It's funny. I clicked on the 2 links above, and they already each have 3 blue "favorites" votes on their page.
Now that picking one favorite for every ten finds is in place, I can quickly share my experience with it.
I've gone caching a total of 6 or 7 times, and have found just under 20 caches. There are two that stand out as my favorites. When I went to favorite them, I realized I had to write log entries for several of the caches I found but didn't bother logging (a tupperware under a tree, a magnetic box stuck to a guard rail).
In the end, I was still one shy of being able to add two favorites, so I gave my vote to The END, and made a point to go find one more cache so that I could give another favorite vote to My High School Hangout.
Today, I swung by a parking lot and instantly found a magnetic hide-a-key stuck to a sign. When I logged it tonight, I noticed two things:
1. Someone had already given a second favorite vote to The END, and
2. someone had already given a favorite vote to My High School Hangout.
For a moment, I seriously considered whether there was some other cache I had visited that needed my vote more than My High School Hangout. After all, it now had a blue "favorite" ribbon already, and I'm sure it's good enough that it'll get more.
I quickly decided that there was no runner-up. I couldn't think of a third cache that I've found that I need to call to the world's attention as a favorite.
This is good. I don't go out hunting very often, and it will be a while before I have 10 more finds. In fact, my tastes are getting more particular. I might not even bother with a cache unless at least one log says "awesome camo" or "awesome view." So, when I post my next favorite, you can be pretty sure it'll be the best of 10 somewhat carefully selected caches.
That's my 25 cents worth.
