I am a member of the High Range 4WD Club and this year one of the trips was a big one. It was a 10 day odyssey to the Lincoln National Park and environs. The trip was to include some beach driving, dune driving, relaxing and of course some free time to do some geocaching. 🙂
The actual start time was to be dark o’clock on Saturday morning at Port Wakefield which would have meant getting up well before dark o’clock to get there, so I decided to go a day early, take it easy, geocache along the way and then let the rest of the club catch us up on the Saturday.
By the time I was sorted with the camper trailer hooked on it was 9:30. A detour to Windsor Gardens to pick up Garry and it was time to head north.
We took it easy grabbing some munzee’s and those caches that I have driven past many times but couldn’t stop for.
One of those caches was GC1RPF5 – Ship It, a multi cache in Port Wakefield that ended up in the mud flats and after the rain last night, we now know why they are mud flats. I grew about 2 cm in height with all the mud on the shoes.
We continued north and the rain started to set in around Port Pirie and continued on and off to Port Augusta. We did have a break in the rain at Stirling North in time to enjoy the sunset.
Some tea at Port Augusta and grab some wifi to log the caches so far then off to Fitzgerald Bay near Whyalla to camp for the night. We stayed here last year but this time we didn’t have the Army carrying out night live fire exercises.
