I was cleaning out one of my drives at work and I came across a chart I started a long time ago. It shows the number of caches I've found each month since I started caching.

As you can see, I do a fair amount of caching in the spring, but most of my caching from July through September (summertime in the Rockies). The most I’ve found in one month is 92 (this was on a trip across the Great Plains last month). My average is 13.21 caches per month since I started caching exactly 3 years ago today!

 

One anomaly is August 2003. My truck broke down heading to an event in July and was out of commission for most of August.

Another anomaly was April/May 2004. I was so busy planning my first campout event that I didn't really have much time to go caching.

 

How active have you been?

Do you mean active finding caches, posting in the forums, or just your general daily activity angst level? :rolleyes:

 

Oh never mind, I just reread the OP. I'd like to see a similar chart of the blue dude's forum posting habits though. :(

Don't make me stop this thread ;)

 

So averaging just over a cache every two days for three years isn't good enough for you? :D

 

it would take too long to figure out my post stats, especially if you count the 10,000 or so posts I've made in the Off-Topic Forum that aren't included in my official "post count" ;)

More than some less than others :rolleyes:

 

actually If I worked it out correctly I've found 5.7per month, and hidden 1.3per month. Outside of scrolling a bunch of logs or making a chart, I don't see an easy way to find most per month or the other high/lows, so I'll just leave it at the numbers.

 

Ps- happy cacher birthday (??)

I was very active last spring while I participated in a cache league. I then took the summer off to entertain my two year old daughter while mom worked on her doctorate. I started up again in September and have ups and downs as work allows. If I did it correctly, my average is 27.118 per month. That sounds like I cache more than I recall right now. I guess I should not use this data to persuade my family to cache more with me. :rolleyes:

I have 120 finds in six months. Averages to 20 per month. My first 21 were without a GPS since I didn't own one yet.

 

I'm addicted to this sport like the rest of you and can't imagine not geocaching. :lol: But then, I don't have to, do I. I love EVERYTHING about geocaching ('cept the poison oak!).

WooHoo! I found cache number 104 today on my 94th day of caching . . . and it was my first, First-to-Find. :lol:

 

 

You know, maybe if I had figured out how to get the newest caches delivered to my InBox a little sooner than a week ago, I could have done this sooner . . . :lol:

You are not welcome in this thread. Please respect the wishes of the topic starter.

An official "you are not welcome here" to an innocent, completely perfect, and very nice forum member.

 

So typical of gc.com volunteer Moderators/Approvers/Tyrants. :lol:

 

Oops! Methinks this post is perhaps angst-ish.

 

Back on topic.

 

In six months of caching, I've been active at times and not so active at others. :P

 

One drop in caching activity directly coorelates to my wife giving birth to our son. A spike in activity directly coorelates to about when he came home, and there were diapers to change. :P

 

Oh, yeah, and my activity tends to increase a bit on a day when my two year old daughter begins saying "geocaching?" as soon as she wakes up and through the day until someone takes her geocaching. This generally occurs on Saturdays.

 

When I figure out how to chart out all these variables, I'll be sure to post it. :lol:

Geocaching Since November of 2001 . We seem to have randomly set a goal for ourselves in that , with the end of one year we try to outdo ourselves the next year .

 

Currently we have 808 finds , numerous DNF's , 20 hidden , and various TB's we have helped along the way.

 

Not exactally sure how it would look on a chart though except that I know it would increase every year .

Non-chart reply:

 

As I basically say in my profile:

 

200 caches in my first year.

 

50 more in my second year.

 

250 more in my third year.

 

Comes out to over 500 now.

 

Looking into each month and stuff is a little too involved for me right now. :lol:

 

And see? I can do math! ;):D

I'm going to take some of this data and see if I can correlate it to market fluctuations in stocks and commodities. If I can get a positive correlation, I'll see about making money in the market, then write a book about my investing system and make even more money on that and retire at an early age, caching almost every day!
