rusty0101 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Looks like we crossed 7000 benchmarks found in the past day or two, so we are under 3000 benchmarks to find before we go over 10,000 benchmarks. Will we do that... Quote Link to comment
+rogbarn Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 This is certainly a notable goal!! Don't slow down now!!! I got the ol' spreadsheet out with my benchmarking statistics and this is what it said: October 26, 2002 is when the geocaching community will have found 10,000 benchmarks. Of course, the future is a little fuzzy. Will the rest of the benchmark hunters kept up with my furious pace (3 found in the last two weeks, in other words, not very furious)? Will nice fall weather spur on geocachers to find even more than usual? But, my answer is on the table for all to see and I'm sure someone will check back in a month or so to tell me if I'm on target or not..... Quote Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I just checked the benchmarking page and there are only 28 benchmarks left to find before we've reached 1 percent!! We should be able fo finish that by late today. One out of a hundred seems very impressive. Quote Link to comment
Cracker. Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I've got about a dozen very close to me that I hope to hit in the next week or so.... I've been noticing that between 100-150 are being logged every day! Art Proud member of YankeeToys www.yankeetoys.org http://www.ttora-ne.mainpage.net/ Quote Link to comment

rusty0101 Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 We should bump past 9000 tomorrow (pst) though it might even be tonight unless the stats page is updated only daily and has happened already. The current count is two away as I draft this. Looks like the Octobers will have it, unless we loose a significant number of northern finders due to weather in the next two weeks. It's difficult enough trying to find these things in good weather, with leaves, brush and whatnot growing over them. Some of us are going to have to start contending with varying depths of snow in the montsh to come. -Rusty Quote Link to comment
+raouljan Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I just logged #8999 >Personally Responsible for the Recovery of .00217% of the Benchmark Database!<--watch this number! Quote Link to comment
+rogbarn Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 quote:Originally posted by RogBarn:October 26, 2002 is when the geocaching community will have found 10,000 benchmarks. I proudly point to my prediction, earlier in this thread, from over a month ago. Since I check the counts in the morning, I consider this prediction to be 100% accurate since this morning is the first time I have recorded a number over 10,000. Now, if only I can get back out there and find some more for myself!! Quote Link to comment
rusty0101 Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 if you look at the other thread, found here..., you might note that I posted... posted October 25, 2002 09:05 PM October 25, 2002 09:05 PM It be broken... So, it did happen on the 25th. Though for people on the East coast that posting happened at 5 min after midnight, so they can claim that you are right as well. That's the problem with time zones. there are always two days involved... -Rusty Quote Link to comment
