+Imener Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Is there any chance of getting a "Drive by only" or "Cash & Dash" option on the search page please? We would like to be able to search an area for caches that are close to the road and not a lengthy walk. I know the idea is to get you out and about exercising and enjoying yourself, which we do mostly, but sometimes we don't have time to do a lengthy walk to a cache and a drive by or cache and dash is ideal. The problem at the moment is having to trawl through them all and open each cache detail in an area to find the ones we want; which can take hours when the site is having one of its lazy days. (which is all too often sometimes). Thanks Link to comment

Penguin_ar Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I am not a premium member, but I believe you guys can search by attribute? There is a P for Parking nearby that should, in theory, cover your requirements. Link to comment
+9Key Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Do a pocket query using 1 / 1 as your difficulty / terrain rating? Link to comment

There is a P for Parking nearby that should, in theory, cover your requirements. That wouldn't work. What about a parking lot at the beginning of a 30 mile walk/bike trail with caches all along it?

+StarBrand Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Do a pocket query using 1 / 1 as your difficulty / terrain rating? Do a route query for 1.5/1.5 or less caches within .1 (can you go that low??) miles of the route with the Parking attribute - that ought to cover it. No cache should be more than 528 feet from the raod - be easy to find - little terrain if any and have parking that is easy to spot. Link to comment

A few will probably be missing, especially since some do not add attributes. For the most part with a handful of exceptions the PQ I ran with that criteria for my area looked pretty much what you are asking for. Link to comment
+Imener Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks Guys/Gals Will try your suggestions. Link to comment
+Puppy Dawg Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Not everybody marks attributes. I'd saw the route idea is best. Link to comment
