+CheekyBrit Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Have you ever wanted to publish a series of geocaches, whether it be a GeoArt, or perhaps along a trail, where you want the GC codes similar or even in a sequence? For example: GC9TJ1A GC9TJ1B GC9TJ1C GC9TJ1E GC9TJ1F GC9TJ1H GC9TJ1J Those are some of mine in a GeoArt that isn't worth your time. I know certain letters are not included in our beloved GC codes, namely "L, O, U, I, & S". But barring those, I have never been able to get an uninterrupted sequence of GC codes because somewhere else in the world a lovely person is adding to the game board as well (so glad they do). But I'm guessing there are ebbs and flows of when more or fewer people are starting cache pages and using the next GC code in the queue. If you could figure out that time, you could publish a big sequence of GC codes in order and it would be so satisfying. You can go quicker, of course, whipping out a new cache page in 20 seconds or so and then updating the pages later. But when do you think is the quietest time to publish? It isn't as simple as just night time since we have big geocaching communities in time zones around the world. My guess is somewhere around 6AM GMT where Americans are mostly going to sleep, Europeans are just waking up, and Australians are still busy battling the relentless vegemite hoards. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure of the time but it was probably late morning here, so the early hours UTC. I wasn't trying to get consecutive GC codes and by the time I worked through enough of the cache creation steps to get a GC code, it was probably ten or fifteen minutes between each one and likely a fair bit longer between the first and second. The GC codes I ended up with are GCAY66C, GCAY69A, GCAY6A1, GCAY6AC and GCAY6AJ. Quote Link to comment

Isn't the GC number generated when the page is created? ie. Start a cache page, it has a GC number there already? (Long time since I set a cache!) Doesn't matter when it gets Published by a Reviewer.
