Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Anyone here ever go geocaching on horseback? We like to treasure hunt while we're out trail riding and have found some areas around Redmond and Duvall that are good for it. It takes a bit of searching in the lists to find caches in areas suitable for horses, bikes seem to be a better way to go! Quote Link to comment
+yumitori Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 A number of the caches in the vicinity of Hamilton, MT (59841) are good options for horseback caching. Several, by MrGrubstake, were placed on horseback. Quote Link to comment
Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hello! Just out of curiousity and pardon me if I'm being rude, are you wearing a kilt right now? I'm in the Seattle, WA area, but if we ever get to Montana with our horses I'll make it a point to check out Hamilton. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+yumitori Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hello! Just out of curiousity and pardon me if I'm being rude, are you wearing a kilt right now? Nope, I'm not caching at the moment... But you might be familiar with the one I often do wear - utilikilts. Quote Link to comment
+CachinCin Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I know that Chorse and her husband have done some horseback caching. They did live to the north of Seattle, but I heard through the grapevine that they recently moved away. You might look up some of Chorse's cache logs, or even email her -- very nice woman, and I'm sure she'd give you some good spots. I did remember that her #100 log was a special horse outing: 10 Peak Cin Quote Link to comment
+Right Wing Wacko Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 The Iron Horse Trail might be a good place to do some Horseback Caching. There are plenty of caches along that trail on both sides of the tunnel. I'm not quite sure how a horse would react to the tunnel itself. Quote Link to comment

Well, yumitori, that just brings a whole slew of questions to mind. But firstly, I live in the Seattle area and am now deeply disappointed to have never seen one of the kilts that made Seattle famous. Something to look forward to, another sort of treasure hunt. Thanks, C & R, for the leads. I'll check out both ideas. Quote Link to comment
+Og's outfit Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hello, There are quite a few horse friendly caches out here in southeast King county. Pretty much any of the caches hidden by Rentakid are horsey-cool Have fun, Og Quote Link to comment
+LindaLu Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Also, RentaKid has done quite a bit of caching while on horseback. So you might look through his 'find' logs to find ones that can be done that way. Quote Link to comment
Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Thanks for your help, Og and LindaLu. Rentakid has lots of good cache rides. I'll try some over summer vacation. Quote Link to comment
+DomHeknows Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I've been thinking of doing something like that here in the uk - would be a nice alternative to some of the longer hikes and would make a good special cache like a 200'er Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 We have horses, we've geocached. Never the two together. Quote Link to comment
Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yes, try it. It's very fun and the horses seem to enjoy the hunting too. Quote Link to comment
+GEM's Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Rentakid is the main horse cacher in our area check out....Buck's crossing Seee "Bucks crossing Update" post. Only one finder in over 2 years. Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yes, try it. It's very fun and the horses seem to enjoy the hunting too. Our horses seem to just enjoy eating and crapping. Quote Link to comment
+Bufford Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Our horses seem to just enjoy eating and crapping. I guess my question would have to be, who doesn't? Quote Link to comment
