Geocaching Growth

[+wimseyguy]

I'm planning the annual spring trip to Myrtle Beach SC. I noticed that there are now 20 caches within 20 miles of the most central one. Last year I had to drive 20 miles just to find a fourth in the area. It still isn't a cache dense destination (like having 120 golf courses within 60 miles, and they take up a lot more space than a cache), but it's nice to see that kind of increased local activity in our sport. Especially so close to home and a nice place to visit.

 

It made me wonder what other areas have experienced significant cache activity growth in the past year as well?

The local papers have run a couple articles on geocaching. It has created a spurt.

What's the zip of Myrtle Beach? I'm going there for the first time this summer.

Good to see another Parrothead in the group.

 

 

These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes;

Nothing remains quite the same.

Through all of the islands and all of the highlands,

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
