so you've found every cache within how many miles?

[+Bad_CRC]

what is the distance to the cache closest to your home coordinates that you have not yet found? (when you search by home coords)

 

I'm guessing it's very far for some.

 

 

it's only 1.8 miles for me, but that's because there is no where to park for that one, and I don't want to trespass.

[+TheManInStripes]

0.7 Miles

[+NorthWes]

.6 miles away (1 kilometer) thanks to a very kind local cacher-friend (scobey) who knew I needed something close by the house to get me outdoors in the sinking darkness of this miserable wet fall Anchorage is experiencing!!! (we've 'lost' something like 40 minutes of daylight this past week ).

His lovely daughter Geminigirl left another new cache just .7 miles away... gotta love it!

 

Now - must have snow...

 

It makes everything so much brighter than the rain...

[+Harriet the Spy]

4.7 miles I won't be able to attempt this cache until next summer when the days are long enough for this slow hiker to get to the top! I live in a valley with a lot of mountains surrounding me with caches that require more than what I am able to do! In fact French Peak pops up at 13.2 miles from me, making me clear a fifteen mile radius impossible, but that also means that living this close to the Cascades makes it easier for me to enjoy the mountains and hiking trails easier!

[+Travelinmatt76]

Mine is 20.3 miles, and the farthest one that I've found is 34.2

[Clan Riffster]

Not counting all the Lay Mass micros in my ignore list? 7.2 miles.

[+briansnat]

3.5 miles.

[avroair]

2.0 miles - I DNFed it

 

Otherwise: 6.0 miles

[+Keruso]

there is a similar topic in the northeast forum that asks you for the 20 closest caches that we havent found

[+leather-man]

8.72 miles as the crow flys about 25 miles of driving around some long and narrow lakes.

[+StarBrand]

38 miles - but there are only 105 (60 of them mine) within 50 miles of me.

[+sbell111]

I've found every cache within 1.1 miles of my home.

 

I'm very proud.

Edited October 5, 2006 by sbell111

[+Team Perks]

0.2 miles from my home. It's a 1/1 micro, and I have no intention of ever finding it.

[+sbell111]

Yeah, me too. That's it. That's the ticket.

[+agilefox]

15.6 Miles, and then I hit some aquacaches...

[+IGJoe]

3.4 miles and I DNF'd it just yesterday

2.5 for me. I say I don't care, but it is more of I just haven't gotten around to clearing more of my radius. I am more interested in new caches and FTFs. Just me.

 

One local cacher that was proud of his cleared radius had one placed 24 feet from his door.

I placed one .2 miles from his house, because I can. Of course what goes around comes around. For prevention I just placed a Mystery cache with the dummy coords 100 feet from my door.

3.7 mi. I don't have much interest in how big my cleared radius is though. It's nice to have caches nearby when I get the itch and don't have the time to get to one that's far away.

Why not walk?

[+Team Perks]

You know that will do nothing to prevent someone from hiding a traditional cache in your front yard...

[+9Key]

Since I moved this last weekend its now .6 mile. At the old house is was 7 miles.

[+emurock]

Mine is 20.3 miles, and the farthest one that I've found is 34.2

Mine caching radius is 0.3 mile and the farthest one that I've found is 716 miles from mine home coor's.

[+Isonzo Karst]

9.2 miles (this is ignoring the cache I've been ignoring since I started caching).. when I started there were only 7 caches within ~ 15 miles of my house, now there are 280.

[+biosearch]

2.7 miles, evil micro cache.... Have looked.... It is my understanding that it is so small that (fill in the blank)...

[+Cedar Grove Seekers]

About 9 klicks (5.6 miles). About 75 caches within this radius we've found.

[+Bad_CRC]

Why not walk?

 

probably what I will end up doing. I still have to find a route in without going through yards and such.

[+Night Stalker]

About .2 miles. I spend more time on the road working so the majority of my finds are all over the west. The last month I have been helping RK move so haven't had time to cache at home. Hopefully he will be moved into his new house the next time I get home so I can work on the local caches. Of course I will have to set up my new GPS first so who knows?

[+Snoogans]

1.2 miles from home.

 

There's one I haven't bothered to try for less than 300 yards from where I work. No special reason. I just haven't gotten a round tuit.

[+Kealia]

4.9 miles. A few are uninteresting micros that I've not had the desire to go after. If I find myself in the area, I may grab them, but they may stay unfound.

[+tomfuller & Quill]

12 miles, DNF'd it then brought Quill out. She couldn't find it either. Farthest cache from home this year ? 2505 miles. Found caches in 8 states and the District of Columbia this year.

[Mr.Yuck]

Not counting all the Lay Mass micros in my ignore list? 7.2 miles.

 

The Lay Mass? That must be for those who worship at the church of the smiley

[+Aquacache]

Was 18.9 miles until a couple new ones popped up the other day. I have found the 140 that are closer than that.

[+brodiebunch]

0.2 miles.

