I'm on the Olympic Peninsula in WA state and just heard about the beauty of geocaching a couple of weeks ago. There seem to be quite a few sites in my zone, but then a lot of them are virtual. Even the "real treasure" caches don't seem to be visited that often though. I scored a geocoin that was left several weeks before, on a cache we found last weekend. What a cool find!
P.S. I started a chat room in MSN for "Pacific Northwest Geocachers"! Come join me and visit awhile and lend me some of your experience! Woo Hoo!
