milescouchman Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows about any geocaches up on Baffin Island. I'm doing a backpacking trip up there this summer so it would be cool if there was one. Quote
QuigleyJones Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 theres a few in Iqaluit http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...amp;lon=-68.499 you'll have to do some searching to see if theres any others. Quote
Mr.Yuck Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows about any geocaches up on Baffin Island. I'm doing a backpacking trip up there this summer so it would be cool if there was one. Geocaching.com Google maps wants you to zoom in further than looking at all of Baffin Island, or it won't return any caches. I can tell you though, that there are only 19 caches in the whole of Nunavut, so I'd just look at them and see where they are. I'd post a link to the 19 caches in Nunavut (8 of which have never been found), but it doesn't seem to work for me!! Anyone know how to post that? Edited May 5, 2008 by TheWhiteUrkel Quote

Make a bookmark list of the caches, make sure you make it viewable (?) to all, then copy the URL at the top of the page. When you reply on this thread, click the little globe and paperclip button on the tool bar right above where you are writing and paste the URL there. That should work. Quote

Oh no, I know all about the globe and paperclip thing (or by hand in BB code for that matter), but when I go to http://www.geocaching.com/seek/ then choose "Canada", then "Nunavut", the URL doesn't change, and so I can't post a link to the Nunavut caches.

+Shawn&Holly Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I knew there was a way to do this, took a few moments to remember how to set it up. Had them all bookmarked in the Pizmo, but the HDD died Enjoy! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?state_id=73 Quote
+Bzzliteyr Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I have one placed on the island, in Qikiqtarjuaq. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...60-2280ffc992e8 I'd love to see it found.. chances are the locals kids have found it an pillaged it, but take a look and report back if you can.. Quote
