Default Newbie questions

So, I just started geocaching a couple of days ago and love it. Is there a way to find off-road caches easily? I upgraded to the premium membership on geocache . com and need to figure out how I find where off-road caches are. I'd like to do some while mountain biking too, I just don't know how to search for specific cache types. Any advice?

I am interested in the answer in the question also. I would love to be able to search just for caches that i would have to use the jeep to get to.

Heres the best way I've found...

On the search page (geocaching.com) put in your zip code

Then at the top where it says "all caches" click map

Then just pan around the map looking for caches that are off road.

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Run a "Pocket Query" . On your profile page find "creat a pocket query. Click and fill in blanks. When you reach the section for "add atributes" click on the icons you want. For an off road vehicle the icon looks like a "Jeep". Other attributes you may want to include is bicycles, motorcycles, and quads.

I find this to be the easiest way to find off road caches.

Thanks! That is much better. I knew there had to be a way to do it.

Also, the website is geocaching.com (not geocache.com).
