Game Set and Match #81 - Yorketown YP Yorketown, South Australia, Australia
By OZGrumpy on 23-Apr-22. Waypoint GC9RT13

Found it didn't sign it!

Challenging!

Found it.No log here what a joke!I replaced papers with permission by CO.All good here.TFTH

Tftc. We got it.

With a lack of fish in the ocean and the windy weather making it uncomfortable for interstate foreigners on the water, decided to head to Yorketown to tick off a few multis and other assorted caches. This trad had an interesting DT and since we were in the neighbourhood it was worth a stop. Upon arriving at GZ a TOTT would have helped but I was fresh out of any TOTT to assist. So it was some MacGyvering and a tree climb that extracted the cache. Thanks OZGrumpy for placing this trad.

We stopped here between showers. The rain had stopped but the wind was howling through the trees. According to the BOM site the temperature was 10C and feels like 1C. Agggghhh...Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Freyja's Day the nineteenth of Julius Caesar's Month in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a cool cloudy and raining. No wind today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

I think the tree where it was fell down and its gone

Cache replaced on 10 March. Different placement to help longevity. Change of DT to suit the current hide.

Cache ready to go. Many thanks to Brad&Janet for making this possible. Cool creation on the run.

A check is required, might not be until the new year. Sorry for the inconvenience

Is a good one

Great find

After not finding a cache nearby we were very pleased to pop over to this one and make the find, always like finding the GSaM caches.Over in Yorketown on our way to the other side of the Peninsula and thought we had time to stop for a few caches along the way. No one about today which made for a leisurely find with no pretend photo taking reqiuired.Thanks OZGrumpy for the cache.

Found with our nephews. Tftc!

Found a lunch trip to Yorktown with Desertfox41 and our better hall's. TNLNSL Thanks.

It’s a good place

More of our annual birthday caching trip, Purrfect Di, Mattycat and Jack too coming along for the ride...
This year we've cleaned out Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park and then some surrounds. Something I started back on new year's eve 2012/2013 with two of my sons!

Now we're expanding across some of the peninsula's foot. While also sightseeing and relaxing a little too!

The weather has been quite mild for January, only one snake sighting, some emus, a roo, foxes, bunnies, and two bulls on the roads! All making for a fun trip.

And... we found your caches. Signed the logs. Made the smileys on the map .

Lucky choice of trees for the cache to hide under ! ! !

Much thanks to OZGrumpy for planning and maintaining this cache on our ever growing SA cache map!

Travelling all over wherever we can - searching, spotting hidden items and signing cache logs 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 a guess or plain old dumb luck
Heaps of the luck stuff really !!!

*Most of the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course*.**

Beware ! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, floodwaters, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside


Great of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

We do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...

Quick find, all dry. TFTC

Tennis players and bowls club groundsmen all around but I found it.

While doing cache maintenance with earthlight we decided to get few more smileys on our map .
Nice quick find and we were on our way
Tftc

Doing a maintenance run so The X-Trailers and I took slight detour to locate your cache. All ok andcanother in series found
TFTC

It might be getting lonely - just lost a neighbour in the storm. Good thinking with the container. TFTC.

Back in Ardrossan for harvest work. Still a little early for the season so just out for a drive today collecting a few caches along the way. Even had time to fit in lunch at the Melville Hotel in Yorketown.

TFTC OZGrumpy

My grandson has found that geocache

Staying in the Yorketown caravan park, so a short stroll to gz. The container was quickly located. We appreciated the extra effort in container design which allowed easy removal of the log. Tftc

Found by Olga and with Luna at 11:15 am

out and about on a lovely sunny long weekend

Quick easy find with Beary Organised, this one wasn't here when we did the rest of the Town. TFTC TNLNSL

Quick easy find with CherryRose while holidaying at Point Turton TFTC TNLNSL A Favourite Point because it was well presented and I think will last well.

Tftc staying at caravan park noice lil walk! Looked suspicious!

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

A good day was had while grabbing these caches
Thanks for placing them

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Love the extra cylinder in this container. Something easier to get log out.

Easy find. Great hunt

Nice place

A couple of hours caching towards and in Yorketown.

