zedo99 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Looking for someone who would want to do a long geocaching walk. Starting friday night in Oceanside CA 92058 and walking south along all the beach towns. Stoping to eat and sleep in maybe motels or what ever we find. By sunday we should make it to San Diego where I will have a friend bring us back to Oceanside. Anyone interested must be in good health and be able to walk ALOT 20-30 miles a day easy. I think this will be alot of fun and we will see alot. If your interested send me a email or post here. Quote Link to comment
+bluedog23 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd love to join you for part of you walk ! Please be aware, we are in our peak tourist season, anything Motel/Hotel wise is likely to be very scarce unless you book ahead ! Please stay in touch ! Quote Link to comment
zedo99 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I did not think of that! worse comes to worse I will go back to my barracks and sleep. I want to find atleast 100 caches though. Quote Link to comment

Depending on how adventurous you are.....crash where you fall in a sleeping bag ? I'm trying to think a way around the motel gig.... Quote Link to comment
+bluedog23 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Also, you might be able to catch the "Coaster" train back to O'side ! Edited July 9, 2012 by bluedog23 Quote Link to comment
zedo99 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yea the train is a good idea, after I do this adventure I want to do one taking the coaster to Escondido and working my way back. Sleeping bag is a good idea, but I would like to have some one with me to be more safe. You never know who you might run into. Id like to do some night hunting. Quote Link to comment
+Postholedigger Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Unless you're stuck on the beach walk idea, there are a few local "mini power trails" where if you tackled one trail a day, you could easily come out with a hundred or more, especially if you used a bicycle. San Luis Rey River Trail (SLRRT) Oceanside: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=803f1611-2f9b-4f1a-a3f1-83f936bf5b30 BikeNCache (U.S. State Series) Poway: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=56e63058-7701-47a5-a950-d3a22cfccaf3 HikeNCache (Elements Series) Poway: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=245480ab-f0f5-495b-b07e-6a550a12667a Those are just the ones in North County. There are plenty more further south but these are within fairly short distance from Pendleton, where I assume you'll be based out of. If you want to hit an area that's covered in caches with a wide assortment of sizes and styles in a non-urban setting, I would recommend the Calavera area in Carlsbad: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=c6e6810d-0b18-4411-acb6-619a8096de1b Quote Link to comment
zedo99 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Very open to those spots. So long its not way off the beach towns. I will be on foot. Quote Link to comment
+Don_J Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 How long of a day of walking are you planning? The average person walks at about 3 MPH. 30 miles would take 10 hours. Stopping for a 100 caches would take how long? Add lunch and dinner. What you are planning sounds very ambitious, but fitting it all in in a day starts to sound like work, not fun.
