Geocaching

Geocaching is a sport using a GPSr to find caches hidden in specific locations. There are caches all over the world. For more information go to www.geoaching.com. Although I joined geocaching.com back in 2005 I only started physically caching when I got my first GPS, a Garmin eTrex Venture HC, for Christmas 2008.

Below are some statistics of my Geocaching "career". I have recently swapped from using Cachestats to the FindStatGen Macro from GSAK as it offers more detail. If you are trying to get similar stats on your WordPress blog then the procedure is exactly the same as outlined in my original blog post.
Cornell Finch has 333 Finds on 333 unique Geocaches

    Hey Erika. Unfortunately you are using Blogger, not WordPress as I am. I am not familiar with the Blogger interface and do’t know how to get the stats showing on that platform. Good luck!
