      I’m a little confused about something. I was looking at the current Cache of the month nominees and wanted to see if any were close to me. So since the actual cache number wasn’t listed I searched for them on GC.com. I couldn’t for the life of me find any of them. 🙄

      Now CotM is for Wisconsin only cahes right?

      Am I just blind and missing something here?

      Can someone please tell me where to find them if they are in Wisconsin?

      Thanks

          Thanks!

          How did you find them or did you already know them? I search on GC for the title but came up empty.

          I’m sure its very simple and I’m just being stupid lol

            You are RIGHT … that the cache names are showing by they are not currently “linked” … I think some WGA human has to do that, and has not gotten to it yet.

            BUT in the mean time … look in the left hand column of the WGA website … on the page you are currently viewing, in fact … way at the bottom is a box titled “Geocaching.com Search” … type the text name of the cache in there (such as: CSI > Espionage Investigation )

              Ok yes that search works well. I used the one on the homepage of GC.com and that one doesn’t find anything for some reason.

                Ron is right, normally these COTM nominee names are linked to the cache page, but this is a manual process. I should probably make a change to allow the links to be automatically set up if a GC code is provided when a cache is nominated.

                The search on the geocaching.com home page is a Google search of the gc.com site and is pretty much useless for finding caches. You are better off using the Keyword search on the Hide & Seek A Cache page. Or the geocaching.com search on the WGA site is great because it is “smart” about what type of search you are doing… it will take keywords, waypoint codes, zip codes, the names of cities, etc.

                  And the WGA search is “smart” because we have a very “smart” webmaster and WGA Secretary. Thank You, Jeremy!!
