the tapir Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I'm starting to get the impression that the proportion of expat Yanks in the British geocaching community is higher than that in the general UK population. An expat Yank, the tapir Quote Link to comment

the tapir Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Just a clarification: I meant that Yank expats had a proportional greater representation among UK geocachers than among the UK population as a whole, not that there were more Yanks than Brits geocaching in the UK. As for the eccentricity ... well, that's why I like it here ... I feel I fit right in! And, hey, while I've got your attention, check out my first cache placement at: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=17966 What do you think? (Yes, that was the real reason for posting this 'clarification' ... the American instinct for self-promotion dies hard.) Cheers! the tapir Quote Link to comment

+mdshamilton Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I was born in the USA to British parents - so two passports... I lived in the US for 15 yrs, before returning to Blighty. My best friend in the US introduced me to Geocaching....so I guess I count as an American. Mark, Matthew & Christopher Quote Link to comment

+page28 Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Just wondering, How many geocachers are currently stationed over here ? ( like Hikingbare) Quote Link to comment
