Hey everyone,
Trying to get myself involved in the community again.
Here's a GPS Exchange (GPX) file with every geocache in the Great Lake area (centered at Chicago, IL. then spanning out 500 miles circular) that has the "Near Abandoned Structure" tag.
https://dl.dropbox...55032/14674601.gpx
I would not simply throw this in your GPS then head out hoping to find a good site; but it's pretty useful to throw into Google Earth then scout out a few spots.
I'll be happy to generate GPXs for other areas, just ask!

Makes sense.
All the treasure are belong to me. We got a slat, for that! |

Can you please explain how you did that? I used Google maps online version, but could not replicate your results. This looks like a nice tool, if I just knew how to use it.

If you're taking requests, would you mind generating one centered on Baltimore, MD?
Cool tool, thanks for sharing it!

What issue are you guys having? It was easy to open and use the file in google earth.

Have you ever said, "I wonder whats in there." |

I don't want to use the above file. I'd like to create my own of different search area.

If you dont mind would you create one centered around the Cleveland area and spans out 500 miles or so circular

Great Idea! It would be awesome if you would author a nice tutorial with step-by-step instructions and screen captures outlining the process. There seems to be a lot of interest in your system.
Post it in the tutorials section:

Thanks again!

Where does the "near abandoned structure tag" originate? Is that something that you've created, or is that from geocaching.com or something? Having recently gotten back into caching, this is fantastic.

I second that! Baltimore!
pictures and stuff |

As requested, I made a tutorial for using GPX files in Earth.
I've got queries lined up for Baltimore, Cleveland, and Rosemont.
I'll post those as soon as they're done
Edit: They're done!
Baltimore
Cleveland
Rosemont
Don't forget that these all span 500 miles out, so one just near you will probably cover most of your area.

That tag comes from geocaching.com, it's one of that attributes that the cache creator can set.

Are these ones strictly the 'Abandoned Structure' tagged ones?

Sorry about that, I can't edit that post, but this post has ones that were generated only a few hours ago, so it's more up to date.
