Cache saturation test! Join in!

[+Coldgears]

I've always thought I had pretty good cache saturation. There's a lot of caches near me. But I believe I may be wrong and it may be pretty bad actually. So I'm doing an experiement. I want everyone to do a pocket query of 10 miles of there home coords and see how many they get. For me there is 642 from my home coords... What about yours? I live right near philly so that may give me the "city advantage!"

I am in the Phoenix, AZ area. I should also point out that I included caches I already found - just to see how many their were. If I exclude caches I found, there are 0 withing 10 miles of my home location.

I drive a lot to get to where caches are....

And here I thought my area had a low saturation...a whole 52 caches showed up on the PQ.

 

And yes, a caching trip is usually a day long event and doing a 100 miles is an easy run!!

It's not unusual for me to drive 30 miles to get a cache out in the woods here. I try to clump a bunch together (and by a bunch I mean like 5) and make it a day trip. There's no quick after work caches for me. It's a weekend day trip if I want to get some.

i'm waiting to see someone from California posting their results, i think that's going to be 2000 caches

[GOF's Sock Puppet]

630. I would have guessed more.

[+Y2KOTA]

290 total, 47 I haven't found yet. But I live a mile from the Gulf. That cuts the number down big time.

[+Harry Dolphin]

609, not counting those on my ignore list. Philly is still having a problem with that cache thief, isn't it?

Thanks! Your pocket query has been saved and currently results in 534 caches.

[+Navi-Gatr]

When I tried to submit the query , I got a message saying "You can choose from 1 to 1000 results in a query". How do I expand this amount since there are more than 1000 caches within a 10 mile radius of my home coordinates?

[+ihorn]

This is From the Los Angeles area. I think there is more, but the system will only let me do 1000 total. My PQ only goes up to 7.1 miles. So yeah I know there are more.

 

The actual number for 10 miles is 1391, but within 25 miles I have 5887 different caches to find. Yay for me.

I would have thought even more for Phoenix. When you look at Google Earth maps at a certain magnification it looks like a single big green moldy blob has obliterated the city.

[+SwineFlew]

For those that got alot of caches within 10 miles, how many of them are LPC? For those that hate them, dont count them in this thread.

right. "Pretty good" cache saturation doesn't necessarily mean a lot of caches.

When I checked the distance to the 1000th cache, it turns out to be 9.9 miles from my home coordinates.

[+Gamaliel]

564. I've always heard this is a pretty cache dense area so I expect it would be a lot more if not for that large 1000 sq mile bay directly south of me.

I do have 16 caches if I up the radius to 20 miles - with 4 belonging to me...

 

I like to drive....

[+Panther&Pine]

GASK says 98, I've found 78 of those.

Southern Colorado isn't particularly dense, but we've got good ones.

[+Markwell]

905

 

Instead of a PQ, do the advance seek page, plug in your address and choose the limit of 10 miles.

[+Ike 13]

422 from my home.

We're in CA, but not really near any big metro areas. We are surrounded by fields, orchards, and a big Air Force Base.

Right in the city. I wonder ho many more there would be if we didn't have Lake Erie taking up such a large chunk of that ten mile circle?

[+Jumpin' Jack Cache]

30, 14 of which I own.

[+entogeek]

447 for me on the eastern border of Toronto and Pickering.

 

I forgot to add that I have Lake Ontario about 200 m directly south of me so that's going to cut down the count.

Tops out at 1000 before it gets to 10 miles.

From what I've noticed he stopped a month ago. It seems like it's the aftershock now of people having to archive/fix to avoid reviewer intervention. A few are still disabled like, more coffee on grant ave, but my needs maintance notification isn't going off like crazy anymore.

[+Show Me the Cache]

666 !

 

I'm in southwest Louisville, KY. We have an excellent mix of all types of hides and all levels of difficulty and terrain. The largest urban forest in the United States is within this area and has over 100 caches.

 

Peace,

52 caches, 12 of them are mine

[+hesslv]

823 in the Las Vegas area.

[+hydnsek]

I wasn't able to go out to 10 miles before hitting the 1000 limit. 9 miles either. At 8 miles, I had 900 caches. This is centered in Newcastle, WA, just east of Seattle. Considering there are some large bodies of water within that radius, the land areas are pretty saturated (with caches).

11.3km, which Google tells me is 7.02 miles.

[+SweetPea&Crew]

55. 19 are mine.

[+SWiggles]

Interesting idea. It will be fun to see the results.

 

It took 3 PQs to get the full count, but from my home near Sacramento, the total is 2255 within 10 miles.

[+CanDMan47]

179 for me, in Battle Creek, MI.

[+no ceiling]

546. More than I was expecting.

[+911turbos]

953 for me.

[+terrkan78]

731 for me.

[+not tom]

Done as Markwell suggested. Came up with 1504 for Zip code 91750. A little over 100 are mine.
