+smilinglady13 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I came across these helpful bookmarks of I-75 caches. Has anyone thought of pulling some lists/bookmarks together for recommended caches along I-15, I-8, or the 395? I just came down the 395 and got several along there. Did not take me too long to find several to go look at. Sure help me make my 100 quicker. Took forever to get down the 395 but I found things I never knew was there or if I knew had no idea of the beauty or the history. Was a grand trip Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I had a great trip down the 395 from Reno a little over a month ago. I found some cool caches, some interesting Virtuals, a very emotional Virtual at Manzanar, and saw the Mono Lake Earthcache. I still had 432 "unfound" caches in my database when I got home . . . I was hoping to take a camping trip up that way again . . . but with gas prices where they are . . . I don't know . . . Quote Link to comment

vagabond Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay, how weird is this! I found the old XXXXXXXXXX cache today, bone dry in perfect shape. Now, I challenge you to find the archived page for this cache. You might have trouble finding it. The cache was abandoned by it's owner after Flagman found it in March of 2004. Why, who knows? This one? xxxxxxxxx I think it was archived along with the other XXXXXXX caches because the Rangers didn't want them there AT ALL - not even the name of the park was left on the web site when they were archived (notice that the coordinates have been zeroed out as well). Hmmm, well, I guess we'll see what happens... D! Well, as long as we don't mention the The Park With No Name by name (oops, too late!) or provide the coordinates, I don't see how there could be a problem.. (assuming they haven't "bookmarked" it ) The first cache was further out on the ridge under some cactus, it really wasn't on the trail but as I remember there wasnt any vegetation really to bust through all you had to do was wander around the bushes and go to the edge of ridge and look under the cactus. The rangers supposedly bagged it after about 10 finds or so, Then it was rehidden a few days later where I guess it still is today. If it is the one I'm thinking about The first to find was on 6-6-01 I was the 2nd finder on 6-7-01 and Tuna was the 14th then when it was moved. Quote Link to comment

Parsa Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 If people in Torrey Pines hadn't been so dumb about how they placed their caches, nobody would have known they were there but us. Many were off trail and in sensitive habitat. Mr uu saved one and put it in an environmentally safe area (Chat noir). P Quote Link to comment

Nick GrnZoom A while back someone asked if you can generate a pocket query for caches along, say a stretch of highway. The answer was "no", and still is. However, if you have GSAK, I recently discovered a feature called "Arc/Poly" under "Set Filters", which is under the "Search" drop down menu, that does just this. You would first have to generate your pocket queries that cover the interested area and consolidate all the waypoints into one GSAK file (I hear it can manage over 10K waypoints) then use the feature to generate your list. I haven't played much with the feature, but it looks interesting. Yep, for some of you that noticed, I finally forked down $20 and paid my subscription to GSAK; it's worth it! Quote Link to comment

I haven't played much with the feature, but it looks interesting. Yep, for some of you that noticed, I finally forked down $20 and paid my subscription to GSAK; it's worth it! See 2nd Method in my thread for detailed instructions on doing this using a route generated in Mapsource. RM Edit: I decided to repeat the Arc Filter instructions here for clarity: 1. Draw your route in Mapsource (this is easy if you let Mapsource autoroute). 2. Save the Mapsource file in the old .mps format using Save As (this is necessary because GSAK can't read the newer file format): 3. Download multiple Pocket Queries spaced along the route. 4. Put them all into one folder and open them all into GSAK at once using these settings (change the path/folder name to the folder where you put your PQs): 5. Open up the GSAK filter dialog and go to the Arc/Poly tab. Click on Load from File and select the .mps file that you saved in step 2 (This will input a bunch of waypoints in to the Arc/Poly dialog box, representing your route - the waypoints are already loaded in the dialog in the image below): 6. Now just select the distance from your route that you want the filter to use and click GO. The filter will eliminate any caches that are more than 1 mile from your route (at least it will approximate that. You can now export the remaining caches to any of you applications that you want.) Here is TG's 395 route with a 1 mile distance selected: Note: This also works with Magellan Mapsend routes. Edited August 31, 2005 by Rocket Man Quote Link to comment

Nick GrnZoom I have two virts on Route 66. One is in Victorville (Route 66 - The California Route 66 Museum) and one is in the Cajon Pass area (Route 66 - The Blue Cut). A couple guys from AAA recently travelled 66 in order to help update the AAA Route 66 map. They documented their travels online, and placed several real and virtual caches along the way. Other folks have also made specific caches dedicated to 66. There are of course a lot of random caches along the road. dhsundance and I once traveled 66 from Santa Monica to somewhere around San Dimas (I went on a little more to Claremont to stay with a friend). We found everything within a couple blocks of 66 along the route. It was a lot of fun. I did my own caching trip from Barstow to Victorville a couple months ago. Parsa Quote Link to comment

That's what I was trying to get at by finding something similar to the I-75 caches that we could pull together. Rather than repeating "research" that's been conducted over and over again it would be nice to view these caches with some additional narrative from some of the locals who have done them.....as more of use do the route we can add more caches or comments......just a thought.

Parsa The Arc Filter function in GSAK is actually accomplished by GPSBabel (GSAK uses GPSBabel under the hood for all of its file conversions, etc.). With a little extra effort, you can do the filtering directly using GPSBabel and there is a Mac Version which I assume has the Arc Filtering capability.

Abandon all hope and restock your "Soylent Green" food packets! Here's my theory, so many micro caches have been placed near the coastline that southern California is going to crack-open along that Imperial Valley fault line and slip silently into the sea. The result is that all of the micro-caches will have to be rerated as 1/5s 'cause you'll need a submarine to score them.

+kawikaturn Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 All this terrible news from the path of Katrina. I wonder how many NEW ORLEANS cache container victims there have been? When I see the flooding news photos, I am looking for floating tupperware and ammo boxes! One piece of good news, Fats Domino has been found. Good luck to the area. Maybe a few CITO events after the water gets drained out! Quote Link to comment

Maybe a few CITO events after the water gets drained out! What floats when New Orleans is flooded are lots of caskets that pop up from their graves. There's been several photos of floating caskets. Think about it, in our final act we are placed in a water-tight container and hidden away in a verdant, park-like setting. Sound familiar? Now and then a few relatives or friends come to the park and search for our hidey-hole. The only thing missing is a web page and a set of coordinates. Now you know why you enjoy Geocaching so much.

Maybe a few CITO events after the water gets drained out! I may be leaving for New Orleans today.... I have put a lot of the caches in my GPSr, but I don't think I will have time for caching as I am going out as part of the relief effort. I will let y'all know what I find out if I can find my way to a computer with power. Otherwise, it may be two weeks till I talk to ya. Quote Link to comment
