Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to djcache for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Came along here with goingplaces2 and Geologic2. Answers have been sent to CO. Great view from the top. Thanks for bringing us here and for creating this virtual cache.
Enjoyed getting here and the view from this point. Answers with goingplaces2 and ilook4geo. TFTC.
Visited this cache while out on a run with ilook4geo and Geologic2. The Border Track is in interesting condition with many "camel humps" to bounce over along the way. Some of the sandhills needed good off road driving skills as well. All went well and we all survived. The answers for this cache have been sent t the CO. We had a good view from here even though the day was rather dismal. Thanks for creating this virtual cache go to djcache.
Well we finally made it to the Border Track and after much discussion and with some late minute planning we managed to assemble some sort of 4wd geocaching party and headed out this morning from an overnighter at Murrayville via Pinnaroo and headed Southwards. The crew consisted of tackle head, The Empire, omegaman1971, Snap Happy and Rebel Acts and we enjoyed plenty of laughs and banter as we made our way along the track and with the recent rains the track was firm along the most of the way with a few low clay areas being a little too wet but still passable with a little skill-full driving, some back seat navigation and throw in plenty of cursing and laughs and overall it was a great chance to come and explore this beaut part of the world. The drive to the gz and the views were simply stunning with the word vast that comes to mind when looking all around. Nice little Virtual cache out this way and the short walk was much appreciated by the back seat passengers as l thought l had done my diff with the continual whining coming from the rear of my mighty Triton even after l had stopped and turned the car off... many thanks djcache for the Virtual Cache and for highlighting this area to us. Fave added.
Found by Omegaman1971 and The Crew
It was great to be out and about with the Crew once again for some caching fun and so many laughs.
This track has been on the to-do list for a long time and it certainly didn't disappoint.
This location was a great place to stop and catch up and tell tails about the track so far.
Favourite point rewarded

Our second day touring with 'The Crew', this time we were tackling the Border Track. Led by the enigmatic tackle_head in his trusty Landcruiser, we bumped and thrashed our way down the track, all the way to Red Bluff. Answers sent - what a top spot! Favourite point added. Thanks for the cache djcache.

A four day weekend gave us the opportunity to catch up with the rest of the Crew and head to South Australia to do the Border track and caches in the Big Dessert area, lots of laughs and good times were had over the weekend. There were plenty of good quality caches to be found along the way.
Today we did the border track led by our tour guide tackle_head.
This is one of the caches found today. There was some fantastic views from this location.

This is the second time we have driven the border track from up near the Murray to Bordertownish with our Muggle 4x4 mates and the first time I was way to engrossed in keeping the car moving to worry about caching, This time I was more prepared or so I thought. I added a bunch of caches and then forgot to download them.
I had read the detail of this cache and knew I could get the group to stop here without an issue. I climbed up the lookout and opened cachly I had signal and I was able to get the requirements.
Email sent and now logging from the comfort of my lounge room.

Off on yet another adventure with Ms_enchantress and her family, heading out to do the Silo Art trail then across to Border Town, up to Pinaroo to do that section of the Border Track back down to border town and then home to the beautiful green rolling hills of South Gippsland (a stark contrast at the moment to this brown barren landscape!)
We had a good time seeing hte sights and 4 x 4 ing.
Sorry for the copy and paste generic log, we had good intentions to write interesting ones but time has gotten away from us, thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches.

We were glad to plant our feet in both camps after making our way up the last dune. Not for the faint hearted this trip. A great location and a great lookout. TFTC
With my Geosister what a view. Can see we’re we have just driven and can see we’re about to go. Hope we make it. One bog so far. Lucky to get out.

