According to geocaching.com there are 151 active geocaches with a 10 mile radius from the center of town. I would like to see at at 200 by the end of summer. With all the geocaches that we plan on planting and with all the other geocaches that I hear through the geocaching grapevine that will be planted we should easily make the 200 goal on time.
With any luck a HUGE geocaching event will be held here possibly around fall that will draw lots of visitors from all over and give a boost to the local economy by filling hotel and motel rooms, shopping and for the restaurants too. So getting 200 geocaches out there by the end of summer is going to be our goal. I know that the local city will be placing some geocaches for this event too so there should be plenty to keep all the visitors very happy indeed. Now the goal is to make it fun and challenging too.
The inventiveness and the creativity of some of the local people are too much. I am always explaining to first time geocachers or muggles interested in geocaching what things to look for without telling them where the location is or its name. Several are standouts in my mind. The longtime geocachers are really testing the geosenses on us newbies in the game.
I can't wait to get down to California next month to hopefully find some new types of geocaches and use them up here in the future. Where we are going is a small town by California standards but within a ten mile radius of the center of this town there are 1,580 geocaches hidden according to geocaching.com. About 10 times more than we have locally. Talk about saturated. We will just about be stepping on them everywhere we go it seems ... lol.
