The closest camping to Route 66 is West Tyson County Park, which is only a block away. There is a nice group site there as well as a couple of shelters. There are also a couple of cabins available to rent. Our Troop just camped there last month and bike hiked around Route 66. There are several caches in Route 66, but a couple lead you out of the park. A connector trail leads you under the Highway to connect to a Eureka Park, where there is a cache also. There are also a couple of caches in Lone Elk and West Tyson. Lone Elk is accessible from West Tyson via the Chubb Trail if you'd rather hike.

Wouldn't be this unit would it???? I would like to assist anyway I can with BSA and Geocaching. After all, I have been a registered scout leader for over 10 years now. I need to know if there is camping in Route 66 or Lone Elk?? I see that Babler has 3 caches and Cuivre River has 2. I would like to point this unit below to an area that has 5 or 6 caches where they could camp and hunt caches without hunting. Let me know your suggestions.. Mike The Brawny Bear Mike, Our Troop has decided to do a campout in March 2004 and use the weekend geocaching. I originally was thinking of a day type outing, possibly Busch Wildlife, but they want to do a camping wekend. A few of our adult leaders seemed eager to purchase a GPS unit to add to their personal gadget collections, so I don't think that geting access to GPS units will be an issue. Any suggestions to a park that allows camping and contains caches for the boys to look for? Is there any possibility that someone from SLAGA would be willing to put on a presentation for the boys explaining geocaching and to the adult leaders on what to look for in a GPS? Our Troop meets on Monday evenings at Castilio Elementary School which is located near Dingledine and Towers road.

Thanks for the help guys. My son's scout leader wants me to introduce the young men in the troop to geocaching as I have done for my son. They were going out to either Babler or Rockwoods to work on some acheivements and he wanted me to look up a few caches in the area.

The next big park close to there is Babler. glenn At 04:37 AM 12/19/2003, Edwin Biesemeyer wrote: >Does anyone know if there are any caches in or real close to the Rockwoods >reservation area?
