first of all, forgive me for errors, it has been years since I was on a BB and I about forgot how to do it.
In regards to caching in the area, I have yet to meet any of the "local group" but I have found that, in the short time I have been doing this I have noticed that ppl play the game differently and that I appreciate some cachers caches, more than others. I am learning I enjoy the finds of some members and others I will ignore from now on...they are just not as fun for me. personal preference I guess.
