Milestone Intervals

[+The Blue Quasar]

Don't get me wrong, celebrating accomplishments are a great thing....

 

I'm just wondering what are the "True Milestones" for measuring success.

 

I know for myself that I have considered somethings as milestones that really aren't all that special of a number (like 125), and after seeing all these recent success stories I got to wondering that if I was going to put up a chart on the OGA site, what criteria should I use.

 

So here is my list... please feel free to suggest any alternatives and your reasoning for it.

 

(Yes, the weather is bad today.... can you tell?)

 

Here goes

 

Total Find Milestones : 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000

 

Traditional Milestones : Same

Multi Milestones : Same

 

Puzzle Milestones : 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500

Letterbox : 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250

Virtual Milestones : 25, 50, 100, 250

Locationless Milestones : 25, 50, 100, 250

Event Milestones : 25, 50, 100, 250

 

If you're as bored as I am, feel free to add your thoughts.

"True" milestones? You're kidding, right? There are no hard and fast rules for this stuff. Play it your way, have fun, and make your milestones, if any, your own.

I'd say your chart sounds reasonable.

We've noted our 100, 200 and 500th finds in our profile, but 250 would be more 'logical'. We posted them more to fill space in our profile than anything else.

Of course I'm kidding.

 

This is just a fluff conversation. I do like to note things, but this is hardly something "Important"

 

I just wondered how different people measure these things.

 

I'm snowed in, the internet keeps disconnecting, the TV is out, what else is there but a random conversation LOL.

Geeze ....and to think when I find one more I'll be at 50. It feels like a milestone to me

I would have thought the more "logical" milestones would be 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 etc.

 

For me a milestone is finally finding a really tough cache that has been eluding me. Much more satisfying than just "hitting the numbers" in a Walmart parking lot

IMHO the most important milestone is 1 - after that there's no going back and you will never be a geocaching virgin again

I too would have thought the more "logical" milestones in todays world would be 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 etc.
