  1. Attribute search<\/strong>

    1. Searchable D\/T grid<\/strong>
      Maybe you\u2019re up for a challenge and want to find a cache with a difficulty and terrain rating of 5\/5 or maybe you are looking for a more zen cache outing and don\u2019t want to search for anything beyond 1.5. Either way, the       searchable D\/T grid<\/a> on Geocaching.com is your friend. With this tool, you can quickly find caches in your area that meet your desired difficulty and terrain ratings. Cachers can find the grid on their Statistics page<\/a>. Simply click any square on the grid to create a search that shows caches in your area with the specific D\/T rating selected.

    2. Lists<\/strong>
      As you search for caches suited to your caching goals, make sure to add them to       Lists<\/a> so you can group them and keep track of them. Once you have your search results, click on the plus (+) symbol in the listing for a cache you want to add to a List. Clicking this symbol opens a menu and from there you can add the cache to an existing list or create a new list and include the cache in it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
