Personal Stats
Since January 2002, I have found over 200 caches. Here's a link to my latest finds.
I ended 2002 ranked in the top 5 geocachers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and stayed within the top 250 worldwide (out of 40,000+). At this level of play, cachers were averaging one cache a day. On my most successful day, I've discovered 10 caches.
I recently relocated to San Diego and after a year hiatus, resumed the sport on a limited basis.
Early Discoveries
When I started this sport, I documented each and every find. Here's a link to those early discoveries.
