Thanks for the event Don, hope to see you down there. Are folks planning any new caches along the route?

Any discussion about changing the way hides are displayed for users. Why don't we display ACTIVE or NON-ARCHIVED hides in hide counts rather than total hides? There are a few reasons this makes sense: 1 - We want to encourage people to maintain active non-archived hides. This is an active hobby at the present moment. Counting archived hides does not reflect a user's current status. 2 - This encourages longevity and retention rather than placing and archiving caches. Since I have started geocaching, I am noticing new caches placed in the same spot as old caches so that people can log these caches again. The hiders get credit for both as does the finders. This kind of activity is encouraged by counting archived caches. I looked for earlier discussions but found none. Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts!

I think the idea is to just keep closing these threads by calling them duplicate issues - but nothing is being discussed about resolving this issue.

This is incorrect. The hide number do not reflect the total hides or active hides. This continues to be a serious bug.

I have a KML file of the route, but how to get this to a GPX file? And where should I post the file to share it? W
