Found the cache after a brief search. Interesting views.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is saturn's day the twenty first day of the septimus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit cooler today. Not so windy today. A few showersWith 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.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.

Something special or unusual goes here:Plenty of work being done in the quarry today. [^] Man the ants that call GZ home are both big and vicious. Twisted Didn't stop me from grabbing the cache and moving away to sign it though. SmileThe Generic Bit:Another Tuesday Trek with just me and Mrs. Sewer Rats. Big Grin I had itch to retrace last Tuesday's Trek up through Morgan to Waikerie for lunch, cruise back via the Sturt Highway and clear out a few more caches. That itch just needed to be scratched. Cool We made it to Morgan for a late lunch and made it to Waikerie around dinner time and back to the Rat's nest as the sun set.

It was just the dynamic duo again this week and after picking up the Rat from her nest it was time for some caching. I had my eyes on a newish AdLab in Kapunda but there was also the Pirate Project caches, some multis from a couple of favourite series and quite a few trads that one or both of us wanted. This was one of the caches found on another nice day out caching, this time without even one DNF CoolQuite a few years ago I had the privilege of meeting the lady this drive is named after.A quick find in an interesting area.Thanks to 4WHEELAUSSIE for placing this cache on our playing field.Cache #14086 for me.This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).****SAs Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024.

Lookout Quarry, here we come! 0940... at least 16 hours post pub, where were the hoards! I'd call that a "micro" size, but no worries it has our stamp in it now Big Grin{FTF} with Jack on this lovely roller coaster road with a view on a sunny Kapunda Saturday. Looking around half expected to see Fred and Barney hard at work. The machines certainly hadn't taken the weekend off! Another enjoyable place nearby. A cache a day, keeps something away... RazzOur sincere appreciation for the cache hide and ongoing care and maintenance 4WHEELAUSSIE . Cool---------------- Wink ----------------------Country caches and crazy company!

(And a little rubber stamp Wink ) The skill and talent of some Zenior Zombies helps, and maybe a spot of luck too [:o)]----------Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on Wink (Covid cancels caching! - Flu finished fun!)) Keep a safe distance - clean and cache the countryside Big GrinSpecial 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 CoolOf 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 Wink 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 !!! Big Grin [:o)] Wink C'est fini... For now... ... until next time!
