For the past 8 years, cachers of South Australia have travelled to a country town for a 3 day Geocaching fun event. This year it was time for the Jolly Jamestown Jaunt on June LWE 2010. This is our second June event having had fun in the mud last year for the Heart of Yorke Maitland event.
Saturday of the event was also the 12th of the month so time for the “12 of 12”. Today was spent going around the town precinct finding 26 locations for the quiz as well as going further afield to hide an event cache.
Each team hides one temporary cache for the weekend with Sunday spent finding all the temporary caches. The further the walk from a roadway, the greater the points for the find.
We also spent the day doing the local permanent caches grabbing 2 FTF’s on some newly published caches. Our temporary cache will become a permanent following the event – GC2A864 – Official GPS Mail Only II. Our cache overlooks the Hallett Wind Farm.
On returning back to the Showgrounds base, we were provided with a spectacular double rainbow to the east. Time for a shower and get ready for the event Dinner – GC29403 – Jolly Jamestown Junket Geocaching Dinner – even though no junket was consumed during the dinner. Another great event within the event with 120 sitting down at the local Commercial Hotel for the meal. The placemat was made up of avatars from the many cachers present including ours.
Back to the showgrounds for some more merriment before some sleep in preparation for the Sunday Find Day.
Cache find for the day:
GC2A2RA – Could it be a Maze? – FTF
GC2A1FK – Jolly aMAZEing Jamestown – FTF
