+Sky Rookie Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hey all, I'm looking to plan a visit to the Boise area to tackle the power trails out there. I've done similar trips to CA and NV. Last time there was 4 of us, and it worked out perfectly. Please let me know if any is planning a trip to the area and have space for one more. I'm fairly addicted and would like to spend most of the daylight each day attacking the trail. I'm thinking around May when it gets a bit warmer around there. Thanks, Sky Rookie Quote Link to comment

+lamoracke Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You referring to the geo art south of boise, the railroad or jet engine? I do not like power trails, but these are not the power trails like Rte 66 or ET Highway from what I hear, these are not on the same highway the same hide over and over, they are on BLM land and you have to go off roading to get them.

The "Owyhee Uplands Byway" looks to be a standard power trail with better scenery than XXX miles of generic blacktop. 725+ caches along a 100+ mile stretch of road in E.Oregon/SW.Idaho. Southwest of the GeoArt projects. Never done it myself. Quote Link to comment
FaithCacher22 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I don't know if it's considered "power trail" per say, as I've never done one, but there's a strong line of caches all the way from Boise area through to Mountain Home, and on past, and then again down towards the dunes and Strike dam. I'm hoping to do a good portion before we move out of the Mountain Home area this summer! Quote Link to comment
+ogeoISplash Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We've been wanting to get down there to do them too but I'm not sure when. We have already done the Jet geoart and it is the same cache hide over and over again - preformed pop bottles in pvc pipe but it is off road and we used our 4 wheeler for it so it was a lot of fun. For the train - it is my understanding that you can not drive vehicles to all of them, only some. The rest are walking only. Quote Link to comment
