Well this is getting trickier...

Post by RebornCyclist » 23 January 12 4:30 pm

Inside 30km from home, I have 36 unfound GC & GCA caches (not counting moveables), of which 6 are on top of mountains, and 5 are on islands.
Time to get physical!

Haha, good luck, being a feline, I would pick the mountains over the water!

That's an impressive stat! I have 70 unfound in a 15km radius from home, half of which are puzzles! Time to train my brain?

Since posting this 5 months ago, I have found 83 caches inside 30km of home (including 4 of the ones on islands), and the number of unfound caches has GONE UP from 35 to 36!
Keeping up is becoming the challenge...

Keeping up is a challenge? Why in my day we had to walk 10 miles uphill in both directions through the snow to get only 36 unfound caches within 30km.
Also, our home coordinates were a shoebox in the middle of the road.

Within 30km of home I have:
1298 unfound caches
261 are puzzles
47 have a terrain of 4 or higher.
And thats just the GC ones.

30km?!? I have 7 unfound of the 42 GC within 2km of home. 8-[ The saturation rate around here is ridiculous!

Might be time to make a trip back there again...

When I left I had every Traditional in the Canberra area (excluding Namadgi) and only had a few (<50) puzzles and multis to go. That is getting silly!

Matt, I never got down to those numbers but had no trouble doing 52 in a day around town recently. And thats in a 6am-4pm day, not 24 hours. I'm sure you'd be able to pick up a heap if you dropped in for a visit.

Out of the 30 GC's within 2km of my house, i havent found...5 of them.
Two of them are 5 star puzzles. FML.
Two of them are unloved and poorly maintained
And the other one is on a hill i am too unmotivated/generally too injured to climb.

Haha...It's amazing how quickly new caches are published. I was quite shocked when I visited a couple of months ago...Thinking I would be lucky to be able to manage 50-70 finds over three days...I ended up with 140...and that was just within the urban areas of the ACT. The density there is unbelievable.

And depending on your point of view, it will only get better / worse :-# :-# :-#

When I posted the original topic, I had 36 unfound non-moveable caches inside 30km
Since then, I've found 124 inside 30km, and I still have 31 to go - it's like playing Whack-A-Mole!
