A quick find out collecting a few caches while house sitting at North Beach,TFTC

A trip up to do the Big Question Mark with OZGrumpy and Astro. Going rural for a change, going back to metro at the end of the day.

Thanks pineapplegoldy for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10830 on 9/11/2024 at 2:30PMThree of us headed north to collect a few smileys. Our target was the BigQ and also collect anything else we found along the way. Signed logs as TOAD (Team Ozgrumpy Astro doineedthis). A great day out, Thanks to all the COs for their time and effort.

TFTC Goldy, a goldy mystery that i could solve. Eventually made the drive to add my name to the book.

Its always nice to find a doable puzzle and this one was a good one. Today I found the time to cash in on the solve. TFTC

TFTC pineapplegoldy your cache Going Metro for a Change 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.Find Count: 17736

Checked today and all is well.

Happy hunting!

Found on maintenance run with Goldy!

Quickly sorted and quickly found...thanks for the adventure!

Catching up on logs. Apologies for the late log.

Quick find with CPwanderer on our way to Port Hughes.

A trip to the Yorke Peninsula with CPwanderer where we met up with SpidermonkeysMum, GoodLook and TheDame to complete the Seahorse geoart. We also completed some Adventure Labs, attended a couple of events and made several other finds during our stay.

Logs were signed with our own caching names, initials or "FR" (standing for "Fabulous Randoms" - a made up group name to save space in the logs).

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

This afternoon I attended the lunch event and CITO down near the airport before heading up to the northern Yorke Peninsula and beyond to find a few caches and camp for the night.

This was my last cache for the day and was another quick find.

Thanks pineapplegoldy for the puzzle and the cache.

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. Thanks for the puzzle and cache pineappleredandbluey!

Quick find here. All good.

SA’s Leap Year Event - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

Today I headed to the YP for caching. Today I on the main part hated my hobby. It’s weird as I have been doing this hobby for almost 10 years and generally it makes me feel good to be alive. Sadly not today.
My phone was a pain in the ass not sure why but almost every find had me around 10m away from where the actual cache was. I was stuffed with the caches with no hints of which there were many.
I over heated, the flies were insane, so many caches were in or behind prickle bushes or trees with low branches, covered in scratches. I have an inordinate amount of dnfs. My list of whinging goes on and on.
I am grateful really to all the people who made the effort to hide and maintain a cache for me to find. I do appreciate it even if I don’t sound too grateful.
Anyway I got 52 for the day so have to be ‘happy’ with that!
Quick solve and find but not at the first base I checked why o why does my day have to be so hard!! TFTC Goldy

After picking up the Rat and the Starman from the Rat's den we headed west to the Yorke Peninsula for a pleasant day of caching. The weather wasn't the best but we managed to work around it and all aims were achieved, with some extras thrown in for good measure.
Quickly solved and quickly found.
Thanks to pineappleredandbluey for another one over here for us to find.
Cache #12659

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

Sounds like we were lining up for a bus. But took the cache pad and signed it instead!

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

Ttrogg and the Starman (Astro), Picked up the Rat from the Rat's den.
We then headed over to the Yorke's.
It was a day filled with stories, laughter, adventure and yes caches.
I solved this one quickly after publishing, it then sat in the GPS.
Today the trio made a quick find. Tftc

Time for Tuesday treasure seeking day, out with Sebastbat and Mattycat we ventured around the mid north an copper triangle picking off caches that had popped up in the last few months, enjoyed the puzzle a nd a easy find for us today

TFTC pineapplegoldy

Gone out with Froghoppin and Sebastbat for a little drive to the north.

Came across this precalculated location and signed your cache log of course!
Yay for the firefolk.

Much thanks to pineapplegoldy for placing and maintaining this cache on our ever expanding SA geo-map

Exploring 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
Plenty of the luck stuff actually !!!

*Almost all 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, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where 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 !!!




C'est Fini.

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

Came out here for a drive in the sun to find some older geocaches I've never got around to looking for!
Easily solved and found...

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.

Just noticed this one...
Solved from memory, it's my job to know that stuff.

Another find with iluvtrekking as we clear up some stragglers around the Kadina/Wallaroo surrounds. Solved the puzzle last night for todays agenda.,Thanks for the hide.

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

This one was solved by Mrs RL last night while the rest of us were throwing out some zzzzz.

A chilly one today but that won't put us off our quest. We have enjoyed our time travelling the YP. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on a geo-guided tour.

Was in bed & off goes my new cache notification sound and it's just up the road a bit well of course I am going. So sat down did the puzzle then waited for Margieh to get home then off we went. Once Margieh got here phone sorted we managed to find the cache and snagged the FTF as well.
