Team Kender Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Congratulations and welcome to your new addiction! I remember when I found my first cache and thought, "whoah, what a freaky clandestin secret this is!". I love being sneaky in the face of the rest of the world Team Kender - "The Sun is coming up!"

+BadAndy Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 I'm new to the sport also, very fun, very addictive. Being a gearhead, I'm particularly suseptable to cool gadgets. LaterGators
+mrmnjewel Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Congrats and happy hunting! It's a lot of fun. We're looking forward to cooler weather and being able to go more often and do more in a day than the heat currently encourages. The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

+evergreenhiker! Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Congrats on your First Find. That first one is will always be remembered. I videotaped my first find and looked at it a year to the day I found it. Funny seeing how elated I was. Be warned, this is an addicting hobby, but you'll meet a lot of nice people and make some new friends.
+Alan2 Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 OK I'll bite. WHo's on the right side of the picture? Happy huntin' ALan
+quills Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Congrats on your first find. Like most everyone said welcome to the addiction. I was in your shoes a couple of short weeks ago. I logged my first find and have been going strong ever since. I'm hoping to hit find number 25 tommorow. Not too bad considering I've been at it for 2 weeks. Have fun and don't get discouraged. Try the easy ones first. I have a specific cache in mind for number 25 tommorow. It will be my toughest find to date. "If you mess with a Porcupine you might just get the quills. LOL I just had to say that"

+Alan2 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Let me tell you a story about photos cut in half. Thirteen years ago after I broke up with my post divorce girlfriend, my sis suggested I place an ad in New York Magazine's personals. As a lark I did and received about 200 responses, many with pictures. One of the pictures had a very pretty girl on the left with the right side cut off like yours. It turned out that person was her girlfriend, not her cousin like you. Anyway, I subsequently married her 3 years later. The one on the left I mean. Like I said, happy huntin'. Alan
AuntGiGi Posted July 27, 2003 Author Posted July 27, 2003 I assure you it was my cousin. I am very much a heterosexual "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today"-James Dean

You are now on the road to some great adventuers with a group of individuals that love the great outdoors and as you can tell they also love to shoot the bull in more than oneway. Congrats again on your first find. Be Safe. Good Caching. Hope To Meet You On The Trail SomeDay.

AuntGiGi Posted July 29, 2003 Author Posted July 29, 2003 LOL! AuntGiGi got this thread hoppin! Let the games begin! Going now to hunt! Gonna go ALL DAY tomorrow, if I can figure out how to get to the darn location to look. I know the coordinates but when I see the Mapquest map, I am the type of person that needs an address or road name to go on....Any suggestions? I am such a nerd! "Dream as if you'll live forever.

+briansnat Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 When you get the Mapsource mapping software for your Legend (if you don't already have it), finding your way will be a breeze. For now, click on the link to the Topozone and Mapquest maps on the cache page. They will be a big help. "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
