Looking to meet up and complete a Power Trail

[+campfire]

Hi, My name is AL (campfire) and I live in New York. I want to come out West and hit a Geocaching Power Trail in Nevada or California but I have nobody to do it with. It would be difficult and take a long time to complete one by myself so I am looking for a group who is already going who would like to take on another person or if anyone interested in meeting up in the future we can arrange a way to do it. I would probably fly into Las Vegas and rent a car. If there are any groups who are going I would split the costs with them. Please contact me if anyone is interested. Thanks!

Hey Campfire,

 

I saw your post and that there have been no responses so far. You might want to check into local area Facebook pages for more

'connection' with who's doing what. Facebook is rapidly taking over for the forums for keeping up with local goings on... Some of the newer cachers I've spoken with don't even know what the forums are...?

 

Secondly, summer is not a good time to do the power trails in Nevada, Arizona, California, Utah! It can easily climb to well over 100 degrees and locals know to plan ahead of time, but they are also willing to revise plans as current upcoming weather is forecasted. It's very important to keep in touch with current forecasts!!!

 

Personally, we did the original ET Hwy series in the middle July. Heat topped out at 113 degrees. And even though the majority of the trail is grab n go (travel), it's still really taxing. Fortunately, we had a cooler full of just ice, bandanas to soak in the ice water to wrap around our necks, and excellent A/C in our car. All that said, it's way better to do the desert power trails in the winter with much much cooler temps and little chance of rain or snow.
