Gourmet Geocaching #8 ... Pear Monarto, South Australia, Australia
By CPwanderer on 07-Aug-21. Waypoint GC9ETMP

Late Log - big day wandering around the Monarto Woodlands yesterday. So many steps and followed by a big sleep . Great creative caches Not a fan of pears Thanks CPwanderer for this fun .

Its another stunning Winters morning, clear blue skies and sunny So Ive headed South from Adelaide to do some more caching around the Callington & Monaro areas (still so many caches down this way to find).and what a lovely part of SA it is too.This cache was quickly found and log stamped TFTC

TFTC! Did this series out of order. I had to leave some so I can come back out here again!

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. TFTC CPW.A special thank you must go to CPwanderer who has placed so many quality, hides along kilometres if walking tracks in this area.

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 CPwanderer

Found it! Theres just enough time left to do one more short loop walk to collect a few more caches on the way home. TFTC!

Thankyou for the series it's keeping us busy

After the previous DNF I walked in and easily found the cache safely tucked away under the log.

Didn't see it but was only having a quick glance as I went to the earthcache

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Nice day for a walk.
Thank you for your efforts.

I spent another enjoyable day roaming around the conservation parks surrounding Monarto.

I started with the Gourmet Geocaching trail, then some of the On Safari series, then some of the Walkies trail and then finally finished the day on the Getnict Park trail.

The mosquitoes were quite ferocious in the Walkies trail, so it was more of a run than a walk around to avoid getting eaten alive.

A very enjoyable morning. Lots of walking and lots of well maintained themed caches.

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer.

Today I needed to find a multi cache and six caches to complete loop 11 for my calendar. [^] I had been saving close to home caches for just such a day. In fact I had even been to CP's event and totally ignored these caches.

But today needing six including a Multi I decided on a loop walk to the right accompanied with my older dog Mac who was having an eleventh birthday treat of a long walk away from our new yapping puppy. This was the first and an easy find although Mac decided to take the short cut under the branches making me face plant into them before I could get him to come back and make it easier for me.

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 CPwanderer for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

A nice quick find

Mr & Mrs plus geodog Murphy (minus geokids) were able to escape into the caching world for the first time in months!
Lovely day for a bushwalk. TFTC CPW.

A day out with Featherwaite.

We went to Charlston and Monarto and picked up any others we came across.

We had a pleasant walk around the park picking up caches as we went.

All up probably took just a little over an hour.

Found with Team Waldron during a visit to Charleston Conservation Park, Kanmantoo and Monarto Woodlands. Thanks for the cache CPwanderer!

Got the munchies for a bit of geocaching today. Has been a while. Good to be out again. Cache and contents are all good-Thanks for the cache CP

Found with hevwalker. Headed off from event with hevwalker and Freddo to find the new caches in the area, I grabbed a couple extras along the way as I hadn't ever been here before....I will return to complete the rest at some stage. During the walk our group grew and then shrunk as we met up with others and then went on our own directions again. Great to catchup with everyone and enjoy the cache hunting. Glad we had wet weather gear on as when it rained it wasn't too inconvenient for us, as we stayed dry and warm. Thanks for the excerise and great caches CP.

After CO's event and having completed some of the caches with other geobuddies, scramping & I set about completing this little group here...
A nice wander around the park even if it was a bit on the damp side...
A quickly located cache...

It was cold and wet but when there is a CP event people come. I walked around in the slush and got wet sox but loved it. I think everybody was cold! Four-fun and I trudged around this local area and found what we could in the allocated time. We bumped into the others more than once. Always fun. Gourmet even.


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

Found It!
This was the first cache of my walk to CP's event!

This series left Owl with the munchies, but also a big smile.

Pears are good. so many varieties. My partner does amazing things with them for dessert.

Gourmet caching indeed. I usually bring quite a spread of food for a day out caching. Sometimes there is fruit left over, but its almost guaranteed the chocolate biscuits are all consumed. Today I did not bring the biscuits, and it was an 'all fruit' day. Thanks for the cache, another great placement in a great location. Thanks for the cache and ongoing maintenance.

Accompanied Astro today out to Monarto for CP's annual event. Despite a few showers it was a fun day and a very pleasant stroll in the park
This was one of the fun finds along the way [^]
Cheers and TFTC CPwanderer

One of quite a few found while taking a wander in CPwanderland before and after Cps weather challenged Two Cents Worth event.
Thanks to CPwanderer for putting out this cache for all to find.

After a drizzly start we headed off to attempt the Gourmet Geocaching series.

A nice walk around the woodlands with just two hares spotted. All caches in great condition and easily found.
We dropped in a trackable in the hope that someone can move it along soon.

Many thanks for another interesting series CPwanderer

Another Monday caching, starting at the woods. A nice walk today. Thanks CP.

After meeting CPW earlier in the day it was off for a wander around this feast of new caches.

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.

On the way home these new caches we decided to go for a walk around a loop, great ti find something different compared the earlier day stuff, all the caches were easily found and are all good

Today I headed to Murray bridge with Freddo to complete the two new series: south Australian river and the Australia peaks. Plus a few others in the area before going for a walk near Monarto to find a few of the new series.
All up 128 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

We had decided to return to our planned walk after a very unexpected but enjoyable walk in this reserve but decided on one last Gourmet cache before we left. Mrs Y'stassie was elected to go for the cache after climbing over the fence. A short walk through open bush soon saw her at GZ where she found a well disguised container.

Thanks for this cache CPWanderer. This part of the reserve is quite different to the areas we have been walking in.

Congratulations to Otter61 on an early morning FTF.

*FTF* @ 06:35

One of my favourite fruits. Back for more Gourmet Geocaching at dawn after no takers through the night.

TFTC and series CPwanderer.
