Mobile Geocache

[adampierson]

I know it isn't the first. But is anyone know any mobile geocaches? I know there WAS one in Fort Lawderdale and it involved using HAM equipment. But how about the network car?

They used to advertise on the local radio station, but I haven't heard anything from them for quite a while.

I've heard of them, I think there might be one in Oregon somewhere. Other than that I'm afraid you'll have to wait for some one else to get an answer.

There used to be moving caches. I had one but they are no longer allowed. Some were grandfathered in but mine somehow missed the cut. For the new folks it was a cache that you would find, move, then log the new coords. They were fun.

I missed this one and never had a good day to chase it down but maybe someone else will get lucky.

There are two of them still active in Michigan.

 

ABC's GCCD54

Oakland Transit IV GC4084

 

They are very enjoyable to do and I hope they stay in action for a long time.

There are two that I know of in this area. This one is supposed to stay in NJ and this one has been making its way around NJ and PA.

This one was moving while we were trying to find it. It was a good hunt. Edited January 8, 2004 by stu_and_sarah

Here's Another onerunning around.

Moving caches & Mobile Caches are two different things.

 

Most of the links are to Movign caches. they are either at certain coords or they are not. The mobile types move and the coords are updated as they go. This kind is probably a Ham specialty.

 

I think a mobile cache mounted on a car would still fit the requirments of caching and should be approvable on this site, even if the car should happen to park on NPS lands.

I missed that one too. Everytime it got placed around Lincoln, someone else beat me to it!

GCCCC7

GCBAA3

GCC859

This one went through PA & Ohio recently...

Drove south about an hour just to grab this one. Had to see one of these at least once.

 

I also made one of my own for our local GeoCache group (NWPA GeoCachers) and it's been moved 11 times now in the Erie area. Everyone seems to be enjoyng it.

I have a series of 10 moving virtuals:

The Photographer’s Cache

The Photographer’s Cache II

The Photographer’s Cache III

The Photographer’s Cache IV

The Photographer’s Cache V

The Photographer’s Cache VI

The Photographer’s Cache VII

The Photographer’s Cache VIII

The Photographer’s Cache IX

The Photographer’s Cache X

 

And one that's limited to the Chicago area:

The Photographer’s Cache: Chicago Style

 

Other than that, there's Moving Target in Chicago, that's a physical cache that moves within the park, Now You See It, Now You Don’t (similar).

 

We also had www.wherespo.com come through our recent event.

 

Mind you, all of these were approved before Geocaching.com invoked the “no moving caches” guideline.

I'm glad we found the Photographer's Cache IX! Thanks Markwell--those are fun!
