Caching in between events.Thanks for the cache

Out for a long stroll before it gets too crazy hot. And trying to find a few geocaches along the way.I sold the puzzle with a little help from the owner. And was able to find container fairly easily.TFTC.

Is there still a clue about how to solve this puzzle at the listed coordinates? Because its basically in or near the middle of a major road. And I cant see anything in 360 around me that would help me solve the puzzle.

From 2023 street view the clue is still there but you need to move South a bit as it may be blocked by trees from the posted coords. However the puzzle image looks like it may have an issue regarding the letters?

Well the puzzle solve is obvious from the details in the puzzle.. however the hint is just an additional confirmation of the solve method. You need to look at what business is there. GE I don't think will tell you, but street view will...There is nothing wrong with the puzzle, the solve method has not changed, nor have the symbols...If need a hand I'm happy to receive a msg to clarify anything.Cheers

I had to PAF but eventually found the prize

Love the hide. Great ingenuity, well hidden

After wondering why some things weren't adding up, I re-read the description again and suddenly it all made sense.

Find #160
TFTC and the puzzle Hurtle

One of four puzzle caches found today in the hope of qualifying for challenge cache GC5MTHY which I signed in January this year.

An oldie, and a nice variation on the sudoku theme here, and a quick find at GZ after I cheated and used my eyes. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Hurtle.

This morning I ducked out to do a few caches around the Gilles Plains area that I was yet to find before traffic and the human life woke up.

I have been to GZ before here but had no luck in finding the cache, today walked straight up to it and found the cache nicely hidden. Cache and contents are all good

TFTC

Geocaching has taken a back seat for a short while, other things have taken priority. Still feeling pretty tired, I headed out today for some finds, based on strategy and achievements. I started at Grange, then went to outer harbour, Gepps Cross, Gilles Plains, Valley View then onto the main targets of the day at Castambul. A full day, with lots of walking and climbing hills, but satisfaction from the finds that were made.

I had solved this one a month or two ago, and was in the vicinity today to have a look. I did not find it in the first place I looked, but I did find it. Desc is accurate, I just got caught up on how many different ones there was.

Thanks for the cache Hurtle. Nice work here. Cache in good condition.

This was another in the *Weekly Adelaide Su doku* series that I had solved several years ago. At the time, there may have been a checker, but the link no longer worked, and since then, I guess the checker has been removed, so I had to rely on my abilities to have produced the right coordinates.

This afternoon after work, I decided to head north-east, spending time in Gilles Plains and Modbury. With limited time left in Adelaide, I tried to concentrate on the higher D-T geocaches, but otherwise making stops at any other caches along the way. As my outing approached dinner time, I decided to then return home.

Whilst in the area, I decided to make a stop here, and subsequently I made a quick find of the cache with thanks to the hint. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Hurtle for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After the nearby Vegan event where no one ate Vegan I decided to spend the rest of the day collecting caches in the Northern suburbs. Found 20 or so and managed to avenge some prior dnf which was great. Managed to get sun burn on my neck what a change in the weather to yesterday.
Have looked for this one twice and dnf both times today I put my hand on it in the first place I checked. Go figure good to avenge this one. TFTC hurtle

TFTC

I had solved this some time ago but hadn't been out this way much since then. This morning I was in the area so stopped to look. Thanks to the handy hint the cache was soon located in the suggested manner and I was on my way again. TFTC

Stopped by today, cache is where it should be...
The structure is no longer the same colour as the original cache was! Faded severely!
Checked the co-ords and even after 5 mins of averaging, the best I could get is within 6m, so use the hint and be stealthy.
Have fun...

Cache #2069.

This afternoon, I need to go to Oakden for business. Why not find some caches on the way? Tried three puzzle caches, and found all of them.

The puzzle has been solved by J many many years ago. We had a try back on that time, but unsuccessful. Today, I noticed the gate was open. Cache has been found in the first place I checked.

I was worried about if the cache is still there, since no one found it for the past 7 months. In fact, cache was still there, and a bit obvious. After signing the log, I placed the cache a little further, to make it less obvious for muggles. As for cachers, it should be easy to find.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache, Hurtle.

