Interesting - Wherigo is so "enjoyable" - yet there are so few of them - and we tend to not do them that easily as cachers!

Strange anomoly. I guess itis "fear of the unknown"?

Very interesting stat! I think Wherigos had plenty of potential but gc.com seems to have abandoned them a long time ago. There's no official Wherigo app and no promotion of that cache type at all. I haven't ever tried to make one but I think it takes considerable work to figure out how to do so .

I think they probably get so many favourite points cause they are unique cool adventures and not just another quick traditional :lol: .

Danie, I was wondering if it's possible to generate SA stats for the ongoing gc roadtrip to see how many of us have found the souvenirs? Is it possible to see, for instance, how many unique handle found it logs have been dated between June 19 and today for SA caches with 10 or more fps?

I'm curious to see our spread for the souvenirs - currently the global picture shows that a 10+ fps cache has been found by plenty more cachers and it seems like cachers prefer D5/T5 caches to socialising with fellow cachers at an event :blink: . The fps one is 343 868, event 47 271, D5/T5 48 788 & CITO/EC 24 542.

I would think it must be tricky but can you do it ?

The FP seem to be based on the (reverse) popularity of the cache types.

(Meaning the fewer of the cache type the more the FP count)

Another interesting set of stats from the provinces:

Favouritie Points awarded (per Province) - as of 14 July 2015:

#1 Western Cape 9859 (31.9% of total for SA)

#2 Gauteng 8326 (27.0%)

#3 KwaZulu Natal 4907 (15.9%)

#6 Free State 1484 (4.8%)

#7 North West 755 (2.5%)

#8 Limpopo 331 (1.1%)

#9 Northern Cape (324 (1.0%)

This one is interesting .. I would have thought that we in GP are the most number of cachers, and we find the most number of caches.

Meaning we have more FP to allocate.

Does this mean that the GP cachers cache a lot outside of GP?

I suspect the uniqueness plays a role. Wherigo's are rare and provide cachers with a very different experience, thus the tendency for cachers to be more likely to assign a FP. The whole experience plays a role, not just the cache location.

Been a while since I last perused this thread in detail so had to go back quite a few pages. Danie, your effort in this never ceases to amaze!

TONTELDOOS SERIES - Tusk O'2 and myself were the co-ordinators of this series a few years back. Unfortunately a number of the caches that formed the series have been archived or just fallen into "disrepair" by the respective CO's. That said, a number have survived and overall the quality of these caches was really good. My gut feel is that these caches are now just normal caches and the original objective of the series has served its time. In order to do all the caches in the series and collect the required information meant a road trip in the region of +6000km! However, any stats that can be generated would be interesting to look at.

The green line shows the total number of cachers who have found at least one South African cache during that year, the blue line is the number of new cachers during the year, and the orange line is the number of active cachers, where active means they have found at least 12 caches during the year.

Perhaps the active cachers are finding less because the fuel is costing more?

And just to digress a little on new cachers - My gut feel from seeing the logs that are written in my neck of the woods - there seem to be many more "one day" and "one week" wonders. They spring to life, and then disappear after finding the dozen or so caches close to home.

My 2c worth.....

There will always be a relationship between new cachers and "Long term" cachers, one cacher tells 5 others about geocaching, 4 of those finds 1 or two caches and the other becomes a "Long Term" cacher, and so forth. The graph actually confirms this.

Secondly the longer one caches, the more difficult it becomes, especially if you've cached for quite a while, then there are no new caches near your house and you have to drive further. The "Long Term" cachers are not all there for the thrill of quickly finding a cache, they are usually more thrilled by finding a quality cache, so lots of cheap quick caches removes the thrill and some "Long Term" finders stops caching because it just becomes to much of a burden to drive far and find a cheap cache... I do think the petrol price plays a role, but I think the quality of the game that we played deteriorated and therefor the "Long Term" cachers are not satisfied and finds some other game or hobby. In my opinion, a well known cacher in the Pretoria area: that used to be one of the greats: is a good example, he no longer caches but rather go on long walks and hikes.. a different but similar hobby. He finds his thrills elsewhere now...

Obviously, but which subgroup of cachers finds fewer now than before? All/most of us? And what changed?

I think that a lot of the active cachers find themselves in the same predicament that I do. I have found all the caches within a 80km radius of my home and yes, the price of petrol is a HUGE contributing factor for me. The only opportunity that I now get to cache is when I am traveling away from home. Another issue is the safety factor. As I cache alone I am loathe to get into the car for a caching "spree" in Gauteng for example. There is no way that I will tackle caches alone in Gauteng - period. When I do cache when I'm in Pretoria it is with much complaining from the other half about the constant stopping! I now have to wait to cache when I have a fellow cacher along for the ride.

