Wow! It’s sad that so many simple questions become such “issues” on these forum threads!
I’ve done all of the above. For me, caching with Commander Bob is the best way to spend my time on the trails. We have so many of the same thoughts and styles that make it very easy to be “out there” with him.
I’ve also enjoyed caching with small or large groups of people. Some very funny things can happen when others are walking with me. Not to mention the fact that I’ve made some wonderful friends while caching. We’d start talking and discover that we’d like to do more. Before long we found ourselves caching together more and more, then spending time together (dare I say it?) without GPSR’s in our hands.
Team Badger is a great example of caching with others. No one is excluded and all are welcomed. (Some even return)
As for walking alone. Yes, I enjoy that too. Sometimes I find myself needing a release of sorts. Taking a walk and excercising my “sailor” vocabulary is often quite a relief. There are also times when a few moments of silence are needed and caching is great for that too.
It really doesn’t matter how I cache, as long as I get to do it. I’m just glad that there were those who talked me into walking in the beginning. I’ve had a blast!
Thanks for the question Kevin!

Was it the one that aired a couple of months ago? Law and Order CI?

Okay…since the cacher’s out of the bag…I’m starting another link about this subject!!!
Uh oh! Good thing that Port Washington Event isn’t in New York! Since the town is having a celebration that day, we may not have been allowed to cache…blah!
Hi there…yes, that’s very cool. I’m sure cachers all over Wisconsin will be glad to hear this…especially the ones near the rest areas and Welcome Centers.

E-mail me and we’ll see what we can come up with. I have a few ideas that would work, but I’ll need some help. Once we figure out a date I can work on getting the help I’ll need.

Ahhhh…finally…
Spoken like a true leader!You must be doing something right, so go with it. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know there aren’t any set ways of “teaching” Geocaching. Everyone I know has either cached with someone who was a member of Groundspeak, or went to a presentation put on by someone like you. I think it’s awesome that you excited people enough to make them want to be a part of the craziness. If the scouts want you to do it again…go for it!
If not for people like you, people like me would never have begun Geocaching. I applaud you for your efforts.

You’ll have to wait for the article to find out. Some old, some new, some…
Now that the weekend is over, and we’ve had some time to recover from the excitement of the past few days…
We met up with Dnation Friday morning and gave him a quick run-down of what our idea of Geocaching is and what he could expect from his day.
Dnation was accompanied by a friend from California (Spark) who had also not been on the trails via a GPSR. This made for some very interesting and fun moments throughout our day.
Since Dnation was writing, he was more of an observer than participant (that’s his story and he’s sticking to it!). After giving Spark instruction on how to use the GPSR we headed down the trail for cache #1. They needed a bit of gentle nudging to make the find on the first stop and soon we were joined by a photographer (Ron).
A few hours and at least as many caches later, we found ourselves playing host for some good old Wisconsin brats at a nearby eating place.
The bottom line is this: The day went very well. Wisconsin Geocaching will be shown in a very good light. The WI DNR, WGA, and cachers across the state will be smiled upon once the article goes out.
As for WI Tourism…as it turns out, that’s how this whole thing started, and now there are some great stories and trail photos to hopefully inspire travelers to cross the cheese curtain.
On a personal note, Bob and I have some new friends and Geocaching partners. We’ll be out on the trails together very soon! Also, next time we make it to California we’ll be caching with our friend Spark (He’s hooked too and planning his GPSR purchase already!).
Thanks Dnation for posting your note and getting us off our bums on Friday! Thanks to Spark for being such a willing participant and for making it very easy for us to share our love of this sport with you. And thanks to Ron…hope that wide angle lens worked well for you! LOL!

Nice try but I win…mine’s funnier!
MBPoor little Garmin user! Right on top of the cache and still searching!

Glad to hear it! Now go log that Team Badger cache!
Encore! Encore!
