Climb to 400 Finds

I know a lot of you veteran cachers out there will laugh at me for being proud of how quick we got to 400 finds, but it is something that I did not think would occur this fast. For us being rather new cachers, climbing to 400 is definitely a nice feat for us. We jumped from 300 finds to 400 in a matter of less than a month and a half. That is more than 2 finds per day. I realize that some cachers can grab 100 caches in a day! However, our journey to gaining 100 finds in a month and a half is totally satisfying. Not to mention, we are coming up on a year of caching at the end of this month so reaching 400 is definitely another nice milestone to have under our belt before reaching our one year anniversary. After sitting back and thinking about it, I am not sure exactly how we got there so fast. We did have a weekend of 47 finds, but the other 53 kind of crept up on us. Even writing this I am struggling trying to figure out how we racked up 53 more finds past the weekend we found 47. I am assuming that it was the few times we would go here and there and grab a few caches. For instance, this weekend we went to Chicago to visit the Field Museum and grabbed four caches while walking to the museum. However, yet again, I am stuck at 49 finds that I am not accounting for. The downside to this feat for us it was is going to occur over the next couple of months. Our finds are going to drop of severely due to how busy Erin and I are going to be. With us both graduating this semester, we are about to approach the home stretch of college work and we are beginning to acknowledge that caching is going to have to be put on the back burner for the next few months. Good luck caching!
