I had tracked active cachers through the end of 2003. At that time you were #99 on the list. I had counted 300 active cachers at the end of 2002. Brew’s record shows a total of 255 at that time [not too bad]. the term active cacher is misleading. These are cachers that appeared in the recent finds list between the time we started [April 2002] and the point in question. our numbers have been trippling annualy while we lose about 25% of the old cachers. The alogrithms for tracking that plus the fuzzy math I have been using makes the error of my estimates at about 30%. but from this I would estimate that you were about the 150th resident cacher to log a find in Wisconsin. That would mean that your estimate is really not too far off.
