Figured I should probably say a quick hello to everybody out there!
About a year ago while walking up Baldwin st, Dunedin, New Zealand (my home town) I bumped into this fellow who had a GPS and got talking to him (sadly I'm not sure of his username on here). I had heard of Geocaching but never really thought about it. He offered to show me and we walked to the top of the street and sure enough, within a few seconds he had cache in hand and logged his find. I thought that was pretty cool but once again never thought anymore of it! About 4 days ago now I was listening to the radio and they were talking about Geocaching and they gave the geocaching.com website so I thought I'd take a look and see if there were any geocaches near my house. Well, I wasn't expecting the 7 or so within 5km and the hundreds upon hundreds littered throughout the whole city!!!
I already had a GPS so I figured I had nothing to lose and I put in the coordinates for what would be my first find and the start of a new adventure for not only me but my wife who tagged along!
I now have 6 finds and I just want to thank everyone who hides and maintains caches all over the world!
