StrongBad Cacher Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 When I was reading all of the information on bomb scare caused by the In Plane Site cache, I noticed the huge concentration of finds. It had been found about 80 times since October 15th. It had alot of notes on the page but it still got me thinking. I was wondering what Physical cache (no virtuals or locationless) has the most finds. I'm sure this has been discussed here before. But i'm sure the numbers have changed since then. StrongBad Cacher ...On a scale from one to awsome, I'm super great! Quote Link to comment
StrongBad Cacher Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 I'm suprised no one responded to this. How about this Revised question. We may arrive at the correct answer like this: What cache that you have found, has been found by the most other cachers? Physical caches only please.

+Searching_ut Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Unfortunately, I haven't got a clue how to figure out which cache has the most finds, no finds, or any other information like that. It would probably be quite interesting to see though. Just guessing by the lack of responses you've received that I'm not in the minority this time when I say "I don't have a clue" Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Sew Little Time in Sacramento has to be up there. It's on my watch list and I seem to get a find notification several times a week. It has89 logs. I'm sure someone can beat this tho. A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away. -Barry Goldwater Quote Link to comment
+travisl Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 I ran a Google search for site:www.geocaching.com ''logged visits'' total and scanned through the list of 150 pages it spit back. My assumption is that any cache that has a lot of finders probably has at least a couple of links pointing to it from personal web sited. I picked about a dozen with 120 finds or more, and found that they were all virtuals, except for two of those. Have Bug, Will Travel has the most log entries, with 196 entries, 126 of which are 'found' logs. It's in Phoenix, Arizona. The other cache, 50 Quarters, is in Portland, Oregon. It has 145 logs, 111 of which are 'found' logs. So... 126 finds is the best I can find on short notice. "I'm sure she would have been thrilled to find so much pooh in a little metal box."

+kimbo Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Deep Dark Secret, also in Sacramento has 111 log entries. Deep Dark Secret is located in a very accessible area and is a great "1st timer" cache which probably explains its continued popularity. Quote Link to comment
StrongBad Cacher Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 Here's what I found from a quick, educated guess style, search. Beverly, which is the oldest active cache in Illinois, has about 80 finds. While, Drury Lane Theatreleads the way with over 90 finds. Interstingly, Drury Lane was placed by an interloper, Not quite a tourist, but not a resident, later adopted by Markwell. So for all of those against tourist caches, here's a success story.

It was a success story because Markwell adopted it.If it was such a great site, I'm sure some local cacher would have planted a cache there eventually.If Markwell wasn't available to adopt it, it would likely have degenerated into geotrash.

Broncoholics Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 On 4-8-2001 Gimpy placed this cache and has 98 logs so far. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=1577 I think that's way cool since the cache is still going strong.

+Chichikov Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 The I-90/I-495 Bug Hotel has 158 logged visits. I didn't look, but I'll bet some of the other bug hotels have a lot of visits. --------------- Where am I going? I don't quite know. What does it matter where people go?

+ROCKY Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 After reading the above I was surprised to see that my Cache in Orlando is among the leaders. With 123 total logs, 108 finds. I think I have about 16 with it on their watch list. If you plan on a visit to see Mickey, check out my cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=11128&log=y&decrypt= Quote Link to comment
azog Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Well, I know I can't beat 100+ logs, but Hitec Retreat is very close to me, and has almost 60 logs. I find that to be neat. By the way, you are not so very awesome.

The Artful Dodger Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Ok, its not a physical cache but CRUSSO's Where's in a Name cache has over 280 logs and SIXTY people watching it. Wow! Most popular Travel Bug Hotel cache is Grand Central Station with 130+ logs. I wish my New York TB was so popular, grr! Quote Link to comment
BassoonPilot Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 quote:Originally posted by The Artful Dodger: ... I wish my New York TB was so popular, grr! You made the unfortunate mistake of placing your Travel Bug Hotel in a location that requires more than the minimum physical effort ... though for he life of me, I can't figure out why people would want to miss out on the view. I think many of the caches in our area don't receive many visitors because of the challenge they present ... or don't present. (Too hard or too easy.) The latest I've ever signed into a cache was 38th, on a cache that was 1.5 years old, I believe. I was also somewhere in the low 30s on another old cache. Both caches were showing their age, too ... neither owner remained active nor had ever logged a maintenance visit to their cache. We also have experienced those periods when many caches have been deliberately plundered or compromised, which tend to shorten the longevity of caches ...

+fractal Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 My Oregon History Lesson #1 cache has been hit about 119 times or so. Makes me feel good that I've gotten that many people to stop and read about a piece of Oregon history! -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45 30.ish W 122 58.ish Quote Link to comment
