    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… 😀

    I’m amazed and tip my hat to this great team. They’re great people in person, that write fantastic logs, and appear to have a great time doing it. I can honestly say, “I’m jealous.” It’s apparent they have a great relationship and have an enormous passion for the sport.

    Yes, the HP2 team found out how much fun the LCG is! Congrats! 😀

    Plenty of room for more cachers to join the party!

    By the way… will there be a LCG Party this year?

    I bow before the amazingness of all the top players, and I’m a little surprised that my 11 points 😳 for the year didn’t have me in dead last. Of course now that I’ve tried it, 2011 will hopefully include a lot more LCG caches.

    Yes, there is something uniquely special about the lonely cache game. The bug can bite hard, and it couldn’t have happened to a better team. Hats off to Andy and Linda for all the new plateaus they showed us! 8)

    If you want, we could make this a WGA event. We could probably get the board to kick in some door prizes.