An extended weekend with the main destination of the 4WD border track between South Australia and Victoria. Friday consisted of an early start from Adelaide to Ngarkat Conservation Park, and along the way, a few small detours and the Geopets series just outside of Tailem Bend. On Saturday, we tackled our primary purpose of the weekend traveling along the one-way border track, and finally, on Sunday, we left the camp to complete some nearby geocaches and finish the This is SA geoart series near Bordertown, before traveling back home to catch a flight to Brisbane.
Today was the big day 4WD'ing from the start to finish along the border track. We started the day with a few geocaches around the camp, and a walk to the nearby EarthCache, before setting off on our journey. There were many adventures and laughs, and I think my jeep did well in at least attempting many of the dunes and hills. There was a field repair that was conducted, and a few vehicles needed some extra help getting through some soft sand patches. There was even some extra motivation been spoken through the radios by the Supa-team, haha. It was a fantastic group with a mix of Victorians and South Australians, and even a Queenslander who joined us for a section of the track!. The teams consisted of becNmonts, bucketeer, DAB, echocage1, Freddo, Geoturtle37, gridge98, papi 4506, Posums, Malco!, micaparamedic, mogni, Na’wal, sir_spectre, The_Tritonz, and the family team of Csaba!, SupaOrange, and SupaTurtle. There were also a few geocaching teams who joined us at the start and finish events, such as Brad&Janet, and Laighside Legends.
We stopped off here for lunch, and a great location to see everyone come up the hill. One vehicle needed some extra help actually. Nice to have completed this 2004 virtual oldie, with answers sent to the CO, thanks djcache.

Came this way with a crew from SA and VIC. We came and we played in the sand. Great views from here. Turtle Out
Came for a visit with the SA and VIC crew. Our 4WD made it up here. Visited with SupaOrange and SupaTurtle. Was great to see other cars need assistance on the sand hills. Thanks
After touring the Big and Little desert’s during the week I was looking forward to this event as I had already done the top and bottom parts of the track so it was time to drive the fun stuff.
Quite a few of us arrived last night and camped out under the stars, it was nice putting faces to names of some teams that I finally got to meet.
I was enjoying the drive along the track and the friendly banter over the two way.
This one took a bit longer to get to as we had to wait for one of the team to be dragged out so we could make it up to here.
When we all finally made it up to here, we all stopped for a bite to eat and took turns in climbing the structure and of course taking a few pics.
After the stop is was time to keep moving south so we could make the next camp.
Thanks The_Tritonz for organising this great event and for letting me tag along.

It was time to hit the Big Desert. We had camped the night before and met up with many other caching teams early. We all set off for a day of adventure through the sand tracks.
We certainly enjoyed both camps today, travelling the border track with great company. We enjoyed our lunch here and tried to stay in the small part of shade. Details were noted, a few pics taken before we took off down the track again.

Thanks for a great cache.
Thanks for a great cache.
Today was the culmination of our planning, driving the border track !! After spending the previous night under the stars, it was time to hit the track and let the fun begin !!
This was the perfect spot for a bite to eat and a drink. After gathering some info, we made use of the shade here for a break from the sun. Thanks for the virtual !! TFTC djcache

After camping at Pine Hut Soak Last night and a light breakfast the large group of cachers assembled as more vehicles rolled in before we set off to the Border Track for a big day of off-road fun. The Border Track has been on my bucket list for a long time and after missing the last event I made sure I was attending today no matter what.
I wandered over to find this, the trad and trig grabbed a bite to eat and waited for the 4 wheelers to roll in.
The view here is simply amazing

As a member of the Border Event 2019 Mob, I'm happy to post a find on this cache.
The platform provided perfect viewing of the un-bogging events going on the track below us, while the waiting vehicles queued up all the way to the horizon, it seemed.
Answers forwarded to CO.

found with the attendees of the Welcome to the Border 2019 event. We have started down the border track and much fun was had by all. Some of us got to use our recovery gear getting ourselves out, others got pulled out. After bouncing my way through the holes made my the 4 x 4 that just got pulled out, it was lunch time. nice views. I really nice spot to put a virtual and a nice 4x4 adventure to get here. fav point.
After doing a quick recovery on a stuck 4x4 I set off to do this cache. I obtained the answers, only to realise that I can’t send them to the co as the account is invalidated. So if you wish to contact me for the answers, please do so. Thanks so much for placing this cache djcache
A nice and easy find with 20 people all searching .
A massive multi day trip to the border of south Australia and Victoria. The trip consisted of 3 days. 1st day was from Adelaide to the border. Day 2 a drive along the border track and day 3 red bluff to Adelaide via border town.
Day 1: a trip with David Wazza to complete the geo pets series as well as some other caches around Tailem Bend before meeting up with brad & Janet at Tailem Bend and heading to Ngarkat national park for some 4wd and the caches around the area. After finding the first cache an individual decided that we would go down a track that was the quick way, actually a detour if about an hour or so extra. Sometimes it’s best not to follow the GPS.
Then collected some unloved then off to the campsite to meet (the tritonz, micaparmedic, becNmonts, posums, freddo, malco, super orange, super turtle, csaba, mogni, sir_spectre, bucketeer, papi 4506, Na’wal, DAB, echocage1 and laighside legends.
Day 2 was from the event .... to red bluff along the border track collect the caches along the way. At the start of the track one caching team had to pull out due to there car not being up for the track, funny to hear the kids on the UHF at the time turn the situation into a funny one. Mica Paramedics car had some issues with not starting as well as the Jeep hitting the reel tracks showing up the Pajeros, prados and land cruisers. Should of bought a Jeep.
Day 3 David Wazza and I left the red bluff camp spot for the this is SA series, a really fast drive whilst we replaced them all for the CO as requested, although most were in tact. We later went to cache near by and got caught by a farmer for quite some time. Still managed to find the cache though.
Thanks to the Tritonz for a great weekend of organisation and the cache owners for their placements.

A weekend trip out to Pinnaroo to tackle the boarder track and surrounding caches had been in the works for a while and this weekend we were finally able to make it happen. It was a pleasant morning as we made our way south from Pinnaroo, the tracks were dry and reasonebly clear (though there was a fair bit of chatter over the UHF’s from other track users) as we slowly worked our way through the target cashes. It was a good day for me, picking up a few new D/T combinations that I had not yet found and as the sun was setting as we found the last of our caches, we decided to call it a day.

Found in the company of e.gregory1, brisal5, AnyMules, Laighside Legends and Munja during a caching trip along the Border Track, and into Ngarkat Conservation Park and Big Desert. Thanks for the cache djcache!
A weekend in the desert doesn't sound all that great does it? But you add some great companions, Anymules, e.grogory, featherwaite, Laighside Legends, Munja and for a while Brad from B&J. [^]Then you mix in, walking, 4WD ing, walking, caching, walking, camping, walking, camp fires, walking, camp yarns, walking, Ngarkat Conservation Park, walking, the Border Track, walking, The Big Desert and walking. What a great weekend. Did I mention the walking [?]
We stopped and of course we had to climb up and get a group photo. Also got the ubiquitous photos looking both bays along the track. Gathered the answers required and decided to have something to eat. [^] What was really surprising was the number of vehicles that went by without stopping. At least ten whilst we were there. Why wouldn't you stop to take in the views. Answers have been emailed to C.O. and logged in anticipation that they were correct.

