2 or 3 years ago,the son of a friend of mine showed us a cache hidden in a place we like to picnic frequently. Didn't think much about it at the time ( the old " must be a silly kids game " thing. )
Life went on...
Then my DH ( dear husband ) bought me an iphone this past spring, after a bad health scare I had. Goofing with it, I found an app on it which I ended up buying. Curiosity led me here to Geocaching.com. I found out we live live in a "cache haven " Became a premimum member, and the rest is history.
Due to work and family constraints, I'll never be a power cacher, but just to get out it in the woods again ( used to backpack a lot BC before children ) has been incredible. Have even revisited old haunts I hung out as a teenager ( for very different reasons )
Oh and the hubby bought me a Garmin Dakota 20 for my birthday last month. Best.gift.ever! I've done more caching in the months where I normally hibernate indoors.
My body thanks me now and my mind as well.......
