Just got my 7th Continent and 80th country. 2023 was a good year.

Found a virtual in Antarctica

I completed 3 of my goals for 2023. Found a cache in all Australian states and territories. Visited all of the wonders of the modern world. And found a cache on all 7 continents. Country count is up to 80. Still thinking of 2024 goals.

Ireland still doesn't have a country souvenir, but we all know that story. Only country of my 79 cached that I don't have.

Update to this thread, just completed the 7 wonders +1

I am still missing a couple.

I wish they had a setting so I would never see that blue banner again.

Yea that was a strange event. https://coord.info/GC6XNRF

Liechtenstein will be my next new country (my 72nd) I will visit in June, This was the cache recommended to me https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6W3JC However we have a tight driving schedule that day so will only take a slight detour over the Rhine River to fill in the country.

Now that Clyde isn't supporting it will that mean that the first major change or even a minor one that Groundspeak might make somewhere will make GSAK useless ?

If you use the correct GSAK macro you don't lose anything except field notes, which I find useless. much quicker to jot a note in small log book that I keep with my GPSr.

For that many it would be best to use garmin POIs. Check the GSAK forums on how to do that.

It's been another average year for me with new countries. I finally found a cache in New Zealand in January of this year. Nothing else till September and I got Romania and Bulgaria under my belt. Took s short trip to Costa Rica in October and my last one will be an earthcache in Tanzania in a couple weeks. Which will be my 68th country.

Local SIM cards are so cheap in most places. It is the first thing I do when I arrive in a new country. Right after I get my luggage. Local SIM cards are also beneficial in using UBER.

Just noticed all the extra info one person seems to put on their finds. ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺I have been caching since July 2012, a bit of a stat man so here you goInstagram for ******: Geocaching******This is Cache Number: 6051Most Countries in a Day 9Highest Elevation GC18Z99 Hawaii, 3043mChurch Micros 352 - ArchdeaconSidetracked 76 - Sidetracked EngineerLongest Caching Streak days Number: 380First To Finds Number:: 190Months in a row with a FTF: 30Best caching Day: 168 Most Icons In One Day 10Grid Box Fill Loop 5 76/81☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺Travel Bugs Found: 965Geocoins Found:1973Trackables Owned: 47☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

My sister and I went to an event once. We were the only ones who showed up, the cache owner never got there.

I also foresee the day when they get rid of Pocket Queries all together.

I've had 2 pop out on my 62s in the field. Hence why I have it taped in now. If you lose your pre loaded micro chip Garmin will not replace it. You also need to watch when removing the batteries + side first it can pull out and break the contact.

Make sure you tape that SD card in there. Those SD cards can and will pop out when you change the batteries.

And the #1 thing when you opt out that I hate.

I don't know how many times I've seen "FTF More later"
