+decline2state Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hello! Do any of you know where I can find stats on caching in the PNW? For example #: cachers, hides, finds, events, etc? I wonder if I can contact Groundspeak... Thanks Quote Link to comment

I wonder if I can contact Groundspeak... Thanks You might start with Cacherstats: http://www.cacherstats.com/LocationIndex.html It has finds by cacher. Hides and Events might be harder and may involve just a search of individual profiles. Another resource would be It's Not About the Numbers: http://www.itsnotaboutthenumbers.com/ Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Bear in mind the numbers are subjective. Not everybody subscribes to either. Quote Link to comment

For It's Not About the Numbers, that's a true statement. However, the Cacherstats site is independent and pulls the numbers from peoples profiles somehow. Quote Link to comment

However, the Cacherstats site is independent and pulls the numbers from peoples profiles somehow. Actually it is a select number of caches. The logs are down loaded and the cacher/counts are extracted from that information. First question on the FAQ on the top level page. For the list of selected caches there is a link near the top of the top level page. Jim Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You might start with Cacherstats: http://www.cacherstats.com/LocationIndex.html That's handy! For rank as far as how long a cacher has been around you can either mouse over their cacher name or right click on it and select properties to see where they fall in order of joining. ie. I am #4497.

I'm not seeing that. The only thing in properties I see from the cacher name is a link to the person's geocaching.com profile. Quote Link to comment

But mouse-over works fine, and I see the info in the bottom status bar, now that they clarified where to look. I'm 94792. Thanks, folks! Edited September 16, 2008 by hydnsek Quote Link to comment

One other thing about this UserID, if you use GSAK that number is what you enter to let GSAK know which caches are the ones you own. It's more accurate than using your geo-name. Quote Link to comment
