Is There A Spike In New Cachers

[+Mile Runner]

i dont know if this is true or not, but i would belive that the rate of new cachers spikes right after the holiday season. Does anyone know if this is true or not.

 

thanks

I'm new around the holiday season. I really hope I can keep up with it.. I'm bad about taking up hobbies then dropping them.. But I like gadgets so much, I think I'll be around a while. Going probably some time tomorrow to find my first 2 caches... (or at least try)

There certainly was a spike in new cachers and hides by them in my area last year after Christmas. Some of them remained active in caching, most did not.

I'm not a new cacher, but I put a new cache out today.

Yes, there is usually a spike after the holidays.

I'm one of those noobs that shows up right after Christmas. My son and I both got Garmins from "Santa", he a Legend and me a Legend C. We investigated geocaching.com, became instantly hooked after finding some caches in Eugene, OR and on the OR coast. I had no freakin' idea this sport existed, but it is the best way I can think of to combine my love of technology and the outdoors. I plan to continue caching, and am already practicing CITO as I always have on hikes. So I sure hope all of you experienced cachers welcome us into your world, 'cause here we are.

 

So stoked I cannot contain my enthusiasm...and yes, it will stick.

Count me in as a noobie. I had been aware of Geocaching and even run across some cachers while hiking. Never got aq good e4xposure to it and generally my free time was spent mountain biking or whitewater paddling. Santa graced me with an entry-level GPS and it has really added a nice dimension to our outdoor hikes/walks. I think it will be something (solo and family) that is continued as an added dimension to our camping and other outdoor fun.

Stay Safe,
