Updated oldest active caches page

I took the time today to udate my oldest active geocaches page. 

After updating my site to new colors the old one was messed up.  I also had a few people point out some errors, though apparently all of the caches are still active and going at this time.

Enjoy

I updated it again this morning... I had an error with #22/23  somehow they had gotten merged.  It had the GC # of the one in Georgia, and the Link/Name of the one in Michagan. 

I also sorted it back from oldest to newest rather than by location.

Thanks for the catch : Mat McGuire.

Thanks to Clubmud1 he pointed out one from California that was missing.

I also found a link that was bad, and two that were gone that were listed.  so we are back to 108.

Hiding a placing a cache & happy holidays

Here is a Happy Holidays from Groundspeak

Let the favorites begin.

Go team go. The updates should be done soon.

Now we have favorites, I am really curious as to what will come out the favorites caches. Some will not make any sense.

Yes it still has its bugs, great caches that are not found a lot, will not get many finds because of that.

Enjoy the Maps, and stats.

GSAK and the new stats

As mentioned in a previous post Stat, Maps and Favorites  premium members will have a new stats page.  I have received a few questions that I think I will be able to answer.

Will the stats be able to be turned off?

Yes they will.  If you have no desire to show them you do not have to show them.

Why would I use the stats instead of GSAK?

I have read that in a few spots.  In reality many cachers do not know how to use GSAK, or have not taken the time to understand all of the functions that are available.  For them this will be a simple and quick way to show their stats without getting more complex.

Those were the two that came to mind.  You can turn off your stats if you wish and continue to see your GSAK stats.  They are on different tabs, so you can keep them both.

And the snow falls, thank you.

Things start moving to a crawl as snow starts to fall in the mountains.  It is funny that most of what I reviewed last year was in southern Utah.  Though there was still a lot of stuff going on in the rest of the state.   It was much more pleasant there, not 120 degrees in the shade like July/Aug.  So we are in their prime geocaching season.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone.  There is so much support.  As I sit here in Idaho at families house, far from home.  I am so thankful for the work that everyone puts in. 

I am amazed at the creativity of caches, the tireless work to make events work, the patience when I make a mistake, and the time people take to make this hobby better.

So now as I watch the snow outside, think of how warm it is inside, and I contemplate actually finding a cache out in it  (don't bet on it, I tend to only play in the snow when I snow camp with the scouts).

This year has seen a lot of activity in the Geocaching world.  The 10/10/10 events, bug event at headquarters, many changes on GC.com, and the upcoming addition of new maps, statistics and favorites.  I think we have seen about 7000-8000 caches added this year.  All because of the great cachers in the states.

Take the time this Tuesday when the site is updated and add your favorites.  Thank those that placed the caches for you, pick out the best, and reward them.

So enjoy the time you have, enjoy the season, and thanks for the hard work.
