So I just did a quick google search and it looks like geocaching.com has approximately 100 full time employees and generates over 11 million dollars a year in revenue. It’s a privately owned corporation with a CEO. That’s definitely not a company built on sand and they surely have a back up plan.

It’s ok Ryan, not everyone dreams about selling a butt ton of t-shirts and other assorted useless stuff.
G’caching is definitely more retail oriented than L’boxing which is why L’boxing is by far superior!

We moved to the Western Slope four years ago, and recently started up again here. Letterboxes are definitely slower to be found here in comparison, but we're adjusting.

Blaze Orange Season
Board: State: Maine
Oct 31, 2025 11:17am
Tomorrow, 1 November is opening day for deer season with firearms for Maine residents, Monday the 3rd for all. Hunters are required to wear two pieces of blaze orange, one must be a hat, the other cover the major portion of your torso, a vest, sweatshirt, etc. The season always closes the Saturday after Thanksgiving, this year the 29th.
Muzzle loading season is 1-13 December, same blaze orange requirements apply. There is "No Sunday" hunting in Maine for any season.
At this time of year it is wise for all to wear to wear blaze orange of some sort. We all can enjoy the great outdoors no matter what our interest may be!

Yes. I have a blaze orange baseball cap, a vest, a fleece-lined hoodie. I call them my “I am not a deer” clothes. They usually stay in the car; sometimes I just tuck the cap into my bag just in case.
