+txoilgas Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) To take this further. How close is a chache that is not owned by you? My closest not owned is 417 meters and I did have a FTF at 6:30 AM Edited August 24, 2006 by txoilgas Quote Link to comment
+4BOWS Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Closest cache not owned by us is 0.6 miles away. Closest cache we haven't found - 1.7 miles (As yet, unsolved puzzle cache) If you don't count the puzzle cache and the cache that requires climbing gear (2.9 miles), then the next closest unfound cache is 6.9 miles away.

+GreyingJay Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Oh, about 180 meters. I used to have a cache of my own back in there (a little neighborhood park) but it got muggled so I archived it. Someone else has placed a cheekier micro in the same general area. There's another one, less than 400m in the other direction. Quote Link to comment
+oldsoldier Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 .6 miles. Havent found it yet. Maybe tonight Quote Link to comment
+Boot Group Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 ya, about .6 for me too...my son and I were FTF on it when it came out a while back wish some of the local cachers would hide a few Quote Link to comment
+edscott Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 1.4 miles... on my found list Quote Link to comment
+ibycus Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 1.39km - Placed in my honour Next 'closest' is 5.11km (as the crow flies), or 23.9km as the roads go. Quote Link to comment

+Taranis Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) Closest not owned: 90 feet. Yes, I was FTF. And the hider didnt know I lived here when he placed it. Kinda fun to catch people in the act. Edited August 25, 2006 by Taranis Quote Link to comment
+Evil Chicken Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Closest not owned: 2.1 miles Closest not found: 9.2 miles (paddle cache) Quote Link to comment
FlagFinder Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 well closest cache would be a mile acyually there r 3 a mile from my house that rnt mine since the people who own them live no where near them i somtimes maintain them for the cachers although caches near me tend to get stolen so i place new ones of my own i like to hide caches in spots where i can just watch cachers its kinda funny to see some of them Quote Link to comment
+ChicagoCanineCrew Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'm going by the distance that the site says the cache is from my house, so I don't know if it is 100% accurate or not.... There used to be one 0.6 miles from my house-- it was the first cache I ever found and I didn't really use my GPS to find it because I had a junky GPS at the time and it couldn't get the coordinates straight... However that cache has since been archived. Now, the closest one is 1 mile away. The next-closest is 2 miles away. Both were placed this July and I haven't gone looking for them yet. The closest cache I've found was 2.7 miles away, sadly I just found out it was apparently muggled and archived. Quote Link to comment
+pandaphil Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 About 350 feet from my front door. Quote Link to comment
+Moore9KSUcats Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Closest cache not owned by us.... 97 feet. Nope, I wasn't FTF... that was the two week period when notifications weren't going out properly. I found out it was there when I saw someone pull up. Quote Link to comment
btrodrigues Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) it's a mistery cache. published coordinates are 770m away but the real coordinates are 200m away. needless to say, cache was published around 8PM, I was there (drove from work) 20 minutes later, parked, talked to the guard who didn't let me in because it was closing minutes later. it closed at 9PM. FTFd it at 8 AM (I confess I didn't have much sleep that night dreaming about someone climbing the fence and stealing the FTF from me) Edited August 25, 2006 by btrodrigues Quote Link to comment
+2Wheel'in Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 183 feet, and I did not get the FTF...my wife (MooseMaMa) did at 11pm. Regards, Bill Quote Link to comment
BRTango Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's only 1.3 miles from where I live, but somehow I managed to make the hike to it about 5 miles long. Funny how I can always manage to turn a 1 terrain into a 4 terrain Quote Link to comment
+norsehawk Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 .52 miles. I know pretty much where it is, but when I'm in the mood to try and grab it on the way home from someplace I usually don't have my gps, and at the end of a hunting session, I haven't felt the urge to go after it before hitting home. One of these days tho... Quote Link to comment
ALPINE-X Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) The funny thing is, I've walked within 20 feet of this cache at least a 100 times The Viridian Queen by Parsa and Yrium [profile] N 33° 08.988 W 117° 01.449 UTM: 11S E 497747 N 3667894 N 0.1mi from your home coordinates. or convert to NAD27 at Jeeep.com Edited August 25, 2006 by ALPINE-X Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 1.2 miles to the nearset not hidden by me. 42 miles to the nearest unfound by me. Quote Link to comment
+AndreX Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The closest cache, not owned by me, is 0,67 km (0.7 miles). Quote Link to comment
+parker313 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Closest, not owned by me - W 1.6mi Closest, not found - SE 2.5mi (those are the posted coords for a puzzle cache, the actual cache is approx 5mi away) The other next closest not found is SW 2.8mi but is a 3/3, so my guess is that I shouldn't take the kids if I'm hunting this one by myself Quote Link to comment
Verga Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 To take this further. How close is a chache that is not owned by you? My closest not owned is 417 meters and I did have a FTF at 6:30 AM .4 miles. Since the day I started this game/sport/hobby I thought that would be a great spot, but couldn't figure out to do one there. well a 35mm film canister, for a micro did the trick, wish Ihad thought of it first.

+VeryLost Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 1.54 miles as the crow flies, though it's in a direction I rarely go. One of the local cachers has been hiding micros along my route to work - the very first cache I ever found was less than ten feet out of my way, and this week he planted several more directly along my mornign drive. Very distracting of him Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have one 0.2 of a mile from my house, and haven't looked for it yet Quote Link to comment
wandat24 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Closest to me is 10.2 miles (in Kansas) and 12.5 here in Oklahoma... amazing how I keep missing these two Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 0.9 miles south are the posted coordinates for a puzzle cache. We drive by there every single day, GCMRAQ Once we figured out that the "?" meant that the cache was NOT at the posted coordinates, it just taunted us. We figured we were either going to learn to solve puzzle caches or quit caching. Quote Link to comment
+cimawr Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 513 feet from my front door. Three houses up the block to the corner, cross the street, turn left, and there's the park it's in. :-) However, I'm new to caching, so I'm far from the FTF. There are 6 more less than a mile away (7 if you count the webcam cache at a local college). Quote Link to comment
+6gowild Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 0.3 of a mile to the closest. 4.1 miles to the closest we haven't done yet. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 0.6 miles to the nearest cache that I do not own. In a small piece of woods next to an apartment building. Everyone who has found it said it would never last. And it's still there a year later. The owner found one cache, and hid one cache a year ago, and has not been active since. I don't do kayak caches or cemetery caches, so the nearest findable one is 5.4 miles away. Quote Link to comment
+mailman72432 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 367 ft. right across the road. Quote Link to comment
+Team Perks Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 0.2 miles from me. It's a 1/1.5 and has been out since 7/18/06, and nope, I still haven't found it. Since I don't enjoy caching in my neighborhood, in all likelihood I never will find it. Quote Link to comment
