usual there were a few laughs, a picnic lunch and these are the caches we found [B)]

The puzzle was a quick solve. [^] GZ was a bit of muggle central but we managed to make a find without too much trouble. Poor Bill Posters - still being prosecuted although he was innocent in my eyes.

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

I had to head out to Grange today, so thought I’d make a day of it and take the opportunity to find a few caches, including this one. Thanks doineedthis for the puzzle and the cache.

It was a lovely day today so I thought I would go for a drive down to Outer Harbour and collect a few caches along the way. Had a lovely drive and a few small walks, it was great to be out in the sunshine. [^]

I solved this one when it was first published and today was the perfect opportunity to come and find the cache. I had to wait out some muggles but then it was a quick find and stamp and I was on my way.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache doineedthis.

Spent a really pleasant afternoon caching on the Lefevre Peninsula and this was one of the caches found before dropping in to visit some friends in the area.
Had done the head work on this appropriately named one soon after it came out but wasn't until today that I was in the area with some to spare.
Thanks to doineedthis for putting out this cache for me to find.

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

Fond memories of waving these flags around with scouts last century.
Thank glob for mobile phones. Urgent messages must have been risky!
A busy gz, but a quick find nonetheless when muggles moved on past.


Many thanks to doineedthis for hiding this cache on our SA geo map game board

Geocaches are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about especially away from the city crowds,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Found with Team waldron. Nice easy find. TFTC

Out and about with Trail06 for the morning.

Time to clean up the peninsular.

All caches were in good order.

A quick find. I was filled with trepidation but it was easily found. Noone cared what we were up to.

Tftc

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Saw this one as I was trolling the map in the area and quickly solved the puzzle and got some coordinates that looked logical. Into the TBF queue till the right moment.
Today I was running errands towards this side of town and extended the drive to this part of town to locate a cache or two. Drove to GZ after finding a couple of other nearby caches and parked as close as possible. Wanderd to GZ and went straight to the hide as GZ had been checked using one of the geocachers tools. Located the cache in the first place I looked. Gotta love that. Extracted the log, stamped and then replaced as found, all muggle free, which was quite surprising.

After a enjoyable wander along the PATOG series for about 12 kms with Mattycat we turned our attention to a few on the peninsula, targeting the solved mysteries and collecting info for Letterbox caches and a few multis, this one was a quick find at GZ between waiting for the odd muggle to move along, puzzle was a quick solve having ahd a few of these before

Sunny afternoon stroll along semaphore with a bit of geocaching to boot. TFTC, fun puzzle to solve to get the location, cheers.

I had solved this a few weeks back, and the little blue dot rested there until I was next in the neighbourhood. I was out today collecting the new ones that had popped up in the region. This was an opportunity to practice the art of stealth, and lots of techniques were employed. Thankfully the cache was positioned in a very logical spot and the grab was quick and smooth. Signing duties were performed and it was back without anyone noticing.

Thanks for the cache and the challenge of the puzzle doineedthis.

A quick find dodging muggles after lunch at the nearby Exeter hotel with golfing buddies. Thank you for the placement of the Semaphore cache doineedthis find number 8072 on 18 July 2021 at 3:15 pm

Another mystery solved and another skill learnt.

A brisk, chilly early morning stroll to pick this one up.

TFTC Keep smiling

Found after picking up some fish and chips after an afternoon at Henley. Nice easy find and cache in great condition. TFTC.

Some stealth needed! Great adventure.... a favourite!

Found It!
I solved this one without too much trouble despite making a few errors along the way. One of the weird things about Adelaide is that all the supermarkets close at 5pm on Sundays. Usually that rule is just annoying, but it does make finding this cache quite easy if you go there at 5:30pm!
TFTC

Driving home from working overnight, provided me with a great opportunity for a quick, muggle free find at GZ. Thanks doineedthis for the puzzle and cache.

Today I headed out to collect a few new caches around the north areas.

Saw this puzzle come out so sat down and did the solving which too awhile to crunch the flags. Finally I had a solution.

Hate these locations where there are so many people around but I managed to find the cache and sign and replace as found

TFTC

A few flags could have come in handy at GZ so I could have hidden from the muggles. Yes, flag waving in the opposite direction could have come in handy. Luckily a fire engine came Hurtling down the street which go everyone's attention. Bingo. Cache in hand. No smoke that I could see so all the better. Perhaps someone had locked themselves in a lift. Who knows. The fire engine went back the other way with no party lights so all good. I moved on.

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

Solved relatively easily, albeit tediously.
Stopped by GZ this morning, under cover of darkness for a quick find.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Now about these muggles you are employing in the vicinity of your cache. Can you get them to go elsewhere? Yesterday's muggle must have been paid bonus money to hang around in the windy cold weather. He just would not go away. I could see the cache but I could not reach for it.

Today it was muggle city again. You must be paying them all good coin. This time I headed to the library to find a better pen. This time the dodgy pen from yesterday was not working at all.

Fresh pen in hand I doe see doed between one muggle and another. A quick grab and the cache was mine. Signed the log and looked around. More muggles. Where did that mob come from. Fortunately they were more interested in shopping and parking than the poor cacher with something to replace.

W00t!!

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

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 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.

Some creative muggle deception techniques were required here. Fortunately they were all otherwise engaged and Owl was able to swoop in. Nice easy puzzle, so thanks. And silver was an unexpected bonus.

Joint **FTF** with conardel. Woooo! First ever mystery FTF and 2nd FTF for the day, how exciting! We just arrived home and saw that no one had found it yet so we quickly got our notebooks out to start solving it. Thanks for the cache doineedthis

Joint **FTF** with my daughter Webberg. We solved this together after a lovely dinner at Spice and Ice. First ever Mystery FTF. Thanks for the cache!!
