That is a good idea that I agree with. People should have to get used to what geocaches are like before they’re allowed to create their own.

I wish I’d known about Geocaching when I lived in Japan! It definitely adds a twist to traditional exploring.

“Enjoyment Quotient” nicely put.

2 million, that is a lot of caches! It means I will never run out of caches to find, although I may have to travel a bit further from home every time

What would have been interesting to know though, how many caches have been published in total over the years?

With the issues with the 2,000,000th active geocache, it shows yet again, there should be a minimum find rule before hiding a cache rule.
But it also shows, that this game is here for a long time and can be enjoyed by everyone, anytime anywhere

We’ve only just begun! Around 313 million Americans occupy 2.3 billion acres of land in just the USA! Two million existing caches world-wide is amazing, but that number gives us only an indication of a far more important number, one that is impossible to calculate. Call it the Enjoyment Quotient. It would be a combination of the number of geocachers, of new friends met, of personal interactions between people who would never have met otherwise gathering at events, the incalculable fun had and education gained while discovering so many new places. I have long claimed that geocaching is the best family game ever and I stand by that. With GPS use becoming ever more integral in our daily lives the future of geocaching is even more exciting than in our brief past!

Amazing milestone! And think that two million is active geocaches. Think of all the other caches that have been published, but later archived. Think of all the time that went into those caches long past. Think of all those lost adventures that would have made the total well over two million.

2 million geocaches?! That means 2 million possible adventures to me. I love this game! Thank you to all the creative cache hiders and volunteers that help make those adventures possible.
