Geocaching stats


Just like any sport, geocaching has statistics (stats). In this case, stats refer to the number of caches that you’ve found and hidden. When you sign up for a free or premium account at Geocaching.com, you can log the caches you’ve found as well as add caches that you’ve hidden to the site’s extensive database. The Web site tracks the finds and hides for you and displays them on a user profile page. Other members can check out your stats, and the number of caches that you’ve found appears next to your alias when you log your comments about a cache you’ve visited. Some geocachers are competitive and are in to racking up as many cache finds as possible. Others are more blasé about the whole numbers thing and could care less. Like so many other aspects of geocaching, it’s up to you how you want to play the game.
