A "must-do" geocache resource

[CaptJackSpardow]

Fellow Cachers,

 

A few of us have been compiling a resource list of must-do geocaches. This volunteer-produced list of exceptional geocaches may be a helpful research and planning tool for you and your summer travel plans:

 

http://edge.moofgroup.com/edged/?q=node%2F5

 

Note-- This is not necessarily a "highest-favorited" list (since we know that favorite-counts alone are not a sole indicator of a cache's 'awesomeness') but rather a list of personally recommended geocaches from fellow cachers, just like you.

 

If you know of any other exceptional geocaches that are not on this list (especially in non-US regions), we'd love to hear about them as well! Feel free to drop by our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/edgegc/) to share your love of creative and/or exceptional geocaches.

 

Thank you.

I just sent a request to join your group. I only go outta my way for outstanding caches and I can really add to your list. I think even a couple of mine would make the cut.

Excellent! Thanks for your help!

 

We're also looking for input on non-US caches as well, so if you know anyone, please send them our way!

Your link for the Illinois cache is directed to the Indiana one.

Thanks! We'll look into it!

[+J the Goat]

I didn't check all the links, but at least one of your California caches links to a different cache.

You might want to try them again. They appear to be working.

 

If you spot any other errors, or you'd like to contribute to the list, feel free to drop us a line at edgecaching@gmail.com or try our facebook group (please be sure to include the gc code of the cache in question!)

 

Thanks!

who listed this cache as being awesome?

http://coord.info/GC3197F - Cave Man

I found as being trashy, broken glass and sometime there is someone living in it. The cave isn't even that deep.

 

edit: forgot to mention over rated. No equipment needed. You walk up a hill about 100ft from the road and squeeze in a hole and go about 10 ft find cache. Barely even needed light.

Now if you want to find good adventures try cachers up in Marin. they go kayaking, cave hunting (real caves).

As someone mention in another thread, ones like J5Crew

Hence the problem with any kind of list like this. In the same way as favourite points, "awesomeness" is completely subjective, and everyone will have their own definition.

A good cache is in the eye of the beholder, nevertheless, EDGE is holding our first "Cache of the Month" award. We've selected four finalists that were placed in January, 2012.

 

We've seen none of the caches, but would like input from anybody here who has found one of the caches. The four nominee's are:

http://coord.info/GC3BNZG - The Troublemaking Spy

 

http://coord.info/GC390AM - Indy's 39 Clues - The Gauntlet

 

http://coord.info/GC3EE3H - Lesson for Urban Geocaching

 

Anybody here got some personal insight on any of these caches?

I imagine the CO does not want too much said on this one, but its a nice cache. It requires a certain something to open it and has sections which divide up different kinds of swag. On private property with permission.

Any kind of list, personal recommendation from friends, etc. etc. That said, I'd rather have some personal recommendations than looking solely at favorite points.
