+Coldgears Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 http://www.google.com/trends?q=geocaching You can see from the chart how not just the popularity of geocaching is rising every year! But, at the same time the amount of news on the subject is rising. Geocaching isn't as popular here as it is in other countries. Funnily, the city with the most amount of search queries for geocaching is actually Prague, Czech Republic. There is even more information if you visit the link. Just wanted to let you guys see this. ~ coldgears Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Yeah, but how does it compare to bacon? Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I love bacon Don't put bacon in your geocaches though... that could be bad. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Funnily, the city with the most amount of search queries for geocaching is actually Prague, Czech Republic. Do the reported "facts" distinguish between human and automated activity? Quote Link to comment
+chasclifton Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 We need a federal government program to close the Geocache Gap with the Czech Republic. Do we want the USA to be a third-rate geocaching power? I think not. Quote Link to comment
+Pax42 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I wonder how much bacon they eat in Prague? Quote Link to comment

I think not. This is a good reason to open the NPS to caching. I trust Jeremy will raise it during his next meeting with the President. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yeah, but how does it compare to bacon? "Your terms - geocaching bacon - do not have enough search volume to show graphs." Quote Link to comment
+pamlicojack Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) If I was to carry bacon to a cache, it wouldn't make it there, even if it was a PnG... Edited May 16, 2010 by pamlicojack Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 This is a good reason to open the NPS to caching. I trust Jeremy will raise it during his next meeting with the President. Do they serve bacon at such meetings? Quote Link to comment

Do the reported "facts" distinguish between human and automated activity? Actually no I don't believe google does that. To be honest though; why would anyone use an automated program to search for "geocaching"? Quote Link to comment
+brslk Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Darn you BD! This is about the 3rd time you have made me cook Bacon at 2:00 AM! Quote Link to comment
+redsox_mark Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 From my own experience (having spent a lot of time there), Geocaching is very popular in Prague (and the rest of the Czech Republic). And most of it is by Czech nationals, not foreign tourists. It is typical for a cache to be logged multiple times each day, many caches with thousands of finds. And yes, they like bacon too; in fact pork in general is popular. My favourite is the Chicken Schnitzel though. Quote Link to comment
+FancoverFive Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 http://www.google.com/trends?q=geocaching%...=all&sort=0 Bacon does appear to be more popular than geocaching. Quote Link to comment

+Vater_Araignee Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 http://www.google.com/trends?q=geocaching%...=all&sort=0 Bacon does appear to be more popular than geocaching. Not in Czech Republic or Germany. I find it odd that Hungary is more interested in caching too, one would think with a name like that... Quote Link to comment
+breaultm Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 http://www.google.com/trends?q=geocaching%...=all&sort=0 Bacon does appear to be more popular than geocaching. Indeed it is, but notice how both follow a similar "trending" growth? Quote Link to comment
+Gamaliel Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Does anyone remember Googlewhacking? It was a short-lived hobby in the early 2000s. The idea was to search for a pair of words which would only retrieve a single hit. Unfortunately, "geocaching bacon" returns 718,000 hits, of which this thread is number three. Quote Link to comment

+DENelson83 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yeah, but how does it compare to bacon? Well, I compared the two on that same site, and it appears that bacon is far more popular than geocaching in Seattle. Quote Link to comment
