We ran across a rattle snake slithering across a cache on a pile of rocks. Later that same week I was reaching for a cache and I noticed just in the nick of time that a big fat black widow spider was right in front of it. Almost stuck my hand right into it. I kind of got the feeling that nature didn't want us geocaching that week. Most annoying animal we have come across is ticks...millions of ticks. Even though I don't think they count as an animal.

I was browsing Reddit.com one day and someone posted a question on what were some good hobbies to pick up. The number one response was Geocaching. I had no idea what it was so I decided to look it up. For some reason I first thought it had something to do with going around and finding geodes (man I was way off). So I pull up the main website and research it and immediately catch the bug. I was so excited about how awesome it sounded that I texted my best friend from high school/college since I knew he would love this sort of thing too. He calls me literally 10 minutes later and it turned out he was actually out finding a geocache right as I had texted him. Apparently he had received a GPS for his birthday a month before and it had a Geocaching feature preloaded onto it and that is how he discovered it and had been out geocaching for a month. So we managed to both stumble upon geocaching completely separately only about a month apart and we have both been geocaching ever since.
