+Simply Paul Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Some very fine caches in your area. The general rule is once you've found ten you're hooked. Proceed with caution, lol! Glad you're enjoying it so far, and don't be afraid of asking any newbie questions on the forum. We're a friendly and helpful bunch most of the time Quote Link to comment
