When I am planning a road trip, I, like most folks, make a list of all (or most, in the case of somewhere cache rich) of the caches in a county on Geocaching. When I am done with the process, I have a list of lists (how meta!) that have utility beyond just the cache choosing opportunity. Not only do they make it reasonable to download offline lists to Cachly but they make it easier to add caches I’ve found to my state completion lists. Yes, I do have a list for each state I’ve visited, listing a county from each county I’ve been to therein. Add that I also have other lists for other things (challenges I need to sign, proof of completion of other challenges, caches I want to go get some day, etc.) and there’s something you’ll probably notice. I need more lists! Geocaching only allows 100 lists! I’ve cached in forty states and I’ve got lots of other irons in the fire, so I’m hella short on lists to use for new counties for my upcoming trip. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand why we’re restricted to 100 lists. Having more would require a lot more server space and storage on Geocaching‘s part and I also have no doubt that I’m a bit of an outlier when it comes to the number of lists required. But it sure would be nice to have an extra list option. I’m not going to lie: I’ve considered the idea of creating a second account for extra lists and general bookkeeping purposes, but I’m pretty sure that contravenes a rule somewhere unless there’s a good reason for the extra account. So I guess that my only real option (other than the more difficult-to-use lists of Project-GC [which, admittedly, is how I compile the lists in the first place]) is perhaps to beg for spare lists?
Hey, Groundspeak! Can I borrow some extra lists? Maybe a hundred for a couple of months or so? I’ll idolize you forever (or at least until the end of 2026)!
Oh, well… I beg much better in person (I’m not proud), and it’s hard to make such a personal appeal from 1700+ miles away. I guess I’ll figure something else out.
