Guest puma Posted March 6, 2001 Posted March 6, 2001 This is for all, but I am particularily interested to find out from Jeremy. How many times have each of you visited a cache out of state or country? Also curious to see what the longest distance you have traveled to seek out a cache. Quote
Guest jeremy Posted March 6, 2001 Posted March 6, 2001 Hopefully the person who vacationed in Australia will pipe up, or the one who visited Iceland, or Belize, etc. There are quite a few dropped off over a vacation, or visited (as in the case of Australia). There's a world travelling candle in a cache somewhere in the US right now. I've gone as far as Colorado from Washington State, which isn't that far. I have relatives back east so I'll go even farther, but I doubt I'll be hitting any out of the country any time soon. Jeremy Quote
Guest Moun10Bike Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 I am currently in England for two weeks for work, and hope to hit a cache or two while I'm here. I've stashed in two states - Idaho and Washington - but only searched so far in WA. Quote
Guest fryed Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 I live in Missouri and found stashes in Illinois and Arkansas. Quote

Guest CaptHawke Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 My etrex says that the cache I planted while vacationing in the Florida Everglades last week (447 Lane Bay, GC413) is 1330 miles away at a bearing of 223. Quote
Guest Paul Lamble Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 Well, so far, all of the caches I've found (6) have been out of state, but that's because I live on the Kansas side of Kansas City and all of the local caches are on the Missouri side. I'm going to Washington D.C. over spring break with the kids, and there is a cache there I hope to find. I think just about any time I am going anywhere and can budget in a little time, I'll determine which caches are there and plan on seeking some of them. Quote
Guest Markwell Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 I have an idea for Jeremy that I'd like to see on the website (if possible)... Summer vacations are coming up, and I'd love to see a state map version of the various caches. We already group the caches by state, I was wondering how hard it would be to place a map of each state/provice with the general location of logged caches with a dot for each. That way my family could see on a broader sense if there were caches on our proposed path. What thinkest thou? Quote
Guest jeremy Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 Well, I am testing a mapping system now. Please no comments on changes to the map as this is just something I'm fiddling with at the moment. http://www.geocaching.com/cache/maps.asp We'll definitely have something more robust come spring. The fear I have with this application is it may not be robust enough for the traffic we get on the site. I'm hoping to have something more permanent soon. Jeremy Quote
Guest Markwell Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 OUTSTANDING!!!! I thought that this was going to be something that would take weeks of development - and you post this message literally minutes after mine! GREAT JOB - and I think the maps are VERY useful. Necessity may be the mother of Invention, but Ingenuity is the father. Quote
Guest bob_renner Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 The map is GREAT. It was always hard before to pick out which caches were near an area where you were visiting especially if it was not near home. This makes it a snap to pick out caches near a vacation area. Now if we could just have it color coded according to the user's logged visits. Or am I asking for too much??? Bob Renner Quote
Guest Markwell Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 HEY! Jeremy said "no comments" - so I was holding back. But if we ARE going to comment, wouldn't you rather have it that you could click on the marker on the state map and go to that cache's page? But, as I said, I'm holding back, so I won't make that comment yet. ;-) Quote
Guest jeremy Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 quote:wouldn't you rather have it that you could click on the marker on the state map and go to that cache's page?[/b] It does that already. It's an imagemap. Jeremy Quote

Guest Bryan Posted March 18, 2001 Posted March 18, 2001 GREAT MAP(S)! I know.....I suck. But anyway.....here is the comment......Make the maps bigger. In the Chicago area the caches overlap. This is going to be very helpfull for Camping / Geocaching trips this summer! Hey guys - also pay attention to the "Amazon Honor System" Banner to help Jeremy with the upkeep of this site. If you can spare a few I am sure this will help offset the overhead! Bryan Quote
