TFTC. Down in Adelaide for some medical appointments & calisthenics comp . What else to do with spare time?? Cache of course! Happy caching and safe travels!
Today out and about on 199 of 274 days to get my daily cacher Emerald Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC
Hahahaha. Revenging my embarrassing non find last visit. I will never live this one down. The CO gets the joke but I have a few of these hides and should have known much better. What to look forward to after 2 megas within 4 weeks of each other, a BLOCK PARTY in Sydney, Australia Day 2025. https://coord.info/GCACHF8Gotta love a smiley face on the map. Thankyou for placing and maintaining it.
Out on a quiet Sunday night passing through on our way home from grabbing some tea. Quick find. TFTC
I was looking for a walk to do today and ideally wanted a series to complete. I scrolled across this walk and thought it would be a great place to start... now, sure, I was only in Adelaide for 2 days, and I somehow chose to do a walk in the industrial area, as opposed to a beautiful nature walk, however, I had a great time completing the walk.This one was a nice quick find. In the first place, I thought to look. TFTC and the adventure
Found this with CherryRose on a cold and damp wintery day. All good with the cache. TFTC TNLNSL
Out to find a few caches. I knew it would be busy with trucks everywhere. Suggest a weekend or public holiday would be the best time to cache. Once again good title. TFTC
One of many found this evening with weredunn4, thanks for placing this fun cache for us. TFTC
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was running an errand a little to the SW and on the way home made the detour in to finish this Lunch Walk series. Drove to the area and parked at GZ and wandered over and spotted the cache as I approached. With a muggle trucker parked close by and watching me I had to be extra stealthy. Finally the opportunity to grab the cache arose. Signed the log and then replaced as found.

Quick trip after lunch into the north western suburbs netted 5 caves from the Lunch Walk and Used 2B a Church series. All caches in good condition with spot on coordinates. TFTC
One of seven delightful caches; located unexpectedly in Wingfield. I managed the full circuit on foot, which is what I imagine the CO does on nice days like today. I suspect that lunch hour was over when I started my round. Fun working out the link with the film, and in some instances, guessing the container.
I’ve been to the island, but I haven’t seen the film. I correctly guessed what I’d be looking for here.
A nice piece of work, thanks Michells&hound

So I asked Meggs what she wanted to do for Mothers day....Cache of Course!!! OOh and somewhere nice for lunch.. So we headed out toward the Port area to grab some caches and have Lunch!! Not sure what the clue meant but we spotted the hide on arrival and saw a MASSIVE road train pulling into the premises across the road...longest that we have ever seen! TFTC
I was very excited to see this series pop up very close to one of my work places Found quickly at lunchtime Tftc
Put the ute in for a service & new tyres. Organised a day of caching with earthlight.
Another quick find, got to sit for a few seconds

This morning, I had an appointment in Mansfield Park. After the appointment, I tried some caches in that area. Tired 8 caches, including traditional caches, multi cache, and mystery cache, and luckily found all 8.
This cache was the fifth find for today.
Parked not far from GZ. Searched around, and find the cache. Another easy one, with no need to reveal the hint. And by the way, I cannot understand the hint. Another secret language or slang?
Signed the log sheet. Now the log sheet is full. Maybe next cacher can squeeze their name on the log sheet, but possibly no more.
Thanks for the "Lunch Walk" cache series, Michells&hound.

After conducting some business further south, we decided to follow this series around on our way back home .
All found in numerical order [^].
Surprising how many businesses are open around here on a Saturday afternoon . TNLNSL.

We came to the north of Adelaide today to look for a couple of puzzles that we had solved. With that task successfully completed, we saw the Lunch Walk series, we decided to tackle the seven caches and two others in the area, pausing part way through for our lunch.
Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Michells&hound for the enjoyable mini-series.

