+farbrent Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Just wondering what kind of vehicle do people drive while Geocaching. Do you have 4x4's for the off-road cache's? Are there road warriors that mainly stick to the ones that you can drive right up to, or hike back? Honda CRV all the way! Quote Link to comment
+farbrent Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Honda CRV...but it did get stuck in a cornfield once..."oops" Don't we love the whole adventure? Quote Link to comment

+Proud Soccer Mom Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) We've got this: and this: The minivan has geocaching and Waymarking decals. The cruiser has a Waymarking decal. I used to have a Kia Optima that I used and abused with off-roading. I got stuck several times but always kept roadside assistance or AAA (depending on which was cheaper at that time). There was only one time when nobody was able to come pull my car out of the snowbank... but the local sheriff's department helped me sort that one out. I went back and got that cache a few months later when it was Spring and everything was thawed out, then waymarked the heck out of the area. My husband thinks I should only off-road in "all-terrain vehicles"... . He gets really nervous when I drive the minivan through sugar sand. Can't imagine why! One of these days I'm going to get my Scout. - Elle Oh... the Kia stuck in the snow... Edited August 22, 2008 by HauntHunters Quote Link to comment

arnoldjc Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I use a 03 Chev Avalanche (4x4) for the back road. Finding it really hard to get to some place because it's just too big. Thinking about selling and getting a jeep. My little civic gets me everywhere else. Quote Link to comment

+DefaultGen Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Being a 20 year old student, I drive... the cheapest thing I could find! In the next few years I might be driving a Pontiac Aztek.

Jonathancole Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 This is my rig I just built up for exploration and caching.

+coffee/wired Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have an '08 Silverado with the off-road package, so I can go pretty much anywhere. We also have an '81 Honda Accord for the paved roads (uses a lot less gas than the truck.) I really, really, really want a Jeep Wrangler. But I've wanted one of those forever. I want a beat-up old one that I can use and abuse the heck out of. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) One of these: 1998 Buick Regal 1997 Ford Ranger 2005 Toyota Camry Don't have any photos but trust me they are impressive. Especially when lined up side by side with their grills pointing towards you. The ultimate one would be the Buick. I'm convinced that one would survive a nuclear blast if ground zero were 10 miles or more distant. We plan our geocaching trips so that we remain outside the ground zero blast zone.

+geodarts Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Being the hippie tree-hugging make myself feel good at being liberal type of guy I have a Prius, but sometimes I will take out the Yarris that one of our daughter drives when she is not at the university. I would want to cache in a Volt when (and if) it comes out, but given what the university is charging us and how the state keeps imposing furloughs on its workers and the banks are laying people off, I may have to wait for the second or third generation. By then maybe the zen car will actually get the high capacity batteries perfected. But there is a cache 60 miles down a dirt road from Freedonia, AZ, at the Toroweap overlook. I really want to get there if we visit the area next July. But the ranger put the fear of the road gods in us when we spoke to him about it when we were passing through earlier this year. People talk about high clearance and how the road eats tires, particularly the last few miles. But they also talk about seeing sedans in the camping area. So I don't know about taking the rental down there. But for me, this would be a great caching trip so a vehicle that would get me there would be the ultimate vehicle.

Nothing extra, though I have thought about figuring out how to wire up a USB charging point right off the car, so I can plug my GPS in while caching. Quote Link to comment
romac Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 A 2009 Subaru Forester. So far its been the perfect caching machine. It has served me well on urban cache runs and jeep trail caches.

In our area, we like to play "count the Subarus" with the kids. I miss my Jeep though. And if I get a job closer to home, I'd like to get one again. Quote Link to comment
+Cache U Nutter Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Car has now changed since topic opened !!! Now an even more environmentally friendly Nissan Micra !!! Dunno why, but most of the cachers around here drive similar -certainly no reason for gas guzzeling 4x4 off roaders on urban roads. I would like to think the same could be the case in other parts of the World - cannot see the point of these agricultural vehicles unless of course you have a justifyable need to go off road. Happy thanks giving Guys !! Quote Link to comment

mud4x4 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Well I am fairly new still but these will be my geocaching rides. Mainly depending on weather and location of the cache will determine which is used. #1 - 1956 Spyder VW dune buggy on the nice days. #2 - 1987 AMC Eagle Limited 4x4 (same climbing and off-road abilities as a Jeep or Subaru). #3 - 2005 PT Cruiser (the mobile crew transport). #4 - 1996 Chevy 4x4 (the other off-road vehicle). #5 - 1992 Nissan Sentra (the gas-saver @ 32 mpg). #6 - the EXTREME off-road machine, 1999 Haflinger... he gets outstanding mpg's.

knowschad Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 How on earth do these threads keep on popping up, anyway? This one is over three years old! We get new threads posted on micros, permission issues, SBA logs, and so many other issues where the OP really should do the research first and post to a 3 year old log that really pertains to geocaching, yet the "What Kind of Vehicle" and "How Did You Serve" threads just keep coming to the forefront like bad pennys. Amazing! Quote Link to comment
