'Series' or routes?

[mlblackbull]

Hi. New to geocaching and have read about 'series' for hunting. Where do I find these series or routes with multiple caches. Ie a route for the family to find various caches in one day. Any help greatly appreciated! :-)

You can simply look at the cache map of your area. The power trails tend to stand out.

OP said they wanted to find "various" caches....that kind of rules out power trails 😋

Power trails are good for doing the same thing over, and over. They're caches, and they're easy. But they are tedious and un-imaginative. You can just look on the map and plan your routes- all different caches, by different owners. It could be just pick a cache to start, and keep going to the closest one, or you could plan it so you go right by a place for lunch, and end up near home.

Come one now! They are always on different fence posts. Different is variety

Old-school power trails can be great for finding "various caches in one day". There's one near here that the county parks department uses for its geocaching classes. New geocachers get a brief chalk talk at the trailhead, then set off with a loaner GPS receiver and an experience geocacher as a guide. The beginners can find 8-10 caches featuring a variety of sizes, containers, and styles, and make it back to the trailhead in time for lunch.

 

New-school power trails (which I call numbers run trails) like the ET Highway trail are indeed great for repetitively finding many many many identical fungible containers.

 

Anyway, for the OP, check the geocaching map. Around here, there are a lot of parks and open spaces with lots of geocaches along the trails. It's easy enough to pick a trail that has a lot of geocaches along it, and then search for geocaches as you hike along that trail.
