+GeoCrickets Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) As you know there will be a event in Lodi called the CVC/RCGDS Breaking down the wall.

+Green Achers Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 2006 GBES Geocaching & Navigational Rally The date is set for June 16-17 (first rally starts Friday Night) and will be in the greater Carson City, Nv. This is a event that requires a 4x4 with a driver and navigator and passengers are allowed (the winner of the day course last year had 4 people). Want-a-bee 4x4's are not allowed but don't let that stop you. The courses are safe and the pace is very reasonable. In fact, going too fast will count against you at double the cost of going too slow. Because of this, the challenge is more on the navigational skills more than the vehicle ability. For those of you that don't have a 4x4 but are interested in the GBES Rally, you have two options. Team up with someone that has a 4x4 and needs a navigator (this really is a need). Better yet, become a volunteer and watch the action from the course edge. Either way, the GBES Gathering will be posted soon and you can log your intent then or send an email to SKWERL and ask how you can help. Mark your calenders. Quote Link to comment

Sounds like a lot of fun Bill...Do dune buggies count as a 4x4?? I have seen a lot of dune buggies go where 4x4's can't...Just wondering if this is a case that a 4x4 can go that a dune buggy can't?

+The Foote Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 OK so I have ben lagging a bit. I knew where I wanted to put TAG but haven't had the time. SO I placed it in a much easier place. I have permission from the land owner so do not worry about going into private property. In fact they might even be watching you! I willpost coordinates later tonight. Quote Link to comment

I'd ask the race directors that one. ...Joani's California Poppy geocoin...--Marky - K6FTF Cool coin and do I see a 1 by 3?? Yep, Marky has joined the Amateurs.

+Green Achers Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 "GBES Admin" <gbesevents@gmail.com> SKWERL (aka Bryan Wright) or Monty Wolf (the one and only DJ) should be able to answer your question. Brian, BTW knows what it's like to get a lift... we picked him and his motorcycle out of a cattle grate last year. I should have left another 'Oh, Grate' cache there but it would have been a 'vacation cache'. Quote Link to comment

It is a long way away and I'm not sure that we can go, but it has always been hyped as the "best" in the geocaching community.

+Wacka Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 This isn't really geocaching related other that I will find a few virtuals while I am there, but I need some help with driving directions to Sacramento. I have to be at a job site in Downtown Sacramento at 10 AM Monday. I live in Dublin. Google maps is telling me to take 680 to 80. I know the Cordelia junction is a mess. How is it taking 580 to 205 and then to 5 or 99? Is the traffic really bad in Stockton in the morning? TIA. Quote Link to comment

You should be going in the reverse commute direction in the morning so I am thinking that traffic shouldn't be terrible in Stockton...You may hit a small pocket when the cross town freeway merges, but other than that, Stockton shouldn't be terrible.

To answer your question, Take 580 to 205 to 5 North. Then depending on which side of Sac-of-tomateos you're ending at (East or West), use either 99 or 5 respectfully. To get to 99, I'd transfer on the 'Cross Town Freeway' at Stockton which is just after 'Charter Way'. Remember that you'll hit traffic in Sac but I could tell you how long to add for that. Oh, make sure you down load a Pocket Query because there's a ton of caches up there. And if you pass by the infamous - CVC Tag T.P. - just keep (snicker) going!! (See photo above).

+Green Achers Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 BTW, The Green Achers Glowing Geocoin (and only CVC coin to date I believe) has arrived! They look great and I'm hoping to see a few turn up around the area in the near future. Perhaps I'll give an indication when that may have happened and you can all start Easter Hunting a little early this year. Quote Link to comment

I spoke with my wife who can only vouch for 99 south of 4 and 5 north of 4 but she said that 5 north from about 4 north for about 4 or 5 miles sucks but not too bad. The cross town is a mess both ways usually in the morning but you should be fine regardless either way youa re going as there is jsut a small amount of Stockton traffic at that point for you.

+Wacka Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Where I'm going first is on K St, two blocks from the Capitol, so I'll be taking 5. I have other places to go after that, all in Sacramento,but am using my Mapsource for that. Right now I'm just planning on getting the virtuals at lunch. if I get done early, I may get some more. I'm planning on taking my GPSr. I'll be using it to help me navigate to the various places I have to go to. Thanks. Edited March 18, 2006 by Wacka Quote Link to comment
