+norsehawk Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+thedeadpirate Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
Mr Walker Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+Cache'n'Carey Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+Bear Paughs Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 637 within 50 miles Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
ALPINE-X Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 4300 within 50 miles of Escondido CA, time to get caching Edited August 24, 2006 by ALPINE-X Quote Link to comment
+NorthWes Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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...

+Wacka Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+fauxSteve Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 There are currently 4057 caches within 50 miles of Seattle's University District. Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 358, of which 9 are on other islands (Molokai & Lanai)! Some of those mainland numbers are scary. Quote Link to comment
+wiseye Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 2045, of course we run into alot of water also, mainly to the west. Quote Link to comment
+GEO.JOE Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
b1rdbrain Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment

+KG1960 Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment

+Zzyzx Road Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+Nerves Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment

+Jackie and Bob Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment

+KKTH3 Posted August 24, 2006 Share 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.

+steve_c Posted August 25, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
