+5ft-20 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Has anyone else got a random cache when they do a query? I limit most of my searches to a state (usually Louisiana or Texas), but I seem to get a random (only one) cache located in the NW or NE now when I use the 1000 cache max. So far I've gotten one cache included from OR, Nev and NY when I limited my search to Louisiana. Thanks Link to comment
+pissedfish Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I ran a query for Alabama and got a cache in Australia!! Link to comment

+Lil Devil Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 As far as I can tell, it only appears on the map preview. The emailed downloaded GPX file does not include the errant cache. Link to comment
+KJcachers Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) its an Easter Egg. go find that errant cache and win a prize! Edited May 1, 2010 by KJcachers Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 It also gives a different count in the map preview. I have over 995 in the GPX, but map preview only shows 753. I wonder how this bug crept in, I find it mildly amusing (mainly because I don't have to fix it). All those people asking for archived caches in their PQs got their wish. Sort of Link to comment
+mvsopen Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am in California, but when the 1000 limit query is reached, I keep seeing "vintage" caches (i.e. GC0004, GC00007) in Washington. Strange bug! I'd hate to have to track that one down. Link to comment
