+team kweb cakes Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Greatings brothers and sisters to the north! Couple of questions I was hoping you could help me with since I can't seem to find the answers by doing a search etc. Mainly, my wife is Canadian and we haven't been up to see the family in awhile and are headed that way in the next couple weeks. I'm trying to get some caching in while we're there. My problem is finding out what caches are close to what towns and roads etc. Buxley and GC.com have a little to be desired. HERE is a link to a caching/map page for caches in the Czech Rep. Is there anything along these lines for Canada? I guess that was only one major question. Thanks in advance for your help.

+PDOP's Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'm not aware of any options other then the two you've mentioned. You might consider Pocket Queries and MS Streets and Trips as per these instructions. Hope you have a good trip. Quote Link to comment
+Binrat Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 What city are the family in? The Golden Horseshoe cachers have a crude map but it does kinda work. If they are in the Ottawa-Kingston-Cornwall area I could provide a file of all cache in this area for Streets and trips. Quote Link to comment

+murfster Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 My problem is finding out what caches are close to what towns and roads etc. I have the same problem as I travel about. I Google the name of the place I'm going.. find a postal code ( Like your Zip codes ) the search on that. Hope that helps. PS Depending on how far north you go, you might need a shovel Murfster Quote Link to comment
+Amazon Annie Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 As Planemaker mentioned, if you are coming up to Ontario, we have a applet on the OGA site where you can submit the name of a town and it will give you the coordinates along with a map and a link to local geocaches on GC.com. OGA Town Search Page We have monthly get togethers in the "Golden Horseshoe" area (Toronto to Niagara) so let us know if this fits the criteria and we can fill you in on any events.

Jimbo810 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Not trying to be too obvious, but you could check out the rough lat and long of where you plan on going and then using the find nearest chache option on this web site. Works for all my local caches. Cheers Jimbo Quote Link to comment
