You are…The Nature Lover!

You were voted “most likely to see Bigfoot” in your high school yearbook. You live for the days you can get out on the trail and leave civilization behind. Trail mix and energy bars are your go-to snacks.  You are happier spending all day hiking for just one (preferably T5) geocache than you would be finding 100.

Your ultimate geocaching tools:

• Heading out for a day of hiking? Be prepared! Create a Pocket Query to find all the geocaches on the trail in advance. You can then download up to 1000 geocaches to your GPS, or they will automatically appear in the Geocaching App when they are ready for download.
• Using the Geocaching App? Make sure to save your geocaches in advance so that you can access them when you are out of cell range. To do so, create an Offline List in the Geocaching App for Android or iPhone.

Quick Tip for Traveling and Geocaching: Many GeoTours have passports that you can complete by finding all of the geocaches in that tour. Super secret hint: Completed passports can often be redeemed for awesome prizes. Make sure to print out the passport before you hit the trail. (You can usually find downloadable versions on the individual GeoTour’s website.)

You are…The Stats Geek!  

Let’s be real. It is all about the numbers. You live for racking up those smileys. Finding 10 billion geocaches in just one day? Finding a geocache 365 days in a row? You say, bring it on.

You’ll love this geocaching experience: ET Highway Power Trail

Your ultimate geocaching tools:

• Smileys are just the tip of the iceberg. Track your D/T ratings, home location stats, geocache types found, and more on Your Statistics Page.
• Looking for even more crazy numbers to show off? Run your stats on GSAK and upload the information to your Geocaching.com Profile.

Quick Tip for the Statistician: Did you know Milestones can be edited and locked? From your Account Details page,  find the “Statistics” box on the right hand side of the page. Click “Change” in the Statistics box. From here, you can edit and then lock each of your Milestones. Additional changes to your finds (by cache owners) will no longer affect your Milestones.
