I don’t know if this is the easiest to do, but this is how I can do it.
 
1.)     using gsak, export your waypoints as a csv file. To do this in
gsak go to…File, Export, Microsoft Streets and Trips CSV file.
2.)     Save it to My Documents, or somewhere where you will remember it
at.
3.)     In Microsoft Streets and Trips (2005 is what I am using) select
Data, Import Data Wizard, and choose the csv file you just created
4.)     The wizard will then ask you whether or not you want to use tab,
semi colon, or comma (I choose tab) and then choose matching records to
latitude and longitude, then click finish
5.)     You will then see a whole lot of pushpins pop up on the map
6.)     Go ahead and create a route… i.e. Sullivan to Pevely with the
route, route planner tool
7.)     Calculate get directions and then do a find nearby places, by
selecting Tools, nearby places, select along entire route and choose how
many miles your diameter is, and click search.
8.)     Tahdah… Now you have a selection of caches along your route from
Sullivan to Pevely.

 OK.. I'll yell. :-) I tried the above with S&T 2004 and it works as advertised with the exception of some slight problem at step 7.

 I make trips to LA, Portland, OR and places between. I do enough queries to catch caches along my route, but that is way too much to deal with. What I would like to do is somehow make a new GPX file out of the results obtained above. That is, 5 miles either side of my planned route from here to there.

 Seems to me someone recently told how to do this, but I've mislaid that bit of information.
