+Fababoo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've been planning a trip out to the Groundspeak Block Party in August and found a few bookmarks on the "triad" caches that list all the caches, by state, that have 20+ cavorted points. I found it imemsly helpful in figuring out where in the states to go that will have something interesting to see, a fun cache to do or a significant cache in history. It's really made the Washington/Oregon side of the border a snap to start planning. Since we're looking into the possibility visiting BC for a week before our Washington week I was hoping to find something similar on our side of the border. I've seen a list here in Ontario that has all the caches in order from most favoured down but is there one for BC? Specifically looking for anything between Victoria and Prince George. At worst case can someone recommend a few highly rated caches that might lead to others? Quote Link to comment

You could then sort by clicking on the blue "favorites" badge to see the top favorited caches. Quote Link to comment
+Fababoo Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 That's it! Just what the Dr. ordered. Not something I've ever looked for, until now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Fababoo Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 BTW, "cabooses" is iPhone for "favoured", but you knew that. Quote Link to comment
+Dr. House Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 LOL... Yeah... BlackBerry has an app for that called "Spell Check". At least us BB users get something done right Quote Link to comment

At least us BB users get something done right Now that I look at this again, it sounds rather snotty. Totally wasn't trying to be rude to you Fababoo, but rather poke fun at the iPhone! Hope you understood Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hey.. it's a starting point... (I'm sure I posted this in the COG forums? Hmmm. I had worked them all out. Doh!

Hope you understood No problem, I take jokes rather well and my snottiness detector is usually turned off, especially when I know the person so well. LOL iPhones have spell check too don't you know. Notice cabooses was spelled correctly in the title. Thanks for the easy access links Roy! Quote Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I wandered into this thread thinking, someone actually likes caches hidden on cabooses? Quote Link to comment

+Fababoo Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Actually I do enjoy finding caches In cabooses but that wasn't the intent. In researching Washington I came across one that was used in a movie where they blew up the bridge with the train on it! The cache is in one of the cars at the bottom of the gully. @ Paul n Susan: thanks! If we're near one of them I'm sure to stop by! Quote Link to comment
+mrcanoehead224 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Specifically looking for anything between Victoria and Prince George. Wow, that's only a 900 km route... BTW, "cabooses" is iPhone for "favoured", but you knew that. I wandered into this thread thinking, someone actually likes caches hidden on cabooses?Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking along those lines! I was confused too, that's quite the caching niche. Although I do have at least three suggestions in Alberta Quote Link to comment
+julebear Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I started a bookmark list with some train caches. You might be interested in some of the caches. http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=00acaf43-3e6a-496c-96f3-8c901f5a870e Quote Link to comment
