+Overurhead360 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Saw another thread where some one was asking if a certain car would be a good new car for geocaching. This made me think it'd be a great thread to see everyone's cache vehicles! After all we do the caching on bikes/feet, But its our cars that get us most of the way! Some big, some small, some are TB's themselves. But lets see them! Who drives what?! Tell us about them. Post some pictures! Be sure not to share pictures of any TB stickers unless you want them "discovered" Unfortunately, I'm at work so i cannot post pictures of the vehicles we cache in! But we have in our cache freinds group an '08 trailblazer(undermyfeet) for our offroad needs, and an '10 honda fit(caseysmack) as well as an '03 vw gti(mine) for economical needs, because filling up a trailblazer just isnt cheap anymore! I'll be sure post some pictures tonight or tomorrow of them! (I know, i know, what a poor way to start a thread with no pics, but it's pretty slow at work today) Quote Link to comment

+NYPaddleCacher Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't consider it geocaching until I get out of a vehicle, put my feet on the ground, and start walking. The activity which involves driving from one parking spot to another spot I just call "driving". Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Boots, bike, and sometimes the convertible. Oh, and on my last trip, this was the vehicle of choice: Edited May 1, 2014 by Viajero Perdido Quote Link to comment

HAHA BUT THE TRAIN IN AREAS WHERE THE TRAIN EXISTS IS PROBABLY A GOOD ONE! I HADNT THOUGHT OF IT BECAUSE OURS IS ONLY A "DINNER" AND BACK TRAIN. I've used trains/light rail quite a few times when I'm traveling and have a few hour layover in a country in which I had not yet found a cache. Although there are often caches close to many airports, getting on a train/light rail and going a couple of stops away, and you can actually see some interesting spots instead of the often unremarkable surroundings near an airport. When I had a six hour layover in Tokyo, I took a 10 minute train ride to the town of Narita, then a 20 minute walk to a cache near this spot (the picture doesn't do it justice). Quote Link to comment
+larryc43230 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The cachemobile I've used for the past eight years is a 2005 Honda CR-V. It might not be perfect for off-road fun, but it hasn't gotten me stuck anywhere so far. --Larry Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The Geo-Rabbit 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit (Golf Mk5 for those of you outside of North America) It's been a great car. It's been on a number of unpaved logging roads, some pretty rough, and has gotten me to some great and very out-of-the-way caches. With the recent replacement of the brakes and tires, it's like a new car again. It can be spotted at geocaching events, some FTFs, and just generally parked in odd locations (from the perspective of muggles ) around the region. ...for the German builders of my car: Greetings from Canada! (sorry, I couldn't resist!) Quote Link to comment
+crazyred65 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 92 geo tracker great for those off the road tight place road's you have to drive on around here . Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 My '03 Dodge Ram Quad Cab is what I usually drive. One time, I used my daughter's Miata. It is lots easier to get into and especially out of the truck. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) My Prius will carry my gpsr, our bikes, our kayaks, or my hiking stick. I have driven it down more than a few dirt roads. I could drive it further if it had higher clearance. Edited May 2, 2014 by geodarts Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 For clearance on the logging roads, we use my Nissan X-Trail. For zipping around to urban caches, Popoki Nui's Hyundai Accent is ideal. Long road trips need comfort, so caching along the way and at the destination will be PN's Grand Caravan. Each vehicle has its own travel bug too. Quote Link to comment
+74vwBus Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Bettis, our 1974 VW Westfalia. What's better than geocaching AND camping!? :-) Edited May 2, 2014 by 74VWbusFamily Quote Link to comment
+Crow-T-Robot Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The Blue Bomber. All my life I've driven cars (and compact ones, at that) and it was time to step up to something I have to step up to get into. I made sure it was AWD for those times when mud or snow might be an issue. The last car I had would get stuck on a snowflake. Quote Link to comment
+GrateBear Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) '02 Jeep Wrangler. We have an interesting range of landscape, from high desert to mountain dirt roads. And some very active cachers who keep us well supplied with caches in terrain like that. Would take a lot of walking over rough ground to get to some of them.
