What is the point of that button anyway? I logged some caches today, and then clicked on my stats tab. It was already updated when I looked. :P

I can see some new challenge caches coming...... Find at least one cache for every day of the year, etc. That would take most people about a year to qualify for, waiting for a particular date to roll up and then run out and do a cache.

I got enough caches around me that I can do that if I have the time.

I just discovered this new stats tab, I like it, saves me the trouble to do it.

It's not the size of my cache that matters, but the way it adds to your mystery.

I have been doing this for a while now as a personal goal. I think I will be done in April if I remember correctly.

I know from personal experience that challenges aren't as well liked here in NW Ohio as they are in other parts of the country. :?

I think people work on challenge caches as they go along. I don't think they set then as a goal and actively work toward the goal. But rather just keep track of where they are. However there are some that will complain that they have to drive to PA to get a "9". Of course there are some that complain that all caches aren't on guard rails also.

Bottom line if you create a challenge or something greater than a 1.5/1.5 be ready to hear complaints.

btw: I don't do Blue Squiggles!

Well they can just get over it. Nothing says they have to complete a challenge.

It all depends on how bad you have the geocaching bug, as to whether you HAVE to complete a challenge or not. :wink:
