+Gan Dalf Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Thought I'd try to post something that I haven't seen before in the Forums... For those of you that place caches regularly, what are the degrees across which you have placed? I have caches at 47 and 48 degrees North Latitude and 121, 122, and 123 West Longitude. I'm also waiting for a cache to publish (it's an Earth cache) that is at 124 degrees West Longitude. So how about you? Do you tend to place caches really close to home or do you take pride in spreading your caches out as far as you can? I am from Washington State and I recently found a cache placed by someone in our state down in Mississippi, more than 2000 miles away. That was an EC too so it's not a maintanence issue but I wonder how many cachers place caches far from what they currently call home. Feel free to share caches that you've placed where you lived and moved away from and how that is working out for you now that you've moved and also the cache. And caches that you've placed at Mom's house a thousand miles away that you maintain when you go home for [insert your holiday of choice here]... Just one of those things that my mind often wanders into that makes me wonder, thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have caches in North 42 and North 43, but the line runs about 2 miles south of my house. My northernmost and southernmost caches are maybe 40 miles apart. And I attribute that mainly to working 20 miles South of where I live. I'll bet 25% my caches over the years have been lunch hour/after work placements "down south". Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Most of my caches are at N40 or N41 W74 but I have a few at N42 W72 Quote Link to comment
+RIclimber Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) I live just a few miles from N42 W71 so my caches are in N41 N42, W70 W71. Back in 2002, (and before the rules) I hid a few caches around Disney N28 W81. I also hid caches near family and have held events in a few places. Total list: N28W81 N41W70 N41W71 N41W72 N41W74 N42W70 N42W71 EDIT: I just hid my 200th cache, so a quick look got me some easy numbers: N28W81 1% N41W70 5% N41W71 75% N41W72 1% N41W74 1% N42W70 16% N42W71 1% Edited October 7, 2011 by Downy288 Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Wow!!! You guys are tough! Most of mine were hidden at 98.6, more or less, but one was hidden while I was running a slight fever, probably 102 or so. I never should have gone out that day, but the weather was awesome so I couldn't just stay home and take fluids. Quote Link to comment
+Gan Dalf Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 I live just a few miles from N42 W71 so my caches are in N41 N42, W70 W71. Yeah, mee too. I'm less than a minute south of 48 degrees and a few minutes west of 122 so I'm real close to the 48/122 confluence. Plus my inlaws are real close to the 48/123 confluence and so it's easy for me to spread my degrees around. Quote Link to comment
+CanadianRockies Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Most of our hides are around home in Alberta at W114 and W113. In June, we hid two caches near my South Dakota relatives at W96. My geocaching cousin kindly agreed to maintain those. In August, we hid one cache at my in-laws on Prince Edward Island at W63. Ms. CR's parents are maintaining that one. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 N 40 or N 41, W 74 or W 73. About a 46 mile spread east to west. About 25 miles north to south. Plus, of course, my webcam: N 44 W 71. Quote Link to comment

+NYPaddleCacher Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My extremes: South: earthcache in Argentina- S 32° W 069° East: earthcache in Laos- N 19° E 101° North and West- traditional caches in Cleveland Ohio- N 41° W 081° Pretty impressive but I doubt that anyone will ever be able to top Steve (Licorice). Hoping to add a new country (Belgium) to my find list next week. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) I doubt that anyone will ever be able to top Steve (Licorice). Hoping to add a new country (Belgium) to my find list next week. Holy schnikes! Yeah, Licorice might have it. So far we have... N 32, 33, 37, 38, 49, 50, 60 W 86, 85, 84, 79, 78 E 7, 8 Most of these are physical caches. Some are now archived, others we've kept going through help from local maintainers. We published a challenge around N 30 E 46. Edited October 7, 2011 by hzoi Quote Link to comment
