This is only a third of the power trail that has been placed on a section of historic route 66
GC2J17A




What are ya'lls thoughts on power trails? I have done a few, but nothing like this.

That is pretty awesome. It might take a couple of days to do just part of that stretch.

It looks like it's a shade over 800 caches all together! Teamhayes, you would be surprised how fast a well prepared group of cachers can run through a string of caches like that...The best average time I have ever gotten up to is about 1.5 per cache. so by my calculations you could do 800 caches in 20 hrs if you kept up that pace and went non-stop. I have done a power trail that was 140 caches. It was a blast! I could only imagine how much fun a non-stop 24 hour cache-a-thon would be Very Happy

Having thought about these power trails, I think a Moped/Scooter is the answer, Better yet, 1 Moped/Scooter per person and all people with the same stamp.

3 people, only stop at every third cache
You do not have to get off the thing to get the cache

I'd ride on the back of a blind three-legged mule to get 800 caches in a day! Laughing

A mule is to tall.. Very Happy. Perhaps you can be slung under body. Would be low to ground, provide shade. Beware of frisky mule.
