+The Gowen Family Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I would like to see a way to look up children friendly cacahes, as well as to look up by difficulty or terrian. We went on vacation and were only able to find two that were easy enought to take kids on. There were a bunch of caches we wanted to do, but couldn't. Link to comment

I usually hate it when people respond with the blanket answer of "use a pocket query" but in this case it's a prime example. Since you are a paying member use the pocket query feature to download the caches where you are going to travel. Then use Clay Jar's watcher program. You can filter out everything that isn't a 1/1 cache. -beatnik- Link to comment
+The Gowen Family Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Enless we don't know how to use it right, we still got a bunch that wouldn't be children safe. We told it to do traditional caches that were no farther then 30 miles from where we would be. We found 77 of them and they ranged from a 1 star to a 5 star. Link to comment
+Mopar Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Limit your terrain and difficulty to whatever you feel your kids can handle. You can tell your PQs to only return caches 2 terrain and lower, for example. "(Mopar is) good to have around and kick. Like an ugly puppy" - Jeremy Link to comment
+beatnik Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Or download all terrain and difficulty levels and let watcher sort them. Either way works. -beatnik- Link to comment
+The Gowen Family Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 I guess we are still not sure how to use it. We tried to limit the terrain and difficulty and when we tried to download it to the GPS, we still got all of them. We will try and play around with it some more and see what we can figure out.

+ClayJar Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 If you need help with using Watcher, the best place to get it is probably the geocaching chat. It's live, and there's almost always someone in there who is familiar with Watcher.
