+Toby's Gang Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 With all these cachiveraries and milestones, we should have a big party with lots of beer and cake and ice cream and beer Quote
+fisnjack Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 A BIG CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE CACHEVERSARY MIRAGEE,i WONDER HOW MANY OTHER FOLKS CAN SAY THEY GOT 1000 CACHES THE FIRST YEAR. Quote
+Miragee Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks everyone. I never could have found that many if it hadn't been for Princess Toadstool -- woman on a mission -- and her willingness to have me join her on her caching adventures every week. My goal when I started caching was "a cache a day," so I would have maybe found 365 by today if I hadn't met P.T. at the "Paperless Event." Thanks again to this wonderful community for literally changing my life! Quote
+Let's Look Over Thayer Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 i WONDER HOW MANY OTHER FOLKS CAN SAY THEY GOT 1000 CACHES THE FIRST YEAR. I can't say it yet...but I'm close (need to find 83 more in the next 2 1/2 months...) It's definitely something in which the pioneers were at a disadvantage. It really helps to have ~200 caches within a five mile radius of your house and ~700 within 10 miles. Quote
vagabond Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 [it's definitely something in which the pioneers were at a disadvantage. It really helps to have ~200 caches within a five mile radius of your house and ~700 within 10 miles. I probably did less then 180 in my first year of caching. Since I picked up my magellan explorist 500 in july of 2005 Iv'e logged well over 800 caches, quite a difference. I think my first double digit day I did 17 starting at daylight and ending up around 5:30pm and that was with a 7 year old Grandson and he still wanted to do more but it was a long drive from Orange county to El Cajon and the next day was a school day.

+Troviamo Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Congrats to everyone and also to Snake & Rooster hitting #800 today. Seems like it was a week or so ago they hit 700! Quote

+TrailGators Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 i WONDER HOW MANY OTHER FOLKS CAN SAY THEY GOT 1000 CACHES THE FIRST YEAR. I can't say it yet...but I'm close (need to find 83 more in the next 2 1/2 months...) It's definitely something in which the pioneers were at a disadvantage. It really helps to have ~200 caches within a five mile radius of your house and ~700 within 10 miles. This is very true. We used to go out and find 2-5 caches in a typical day only 3 years ago. I remember seeing some people brag in their logs about getting 12 caches in a day. That was very tough to do then. Rocketman and I eventually hit 12 just under 2 years ago. Now 12 in a day is commonplace. Anyhow, it really boils down to what type of caches you enjoy doing. If you prefer urbans you will get a lot more :)s. If you prefer hiking caches then you will get less :)s. Most of us do a combo of both. I myself prefer the hiking ones. I love the scenery and the critters! Quote
+Miragee Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 O.T. sort of . . . for those of you who like wonderful hikes, I would like to recommend SMOKEY's cache, "Ghost Corral which takes you by "Valley Pillar via Quail Oasis" and leads to "cAMMO Can. That area is absolutely beautiful . . . especially at this time of the year when it isn't too hot. For a new cacher, SMOKEY has sure done a really great job placing caches in neat areas. OK . . . back to your regularly-scheduled program . . . Quote
