A trip up to do the Big Question Mark with OZGrumpy and Astro. The last one of the Question Mark, took a while for the penny to drop, but its really as easy as pie.
Thanks YPGeocachers for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10851 on 9/11/2024 at 4:32PMThree 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.
Another great puzzle with thanks. The cache is quality - logbook, hide and container. Coords spot on.A 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.

I did this series as part of a group assault under the common name of "Siren Seekers", however I came back today to visit each cache as previously my involvement had been limited. The variety of hides, the distances involved and the nature of the puzzles mean this really isnt a "power trail" All caches were refound and all had been logged Siren Seekers or "SS" . Just me and 100,000 flies out here today!!! Awarding a favourite point to each one!!!! Thanks for a great series .................... had the puzzle solvers scratching their heads and working overtime!!
Out with Freddo to clean up the Question Mark. An interesting collection of puzzle some of which did our heads in.All the caches were found and were in good condition with accurate co-ords.TFTC
With the puzzles solved it was time to find and sign. Most were simple to locate. Some took a little more investigation.A number of reptiles were seen. A goanna. A sleepy. And two metres of eastern brown death noodle.The farmers are reaping. In some paddock the rake on the header will be set to low.Thanks for a fun geo art.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.
Hard puzzle, easy find with Sarge5556. Few educated hints by fellow cachers out us on the right track.
What an amazing weekend to be on the Yorke Peninsula with the gorgeous Snap Happy and the beautiful TheDame. We then met up with a great group of people doing what we do best - CACHE!!!Today we attended a CITO and then went off to complete the Siren of the Seas geo-art, find a few other caches in the area and we then finished with The Big Question series. What a fantastic series The Big Question is - the caches were a variety of hides and the puzzles certainly kept us on our toes.We cached with CPWanderer, GizmosGang, Mogni, SirSpectre, JJS2, TK2, Plesiosaur22, TubbyBooBoo, JeffEddy, Martini989, Tweety2, TravelinBees, AllisterW, Northstar76, Superman22, LiB, Earthlight, Shandyk, SpiderMonkeysMum and FrogHoppin. To save room in the log books our caching name today was "Siren Seekers" = "SS". Thanks so much for taking the time to place this series for us to enjoy finding.
I have been under the pump at work and needed a relaxing few days to reduce my stress levels and improve my mood. What better way to do this, than a huge geocaching weekend with old and new friends. Powertrials and many other caches were tackled and signed as either mystery randoms or Siren Seekers (SS). Thanks to all that joined in the fun of events, puzzle solving to make this possible and the planners who got us organised.Thanks to YPGeocachers from mogni
What a great Sunday had driving the back roads after a week of solving puzzles. I managed to solve a couple! TFTC YPGeocachers, really enjoyed this series. Signed as siren seekers.
Found after the Clean Up Paskeville Sports oval CITO. The siren of the sea geoart was found with a flash mob of cachers ( about 20 ). Then we had a bbq lunch at the CITO site and those cachers that hadn't found " The Big Question " geoart found this series. All caches in this series where found. Found with Mogni and JJ52. This weekend it was off to do the Abandoned Railway Sidings/Stations series both in Port Wakefield and also the Abandoned Railway Sidings/Stations trail between Moonta and Kandia plus any other caches that we passed along the way, plus JJ52 was hosting a event in Moonta for her 20,000 cache. It was a busy Saturday day and night, since we went caching after the event in the dark as well. Sunday started with co-hosting a CITO event at Paskeville early in the morning then meeting up with about 20 other teams and doing the Siren Of The Sea geo art then a early lunch and then moving on to do the The Big Question geo art with the remaining teams that haven't already done it. Then it was time to drive home only stopping for a couple more caches. No snakes were sighted but i did get nearly a dozen bug/ant bites over 3 different gz's and stung by a bee in the chest. For the first time in a very, very, very long time i didn't need to replace any full log sheets ( nano log sheets don't count, do your own maintenance ). A very, very tiring weekend given the amount of km's either walked or pedaled but a good weekend away. Surprisingly the weather was a lot better than expected not to hot or cold given the thunder storms either this week.
