On this last day of the year, with the leading team currently caching in Arizona and the next closest player nearly 2,400 points back 😯 😯 8O, I think it’s pretty safe to call it for 2010.
As if there were ever any doubt, the Lonely Cache Game has crowned a new king—and queen! Starting off the year on a tear of 733 points in January on 62 finds, HuffinPuffin2 proceeded to smash records, including:
-Greatest number of monthly points (781.5)
-Greatest single-season point total (3842),
-The all-time record for lonely caches found, at 367 and counting.
Looking at the all-time leader board is equally remarkable. HP2 did in a mere 15 months what it had taken us veterans three years to accomplish. It’s also worth noting that they did it the hard way, with nearly 97% of their LCG reports coming from new finds (just 14 revisits 8O); and without having the benefit of “maintenance points” available to players in years past.
While they could have easily blown by the all-time cumulative points total in 2010, they took their foot off the gas pedal in December to show a little mercy 😉 ….but I have a feeling January, with a fresh list, will be a busy month… 😀
