Hey, from Lake Orion!
I actually learned about Geocaching in school. My science teacher was offering us extra credit at the end of the year if we were able to find and log a few. Well, we didn't have a GPSr at the time, and the three or four my teacher had on hand sometimes had two-week waits on them.
Well, the premise of Geocaching that my teacher had offered piqued my interest to the point that I purchased a GPSr for myself, and my dad and I have been caching ever since. Well, admittedly, we took a year-long break, but we're back now!
Our adventures have brought us to countless local areas that we didn't even know existed. And inside places we were already familiar with, our caching has brought us to the most amazing little copses, streams, and hollows off the beaten path.
I enjoy doing deep-forest traditionals, multis, and Earthcaches with my dad. The more urban micros and mystery caches I prefer to do with a goofy group of friends. Just because it's not as fun to act a fool in public without them LOL.
When we took a year-long break from caching, I realized, when we returned to the sport, that I had little memory of all the cool places we had been in the past. I now make it a point to carry a camera with me whenever I cache.
