MARC: We did it once and we quit our jobs,
packed all our stuff up, got out of our houses,
and, you know, just lived in this for almost a year.
ELIANA: Lived in here, cooked in here, did everything in here...
geocached, in here.
MARC: Ready to go?
We like combing caching with scenic drives.
So here we are cruising down the road
in our 1978 Volkswagen Campmobile bus.
MARC: Yeah, the Cache Along a Route function is pretty easy to use.
Type in your basic route plan,
and then actually go on the map and drag and drop to modify your route.
Did it all on Geocaching.com
ELIANA: Every time I talk about this bus its.. it’s a she.
We don’t say the car we don’t say the vehicle – it's always Valentina.
MARC: We bought her with the purpose of taking her on a cross-country road trip
from Florida to Alaska.
and came out of it with 400 geocaches …
ELIANA: What I like about those 400 caches that we did
is that those were difficult caches.
MARC: Ok.. it’s only 59 feet – that’s pretty close
ELIANA: I’ll beat you to it.
MARC: We are at our first cache, 'Gitarzan.'
We’re outside of monkey jungle…
ELIANA: I think you read something about this cache being unique with the container?
MARC: Yeah.
It’s kind of pointing more back this way,
but again the accuracy is not perfect here.
ELIANA: Oh my god Marc, get your butt over here.
I found it, holy cow! [LAUGHS].
MARC: Alright.
ELIANA: Oh that is cool.
MARC: Now we know how it got its name.
You kind of need to be Tarzan to get yourself up there.
3/25, right?
ELIANA: That’s neat.
ELIANA: We don’t have air conditioner in here, so you have the windows down,
you take the fresh air, you see everything,
I highly recommend doing geocaching in a car or in an RV
instead of just flying to a location because you’re missing out on a lot.
MARC: Okay, we’ve got 65 feet.
MARC: Oh, here it is.
ELIANA: Oh my god [LAUGHS].
MARC: Oh the alligator is the cache and the log is... right here.
ELIANA: In the belly! How appropriate.
MARC: And there’s a pen in there. Wow, a lot of people were here.
ELIANA: We already saw 25 states with Valentina,
and we would like to do the other 25... well maybe not Hawaii.
but definitely we want to hit the east coast. And do all the caches along the way.
And in every state we always make sure the get at least one geocache.
