Seeking Locationless Caches

You can search LCs by keyword, sort of.

 

You can't do it from GC.com's search page, but Google's advanced search does the job, albeit clumsily.

 

What you want to do is restrict the search to www.geocaching.com and search on your object's name and 'virtual'. This will give you all LCs and virts with your keyword on the page.

 

My search on 'baseball virtual' returned my LC, For the Love of the Game, on the very top of the search. Unfortunately, it also returned 212 results that I wasn't looking for.

Most locationless listings have names that would be difficult to discern without having to read the description. Someone has documented all of the locationless caches somewhere (I don't remember the link) but locationless caches are still not being approved until the new features are available for them. It still looks like we're on target for April or May.

Here is the link Jermey was refering to of the LC's in current status:

Some of them have been archieved. I keep trying to get whoever is tired of them to let me adopt theirs, but i found out after they have archived it and they can't be re-activated IAW current GC guidelines. Nice to see that the LC/virtual solution might be resolved by the end of spring!!!!!!!

WOW!! WOW WOW WOW!

 

Thank you, Tiki-4! That is exactly what I needed! I spent hours looking through the locationless caches and trying to bookmark them. Every time I tried to hit the "Back" button, it wouldn't remember the page and I'd get an error message, so I had to go back to page one. This was a life-saver. Thank you!

 

We hope the Reverse caches will be resumed again as expected. We find that in 6 inch snow, it can be hard to find many traditional caches, and this gets us outside and in search of things, sort of like a scavenger hunt. We've enjoyed the time we've spent doing these.

Note also that several methods for locationless cache searches are collected in this post in the Frequently Asked Questions thread that's pinned at the top of the "Getting Started" forum.

Thanks Keystone. I'll remember that when referencing a link but not posting it. So much to keep straight B)
