Go And Get ‘Em 8, a local geocaching event where people cache like crazy from 6pm Friday to 6pm Saturday and then get together for dinner, took place this weekend.� 68 caches were placed for the event all over Ottawa and also on the Quebec side of the river.� Over 100 people went caching, either alone or in teams.

I recorded the following stats for the event:

• 19 caches attempted
• 16 caches found (17 if you include the event cache)
• 2 caches not found
• 1 cache not completed
• 1 cache placed for the event
• 237 km driven
• 28.8 km/h moving average
• 15.1 km/h overall average
• 8 hours 14 minutes moving time
• 7 hours 27 minutes stopped
• 1 tree climbed
• 1 nano cache found
• 4�micro caches found
• 6 small caches found
• 4 regular size caches found
• 1 large cache found
• 1 travelbug found
• Lots of fun had

I’m already thinking about caches for the Go And Get ‘Em 9 which will take place in the fall.
