Description
A cache to commemorate all of our Cachemobiles and what we put them through.
Hi again from Bluedog - the caring and considerate cacher.
Well after bringing you "Casualty Ward" and "Panelbeater", I felt it was time to bring you "Cachemobile".
This cache is dedicated to the modes of transport that we cherish through the week but then treat in a somewhat different manner while out caching. Once cache fever hits, we tend to push our machinery somewhat harder than normal and even beyond design parameters.
So if you have a photo of you beloved cachemobile that makes you weep tears of joy and pride, well this is the place to share it with the rest of us. Also if your pride is magnifique then dont feel afraid to add any relevent statistics, details or other related information.
Long live the cachemobiles.
Bluedog.

This is one of my cache mobiles. Easy to get around the burbs, dont have to worry about tram tracks, bike paths, gutters.
Not sure how many miles we have done together. But my other treadly and I would have clocked up many scores of thousands of kilometres

This is my geomobile. My electric pushbike! Gps is on the handlebars and the keys go into the battery at the back. It averages about 20km on one charge. Its a beauty! Motor is on the front wheel and it also has its very own TB on it so if you see me out be sure to discover me!

Our CacheMobile on a recent caching trip, camped next to the Weld River in NE Tassie. Mazda BT-50 with our trusty Trayon camper set up for the night. Not another person in sight, just the way we like to camp - just the wildlife to amuse us. Added a snorkel and long range tank since that photo getting it ready for a long trip next year hopefully. Get around 11Ltr/100km with the camper and all the gear on board.

A week ago I upgrade my cache mobile to a more environmentally sensitive vehicle. I picked up this 2008 Prius (with i-tech) at a govt vehicle auction. I even got it under the reserve price. I fits the five of us comfortably and has all the extra like reversing camera, sat nav built in, bluetooth integrated. Plus the cool Hibrid technology like a thermos flask that the engine fluid is pump into to keep it hot while the engine is turns off as you coast down hills or park for a a few days.

Well the Pulsar is my normal work vehicle but on the weekends it turns into my super caching mobile. I will take it just about anywhere and am yet to get it bogged, although I have been close on any number of occasions
Might have to trade it in for a 4x4 to get some of the off road caches soon though but it will be sorely missed as in 13 years it has only needed one clutch cable and I think that is pretty good going. Touch wood 
Cheers

As Geocaching newbies, we were FTFers after found a cache at B-Limey GCC87F on 22 January 2003 (for first time as Geocachers and FTFers too). We had a fond of memory using this 4x4 geomobile for our geocaching hunt. This was one of our favourites and it was very handy to sleep at the back anywhere and any time when we were hunting / travelling. Best of thing that happened is to sleep overnight at the back after parked at the beach and rolled up the canvas to watch the sea in the morning with a $million view.

Last year we said goodbye to our trusty Cachemobile, Bill the Mazda 121. This tiny bubble car took us to some amazing places, including a few in Chowilla Game Reserve, where most people take 4WDs.
Our new cachemobile is a Subaru Impreza and it's a much comfier ride. This nice closeup is of part of the car after travelling to and from the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga event cache, after which the cachemobile got the most thorough cleaning of its life (it still smells of locust).

this is GEO-BOY (the second) a Mitsubushi Challenger.
so far we have not challenged it that much, and have not been too far off road, but we have visited many caches together.
this image is from our DNF attempt on MT Hotham Survey marker... infact it was mor like a Could Not Find rather than a did not find, the fog was so thick we just bareley found the cafe' for a reviving hot chocolate.
(GEO-BOY the first was a 60 series land cruiser that finaly met its match,and had to be retired.)

Went in search of the above cache and found the way blocked by a huge tree. Finally made it back to solid ground and this is what the Geomobile/Cachemobilr looked like.

My trusty hz cachemobile come work ute! It wears a WB statesman front end, HZ statesman interior and rear bar. Drivetrain consists of a loaded 308, Turbo 400 & Salsbury lsd. Ive lowered her 2" all round and she rolls on 8" ROH Jellybeans wrapped in Yokohama 352's (245's rear, 235's front). Sounds great too with pacemaker extractors into 2 lukey mufflers and twin 2.5" system finishing just under the rear bar

This is my 'second' geo mobile, reserved for the less taxing caching journeys. This is in Queensland near a Bundy Cache on 29/4/09. Unfortunately when I was at 'Bombs Away' on 11/5/2009, which truly did tax this poor beastie, I did not grab a photo. Albida

Well, a Mercedes R320 is not the first car people might choose as a GeoMobile, but so far (touchwood) nothing that has been thrown at it as slowed it down. Of course, we are somewhat circumspect with where we'll take it, especially considering it's not 4WD - but dang, it's comfortable!!!

My Rav4 gets me where I need it to, after that it's pedal power or good sturdy boots from there.

Our 2007 KIA Magentis XE. Parked safely at home after another day out. It has been places most people would not dare to take their private vehicles. Loves dirt mud and the odd rock or two.

There are a lot of places a Camry wont go so for those spots it is the old Fronty that comes out. This photo is while parked at the top of a sandhill which has stopped many before while going to "Sandy View" down the South-East.
It is even its own trackable - http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1731782

Well I love my little Corolla Wagon. The don't make them anymore, but as a compromise between fuel economy and versatility I think it is a great geocaching car. I can take 4 adults and all their luggage for an invasion weekend and if I fold down the seats I can put my mountain bike in that back without taking off the wheel.
This photo is taken on Cavehill overlooking Bombala. The route we took up wasn't entirely friendly and I had to do some interesting traversing to keep my sump intact. We found a more 2WD friendly path out...
