CACHE ACROSS AMERICA

[+Blue Power Ranger 0]

I just wanted to let folks know that as of today, the entire Cache Across America series has been published.

 

All 50 states are up and the final is in place in Washington DC thanks to Flyingmoose!

 

Rather than continue the umpteen page thread that was used to discuss the setup of this series, I thought it best to start a new thread to discuss the actual search and any commentary related to the search.

 

A lot of volunteers banded together to make this setup a great experience. Thanks again to all.

 

All fifty state caches can be viewed in the bookmark here.

 

The series final can be seen here.

 

Today is a happy day!

Sadly - the Nebraska Cache is in an area that is temporarily closed but will reopen soon. At least one cacher walked in from further parking. Just a note.....

Congratulations to ZSteve and Hopperz on being the first to complete the entire Cache Across America series. I can't believe that they managed to find all fifty state caches and the series final so quickly. That must have been some trip!!!

 

Check out their map...

 

That is awesome! I wish I could have come along.

 

That is one hard-earned FTF.

 

Who's next?

Just so there is no confusion as to whether or not somebody completed a CAA cache in each of the 50 states, I have added archived CAA caches to the bookmark list for easy reference.

Wow, I wish I could have been along on that trip . . .

 

I found the one in Arizona. That one was great! I wish I could find others . . .

Just refound this topic...WOW, a couple of FTFs??? GREAT!! Congrats guys on this HUGE accomplishment!

Those trips for the FTF's sound like a great parent/child bonding experience. And all becuase of a few little geocaches.

Woot! Simply amazing!!!

 

I've added the FTF honors to the Georgia cache's page.

Fab achievement. You inspired our Little Quest in England, to find a micro, which went live yesterday :

Amazing! I would LOVE to be able to do that! I do have a question though, what was the FTF prize?

I did my first CAA cache for my 5000th Find and have subsequently found a half dozen others. They've all been in interesting locations. I definitely recommend this series, whether you think you'll get all 50 or not.

In the last 5 years we've made 5 trips across the country, plus one half way across.  We've only gotten handful of these as they aren't always where we are going.  Besides, with that record, I don't need any motivation to cache across the country.  We've found the oldest cache in all lower 48 states (and half of Canada) during our 75,000 (approx) miles of travel.  Maybe I'll see about using the list for routing across sometime.
