The Generic Bit:The usual trio of puzzle solvers were available for Tuesday Trekking today. Ttrogg and Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rats Starfishes pond today so we could set out eastwards to do some maintenance on the Wandering Heroes trail and of course collect a few caches on the way.. A lot of driving and quite a few caches visited and checked or maintained, yet we were still able to have a full day of laughs, adventures and a picnic lunch. ***Thanks OZGrumpy for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

We enjoyed a few days away from home, enjoying the scenery, the people we met and, of course, finding cachesThanks to all who made this and enjoyable week.

We extended our stay in Adelaide after the MEGA Leapyear events and were then heading towards Canberra for the GEOBASH - still doing some caches on the way.We passed this area, found the cache and signed the log.Tftc OzGrumpy

Now we are on the way to Canberra and pick up some more caches .Found the cache with TBU1BIKESU Tftc OZGrumpy

Find # 14259I'm in the Adelaide area for the Great Leap Forward event. Not just for the days event, but making it a week long trip of caching n catching up with mates.Flying solo......Day 8. Homeward-bound.Day started off with a tree climb and a big stretch off the ground. Then a bit of a look around Mt Barker. Then it was the trails. It's been a while since I've hit a long trail and being alone it was just me and the caches to fill the rest of the day in. Some power trails are tougher than others, ie parking locations and barriers can be annoying and chew up time. But happily I managed all hurdles. Even the odd orb spider that made some tracks mazes. Happily that what I'd pland out fell into place with only a couple of DNFs.End of day was a surprise with my biggest solo grab of over 300 in a day. But I have plenty more trails in SA to utilise if I want to better that score TFTC OZGrumpy

Once we had what we needed, the cache was a nice quick find. Thanks for placing the cache for all to enjoy.

This was a nice quick find in a disappearing town. Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Tailem Bend Day3 Camped at the Waterfront Caravan ParkToday we continues our journey along the Heroes Trail one we had started some years ago.We chose a small section, found many good hides many reflcting the geocaching owner.Thanks OZGrumpy for hiding this cache.

Found it! Had this one solved for a while, stopped by and made the find today after a FTF at the CFS Multi. Large flock of sheep on the road up ahead, and cant see anyone around! TFTC!

Another find on this cool november morning. Time for something different.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. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos ktkst. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Lots of scrub negotiated at most caches..
All logs signed Fabulous Randoms.
Thanks OZGrumpy

A nice multi to do with buddies.

I was out and about with "Fabulous Randoms" (how we signed the logs) - consisting of Feathertop, McLookers and TheDame. A girls trip which was full of fun and interesting adventures.

A couple of days in the country was fantastic.

We enjoyed finding your cache. thank you for your contribution to the game.

We worked out this multi whilst we were in the area checking out some of the Wandering Heroes.

Log signed "Fabulous Randoms"

On a caching trip with Feathertop, McLookers and GoodLook. What a fun trip. The weather was warm and so was the company. We can really recommend staying in the 'new' Karoonda Tourist Park - the cabin was fantastic (and solar powered/kind on the environment).

Thanks so much for placing this cache.

Was being taxi for Don't Panic Arthur at The Bend today and made good use of the time between drop off and pick up by adding to my smilie count from the surrounding area. Made sure I got the twelve new Wandering Heroes that had appeared since my last taxi duties and found quite a few others as well. This was one of 36 for the day.
Another nice series that I make sure I find whenever the opportunity arises.
Thanks to OZGrumpy for putting out this cache.

Suscoe was out for another day of caching with our very good friends Phetlern. It was a cloudy and rainy day at times with lots of cloud and wind. It was so different to yesterday.
We continued to found lots of caches, with finds along the Wandering Heroes trail, The Armpits series and the Ice Cream Series along with a few other nearby caches and Adventure Labs as we wandered the countryside.
We enjoyed finding these caches and we had a fun day out.
Thanks to OZGrumoy for this tennis activity.

A quick find while spending the night at KaroondaTFTC

Southern Autumn adventure Day 51. Mid North section of SA trip Day 22. Mount Barker 2. Today and yesterday and tomorrow are really transitional to me getting to Mildura in time to do the Paddle Steamer with friends from Canberra. I journeyed to a spot about 35km South of Loxton near a location called Veitch via Murray Bridge an Karoonda for lunch. Before I left I spent an hour or so near Mount Barker having a final go at a few multis with difficulties and other local caches. The rain started while I was out and did not let up for the rest of the day. As I traveled, I did manage to stop a few times, getting wetter all the time, but I was keen to find some caches. At the final stop for the day I found a remote patch of roadside rest area and sat quietly till it was time to leave the next day.

Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy

Coffee, Cats, Chocolate, and Caching...
Careful caching as always, out and about with Jack.
It's a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and objects falling from trees
...... but a cache a day still keeps the boredom away

--------

Most of our caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too!

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


It's awesome of all those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas,
in sensible safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Of course 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 perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...


... until next time!

Stay at Murray Bridge for two nights with Everllasting and Found the cache and logged the log with Everlasting OZGrumpy, Thank you so much for placing it.

