Initially I heard about the game as a kid in the scouts but you know kids, in one ear and out the other. Then a little over a year ago my coworker (nastychef) brought it up as he had just came in from caching. Well I looked up the app, went out to find my first cache, and failed. Spent an hour walking in circles in the woods. A week or so later I gave it another shot, while I was digging about in some bushes a film canister attatched to a string bopped me on my forehead. That was the moment I decided I can't give this up. (I did wind up finding that first cache, a year later two feet from where I was searching)
