    We are giving a Geocaching presentation next Wednesday evening and wanted to update some of our info… so how do we find out how many caches there are in the world, U.S. and WI? We were using parts of an old power point we got from the WGA site that we had tweaked with some other info but it all really needs to get updated.

    TIA

    There are 598486 active caches worldwide.
    In the last 7 days, there have been 393121 new logs written by 56612 account holders.

    The GC main page tells the current cache count world wide.

    California 52520 ? Its like a whole state of West Bends!

    #1891006

    Thanks SammyClaws for the West Bend “recognition.” Just wait until after our $1000 Cache Ba$h this August 16th GC1AW6D…there will be 50 new permanent caches plus two earth caches plus a new possible night hunt cache.
    We would love for this to turn into a Mega event so PLEASE sign-up now if you haven’t already.

    Lastly, I’m too tired to count but where does Wisconsin fall in for total number of caches in the states…do we make the top ten list?. 😆 Tennessee surprises me ❓

    #1891007

    Jeremy, could you order the states’ list by number in each state, top to bottom???????

    I have lots of issues at the moment (yes more than I normally have)…. sleep and caching will not be among my activities for awhile.

    That aside I’m up for work at 4am anyway….soon to be up at 3am because there is a roomer that they will be adding an on-site gym! 😛

    Plus as I’m hugely anal-compulsive so getting an opportunity to put information in order made me really happy. 😉

    Thanks for being the compulsive type.
