Beep! Beep! Amboy, California, United States

The power trail is a fun challenge but the individual caches, like this one, are informative and maintain a little oasis of sanity in a crazy day of caching. My own funny story is that it was right in this sequence of caches that I discovered that I was missing some caches from my GPS'r. I was by myself so I got out and walked the stretch of road looking for the tell tale geo-trails. By my reckoning I got a cache for about every 10th of a mile before I picked up the power trail caches again. Bottom line is that I am faily certain I found this cache but can't be positive. None-the-less, I'm going to take the smiley, with the owners permission, of course. Thanks for the cache and the history Terra Girl.

This was day three of a three-day cache run with Cache O'Plenty. Today we started in Amboy, moving east and then south along Cadiz Rd, finishing up along the 62 and the 177. Many of today's caches were in the CCX4 series. Today, we were able to top off our gas tank in Amboy. We two had no trouble locating these caches while just using a single vehicle to move from cache to cache. Steve, even though he'd already found them, let me grab a few of the caches along route 66 that I had missed two years ago. This was one of those. Stamped log. Thanks, Terra Girl, for placing this cache.

”Out caching with Whimppeys and finishing up the RT 66 series we started a year or so ago. Had a blast doing this power trail and enjoyed all the history of this area.”

We had a great time finishing the Route 66 Trail with Barb N Gene. It was Mr. Whimppey's Birthday weekend.

Looks like a cool place to explore! TFTC!

Holiday power cache run! We came here exactly a year ago to start the series, today we finished! Thanks to all that placed and maintain this series. All quick grabs even when we got punchy near the end!

We enjoyed the first half of this run on our way to Yuma so decided to return on our trip to Portland and spend a few days adding to our finds. We will be back to finish next winter. Thanks!!

I had wanted to finish this Series for sometime. After a discussion with some fellow cachers we formed a group of three ; Cache O' Plenty, Larry The Pool Guy, and Pars18. Cache O' Plenty put together a plan that would complete the Route 66 Series for both Larry the pool guy and Pars18, but he would still have to return another day in the future to finish it. We ended up getting all the numbered caches plus some extra ones that were added or had originally been there . This was one of the extra caches we loggedduring our 66 run. Thanks to Terra Girl for adding to our fun tady.We really had a great time thanks to Larry (Larry The Pool Guy) and Steve (Cache O' Plenty) for joining our team.

Pars18, Larry the pool guy and I headed out to the Route 66 series today for a full day of power trail caching. Since pars18 and Larry the pool guy had already completed the first half, we started at #381 and headed east. That allowed both of them to complete the series. I, on the other hand, will have to return to complete the first half. We also augmented our run to include all of the Non-Route 66 caches along the way. Made for quite a long day and a new one-day record for me. As we proceeded, we repaired any that needed some TLC and replaced some broken ones. Now I need to resupply my stash of containers!

Had a great day and perfect weather. Thanks to Team Stevecat and the other COs for all their work in setting up this run. Got a great history lesson along the way.

Also was amused to note that the number of trains we saw greatly outnumberd the vehicles on the road. Trans = 7, vehicles = 3 for the first three hours.

This was just one of the many caches found by us today. TFTC-SL

My day started out at 4:00 am when I first got in the pool truck to drive up to the meeting spot at McDonalds near the Lake Silverwood Exit. Sitting in their cars ready to go was Pars 18 and CacheOPlenty. At 6:30 am our group starting finding hides and stamping logs this pattern continued till 5:30 pm. The desert was kind to our group today with little wind and cool temperatures. Thanks to all that placed caches for me to find. I now have a new one day record ! Thanks Terra Girl for your hide on my exusting day of geocaching.

We found this along with the other Route 66 series. Thanks for the cache. SL.

Alaska's Team KLM is having fun and getting our Kicks and Kaches on Route 66! We enjoyed the warm weather, scenery, and history along the roadway! SL, TFTC, [red]Li1gray[/red]

On holidays from Australia we had planned on doing a spot of caching whilst in and around Barstow and Las Vegas. One of our goals was to complete the Route 66 series. Early start, late finish was in order and after a long 15+ hours, we completed the series and some extra's along the way. Wow what an experience that was! FurfacesLL No 2 sprained her ankle on the Yermo series, and FurfacesLL No 1 was down with a cold, So we were very pleased with ourselves. A days' rest then off to tackle the ET Highway! Thanks to the cache owners for all the work in maintaining these caches.
TFTC too!

Getting our caching kicks on Route 66 with micaparamedic, Ozibgs and EB Contax


Thanks for the caching fun

Found with micaparamedic and Earthbound Chief from Australia. TFTC

Thanks for all the hard work and time it took to place all these caches. Ultrahide and I went on a 10 day epic camping adventure through NM, AZ, CA, NV, UT and back to CO. We ended up with 1,744 caches including 32 virtuals, 6 WIGs and 5 events after 3,080 miles. We had a great time finding these caches. We signed the log as Team NOCO and a TB number. I wish I had the time to log a personal log on each cache like normal but there are way too many to remember the details now. Thanks for the cache. Happy Trails.

Found with emzernask while getting our kicks on. Stamped the log as Crazy Canucks.

Yes this reminds us it use to be a bit more than a road in its bygone era.
After many months waiting we are finally here, we where fortunately enough to meet the cache owners at an event, but even more fortunate to have mild weather.

We completed the series plus a few side caches in about two days and loved it

Hello from Canberra, Australia

US12. The little breaks in the power tail have added interest and variety. It looks like it has been a long time since this place was active. Thanks.
