    Each of our caches is placed for a reason: scenic spot, historical significance, interesting geography/construction. None of them was placed at a stop sign or guardrail "just because". They're traditional caches with swag, real log books, and are big enough to place most travel bugs. And we maintain our caches.

    Yes, we could put out more caches, and we intend to one of these days. But we prefer quality over quantity.

    You could also argue that geocachers should give back by sponsoring a geocaching event once in a while. You could probably count on your fingers how many GCM.org cachers have sponsored events. Well - at least on fingers and toes both. Which makes about 20 people - less than 1 percent of GCM.org members.

    Looks like about 50 different people from what I can see, depending on how you want to count the people who keep editing their names because they forget spaces, etc... And remember, when figuring percentages compared to gcmaine members, a large percentage of those members do not live in Maine.

    Still a relatively low number, but events are not for some, like me. The likelihood that I'll host an event is probably lower than the likelihood I'll hide a GRC. I am a lousy host.

    But if you look closely, a lot of those events are under the auspices of the "Maine Geocaching Association", not GeocachingMaine.org (21 alone listed under MGA).

    And an event can involve a lot of work. The Pirate events, the "Laste Cache Bashe" events, the recent Aloha event, and the 10 yr event in Brewer come to mind. That's one reason I suggested the Sunday breakfast events. No planning, no expense, just a gathering of geocachers.

    Based on his post I assume brdad is only counting those events hosted in Maine.

    Wrong. Mainiac1957 has hosted a couple of "Beer and Wings" events.

    I'm not sure how an association with the MGA has any bearing. Many of their members are members here as well.

    Correct, only Maine events.

    My point was the number of GCM.org members who have hosted an event. I suggested 20, you posted a figure of 50+. Discount the 21 by MGA (can't count it if it isn't a GCM.org event...), leaves 29.

    And I'll make the effort to identify people on the list who are not GCM.org members:

    Team Norac
    Emmy-n-Sapphie
    Nick~MacCache
    teamdozer12

    Which leaves 25 GCM.org members - close enough to my suggested 20 I'll concede 2.5 percent of our members have hosted events rather than 2 percent! LOL!