Found on our 2018 mega trip with Roostaman.
Thanks for the cache Hurtle, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,

**# 22064** Found on our 2018 mega trip from NSW to QLD, the NT, SA and beyond.
Another fine sunny day for a drive to the shops again while at Adelaide.
Many muggles around today and mostly good quick finds.

Another Tuesday Caching capers for the puzzled puzzler's group. Today's crew of myself, Mrs. SA Sewer Rats and Doctor Owl headed out expecting Blackadders to joins us. Alas he was a late scratching as his worshipfulness was required elsewhere. [8)] Over the last few weeks, well months we had been searching out unloved caches hundreds of kilometers and it was time we spent a day around town getting the latest BFE's and solved puzzles. Of course there would be others to collect whilst we were passing. [8)]

It had been five months since I was last here for a DNF but I had seen that the cache had been replaced since then. [^] So I called in and made a very quick find this time.

**Thanks Hurtle for this cache. **

Found it! Yay! Took a little bit of searching but soon found. Found while on holidays in Adelaide. Enjoyed working out the Sudoku the night before. TFTC

Trying to clear up a couple of dnf on way to event. I still have a couple of dnf TFTH again

Sudoku's are one of those things that I can have a spurt of interest in every now and again. So it was good to have an incentive to solve a few - nothing like coords to a cache as a prize.

I saw that Brad&Janet had replaced this one, so I headed to GZ on my way to a couple of BFE solves. Almost dislocated my shoulder with my initial searches for the cache, but finally discovered an easier way of working out where it was. Retrieved, signed and replaced between muggle action nearby.

Thanks TeamHurtle

This was one I had solved some time ago along with the rest of the series. As they are widely spaced finding each one has been a matter of opporrunity.
Today I was near this one but no luck searching. Despite a very good location hint. I rang the CO but no answer. Oh well.
However as I was in the car about to leave the CO rang back. I explained where I had checked and he agreed that was the correct location. After a little discussion I asked if he would like me to replace it as I had a spare container of the requisite type. The CO was happy with that and so now the cache is good to go again
TFTC yet again hurtle

Another Tuesday Trekking day out with Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rats. Today's target was to go and find some Multi caches and more puzzles but of course any others that were in the vicinity of those target caches. [8)]
Have had the puzzle solved (like all the others) for such a long time and just waiting for a time when I would be just passing. Today was that day and I had a previous finder with me so should be an easy find. So first visual sweep front and back, nada. Didn't have to PAF for help so I just asked. Around thereabouts. Where the fences meet as per the CO's maintenance log. [^] So had a good feel thereabouts but got nothing. Have to have another go when passing this way again although it has been a year now since a find. [:X]

**Thanks Hurtle for the search anyway. **

Epic fail here couldn't find anything at my calculated GZ other than the neck of a broken beer bottle will need to double check my coords I think. Tfth

Logging today but we know we found this one ages ago while on our return from a puzzle night with th Rats. TFTC

Made quick work solving the mystery but took longer to find the actual cache. Thanks

Solved the puzzle last week and placed this one in my TBF list (Albeit short, coz once solved, i like to go grab them asap). Today was the day to go grabski. Sun 26 Feb 2017. I made my way to a Muggle-Free GZ and made a swift find. Soon after I found the booty and was signing the log a cyclist arrived and played on her phone for a bit about 15m away from me [:(!]. I thought she was a Cacher, false alarm... [v] Cachers are usually friendly and she would have most likely said: "Are you a Cacher?" and the talk would have started, but unfortunately she was, one of "Them" ha ha Log signed at 11:10. Placed the cache back whilst she had her head buried in her phone and looking the other way The cache and it's contents are all good and dry [^] TFTC Hurtle

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Since commencing caching I had opened this one a few times, looked at it, tried something and closed it again. Recently though I opened it up and the solution jumped out at me and soon had coordinates. Plotted and looked good and into the TBF queue till the right moment.
Had tried to make the find several times, but every time I was muggled out of it. Tonight I was in the area and still had cache for the day to find and stopped by. Very few muggles this time and after a short search made the find. Signed log and replaced. Finally this one is off the list.
Gratias pro cache Hurtle

We've actually DNF'd this cache back in 2006, but obviously forgot to log it. Not to worry, after a ten year break we've returned for a second look, and found it!

