Geo-Stats

For the most part of my geocaching career, which has spanned 5 and 1/2 years, I have used different statistics program such as itsnotaboutthenumbers, GSAK and my geocaching profile. The itnsoutaboutthenumber site was closed and I do miss the site. The site has the coolest map displays and since I could look up my many friends and my one nemesis alike, I was able to see what others were doing, especially in the quest of the Well-Rounded Cacher. Currently, I am 11 catagories shy of the quest. With my R&R leave two short weeks away, I hope to knock out three of the catagories. Those being: Giving Back #3 Here you go Memphis!, get the kayak out for Half Moon Island and I have solved the puzzles for: Flip Dizzy-The Monkey Comes In and Overton Park Mystery Cache.

Regarding stats, some of inquired why I have not found and logged 7 Mile by my friend airroster. There are two reasons. 1) I want to rack up cache to cache miles. Having a cache to find once I return from R&R will give me another 7,000 cache to cache miles. Currently, I stand at just over 69,000 miles. 2) Since I don't have a find on September 4 or 11, finding the cache on either day will accomplish that goal. In the next month I may have the opportunity to log 16,000 miles.

Also, I have plans to set up 2-3 caches that will be 4.5 and 5 star terrain caches. Cachers, you have been warned!

Update 8/8/10:

Have also solved two 5-star difficulty puzzle caches. (5) Sudoku Series and (1) Sukoku Series.
