+briansnat Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I found my first cache. My first hide will see its 10th anniversary in two weeks. I had no idea at the time that geocaching would become such a big part of my life and I'd meet so many new friends through the sport. It's been a fun 10 years. Thanks to all of you cache hiders out there who made it so. Quote Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 COOL! My 10th anniversary is coming up in December 2012...it's possible I might log my 10,000th find that day. Just the regular caching mostly, and then hit a couple of powertrails to kick the numbers at the last minute. Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Way to go Brian! AZcachemeister hope you can log that 10,000th cache on your 10th anniversary. Is someone saying "PARTY.............?" Quote Link to comment

Thanks to all of you cache hiders out there who made it so. Congrats! Thanks for answering the repeat forum questions over and over that many of us burned out on answering long ago. You deserve a medal. Workin' on my 9th year about 18mo. behind you. I've had pretty much the same experience. We're even close on yearly find totals. Geocaching has truly changed my life. Most of my friends are geocachers now. Some are like family. Well, some really are family. I met my wife because of geocaching even though she isn't really a geocacher and my son is a 1st generation born geocacher at 3yo. He loves it. Geocaching itself has changed while fundamentally staying the same. It has been a lot of fun with the positives way wayyy outweighing the negatives. Quote Link to comment

+Packanack Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Caching in Northern NJ would not have been same without your gentlemanly presence. Caching in general would not be the same without your presence as a patient teacher and guide to the forums. Thanks. I like to think that I pattern my game after the way you do things. To the next 10. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The first few caches I found was a few days ago and that was two years ago. I never logged those caches. Yeah? Well, I started caching in 1998 but didn't log any of those caches. Didn't start to log them until I finally joined in 2005. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I would dearly love to get out to NJ and find some of your caches. The ones that you've posted pictures of over the years look so enticing! Quote Link to comment
+W7WT Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 A highlight of my geocaching was when I found a cache of yours in Vermont. I like to find caches from what I consider the leaders in the geocaching world. I remember seeing your guidance in the early years. I am 86 and my memory isn't the greatest but I seem to remember that you had another user name back then. Anyway thanks for all your wise comments. Dick, W7WT Quote Link to comment
+TheLoneGrangers Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 congrats on 10 years!!! Very Cool! October 16th will be a full year for me, it's changed my life. I've fell in love with the outdoors, and I find myself day dreaming at work, wishing I was out on a trail somewhere or camping someplace hunting caches!! Quote Link to comment

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Noobs. Congrats! I agree... With both statements... Wow! To all the people who started caching in 2001, you are looked upon as "Older than Dirt". Congrats on having hung on for this long. May you all have another 10 happy years left in you....

+Ltljon Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 It's been a fun 10 years. Thanks to all of you cache hiders out there who made it so. Dang, 10 years for me too, didn't realize it. Has been a good ride but I've slacked off a lot. Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I found my first cache. My first hide will see its 10th anniversary in two weeks. I had no idea at the time that geocaching would become such a big part of my life and I'd meet so many new friends through the sport. It's been a fun 10 years. Thanks to all of you cache hiders out there who made it so. It has been pretty interesting, eh? Lets see, my first find was 06/02/2001, and my first cache created on 05/10/2002, but it was a virtual (back when we could still do that, eh? LOL). My first physical traditional cache was 05/12/2002, and more followed. I still maintain all my virtual and remaining physical caches (the ones not washed away by hurricanes) and still enjoy picking up a find every now and then. Since the kids grew up I go much less often, but who knows, I might just get more actice again in the future. Mac Quote Link to comment

4wheelin_fool Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Mine was 10 years ago today. I didnt have an account and just signed my name in the logbook. There is a scan of most of the original log, and it seems like I just wrote it yesterday. Back then most of the game was centered on the physical cache, such as the physical logs in the logbook and trading. Today its seems centered mostly on the numbers, stats and online logs, but it's still fun. Quote Link to comment
