[Az-Geocaching] Major league sports facility geocache: One finder has logged more than 800 cache findings

[Tim Giron]

I would disagree about the proliferation of locationless caches in this guys finds being the key. They appear to be a relatively new phenomenon and there are only about 60-70 locationless caches around (up from about 35-40 a month ago); most of them have the constraint that you have to be the first to log the particular site/item/whatever. They can actually be quite challenging depending on what constitutes a find. The furthest we have travelled just for a cache was for one of these type (Bagdad, AZ to nab a drive-in + a famous city name). Since they still require you to figure out where one is and then get the log before someone else does, they are a fun diversion from the norm.

My speculation on CCCooperAgency is that it is actually a small group of people. There are actually some pretty tough-looking caches in the found list.

If you look at his recent finds, they are dominated by locationless caches
which can be bagged a little easier in many cases than traditional caches.  
For example, one such cache is a US Flag - take a picture of the flag and
your GPS and record the coordinates and presto, you've got it.  There are
also two Historical ones amongst the locationless caches that could be bagged
pretty easiy.  I suspect his high rate is temporary as he gets to the end of
those kinds of caches, though there are many of them and a decent stream of
new ones appearing all the time.
