The family in question may well have caused geocaching to change the rules for the "top 10" and I have no real problem with that. I waited to see the new top 10 and as I feared the new version is USA centred - the games of keeping a travel bug in a particular area is just as unreasonable as the single person travel bug - the rest of the world does not have the concentration of caches. Having been critical why not try a combination of both ideas ie a minimum no of users coupled with total distance travelled?
(An alterantive would be, say, no 2 consecutive legs can be taken with the same geocacher)
I am oipen to be shot at!!!!!!!
