I'm relieved to read some of the latest posts. I have never been into numbers and thought for a long time that maybe I was missing something. I have never understood the fascination with powercaching. I like out of the way caches and I like multis. At times I like to do urban caches but mostly for the stealth factor. I have been a member for 4 years and just passed the 500 mark. I live in Idaho but travel to Arizona once or twice a year to visit family near Wickenburg and Tucson. In fact I am a member of the AZ-Geocaching loop just so I can keep up on what is going on down there for my next trip. When there, I love to go caching, you people do a great job placing caches. In fact my numbers usually take a big jump after a trip there because that is what I do - I cache.

I think caching is what you make of it. I don't get the numbers game - but if that is your gig then I say good luck. I much prefer a day on the west side of the Tucson Mts (one of my favorite places to cache) picking up 6 or 8 caches. In fact one of my favorite caches of all time is over there. It's a multi, and I'm a geologist, so if you are familiar with that area you can probably guess which one I am referring to.
