With Jenny and Bradley doing a first aid course over the weekend and Rachael with a couple of birthday parties, what was the point of me being home. Why not attend a Geocaching Event.
Now where in Australia is there an event on this weekend – Mildura has Let’s Raid the Food Bowl – that will do. It just happened that there were a number of South Australians also attending.
Since we were going over the border to “Mexico”, we needed to assimilate with the locals. All the South Aussies decided that sombreros and ponchos were in order.
I left on the Friday morning, planning to do some caching through the Mallee, Riverland and then along the Murray to Mildura.
Conditions were good in the morning but in the afternoon, the black clouds came in and the rain started coming down heavy. I was on the Old Mail Road between Renmark and Mildura at this time and it was getting slippery, dark and muddy. I got through OK but was to find that another cacher was bogged along the way but was rescued late at night by some other cachers following a few hours behind me.
After a communal dinner in the rain it was off to Cabin 3 for Cabin Party #1 – not a shed party but certainly as much fun.
My count for the travel to Mildura was 26 caches as below:
