Senjion

I have to agree that she sounded foolish, driving a Subaru Outback is certainly not contributing to the environment... however she should be entitled to her opinion. Many of you are just as if not MORE so ignorant than she was in her little letter. Amateur can mean something as simple as saying that the activity is a hobby, that you don't get paid for it, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are bad at it or don't know what you are talking about... If you want her to change her outlook on GeoCaching, then do something to prove that we aren't just leaving junk lying around.

Some of, if the the most challenging caches I have been to have been Micros, now don't get me wrong, I haven't found that many caches however Geocaching is for everyone with many different tastes, not just those who want to climb that mountain or hike that trail. I have gotten a few friends into GeoCaching because of Micros, they find one that is well concealed or has some imagination behind it and say; "Wow, that was neat". Walking around looking for Micros will eventually turn into hiking and climbing for them. Micros are a good stepping stone and a way to get those who would normally say; "I would go but I can't climb that rockface or crawl through that cave" to agree to come along and catch the fever!

How about: "CITO Means he carries the doggy bag." "GPS: Global Position Sniffer." "He gets the walk, I get the find." Have a picture of a dog's head with a Tracker Bug tag on the collar and below it put "TBK-9"
