1 million caches

Groundspeak reports that as of midnight PST there were 1,001,001 active geocaches. Might be time to increase the size of those pocket queries.

In this post after some PQ problems last weekend, Jeremy indicates that PQ's will increase to 1,000 caches per.

"We're taking this issue very seriously at Groundspeak, and we'll be focusing on increasing the capabilities over this next weekend to ensure this never, ever happens again. By increasing this capacity we'll also be prepared to offer Pocket Queries with 1,000 results instead of 500. This will happen by the anniversary of geocaching (May 2, 2010). As those veterans to geocaching know, I'm not usually one to offer dates, but this one is solid."

With caches being published and archived all the time, knowing which cache or caches have been number 1,000,000 would be difficult to determine. Strange to think that I have found only 0.21% of the active caches and 0.14% of published caches, and I'm falling further back all the time!

The millionth cache was http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?id=1000000, placed in 2008. But there weren't a million active caches (total caches excluding archived caches) until recently.