A nice walk around town brought us to this cache. After waiting for a dog walker to pass by we quickly found and signed the cache.

Many thanks for the hide OZGrumpy

Away for a couple of days to try and clean up Yorke Peninsula again.

Only 1 DNF, so I'll have to come back.

All caches found were in good condition.

Thanks to the owners for placing the caches.

TFTC

Another set, and match completed. The tournament director sure does get around!

An unexpected chance to get away so I did. The YP always makes you smile even if the wind is seemingly from deepest south.

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

Thank you

Found it, what fun!

Stopped by today, after setting up camp, to complete the match.
Spotted a car TB sticker on way out, so stopped.
Ended up chatting with iluvtrekking, richlink, and Shandyk.... a mini event!
TNLNSL
Thanks

A very chilly and wet day out caching with iluvtrekking. After doing the Gone Fishin series we collected others along the route. Thanks for the hide OzGrumpy

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. Our first day on the YP and time to Go Fishn and pick up other caches along our route. TFTC.

Found on a morning walk with Geodog - staying at nearby caravan park - TFTC

After failing on the nearby gun success was restored in the shape of a game set and match cache.
Found with Cybergran

After having no joy on the nearby cannon feathertop was delighted to locate this one much quicker. Thanks for this series of my favourite sport OzGrumpy

Quick find. Thank you.

We arrived in Yorketown today and after setting the caravan up at the caravan park we headed over to find this cache. It was found exactly where our GPS told us to look. SL TFTC

Heading to Yorkes for my birthday weekend, just 2 weeks late due to COVID. May is always a difficult caching month I’ve now spent 5.5 weeks in Different mays being detained.
Had a half day from work so found a few caches on my way to my accommodation in Coobowie.
Thanks to all the COs.
Nice quick find here TFTC OzGrumpy

Cache #11510
Headed over to the Yorke Peninsula with the Rat today on another Tuesday Mystery Meander, hoping for a FTF, or three. Found quite a few Used 2Bs and Game Set and Matches, as well as an AdLab that's been waiting for far too long for me to do. After the main aims were achieved kept on caching until dark by finding a few more on the Gone Fishn' trail. A good day with good weather, good luck and good company.
Thanks to OZGrumpy for putting out this cache for us all to find.

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

Yay, time for a Tuesday Mystery Meander with ttrogg.
We started from the Rat's den.
Then we meandered over to the Yorkes, for a day of caching and fun.
We found a variety of caches.
A quick find and stamp of the logbook. TFTC

Staying a couple of nights in Ardrossan for a geocaching trip in multiple towns across the Yorke Peninsula, with a few new hides along the way.

Day 2: The main day of Goldy's trip gaining some smileys in southern Ardrossan, then visiting the towns and localities of James Well, Pine Point, Port Julia, Port Vincent, Yorketown, Minlaton, Curramulka, Sheaoak Flat, Tiddy Widdy Beach, Paskeville, Willamulka, Alford, Kadina and Cunliffe.

Goldy's first multiple day trip for the primary mission of finding and hiding caches was a good one. 63 caches found by 26 different COs, 875+ kilometres driven, 21 towns visited and 14 caches hidden.

I just had lunch with my grandparents, coincidently it turns out we were both visiting the Yorke Peninsula at the same time. After dropping them off back at the caravan park I made the journey over for another find.

Cache quickly located here.

Signed with stamp.


Caches found with assistance from Goldy's geocaching box, containing various items such as tools of the trade, containers, spare log books and zip lock bags of various sizes.

Tweezers, torches and a magnetic grabber tool are always on hand for necessary cache retrieval.

As well as a first aid kit and gloves for when things get messy.



pineapplegoldy acknowledges the Narangga people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which I geocache today, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.



Thanks OZGrumpy for this cache.

Having come to Yorketown for re-supply we mozeyed around for a spot of caching.
The cache was well covered.
Thanks OZGrumpy.

Published

Still being over on Yorke Peninsula for a few more days and keeping an eye out for newly published caches, I was very happy to see a couple of new dots on the map very soon after publication. Just a short drive from Wool Bay yielded two more *FTF* caches for the trip. Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy!
