How Do You Get To The Cache Site?

April 18, 2005

We went out caching yesterday, and finally broke in our 4WD. So, in celebration of that fact, I thought it might be interesting to see what other folks are using to get from point A to point B.

For us, it's a 2000 Land Rover Discovery that we picked up a few months back for a great price. Let me tell you, she handles the muck and bumps of the wild country like a dream.

The Cache-Mobile!

So . . . What do you drive out there?

(If this isn't the right forum for this, let me know . . .)

Very nice, Cruiserdude. Did you wash it just for the picture? It looks immaculate . . .

BlueGerbil - how often do you need the snorkel? It's one of those things I've looked at, but I can't imagine I'm going to need it much (not while my Disco is my primary transport, at any rate . . .)

Usually one of our vintage autos (though we also have a 2003 Discovery too)...

1972 Land Rover Series III 109

1976 Land Rover Forward Control 101

1976 MG Midget

I just can't help singing "One of these things is not like the other . . . ."

Nice collection, though!

I don´t use it often, but better safe, than sorry! :unsure:

I'd be interested in seeing the difficulty rating on a cache that required one!

Here's my new cachemobile at the Pinson Mounds EarthCache. Honda VTX 1800 Retro. Gotta get some bags so I can quit bungie-cording the pack to the sissy bar.

{DEFENDER}

I'm jealous of the Defender. The Discovery II is a solid truck, but the defender is a tank. Is that a cache on the tire?

April 21, 2005

barely enough room for swag bags on mine...

I'm jealous of the Defender.

And I´m jealous of the engine in your Disco I think.

Is that a cache on the tire?

Yes, it was a drive in cache. :lol:

'00 Ford Ranger unless it's a long drive at high prices, then we take the Toyota Camry.

Awright, Dawg! Next event cache in West TN, you & me gotta get them big V-Twins together and cruise down the backroads!

Here is my Geomobile parked just a few feet from the cache. Many others hiked straight up the side of the hile to get this cache, but no..... not me!

These were the only pics I could find right away, and I'm too lazy to scan some. Anyhow the first is my '86 Jeep Wagoneer Limited. I bought it inexpensively as a beater vehicle, since I was putting my other vehicle into a lot of areas that I didn't think it could get out of while caching. The other vehicle is my '96 Ford Thunderbird, and my daily driver. Ironically, these being the only images I could find right away, this is the result of breaking both ball joints while making a turn on my way home from a short cachepedition. Note: A couple of weeks later I found the old stone wall locationless, and used that same wall in the pic for it. :lol:

I prefer the urban caches close to the house. But occasionally I will go after one on my ATV. I live in Tallahassee, Florida and ride in the Apalachicola National Forest. I use a Magellan 330 with a Ram-x mount on the bike. I use the GPS on the bike even when I'm not geocaching to keep from getting lost and to keep a track record of the ride.

I've got a bug that has the same theme as this log... thought U guys might like to check it out (If only the bug hadn't been stalled in Germany by Womoduck) I hope it moves along soon

What a great looking Land Crusher. I had a 1970 Station Wagon type. Loved it and drove it everyplace. Finally drove it to Alaska and gave it to my Son. About six 4WDs later, I got a 2000 Land Cruiser. Beautiful rig but just too nice to use like I did the 1970 model. Dick, W7WT

NIce Z.

I love the old Zs when there in great shape like that. There are way too many ones out there in sad shape, but every rare once in a while you see a great one like yours.

I've posted this pic before in other cachemobile threads, but heres mine, a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 v6:

At first glance, I thought you had lost control and hit a tree.