Accompanied with crank1, we enjoyed the trip and detour find it and sign the log. Thanks for the cache and hunt.

Getting a few more caches on the wandering heroes trail and others on the way. Staying at Tailem Bend for a few nights to. clean up the area abit

Nice quick GSM solve and xache found on way hone from Karoonda. TFTC OZGrumpy.

Solved this one on the day it came out, today in the area so a short stop and find in the great series

With my days numbered in SA I had a few targets that I have wanted to tick off put around Murray bridge and the surrounding areas to find. With the work finished in the early morning I set off for a nice day tackling the virtual at Monarto, ice cream series, lost wanders series and the Aussie Challenges plus a few others along the way, total of just over 100 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

After looking at the weather last night, I thought today might be a good one to head out and find a few caches. Looking at the map for somewhere to go, I noticed a small cluster of multis that I hadn’t found, including a new, as yet unfound cache, so decided to head out this way.

This morning I headed off reasonably early after breakfast. The required information was soon collected and final coordinates calculated. Then it was off to GZ just a short distance away for a quick find.

Thanks OZGrumpy for the cache.

Out for a days caching with Seatherwaite and Astro.

Our journey took us as far as Alawoona and then back to Murray Bridge via a less than direct route..

Numbers sorted at home and a quick find.

TFTC

Found with Team Waldron and TeamAstro during a circuit of the Murraylands from Murray Bridge to Karoonda, via Kulde Road and the Karoonda Highway to Allawoona, and south to the deserted locality of Multapa before heading for home. Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy!

A few games today and I’m hoping they give me the match. A quick calculation and a quick find. TFTC

Found by Mary and David at 11:00. We do enjoy these multis. Our thanks to OZGrumpy.

While on our way east with ilook4geo for a couple of days, we stopped here to pick up this multi cache, which proved to be an easy find. The log had both names added to mark our visit and all was returned to place before we continued on to the next cache. Thanks for this cache placement go to OZGrumpy.

Happy to be out caching with goingplaces2 and adding some more smiley faces to the map. Log was signed and replaced. TFTC.

A fun day with JJ52 and Michell&hound. The plan was to find the Straya Series even thou I only qualify for 2 and a few others around it. But we ended up finding a heap of Adventure Lab caches in Tailem Bend and a heap of others which I am now logging. It was a great day, awesome drive around the country side. Loving this series, TFTC OZGrumpy

A day out was planned with Michells&hound and allister w with the target being the Straya challenges and of course there was a list of other caches to find along the way. We were pleasantly surprised to see 4 new Adventure Labs in Tailem Bend so we added those to our list and completed them before heading out to some Wandering Heroes and Straya. A fun day finding all the caches we looked for and even managed to be finished and on our way home before the rain set in. [^]

We worked out this one in the car on the drive to Wynarka and it was a quick find once we arrived at GZ...and another one off the list.

Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy.

A day out caching with Allisterw and JJ52 primarily to collect the Straya challenge caches. We did get side tracked by the new adventure labs in tailem Bend which were a welcome addition to our day. None of us has qualified for many of the challenges so lots to work towards.
A fun day out as usual and we managed to avoid the rain.
thanks to all the CO without you we wouldn’t have a game.
Another one in this super series I realize I still have a lot of them to find. TFTC OzGrumpy

Another sports ground that has been left unused for many years with old courts and oval that are overgrown and rusting away. A quick find and signing of the log book before moving on to find another smiley face. TFTC

Found with scramping on our way to Murray Bridge. We took a few detours collecting caches that had appeared since last visiting the area.
Another abandoned tennis court but the cache was found easily.
THanks OZGrumpy

A nice location that I have passed on many occasions while on a mission to find WH caches. Thanks OZGrumpy.

CTFC

Found while in the area for another cache.
I enjoy this series. Still many to find.

TFTC OZGrumpy

A nice easy multi

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. It is a wonderful day, just perfect for geocaching.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

A quick game it was. This time I had a doubles partner. Hard to get in these parts.

This was found on part of an 8 EVENT MADNESS in 3 state trip with four-fun. We cached, we kept hydrated, labbed, swagged and we paddled. Most of all we met lots of people an made new friends.

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

On the way to the riverland for a weekend of Event Madness
Had to stop and find a few caches along the way of course!
This was one of those fun finds [^]
Cheers and TFTC

Heading to the Riverland for the Border Hopping Events grabbing some caches along the way TFTC

Finally had a chance to wander out and grab this one today, another quality GSM from OZGrumpy TYFTC

That's the podium filled...

Thanks

On our way from Melbourne to Adelaide we detoured through Sherlock, Karoonda and Wynarka to look for three caches. This was one of them.

Again data collection was straightforward and we were soon on our way to GZ were accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks OZGrumpy for this cache and the enjoyable series.

FTF at 8.15am with Bindi the geo dog!!! Had to do some Wandering Hero maintenance just after Karoonda so this was a great bonus!! Quickly found the cache ..... and Bindi spotted some rabbits!!! Thanks OZGrumpy for the hide!!
