Jaycosauras Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 We are new to Geocaching, and my husband and I camp at least one weekend a month in Texas State Parks. Is there a way to seach for caches inside the parks? The method I have been using is getting the zip code for the park, plugging it into geocaching.com and pulling up a list. But that list has often one hundred or more listing and I have to open each one to see if it happens to say it's in the park. There must be a better way. Our goal is to see the "off the beaten path" parts of State Parks, without getting in the car, so we'd like to hike from our campsite to caches left in various parks. Anyone have any ideas?

+Pudman Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 After plugging in the zip and getting a list, click on "Map It" and then see which ones are in the park on the map. Maybe this will narrow it down a little. Quote Link to comment

+alchemist2000 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Wow this link sure has saved me, many a time. Thanks so much for the suggestion. Glad you found the site useful. We also love caching in Texas State Parks. I monitor the caches primarily by keeping watch on all new caches listed for Texas. However, it is not always obvious that some caches are in a state park or I miss them for some other reason. I ask everyone to shoot me an e-mail if you find things that need to be updated (added or subtracted) so the lists can be as accurate as possible. Quote Link to comment
