    How many cache types made up your busiest geocaching day?

    That was a busy day. We love to go to mega events with lots of vendors. It’s great to see all the different geo stuff. Glad you were able to grab the whereigo while out.

    Twelve in one day is pretty darn good in my book let alone making sure they were all different types. Thanks for sharing your busy day.

      Thank you! Everything lined up so well for that day too. There was a community celebration event the day before as well, but it wouldn't have counted for that day.

      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Thank you, that was a lot of fun! I like using Google Earth to show people where I'm geocaching and to give an idea of distances. I used it in the video you contributed to showing where in the world geocachers were from too!

    A fun geocaching day. The most types i have in a day is 12. When we went to seattle in 2017.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Hey, we're tied! That's cool that you got the 12 in Seattle. My previous best of 7 was in Seattle as well (2013 Geocaching HQ Block Party) but it wasn't intentional, HQ has that diverse GeoTour nearby and I found those caches. Thanks for watching and commenting!

      @@GeoElmoGeocaching my team is called the deadliest cachers because when we first started geocaching, after we were done on the weekend we would watch the TV program deadliest catch while we ate dinner. It seemed logical to adopt the crab as our mascot. 10 years later, I am the only one left from the team that actively geocaches.

    Congratulations. In July, I got 11 cache types in 1 day. No virtual or wherigo for me that day. I did get the GPS Maze, a CITO and my first webcam cache. A number of people went for 15 that day. In addition, there was a community celebration after the mega.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you! It's funny how you and I both got a large number of cache types in a single day yet our cache types were different! There was a community celebration event the night before which I couldn't count toward my total, and we didn't have a GPS maze (still never been to one) nor a CITO in the area. Thank you for watching and commenting!

      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Wow, that's dedication! But that's a lot of fun too. I'm not sure how you take a webcam photo when it's dark but I assume it was good enough to qualify the cachers for the cache!

    Congratulations! Turned out just fine. Maybe add a bit more audio overlay otherwise just fine. Glad you didn't just scrap it but went ahead and challenged yourself. Imagine planning ahead just a little what that might have been like or what a future vlog like this could be. Keep at it! Please.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Thank you, I appreciate it! The two vlogs I've done have really been about adventures more than caches, this being about having a busy geocaching day and the other about celebrating 10 years of geocaching finding caches in NYC. So, if I have any more geocaching adventures, I'll consider it! Since I created this, I've gotten a better phone and also a stabilizer, which should help a bit.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching

      Thank you! It takes some planning of course, and I was fortunate not to have logged the locationless cache before (as there is only one).

      Thank you! I wanted to give people an idea of where I was geocaching, especially showing how I had to go out of the way for the last two. During the summer a trip to the shore isn't usually quick as it can be quite crowded, but I think the overcast sky and the wind kept people away, thankfully! I appreciate the comment.

    • @GeoRick

      We are using google earth studio more too. It's great way to show people where you are going geocaching.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому +1

      I've noticed your maps but didn't realize you were using that software. I think maps help give the viewer the perspective of where you're geocaching, and I like doing that.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Thank you! It's a lot of fun to make it a challenge and works best usually when there's a mega event or something similar. Just search for the nearest of each cache type, put it into a list, and go for it!

    We did 13 back in 2017, but only 11 officially counted (sans benchmark & waymark). As for that Wherigo, only 500 ft through that mess in shorts is child's play around here.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Using project-gc, only 11 of the cache types counted because I don't pay for membership to that site, but I just edited my "badge" with the lab cache that wasn't showing up. So if you look at my project-gc profile you'll only see 11, but I know it was 12. I'd still count yours (to yourself at least) as 13! I've never found a waymark but I have found a few benchmarks. Thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @KneelMore_CacheTales

    Nice job on the busy day. My best is 11. I'm not sure if I can even get a 12 icon day at this point.

    • @GeoElmoGeocaching
      @GeoElmoGeocaching  3 роки тому

      Thank you! You could probably get 12 or more if you tried. I think the locationless and GPS Maze may be one-time only cache types (not sure), but for example if you did the ones I did with some planning, plus maybe a CITO or something, you could hit 12. But... 11 is great! It's better than my previous 7! Thanks for watching and commenting!
