Where In The World Have You Geocached? - Seeing Is Believing

Thought I would post an interesting visual that's available as a free download for geocachers; it's a geocaching stats program that allows you to download your 'finds" as .gpx file from Geocaching.com and then import the file into Cache Stats. Once done you can view a series of charts and graphs highlighting various POIs like "first find, "100th find", countries you've cached in, etc.

Here's a look at my stats so far; hard to believe I found my first geocache back in January of 2005, that's 9 years ago!.Since then I've been in the pouring rain, out in the summer sun, 4x4'd up mountains and crossed swollen creeks with water halfway up the doors of the Jeep. All in search of a $2.00 tupper ware container, which, when I write it out, sounds like some kind of "not quite normal" obsession!

All well, just a few more and I can say I've found 3,000 of those little containers...which, again, doesn't sounds like anything I should be proud of, or even speak of in public.
Have a look at the stats and the country maps below, if you have a comment, leave one in the comment section and let me how crazy I am!  :)

Oh, and just how far have I gone? According to my personal Travel Bug that I use for tracking distances between geocaches, I have gone 48,367 miles! More to come........
