Cache A Day FAQ section?

[+Ratbas]

Hiya,

I've head the expression "Cache A Day" a few times. Seems like it should be simple to understand, but I think I've heard it used different ways. Haven't had any luck finding more info. Any directions? Thanks.

In our area, there is someone who is putting out a cache-a-day. So we get a new cache each day.

In our area, it usually refers to someone finding their cache for the day. These people are usually trying to keep some kind of streak going for personal reasons or to accomplish a challenge cache.

we got a whole series in Ontario dedicated to each month,the GHMGC A Cache A Day series, but you don't have to do it in one year only, finds from previous years count to complete one particular month

I think about caching every day. Does that count?

[+StarBrand]

I know some cachers have found at least 1 cache per day for going on 5 or more years.

 

Hiding 1 new cache per day - hmmmmmmm not sure abut that......

Being a newbie, I kept a streak going for a while. But it got to be pretty boring.

 

I'd find a lame LPC in a WalMart parking lot. Then, instead of going across the street to the Home Depot parking lot while I was there, I'd wait and go back the next day.

 

Then one day it was raining buckets, and I realized that trying to keep the streak going wasn't fun. So I stopped.

Some people seem to use it as an average (which I can see as a reasonable goal ) and some people seem really fixated on dates. I think I'll go for the average. I'm up to about Groundhog's Day right now.

Looks like people are trying to mark off every calendar day, but not necessarily in the same calendar year. Sound about right?

[+Scubasonic]

My current streak is at 599 days and after about the 200 day I just can't give it up with the thought of having to start all over again, so I will keep it rolling as long as I can.

My girlfriend, also an avid geocacher, challenged me to a cache-a-day challenge back in November. We're both verrrry competitive, and both of us want to win very badly for bragging rights...

 

Well, we're still on, today was day 86, and let me tell you, finding one EVERY day is HARD.

How do you keep the streak going when there's no way of getting a signal do to say, a weeks worth of thick clouds like eastern Mass had last week? Do you just pick out lamp posts by Google maps?

Actually, clouds don't affect GPS reception. That's an urban myth. The signal goes right through them!

[+Ratbas]

That myth felt pretty true when I couldn't get a signal until the clouds cleared away a bit.
