As a newbie, what is the appeal for me? Searching for something that's not really known to me and then finding it--it was like finding a hidden Christmas present. Honoring my friend's memory. Going to new places. Trying something new (I had never done any sort of navigation before today). Being outside. Those things appeal to me.
I went geocaching for the first time today. I first heard about geocaching about a year and a half ago from a friend of mine--she and her fiance loved to go geocaching on weekends. Sadly, they both died in a car accident a little over a year ago.
About a week ago I decided I wanted to try geocaching. So I educated myself a little and today I headed out and found my first two caches!
