+katymsw Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I am headed to Ontario Canada specifically to the town of Campbellford. I don't understand how to find hidden caches in while visiting. I go to advanced search and type in Canada for the Country and then Ontario. However, Ontario is huge. How do I narrow this down closer to where I will be staying? Edited February 25, 2009 by katymsw Quote Link to comment
sarahbelle Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) GC1HJW4 This one's in Campbellford. You can click on the link on the cache page that says find nearby caches to find other ones in the area. It will give you this page of caches in that area.

Or get the postal code of where you're staying, plug it into Search & Find a Cache, and voila ... all caches within 10 miles. Happy searching. CanadaKate Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I guess it is true. The moment Vinny posts, the thread starts going downhill (though in a delightfully entertaining way). No occult hand involvement here? I was going to respond "keep heading north" in respose to "How to find Canada" and "wait for snow to melt" in response to "How to find caches in Canada"... Anyway, I find that the map view is best. It not only shows you what is nearby, most of the time you can figure out how to get there from where you are / will be as well. Quote Link to comment

+JoesBar Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Log on to geocaching.com. Go to "hide and seek a cache." Scroll down until you see, "search with Google maps." click on that. Enter "campbellford on" in the search box. where it says , 'zoom to address.' (the 'on' means ontario) you will then see the caches in that city. Have fun up north there, eh.

It scares me! It is as if an occult hand had reached down from above and moved the players like pawns upon some giant chessboard, orchestrating each utterance of "Eh?". Strange! Oh great. Now I'm in trouble. I never actually make fun of Canadians in the Canada forum. Here's a primer for your visit. The Meaning of Eh! EH = pronounced AY (similar, but not the same as huh) Eh is a useful word that is very important and is the basis of all Canadian communications. It is used in conjunction with other words, or simply by itself. The tone or the slight differences in exclamation also changes the meaning:- Eh? = what did you say? Eh? = what do you think? EH? = something to say just to end a sentence. Ehhhh!! = WOW!! EH!? = what do you mean? Eh?? = your joking!!!?? EH!! = Hello..(you off in the distance!!!) Eh? want a doughnut or some Tim Bits? Eh! = sure!! Eh!Eh! = coffee double-cream too please! Eh? = what you say when you realize you have no money to pay for it. Eh..cmon, eh? = asking them to let you pay for it next time. hey..eh! = want to go to the drive-in movie?? Eh...uhuh = yes sure! Eh..y'know = I'll pick you up at 8:00 (8:30 in Newfoundland). Eh..cmon!! = well that's early..but ok. Eh..wanna? eh? = lets fool around ... EHHHHHHH = sounds coming from the car. hey..um..er eh... = I'm pregnant! EH????????? = how did that happen? EHHehhEHHehhEHHH = sounds from the delivery room. EHHH-ehh, EHHH-ehh = baby's first cry. Ehh..whadya think eh? = marry me. from Canadianisms Quote Link to comment

+entogeek Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 So I assume everyone knows how this great country of ours was named? When the first English settler arrived and asked of a Acadian they had just met what this country was called, the Acadian replied that the First Nations people called it Canada. When the English settler asked how to spell Canada, the Acadian replied, Wait for it... Wait... Just a little longer now... Almost there... "C EH! N EH! D EH!" Now wasn't that worth the wait! Groan.... Quote Link to comment

Mag Magician Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hee hee! Vinny can be quite funny and entertaining, but is harmless in reality. (well, unless you want to check out the psycho caches). OK, to the OP, if you have made up your mind, and done a search where you want to be, you will be overwhelmed with all the caches within your grasp. If you want a thousand micros in a lamppost, you are welcome to them where you are going. Quote Link to comment
