+norsehawk Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 From your homepoint, how many caches does the Groundspeak website find within 50 miles of your house? From my homepoint, I have 2081 caches within 50 miles, I wonder how many more it would be if there wasn't so much water west, south and east of me. Tampa Bay area, relatively warm year round, so no need to stop caching because of snowfall is what I bet helps the number Quote
+thedeadpirate Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 290, at first I thought I had just answered this. But realized this was a different take on a similar subject. Quote
Mr Walker Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 97 around the Tumby Bay area. About a third of these are mine and there are 3 or 4 I have not yet found. A lot of water around the Tumby Bay area also, but otherwise a continent of difference. Quote
+Cache'n'Carey Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Oh, this is sick - within a 50 mile radius I have 5,802. Thanks for making me look, I think. I'll never have an excuse to need to cache out of state. Edited to add that I have no land to the west of me. Edited August 24, 2006 by Cache'n'Carey Quote
+Airmapper Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 745, including finds and hides. 623, without finds and hides. 122 of the caches are my finds or hides. Edit to add, most of those are concentrated in urban areas, my nearest unfound cache is a 25+/- mile drive. Edited August 24, 2006 by Airmapper Quote
ALPINE-X Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 4300 within 50 miles of Escondido CA, time to get caching Edited August 24, 2006 by ALPINE-X Quote
+NorthWes Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Tampa Bay area, relatively warm year round, so no need to stop caching because of snowfall is what I bet helps the number Do you seriously think we Alaskans quit caching because of snow? We put away the bear & bug spray, trade a headnet for a balaclava, and keep on caching! Oh - and we may strap on skis, snowshoes, a dog team (see the Ladybug Kids' profile!) or a snowmobile... but we keep on caching. And with no hurricane weather to hamper us, we don't much worry about the evacuation-order season either! Lots of new caches get put out in the backcountry in winter because travel is actually easier when the ground's frozen hard & covered with the white stuff. The dark time bothers some, but we've got awesome night caches... and we can always hop Alaska Airlines & go visit Vegas! Oh - and there's just 500 or so within 50 miles of home... Quote
+Wacka Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 6179 And that is with the Pacific being about 40-45 miles west of me and SF bay taking uo a good chunk also.. Quote
+fauxSteve Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 There are currently 4057 caches within 50 miles of Seattle's University District. Quote
+sillygirl & jrr Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 358, of which 9 are on other islands (Molokai & Lanai)! Some of those mainland numbers are scary. Quote
+wiseye Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 2045, of course we run into alot of water also, mainly to the west. Quote
+GEO.JOE Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I have 200 within 50 miles. I only have 51 more until I have them all. I don't look forward to traveling over 50 miles to find a cache though GEO.JOE Quote
+briansnat Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 2,354 within 50 miles of my house in northern NJ. Tampa Bay area, relatively warm year round, so no need to stop caching because of snowfall is what I bet helps the number Snowfall and cold temps don't stop us here. We go out in every season and every kind of weather, though things did slow down the week it was over 100. Quote
b1rdbrain Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 6,096 in 50 miles from my house. Only Wacka Beats me so far and by only 83 caches. so i guess it's good to live in California if you're a Geocacher. Edited August 24, 2006 by b1rdbrain Quote
+Eagles61 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 2005 caches within 50 miles. 1379 if you filter out the finds and hides. Quote
+KG1960 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Looks like 378 within 50 miles. Since I have only about 40 finds so far, there's no lack of opportunity here. Quote
BRTango Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I have 2287 within 50 miles... so plenty of opportunities here in the metro DC area Quote
+DavidMac Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Including Found: 246 Unfound: Two months ago, it was 0, now, with new hides that I haven't been to yet, it's up to 31. Edited August 24, 2006 by DavidMac Quote
+Zzyzx Road Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 ...ours is about 1300, including finds and disabled...Caching in California is nice IF you are in a larger city area. Our area of the San Joaquin is all dairies, groves and fields, so it is a nice country drive when caching. (My favorite saying while driving past a dairy is "You Gotta' Love the Smell of Agriculture!") Quote
+Nerves Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 2,506 and there's no way I'll get to them all with more and more popping up every day. I think the Tupperware may be breeding out in the woods. Quote
+wvcoalcat Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Last time I saw this type of thread was in January, 2004. Then there were 127 in 50 mi. Now 461. Quote
+Jackie and Bob Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 1615 where I live now in Florida. A big chunk of area to the east is swallowed up by the Atlantic Ocean. I have found over 1000 of those. For you people that live in Southern California, you should move to the Inland Empire. From where I used to live in Riverside there are 6,307. I need to go back for a cache run. Quote
+Juicepig Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 1 remaining that I haven't found - this weekend, i swear! Edited August 24, 2006 by Juicepig Quote
+Huntcliff Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 2045 from my home near Victoria B.C. Lots of water in the radius Quote
+StarBrand Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 90 40 planted by others 50 planted by me sigh Edited August 24, 2006 by StarBrand Quote
CoyoteRed Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 178 total with 20 waiting for us to find. Quote
+Roland_oso Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 4262 within 50 miles of Garland, Tx (Northeast of Dallas) Quote
+Thrak Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 1356 within 50 miles 861 within 50 miles if you filter out finds Quote
+Team Neos Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 There are 5300 caches within 50 miles of my home zip code. Only 5297 within 50 miles of my home, though. Quote
+KKTH3 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Within 50 miles? Only 67 90 40 planted by others 50 planted by me sigh We get to join the sub-100 club with only 80 caches within 50 miles of our house. 20 of those were placed by us and only 14 remain unfound by us. Half of the unfound caches are terrain 3.5 or high, which makes caching in a wheelchair a bit difficult. The others are either fairly new or just havent got around to them yet. One of the closest unfound caches is a 1/1 virtual in an abandoned uranium mine - only 35 miles away (about 50 by car) but all by itself so we havent justified the gas to spend all afternoon going out for one virtual.

Pto Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 2480 (and growing by the day)from me, in St. Paul MN Quote
+Team Dromomania Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 980 with 275 left to find. So what am I doing here when I can be caching... Bye bye. Quote
+Lovin'Life Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) 6,759 within 50 miles of Anaheim, CA (92804) Patricia Edited to add: Just looked over the numbers. Looks like Anaheim is the highest right now! WOW!!! That is really a LOT of caches. And the pacific ocean is 16 miles from me, so that concentrates them even more! Edited August 25, 2006 by Lovin'Life Quote
+JT & PJ Cole Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 368. I have found 204, 164 remain. The nearest is 32 miles away. Quote
+steve_c Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 There are 449 from my house in Norway. Trouble is, a whole bunch of them are the other side of the major fjord running up to Oslo, which means a long drive or an expensive ferry ride. Almost half are across a national border into Sweden, across another fjord, so I have to remember my passport when hunting those. The last few I haven't bagged within a 20 or 30 mile radiues are mostly on islands, lighthouses, etc. The crinkly coastline can be a nuisance sometimes! Quote
+Ambrosia Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) 700 caches in 50 miles. And I've only done around 200 of them. Goodness. I better get out there and cache some more. edit: Wow, makes me realize that when I started 4 1/2 years ago, there were less than 10 in that same radius. Edited August 25, 2006 by Ambrosia Quote