The Weekly Adelaide Su doku series may have been hidden on a weekly basis, but we seem to find them on average at the rate of one every two years. You just can't rush through a good cache series. That's our motto.

Thanks Hurtle.

Finally got this one! Had solved ages ago, looked for it for my 100th but didn't find. Was finally back in the area today and made a quick find TFTC 4/12/2016 5:06 pm Find #1635

Happened to be going past GZ this morning, so stopped by local store to get a shiney new, and appropriately coloured, cache container.
Eventually found the cache, without going in the garden or gates, about 3m from where it should be.
Checked the coordinates, only to find they are out by 8m. Not bad for nearly 10 year old coordinates from an old Yellow Etrex. So go a little south to where the fences meet.
Happy caching

No lid and no plastic bag to keep the log book from getting wet.

Checked with previous finder as to the state of the cache.
Whilst it seems to need a replacement container, the logbook is dry in its's hide, despite rhe deluges we have experienced in last few weeks.
I will endeavour to replace the cache with a shiny new one in coming weeks.
Thanks for your input, and if future finders can stay out of the garden and **not** enter either of the properties to retrieve, it is not necessary and would be greatly appreciated.

I solved this puzzle over 5years ago and today as a group assault located the cache.
Love sudoku so a fav point from me.
Cache needs repair as lid missing and log could get wet as no plastic bag either.
TFTC

Today we set off to get a few puzzles and Multis that have been worked out by different parts of today's group consisting of Rod81w, earthlight & sneaky squeaky, i was happy to play chauffeur for the day and a lot of laughs were shared during the day, squeaky captured a lot of pokemons along the way. we got to see some well put together cache hides and its nice to have a lot of these puzzles crossed of the do list. TFTC

A straight forward find at night whilst on a spontaneous caching run with CP.

Thanks for the cache TeamHurtle

I have had this one solved for sometime.
After a meeting of the minds.
Puzzles solved we stopped by to pick this one up TFTC

jacknor needed to drop some furniture off to lovecub9 last night and drafted me for extra muscles, I asked rod81w ( even more extra muscles ) if he wanted to come and the deal was struck that he would if this cache was found since he solved this puzzle. Turns out jacknors geomoblie lacks torches so cache was found under the light of phones.

Get a call asking if I wanted to help with furniture, luckily im still on holidays. Dont get out this way much and knowing that I had a sudoku solved I said yes. Note to self: remember to pack the torch next time
Thanks hurtle and another sudoku crossed off.

had to move furniture for geo daughter. sir_spectre price for help was finding this cache ( as not in usual caching zone ) and rod81w was asked along for extra muscles.

Found the cache quickly after some help from a friendly cacher. TFTC!!!

On our way to the Christmas event at Golden Grove with hevwalker12 & CPWanderer.
A quick stop to grab a cache with a little help.
Thanks for the cache Hurtle

ronso solved the puzzle last week at work during lunch break :c) a little tricky to find at night time, but red eventually spotted it. TFTC and the quzzle!

Out this morning doing some caching with CP Wanderer.
Our final find for the morning, CP Wanderer had this one solved and ready to go, arrived at GZ so many potential hiding spots, fortunately when looking from the right angle the cache was easy to spot, signed the log and we were off.

Found with the gracious help of D&V&L. Thanks for the hide!!

Found quickly after a stroll through the gates. TFTC. Cheers

Finally! Wow this cache was a doozy for us. TFTC
Found with schmackei

Great hide. Had to come back a second time once i saw someone else found it as was not able to locate when first looked. Started second guessing if i solved the puzzle right. Tftc.

Nice to drop past and sign off the puzzle.
Took a while to 'see' it
tftc

We enjoyed this variation on the traditional Sudoku format and a solution was soon in hand. Today we went to look for the cache. It took a little while to locate but when it was in hand, our GPS indicated that we were almost 10m from GZ. We wondered if cache crepe could have occurred. The cache and contents were in good condition. We returned the cache to where it was found. Thanks Hurtle for the puzzle and hide.

