How did you

[+Aiden's Cachers]

Chose the 2nd closest to my house, the closes was disabled at the time.

[+Boot Group]

I chose the one closest to home. It was a multi-cache, but we didn't know that multi-caches were supposed to be harder. Lucky for us, it was a nicely laid out multi, with accurate coordinates, so it was actually good newbie training ground.

[+...The Girl]

My experience was much like Boot's: I chose a multi close to home. Little did I know it was going to weave me in and out of three zip codes to gather the information needed to solve the puzzle. It's still one of my favorites and I use it as a bug drop when I need one.

Our first cache was one that Mr fuzzymum (though our family caches under a different name) thought we could do without a GPSr as we knew the area. Our eldest had been geocaching with the scouts and had brought home a TB so we needed to find somewhere to drop it off. The cache was logged under our son's account and never got logged on our family one. Since then the cache owner has moved out of town and we have adopted the cache from them - seemed kinda fitting as it was our first find.

It chose us!

 

In August, 2005 we were visiting our brother/brother-in-law/uncle (depending on which team member we're talking about) in North Carolina. It was a sunny Sunday morning and his wife said she'd watch their kids and ours and let us having a couple of hours of "fun adult alone time" with him. So he took us to this great park and showed us geocaching, using the 2 hides in this park. We then bought a GPS and started doing it with the kiddies. On the way home we did 2 virtuals in the Washington, DC area.

 

Ironically, those first finds are by far the farthest from home finds we've done to date and the only ones in a state not adjacent to our home state.

My father introduced me to geocaching when I visited them for their 50th wedding anniversary. My Mom and Dad picked a very family friendly cache for my first find. An Ammo can filled with goodies.

This was also my first TB that I moved from PA. to TX.

[+Team Geo-Joes]

I picked a virtual. I wanted something that was big enough for me to find so I wouldn't have to do a DNF on my first and get discouraged.

It was the closest one that didn't involve pushing through too much snow. I started caching in Alaska, in the winter.

I did a zip code search and found that there were three within 30-40 miles from my home. One was only a few miles away, so I looked for that one.