Found during a caching foray into the northern suburbs after the early event this morning. Thanks for the cache Michells&hound!
Found it just the male duo today, out getting in some early steps. Decided to turn a lunch walk in to a just after breakfast badlands walk. Stamped as The Brown Family

A great afternoon out with Blackadders collecting some of the traditional caches around the Port Adelaide and Semaphore areas. Fantastic way to explore this new hobby, with expert advice and guidance!
Really appreciate the efforts made by those hiding their treasures, TFTC!

A morning run picking up a few that had already been found by other members of the group but where the Adder was unable to join. Then meeting a Starfish after lunch to continue seeking newer hides in areas that had previously been cleared.
Another quick find dodging muggles.

Found on my way home after getting my fix of Old Time Rock and Roll at the Port Plaza.

Headed west today with the main aim being to drive around and find the new Lunch Walk series. It grew to seven yesterday and I'm guessing is now complete. All were found and had my stamp added to their log.
A quick find thanks to good co-ords.
Thanks to Michells&hound for this cache and the nice little series.

A caching day had been organised with Doctor Owl to come down and find this series and then continue on to find some others that have popped up between here and North Haven. We had a successful day finding all caches that we looked for and even managed lunch in a nice cafe at Semaphore. [^]
And another one done and dusted in the logical spot.

Fortunately no escape was required today. Thanks Michells&hound for this lunchtime geohunt, though makingpie and I were not walking the route. Should have been, but weren't.
Only S.A. Sewer Rats and Myself out for a Befuddled Wednesday Wander today so we didn't do too many puzzles until we had more of the crew aboard. However that still left plenty as we hit St. Kilda, Le Fevre Peninsular for the new Mint Tins, the Lunch Time Walk Series and any others we might be passing . As you do.
Walked past GZ heading for the likely looking stump. Oops it is behind us now. Oh There.
Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again I will trying to get the other two this year. [^] Should be easy as I only have to get two multi caches in July from the lockdown and couldn't get out. [:o)] The other was DNF's that came down from over 50 to the low teens before blowing out again but I really want to see only single a single digit this year.

Time for a Wednesday wander.
The Starfish picked up the Rat from the Rat den.
We headed east from the port.
Stopped by here to this series.
A quick find for the duo of Geo-animals. TFTC

Now the King told the boogie man
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The Sheik, he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a-standin'
On the radiator grille (ow!)
Sharif don't like it

The cache was quickly found in 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.
I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.
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.
Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Not much walking so far today... the chariot is doing the hard yards.
Found all 4 of these easily and quickly, whilst dodging the many multi wheeled versions...

Looking around every day finding and signing using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, 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 Plenty of that actually!!!

Please do stay as safe as possible when caching.
Keep a lookout for bogs, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]
Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now everything's opening more - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!
Much appreciation 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
Thank you for reading all this addition to the log word count!
Into the second month of Twenty Twenty Too Enjoy!!!

I rocked on and cached the cache. If work is Alcatraz, I would not go back after lunch. Did BFE own these street [?] Impressive.
Thanks to Michells&hound and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]
This morning seeing a new TB become live I decided to try and go get it to then realise that it had already been found. Since I was in the area I decided to stop by these 3 caches to make quick finds on all of them. Keep them coming
Thanks for the cache

Well today life's been taking its TOLL as I've just found out that my son S2 is in hospital with pneumonia. Thanks Michells&hound for the set of 4 hides.
Quick find with a muggle mate!!! Just as we were leaving the CO sped up and said Gday!!!! Thanks for the hide!!!
Picking up furniture this morning with help from Jolly0 and just had to setup and get some caches in the way back home. Nice easy one on this stinky, hot, humid day.
I was out this evening, doing nothing in particular. No, still not telling.
I have been grounded for 3 days recovering from my booster, still feeling fuzzy. There is nothing like finding a cache or two to lift one's spirits. My, you do walk a long way on your lunch break. It is surprising how many businesses here are still working at 8.30pm.
Thanks for the cache Michells&hound, I got my knees into the dirt and found what I was after. Yay, STF even after 3 days.
