+Brooklyn51 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I spotted this trail of caches in South Dakota on the map and thought it was pretty cool. Someone went to a lot of work and planning for this. Here's the link for the first cache in the series. Be sure to pull it up on the map and scroll back a bit. http://coord.info/GC1GPZ0 Quote
+wiseye Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Very cool...Way better than a power trail! Quote
knowschad Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Those Sioux Falls guys are nuts... in a good way. They've been into crazy geocaching for years. Its been a couple years since I've gone over that way, but I think its time for another trip. Quote
+badger10 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 The only problem is it takes a lot of power to follow the trail to South Dakota. I know there are quite a few similar type series in the US. I wonder if there is a list of these type of series? Quote

jholly Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Can it be seen from space? Yes you can make out the start of the trail around the letters. Quote

+taggdog Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 That takes some serious planning! Too much work for me but it would be cool to find them all. It would look extra cool with all smileys. Quote
+Isonzo Karst Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Idaho Thunderbird, look here http://coord.info/GC36AKV and another in Florida, the CREW Rookery series link is for the GC.com map http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/default.aspx?lat=26.3375&lng=-81.626667 Edited November 26, 2011 by Isonzo Karst Quote
+hukilaulau Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 That series is fun to look at on the map, but if you're in SD and want a numbers run that will give you a great hike as well, try Sica Hollow. There are something like 90 caches in this remote park. They've been there a year now and most only have half a dozen finds. I was FTF on one that had been in place for six months. Quote
+Mitragorz Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Idaho Thunderbird, look here http://coord.info/GC36AKV Ok, that one is AWESOME! Quote
+wimseyguy Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 There is a smiley face at Lake Lure in NC. Granted, it is a lot easier to make the artwork with all puzzle caches like here and the peace sign in Seattle. But it works well in areas that don't have wide open expanses like they have in CA/NV/UT/SD. Quote
+Brooklyn51 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 WOW! Those are all awesome! Quote
+Ambient_Skater Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Looks like the description has been written to preempt every possible issue. "...do not park in the follow locations: in an intersection" I wonder what happened for them to come up with that one? Quote
+WarNinjas Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 That is really cool! Must have taken some work to set that up! -WarNinjas Quote

"...do not park in the follow locations: in an intersection" I wonder what happened for them to come up with that one? You would think common sense would be a requirement for a drivers license but we all know drivers that have none. One time I was on a four lane one way bridge when the car in front of me did a U-Turn and started going the other way. But about the topic at hand, that Jet pattern trail in Idaho is awesome. Quote
+popokiiti Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Wow! Lots of work went into this, and judging by the logs, it is greatly appreciated by the cachers. Shame it is so far away........ Quote
+JesandTodd Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Idaho Thunderbird, look here http://coord.info/GC36AKV Ok, that one is AWESOME! That IS awesome!!! I wanna go! Quote
+The_Incredibles_ Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 That's very cool! We don't have any cache series like that where we live. Here's my fav line: "Geocaching and related activities in any form are inherently extremely dangerous." Bring it on, baby! Quote
+jellis Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 They call them GeoArt instead of power trails Quote

Here's my fav line: "Geocaching and related activities in any form are inherently extremely dangerous." Bring it on, baby! closest to you would be in Washington state. The PEACE SIGN series and another one near Seattle. There are some in Canada but I think they are in the Eastern provinces area. Like New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Quote

+Pure Cane Sugar Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Some of these are truly amazing! I'm barely even a beginner, but I'm lucky enough to have the MOGA "Skull and Crossbones" practically in my back yard! I should have plenty to keep me occupied for a while. Quote
