The new “Geocaching favorites” feature at geocaching.com is so cool! Starting today premium members are able to rate their favorite geocaches of all time. For every 10 caches found you can pick one additional cache as a “favorite.” Per Groundspeak: “By awarding a point to a favorite cache, you help call attention to the highest quality caches in your area and reward cache owners for placing exceptional caches. The Favorite Points earned by a cache are tallied and displayed on each cache page and in the search results for everyone’s benefit. Premium Members have the additional perk of sorting search results by the most Favorited caches.” What a great idea!
This is my first day of posting messages, by the way. My wife and I (I’m Hack1 and she’s Hack2 and we go by the name of Hack1of2) are from the Wauwatosa area just outside of Milwaukee. We’ve been reading the posts in the forum (so many messages, so little time…), have found about 300 caches (so far) but haven’t posted anything in the forums until now. We hope to get more involved with the WGA and especially in the SE Wisconsin area.
