Geocaching town names

[+kleidner]

Recently while on a vacation trip, driving on I95 I saw a sign for Micro, North Caroline. Just a big sign with Micro and an arrow. Are there other town in the US with names that GEOCACHERS would find “interesting” that you have seen?

 

Post the state, town name and a road they are off of (or on) so we can look them up.

There's a Cache, Oklahoma, not far from Lawton. And there's a cache in cache (I think that's what the cache name is).

 

EDIT: Cachin' in Cache and OK Cache in Cache, OK

So why didn't you pull off of the highway to find the True Micro Cache?

Not a city called Cache, but Kingsland, Arkansas, the birthplace of Johnny Cash, is begging for a cache called "Johnny Cache", that is if there isn't already a cache with that name. (there probably is)

Oh, oh! I've been there! Found a nice little cache in a park there while on my honeymoon (much to the wife's dismay... Something about a honeymoon being about spending time with her. What a silly idea!!! )

This past summer the little woman and I were in Newfoundland for two weeks... traveled all across the province.

 

I soooo wish I was a geocacher then... there are a ton of good places to stash a cache and so many places we visited I later learned had caches. grrrr...

 

Oh yes... we will go back.

 

I had actually bought her a GPS a year before with geocaching in mind... but we hadn't gotten around to starting yet.

Both are GZ's - Cache OK

I've cached a few times in Cashion, Oklahoma. It was always fun to say you've been cachin' in Cashion. Oklahoma - A great caching state.

[+Juicepig]

Whew!! Finally... a post that goes beyond a town name based on the word "cache"! People... the word "cache" is not unique to geocaching. Most likely, those towns named "Cache" or variations of same actually had a "cache" of foodstuff at one time (or possibly ammunition). I liked "Micro", thought my "Swagway" was lame, but different, and "Waypoint" original. Can't SOMEBODY please find a "Wherigo, Iowa" or something?

Good old Huntsville, TX, home of the most active lethal injection table in the US.

Cachin' in Cache is great, especially if you are the Cache Police

Cache County, Utah has lots of caches in it.

Im assuming Cache Valley is in Cache County.

Yes, mostly. Geographically speaking, Cache Valley extends well into Idaho with about 1/3 of it being north of the Utah-Idaho border in Franklin County, but about of half each of Cache County and Franklin County is mountainous and is therefore not considered part of the geographic Cache Valley. However, in conventional use, Cache Valley usually refers to all of both Cache and Franklin Counties.

 

Yes, we would love to own a cache in Cache County, but it is a little too far away for cache maintance.
