+billy robson Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Would someone like to adopt me to be a part of their team on their assault on the ET highway? I am hoping to join a team, as I cannot find anyone from Alberta who wants to attempt this run. I have been caching since 2006 and have found 1915 + caches in many parts of Canada, UK, and Mexico. I want to do the ET highway with a group at the end of June, and am willing to pay my part of the expenses. If there is a team out there who would like to have an international component to there team - I am the one, as I am a Brit living in Canada. If you’re interested e mail me at rodney@glenyce.net Thanks Rodney aka Billy Robson Link to comment
+joranda Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 You could join me and a friend but we will be doing it between Feb 27th and March 4th. We are also doing the Rt.66 series while in the area. It has 800+ caches. If you change your date send me a email. I have the car already rented. It will hold 4 to 5. Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have the car already rented.FWIW, I've heard that the best vehicle for this numbers run trail is a 4x4 vehicle with the doors removed. Opening and closing the doors gets old quickly. Link to comment

Opening and closing the doors gets old quickly. Yeah but I am going for the gas mileage to see how that works. I hate to double back to town for gas. Link to comment
vagabond Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If your going for speed a van with a sliding side door just keep it open 2 cachers in the back rotating places every so often Link to comment

+narcissa Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 You really just need two people - one to drive, one to throw film canisters out the window every 528 feet. Link to comment
knowschad Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Most important of all... make sure you can disable the seat belt alarm!! Link to comment

Gas cans are pretty cheap at any convenience store or Chinese goods big-box chain. Link to comment

+Great Scott! Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I know. It's embarrassing. Link to comment

Pretty sad when you realize what passes for geocaching these days. Geocaching is just a game and we all play the game a bit different than others. You might not like the power trail caches but it did take someone a lot of time to place all those caches alone the E.T. Highway. If you read the over 400 plus cachers that have been there already, I have never seen one say yet, " I hate that you made me do this cache series of yours". I am looking forward to it but I also look forward to doing some of the hard mountain climbs out there too. Link to comment

+aintnorock Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Okay, where's the ET highway? I miss so much stuff when I don't read the forums regularly. Danged job and life! Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 A newbie to the forums, posting a legitimate request, being met with snark, derision, and off-topic agenda pushing. tsk, tsk, tsk. Correct. Please confine posting to soliciting team members for this geocaching trip, and to proper trip planning. There are other threads for expressing opinions on the nature of this geocaching experience. Link to comment
vagabond Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It starts around Ash Springs Nv on 375 through Warm Springs towards Tonapah Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Here is E.T. 001, the first cache of the ET Highway numbers run trail. Link to comment
+joranda Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Okay, where's the ET highway? I miss so much stuff when I don't read the forums regularly. Danged job and life! Look north of Las Vegas and you will find the trail. Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Closing thread because the series of caches is being archived. A post about the archival was split off into its own thread. Link to comment
