Ride the Underground Railroad

Locationless caches and the language of location. The end of locationless geocaches was a sad but necessary part of the game’s evolution. They were brought into the game at a time when there were few physical geocaches. And they brought some fun elements. Ride the Underground Railroad still stands out to this day as an example of why many of us loved them. Who would have thought there was a station near where I lived? Would I have known if researching for the locationless didn’t bring me to it?
This is an automated archive made by the Lemmit Bot.

I recently saw something that could have been a locationless back in the day and decided to post a few thoughts about the days before the caches were archived. They were not like the ones that are occasionally released today. Nor were they like the waymarks that replaced them.

Some hated them but the last few days before they were archived were some of the best times I’ve had in the game. I still am sorry that I never found that yellow Jeep.

They would have been totally impractical if they had remained in the game. But still . . .with a nod to my personal favorite . . . Ride the Underground Railroad: Locationless Caches and the Language of Location.
