Ok something I have been tinkering with for a while now.

Basicly a scavenger hunt using off road geo cache gps coords. It would be like a long term(3 mo??) poker run. I think it would cover at least 1 spot in each state that our area covers(mid-Atlantic).

Everyone interested would put maybe 10- 20 bucks into a pot for winner purse or maybe some trophy. It would cover 3-4 mo window to allow people to travel to the spots and fit their scedule. Once at the geocache you would remove 1(and only one item ) from the cache as proof of finding. All items would be turned in at a deadline winner gets pot.

I have thought of adding some bonus coords to some of the harder to find caches that would lead someone to a new spot not on the original set of coords.

The purpose of this "game" would be basicly to get us out of the house and allow us to possibly see some new off road spots sit in roadside diners and eat good food and take in the sights. basicly an excuse to get our asses off the couch and on the road for a day.

It would take a decent level of interest to get into motion and once the participants addresses were known we could try to set it up so the longest trip would be an all day thing. no real weekend/overnight excursions

any idea/improvements would be welcome

let me know if this sounds like something fun to do or wtf what he thinking lol

Sounds like fun to me. The only safety issue would be "wheeling alone" to get to some of these spots.

2 Jeep teams. Each team plants a cache...more teams=more caches=more fun. Log yourself in at the cache and post it on a thread here.

I would love to get in on this once I get back from this deployment. I ordered a GPS while I have been deployed so hopefully the wife knows how to work it by now.. :)
