[GeoSTL] Re: a year ago

I didn't even know what geocaching was in June of last year. I didn't hear about it until a USAToday article in late July or August last year.

Yea, the good ole days when you could count the number of cacher in the
world above 100 on 2 fingers and above 90 on 1 hand!

Amazing how far we have come so quickly.

Check the "about geocaching" section. It has a running tally on active
geocaches each day. We just exceeded 3,000 caches over the weekend.
