Hi folks, I'm an Anchorage native (born and raised) now transplanted to the East Coast and active in the New York Metro geocaching community. Just for kicks have started working on a bookmark list of the caches with the most finds in each state. (I'm restricting myself to caches with a physical container - no virtuals, locationless, etc. - although I may include a couple of particularly notable examples for comparison purposes.) I've been doing much of the research by hand, but I thought that if anyone would know where my research efforts have failed it would be active local cachers in different communities. So I'm here because I suspect that I may have whiffed for my home state. The best I've been able to come are EARTHQUAKE !!! with 420 finds and It's a jungle out there! with 403. I'm guessing that Anchorage - Big Wild Life in the visitor's center will eventually pass those caches (340 finds and a higher velocity), but it's not quite there yet. But... the state is so large that I worry about the quality of my work. I also might have too much of an Anchorage bias; I searched a couple of other cities but didn't find anything with more than about 300. So I figured I would check in here - does anyone know if I can do better? Thanks very much, addisonbr metrogc.org/forum/

Yes, Anchorage does have a bit of a bias due to population density and number of cachers/visitors. Anchorage TB Drop, GCNN27, has 401 finds.
Caches of note in other regions are Denali Bruin Breath, GCPFGF, with 330 finds in 3.5 years, and Fairbanks Travel Bug Drop Box, GCHPMV, with 300.
I agree that Anchorage - Big Wild Life is on track to pass up all of them since it was placed recently in 2007.
Anyone else have line of sight on a cache with more than 400 finds?
