Targets and ambitions for 2019

Fri, 21 Dec 2018 07:53:34 +0000

Time for the annual question - what are your geocaching hopes, plans, ambitions and/or targets for 2019?

To get the ball rolling, I'm hoping to clear my DT grid (though I think I said that last year), and get at least three new gemstones on BadgeGen. I'm planning to get at least two new countries (Czechia and Italy), and continue my series of SideTracked events in the UK.

I'm also hoping to do a "multiple counties" 24 hour bash with friends, and would like to try to get 100 caches in a day.

A hypothetical question - If geocaching sites disappeared, how would it affect your life?

Does geocaching ever become an unhealthy obsession?

I try to govern my geocaching accordingly so as to not interfere with my work, family and home responsibilities. Do you ever feel guilty or irresponsible with geocaching?

The future of geocaching find counts.

Isn't it fascinating to think about geocachers beginning at very young ages, sometimes at birth with the help of a parent logging for them, and how many finds or achievements those kids could accomplish in the next 50 years?

We've already reached a time when 1,000 cache finds is the norm and closing in on 10,000 finds for the serious geocachers, which for those folks, can be done in just a few years.

Perhaps, many years from now, 100,000 finds will be viewed as a common and easy goal.

Sometimes angry or sad about late beginning to do Geocaching

Sometimes I´m angry or sad about my very late start of doing Geocaching.

Before starting to play the game in 2015 I was at different nice places and in different beautiful countries all over the world.

I was there and now I haven´t any Country-Badges or Founds from there. And I love statistics. ^^

You know what I mean?

Do you have the same "problems"?

New cache-sizes planned by geocaching.com?

I just got an email from Geocaching HQ regarding container sizes. In the survey they asked for large,medium, small and extra small cache sizes..

I wonder if Geocaching HQ is going to mess up the known sizes with the ones mentioned in the survey.

In my opinion they should leave it as it is, but with the addition of nano-sized caches.

What do you think? Are they going to mess things up? Do you see an improvement in the possibly new named cache sizes? Or do you think they leave it as it is?