Pending answers from my son Mark9375 who will send them on behalf of the 3 of us as we traveled the track together if I can get him to do his logs expect them over the bext few days if not I will Be sending them through. We have been looking at this track for some time The only problem was that the 4X4 component of my ute was playing up and I Just didn't trust it on such a testing trip . Being a typical mechanic I had other stuff to do so It took me nearly 12 months to find enough time to fix the ute and gain confidence in its capabilities . I rang a good freind Geojill-11 and also ran it past my son Mark9375 and plans started to come together for the Easter school holidays. Fast forward to now and we headed of to renmark via the painted Silo trail as we wanted to do the track from as far north as we could and pick up other caches along the way Once on the trail the weather gods decided to throw in a curve ball with a series of 37 degree days and it was dam and incredibly uncomfortably hot in the desert with hardly any shade anywhere but as avid Geocachers we had a goal and pushed on. It was hot very sandy very dusty and hot hot hot. Did I mention hot in Autum of all things lol but we had a fantastic time and the ute performed above and beyound my expectations. Pushing on through the heat and the sand. In two days from renmark to Bordertown we did not see another single person on the track so we had no backup and the track was very well chewed up from the Easter long weekend thankyou very much for placing this cache and bringing us to this Fabulous yet extremely hot place TFTC
Moving along from our trip with 4bait and Geojill_11,Ouyen, Renmark, and now Pine Hut Soak/Pinnaroo (Bordertown Next!)
After peaceful sleep under the stars at Pine Hut Soak,we decided to get our backsides moving along the border track and get going. This was one of the many caches along the track that we gained. Some tough 4wd sections really pushed the car to the limits! And it sailed through smoothly
Pending answer and full log, (expected to be in by Sunday)

Logged with permission. Coruze and I came in through Pine Hut Soak so only part of the Border Track was travelled. Time was not on our side but we could not be in the general area without attempting to find this cache and we did. We gathered the info required at the structure and as we were leaving a group of 3 4x4 pulled in.
Not sure if they were cachers or not, didn't recognise any of them. Extremely happy to get the smily on another virtual before they disappear.
Thanks djcache for the cache. Fav from me.

Wow- what an awesome location.
I really enjoyed traveling the border track by 4x4 - getting a virtual cache was a great bonus as well.
What an interesting feature at GZ - Thanks for bringing me here.

Found along with the hordes of others on the Welcome to the Border Event weekend. Great to collect a few smileys on this track today as we convoyed along taking in the sights along the way. Great to be able to add another Virtual to my tally too. Answers emailed to the CO. My thanks to djcache for highlighting this spot. Adding a fave for the Virtual as they slowly dwindle out of circulation.
Found while out caching for the day as part of The Border Track Team 4WD convoy. Great views from here, probably the best of the day. If Victoria hadn't stolen that mile this cache would have been both feet in one camp.
I take it you've enough emails with the correct answers - you don't need another one.

29/4/2017 - A cool spot for a virtual cache whilst on the Border Track following this morning's event
One of my most favourite days of caching - 4WDing on the border track with the awesome Snap Happy and other cachers.
----------------------
I've had a big, but generally a relaxing couple of weeks away in Victoria from SA.
Ballarat, Border track, Pinnaroo, Bendigo, Wedderburn, Swan Hill, Maryborough, Mt Beckworth and Mt Gambier are just a few of the spots I have visited during my caching trip. There was an emergency room visit, loads of driving, stacks of laughter, amazing food, lots of new learnings (oh my goodness!!), and a wonderful mix of fabulous people.
I am loving this country and getting out and about in it!

A big day out in Mallee country as part of the Border Track event. Weather was kind, company was great, hills were challenging. What a fantastic spot for a cache - a classic virtual too. Grabbed the info while taking a group photo. Thanks for making a cache here - answers have been sent. A fave from me.
A weekend of attending an event and 4WDing in a beautiful bush area: Hell yeah! Bring it on! [^]
Harry and I both attended GC70KAF Welcome to the Border and were amongst some amazingly awesome company for the whole weekend [^]
You could tell the city slickers though..... those who took off home real quick when sleeping at Red Cliffs campsite became a reality
They'll never know what they missed!
Fantastic countryside, magic sand hills and tracks and fantastic weather were the icing on the cache .... ummmm, cake!
12 caches found and the 1 event attended and a massive quality weekend to ensure that the memories last for a long time! [^]
I love virtuals and this one is no exception! Actually this is an amazing virtual as what it brings you here to see is simply stunning! [^]
Thanks so much for placing this way back when and for keeping it going now [:X][^]

Found while out caching for the day as part of The Border Track Team 4WD convoy.
This cache was one of the highlights of the trip, being one of the older caches still around, a rare cache type, and in a rather remote area. It was a good location for a lengthier stop, where we regrouped and had a lunch break. We certainly took in the sights while here and enjoyed the vantage point.
Answers emailed to the CO. Thanks for highlighting this spot with a special cache, djcache.

