+blindleader Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 (edited) This thread is for posting coordinates. Go to the Hide & Seek a Cache page and search by latitude and longitude. Then find the page that has caches at a radius of 20 miles. Post the name of the area, the coordinates, and the page number. Seattle area: N47-39.645 W122-03.250 Page 29 About 560 caches within 20 miles. I'm sure there must be a spot in Portland Oregon that comes pretty close to that. There maybe bits of California that greatly exceed that. What about the East Coast? Inquiring minds, etc. You're welcome to post different coordinates for areas already posted if it ups the cache count. Maybe someone can start another thread for country specific hotbeds. eg. Geocaching hotbeds - UK Edit for typo Edited February 18, 2004 by blindleader Quote Link to comment
+radioscout Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 If you go to Europe, look for the caches hidden by Bernd B in the Hamburg area. I have not counted them yet but there are lots of them. Quote Link to comment
+GeoCraig Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 How do you go to the page that shows the number of caches in a 20 mile radius? Quote Link to comment
+blindleader Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 How do you go to the page... There is no page that tells you how many caches there are. If you find the page showing caches 20 miles from your search center then that page number times 20 (the number of caches on each page) is the number of caches up through that page. There are links to the page numbers at the top and bottom of each page. If that's not what you're asking let me know. Quote Link to comment
+dhenninger Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Some east coast numbers within 20 miles of zip code: my area 07424: 340 caches Manhattan 10101: 252 caches Washington DC 20001: 357 caches Philadelphia 19101: 237 caches I guess so far the west coast is in the lead.

+Marky Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The number of caches within 20 miles of my zip code (95118) is 671 as of 2/18/04. The easy way to figure this out is to go to your state page, and then click on the "Other Search Options..." link. On that page, you can enter your zip code and enter 20 miles for your search radius. The total number found will be listed on the first page of the search results. --Marky Quote Link to comment

+Karma Hunter Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 (edited) Jeepers! This all explains some people's stats. We don't even have 15 caches within 20 miles. To get to a hundred we'd have to drive for hours in many directions. I'm not complaining- we live in a beautiful place and I'm happy about it; but each cache is a major undertaking. Those of you who have more than five caches you could call "lunch caches," or more than a handful you can reach in an afternoon, BE THANKFUL!

+GeoDiver/GeoGrammy Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Jeepers! This all explains some people's stats. We don't even have 15 caches within 20 miles. I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington State where we have caches galore. This weekend I will be traveling to Enid, Oklahoma for my nephew's wedding, so naturally I wanted to do some geocaching while there. Ran a search for a 25 mile radius of Enid...........Total Caches???..... 4..... two of which are virtual caches. Bummer! If it wasn't such a long trip to maintain the cache, I would hide one while there. Quote Link to comment
+WalruZ Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Huh. I live about 1/2 hour N of Markey. 94536 - 723 within 20 miles. we've done this before, recently. If I expand my radius to 30 miles I get 1383 caches. at 100 miles I get 3571 caches. an interesting statistic is to expand your search radius. If I put in 200 miles (or 300, or 400) I get 4080 caches. If I scale back to 125 miles I get 3839 caches. ok, so if you assume from that that the database query stops at 4080, how much distance does it take for you to reach that limit? Quote Link to comment

The higher the mountain the sweeter the climb? i've tapped all of the locals that are winter accessible. i've started making temps for my brother, i'm so antsy. Quote Link to comment

You left out Washington DC though. If you count that as a state, it trumps them all (of course 95% of the caches are virtuals....) Actually, most of Washington D.C.'s virtuals are actually WORTH something. And since there are so many of them so close together (all up and down the National Mall), it makes it worth the trip...you can walk from one interesting site to another completely different but equally interesting site. I personally like the ones that are in Arlington Cemetery...haven't been there yet, but I love Arlington Cemetery for the beauty, the peace, and the reverence in the area...I'll be going there soon. Since the virtuals placed there are intended to teach history about people worth revering, I appreciate the people who put them there. Quote Link to comment
+geoPirat Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Germany / Hessia / Fritzlar near Kassel (center of Germany) N51.07 E9.16 - there are 84 caches around my home in a 20 mls area. In Hamburg (Germany) N53.32 E9.58 there are 235 caches in the 20 mls radius. In Berlin (Germany) N52.31 E13.23 there are 161 caches in the 20 mls radius.

+BuzzKill Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Orange County, California: 538 caches within a 20 mile radius of 92725 (Santa Ana, CA - which is pretty much at the center of Orange County). Not bad when you consider that you run into the Pacific ocean about 10 miles to the Southwest, thus losing a good chunk of potential geocaching area! Quote Link to comment