I thought that when I moved back to SA on retirement that my figures would rise rapidly. How wrong was I? :blink: My "hides" figure has risen faster since returning!

Where are all the missing finds? (Part 3)

Very interesting answers. TechnoNut is closest to the right answer, but I'll hopefully get to the final answer tomorrow!

Let us first look at the most active cachers, the top 100:

RSA%20top%20100%20finds.jpg

These are the really active finders, with a median yearly rate of 444 finds.

One can draw a number of conclusions from this graph:

Before the middle of 2011 the number of yearly finds of the top 100 was probably limited by availability - as the number of caches grew, so did the total of the top finders.
Since the middle of 2011 the yearly total of the top finders was remarkably constant. I am guessing this is close to the maximum rate that will only be exceeded by a very select few who has the time, resources, motivation and energy.
Contrary to what some of us feel, lack of available caches close to home is not statistically significant any more. I think it is because most of the very active cachers are willing/able to drive longer distances. (The ever-growing number of caches helps a lot as well - the total for South Africa grew significantly more than even the top finder was able to find.)

My conclusion is that the top 100 finders (who are currently responsible for 33% of all the finds) are not part of the answer; they maintained their find rate.

RSA%201%20-%205%20finds.jpg

And lastly a graph showing the fraction of cachers who have found a single cache in a particular year:

RSA%201%20find.jpg

The last two graphs clearly show that the number of cachers who have found only a few caches used to be fairly stable around 51% (20% for single finds), but has risen to above 61% since 2013. This corresponds with the graph of the number of finds, which flattened off at the same time. (See my posting of 30 October.)

To summarize - the answer to why the increasing number of cachers did not lead to a corresponding increasing number of finds, is that more and more of the new cachers only find a few caches and then drop out. As to why this is so, one can only speculate. My theory is that it has a lot to do with many more people owning smartphones now - it is much easier to get started now. In the old days one needed a dedicated (expensive) GPS, which reduced the pool of potential cachers significantly. One would have been much less likely to casually try out caching in the old days; if you already owned a GPS it probably meant you were a techie (and more likely to enjoy it), and if you decided to buy a GPS, the investment probably helped to motivate you to make it worthwhile!

The high drop-out rate does not bother me a lot - I don't see them as "lost" cachers because of boring caches - they were never cachers in the true sense of the word, just curious muggles trying out something new which did not stick.

Perhaps this is an important note for us cachers and when we invite new cahcers.

1) We need to be inclusive at events etc. = I guess it's easy to only speak to the people we know and use language like FTF, muggle, and DNF together without the newbies knowing what's going on.

2) Perhaps we need to get these guys and take a few hours to show them the ropes and drive to a few caches you've done in the past and show them some of the fun ones in the area?

3) We need to follow up with those colleagues, friends & family that said they went caching this weekend - - help them with TB's, how to log a cache etc.

Maybe we need some more "Bring a Newbie" or Caching 1010 events again - those were popular a few years back.Perhaps 1 every six months?

Cachers gained/lost

For the first graph, I simply counted the number of South African cachers whose first/last finds happened during a particular year:

RSA%20cachers%20started%20and%20stopped.jpg

The next graph is the difference between the numbers gained and lost during a particular year:

RSA%20cachers%20gained.jpg

Note: The number that stopped in 2014 is probably higher than it should be - one can not with certainty say that somebody who last cached in December 2014 has really stopped. (This is true even for the 13 cachers whose last finds are currently in 2001.)

Danie, I was wondering if it's possible to generate SA stats for the ongoing gc roadtrip to see how many of us have found the souvenirs? Is it possible to see, for instance, how many unique handle found it logs have been dated between June 19 and today for SA caches with 10 or more fps?

Road Trip '15 (Part 1)

The first souvenir was for finding a cache with 10 or more FPs, between 19 June 2015 and 2 September 2015.

On 19 June there were 1965 caches in Africa with 10 or more FPs, and 733 in South Africa.

For the whole of Africa, 4245 cachers qualified for the souvenir. (1000 in South Africa)

Road Trip '15: Souvenir 2

The second souvenir was for attending an Event or a Mega Event between 3 July and 2 September 2015.

There were 64 qualifying events in Africa during this period. (38 in South Africa.)

For the whole of Africa, 350 cachers qualified for the souvenir. (224 in South Africa.)

(258 cachers qualified for the first two souvenirs.)

Road Trip '15: Souvenir 3

The third souvenir was for finding a cache with Terrain rating = 5 or Difficulty rating = 5, between 17 July and 2 September 2015.

There were 437 qualifying caches in Africa. (232 in South Africa.)

In the whole of Africa, 468 cachers qualified for this souvenir. (211 in South Africa.)

(189 cachers qualified for all of the first three souvenirs.)
