+elrojo14 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 So I am going to make some Benchmark Geocaching UnChallenge caches and boy would it be easier with some benchmark statistics pages. Anyone know of any or have the knowledge to make some? A benchmark US Map would be good for each state you have found a benchmark in. The 366 calendar days would be nice. Is benchmarking so obscure only those of you reading this care or do we have some promise here? Quote Link to comment
CallawayMT Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 About 8 years ago there was someone who kept statistics of all of the Benchmark finders. Furthest North, South, East and West; most finds, highest finds, etc. He did make it fun to try and outdo others. I don't know if he is still around or his website still available.

Bill93 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/305887-statistics-are-on-vacation/ Holograph worked hard to keep the stats up to date monthly but circumstances overtook him 6 years ago and he stopped. I expect he will probably read this thread because he has logged in recently. His web site didn't come up for me. Edited December 29, 2018 by Bill93 Quote Link to comment
holograph Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hello, friends. I let the holoscenes.com web site expire last fall, but still retain the domain names. It's been nearly 6 years since I moved to Maryland, and haven't attempted to update the statistics since. It became quite hard to download the activity from the NGS site, and now it looks nearly impossible to capture the recovery statistics and rankings for individuals on Geocaching.com, due to site changes over the years. For old times sake, these were the last two maps: Quote Link to comment
kayakbird Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 holograph, Thanks again for the spending all that time back then. Somewhere on a now defunct laptop I have a excel file tabulation of the over 3100 counties in the United States that I would eagerly updated with your new numbers. It was great fun to work on a few of my regular counties to get them near or past that 50% level. kayakbird Quote Link to comment
