[Az-Geocaching] Wolfb8 is among the top cache placers in the world

[Jim Scotti]

Congrats Wolfb8!  Also on that list is Puz-zel of Arizona, tied for number 42
in the world.  The amazing thing is that "Just a Short Walk" from California
has taken 106 short walks to place caches!  They must get an awful good price
on cache containers, whatever they use.  The number 3 hiding team is from New
Jersey - I didn't know you could find anywhere in New Jersey to hide
geocaches, but they've found 64 places somehow.... :-)  Also Arizona has the
7th highest total number of caches in the US, so our cache per capita must be
close to the highest in the country (World?!).  Compared to California, we
have almost 1/4 the number of caches (ok, 1:4.25) yet we probably have only
about 1/10 the population, so we have more than twice the number of geocaches
per capita.  Looked at in a per capita way, Team Wyle might be #1 in the
world!  :-)

It would be interesting to have a tally of how many teams in each state have
found a cache to see what places have the most geocachers.
