keith1h Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I purchased a GPS unit because I kept getting lost while mountain biking in the back roads of Alabama. I am amazed to discover this world of Geocaching and was completely taken by surprise that I have probably ridden within feet of some caches and never even knew it. It does however, explain some of the people I've noticed in odd areas. Quote Link to comment

keith1h Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 I was going to say it explained some of the odd people I saw in some areas, but wasn't sure how that would be received... Quote Link to comment
+arpegio Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Wait until you think an odd person is a geocacher and they're not.. then it gets creepy. Quote Link to comment
ALPINE-X Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I know how you feel, my first cache was about 500 feet from my front door, I have walked by it on a regular basis for almost 2 years, without a clue it was there.... Quote Link to comment

I shared your sense of awe aobut the vast numberof GC's I had passed on a regular basis w/o even knowing they were there including - across the street from my church, near a grocery store I visit often, 800 ft away from my door at work. It's freaky and kinda hoo-hoo! Hope you enjoy it as much as I and I'm sure the rest of us have. Quote Link to comment

I also found a few "Chiggers" and have decided that geocaching is probably more fun with long pants... Quote Link to comment

+Civisi Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) I drove past this one power-line pole many, many times, and most of the time I noticed a bright orange tag with numbers on it. I didn't think anything of it because, well, poles are numbered. But I discovered this past weekend that the orange "tag" is a hint to a multi-cache. It's odd what you notice after you start Geocaching... Edited September 20, 2006 by Civisi Quote Link to comment

It's odd what you notice after you start Geocaching... I share your sentiments. My kids (The Crew) and I started this GC stuff just last week, and were amazed at the number of caches in our area. We have found several within 10km of the house. We look forward to doing some travelling across Canada just to GC. (working for an airline doesn't hurt, either) Jester & Crew Quote Link to comment
