It is about the numbers

Was reading comments from the new GS "Be a Part of What’s Next
for Geocaching" and one chap was talking about their Team
SageBrushers

/>power series. Well if you want to get your numbers up, perhaps
a
holiday here ;D
Yerington, Nevada Home of the worlds largest Power run
[quote]The trail we have is located in a very small town and we
brought over 500,000 thousand dollars to the local community
here with the cachers coming in from every corner of the world
last year.. this isn't just a small run it is now over 6500 with
10,000 hides coming soon. The whole community here loves the
cachers and the cater to them. We have a Large Marquee that
welcomes Geocachers in the Middle of Downtown. We have
restaurants that give cachers discounts. We built this town up
to love the Cachers and to take care of them.

Will look at the series properly later on and comment.
For now I just picked up on this bit from TS 1142 linked to by

...that doesn't sound like a very safe vehicle.

Yes I noticed that and thought an odd description for a cycle or
motor bike

Nice to see that caching is benefitting a local area and getting
a good reputation :)
It says Nevada, is this the ET highway trail or a different one?

Not ET but several trails: TS, Eagle, WATO, WAF, BBTS, OML and
others. Take a look Griff :)

I think the title of this thread says it all.
If I could afford to visit somewhere in North America in the
near future Nevada would not be my first choice of destination.
A single cache find next to the high school my mother once
attended would mean more to me than 6000+ finds in a desert.
There's a challenge cache

o/GC49MYY just down the road from where she used
to live too that caught my eye being the closest hide to her old
house.
Fair play to the setters though, I wouldn't want to spend that
much time setting and maintaining (yes I know power trails seem
to have different rules about drop downs so not so hard to
maintain). And however much I say it's not about the numbers, if
anyone wants to organise a trip and will pay for my ticket, I
won't say no ;D