No luck today for us. Searched and felt everywhere but couldn't feel it. Not sure if it's muggled.

A nice quick find after work
tftc

I solved this one a few months ago in preparation for my trip to Adelaide. Great spin on a sudoku puzzle. Quick find at the geozone. Thanks for the cache.

+1 fav point.

#953

I had a day off work and decided it would be a good day to go for a drive to "the badlands" to find some of the puzzle caches that are sitting in my solved puzzle folder.
So I headed off with my water bag and all my notes and maps. [^] [^]
I had solved this one along with the other Weekly Adelaide Sudoku puzzles a long time ago but this was the first opportunity I have had to find the cache, which I did today.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Huurtle.

This puzzle did my head in. It was such a relief to finally get that cache into my mitts. TFTC Huurtle!

Can't have too many more of these to go. Felt like I was feeling my way at GZ. After letting my fingers do the walking for a couple of minutes they finally bumped into the cache. TFTC Huurtle.

Nice one. Thanks Huurtle [^]

Find #596

Found with GrimRaider on our way to Port Augusta on our SA caching road trip. Solved this one at home last week. Our gps had us about 25m away but geosence led us to GZ. TFTC

Mr Tardis was in the area today, after attending the Maker Madness event at the Clovercrest hotel. I stopped by here to "cop a feel' to find a cache

10 Weekly Su doku puzzles down, and 2 more to go.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache TeamHurtle.

Thanks for a fun twist on the usual Su doku theme [^]

This morning I rode out to the far flung reaches of the north eastern 'burbs to see what I could see.
At GZ I couldn't see a cache [:o]
Unusually for this place, I could not see any muggles either [:o]
So I let me fingers do the walking and had the box in paw a couple of minutes later

Had all these sudokus solved a long time a go, and today while in the area, I thought I would drive past in the dark to see if I could get it without worrying about the boogie man - needed another find for my 31 days of caching and this did the trick nicely.

I tried to feel around for it at first, then realised the gate was open at the establishment and just walked behind and found it easily. TFTC

Found with ParisLaura in the dark, this was for my cub/scout geocaching comp. TFTC

Nick worked out the puzzle last night, then today we went for a walk and a search. The puzzle took longer than the find, although we looked in a few spots before Lozzie made the final grab!! TFTC

Rdo and out collecting supplies, I stopped at a few solved caches. Take this road often as a bit of a shortcut.

Tftc love a bit of sudoku

After leaving Freddo's X marks the spot event, Honeysucker and I continued to do the locus cache thing until about midnight, then I headed for home from his place and found two more caches on the way. Well, I had to make sure I had a cache for Sunday
I had first looked at this cache ages ago not long after starting to cache and had no idea on how to solve it but it seems knowledge can be gained as my find tonight shows!
Finally I got to return to this area and claim a smiley here... having started to 'see' clearly
I definitely clearly saw the cache when approaching GZ as it was lying on the ground, in the open.
Replaced where I thought it should be, about 10cms from where it was lying.

Dr Owl was showing Sister Raven roughly where she could find the cache. After they got the Cache Sister Raven had to do the clue to it. i think i did it wrong. "D
Just as well I have a Mum who knows how to do these things!

Your cache was found as part of Sister Raven’s Australian Scout Geocaching Competition entry.

TFTC - Found on my way home from work - Braille Sudoku was somthing new

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache. I will have to tackle your 16 grid sudoku, that will be a challenge .

After three days of celebrating Semik's birthday at the "Gonna Soak up the Sun event" it was time to head north traveling with alansee and try our luck with some Adelaide caches. Every time we come to Adelaide our Sudoku skills get better, at least they are not as hard as they could be. Having sorted out most of this series before leaving it was time to try and find some, especially since we had caught up with the cache owner at Semik's party. Looks like luck was on our side as this one took less time to find than solving the puzzle did.
Many thanks TeamHurtle

Found with Team Crackers on a trip to this fair state. Sometimes older caches like this do not last that long but this one was safe and sound, thanks TeamHurtle.

