Caches Along I-10?

[+95_Camaro_Couple]

Hi Everyone! We're going to be moving soon, and the trip home will take us along I-10 from El Paso, TX, down into Central Florida. So, I was hoping to hit some caches along the way, close to the interstate. I'm looking for caches through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Do you have any caches to recommend that are easy to access and won't add hours to our already-long trip? Or, do you know of an easy way to search for those caches?

 

Any and all help will be appreciated!

If you download a bunch of PQ's you could filter them along the route using the program GSAK (Geocache Swiss Army Knife)

If you are a premium member, use the mapping feature. What I do on trips is find a cache along the route I am taking and then just keep moving the map along the route, noting the caches. I then go back and pull up the caches and see what looks interesting. Little bit of manual work, but insures that the cache is not too far off the highway.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! We haven't become premium members yet because, frankly, there is only one members-only cache in our area. I know there are other benefits, so maybe it's time to rethink our decision.

 

Thanks again!

Here's a selection of relatively-quick, I-10-eastbound-friendly caches to hit during the Mississippi portion of your journey:

I'm relatively new to this game myself, but I happen to live just a few clicks N of I-10 near Tallahassee, FL. I can tell you about a few caches in the area:

 

Budd's Favorite Spot (mine!) would NOT be quick.

 

A Bear of a Crossing (mine!) would NOT be quick.

 

ALWAYS QNCY (mine!) would be very quick, only a half mile or so from an I-10 interchange. It's lame, though, hardly worth the bother.

 

ALWAYS TLH-W (mine!) is likewise lame, a bit farther off I-10. If you find ALWAYS QNCY first, this one would be really quick.

 

On a Wing and a Prayer, Lost in Waverly, and Pile O' Stuff are all nice finds and near I-10, but unfortunately not near an interchange. With some local map work, you could get off at the US 27 N interchange, go pick up these three (and a few others) and get back on at the US 319 interchange without having blown too much time or distance.

The Louisiana geocaching club, LAGeocaching.org , has a download available that they keep up to date with all caches near all the main interstates and highways in LA, including I-10. Here is a link to it. Hope it helps

Wellll ....

 

I really don't see much of a problem with this request, since the State of Mississippi is only 86 miles wide where I-10 crosses, so here goes:

 

Oh, by the way, this listing goes from east to west across the state

 

Pascagoula and Moss Point -- 39568

 

VanCleave and Ocean Springs -- 39564

 

Biloxi and D'Iberville -- 39530

 

Gulfport and Orange Grove -- 39501

 

Long Beach and Jones Mill -- 39560

 

Pass Christian and DeLisle -- 39571

 

Waveland and Bay St Louis -- 39520

 

Hope you enjoy your trip, and Happy New Year
