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. 🙂