This has been a great experience getting to here even though someone got bogged but when the tyres were put down to the correct pressure the car was able to pull itself out.
Thank you for placing and maintaining the cache.

Found as part of The Tritonz Border Track Team. I arrived here a little earlier than the others so i was able to take in the views solo. Made the most of the structure and took heaps of pics. The silence out here was amazing too. Answers have been sent to the CO. Cheers
Found at 1:13:00 PM 29-04-17 while travelling with other geocachers after attending the "Welcome to the Border" event. An incredible weekend had by all.

Thanks for this awesome cache. Loved the view. Stayed there for quite a while looking at the sunset. The Tritonz did a great job driving us along the border track. Answers e-mailed by McLookers. Photo attached to McLookers log. Thanks djcache.
We have always wanted to drive down the Border Track after hearing of peoples fun 4WD adventures on this one way track. Having planned with McLookers and Tomstache to visit the Little and Big Desert today with targeted caches in mind , this was the highlight of the day. With our PSI down to 20 ( maybe could have gone lower) we approached the Vitual location with ease in our Landcruiser. After jotting down the relevant information we then stood back to enjoy the pretty sunset and soak in the magnificent views.
Information emailed.
**Thanks djcache for sharing this great spot with us.**

Visited this afternoon with Tomstache and The Tritonz. This was a lot longer trek than we anticipated but the experienced Mr Tritonz (in the Land Cruiser!) made it look easy!!! We took some shots and we have e-mailed our answers. Amazing sunset too. Thanks djcache.
The border track is a favourite trip for us from Adelaide. Have stopped here before but never realised it was a cache. The kids loved climbing all over it, thanks.
The Border Track is the highlight for us on a thoroughly enjoyable 6-day camping and 4wd trip through the Mallee. Nice views from here. It is such a pity these old trig points are redundant - there is a fair bit of history here. A fav point from me. Tftc
A very easy trip to the site on 2.6.14 as the sand was damp and hard. Saw no other vehicle in the park. TNX for the cache
We found this on our short trip from Horsham to Murrayville and back via the Milmed rock and Border tracks. Being a long weekend the tracks were very busy and due to the high traffic load the dunes were well chopped, but still lots of fun. Details for the cache were found and emailed.
I have given this a Fave point for its location. GREAT drive to get here and a fantastic view.

Found it at the trig. Interesting climb after the track has been hacked during holidays but made it. Fewwww. will send details after.
Heading into the area with the Vic Scout 4x4 Service Unit. We came up here as a fun weekend away and also to check over our cars before heading into the Simpson Desert and other tracks for a month long trip this August. Last time i was here caching a few years back i drove straight past the trig point as there were so many other cars on the track it was hard to stop. Only after i passed it did i notice i missed a cache. This time i was on my list as a must do.
And it was worth the stop. A lovely view from up there in all direction. Thanks for getting us to stop here.

Following the Border Track with a tag-a-long, very busy today. Collected the required cache info (and emailed to the CO).
An enjoyable trip

Had a great time getting here - with Mrs DISK at the wheel of the truck !
Took your advice on the camera and got some great pic's as well .
Surprised to see we're the first to log a find here this year [8]. First virtual we've been able to visit in quite awhile as well.
Took in the views. Left other travellers to do the same. Collected the required cache info (and emailed to the CO).
Thanks DJcache.
Mr DISK's turn to drive the track south now - no chicken tracks were taken by either of us [^]!

Found this structure while doing the Border Track on the weekend with friends. Eight vehicles. Hardly saw a sole until we descended on the Red Bluff camping ground where I think half the state had decided to camp for the night. Wow - it was busy. Had a fantastic time both travelling the track and camping. Thanks for the cache.
Second time I have been here. Won't be the last. We set off from Pine Hut Soak by ourselves, leaving a group of ten cars we were with the past few days. Left at 7:00 am. and watched the sun rise over the distant horizon. We only got stuck once on one of the biger dunes, couldn't go forward or back, until I let the tyres down a bit more and used a lots more momentum and we were away once more.
Thanks dj awesome cache spot.

