+Robespierre Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi, BG92, I'm trying to remember 12, Oh, yea, that's the guys I sometimes teach who forget to do their homework. Homework first, then caching. (your parents made me say that). Quote Link to comment
+smullis Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Welcome! I'm fairly new too...just starting in Mar 04....I'm a bit older than 13 though...but that's just proof that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I have a great time geocaching. Just today I got to educate a muggle on the sport. It's funny to see the looks on their faces when you come busting out of the bushes. Edited September 20, 2004 by smullis Quote Link to comment

+AuntieWeasel Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 When I was twelve, the hot new technology was the hand-held calculator. A good one was over $100 (which was, like, a jillion dollars then), but I took a photography course at a local community college, so I was eligible for the student discount. Only forty bucks, for a real calculating machine! Why, it was practically a computer! My first calculator was the size of a brick, had to be plugged into the wall, and it added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. It was the coolest thing ever. I think it's still packed in a box some place and, last I checked, it still worked. Make sure you run your fingers through every technology that passes your way. Quote Link to comment
+GreyingJay Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I work with kids at summer camp and church youth group, and a few weeks ago I took a 13-year-old with me caching. It was the first time he'd ever heard of it. We had a great time and now he can't stop talking about when the next time we'll go out will be, or what's in the area near his house. It will be fun to take him out again, and we have another friend (also from camp, 14 years old) that I can't wait to introduce to this game. I also have a friend who has two daughters, 13 and 15, and we'll hopefully all be hitting the trails some weekend "Real Soon Now"... There's just something fascinating about a hike in which a little electronic gizmo is telling you where you should go. Quote Link to comment

lowracer Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Sometimes my wife says I act like I'm 12. I think if geocaching were available when I was 12 I'd have been out there hiding and finding. We didn't have GPS back then, because in that year they had only just gotten the idea for it. It wouldn't be until I turned 16 that the first GPS satellite was launched, and by then I was only interested in borrowing the family car to go on dates. Quote Link to comment
+Smitherington Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I am at least 12 and I love geocaching. I am glad you were exposed to this craziness and I am sure you will love it too. Quote Link to comment

O sure, Auntie, next you'll expect us to believe that music came on plastic plates with grooves that you dropped a needle in! (actually, I think I had that same calculator!) OT, welcome to geocaching, BG92! Have all the fun you want, just don't be surprised if you read about some folks in here who think others aren't playing the game right! Quote Link to comment
