According to my count August is now the record month for caches placed. I count 178 placed last month. Great job everyone!! Now if I can just find the time to go find them all.
Attention: Arkansas Geocachers

A big big thank you to all of you who are placing geocaches for others to find. And an even bigger thank you to Chuck Walla (our volunteer Arkansas reviewer), who has approved 440 caches in the last three months alone.
I was just thinking about the numbers yesterday while driving from one cache to another. I knew there had been a lot of caches hidden in October but I did not think it was that many. Thanks to everyone that hid new caches. I echo RKLMBL's thanks to ChuckWalla for volunteering the time to review and post all of those caches. It can't be an easy job. I scouted out several places yesterday for some new caches and hope to have quite a few new ones out in the next few weeks. Ya'll come find'em and hide some more for me.
I think we can hit 4K by the end of the year. If Chuck Walla can hold out
I plan on getting started after the event. I have some new ideas stewing on the back burner
I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

I've got 3 going into Hot Springs over the next couple of weeks. Maybe even more!
The way she throws those numbers around you'd think mbl was an analyst or something!
Well, Good Morning Arkansas Geocachers! And Happy New Year! You ended 2007 with 1596 geocaches placed in 2007 and still active. That's a 58 percent increase over 2006's 1009 geocaches. And you now have more geocaches than all but two of the surrounding states.

Well now that deer season is over and I did my part to help with population control I'll get back to placing more caches. I have several places in mind for new caches. Thanks to everyone for placing susch great caches!!
Coming from a newcomer to Geocaching, looks like Gorilla Stash (GC1B) is the only remaining cache from 2000, how long has it been since there was more than 1? Did it really take several months to get a FTF on it?
