I want to run a PQ to find the 100 or so oldest caches in the US. But when I go to click on "Country" our very own country is not included in the list. What gives?? Why not, or did I miss something? Most of the other countries of the world are in the list, but the USA is not. ???????

It has been that way for years. I don't anticipate any change soon. Poke around a bit, there are bookmarks available.

You can also highlight each state individually when building a PQ. I did that to keep track of caches in the USA with the most favorite points.

Under the within box, check state. Then hold down control as you click on all 50 states, and DC.
Select a date range to encompass all of 2000.

Not sure if my linl will work but it netted me 91 results.

You learn something every day.

I had fun last night creating silly PQs encompassing countries such as the Falklands, Iceland, att the 'stans, etc.

I knew about being able to select multiple states. There are several other countries (Canada, Austrailia, etc.) where you have to select multiple states/provinces to cover the entire country. What I didn't know was that you could fill out the PQ form, and the post it as a URL so that others could open it up and save it in their own list of pocket queries. It seems that could be a good way for someone that is getting unexpected results from a PQ to post exactly what criteria they used.

That did lead me to wonder what someone else would see if I posted a PQ URL and specified "My Home Location" for the orign. If someone else opens up the query will it use *my* home location or whoever has opened and saved it. For example, here is URL for the 30 closest webcams to my home location:

Could someone try it see what the results are?

I clicked on your link, created the pocket query, then previewed it. It appears to be centered, more or less, on MY home location in central Ohio.

I don't appreciate you using MY home location for your experiment.
