How Many Physical Caches Within 50mi/80 Km Of Home


Recommended Posts

Just curious.

 

We have 9.

10 within 100 miles.

 

Yep, that's it. We've found all except one of the nine and that one has probably floated out to sea.

I live in a state capital [in Australia] but we are a long way from any other city. The next town wih more than 20,000 people is about 1500 km away.

 

See why we love locationless caches here? :lol:

723 caches within 50 miles of Vineland, NJ

2239 within 100 miles

 

(These numbers include caches that have been archived/disabled)

 

I remember reading that there are somewhere between 400-500 active caches in Southern NJ. (And we haven't even found a quarter of them yet - what a bummer! :lol: ) So many caches, so little time!!

within 50 miles of my zip (32246) there are 841. Extend out to 100 miles and it goes up to 1461. We thought we had cleared the area within a 20 mile radius then we went on a two week vacation a few weeks ago and when we returned map of not founds looked like we hadn't been caching in months. Back to work for us.

600 physical caches within 50 miles

1638 total caches within 100 miles [sorry -- too much bother to eliminate the virtuals, events, etc.]

 

My closest available cache is 16.6 miles but, up here in the mountains of western North Carolina, would take me about an hour to drive.

Where I live in Bedford, New Hampshire, USA:

34 within 10 miles

193 within 20 miles

829 within 50 miles

 

But, at our "summer home" in Lincoln, Maine, USA:

0 within 10 miles

3 within 20 miles

7 within 30 miles

40 within 40 miles

80 within 50 miles

 

Depending on where one lives, getting 100 caches can be either the

result of a handful of days of geocaching, or could require a few

months of geocaching days!

 

BTW, for a good quick overview of "cache density," look at the

maps on Buxley's Geocaching Waypoint

PS: This is one reason I really like the "locationless" caches. Even in some

of the more remote areas, there are still opportunities for at least a few of

those...

"Too many."

 

50 mile = 1259

100 mile = 2814

 

I thought geocaching was a whole lot more fun when there were only a couple of hundred caches within 50 miles. Yep, them were the good ol' days. If ya wanted to snag a dozen caches in a day, it meant a 15 hour day and at least 250 miles of driving. I remember the time in early 2002 that I drove from my home in New Jersey and picked up every cache on the south fork of Long Island all the way to Montauk Light. Left at 6 a.m., got home again around 8 p.m. I believe the total was 13 caches.

From the center of ZC 98034, Kirkland, WA:

50mi=1666 caches

100mi=3035

 

The interesting thing I noted, when I do one of the entire state, there are only 3563 caches.

 

I'm not going to try to strip out any archived or virtual. That's just too many pages to go through.
