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! :)
