Well - I have found it to be fastinating...sometimes a history lesson, sometimes a park I have driven by many times and didn't realize it was there, visiting cemeterys - well kept or forgotten (appreciating the people who have gone before), long (and I mean long) walks in parks or nature reserves and the exercise that I get taking those long walks and the appreciation of the scenery and God's creation. My husband prefers benchmarking although he will go caching with me. My mom has been once and seemed to enjoy it (but she, like me and my husband reads the comics too), while my dad (who doesn't read the comics) seems to hate it. I have visited a Supreme Court Justice's grave, Wilma Rudolph's (Olympian) grave, and Frank Sutton's (Sgt Carter on Gomer Pyle USMC) grave. I have hiked trails in Scotland (great views I wouldn't have seen otherwise), visited Castle Mound in Thetford England, and look forward to caching where ever I might travel (Hawaii, Alaska, Ireland, etc.) I am sorry your wife had the immediate reaction, without even giving it a chance. At least my dad went along before he starting complaining!
