Zentreri Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Is there a way to generate a list of cacher's whose home co-ordinates are close to yours? Or list all cachers usernames from a certain area? Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Not that I know of. Trying to find local cachers?? If you go to Dan's stats page you can bring up a list of cache finders in an city, or even whole state. But it will just bring up everyone who has found a cache there, not live there... Where any given cacher lives is privacy issue, and unless they decide to tell, your not going to find out easily. Where are you from? Quote Link to comment
+LarsThorwald Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 You'll figure it out, once you start to find a few caches, by reading the posts of the others who've been searching in your area... You could even start now! Look to see who always makes it in the first five finds - those are your die-hards! Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

+Team StitchesOnQuilts Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Well, this isn't a programmatic solution, but you could have an event cache in your area, and see who shows up. It won't be a complete list of all cachers in your area, but it'll be a great list of people who are likely friendly enough to ask questions. I pick peoples' brains at event caches. Cachers seem to like to talk about their finds, their GPSes, wierd experiences, etc. I share mine, too, of course, although most cachers in this area have more experience than I do. Shannah P.S. I have hosted an event cache; if you want a hand, please feel free to email me. Quote Link to comment
+RJFerret Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 ...but, you could post a message in the appropriate regional forum. A scan of who has posted there would be a discrete way to determine such. Randy Quote Link to comment

+Wadcutter Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Would finding other geocachers in your area make them a virtual cache or a locationless cache? How do I log them? Quote Link to comment