Our 260th find, and also our first puzzle cache! After sticking solely to traditional hides, we decided to branch out and start tackling the other types of caches in the area. It's been years since we've tackled a sudoku, and the added twist certainly spiced things up a bit! Thanks for the great hide

Took TB for a journey.

Hurtle, about that Sudoku Owl said couldn’t be solved. She found the cache using a bloodhound, BFE style with no coordinates, aided by her impeccable sense of direction, granted by magnificent psychic powers and... Oh, all right, she solved it and the cache really is there and to prove it Owl put a geocoin in it.

Stopped by after work.
All good, slight adjustment to where it should be to correct cache creep!

Been meaning to thank Sneaky Squeaky for the new container and other maintenance he did last year when I was on a sabatical from caching.

Challenging puzzle but finally got the right answer tftc

Solved this puzzle some time ago, but only just got round to going for the cache today. Area was almost completely muggle free today so the find, sign and replace was achieved quickly! Love the puzzles in this series! TFTC TeamHurtle!

Interesting twist on a sudoku.
After the puzzle, cache was not to hard.
TFTC.

Easy find on a Sunday [8]

Coincidence had I that I met the creator of this series at the Pub event in the city today, about 10 hours after finding this cache.

This was my third trip to GZ. Twice before the access to the area was 'closed off' after dark, so today I decided to visit at the busiest time of the day for this location, 8 am. Funny enough with that much traffic about nobody takes any interest in the guy on the mobile taking shelter from the rain and a quicker than expected retrieval was made.

So another weekly Sudoku bites the dust, but the next one will be a bit harder either because of the terrain rating or the remoteness of the cache.

Tftc TeamHurtle and nice meeting you today

This one had me puzzled.... But I didn't let it beat me.. Tftc

This one did my head in but I was rewarded with a find TFTC. [?]

Muff1 had to help me with this one but we found it in the end. Thanks TeamHurtle

We met TeamHurtle at the pub lunch the other day and he gave me the heads up that we were very near. We went back today and soon had the cache found. Thanks for the help. I certainly have needed to have a second look at several of your caches. SL T 1 x TB TFTC

My second visit here, but this time success.

Can't believe I nmissed it last time.

Found with Team Waldron in a fun night of caching. TFTC

When I found this one It was just there lying in the open however Christmas has came for this fantastic cache hide. I replaced the eclipse tin with a freshly painted one. Got new rules and logbook with pencil. Old log book still in cache. Let's keep this one going for a few more years.

Happy Christmas.

8181 Mrs YuGeo enjoys solving her Sudokus. Loved the added twist you have introduced to the puzzles. Looking forward to the rest in the series.

Many thanks for the sudoku and cache TeamHurtle
Greetings from New Zealand, Cheers YuGeo4

A neat sudoku. I thought this was going to be a no go today, with a muggle sitting at gz, but waited just a minute or 2 a bit away and she was gone. Clear for a search, felt a bit before using the eyes we are privileged with. TFTC
Counting down to 100 mystery caches, 7 to go!

Another puzzle solved by work mate keen on these sudoku's. Signed temp log sheet. TFTC

After getting some help with the location and logging it at a DNF I was in the area so dropped in and looked again

Less muggels today and bright light and guess
what, I found it.

I found the puzzle easer than the search. This time I left the gps in the car and looked with open eyes and a wider area.

TFTC

After a tip on the location I still can’t find the cache. I loved the puzzle.

TFT hunt.

Ill keep an eye on the cache and see what happens.

Fourth caching session of the day! [?] On the way home from a late evening class, I finally got a chance to pick this one up after soving the puzzle months ago, and even dropping by once or twice only to be muggled out severely by "locals".
In the end it was easily found, but that might have been a bit of experience since the first attempt.
Still some room on the temporary log sheet, even after my wonky signature by streetlight.
Thanks Hurtles! I might have to do a few more Sudokus now.

Mrs fluffy did the puzzle on this one some time ago, tonight we were able to grab the cache and sign the log.

Mr and Mrs Fluffy

after a bit of help i finally got this one sorted out
