I talked to Rich, and he said that Bruce's only competition in the country at
that time was CC Cooper. They would be battling back and forth for number of
finds. So it may be possible that Bruce was first in the nation to 1000 finds.
He was not first to 5000 because he quit caching at 4999 finds because CC
Cooper was a team that the wife would log finds and the husband would log finds
the same day in different states. The only way to find out would be to count CC
Coopers finds to see when they made it to 1000 finds. Good luck with that Ethan!

I'm sure he was the first for 1000 but
I'm not sure about 5000. If I remember correctly we had the
cache hunt and then we had a fire with hot dogs and hot
chocolate but don't quote me on that. I think the park was West
Tyson. I think Strider was with us.

The only ones that would know for sure, besides
Bruce himself, would be Glenn or Rich. What is printed in the
SLAGA History is that Bruce S. was the first SLAGA member to
reach both of those milestones. I'm not sure about the first
with Groundspeak.
