After spotting a rattlesnake this afternoon . . . in fact, after nearly stepping on a rattlesnake . . . I'm rethinking my dislike for urban micros myself . . . Would you be cautious about snakes in an area that looks like this? That is near my "Evidence from a Bygone Era" cache. I wanted to take some pictures of the things I write about in the "story" and sure wasn't thinking about rattlesnakes in all that green grass. Everybody be careful out there . . . Quote

Squad meetup is at 9am at the dirt parking lot on the corner of Father Junipero Serra Trl and Bushy Hill Dr. There is no cache in that immediate area yet.... Still don't know which area we will assault from there. Southwest Forum, Santee, California - Roland Hedley here reporting on the 2006 MTRP Cache War. The engagement has entered a second phase with additional units coming in late this week to bolster the right-thinking Allied Forces. General Cegrubue Marx has reached a point of desperation as evidenced by his resort to weapons banned by the Geneva Convention such as multi-caches and puzzles. [A careful observer will note that the puzzle-cache question-mark graphic resembles a mushroom cloud.] Furthermore the faltering general has taken to the highlands as a last resort and is holing up along the MTRP ridgeline like a rasty ol' mountain goat. More at eleven. Edited April 15, 2006 by SD Rowdies Quote

+TFTC Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 We must be setting some records here (maybe thanks to the MTRP wars). I've had to add a 7th PQ to get all the caches in San Diego within a 70 mile radius of the mexican border (see the green center point below): Since I filter each PQ by date placed, I can see some interesting statistics (ignoring archived caches): 1/1/2000 - 8/24/2003, 500 caches placed in 1331 days 8/25/2003 - 8/31/2004, 500 caches placed in 372 days 9/1/2004 - 4/28/2005, 500 caches placed in 239 days 4/29/2005 - 9/17/2005, 500 caches placed in 141 days 9/17/2005 - 1/24/2006, 500 caches placed in 129 days 1/25/2006 - 4/18/2006, 500 caches placed in 83 days 4/19/2006 - now, 12 caches placed 500 new caches every 3 months?

Can the SDCET keep up?!? It's worse than that...!!!! I didn't do the mathematical curve fitting (perhaps that's an exercise for the reader) but just eyeballing the trend (assuming that it will continue to asymptotically approach 500 caches per 0 days...) it looks something like: Intervals per 500 caches: 60 days 49 days 40 days 33 days (500 caches per month!!!!) 25 days 20 days 18 days....

Can the SDCET keep up?!? That is interesting TFTC! There were only 500 caches in the area after I had been caching for over 8 months. Now there are over 3500! Wow!
