Not to hijack the thread, but I believe we are overdue for another visit with the Echoes also. Have kayak, will travel.
“Have kayak, will travel.”
Cool. Looking forward to this.I have 3994 within 100 miles.
But here’s the math:
100 mile radius, taking away 1/2 for Lake Michigan, is 15708 square miles.
Taking the amount of caches, I end up with about 1 cache every 4 square miles. Imagine, if they were evenly spaced, every cache would be 2 miles apart from each other. I don’t know what else you could compare that to, but when some people say there may be too many caches, a 2 mile average spacing dosen’t seem too tight.
Yes, have too much time and math skills for my own good.
Oooh! OoooHHH! I’m making progress!
Current stats show – 795 unfiltered
129 filtered.Big difference!
3073 within 100 miles of 54853 (Luck, WI)
but that # is very skewed- 100 mile radius covers a Lot of MN to the W, so its pretty inaccurate. Within the first 14 miles, I begin to see Mn caches….I used a 50 mile radius, and got about 700 (minus appx 20 mn caches)
Thats a TON more than were around when I began – Im excited by the growth in WI caches!
PS- If you access caches in your area from “My account” page- I beleive I read recently that the default is now 50 miles.
If you access cache searching from the Hide & seek a cache page, you can manually give it a radius.
