      Ten tips to help you maintain your geocaching streak<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Let\u2019s talk about geocaching streaks. <\/strong>A streak is when you log a geocache or attend an Event Cache every day for an extended period of time. Some geocachers have maintained them for a month, a year, or even longer \u2014 several streak freaks have even maintained them for YEARS.<\/p>\n

      You can track your streak on your profile statistics<\/a>. But what if the weather is terrible? What about that thing called \u201cyour life?\u201d What if you just want to binge watch movies from your couch with your four cats and a pint of ice cream?<\/p>\n

      These ten tips will help you plan ahead, stay motivated, and become a streak freak<\/strong>!*<\/p>\n

      1. Know when to hold ’em<\/h5>\n

      \"Reserve<\/p>\n

        Reserve low difficulty\/terrain caches located close to your home or work for busy and\/or extreme weather days.<\/ol>\n
        2. Know when to fold ’em<\/h5>\n
        \"Do
        Do not zoom around at 60 miles an hour to grab a cache by 11:59 PM, endangering others and yourself. It\u2019s a hobby, folks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        3. Have reservations<\/h5>\n
        \"When
        When meeting with friends, suggest restaurants or places near caches you need to find. They\u2019ll never know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        4. Midnight Madness<\/h5>\n
        \"Find
        Find a cache at 11:30 PM and then find another one at 12:00 AM the next day. Clever!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        5. Elementary, my dear Watson!<\/h5>\n
        \"Pre-solve
        Pre-solve coordinates for Mystery\/Puzzle caches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        6. Hostess with the mostest<\/h5>\n
        \"Consider
        Consider hosting a monthly Event Cache or CITO. (Keep in mind that creating daily events just to bulk your statistics is frowned upon.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        7. Get physical<\/h5>\n
        \"Incorporate
        Incorporate geocaching into your fitness plan and bike,\u00a0jog, or walk to caches. As your streak continues, your distance will increase and your waistline will (hopefully) decrease.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        8. Au-tumn is au-some<\/h5>\n
        \"Start
        Start a 365-Day Challenge in the fall to get the worst weather out of the way while you\u2019re still \u201cfresh\u201d. The flip side? You\u2019ll end your streak in the most glorious of weather! And don\u2019t forget about the existence of Leap Day \u2014 the next one is February 29th, 2020.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        9. Ice ice baby<\/h5>\n
        \"In
        In the winter, make sure caches have the \u201cAvailable during winter\u201d attribute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        10. First is the worst<\/h5>\n
        \"Leave
        Leave the First to Find (FTF) bragging rights to others during your streak. You gotta stay focused!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        One last thing…<\/h5>\n

        If your streak unexpectedly ends for any reason (one of our employees gave birth to her third child just two days before completing her 365 streak<\/a>), chin up. You can always swap out a streak for a 365 grid<\/a>. Plus, now you\u2019re set up for a new personal benchmark to beat!<\/p>\n
