Stop for the Gate ... Markaranka, South Australia, Australia
By firesafe on 11-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3ED74

Out this way on my way home from visiting my daughter in Mildura and the Grandkiddies.Decided to call in on this one.I know the guy who this road is named after as well as the farm nearby.Easy findTFTC SL

Woot woot time for another Tuesday Trekking.A Confused trio, consisting of a Ttrogg, Rat and a Starfish.The plan for today was for the Starfish and ttrogg to meet up with Rat at her nest.Then cache our way to and around the Riverland.We had lovely weather, stories and laughter.This was one of many cache finds on our journey.A quick stop and find for the Confused trio. Tftc

Another Terrific Tuesday Trek for the Confused Trio, this time after meeting at the Rat's nest we headed north east to Gluepot Reserve, the twitcher's paradise. I'd been here once before, nearly 8 years ago, but both the Rat and the Starfish had never had the pleasure. A great place to visit, but I don't think I'd like living here. A satisfying number of caches were found, no DNFs and a bit of maintenance done so another great day out caching. A few caches were found before getting to the track in then all along that track were found before starting work inside Gluepot itself. Needed to leave for homes before clearing the whole of Gluepot so we will be back, sometime.This one was one of fourteen that I wanted. Think we managed to by-pass this gate as there were roadworks in the area.Thanks to firesafe for adding to the playing field with this cache.Cache #14923 for me.*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Something special or unusual goes here:We stopped for the gate but it was not necesary as there is now a grid in place. Seeing as we were stopped we found the cache. The Generic Bit:The usual trio of puzzle solvers were available for Tuesday Trekking today. I met Ttrogg and Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rats at the rat's nest. We headed of towards Gluepot in search of puzzles and anything else we came across. [ As usual a few caches to do along the way and before we knew it we were only at Lock 4 for a picnic lunch! [^] We did make it into Gluepot eventually and found a few caches there in the afternoon. Still plenty to do means we will have to come back! ***Thanks firesafe for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Staying in Waikerie for the long weekend. Headed out today to convert some greenies into TFTC firesafe [^]

Caravan trip to the Riverland. Day 3, Cadell to Gluepot.Those grids are certainly pointy!TFTC

Found on a day out geocaching with FeatherWaite.

Thanks firesafe for the cache.

Found on our way on a caching trip with two nights at Gluepot Reserve and one night at Morgan Conservation Park. The main aim was to find all caches in the Gluepot area, with the added bonus of locating others along the way. Thanks for the cache firesafe!

Found with Kellmik and The Tritonz during our Easter Riverland Rampage!

I stopped. Hellyonfire got the gate. I got the cache. TFTC

Following this afternoon's Community Celebration Event in Berri a small contingent of enthusiast cachers headed to the Gluepot Reserve for a selected few caches...

I was on gate duty and as I was the only one in the group that needed this cache I quickly raced to GZ, signed the logbook, put it back and jumped back in the car...

Thanks to Hellyonfire for replacing the cache container. All good to go.

Replaced container and new book. Old one broken full off water.

Few days checking out the birds at Gluepot and grabbing a few caches along the way

A quick find on the way through to the gluepot reserve

Went for a drive with Jack and Sebastbat,
This gave me something to do while the bat opened the gate
and shut it
Thanks for putting it out there firesafe , we enjoyed finding your cache!

I was a bit taken aback by the 'Private property - unauthorised entry prohibited' sign on the gate until I read the other sign saying I could use the track to get to Gluepot Nature Reserve.

I opened the gate and drove through (closing the gate after me) and felt a little ripple of adrenaline for disobeying one of the signs. Then I found the cache. TFTC firesafe.

Well of coarse we grabbed all the caches along the track as we headed for the naughty Confluence adding to the fun drive through the Gluepot Reserve. My job to be the gate keeper which was fair enough as the other Triton drove the Cruiser through to the next paddock but not before signing the log.
Thanks firesafe for the hide.

A nice quick find on the way to Gluepot. Log was wet so put a piece of paper in a dry bag in the container. TFTC

An easy find, that made it easy to get thw kids out to open the gates!

Heading to Alice Springs for the Mega and we've chosen Gluepot Reserve for our overnight stay. What better way to navigate there than by cache ?

We stopped for the gate, and the cache , but that was all we have a camp to make in Gluepot tonight.

Quick and easy find on the way to Gluepot.

Today was a really crazy adventure of caching with locus cache; About 700kms of driving, 18 caches found including 3 FTFs ? I need to remember when Kaye said it will be a big day out for the next time, Not sure where she gets the stamina for keep going/non stop :O I feel old next to her jejejeje

My first time in this area Gluepot ? is really a beautiful place, we had the chance to see it during day and night time yep we didn't left until we found all the caches in the area.

Sorry for the late log

Needing a day out and a change of scenery, I tried to find someone to come caching with me ....... the only willing victim...Oops, geocacher, was Andy Colombia
Having warned her that it would be a big day, I still don't think that she quite expected to be picked up soon after 8am and then returned at 12.56am... the following morning [)]
About 700kms of driving, 18 caches found including 3 FTFs and some awesome fun drive along a 'not quite a track' track under clear and star filled skies in my Corolla made for a massive but brilliant day [^]
Thank you heaps for the great company, Andy Colombia [:X]

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Found this cache while on our way into Gluepot.
While we did what we had to do, a quick find was made
As Andy Colombia lifted the cache, I wondered who the CO was[?] as there only 2 geocachers I know who regularly use these containers.
Oh, so this isn't a freddo cache but instead it belongs to a fireman
We made sure to leave the gate as we found it! [^]

On a caching trip towards South Australia with J+J.AU. We did many caches on our way and had a great time. This was one of them and hardly any did disapoint! Would do the hole trip over again tomorrow if I could.