 

My zip code (98105) is littered with a multitude of unknown, multis and puzzle caches that ultimately lead to a waypoint that is a micro cache. We like to trade items (whether something of perceived value or McToys) so we bypass most of them. We are having to travel farther and farther out to find regular sized traditional caches, but that is our choice.

[+Airmapper]

Around 16mi as the crow flys, but it's a lot farther by the roads.

 

On average, I'd say I need to drive about 25 miles to get a new find.

[+disenchanted]

26.54 miles is the first unfound cache on my list. I plan to get that one this weekend, if time permits.

[+cimawr]

when I started there were only 7 caches within ~ 15 miles of my house, now there are 280.

 

The statement above made me curious, so I went to geocaching.com, plugged in the coordinates of my house, and ran a 15-mile search. The result was 438 caches, many of which I'll never bother with.

[+Wile E. Dragonfly]

One mile - but that one the owner is creepy and has a webcam watching the site so that it doesn't get stollen... (Snoogans, you remember which cache I'm talking about?). The really creepy part, I used to work in that building for years... Basically, I have no intention of ever finding that cache.

 

Three miles for a DNF, but I've talked to folks who have found it and it's not there... was one of those "how the heck has it not been muggled for this long?" micros in a tree in a park.

 

Beyond that, 9.5 miles - part of a series of micros.

 

We tend to like regular sized caches, so will grab the micros only if we happen to be passing by the area for some other reason. We like state parks alot, a place where we can go and park and hike around and find caches at the same time. Our urban area is realtivly small, but we do go to San Antonio a bit to visit family and so take advantage of caching along the way there or while there. Now that cooler weather is finally here, and hubby is feeling a bit better, we hope to get out to more parks and maybe even camp. That said, it's a drive to the state parks even... cachers in urban areas definitly have a greater opportunity!

[+hairball45]

22.2 miles with the exception of two new ones that popped up Monday and I havn't had time to go after. The resident advisor told me not to clean 'em out that way, but now there is a huge donut with me in the center of the hole.

[+hairball45]

OOOPS ! Duplicate post, sorry. Crappy network from employer that should do a much better job.

Edited October 11, 2006 by hairball45

[+disenchanted]

OK, now it is 30.4 miles to the nearest unfound cache. Good thing fuelis coming down!

[+Jhwk]

37.6 miles - you folks need to get to work.

 

 

 

Or move out in the sticks with me.

[+DocDiTTo]

1.5 miles, but that cache is disabled, so my next closest unfound one is a 2 miles away. Since that one's a lousy nano placed in an uninteresting spot, it will most likely stay my closest unfound cache for quite a while.

[+parker313]

2.8 miles as the crow flies, a little further on the roads. I want to get it, but it doesn't look very stroller friendly so I need to wait til I a. decrypt the page info and b. get a chance to go out without the kids.

 

Within 15 miles of my house, there are 128 caches.

Edited October 14, 2006 by parker313

[+Former Hawkeye]

32 miles.

Only have long hikes (2+ miles) for those 2 and the distance will jump to 40 miles-with those 3 needing a boat-which I don't own.

[57chevy]

27.9 miles I guess I need to get some more folks into caching around here. =o) Edited October 15, 2006 by 57chevy

[+VirginiaGator]

The closest is 0.4 miles away. Of course, that translates to about a 6 mile drive. The ones in the area I haven't found yet are pretty much the ones I have issues with. This one in particular is BEES! The largest bee I've ever seen in my life.

[+hikergps]

18.3 miles. I don't have to deal with microspew in my area. I'll be going to get this one soon and extend that mileage out a little. Looks like I'll be the only hit in almost a year. I guess that happens with caches that take a little walking effort.

[+knoffer]

0.9 miles. I have been getting all the further away caches out of the way. Figuring with winter coming I can hit the closer ones and hopefully still have daylight. Besides I know my area pretty well. I like to get further away and explore places I've never been.

Edited October 16, 2006 by knoffer

[+James Lobb]

1.42 and also 520 meters. and i have not found one of them. (elusive multi)

[+cave-rat]

.5 miles for me, some of my cacher friends alway go for the closest from home, while I like virtuals, earthcaches, and getting all the counties of Michigan. Oh yeah also I search on the gps for the biggest clumps of caches...20 caches in one mile range.

[+Super_Nate]

I live in a very cache dense area so on average I will maintain about 2 miles from my home coords...once I finally found a cache that was plaguing me when I pushed the "filter out finds" button! Then my nearest cache to my home coords was 7.2 miles...WA-HOO! That lasted for less than a week when another new cache popped up 1.2 miles from my home that was rated 4 on terrain and I didn't get that one for over a month. Once I finally found that one, 5 more had come up since and it has gotten hectic ever since then.

 

RIGHT NOW....the nearest cache to my home coords is a traditional 4.3 miles away which I DNF'd this last week! The second closest is a 4-stage multi 4.4 miles away which I found the first three stages of before I had to give up because of a time issue. The third closest is a traditional 6.9 miles away which has been disabled for over 7 months......so that leaves the closest cache to my home coords that I have nont attempted yet and is active and doing great! That is a traditional 7.1 miles away. It is not at the top of the list so I can't claim it as the closest.
