chris_b600 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Anyone know of a good place to search for caches on good trails? I love to find new trails in my Jeep and it would be fun to 4 wheel and geocach at the same time. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Where r u from? Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Because now I am Lost. Quote Link to comment
+ZoomZoom Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yeah, you go there, turn right then turn left, then go up and down the trail and take another right... Maybe it would help to say which area you plan on doing or are from. "Every cache has it's rightful place." Quote Link to comment
opie744 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 We jeep too, we would love to hear of good 2 tracks and mud holes. We're in michigan. Quote Link to comment
ricnic Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hey! More Jeepers! I belong to a club in Kalamazoo. We've talked about a "Jeep-o-cache" run a couple of times. Nov. 1st, there is one that has been set up by some guys on michiganjeepers.com Basically, we are meeting at a starting point, coordinates are given and we have to navigate from one waypoint to another and so on. Kind of a multi stage run. The run is going to end with burgers, beer and bonfire. Check out michiganjeepers.com and go to the trailride section. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I have only found 1 trail in New mexico that my Suburban couldn't do, but that's because the road was closed by the rangers since it had washed out. Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+MidnighToker Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 That wouild be great to find, but here in NJ I have better odds playing the lottery. -Midnight Quote Link to comment
+jeeplife Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I live in California now. While on the Rubicon Trail (near Lake Tahoe) I came across a Case Logic 48 CD case that was filled with CD's. Rather than just take it I hid it about 5 feet off the trail and took coordinates. Gives me a reson to go back. As for caches along that trail there are a couple that are a little hike away. While I lived in Oregon I found 3 caches that were all on back roads in the Tillamook State Forest: Something Special - by The Tungsten Jihad! The Burn - by Ward Cunningham Balance Beams - by oregone Plus that area has some great wheeling like 'Fire Break 5' trail. I enjoy mixing the two sports. The whole reson I got started in geocaching was I had been using a GPS for tracking routes and then another fourwheeler mentioned it. Quote Link to comment

And yes, I took a rented Mercury Grand Marquis down some dirt roads this weekend while on vacation. -- stream of did I lock the front door? consciousness Quote Link to comment

Not only can and will they hold you liable for any damage they claim is caused by doing so, the super expensive insurance they sell you to cover such things also will not pay because you were violating the rental agreement There is nothing quite like a $5K repair bill showing up on the Credit Card when you were not expecting it Quote Link to comment
opie744 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 These are the cache's we've done in Michigan while 4x4ing. Preacher's Hill- St. Helen , Take it & break it- Mt morris, The Indian said to the devil,"I'm stumped"- Ossinkee, Trip back in time- Fredrick, There is one in Silver lake sand dunes-Mears, off wheeling park, can't remember the name. Silver lk is awesome to do, cache' ok. If you get to Indiana, go to Attica, BADLANDS- That place rocks!!!!! There is a cache' in the area but we were having so much fun wheeling, we didn't even want to stop and that was a first. Quote Link to comment

Yes, I did take a rental car caching and I did go a few hundred feet down a dirt (actually crushed oyster shell) drive, but it was because my van broke a belt while on vacation and I wasn't going to miss my carefully planned geocaching just because I had to rent a car. -- stream of did I lock the front door? consciousness Quote Link to comment

chris_b600 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 you guys are right. A location would help wouldn't it. Sorry about that everyone, I'm new to this. I'm in Colorado. A few from Michigan huh? Although I love to wheel I doubt I'll be making that trip, but thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment
+Dagg Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Come on up to Vancouver island! We have LOTS of caches that require a 4x4 Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Colorado is a great place to go off-road. I speak from experience. Now I just need to go up there and find caches, as geocaching wasn't invented yet when I lived there. Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
