Lost for words

Statistics can be boring, but they can also be enlightening.

Take for instance this message from the Geocache people -

We travel from geocache to geocache. We make friends. We are explorers (even if we sometimes get lost). We each have our own story, come in different shapes and sizes, hail from various corners of the planet (though the planet is round), and have our unique missions and goals.
But what brings us all together is this: We love geocaching.
As 2016 has come to a close, we want to say thanks. This game is co-created by people around the world like you: hiding geocaches, hosting events, sending trackables out into the wild, writing logs, and supporting the game.
 

GEOCACHING IN THE STATS 

2,982,645

geocaches were logged. 

526,292  
new geocaches were placed. 

 

So lets get out there and make 2017 a 3 million year of caches found!
