+beejay&esskay Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Just curious... When looking at the "nearby cache" search, how many pages do you have to go through before you get to one with NO finds by you? For me (523 total finds) page 27, starting 44.6 miles away. Quote
CacheNCarryMA Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 9 136 total finds I'm currently working on owning all the caches on the first page. Quote
+briansnat Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 For me it's page 3, 4.3 miles away. Its someone else's cache, but I was there when it was placed, so it will stay there unless it bothers me enough to put on my ignore list. My first findable one is also on page 3, 5.4 miles away. Not sure why I've never hunted it other than this might be the first time I've ever noticed it. Its been there since April so I guess I should do a search for nearby caches a bit more often. Quote
+beejay&esskay Posted September 24, 2005 Author Posted September 24, 2005 Wait a minute...this is a different meaningless statistic than the standard "first unfound cache". I'm asking about the first page of caches where you have found NONE of the 20 listed. Quote
+cache_test_dummies Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 21 is the first page with no checkmarks. 19.4 miles. Quote
+Anonymous' Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 48 is the first with no checkmarks or 16.6 miles. Quote
+cheech gang Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 You are correct, this is meaningless, but no more meaningless than most of our statistics. Anyway, it is page 22, 40 miles. Quote
+TeamAO Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 8. We have 99 finds, but they're pretty scattered, and we really aren't trying to fill up pages. We just try to find, fun and long hike caches that we can go on. Quote
+BVCY Swim Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) Page 1 has several I have not found either because they require too much stealth, are not a decent hike that gets the 'ol heart pumpin', or I just don't want to do for various reasons. The first one being 1.1 miles away. The first one I WANT to do is on page 2, 4.8 miles sway. Edited September 24, 2005 by BVCY Swim Quote
tossedsalad Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 1, first cache. I placed it so I can't find it. The next is the third on the page, Carrol Creek Crypto. I have never been able to solve the puzzle. Quote
+CBRIX Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 48, 38.5 miles is my first page with no checks on it Quote
+Kerstin76 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 18, 86 km from home with no finds Quote
+Corp Of Discovery Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 89, 46.4 miles. There were a couple of close calls on earlier pages tho..... Quote
+Lil Devil Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 181, 74.5 miles. Seriously. I was kinda surprised to find a page at less than 130 miles. I live in one large metro area, and work in another, 110 miles away. And I drive between the two once every week or two. There are 3 possible routes I can take, and I've pretty much cleared a 1 mile swath along each path. But apparently there is a band at 74.5 to 74.7 miles that I haven't found a cache yet. I just mapped them and I'm gonna change that next week Quote
+wimseyguy Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page one! Really! I always search with "& f=1" after my zip (it's bookmarked) so I don't see the ones I have found or own. But to answer your question the way it was meant (I think) it's still page one. There's a puzzle I have no idea how to solve only .4 miles away from work which is the zip I usually search from. After that is page four with another puzzle, and some that just got put out in the past ten days. Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 49, which is full of caches that are 56 miles from my home, is the first page where I've found none of the 20 caches listed on the page. Quote
+WeightMan Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) Page 40 12.5 through 12.7 miles Edit: I mistyped and said 50 when it is really 40 Edited September 25, 2005 by WeightMan Quote
+Miragee Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 With 739 finds, I have to go to Page 80. That is 35.5 miles away in this very cache-rich area where there are more than 4,799 caches within 100 miles of my house. Quote
+edscott Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 First clean page is 53 at 39.1 miles. 54 is also clean, then the checks start again for awhile... Quote
+the hermit crabs Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 21 is the first page with no checkmarks. 19.4 miles. Almost exactly the same for us, CTD: page 21, 19.5 miles. Quote
+NoLemon Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 24, 75.9 miles. Then the next 5 pages have finds. Page 30 is the next page with no finds. Quote
+welch Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Wait a minute...this is a different meaningless statistic than the standard "first unfound cache". I'm asking about the first page of caches where you have found NONE of the 20 listed. oh, glad you clearified that. I checked and its page 27, which is the 71.8 to 72.8 range. This must be a lucky distance because there are some finds on pages 28-40, then 41 and 42 are empty and more pages with finds beyond that again. (then I got tired of scrolling lol) Quote
+IV_Warrior Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Ok, I was bored enough to play along. My first completely unfound page is page 56...which is 66.1 to 66.4 miles away. It has a nice split of caches in both PA and Maryland...... Quote
+res2100 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Page 86 is the first page that I have no finds on. 118km away. Next page is 121, but since that is the last page it only contains 8 caches in the list...that's it within 100miles. Quote
+Trail Buzzards Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 124 pages... 62 miles.... no wonder we spend so much on gas! Quote
+OzGuff Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Page 98. (They were 60+ miles away) Quote
+Team Neos Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Page 13 at 5.4 miles has no check, but after that its page 23 until there is another page without at least one check--only 10 miles away. Quote
+Ambrosia Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Page 23, 36 miles. Another meaningless fact that I discovered while looking at this: In the first 9 pages, 6 of them have 2-3 of my hides on them, and 1 page has 1 of my hides. 7 out of the first 9. 11 miles, 18 hides. That also doesn't include a couple hides under a pseudonym, and a couple hides by my children and husband. Quote
+briansnat Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Oops I misread the original question. First page with no finds by me is page 22 (14.5 miles away). I do see one of my hidden caches on that page though. I have to go to page 26 (16.3 miles away) to find a page without a find or hide. Quote
bogleman Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Page #1. Several caches less than 2 miles from home. I just jump around and go after whatever I want. I do have a goal to clear all that are around my home but everytime I get close a bunch of new ones pop up. Quote
+Boot Group Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Page 1, 307 finds. I've "heard" it's 30 feet up a tree. Until I find someone to climb the tree, it will not be found by me. Quote
+wimseyguy Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Ahh, yeah, it seems I too misread the OP question. The standard 100 mile zip search returns 1873 caches over 93 pages. I have at least one check mark on every single page. I live in a dense active caching area, and there are three others between 60-95 miles away that we often daytrip to. Quote
+GEO.JOE Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 First clean page is 19 at 74.3 miles with 262 found Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Since I cache all over North Jersey, and with a buddy who lives near NYC, first page with no checks is page 57 33.3 miles. A mixture of New York, Pennsylvania and central Jersey. Quote
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Page 39, 24.1 miles away. I hoped for better than that. Edited to add: Apparently my next page like that is a more respectable page 61, 39.3 miles away. Edited September 26, 2005 by Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Quote
the butterfly effect Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 page 1 seven miles away Quote
