TFTC pineapplegoldy your cache Alford CFS that we found today. Camped at Alford. Decided to head out to Tickera and Wallaroo and then back to Alford. It was tipped to be a scorcher so we did not intend to stay out too long. Hah. Got back to camp after 2pm just as the shade was coming over the Motorhome. A good few hours and all caches attempted found reason ably easily.Last for then day.Find Count: 17740

Decided to do a day trip to Kadina to make a start on the Abandoned Railway Sidings/Stations series, as well as Alford and Tickera on the way. All caches were in good condition unless mentioned otherwise. TFTC

Nothing like a nice easy puzzle to start the day's caching. TFTC

GPS had me running around a bit, found between a rock and a hard place. TFTC

Nice simple multi. Quite a few of these around the State. Quick find in good condition. Tftc

tftc, with jeffner5556, totally stumped

Good chase. Found with Sarge5556. Very enjoyable.

Out with BBB checking on this cache, all good, tftc.

Checked today and found the cache container missing, so an identical container has been placed.

Happy hunting!

Found on maintenance run with Goldy!

Grabbed this one while staying at the towns rv park. Made for an unexpectedly long, but enjoyable walk. Cheers cobber.

Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Quick solve and find on a nice drive in the area

Found during a circuit from Kadina, Alford and along the backroads through to Snowtown after attending the YP Cachers Catchup and YP Cachers CITO 2023 events earlier in the day. Another one in this growing series now crossed off the list! Thanks for the cache pineappleredandbluey!

After wandering around W.A. for the last 3 months, caravanning, caching and hunting wildflowers we are slowly making our way home to Adelaide via Pt Pirie and Wallaroo. Stayed the night in the camping area. Little shop does great Rocky Road Cake and Milkshakes. T.F.T.C.

Back in Ardrossan for harvest work. Still a little early for the season with rain forecast for the coming week, we decided to head to Kadina and surrounds for some caching.

We found your cache today.

TFTC. Day 8 of honeymoon caching trip. Headed in a northerly direction from our base of Wallaroo.

Happy caching and safe travels!

Quick find here today on my way past, cache and contents are all good

Today I headed up to the copper coast for a day out to find a few caches yet to be found plus the new onslaught of puzzles up here. Managed to dodge the rain that was forecast and come away with just over 50 finds.

Thanks for the cache

While staying in Wallaroo for a short visit we decided to head north and grab a few caches along the way.
Today was the first day we’ve come across any flies since last Autumn, not in thick numbers but I’m sure they’ll build up quickly.
We also came across a large brown snake sunning himself on some rocks at one of the caches we visited. We promptly abandoned the search for that one very quickly

Many thanks for another in this great series pineapplegoldy

Lots of water nearby and glad I changed into my boots for this one.

Thank you for placing it for us to find. Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when required. TFTC

Worked out clues then off to gz. Short search while rain had stopped. Good camo. TFTC

Solved awhile ago.
Another this series completed
Stopped by today for a quick find, nice fields.

Thanks

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

Checked on the cache and all is well.

Unfortunately the sun didn’t stay around for another day so it’s back to being rugged up as we traipse around the surrounds of Wallaroo with iluvtrekking. Quick find - thanks for the hide.

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

We have enjoyed our time travelling the YP. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on a geoguided tour.

On my way home after 3 days in Whyalla and 3 days in Port Broughton I came via the Copper Coast to try and find all the new caches that have popped up since my last visit. [^]

This was my first stop on the way. I had found the required info before leaving home so I went straight to GZ where the cache was soon found.

Thanks for the cache pineapplegoldyandbluey.

After crunching the numbers the cache was soon found. TFTC

A busy weekend running around finding game caches, and just a few real caches too!!!
Some naughtiness planting caches... and kept on caching even after the weekend was over.

Somehow we ended up at your cache in our travels.
Well mostly because we crunched a couple of numbers and wandered around in the darkness...

That's a lot of water and foam!!! Hope they don't need it too much.


Much gratitude to pineapplegoldy for hiding and maintaining this cache on our geo-game map

Enjoyed the June Long Weekend Event with Froghoppin, Jack, JEM, and Sebastbat.

The BattyHoppinJemCats even came 4th [:o)] Roll on JLWE23

Seeking, spotting 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 business actually !!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for germs and bugs !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now there's no real restrictions - 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 out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log

After a great June long weekend it was time to wind down by finding a few caches that were in the neighbourhood with Mattycat and Sebastbat, after grabbing some takeaway for dinner we continued on and managed to collect the info before heading off to GZ with a quick find by torchlight
TFTC pineapplegoldy

Quick find while out on a wet and windy wander around the area!! Thanks for the hide!!

No trouble finding this cache.

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.

Found with Freddo on a trip to the Yorke Peninsula to attend the event today.

Despite the threat of bad weather, we somehow managed to avoid the rain until we were almost back hime to Adelaide.

It didn’t take long to collect the required information to calculate the final coordinates and it was a quick find at GZ.

Thanks pineapplegoldy for the cache.

No fires today. This time found in the company of brisal5, Blackadders and SA Sewer Rats. We looked where we thought it would be and there it was. What did we say!?? "There's no Fire"

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

The usual Wednesday Wander for members of Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group had us heading back once again to the upper Yorke Peninsular in search of solved puzzles and anything else we came across. Today it was myself, Blackadders and Astro meeting S.A. Sewer rats at the Rat's
nest By the end of the day we had traveled over 500 km's in search of pieces of Tupperware in the woods.

Once again solved before leaving home. Once again a quick find at GZ.

***Thanks pineapplegoldy for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Yay time a Wednesday wander., for the befuddled Puzzlers. The group consisted of the Rat,a starfish,the Starman and the Adder.
We started from the Rat's den, then Two Wells, Avon then over to the top of the Yorkes and further north.
Our plan was to find Puzzles, multi's, trads and any DNFs.
I had researched the question just after publication and done the calculations.
A quick find GZ, for the Befuddled Puzzlers.
We stamped the logbook, replaced the cache where we found it.TFTC

Another Wednesday wander for the befuddled, this time the targets were a number of newly published puzzles and multi caches at the top of the Yorke Peninsula and further north with a few previous DNF's on the agenda.

With a full crew of a Starfish, Rat, Adder and a stargazer we met at the Rat's den at 9am for a long day with our final celebrations at the Bentley Hotel in Clare.

As always, all caches were visited and signed by all members of the group or each member had a part to play in retrieving the prize.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

A joint silver second to find by the group.




Thank you for the cache %CacheName pineappleredandbluey, found 1/06/2022

Hat trick, and 30th LGA with a FTF!

This is the cache of the month for me.

I was aware of this cache this morning, but thought that >100km was a bit far for a FTF. So I went for the one at Avon instead. I was beaten by gridge98 and I assumed he would already be at this one too. I sent him a message on the off chance and he replied immediately letting me know that he’d gone in another direction from Avon. So since I’m already more than halfway there….

Alford is a quiet place; I’ve not been here before. Easy data collection and a quick find at GZ. This is only the second find with a new phone that I’m breaking in today.

After signing the log I went back in to Alford and had a celebratory lunch at the Kenyan lady’s place - there was quite a crowd there.

This was my fourth attempt at a hat trick - finally got there. Thanks so much for this one pineapplegoldy.
