Topic: Geocaching - Post Your Favorite Finds/Pictures/Caches

[MaxPower]

While in Vegas this weekend we did some caching....found 102.  We used to be hard core one full day a weekend cachers but have mellowed out and now focus on off road caches and make good use of the new "favorites" feature on gc.com.  Basically, for every 10 caches you log the site gives you one point you can award to any cache you logged that you liked.  It's a simple rating system that helps weed out the "good" caches from the lamppost hides.  So we ran a pq for Vegas and filtered for ones with favorites.  Loaded those in the Garmin 62s (simply the best caching gps around IMHO) and off we went. 

There are a couple really creative cachers in Vegas.  This cache is a spoier but hands down one of the most creative I have found in a long time.

This is along a well maintained walking/biking trail next to a wash.



When you remove the lid you see a Skippy jar lid at the bottom but no way to remove the container.
 


But if you grab the base of the pole and lift

102?  Man, you are hardcore! 

My best streak is 41, and that was the Trona Series up in the Mojave Preserve.  I haven't used the Favorite feature as of yet, have to check that out for a filter for the future.

We are also into trackables, I love the bugs!

I've actually found 400 in 8 hours before.  That was half of the Route 66 series near Amboy.  The goal for the series is to find them all in a day if you can and many people have.  The joy isn't in the hunt but in the numbers.  I'm just not into that kind of caching so won't be doing that again.  There's the ET Highway series of 1500.  Some friends recently made the trip to find them....over four days there count was; 200, 800, 800 and 200.  Again not for me which is why I didn't go with them.

Used to do urban caching each weekend but the caches have become so similar with no or little thought put into them that I'd rather do off road caches or search for the favorites only.

On this trip we did a simple off road series on a powerline road.  The series is the "Grandpa series" on Grandpa Road.  Mostly small caches but it was a beautiful day and I was driving on dirt not pavement so that made it fun.

This looks like a fun event.  I'm thinking about going and thought you and the kid would like it.

Thanks Max, I think we will be checking this out.  Lots of time to prepare and plan for the time camping.  I appreciate the link and posting this up!  Glad to hear the bumper and winch are mounted!
