Hello all, just wanted to tell how me and my wife got started. we say it being done on TV so we had to try it. it looks and sounds very fun we are going on our first cache this weekend (7-22-06) just a simple one. we wanted to do this because we like the outdoors and want to loose weight and have a good time doing it instead of being coop up in a smell gym . we are planing on going to the Geo picnic in august. looking forward to meeting new people and learning as much as we can. and maybe make some new friends so i hope to see alot of people there. and if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to contact me. my e-mail is [email protected] please put in the subject line geocaching or my e-mail filter will kick the e-mail. thanks again
