I would expect caches to be hidden near all crew hotels. There are over 1 million caches world wide. Software has gotten a lot better. I download caches to my GPS based on location, difficulty, type ,etc.

One part of the "game" has what's called "travel bugs". We just recently placed 6 of these in Vegas with the goal of racing to Atlantic city, and then other gambling mecca's. We also released a bug from South Carolina that is now in Germany.

We were able to cache in 5 states (over 1000 miles) in one day in the Mooney.

It's quite addictive.
