+Hasty Javelinas Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Used to Geocache quite a bit years ago, and just now getting a fresh start with my better half at my side. What are some must-find geocaches in and around Tucson? Please give me some of your favorites! Quote Link to comment

+eagsc7 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 A Couple that I did that were VERRRY Rewarding were: Tuscon Top(GCB70) - Elevation 9096ft Lemon Lift(GCPRVN) - Elevation 9032ft I was there for 2 weeks a few years ago. These 2 were my highest caches via elevation, but they were Fun to do! The Steaks Quote Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Tuscon Top(GCB70) - Elevation 9096ft oh grr. I wouldn't be a good Tucson native if I didnt have my blood boil with the misspelling of Tucson. TuCSon. You can misspell any other word, but us Tucsonians are quite sensitive on this subject... Used to Geocache quite a bit years ago, and just now getting a fresh start with my better half at my side. What are some must-find geocaches in and around Tucson? Please give me some of your favorites! Are you living there now? Any particular area of town? I've got a few favs. I'll search them and add the, to this post....

+Hasty Javelinas Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Been here all my life, just out of the game long enough to not know which are the really good ones we HAVE to go searching for. I am north-central, but not opposed to driving all over town and beyond. (last weekend was a Santa Rita mountains Geocaching trip) Quote Link to comment

+Hasty Javelinas Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm basically just looking for great caches that are sticking in peoples memory. Don't mind P&G or walking to it, as long as it's a fantastic cache. Thanks for the list. Here is a mixed list. There are plenty of others nearby so you aren't bouncing all over Tucson.
