crawil Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 we are planning a trip from Castle Rock Washington to Tucson Arizona. I looked and did not find a published routes from Portland Or to tucson. Has anyone out there done a route? Yep. Just follow the directions here and you should get your PQ. If you have specific questions, post them. Quote Link to comment
+boda Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If you are referring to a route in Google Earth, there is a 500 mile limit. I would suggest looking for smaller segments. Have a great trip. Quote Link to comment
+Okiebryan Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I know for a fact that there are smaller segments already saved in the PQs. We took the motorcycle from Oklahoma to Oregon in August, and took advantage of routes posted by others... like Amarillo, TX to Gallup, NM....Kingman, AZ to Las Vegas, NV... then Las Vegas, NV to Reno... Reno to Susanville, CA... Susanville to Medford,OR .... etc you get the idea. It just takes a little bit of trial and error to find suitable routes. I found the route segments I wanted, then asked for a PQ of all virtuals within 5 miles of that segment. Loaded em into GSAK, did some sorting, and loaded the GPSr. We didn't do the them all, but we got one or more in every state we visited. 4600 miles, 28 caches in 10 states.... all in 11 days.

+Team Cotati Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Instead of jumping through other people's hoops, I'd recommend just creating your own custom PQ along a route. You will most likely have to make segments that suit your needs anyway and then you will have full control of your own creation. Usually yields a better result for you. And it is one heck of a lot more enjoyable. Edited February 13, 2008 by Team Cotati Quote Link to comment
+Lil Weed Pot and Flower Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 WE did the same trip some time ago from Gresham, OR. I-84 to Boise then took the highway thru Ely south. I downloaded a bunch of caches which looked to be along the road and in and around cities which we were likely to spend the night (pulled a 5th wheel) We found a bunch of really neat areas. I'm a cowboy, Wyatt Earp fan, and like Tombstone but Pioche is a town with a couple geocaches which are not to be passed by. There was very little traffic either which made slowing down and doing the search unstressful. Quote Link to comment
