    Thinking about the D/T grid . . . what number combination would you say you are and why?

    I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    Who wouldn’t want to be a 5/5? Tough and rugged. A challenge and an adventure. But what fun would that be in life? Not everyone searches out the toughest most challenging caches, and the same goes for people. Tough and challenging can be scary to some, and just plain absurd to others. Now, what about a 1/1? Available to everyone. . . that’s a great thing. Quite visible. . . still not a bad thing. Not so interesting at first glance. . . that’s not so good. Seeing something so easy may not catch a lot of people’s eye. I would like to think of myself as a 3/1. Not so complicated that I scare people off or make them think that I’m over the top, but still interesting enough to draw people in. Of course, my terrain is a one. I would like to think that I am available to everyone who wants to get to know me. As a side note, I would like to think of myself as an Earthcache. I believe challenging myself and others to learn is a very important part of life, and Earthcaches have never failed to help me learn.

    This is a very interesting question. I want to say I am the whole grid. 1/1. Easy to find, easy to get to. I want to be available if a cacher has a question or needs assistance. I also see myself as high as a 5/5. I’m a hard worker and not afraid to bushwack to get what needs to be done in a timely fashion. Thank you for the question.

    I think of myself as a mystery. Some people will think I am easy to talk to. Some people might think I am harder to talk to. Personally I try to be as easy to approach and helpful; but I am not afraid to have a hard conversation either. As a parent, those happen a lot more often than people like to admit.

      As I teach the Geo101 classes, the key thing I emphasize is that geocaching has something for everyone.  The D/T grid is what makes it happen depending upon your personal abilities.  There was a time when I could go for just about any D/T but currently I am staying in the lower terrain ratings these days.
