boreal jeff & sons Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I plan on being in that area at the beginning of December and want to look for some caches. Could someone from there: 1. Give me a the latitude and longitude of some place near Dunnville or Stoney Creek so I can do a search for Geocaches. (is there any other way to do this search?) 2. Recommend caches of special interest. I will only have about four to six hours to do some caching and want to hit as many as possible.

+worldtraveler Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Dunnville, ON N42° 54.261' W079° 37.075' Stoney Creek, ON N43° 13.707' W079° 45.809' I got these coords by doing a city search on my Garmin V. Or you can look up cache GC13A4 and then search for nearby caches. That's a cache I found in that area recently. Worldtraveler Quote Link to comment
J.A.R.S. Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 When I don't have access to Mapsource, I like this government site for getting general latitude/longitude coordinates for Canadian cities and towns: http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/english/cgndb.html ----- --------------- --------------- I don't know what you are going to do, but I know I can't lie around and be lazy. I am a Thing-Finder, and when you're a Thing-Finder you don't have a minute to spare....The whole world is full of things, and somebody has to look for them. And that's just what a Thing-Finder does. -Pippi Longstocking Quote Link to comment
Bradinn Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Although I live in Ajax, which is on the other side of Toronto from Hamilton, I know the area fairly well. If you can email me, or post an approximate address in Hamilton where you will be, I can get the coordinates and find you the nearest cache, then you could do a search from there for the closest. Actually, I have Streets and Trips loaded with all of the Canadian Caches, so I can help with the other cities as well, though I am not familiar with them. If you can provide me with a rough address, I can get coordinates as well as nearest caches to base searches on, if you like..

boreal jeff & sons Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 I used the coordinates and found some nearby caches. I don't know the exact address I will be staying at (Wife's side of the family). Hope the weather will coorperate when I'm down there.
