The Arizona Plan

With May 18th rapidly approaching, it is becoming apparent that Erin and I need to begin to plan exactly how we are going to go about our trip. I have been running through different scenarios through my head but until we actually get out there it is still tough to tell. A part of me wants to begin picking out some caches, but then again I still realize I have way too much other stuff to take care of first. The vague plan that we do have defined is to attempt to get at least one cache in every state that we drive in. I find this goal to be fairly easy as there are usually rest stop caches at virtually every rest stop. With that being said, I do not want us to be tied to just finding those as well. There are bound to be many more interesting caches beyond those rest stops and I want to make sure we do plenty of exploring into those as well. Also, as of right now, I believe we have five trackables in our possession to bring along with us on the trip. I know I have mentioned this before but we are planning on putting a trackable in every state as well. At first we were thinking about buying a bunch of them and placing them. However, after what happened to our first bug, (see past posts) we are somewhat apprehensive about the idea of purchasing any at this point. A lot can definitely change over the next few weeks and I recognize this. There is still a chance that this trip may never happen. I am prepared for this which is another reason why I do not want to plan too much into it. By doing so I will get myself probably way more excited than I need to be at the present moment.
