Travel Bugs Statistics
Last night we attended the monthly geocaching get together called Central CT Cachers' Night Out. It was fun to see many new faces and meet up with old friends. The night's festivities included the announcment of two milestones, Zingerhead reaching the 1000 find milestone and Feathers logging his 2000th Travel Bug Dog Tag. Zingerhead was given a plaque for his accomplishment. Feathers had a Travel Bug called Feathers launched in is honor.
Now how about some statistics? You are all probably wondering why this blog has so many statistics on it. Well I am an engineer and engineers like numbers. Before the telling you about the TB stats I would like to share an engineering joke with you so that you can understand what drives an engineer:
An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girl friend, but a talking frog......that's cool."
Okay now for the stats. MaxB on the River from Michigan has logged 3,761 Travel Bugs, Jeeps and assorted coins. Feathers from Massachusetts sits in second place with 2,430. Now thats a lot of Travel Bugs!! If you would like to see the top 25 Travel Bug finders you can visit Robley's Cache Stats.

Question is, did they actually find these bugs in caches or are these virtual bugs...I just read a long thread on GC website about virtual bugs and it amazes me that people even want to log anything (caches, bugs, coins) if they didn't actually find it. It is all about the ICONs and that is so sad...I thought it was about the fun and the outdoors. Apparently I just don't take geocaching as serious as some do. For me it is a hobbie not a status symbol, but that is just me.
