Thanks so much! Will register and try my "personal ad" there.

The best way I have found to get with some other cachers is to start making it a HIGH priority to go to any and all events that come up in the area, and talk with other cachers you will develop relationships, you will find out quick who the cachers are you want to go out with, and unfortunately the ones that you won't, and then from there will have several different cachers to go out with. I have done many caches in Beaverton, Aloha and surrounding areas don't you just love Baradam's caches........LOL Have Fun Scubasonic You mean all geocachers aren't awesome people I would love to hang out with lol? I am pretty easy going and could probably put up with anybody for one time, but your take on it does make sense. I haven't done many of Baradam's but do see his name pop up alot. I will say that Tanasbourne series seems pretty evil as I don't see when I could do most of them without being seen!

I really like to take photos when I go. I have a pretty big camera, so I can always just act like I am taking some type of art shot.

Well, I'm hooked. I think that might be putting it mildly. I am currently on Day 18 of finding at least one a day since the day I started! And I have all sorts of dorky ideas already about starting collections and making a craft as my "calling card". But I still get frustrated with alot of DNFs. Mostly those stupid micros LOL. Even when it says they are easy. Maybe I just shouldn't bother with them! Anyway, I see alot of people talking about going out hunting with others and thought it would be great to find a more experienced buddy who could maybe encourage me with the little ones. I live in the Aloha area but am willing to travel around town. The only catch is, I have two small children, so scheduling could be tricky or you must like kids. To be honest, I would rather do something like this without my 5 year old, as he doesn't have much interest in micros. My toddler likes to stay with me though. She is pretty easy going and likes to say things like "Let's go find it!" "We did it!" and "Put it back" lol. If I want to come alone, it would probably have to be on a weekend. Thanks for reading and looking forward to meeting some local folks in real life! PS I can't go to the Papa's thing as I have a previous engagement that night.
