We\u2019re not talking money. Get this. There are more than a million (pronounced: milllllllllion) geocaches hidden around world waiting for you to discover. It\u2019s a big deal.<\/p>\n
Right now there are 1,057,398 caches out there somewhere. Remember, just short of a decade ago there were only 75. You\u2019re now truly within minutes of a geocache almost anywhere on earth (and beyond).<\/p>\n
Find yourself in Libya for a conference on shoe-repair? Enjoy finding all ten geocaches there<\/a>. Traveling around the Indian Ocean collecting bacteria spores and you\u2019re sitting out a long layover in Seychelles: 17 geocaches<\/a>. Christmas Island? The International Space Station? Kyrgyzstan? The moon?<\/p>\n Yes. Oh Yeah. Yep. Errr\u2026 No (not quite yet).<\/p>\n The first million geocaches took about a decade to accumulate. The second million will be outside your door before you know it. Some geocachers are really racking up the numbers. It takes more than all your fingers and toes to count the people who found more than 15,000 geocaches.\u00a0 And more than 100 people have 10,000 finds or more.<\/p>\n However, the best of anything (geocaching included) can\u2019t be measured by numbers, but in moments. You might want to cue the violin music. Cough. Cough. \u201c\u2026Right now, Catch a magic moment, do it right here and now. It means everything \u2026\u201d Did I say violin music? Maybe I meant the rock \u2018n roll stylings of 80\u2019s super group sensation Van Halen.<\/p>\n You get the idea. Still\u2026 I\u2019m sure there were plenty of \u201cmoments\u201d while you\u2019re logging more than 15,000 geocaches.<\/p>\n A Promise NOT to be \u201cN 45\u00b0 25.9 W 122\u00b0 22.4\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Not many people can make the promise not to be \u201cN 45\u00b0 25.8 W 122\u00b0 22.4.\u201d But I do. However, I won\u2019t promise to not make you work. Sure you could click this<\/a>, and find the answer. Not you though. Your voyage of discovery is true\u2026 wait\u2026 you\u2019ve already clicked the link. Okay, the link goes to Boring, OR, USA. Okay. So I won\u2019t be \u201cboring.\u201d I might take away hyperlinks in clues though.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s something you can do to keep \u201cboring\u201d far far away and the adventure of geocaching close at hand.
