Well, I finally did it. I found<\/a> my 2000th cache<\/a>. I did it with a week to spare in the year, too.<\/p>\n

To tell you the truth, getting to 2000 wasn’t very enjoyable, at least in the last month. Geocaching became something I “had” to do rather than something I wanted to do. I was trying to find any spare moment to go find one more cache to guarantee my 2K by the end of the year. I just don’t need stress from hobbies at the end of the year with the holidays and all kinds of crazy busyness at work.<\/p>\n

But it was fun most of the year and I can now stake my claim in the to 50 or so Geocachers in the World<\/a>. For now I’m taking a little break, going to try to place some more interesting caches and generally try to remember what life was like before I started obsessively seeking tupperware.<\/p>\n

I haven’t set any new goals for myself other than trying to eventually average 3 caches found per day since I started (January 1, 2003). As of today I’ve found 2004 caches, an appropriate number I may stick with. That’s 1549 caches in 2004 or an average of 4.23 per day. <\/p>\n

I got some cool Geocaching gear for Christmas including a hiking stick, hiking pants and a very light hat, so I’m eager to try them out. But even if I wanted to go caching now, there’s a couple inches of snow on the ground here in NH, making many of them more difficult.<\/p>\n

I wonder if I’ll burn out from this sport anytime soon. It sure does get me out and provides endless distraction, but there’s only so many times you can visit the same parks and enjoy it. I guess I’ll see when I’m blogging on Dec. 27, 2005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
