Quick easy find for this one. TFTC pineapplegoldy

Pesky aloe. It grows everywhere.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 would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.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. Blockheads Unite in 2025.

A weekend away was planned with sir_spectre and mogni to the Yorke Peninsula to complete the Abandoned Railway Sidings caches then meeting up with others to tackle the new mermaid geo art and then the new Big Question caches. It was a busy but fun weekend with a couple of events thrown in and lots of caches found along with me getting to my 20,000 milestone. We had perfect weather and the dirt roads had mostly dried out after the big storm during the week. All in all a successful couple of days.We had finished the Abandoned Railway Sidings caches and we had time to find a few of the local caches before the event later in the day.A quick find here as the others had found the cache previously.Thanks for the cache Goldy.

Travelling Australia in our caravan since February 2014.

We cycled from Wallaroo to Kadina and return collecting smilies. Then back at the van and we jumped in the GeoCruiser and drove back to Kadina to gather a few more smilies then down to Moonta to tackle a few more. Home just on sunset.

Lucky for us the sun was mostly out and the wind was not gale force. The flies were still around though and ever so annoying when they got in behind your glasses. [xx(]

TFTC

cool

EZ PZ cache. Thought it was going to be a tricky big bad Bradley cache but got lucky. TFTC.

Nice

a nice an easy find on the way home after a delicious dinner at the new indian restaurant. just the cache to fill in my calendar day challenge!
thx PG!

Away for a few days to try and clean out Yorke Peninsula. I stayed in Moonta and went in all directions.

Today was picking up a few caches on the way to Kadina, then tidying up Kadina and then Moonta. I then made my way up to Tickera and then out to Pine Point.

Made for a long day at the wheel but the first stage was completed.

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. The girls are in and around Port Hughes and Moonta cleaning up while the boys are on the Abandond Railway trail. Thank goodness for the BBB Blocker caches.

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. Thanks Goldy

Country, Coffee, Cats, Champagne, Chocolate, and Caching...

On the road again, with Mr Froghoppin, caching along the way wherever we go

[^] [^]

In a hazardous world filled with rusty old mint tins and solid objects falling from trees
- - - a cache a day keeps the boredom away

--------

Caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp ) The skill and talent of some Zenior Zombies helps, and maybe a spot of luck too [:o)]

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


Special thanks to 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!

And don't forget to put the June Long Weekend in your diary for 2024 too... it'll be out of this world

A day trip to the triangle had us in the area to find a cache or two with the cat, always love a blocker quick find for us today
TFTC pineapplegoldy

Done

I wish I'd paid attention to the cache notes, because it was only after I'd picked my way through those ba**ard Agaves that I realised what an idiot I was...
I hate Agaves. I absolutely loathe them. They're an ugly weed and a blot on the landscape.
Bloody Agaves! Spawn of Satan. Burn down the Agave factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Agaves!
Thank you for blocking them, for those who read things properly, that is!
TFTC Goldy

Found the not BBB2 cache today in the most unusual place, no scratches today. TFTC Goldy.

I checked today to check the log book, as I'm aware a bit of drama occurred at the start.

The cache is where I left it, the camo was gone which was interesting.

All names are in the log book so there's no problem here.

Cache is all good.

Happy hunting!

Easy find TFTC

Catching up on logs. Apologies for the late log.

Found while in the area with CPwanderer and SpidermonkeysMum. I am enjoying my tour of the area. It is many years since I have been here and so much has changed.

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).

TFTC pineapplegoldy

Avoided this cache due to its name only to be told that it meant something different. A weekend chasing sea horses! What better way to spend what could be the last of the nice weather.

Met up with CPw and GG for a copper coast catchup on the Saturday. Chinese dinner followed which was yum! Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when required. TFTC

SA’s Leap Year Event - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. GCA1DNA. Can’t wait!!

Found during a trip to the Copper Triangle for a few days. Staying at Moonta, I toured the township then headed up to Kadina and Wallaroo for a big day of caching. Gotta love a BBB blocker! Thanks for the cache Goldy!

Easy find, didn’t have the pen with us, tftc

For the Easter weekend we are staying at Moonta Bay.

To start the day we went for a ride and then went for a drive to find caches.

We found this when on the drive later in the day

Thanks to pineapplegoldy for the Cache

**Stay calm and keep on caching**

Beta tester log

It's nice cool today. Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Found

Quick find on a seriously bust dirt road!!! Thanks for the blocker!!!

Strange thing happened here...
As I approached GZ I spotted what I assumed to be the cache, about 6m from where GPSr wanted me. Signed the new blank piece of paper, thinking the logsheet had been replaced.
I moved closure to the GZ on GPSr to ick up some rubbish and found an identical cache, but with a logsheet in it with previous finders logs! What the heck??
I signed that logsheet and replied as found, with spot on co-ords too!
I went back to first cache and removed it to save confusion.
So if it's the COs duplicate, then I return to them, if someone else's... you can contact me for its return.
TNLNSL
Thanks

A long story that one... thanks Hurtle for picking up the container.

I am trying to hit a major milestone in April and this weekend was my chance to get closer to my goal. Sir_spectre generously helped me find 150 caches and all caches were replaced better than found.
Thanks to pineapplegoldy from mogni

quick find. If the CO needs a black bucket to hide next time to hide, just ask.
Found with Mogni. Mogni wants to get to 20, 000 by the Rutherglen Mega in Victoria and make that event her 20, 000 th. So we went out to complete the " THE Sad Fisher series " and stay in Moonta for the night. We got 150 finds for the weekend even though we started out at lunch time Saturday. Any damaged caches found where replaced with a new container and any logs found full or almost full were replaced or a extra scroll added. The weather couldn't make up it's mind, over 30 on Saturday and it rained almost all of the way home.

An easy find this morning - thank you. A good start to the day ??

{FTF} joint with Astro, Blackadders, Brisal5, SA SEWER Rats and ourselves.

Our group met up at the Rats Nest and once the cars were sorted we were on our way to find a few Sea Horses and any other caches that happen to get in our way. Once we had had enough caching for the day we head to a local pub for dinner and conversation. While we were there a couple of new caches were published then we checked to see if any other cache FTF's were up for grabs, this cache was spotted.
It must have looked like the old school emu bob as we looked for the elusive cache. Finally after much looking we had a cache to log.

You do know that setting up a challenge with BBB will lend itself to more blood loss.

Joint FTF, for the Puzzled Puzzlers.
It was Tuesday and time for the Befuddled puzzlers to go for a Tuesday Trek.
There were 5 teams out Tuesday Trekking.
The teams were SA Sewer Rats, Muff1, Brisal5, Astro and Blackadders.
With the Sea horse finished, we made a detour to this one .
Then on to Moonta to find some more caches.
A search was conducted at GZ, cache found a few meters away.
All caches were found and in good condition. Tftc

***JOINT FTF 10.04 p.m. 28/2/23***

Today's Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving group saw Muffs joining us from Victoria and Astro changing some plans to make himself available.
So them, myself and Blackadders all converged on the S.A. Sewer Rat's nest where the five teams headed out towards the new Sea Horse geo art series.
As usual a few were found on the way there and then afterwards as we headed to Kadina for a meal at The Wombat. [^][^]
Getting ready to head home, bing bing bing, new caches published on YP meant we continued caching and got home very late. as you do.

Although we had been past here earlier in the day the hunt for a FTF brought the group back again.
All the GPS's took us to one particular tree but no cache was found. After a long search the cache was located nearby and the CO notified. Sometimes it is right place right time.

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