Ever look at the numbers for the top 100 cachers in the US? Ever wonder why that state has so many? Must be the water, down in Tennessee.

To be sure, Nashville has much to offer in terms of history and hills, but its swamped under parking lot hides etc.
Sort of a Gresham’s Law for geocaching.

Did you know that Nashville’s nickname is called Cachville? We went down there last October. I remember doing “Historic caches, some up in the hills, they have some hard ones (we had some no finds), and they have their share of drive-ups. Geowoodstock #2 was hosted in Nashville, that’s where they started the “cache runs.” A lot of those drive-ups usually go MIA eventually. There are a lot of nice geocachers that we have meet in Tennessee. We plan on making a return trip and attending an event down there in June. Tami
Sorry, Major, this topic is only for those who have an interest in numbers.
Some watch tv, some drink beer, some read books, some go for walks, some like playing with numbers. Take your pick. Please, do not criticize others’ choices.
