Thanks to some of my dear friends (you know who you are), I got infected with a virus called Geocaching back in 2011. Since then it has brought me to many places I wouldn’t have seen without it.
Statistics updated on 2022-06-17
I’ve found 1547 unique caches since my first cache find on .

D1.0 and D1.5 are shaded as I try to follow a D2+ quality cache policy (few exceptions apply);
to get from ~2.17 to a difficulty average of ~2.30 it takes: 1001 D2.5s, 287 D3.0s, 168 D3.5s, 119 D4.0s, 92 D4.5s or 75 D5.0s;
to get from ~1.96 to a terrain average of ~2.10 it takes: -2203 T2.0s, 545 T2.5s, 243 T3.0s, 156 T3.5s, 115 T4.0s, 91 T4.5s or 76 T5.0s;
