Your right its like a new adventure and i love it, i can't think of a better way to keep active.
Yesterday i found my first cache and ill never forget that feeling of joy and achievement lol only a box with junk in but the fact i found it was enough of a buzz that i will remember it forever, to top it of while i was filling in the log book, a deer walks up close to me i managed to get some photos and video of it. so all in all a great experience and a great introduction to geocaching. i went on to find 3 more before i returned home
