What a HOT topic! I agree with most everthing you all wrote, especially 
TeamBlunder. ......

   I also use Geocaching as an excuse to 'Air out the kids' AND to see more 
of this BEAUTIFUL state we live in. Numbers don't really matter to , except 
for trying to catch up with my buddy AZjammin! LOL. Since my children don't 
live with me, every moment is precious when we are together and they have 
some good stories to tell thier friends!

   With regards to Team VS Indi., well Having a team doesn't really help 
because of the extra lag time while caravanning accross town.... then the 
chit-chat and planning ....etc. I'd bet it evens out.
My 2 cents worth .....
