[Az-Geocaching] AZ STATS

[Creepin' Jeepers - Geocaching 7/01]

Scott,

I agree that there is a greater satisfaction in coaxing a brand new JGCL Hemi all the way up San Domingo Wash over lifting a light pole skirt in a mega mall. Our numbers dropped from about number 4 or 5 in the state to a position of obscurity when we found out that geocaching could be fun, too.

Admittedly, the game is many things to many people.

  :) Thanks. Yea, I didnt see that at first. But after digging around a bit... 
  I found it. :)

  I like it! Finally, a more accurate scoring method. As the site suggests... 
  a more challenging mountain climbing or long hike cache will see much less 
  visitation than an urban cache. That is likely true in 99.9% of the cases. 
  It is very true that many, many times you will find a cache with a terrain 
  rating of 5 that isnt even a 3! But using the reasoning that the less visits 
  on a cache... along with how long the cache has been in existance... 
  certainly suggests a given cache is more difficult.

  I wish I knew about this ranking system a long time ago! I would have never 
  gone after an urban cache in the first place. I love hiking caches and more 
  difficult to get to caches.... and now because I have done literally 100's 
  and 100's of urban micros... my CP ranking is tarnished forever! :)) LOL  ;)

  Unfortunately, while I am more selective in the urban caches I do these days 
  (I no longer feel the need to get every cache in the valley!)... urban 
  caching is always going to be a part of geocaching for me... and since there 
  are sssssssoooooooo many of them.... I will probably never get above my 
  current ranking of 7th place! :(  It's hard to not want to go for a cache 
  that is 1 mile from home! :)
