It may be interesting to see which states the 1000 cachers came from... how many from each state.

Wow, that's an interesting milestone! It'd be neat to know in what order those 1,000 cachers reached 1K (I found my 1000th cache in July 2004 and I've always wondered how many people reached that number before I did), but I doubt that information is ` anywhere.
Just curious, who was the 1,000th person to find 1,000 caches?
Not sure who the 1000 was but one of the following could very well have been the 1000th:
Russ and Dana

That's a lot of caching! Neat information - interesting to see who's a cache-a-holic! I know I am darn close!
let's not forget that there are +1000 cachers who are not listed on the grand pobah list.
so the date or time may be off.
