+briansnat Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I go a little more than "now and then", but not quite "as often as possible". If I can fit a cache hunt into my day, I'll do it. But more often I'll go hiking, or fishing in my spare time. If there is a cache on the way, then great! Maybe that's why I've yet to break 150 finds after almost 2 years in the game.

+junglehair Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I am addicted, but I don't go every day, so I voted in the ''I go caching as often as possible'' category. My longest streak was 10 days in a row. I have done 87 caches in the past 5 months (which was the same number I did in total last year, so it seems my addiction is growing). -Junglehair I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

GeoGecko Xtreme Team Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Great Stat's Junglehair! We have done 38 caches since joining in June 03, we are very addicted and my lawn shows it, no time to waste on cutting grass with so many caches to find! By the way I will be sending an email to you at the NYGO website to offer our help! The Gecko Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 I changed the #2 answer to better suit the non-fanatical crowd. Hope it covers that area better. Quote Link to comment
+ChrisCindy Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 We have been caching for a little over 1.5 months. We have logged 146 caches and hidden 30. Are we addicted or am I wasting my time trying to figure out how to melt Geocaching in a spoon? When in doubt...hit it with a big hammer. Quote Link to comment

+Logscaler and Red Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Well we have calmed down just a touch. I checked the middle of the road. Once and a while. We went over a month without any hunting or finding. On 07-20-03 we went and found 18 without trying hard. I guess this is calming down from finding something like 100 plus a month for a while. I just might have to jump back into the stream again and see what happens. Then we might have to go to the top line. Again. Oh, still locationless free. logscaler. Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 53 caches in the first 90 days (most of these by bicycle). ==============?If it feels good...do it?=============== (the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: Don't do it.) . Quote Link to comment
+haggaeus Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 As often as my schedule allows + some laziness correlation. I think a good sign of addiction is that I check weather when scheduling my maintenance visits to our company remote datacenters. Czech caching in US. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I'll plan geocaching days. A recent day involved the hardest 1.25 mile Hike I've ever done and resulted in one of us breaking a couple of ribs as we were only a quarter mile away. But the day in the canyon is something we would of done before geocaching so it all fits well. Exploring and geocaching have a lot in common. Quote Link to comment

+Cap'n Cache Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I started a long time ago and then moved to Germany. I was under the impression that there were no caches in my area. I put in the cords once and did it wrong. It cost me a few months of caching. Later I realized my mistake and got back to it. I've only got a few finds but I think it's an awesome hobby and it's lots of fun. I got whenever my friends and I feel like it. I'm not at all one of these 10+ cache per day people Quote Link to comment
+WildcatRegi Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 You would have to say we go 'evey now and then' not that I couldn't do a lot more virtual caching in my area, but that's more of a Sunday drive type of activity and doesn't interest me too much. I guess I'm saying we're becoming a little more selective which caches we'll spend gas money and our time on. This last weekend we did a 3/3 which was quite worth it but that only upped my stats by 1, we could easily have hit 10 different virtuals in this area if we had wanted - not that I don't like a good, interesting virtual mind you!

+Possum Posse Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 We go just about every weekend. Once in a while we will take a "sick day" from work and go during the week. "Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us" - Thomas Paine Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Last year, I was going once a week and getting 5-8 caches an evening. Now, the cache density around me is much lower, I have less time (selling the house), and I've gotten pickier about which caches I go after. I've done quite a few in the last few weeks after a dry spell. So I also would say somewhere between "as often as possible" and "every now and then".

+WindChill Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 In the beginning (waaay back in Nov '02) I found 2-3 caches every couple of days. Now I could be considered a fair-weather cacher (Ive recently adopted the same attitude about camping). What it really came down to is...I go caching because it is fun; I enjoy being outside. WHen it is too hot or the bugs are too bad it isnt fun, so I dont go. When the weather cools off again and the bugs go bye-bye, Ill get back out there. ------------------------------------------------ The world is a playground.

+Team Sand Dollar Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 1) I am addicted and have to go caching every day! BUT MY WIFE WON'T LET ME 2) I go caching as often as my schedule allows (not EVERY day, but often) THIS IS TRUE. 3) I go caching every now and then. SEE TWO ABOVE 4) I do it just to keep my numbers up. SOMEDAYS IT FEEL THAT WAY. 5) Its become a hassle, more like something I am forced to do. SEE FOUR ABOVE. Somedays I can't get enough, sometime I feel it just for the numbers. But I'm hoping to cut down to a 20 a month habit after I reach 1000. That waits to be seen.

+Snowtrail Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I didn't vote because I kinda fell into several categories including one in the "none of the above." 1. I am addicted. 2. I do go as often as I can, but apparently not really that often. I mean 40 finds in 2 years is a bit lousy if you ask me. 3. I don't really keep track of my numbers. I find that I like introducing others to geocaching, so I try to select a chace that isn't way too hard to find so it would get them addicted faster. 4. I do, however, ALWAYS go geocahcing when I'm on vacation. I have found the most interesting places and most beautiful views that I never knew were there. So I guess I'm an addict that always goes geocaching on vacation to keep the numbers up, or as often as I can but that it really hasn't consuming my life over the last two years.

+Marky Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I don't have to go out every day, but I do go out nearly every day. Fortunately, my schedule allows me to go out all day on weekends and in afternoons, if there are nearby caches. It would be interesting to look back on the past year and see how many days I didn't go geocaching... --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
Team Kender Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 ^ Suuuuure Marky, and you can stop AAAANNNYYY time. Yup, uh huh. I go caching as often as my schedule allows. Which is sadly not much. Team Kender - "The Sun is coming up!" "No, the horizon is going down." Quote Link to comment
+BruceS Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I am somewhere between I go caching as often as my schedule allows and I go caching every now and then. I know it is hard for people to believe that since I have found 1000 in the last 4 months but also in that 4 months I had about a month and half when I found only 25 or so. When I cache I cache hard.

+NevaP Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I checked Now and Then but it's really more than that. We're retired and traveling a lot and the caching comes in spurts when we are on the road. I've logged 187, in ten states, since I started in late October last year and most of them have been away from my home base. I really should get out one of these days and get all those caches within ten miles of my house. NevaLP Quote Link to comment

+Team Lyons Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I have to try and juggle my other hobbies and life around geocaching. I've only been doing it a week but, with a pregnant wife at home on bed rest I feel bad enjoying myself too much. NO geocaching this Saturday. It's an all ATV weekend!!!! Quote Link to comment
