Yorkes Geocaching – Day 1

I awoke to more noise coming from the hall next door. This time it was the setting up of the Polling Booth – how convenient, I now knew where I was going to vote.

I went into vote and they said I wasn’t a local – wonder what gave it away. Placed the vote and hit the road grabbing some caches at Black Point and Port Julia.

The weather was so different from overnight with sunny skies and calm water in the Gulf. There were a few fishermen on the various jetties but other than that it was fairly deserted.

I moved inland to Curramulka which was a little geocache hot spot. From the signs here, I could see where the Rocky Glen Grommets got some of their pathtag designs.

It was time to play in the mud again and head back to the coast to Port Vincent and then down the coast to Stansbury. Found most of the caches at Vincent but had a poor find rate at Stansbury :-(.

Kept moving down the coast to Wool Bay with a few multi-cache finds before stopping for the night at the Edithburgh Caravan Park. The weather was looking to be rough again tonight and so grabbed the last cabin. The football was in town so accommodation was tight. The best thing was they had free wifi so I could log my finds for the day. (Bradley had my Vodafone dongle in the snow so free wifi was great.)

Total Finds for the day was 78 geocache finds with 9 DNF’s – not a bad days work but well short of where I wanted to be.

Bradley’s Snow Trip – Saturday 21st

These are my entries from Facebook for those that aren’t my “friends”:

08:00 Woke up after 7 for the first time in a week. Snowing outside too

08:35 Ceebs getting out of bed, so hungry though

12:39 Snow is incredible today, too bad i have noone to share it with 🙁

Tummy’s rumbling, lunch time!

16:34 Snow was epic today. Best runs were Last Hoot and Milky Way (run under Falls Express). First ever stack for 2010. Was at the top of Milky way and hit some powder which flipped me sideways down the hill. Landing was soft though 😛 Just before that on the previous Milky Way run I hit a huge lump at high speed, getting ma…ssive air and landing upright in a huge pile of powder and skiing off as usual

16:43 No clue what to do… GTA?

19:44 Annoying how it takes longer to prepare and clean up a meal, than it does to actually eat it

20:06 There is absolutely nothing to do here after the lifts are closed and tea is eaten
