Stats for sites
I just downloaded 5000 caches from opencaching into my GPS. From the Utah border to Kansas then border to border (almost)
Opencaching.com stats
5000 caches
- 2269 - 45% have never been found
- 998 - 20%have been found one time

- 1095 - 22% have been found 3-5 times
- 69 -1% found 5-10 times
- 13 - 0.2%found 11+ times
503 -10% not imported from geocaching.com (I saw a few are hand entered from geocaching.com so the number is likely a % or two below that)