With the mermaid finished, the big question was..discussed, planned and executed. We ended up halfway home, so we made our finds and continued on from there. We enjoyed all the different hides and sizes in this series. A lot of work goes into these, we appreciate everyones efforts.
Yesterday I headed off on my own to the Yorke Peninsula to find some caches of interest, mostly published since my last visit. After getting down as far south as Pondolowie Bay in the Innes National Park, I headed north again and ended up at the event in the pub at Moonta for dinner before camping nearby.This morning it was off to the early CITO event at Paskervilke, then I teamed up with FeatherWaite to complete the Big Question geoart puzzle series.We managed to complete them all without any trouble and in good time. We were surprised to be the second finders in quite a few of them.All of the caches were found in good condition, as you would expect given the recent publication, and at good coordinates.Afterwards, FeatherWaite and I went out separate ways and I headed back towards Adelaide in a round-a-bout way, chasing some more caches of interest and intending to camp out again somewhere tonight. The weather is great, so I will try to make the most of it!Thanks YPGeocachers for the cache and the puzzle series.
Found today as a group . Log signed as SS. Had fun locating the caches and solving puzzles over several weeks.This definitely was a group effort today. Loved this series. TFTC
What a gorgeous day to be caching. Found while out caching with a group we call the siren seekers. Teams included CPWanderer, GizmosGang, Mogni, SirSpectre, JJS2, TK2, Plesiosaur22, TubbyBooBoo, JeffEddy, Martini989, Tweety2, TravelinBees, AllisterW, Northstar76, Superman22, Goodluck, SnapHappy, TheDame, LiB, Earthlight, Shandyk, SpiderMonkeysMum and FrogHoppin. Log was signed as SS. Thank you for the series YPGeocachers.
Out and about buzzing over the top of Yorkes.This cache was found as a group- SS. We cached up and down, in and around rocks with many caches located and signed.Mrs Bee only had one mishap of stumbling backwards over rocks!She also had some yummy scones with home made jam to end the day, what a way
What a day out!! Started with a CITO at Paskeville with many from the previous nights dinner event in Moonta. Many others had driven over from Adelaide for a fun day out. Logged as SS I dont get pi, but do love pie so someone a lot more knowledgeable would have solved this during our week long puzzle solving fest. Gotta love a smiley face on the map. Thankyou YPgeocachers for placing and maintaining it. TNLNSL
Traveled to the Copper Triangle and the Mid-North for a weekend of caching. Drove up via Roseworthy through to Balaklava on the Saturday, on a very convoluted route to search for caches along the way, before heading across for the dinner event at Moonta. Camped out nearby for the night and attended the early morning CITO in Paskeville, then toured the back-roads around Bute to complete The Big Question series with e.gregory1. Spent the rest of the Sunday around Snowtown and Lochiel before heading for home. Thanks for the cache YPGeocachers!
After completing the siren geo art Mrs frog set off with a group to tackle the big question series while Mr frog put his feet up and readied a BBQ, no big answers but all caches found on good condition with many hands and eyes, caches signed SS, loved the puzzles some really gave the grey matter a workoutTFTC YPGeocachers
What a great day it was. Working with quite few teams today the team name is siren seekers. Put a photo of all the names on here. Thanks for place these. What a fun day but now Im so tired. Connor_2011 was with me too.
Well this was one of the last to solve in the end, but didn't turn out that hard really. Seen this method before, ala a frog cache...Stopped by to find the last 4 unfounds out here, on way to a dinner event in Moonta, and any others not found too.All were quick finds, with great co-ords from the Yorkes Puzzle Master.That's all 35 found for me in this series.I must mention the collaboration of a cpl of other geocachers to solve, whom couldn't be on this caching foray.Dropped my *FTF* Geocoin through @ 1535hrs.TNLNSL Thanks
