Quick find here today on my way past, cache was easily found and is all goodWith a few days off I headed over to the northern Eyre peninsula for a 2 night stay in Whyalla, my main aim for the few days was the FITG and the FTF trail plus finding a few caches here and there along the way. Just under 300 caches found for the trip. Thanks for the cache

Certainly stands out once you realise you need to find something. TFTC 2SGSG, good reason to break the drive.

Nearly went past it, too busy looking at the truck. Tftc

Cheers for the cache

I have seen bigger yellow trucks and very big white truck.

Heading east after one mintue of moon shadow. This is one of stops on a long journey.

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on a geo-guided tour.

Looks like the brief warm weather had gone and rain ️ is in the way so we are out with iluvtrekking grabbing finds while we can remain dry. It’s seen better days for sure. Thanks 2SGSG

while wandering through the area on our way to somewhere else we grabbed this cache with sewthat

Quick find, now we back on the highway...

Thanks

We decided to load up the camper and run away from home for a week or two. The rain and a domestic water repair made us change our plans a few times but it didn't detract from the fun. We met quite a few people and learnt a lot from them - we were privileged to be shown a dugout at Coober Pedy and station life at Edeowie. We also found time to find a few caches, but we still have many unfound in the areas visited. Looking forward to returning to the upper north of South Australia one day soon.
Thank you to all those who helped make our trip very enjoyable.

Cheers and tftc

Away for a few days with Featherwaite and Team Astro.

The plan was to get all the whyalla caches as well as the FTF series and the FITG caches.

Nearly got them all, just a few left for next time.

That is a big truck.

TFTC

Reminds me of my Tonka toys…

A fun find with Team Waldron and FeatherWaite on a trip from Adelaide to Whyalla and “around”.

Thanks 2SGSG and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Found in the company of TeamAstro and Team Waldron on our way to Whyalla and surrounds for a few days. A quick stop next to the main road before heading northwards. Thanks for the cache 2SGSG!

TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife LynSteNet

Out on a trip to Port Pirie as geo hubby Animal62 had a follow up appointment at the hospital. On our way home we decided to grab a cache or two, I mean who wouldn’t, at every given opportunity?

In the area so thought to grab a cache and tick off the blue day souvenir. Had a few Tonka trucks and associated machinery to play with as a kid with many an afternoon spent in the sandpit (as the CO would only too well know ) TFTC

Time to make some miles and get home today, finding a few caches along the way [^].
We'd noticed this feature awhile back, so weren't surprised when we saw you'd added a cache .
TNLNSL.
Thanks 2SGSG. Our last for the day .

Thanks

Sir_spectre and I went on a long overdue holiday to the Northern Territory. We had some great experiences and saw some amazing natural wonders. Not all went to plan - covid closures, flood effected roads, renovations, hot weather, some car troubles and not forgetting the huge jump in fuel costs
Any caches that needed repairs were fixed and numeous logs were replaced or added too.
Thanks to 2SGSG from mogni

That is much bigger than a tonka toy. quick find.

Mogni and myself went to the Northern Territory for a 10 day holiday. We drove 5478 kms in those 10 days. The plan was to go up the sturt highway and then go via Ayers Rock, King's Canyon and then through to Alice Springs stopping at the gorges/chasm/gaps along the way. As you can expect nothing goes to plan. Day 1 Adelaide to Cooper Pedy, made it just before the Roxby Downs turn off and blow the side wall on the tyre of the 4x4, 193 km detour just to get a tyre and even then it was the second tyre place that had the tyre the correct size. We had camels come in to the campsite in Erldunda Roadhouse, they even left hoof prints 1/2 a foot from the tent, at King's Canyon we had dingo's come through the camp ground both nights we where there and at Alice springs we had a mouse move in under the tent in their campground. Some of the aboriginal towns we passed where in lock down because of covid 19 so no going in to get fuel there, that changed some plans. The floods where way worse up in Northern Territory than i realised. Some creeks/rivers i could see the debris over 2 meters from the river bed and down one 4x4 track it washed the road away completely, the hole was 3/4 the lenght of the 4x4 and over 6 foot deep. The temp was 33 to 36 for 9 of the 10 days and finally cooled down for the drive home. We got 7 different caches types in the N.T. plus every different cache size. It was a good trip but not the one we planned. To many of the roads in the N.T. where damaged and not repaired ( still closed ) so that cancelled plan A but thats just a excuse to come back isn't it. Come back and see what you missed last time when the roads are fixed. We came with 19 regular " geocaching size " containers and a milk crate of small containers by day 7 all the regulars where used as replaced caches and by day 8 the smalls where gone. It was the UV rays alot more than the floods that killed the caches and almost all the log books where saved, the mirco containers seemed to have constantly full log sheets so they where replaced too.

Hello

Out for our first geo hunt in the Outlander with The Fox, pleasant morning, TNLNSL, Thanks,

Nice cool day picked up Demon41 in the Outlander to do some Caching TNLN thanks

Found on our way home from volunteering at the Truckies Reunion at the Stories from the Road Museum in Port Pirie. It was a great week. TFTC.

Big yellow taxi playing on the radio - spooky! Tftc

out with BBB and seen this one so we decided to stop, tftc.

On the way home from Whyalla, the steel city, home of the rusty mint tin...
exploring places we otherwise may not have been!

Came to your cache on the way home

Glad to find it wasn't a nano on a truck

Much thanks to 2SGSG for placing and maintaining this cache on our SA geo game map

Searching with Purrfect Di and Jack the Monkey, finding 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 Plenty of that luck stuff actually!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

A couple of maintenance assist tasks on the trail caches too. Looked like there had been some extreme weather since we were here last... oh yep, the floods the day after we left!!!

Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, 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
Now everything's opening more - 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

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