Stopped to admire the view while traversing the Border Track. Only opened on the 1st April and already quite cut up on the major climbs. Still a good trip with some muggle friends who are destined to become hooked on caching.

Had the Border track to ourselves today. Did not see another vehicle all day, only the local fauna. Thx djcache for the cache. A nice drive
The Border Track was like Parramatta Rd today, as the Victorian school holidays started this weekend and everyone seemed to descend on the place – ironically perhaps to avoid the rush of the coming long weekend.
Just as we were leaving the lookout, two or three different groups totalling about 15 vehicles arrived, and we were to encounter them all again at various times during the day.
As for the cache, an e-mail was fired off to djcache with the required answers and the view and serenity was enjoyed, albeit briefly .

as a member of the old farts bash we were there had fun climbed the platform and had a good look around
Found while on the Border Track. Interesting to be in two states at the same time. Cache was found while on the Moderately Old Farts weekend. TFTC
Visited while birthday-bashing with moderately-old farts. Easily an outstanding feature of this at-times gruelling track, with great views and lame planking attempts that were beheld by all involved . TFTVC, djcache.
Always good to be in two places at once. Found with 17 carloads of geocachers on the way to the Moderately Old Farts Birthday Bash organised by the Burtons. TFTC dicache. Email is on the way!
A well earned rest with some fantastic vistas shared with the rest of the enthusiastic 4x4 geo cachers/plankers, so far so good for the grand vitara, email is on its way TFTC djcache
Found with a group of geo-4WDriver/cachers on our way to Moderately Old Farts Birthday Bash in Ngarkat Conservation Park. Sending the email. Thanks djcache.
Found while attending the Moderately Old Farts Birthday Bash weekend.
Interesting structure and great views while watching the cars climb the dune
Yes I had a lame attempt at planking
Cheers and thanks for the cache

I know I have not emailed the answers through, but I am trusting my other half (setsujoku) has.

Once Jimbo had the car park sorted out it was time to get on with the caching. A nice easy cache, but it is really the view that is worth the stop. You can see for miles and miles and miles!
This is a cache that I've always wanted to do, and wasn't ever sure if I'd get the chance to, but with the new Patrol, and great people to do trips like this with, I get the feeling that I'm going to have to start reviewing the caches that I might never get to.

After not having a 1/5 cache for 7 years who would have thought I would get 2 in one weekend.
Lovely views from here.

#1291 Found this on a tour of the Ngarkat Conservation Reserve with DazzPete. Our caching companions had been here 12 months previously but missed some caches along the way....thus the idea for this subsequent trip was borne. Had beaut weather however there were heaps of people out and about this weekend meaning that some of the approaches on the Border Track had been scalloped out make for some very bumpy travelling. Still it was well worth it with some fantastic country to be seen. When we arrived at GZ there were 3 cars & heaps of people - we weren't sure how they all fitted back into their vehicles when they left. TFTC djcache - top spot - answers have been emailed. Cheers [^]
Found while on a 4wd trip with a bunch of non cachers , for this one They were told on the 2 way " I'm stopping at the top of the hill " to my surprise our little group stopped and made the short walk to GZ to admire the view .
I have been wanting to do this track now for some years and was well worth it , loved it and the sand hills for the car !
Didn't get a chance to find Tops Mug cause were were on a Cannon Ball Run through the desert but did get within 250 mtrs of it .
Thanks for the cache and challenge djcache and already looking forward to coming back with a caching group .

Finally we can tick this one off our list of to do caches. Thanks for taking us out there and seeing this track. Answers are in an email.
Had a great time in Ngarkat and went up all the hills the hard way. Sometimes a couple of times as we didn't make it the first time.
