Thanks for the congrats on the #500 milestone! This month of April marks my First Anniversary since joining this geocaching habit. During this first year I have found these 500 caches in 9 states, two countries and in the District of Columbia. I have met great people who like me enjoy this hobby, but also like me; can't explain why. I have spent time hiking mountains, exploring new areas and traveling roads that I never would have if not for geocaching. Not since being a young boy have I had cuts, bruises, blisters, sunburn, sore muscles and poison oak - all at the same time. Life is good!
