There is nothing better to me then a nice drive through the country to just unwind, rock out to your favorite tunes and just enjoy what the road has to show you. This series is more just a quick PnG with a few twists, to enjoy the country and boost your find scores up just a bit.
Along the way I encourage you to check out the random caches and power trails that others have hidden. (also another reason why I made this series). This route will take you through several small towns with a lot of history, take time to enjoy some of the shops and parks that you may see, or just to take note of when you really want to go on a weekend adventure.
Things you will need to bring with you:
*Click Stick
*Geo-tool (some of these pesky nanos may be a little hard to retrieve )
*Geosense (some of these caches even though granted permission by land owner are on private property)
*Stealth( some areas are very muggle heavy, or traffic heavy, be sure to practice safety first)
*Wadeing boots.
*Gloves
*Favorite Music, (enjoy the tunes and the views, maybe not so much some of the smells ;) as you will discover).
*Camera (some of these places you will want to take a picture or to of).
Most importantly have fun. This series isn't meant to be anything other than a nice country drive.
I have made a Country Wild List for you to access easily to complete the whole series.
