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.
