    Default RE: Most caches placed?

    I was scrolling through GC.com's site this past weekend finishing up some caches that were on my "to do" list when I happened to notice that Smitty & Co. have a ton of caches out there (and most of them I have yet to do) and this made me wonder who out there has placed the most number of caches here in Maine . . . I was particularly impressed with the volume of Smitty's placed caches to his found caches and from personal experience I've enjoyed the few caches of his that I have done.

    We were up north this weekend and I think we counted 30 plus that Northwoods Explorer has put out.

    The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
    suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
    friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

    aa1yb has hidden 33 caches, many of which were Maine's first. Though he's not much of a finder, he gave caching an early start here.

    Northwoods Explorer has hidden 46 caches.

    I have only hidden 5, but there are 34 coordinates used in those 5

    Since I love useless statistics I calculated the average find to hide ratio of the top 44 finders in the state according to the link referenced above.
    The average is 67:1 or 57:1 if you exclude the 8 who have no hides.
    The highest is Team Horwich at 13:1

    Wow, tough crowd. You have to have over 500 finds to break into the top 10

    Slate not that it matters, but I have a total of 25 hides. When I moved from upstate NY I adopted all my caches back there so they could stay active. That helps my ratio a little bit.

    Also, my stats do not show here in Maine even though that is where I am at. My cache total is 572 caches found. So I am in the top ten.
    I'd really rather not cache, but I am helpless in the grip of my compulsion!
