Caching goals for 2008

With the anticipation of being on active duty in 2009, I set some geocaching career goals at the beginning of the 2008 caching year.

1) With the huge influx of micros, I sacrificed numbers and went after regular size caches with more determination. I wanted to find a career total of 500 regular size caches and that goal was met.

2) Finding caches by 500 different hiders. That goal was recently reached.

3) Obtaining the Platinum Earthcache Award. That was accomplished this summer with a trip to Michigan and Canada.

4) Adding counties to the Tennessee County Challenge. While completing the challenge will be very difficult, I did manage to add one county this year, that being Sumner. With no future trips to the Knoxville or Chattanooga area on the horizon, I don't figure this goal will be any closer.

5) Finding a cache using a boat or kayak. That was done this year using an inflatable kayak.

6) Logging 2,000 finds. That goal should be reached in November or December.