Quick find once at GZ, caching here for a couple of days. TFTC

A quick find in the obvious spot. This is as far as we came in the campervan as the track looked a bit sandy from here on. We did go through the gate though - but only to turn around. Thanks.

On the way to Gluepot Reserve for the weekend and stopped at a few convenient caches on the way. This was one of them and a nice quick find [^]
Cheers & TFTC firesafe

We had to stop for the gate so took the opportunity to pick up the cache as well. Cheers. MODU.

Stopped here on a mission today, quick find then on our way.

Good find TFTC:)

The Parrot went for a drive with Shonky and Freddo to Gluepot reserve for the weekend.
Stopped here to find a cache along the way.
Heading into Gluepot with the gang. Taking it in turns opening gates.

Not just a "Good find, TFTC", but rather a the start of a fun filled weekend of caching, bird watching, and edumacating others about the wonders of the GPS system
And here by the gate I found a nice easy to locate cache on the side of the road to Gluepot

TFTC.

Another gate cache to make this aspect of my exit journey a little more fun. Thanks!

Found on a lovely afternoon drive with the hubby....who put me on gate duty!

Quick drive by on a very hot day. TFTC

Having a short holiday in Morgan to do the TDF series and grab other caches in the local area, this being one of them. TFTC SL Left a TB which wants to travel and a pathtag for someone to grab. Worth the trip up the road !

Easy find near the gate.

We stopped for the gate and got out of the car to make a quick find of this cache. thanks firesafe.

Found while travelling around the riverland and trialling our camper

We stopped for the gate (well, duh ) and soon spotted the tell-tale rock. No swaps were made, though. Cheers Scott.

Yep, stopped for another gate...
On the way out, so second time here...
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found at 14:40
Yep, I stopped. This would be more fun if I had someone to open them for me

Another gate, another cache, thanks firesafe.

Another gate, another cache (do I see a pattern appearing here)[?]. Good to maximize the use of getting out of the car .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Firesafe.

It's nice to have a cache to find to offset the incovenience of having to get out and open a gate! Nice easy find on our way out to Gluepot. TFTC

Found on trip to gluepot
I don't know what was worse all the gates or the corrugations
TFTC TN Left Survival Key ring

A quick find and sign, encountered a number of cattle, which added to the trip, glad we did not see the bull, TFTHSL

Not another gate - hey that sounds like a good name for a cache. Thanks Firesafe

Last of about 60 or so for the day on the trip between Adelaide and Gluepot.

After having a fantastic time at the Oz Mega event we had to drop the youngest team member back in Melbourne as she had to return to work Tuesday but we are fortunate enough to have the rest of the week off and as the camper was already hooked up it seemed silly not to just keep going picking up a few more caches along the way.
Watching the GPSr needle count down to this one we had no trouble at all stopping for the gate in fact that was the exact reason that we were on this road. Once we passed through we headed back and located a nice easy find and added our name to the log, no bonnet ornament for us today.
Our thanks to firesafe for the cache.

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Found while out with nic.hil.kel for a day of caching in the area.TFTC

Early morning start out with TheKellyGang thought we would grab a few extra caches after completeing the TdF series TFTC

Found as part of a weekend caching in the Riverland. Found with TWDG, Trail06, Team Waldron, Astro and Freddo! Loved the area, plenty of hidey holes for all the caches! [^]

Found as part of a weekend caching in the Riverland. In the company of Princess Consuela, Team Waldron, Trail06, Astro & Freddo. Stayed at Loch Luna Sat. night, beautiful part of the world
Nice hide, TFTC firesafe

Found on our Tour De Force with Trail06, TheWhiteDogGang, Team Astro, Freddo, and Princess Consuela.

We started at 6.30am Saturday and got home 3.00pm Sunday.

We stayed at Loch Luna on the Murray on Saturday night.

We stopped before the gate. We'd already passed through one to here. Why was there no cache there?

TFTC

The second gate of many on the road to Gluepot. This one is always closed.

Found with Team Waldron on a wonderful weekend of caching through the Riverland. There was Freddo, Astro and White Dog Gang too! We were on our way to Loch Luna after planting lots and lots of caches. The smell from the local piggery was a bit on the nose but it was an easy find. It is caches like this that made our weekend so much fun. While we were there, we located a perfect location for a new cache. As we searched for just the right place to make the hide, we found another new born cache. It appears somebody else had the same idea today! TFTC

Quite right Mr FireSafe. You do have to actually stop.

Thanks to firesafe and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Woot! another FTF to the collection,
Seen this one pop up and had a couple of hours to spare the next morning so off I went, stoped for the gate, logged the FTF, left a pathtag, headed onto Canyonero Canyonero! grabed that , headed back, stoped for the gate again, waved to the cache, smiled at my FTF feeling quite chuffed, then headed off into yonder Oh, and yes, I did shut the gate

Cheers and Happy Hunting,
