+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi... I have an idea for a locationless cache, but would like to make sure one like it doesn't already exist. Is there a means for seeking current locationless caches by keyword? Thanks! Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) As far as I know, this site is currently not listing any new Locationless caches. Click here for more info. I am not aware of any way to do a keyword search on Locationless caches by keyword, but I'd be interested if somebody else knows of a way ...

+sbell111 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 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. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 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. Link to comment

+tiki-4 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Here is the link Jermey was refering to of the LC's in current status: http://home.comcast.net/~geocacherbb/Locationless.html 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!!!!!!! Link to comment
+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Here is the link Jermey was refering to of the LC's in current status: 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. Link to comment

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