Opencaching.us

Opencaching.us went live August 18th. It is a new alternative to Groundspeak's Geocaching.com site for the creation, listing and seeking of geocaches. Opencaching sites have existed in many European countries for quite some time now and seem to be doing fairly well.
The main draw for opencaching.us is that all features are free to all members. This includes favorites(bookmarks), custom searches (pocket queries), search by type, notifications, etc... And if you are a fan of virtual caches, they are an option on oc.us too Very Happy

Stop by and check it out. While you're there, check out the forums and say hi!

Closest one to us is a virtual cache 90 minutes away on the Falling Waters Trail.

Actually Falling Waters Park, just north of the trail and cheech honors are still available on that one. Of course there is another slightly north of it that still has a FTF available.

Even if you do not plan to use Opencaching.us, you may still want to consider protecting your cacher name by registering there!

Good advice. I registered, may try it, but I don't think it will fly. How many other sites are there? Is Navacache still around?

I tried to register but it said my name was invalid.

kinda makes you feel insignificant, no? Laughing

I just tried again and the exact response I'm getting is even stranger. It says "Username is Incorrect". Now I feel even smaller.

I just got a confirmation email that said my name is BEARCLAWS. I guess this is my valid name, it's so nice to know. I haven't confirmed it yet but it's awful tempting just to get the free oven mitt.
