TFTC out to visit the market at Alford

Quick find here today. Thank you.

Well that was the easiest BBB cache I've ever done! Thanks for the adventure!

Hi Brad. How are you?No green phone covers todayA fun little loop with driver doineedthis and OZGrumpy to clean up a few dots that had appeared. THE BIG QUESTION series was the main target today. These caches saw us soak up the KM and try and figure which was the most efficient route. We got there in the end. These caches were signed as TOAD (Team Ozgrumpy Astro doineedthis)., A lot of effort has gone into these caches. Impressive. Love your work.

Thanks opted-out user for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10832 on 9/11/2024 at 2:42PMThree 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).

Thanks, always find it interesting. 26 Feb 2024

TFTC opted-out user your cache Big Bad Bradley arrives at Alford 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: 17738

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 Nice to be able to find a BBB for a change without drawing blood.

Staying over the road. Tftc

Good place for a cache tftc

Quick find, been a while since visiting an Agars bush without drawing blood TFTC

Nice quick find. Enjoyed the clever hint, and the link with the cache container. Tftc.

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor. We are on the home stretch now, just a few days in the Yorke to pick up a few caches. Thanks for the cache

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. After spending some time in Peterbough and Minlaton we moved to Moonta to grab finds in Moonta and surrounds. Out on wet and misty day run to Redhill caching enroute. This was our first find for the day but we gotta say Bradley - you are bad.

Nice

Well this is one found quickly, for a BBB, with the spot on co-ords! Gotta love an ammo tin protected by agave!
Now only have 2 BBB's left to find...

Thanks

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Found and signed with Sarge5556 tftc

tftc, with jeffner5556, prickly find

Great hide

Out and about with BBB checking on this cache, tftc.

That was a bit tricky an prickly off rd find better to find this 1 during the day

Quick drive by. TFTC

Goldy and Jimmy are back to the triangle for a couple of days for some cache maintaining, event hosting and map clearing.

Some of my family who lived in this area served in both WWI and WWII, so it seemed fitting to attend the Moonta Dawn Service to pay respects to their friends and all people who didn't return.

I also reached 3000 finds at the event on Sunday night, a good turnout and great to celebrate with the awesome people from the area!

I thought I'd give it a go, braving the spikes.

Thankfully the cache was quickly located and signed.

Thanks BIGBADBRADLEY for this cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3003 on the 24th of April 2023.


CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it!

Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Found on a trip with Goldy! Signed as "Jimmy"

More worries about blood than search the cache, lol. So give up.

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. Luckily the container was spotted quite quickly. Thanks for the cache BIGBADBRADLEY!

Found with Gemini 7, an easy find, especially for a BBB cache - thank you. Yesterday was 40 deg with a howling wind, today is much cooler and way more comfortable, so slithery things weren't around. TFTC

Easy find with LLL51 on our way home from Port Pirie. Not a scratch thanks for the cache

A surprisingly large container and a relatively easy find.

TFTC

Prick of a cache.

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.

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

It was not there

Scariest find so far! Amazing bit of history be ex military but man it was 39 degrees and spotted a slithery character on the way. Beware of the spiders if you dare

Heading back to WA for a visit. An overnight stop in Kadina to catch up with Snappy Tom Cats saw us with Australia Day breakfast then on the move to Port Pirie. Lunch stop in Alford so thought we would tackle this newie. All good only minor blood loss replacing the cache up the right way. [B)]

TFTC BIGBADBRADLEY

Staying at Pt Broughton & took a drive to Wallaroo & Kadina. Wasn’t sure whether I would attempt this one but previous logs were positive. Glad I did. Had trouble securing the lid but should remain waterproof. Tftc

Found it TFTC Found in good condition. BBB caches always make me scared rarely do them, hate shedding blood. But being new thought why not

Out with Froghoppin and Sebastbat, always fun to look for one of these... and a joint silver place too! Silver in the copper triangle seems a treat

Many thanks to BIGBADBRADLEY for placing this cache on our ever growing SA cache map!

Exploring 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
A lot of the luck stuff really !!!

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

Don't we love a BBBBBB cache !

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, we arrived found the cache and left no blood, winner winner
TFTC BIGBADBRADLEY

FTF at 4.30 this afternoon.
Decided to have a shot at this one on way to granddaughter’s birthday tea.
Surprisingly (relatively speaking for BBB ) pointless ( shrubbery) and pain free
A larger cache container certainly easier
Thanks BBB love a FTF !
