+Cole59 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 What are your top GeoCaching Cities and why? My top 3 right now are: 1. Corvallis Oregon - lost of traditional caches in beautiful locations all within a 10 mile range. 2. Anchorage, Alaska - again beautiful trailes and parks, and where else can you run into a moose while geocaching. 3. Englewood/Cherry Creek (Denver), Colorado - Great night caching along beautiful urban green space trails. Mix of traditional and micro. What are yours? Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I totally dislike Cities, only go there by accident. Prefer the real country. Can you find this in a City http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=43977 Tahosa - Dweller of the Mountain Tops.

+CCrew Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I agree with Tahosa. Cities are only good for earning money so you can live in the country :-P If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing in the store is free yet? Quote Link to comment
+Cole59 Posted December 8, 2002 Author Share Posted December 8, 2002 Sure, every GeoCacher likes to be out and away, but I don't want to sound "elitist". If I'm on a business trip, I'm not going to have time to do a "true" cache. So I like cities that make you feel like you are "out there" when you aren't. It's better than sitting in the hotel room flipping the channels. So, let's get past the "purism" and give me those favorite cities to be in and around. Quote Link to comment
+Team Tecmage Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 So far, Kansas City and St. Louis. KC has a lot of caches in busy spots, neighborhood parks (which is a challenge in itself), and some truly quiet spots. St. Louis has similar characteristics. Both cities have a lot of history (Western Expansion), and Geocachers have done a good job at incorporating some of that history into Geocaching. Geocaching in the country is fine, but we usually prefer more urban caching settings. Quote Link to comment
dogsoldier Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 ...looks like I'm in luck! I not only went lived in and went to grade school - high school in your #1-Corvallis...I currently live in your #3-SW Denver metro area! Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I love caching "in" my home city of Bend, Oregon. The variety of terrain available within 30-60 minutes of the city is amazing. High desert, canyons, lakes, high mountains, forest, caves, nuclear wasteland, etc. My only complaint is that its now dark before I leave work. IMHO, the non-city caches here aren't a good idea in the dark. Then again, I'm no logscaler PS. Logscaler, when is that cool night-only pipe cache going in?? Quote Link to comment
Radman Forever Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I love Northern Michigan. There is different weather all year round. Nothing but woods, fields, and lakes. Of course there are better places. But I have a deep love for all what it has to offer. Faster than a dial-up Internet connection, stronger than any band nerd, look up at the sky! ....is it a bat..... no .....is it my grandma's mustache..... NO! IT'S RADMAN Version 2.0!

+TMAN264 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I second the post for Northern Michigan, especially the traverse City area. We have at least 30 caches here, mostly traditionals, plus some micros, virtuals, and puzzles caches. I know that quite a few people do a cacheing weekend up here from the downstate area (Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing). It is a great place to live! My other favorite areas were Monterey CA, and San Franciso CA. Will cache for food. Quote Link to comment
+jollybgood Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Last summer I had to stay in Indy for about a week (my father was in the hospital down there). Between visiting hours I was able to get out and do some caching. I was very impressed with Indy. It'd been about 15 years since I'd been there. Lot's of great caches and beautiful places to see. My favorite was James Whitcomb Riley's grave. Jolly R. Blackburn http://kenzerco.com Quote Link to comment
+Byron & Anne Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 None. I don't cache in cities. But I sure have liked some of the caches in the Cascade Mountians. Byron Quote Link to comment
+azmark Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Phoenix is a great city to geocache in. Home of the largest city park in the country, it has it's fair share of non-city caches. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I am likely going to have to go to Chicago in the near future for a day or so. I won't have very much time for hiking and such. How is Chicago Metor for urban caching? Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. Quote Link to comment
