+Ltljon 3 Posted May 7, 2017 Cool, thanks for the info. I found it interesting (and kinda proud) that I'm in an elite group of 400 or so Charter Members. I woulda never guessed the number would have been that small. I remember thinking way back then that as much fun as this game provided I would always (hopefully be able to) donate that small sum to keep it going for as long as I could, whether active or not. So far so good... Quote Share this post Link to post

I've updated my list of charter member hides. Any updates to this information? Going through the list of caches, I noticed we have 9 active 3 digit cache hides still active and thought that was kinda cool. Quote Share this post Link to post

I'm working on a challenge to find 50 charter member caches and a few short. https://coord.info/GC55XP0 Got to love grandfathered challenges! Quote Share this post Link to post

Looks like bigcall had a public bookmark list. https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BM2DVKX?sort=name&sortOrder=asc&skip=0&take=500 From there you can find other caches owner by them.

+bigcall 1 Posted March 10, 2020 I'll update my bookmark list to reflect the changes. It's only a single selected cache per Charter Member, but hopefully it fulfills the purpose 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
+bigcall 1 Posted March 11, 2020 I just finished updating the bookmark list - it was a semi-painful process, but I believe it matches up with Moun10Bike's spreadsheet now: https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BM2DVKX?sort=name&sortOrder=asc&skip=0&take=500 There were quite a number of changes, mostly subtractions as noted, but several additions as well. I left off Geocaching HQ and for some reason could not add CherokeeThree (I think it's due to their having only 3 archived event caches to choose from?) I checked a couple of the Project-GC checkers and they appear to be in need of an update now as well as fizzymagic's GSAK macros. I'm not sure how to get the ball rolling on those...

+medicineman 0 Posted May 18, 2020 I found these spreadsheets and lists very handy. I often wondered how many charter members there are. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post

Thanks. Now I remember that place. I found it from above in a bit of dangerous place (I could have slipped and fallen two or three metres onto concrete), in a not, as marked, 1.5T place. Coordinates likely 15 metres out too. I see the cache is now archived. How did you manage to find this log? Quote Share this post Link to post

The requirements for Charter Membership were to have become a premium member during the first year when premium memberships were offered (spring 2002 to spring 2003) and then keep that premium status current. Thank you for this. I always wondered what the parameters were to be a Charter Member. I thought maybe it was limited to the first 100 or 1000 or whatever. I started geocaching in Nov 2002 but never knew about Charter or Premium Membership. Quote Share this post Link to post
