Geocaching continues to grow

As reported by jestcaching there are now 1,000 Geocachers who have found 1,000 or more geocaches! I for one am impressed. I have been geocaching for nearly a year. We started Dec. 5, 2004 so our caching anniversary is approaching, but we are currently at 382 caches, just a little over one cache per day. We still have a long way to get to 1,000 caches but I believe we will eventually be there. If you have found 200 or more caches check out the ranking of geocachers worldwide and you can see how you rank. We, XC_Tracker, are currently ranked 4,227 worldwide. By location we are ranked under the Nebraska group at 16th, but in Montana we are 11th.

The list if fun to see where you stack up against other cachers, however it isn't the name of the game. Sure, finding more caches than everyone else might look good on your profile, but the real name of the game is getting outside, enjoying the great outdoors and on occasion getting your brain in gear to do some thinking! With that in mind I think Laura and I will be doing some caching soon, we are going to make an effort to reach 400 caches by the end of one year and we need only 18 more in less than three weeks...

Switching to other news now, Laura confirmed that the scale read 189 this morning. We ran our 2 mile route nearly a minute faster than last weeks fastest time and felt great while doing it. This evening we cooked Laura's duck for supper and made an interesting Thai dish with it. I am still in debate over the overall satisfaction from it, but I would definatly consider making it again. That's all for now. Until again
