Maine now has .51% of the world's caches
Ekidokai has placed the most caches in a day, and now claims most hides in 3 counties as well as 3 Delorme Grids.

OK, now just out of curiosity. If someone wanted to know. How many do we need to get to 1%? Just curious, I promise.

A total of 8250 caches would do it, 4078 more than we have now. And that's assuming everyone else in the world stops hiding caches. Good Luck!

Hmmmmmm.

Anyone know where I can get a few film canisters?

Use the little zip lock bags, film canisters are for amateurs! Take a run down I-95, throw them out the car window every 528 feet and take a waypoint. You will be done in about 6 hours and will have traveled 400+ miles! :D

Don't encourage the boy....he'll take it as a personal challenge. Like me at an All you Can Eat Buffet. Not Pretty!!:eek:

Sheesh! Cynical! VERY Cynical! LOL! (But I like it...) ;);)

A slightly quieter week!
I am however, amazed at how many caches have been disabled and extended period of time.

There is a new cache, Maine's Highest Peak or Not? (GC1TR00) by Northwoods Explorer (4.5/4.5), and according to my elevation data it falls just 19 feet short of the highest cache in Maine! The elevation data is far from perfect, I wonder which cache really is the highest?

According to the earthcache write up, GC93F0 is higher.

"At 5267 feet Baxter Peak is the highest point of land in the State of Maine."

Yes, but it's possible one or the other cache's posted coords is not at highest point of the peak. Probably more likely in the case of the Sights to Bewhole (GC93F0) by Rslyfox (5/5) cache.

Sights to Bewhole GZ is 10.4 feet from the peak, Maine's Highest Peak or Not? is even further off.
