Thomas and Monica hid the first cache in the STL area and they # 1344. The first cache they found was placed by Doug in june of 2000 and his # is 359. He placed it south of Bloomington but it is archived. Does anyone know Thomas and Monica? B.H. :) It would be interesting to see the growth curve ...my problem is I just blew away all the emails as I was cleaning out my box so all the numbers are gone with them.....Anyone in the group join in 2000 ? .....we have several in 2001....probably several in 2002 etc ....it would give us an idea of how many members were added in between our members and that would be relatively close to the proper membership growth curve. I can see that there was quite a jump from Strider in 2001 at around 3200 to my almost 37000 in January of 2002 Dan Dan Henke <thunder_monk@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Well I started in January of 2002 and I am # 36840 Laura Million <lmillio@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Wow!
