I didn't reach my 2009 goal of reaching 150 caches by years end. I did reach it by January 6th, 2010. I had also put a goal of 200 by March 1st, but didn't meet that either, but did just get find #200 on April 9th, 2010. I'm putting a new goal of 225 by June 1st, a more than reasonable goal. I'm thinking I can reach 300 by Late August & 400 by years end. I'm sure at the current pace and huge number of caches available that would be no problem, but I suspect as has been the case in years past I'll have other higher priorities that will take me away from caching or I'll just loose interest for a while. There are so many more caches today than when I began it isn't hard to just get 100 caches in and around your home (in this area).
