+nameless301 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I vote that the geocaching Mecca of all places atleast in Southern California in not the whole US is in Mission Trails Regional Park. Check this picture out of all the caches in there. Where do you think Mecca is? Quote Link to comment
+unicyclist Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 My guess would be where the very first geocache was placed. Yes I know its still not there, but its what started the sport. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Mecca? That's insane. My Mecca would look more like this. Someday I'll make my pilgrimage. Edited August 23, 2006 by briansnat Quote Link to comment

+Happy Humphrey Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Where do you think Mecca is? You're kidding - it's right here in the Isle of Man! Edited August 23, 2006 by Happy Humphrey Quote Link to comment
+nameless301 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Where do you think Mecca is? You're kidding - it's right here in the Isle of Man! Now that is a Mecca. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Mecca? That's insane. My Mecca would look more like this. Someday I'll make my pilgrimage. I've cached there - GREAT area. Take all day to walk around to some of those. Quote Link to comment
+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Snoqualmie Pass Washington- quality not quantity! A cache hidden by Jeremy, another by Fen Dweller, and an Ape cache all within spitting distance of each other on the Iron Horse Trail. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I vote that the geocaching Mecca of all places atleast in Southern California in not the whole US is in Mission Trails Regional Park. Check this picture out of all the caches in there. Where do you think Mecca is? If that's Mecca, I won't be converting to Islam any time soon. I've cached through properties similar to that, and at the end of the day, all the hides blur together into one big cache-dense powertrailed mess. I still had fun, but it's not something I would like to do every weekend. Better to have a bit of space in between, so the hiker can smell the roses along the trail. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Estacada, Oregon, where the first cache was placed, and now the site of the Tribute Plaque. Quote Link to comment
+fishingfools Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 It is at Geowoodstock, make a pilgrimage to Raleigh Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for the compliment; Brian and Starbrand. And yes it would take all day and maybe some more to find all of them that are up there. And there is a new one up there also. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Wouldn't Mecca be Mecca no metter if you geocache or not? Quote Link to comment
BRTango Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 So who wants to volunteer to place the first cache in the actual 'Mecca'? Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Determining the Mecca of Geocaching will be highly personal and subjective! From Wikipedia.org: The term 'Mecca' has come into common usage metaphorically to mean any all-important site for any particular group of people, or a main attraction in a certain place or group of people that has a large turnout. I'd have to go with the later half of that definition, and choose an idea instead of a place. For me the Mecca of Geocaching would have to be my community of geocachers. If going to Mecca means going to a place, that would have to be any of the events where geocachers gather. Ed Quote Link to comment

+Wander Lost Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 My personal geocaching Mecca is Whidbey Island in Washington. It's a great place for a combination of caches along the water and in the woods. We always seem to go there to go caching when we have out of town visitors. Quote Link to comment

+Taranis Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Where do you think Mecca is? You're kidding - it's right here in the Isle of Man! *snip* Being mostly Manx myself, I'd love to visit sometime! Quote Link to comment

nonaeroterraqueous Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 So who wants to volunteer to place the first cache in the actual 'Mecca'? Hmmm...always wondered what was in that big black box. XXX-large cache with an extremely high muggle rating. Stealth required, to say the least. Quote Link to comment
