Started geocaching late in 2003. I came across geocaching.com by accident and mentioned it to my girlfriend. Thought she might like it since we both like to go on walks and short hikes but were running out of ideas of where to go. Geocaching seemed like it might solve that problem. Pick a cache from the list and go find it, what could be more simple? So I told the girlfriend about geocaching and she looked at me like I was nuts but she checked out the website and said "let's go". Had a gps that has been sitting on a shelf for the last couple years. Dusted it off, found a nearby cache and off we went. Both of us have been hooked ever since.
