I have probably spent more than $1600 (gas, oil changes, flat burger meals,
campground fees etc) finding my 800 caches but this would be an additional
$1600. It would be a heck of a party for $1600. I will keep my money and
get my rewards in the satisfaction that I have been to the cache site and
have seen alot of places I had not seen before. I am definitely going to
steer clear of geogamer.
