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 this series.Spotted this one on my approach to GZ. I had to wait a little while to collect this one as a truck pulled up close by, and I waited for the driver to leave. I quickly retrieved the cache, signed the log, and put everything back before anyone else stopped by.TFTC and the stroll

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 close to GZ and wandered over and missed the cache on the first pass but quickly located it when having a proper look. Signed the log and replaced as found.

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 started here. A lot going on in this street with a potential earthcache on the corner (see photo) and a few BBB options too.

I don’t know this film!

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!! After a long search we had no luck today. We did notice that the tree had a lot of new 'cuts' so looks like it had been very recently trimmed...

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 fourth find for today.
Parked almost at the listed location. Took only seconds to find the cache. No need for hint. But not always quick find for other caches in this "Lunch Walk" cache series.
Signed the log sheet, and placed it back.
Thanks for the "Lunch Walk" cache series, Michells&hound.

Thanks for the cache Michells&hound. Found at 3.18pm on a stunning Sunday, yes, Sunday I think it is. Now I have to go back and change the log on the last cache. Found quickly and in good condition. Doesnt take long for the signatures to line up, room for around 10 more. Find #6350.

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 with grandson Alfie and also met Featherweight and Team Waldron at the cache. Thanks for placing this cache.

TFTC. Quick grab. Thanks for the extra caches added to this series. Left baby lid
 
03-Mar-22
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.

Arriving at GZ there had to be a semi parked right next to the hide, typical. Off to get another of the series then returned to find the truck had gone. A few minutes of searching and the prize was in hand.


Thank you for the cache Michells&hound, found 3/03/2022, 11:36:52 AM

Today I risked the [Walk on the Wild Side](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6fayQBm9w) in familiar BFE territory my first to the Bad Lands for a year.

Thanks Michells&hound for the cache

It's Fine Elsewhere

The main reason for risking the trip west today was to attend a lunchtime busking concert outside the Commercial Road Entrance of the Port Plaza Shopping Centre.

[Old Fart Busker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuZhFuPEt8g)

He often busks for a charity he supports at the shopping centre on Friday 12 to 2 pm and at the Port Lighthouse on Sundays.
Support him if you can and tell him Bob sent you.

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.
I've been know to dislike this style of hide but this one was where right where expected.
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. [^]

Found the right tree and soon after the cache was spotted. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache Michells&hound. Smile

Hopped out with Jack and Sebastbat to join with Mr froghoppin for some caching around the city and suburbs. A big day out for us country types. So many cars, so many people, but yay... so many caches!

Easily spotted by headlights - the tree of life was a fitting end to a caching day!

We can see this series growing... like the tree!

Thanks heaps to Michells&hound for hiding and maintaining this cache on our SA geo game map Cool

Moving around each and 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 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 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 any old bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin
Now everything's opening more - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Heaps of 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 Cool

Thank you for reading all this addition to the log word count!

Now well into the second month of Twenty Twenty Too Twisted Enjoy!!!

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. Razz 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 .Razz As you do. Wink

Time for a lunch walk - err drive!. Quick stop , quick find. Smile

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted 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. Cool

I was in the area of truth this morning exchanging some samples for other samples. The cache Lunch Walk #4 - Escape from Alcatraz was on my agenda. Somewhat belatedly I noticed that there was another Lunch Walk published. 10am. And it was still not found. Lunch Walk #4 - Escape from Alcatraz got put on the back burner and there was parking at GZ. Without trucks whizzing past every three seconds.

GZ was a tree. Plenty of tree. The tree cache was found in the last place we looked on the tree. Thanks for placing a tree fun cache guys. We do love your work. We kissed 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.
