- I joined 4 months after Strider (3258) and was number 11,234. It would be interesting to see a chart on how fast it has grown. Things were much different in the early days. Hardly anyone knew what it was. GPS were not as good - no paperless caching. No way to download the caches-had to enter each one by hand. There were not lots of caches. I remember thinking it would be impossible to find 500 caches. You rarely met other cachers. I think it was my 54th hide that put me with more cache hides than anyone in the world. My first one was GCBA8. My dad showed me a newspaper article and I was addicted.
