As of this weekend, I broke into the top 10 Geocachers in the Bay Area based on number of cache finds. I don’t think it’s really about how many caches you’ve found, but I like the concept of ‘collecting’ things.
I doubt I’ll ever get higher than #10 as the people above me are all more obsessive than me and there are some below me on a much more agressive pace.
Still, it’s fun to think with 1612 caches found I’m in the top 75 in the world.
So what does 1612 geocaches look like? I recently wrote some code to see, using GPSBabel and the Tiger Map Service.

Dude, that Bay Area map is just sick…
Interesting. I wonder if you could figure out where geocachers lived by taking the densest 20% cluster of caches they’ve hit and calculating the geographic center.
oh my god..my husband has just started geocaching…does it really get this obsessive..and I thought he was bad!!!! 😉
