😀 Thanks everyone. Though I don’t completely do it for the numbers, numbers drive me to get those caches. I’m an accountant and if you know accountants, we don’t count anything without a calculator. My calculator is geocaching.com, I hope the calculator doesn’t break!
It’s been a busy two plus years on the trails. In that time I’ve made many new friends, strengthened friendships with existing ones, pushed my body to it’s limits and then some, challenged my mind to think like others or just to think hard to solve problems, used more “girl” trees than I have ever in my life, and been to and seen many different places that I wouldn’t normally have had my eyes “open” to.
In the time I’ve been caching I’ve also completed my BA (yes with highest praise), am currently pursuing my MBA, and changed jobs that have increased my responsibilities. I’ve seen my son graduate middle school and moved onto high school, watched my son play baseball, basketball, and football in towns across many states (which thanks to geocaching and my GPSr I can get around town very comfortably), and have had the pleasure of having my son drive me around practicing his driving skills (and testing my understanding of what direction is right and what is left 😆 — joke to those that have cached with me).
Yes I know there is life beyond geocaching and I have a fuller life to be able to fit it in along with all the other activities in my life.
Looking forward to the next time I see/meet you on the trails….
