Road trip series of event caches idea

[+Sparrowhawk]

Sometime in 2007 I am moving to Nevada. I plan to drive there by the most remote 2-lane roads I can find, and take a much longer time than usual to get there in order to enjoy the journey.

 

Crazy idea du jour: set up a series of event caches, planned well ahead, in small remote towns along the route. Call 'em "Road Trip Stop #1" "Road Trip Stop #2", etc. Basically a series of event caches named by number in order of when I expect to be there after the previous event.

 

Basically it's an excuse to meet a whole lotta cachers in their local area along my route as I meander along, bringing travel bugs and whatever fun stuff I find as I travel on through.

 

Maybe I could make an effort before I go to find some TBs who would appreciate a good road trip.

 

Cool idea or somehow... I dunno... (insert random negative thought here)?

 

Also... if it IS a good idea, how would approval work for an event cache I want to set up maybe 600 miles away? That sounds like a difficult thing to approve since I wouldn't live there.

 

Maybe have a blog page with pics and video too... that could be fun.

 

Feedback please.

Sounds like a fun idea . . . events can be as simple as a lunch meeting or a breakfast meeting at restaurants along the way . . . could be no longer than a couple of hours each.

 

Planning ahead, your fellow volunteer approvers can set up the events for you - no worries!

If you can provide a set of coords for a meeting place time and date at least 2 weeks in advance, I would certainly think you could hold an event. The logistics of place might best be handled by emailing a cache owner in the vicinity of your proposed "Road Trip Stop".

This is reminiscent of ClayJar's Alaska Quest. Could be fun!

I think it's a great idea. Why stop at your destination...just keep on caching!
