Great to have little change up in the stop start routine. Doing the series solo so really appreciate these "personal" caches along the way. Grabbed a TB as well as a stamped bug (my first one). I left the original stamp and just copied down the ref #. This was a first for me. Many thanks for a great cache along the mother road cargolax.

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. Thanks for all the great caches and good fun! [^]

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

Out on the power trail today. TFTC!

Beta 59 and I flew into Las Vegas on Tues. afternoon to start our adventure. We headed out to Barstow, Ca. as this would be our starting point to begin the Route 66 caching trail. Our goal we set for ourselves was to try to get all the trail done in one day. This was my first trip to the area. Certainly different than South Dakota. Warmer and drier. During this trip I was able to make some new records and add to some current ones. I appreciate all the work involved in making this trail. I enjoyed the whole day. Doing a trail like this with a good friend really makes it go so much better. We signed the logs as V B. TFTC. cargolax

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!

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 logged during our 66 run. Thanks to cargolax for adding to our fun today. 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 !

Something different! We'll take it! TFTC!

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

Found on a Geocaching adventure from the UK with j4pos & Quiddle. TFTC Snake Plissken

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!

Found in the company of Earthbound Chief, aka Dad on our 'Boys Own Adventure' after I spent the summer working in Michigan and before going home to Australia. A drive along the Route 66 was a must! TFTC

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


Thanks for the caching fun

Found while doing route 66 PT with micaparamedic and Earthbound Chief from Australia. TFTC

Found while visiting from Australia and driving Route 66 from Chicago. This was a good stop. I was a bit worried about rattle snakes - the ones in Australia are quiet - but I didn't see or hear any. A good stop and great to see a big container. 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 if I would have more time I would have felt like leaving my own mark
This is our second day after managing about 600+ caches yesterday.
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

Thnaks for another cache...

Second day of caching along Rt 66, We are having a blast!!. Britpitts and I are making all the finds and my wife, the supper muggle, is doing all the driving.

Last Friday we flew to Los Angeles. We mainly came for the ET and Route-66 series and to collect points for our statistics. We pick upped our rental car and drove to Barstow. That evening we did one cache nearby the hotel.

On Saturday we drove from out hotel in Barstow to our hotel in Tonopah and did some caches on the way.

On Sunday, a bit confused about the right time, we explored the beginning of the E.T. series and found the first 60 caches.

We went to bed early and the next day on Monday we started just after midnight for our 24 hour run. It was hard work especially in the dark but we did over 1200 caches that Monday.

After a good night rest we finished the next day on Tuesday the series. Afterwards we did the caches on the route back to Tonopah.

Before leaving for Barstow again we visited the oldest cache of Nevada. When we past it in the evening it was too dark to go for it. On route we also did some caches.

On Thursday from Barstow we did Route-66, beginning at sunrise until deep in the evening we managed to do the whole series plus the extra caches at the beginning and at the end of the trail.

The Friday was our last whole caching day. We started with an 2000 cache in the mountains near Barstow. After that we did the "Yer-Mo" Run!. After that we tried - The Phonetic Alphabet trail - but the road was too bumpy for our rented car so we headed for the - Planes Trains & Automobiles - . We did enough cars and planes and a lot of trains for the bonus cache.

Saturday on the way to LAX we did one cache on the route. The weather was terrible with sand storms and heavy rain but we managed to arrive safely to the airport and flew home.

This cache was found at 17:55.

All CO thanks for the caches. We enjoyed them very much!

Found by Peoria Bill Oct 8-10th, 2011 during completion of the Route 66 Series. Thanks for the cache. I was a little tired at the end, but enjoyed finding all the caches. Thanks for placing and maintaining them. I made a couple of repairs and will mention that for the specific caches. TNLNSL Peoria Bill

We loved all the "rock art graffiti" along this portion of Route 66. To save our arthritic fingers, we ended up stamping our initials SBMG on many of the logs. However, since this was a larger container, we are pretty sure we signed this log with our full team name. Thanks for this nice cache!

Thanks for this 8 year old cache! We found it today while completing the Route 66 run! SL!

Hey there is a cache on the other side of the road and hey it is bigger than all the others around here. TFTC.
