sc_dragonflies

When my wife wanted to join the fun, I made SC_Dragonfly plural!

There maybe several ways to accomplish what I am asking, but surely with the sage knowledge of seasoned cachers here, we can find the ideal way. Let's say I am going to a new town and want to check caches while I am there. I usually log on to Geocaching.com, put in the name of the town and ask for caches within 10 miles. I go down the list and choose caches that sound interesting. Here is my question. Once I have a list of caches I would like to visit, what is the best way to "chain" them into the shortest route. I have an Android phone with the Groundspeak app. Right now I use the "Caches Nearest me" feature, however that sometimes causes a lot of backtracking. (I also have a Magellan Triton 400) Tell me how you go about this task. Thanks

Can someone explain why I get such different results when I do a search by Zip code (small town, only one Zip) vs when I search using location City, State? (To see what I mean, try searching Zip code 28782 5 mile radius, then try searching Tryon, NC 5 mile radius)

I wanted to "sign" the logs with a small shape punch I have of a dragonfly. The name Dragonfly was taken, so I added the SC for my resident state thus SC_Dragonfly
