+art begotti Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 (hoping someone hasnt already done a thread like this) anyway, im just curious... how do most of you get around to do your caches? i usually bike to most places, sometimes a good 15 mile round trip. the local caches are keeping me plenty busy... no need to drive far away yet. so how bout the rest of the world of geocaching?

+Skadog Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Where do you live that local caches keep you busy? I've walked fifteen miles for a cache or two once. I like biking too, but nothing beats my Tracker. -Skadog Quote Link to comment
+PandyBat Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I have a 5 year old with me on most cache hunts so it's driving only for me. Quote Link to comment
+Night_Hawk Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I drive most of the time but I will admit I tend to like the cache's that require a bit of hiking. Quote Link to comment
+flask Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 we travel by tracker, subaru, snowshoe, bike, foot, kayak. whatever will get us there quickest and witht he least fuss. we consider it a bonus if we do not have to leave the vehicle to get the cache. alternately, if we have to leave the vehicle, we prefer something with lots of opportunities for injury. i prefer not to walk any more than i have to. ever. according to the orthopedist, the reason i keep injuring my knees is that my patellar tendons don't track well. something about goofy knee construction. crashco says i ought to demand a recall fro the manufacturer. anyway, that means the preferred mode of transport for anything over a quarter mile round trip is the bike. if bikes are not expressly prohibited on the trail, i ride it. i don't care if it's up a mountain. i have a mountain bike.

+art begotti Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 Where do you live that local caches keep you busy? uh... okay, i guess i should mention this... the "local" caches are more in town from where i live... so a minimum of three miles (each way) just to get into town... and i dont go caching that often. usually just once a week. and since it's becoming more popular in my town, newer caches are coming up all the time. i'm trying to start a couple out in my part of the burbs.

+Mustard Devil Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 My trusty 2001 Mirage transports me on caching trips. I am constantly amazed at the terrain that car gets into and most times out of Quote Link to comment

+Torry Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Most often with a 28' box truck on my "lunch break" Which is why I don't have much time for puzzles and mysteries. Also tough to do some urban micros due to parking. Although I can sometimes park it where I shouldn't since it looks like I'm making a delivery. Tough to do some of the caches deep in the woods, and I did rack up a $400 tow bill once to get the truck out of a farmer's field. I got VERY lucky that the company bought my excuse. (..and paid the bill) Quote Link to comment

I think I'll drive. It's just a bit too far for the kids to ride their bikes... Quote Link to comment
+art begotti Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.... :D :lol: i guess so long as you have a comfy bike seat, that wouldnt be too bad... okay, maybe it would be. Quote Link to comment
+hamgran Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I use my handy-dandy GMC Sierra Pickup - but it's very gratifying to see the posts from Tracker and Vitara owners, as I used to help make these vehicles (before they were replaced with the Equinox this year). Quote Link to comment
+Right Wing Wacko Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Shortly after starting in this hobby I went out and got a low end mountain bike assuming it would be a great way to get to most of the caches. As it turns out I rairly used it. After a few weeks I had exhausted the supply of caches along the local bike trails even without the mountain bike. Walking just seems easier most of the time.
