+nscaler Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 At my company we have several geocachers. Myself, Jaxxom, KF6CMP, KF6OFU, Old Frenchy(who got me started in this endeavor), smallforiam and two others I don't know their "handles". That is eight with a couple more interested. Any body with more than this? nscaler "Anyone not here, raise your hand!". Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I work with a lot of people, and none geocache that I'm aware of. Of course, I haven't made it all that public that I'm a geocacher either... maybe I'm surrounded and I don't even know it, although given my geocaching name, anyone that knows me could probably figure it out.

+yrium Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 So If I apply for a job at your company I should definitly write down GEOCACACHING under hobbies? The people at my work like to hear about my geocaching adventures but so far no-one has asked to come along. --- yrium --- Quote Link to comment
solohiker Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I have hooked two co-workers. Oddly they do not log their finds online or in the logbooks. I am not sure they really search that often, but I know they both bought GPS units. I got my sister hooked. She is shopping for a GPS. She asked me why most caches were in remote locations. I told her it was probably, because most folks bought a GPS to navigate in the wilderness or on water, before geocaching was invented. I bought mine before SA was turned off. Quote Link to comment
+nscaler Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 I found a cache with KF6OFU last week. It was placed by smallforiam. I do not think "geocaching" would help on any job application- except geocaching.com of course. nscaler "Anyone not here, raise your hand!". Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I've placed a number of caches around where I work. Cacher ScouterGeorge e-mailed me and asked if I happened to work in the area. Turns out we work for the same comany, on the same office campus (but different buildings). And he turned his co-worker, WatchungWomen on to Geocaching, so now there are at least 3 in my ocompany at my location. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I regularly geocache with one of my coworkers (who also happens to be my roommate). I've geocached with one other coworker, he has horses and has threatened to ride off into BLM land and hide caches to challenge me Anouther coworker has geocached *without* a GPS and has found several caches. Our CEO's son (between 9 and 11 years old) was playing in a park where a cache was located and found it, traded something for a dollar bill that was inside Happy kid! Quote Link to comment

Couch_Potato Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I have no co-workers that geocache. Of course, right now I have no co-workers at all, I'm unemployed. I'm not lost! I just don't know where I am. Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 When our staff was in Washington, DC last month for the National Day of Prayer, we headed out on a Friday to go sight-seeing. Since we had no real agenda on what to see and what not to see, I let my GPS be our guide. We hit several really nice Virtuals and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Here we are at one of the caches . . enjoying the presence of a mind equal to our own (collectively). Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

+Byron & Anne Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 None of my co-workers or cow-orkers geocache. Byron Quote Link to comment
Anton Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 As far as I am aware, there are three geocachers at OCM-BOCES in Syracuse, NY. Wish there were more! Anton, N2RUD Quote Link to comment
skydiver Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 There's three of us actively geocaching, and I think a few more will start eventually. The three of us who do make no secret of it. We make a point of talking aloud about what we're doing and how much fun we're having. BTW, I take credit for bringing one into the sport, and he and I brought in the third together just by talking about it. --- Two paths diverged in a wood, and my... my GPSr pointed dead center between them. --- Quote Link to comment
+Wander Lost Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I've had a few curious co-workers wondering what I'm doing with my gps half the day. (the other half I'm reading the forums ) No bites yet, but we did get my sister hooked and we're working on several other family members. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people??

+VegasCacheHounds Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Well, I just got started on this great sport two weekends ago, and I've been discussing it with a co-worker thats an outdoor nut. As soon as he buys a GPS, he's in. Also, just yesterday he came and led me to our new satellite engineers office....turns out that this last weekend was him and his wifes first time! He didn't even know that I was now hooked as well. Shannon VegasCacheHounds Quote Link to comment
+Minex Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Bleh, none of my friends or coworkers have ever heard of Geocaching. I've tried to introduce them to it, but so far, no one has gotten hooked. I've taken several friends with me on a few caches but I guess they aren't the outdoors type. Quote Link to comment

Sea Wolf Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I just got into caching myself (logged first 2 caches last night!), although I have lurked around here for a couple of months. I have 2 co-workers that are thinking seriously of joining me and at least one or two more who think it sounds like fun, but probably won't get into it. Quote Link to comment
chloew Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Just one coworker that I know of, but the company being rather large (~2000) there may be a few more that I don't know of. The one I do know got into it totally independent of me and one day noticed my login and e-mailed me. Quote Link to comment
+jaxxom Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 What the heck nscaler is talking about me again. Yes we have at least 10 people now geocaching at our work, but somehow never together hmmmmmmm........ Quote Link to comment
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I have a former co-worker who caches now (Jake - Team A.I), and a couple good work friends interested in doing it. In fact, one will hopefully be joining me on a day-long marathon in Wickenburg early next week. Brian Team A.I. Quote Link to comment
+opey one Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I work with a bunch of dead-beats. Therefore, I have no co-workers to go caching with. Quote Link to comment
+GeneralBracket Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I don't think any of my "co-workers" are smart enough. Actually, I often times wonder how they are able to maintain consciencness. I actually have no "co-workers". I'm the boss. But they're still dumb as dirt. Quote Link to comment
