Your Caching Mate.

[+Two Geeks and a GPS]

Hey Twogeeks, did you get that "Marshmallow gun" situation taken care of? Lemme know

 

Yeah Joe, got it taken care of. We found instructions in a cache in our area.

 

Thanks again.

My caching partner is my girl friend of 53 years and my bride of 47. We started on fathers day in '03 and have been having a blast ever since. A mystery ailment has slowed her down so unless we are doing a virt or a 1/1 she pretty much stays in the car and reads her book which, although she is a good sport and we keep in touch by radio, is pretty boring. I have soloed the gonzo hiking trips in the area but we are now to the point that we have cleared out all those with in 30 miles or so. While recovery has been slow, we see progress. Where 200 feet was a challenge, now a quarter mile while slow, is doable. My terminological skills are not sufficient for me to post a picture but that's just as well. You would see a fat, grey headed, old broad while I still see the cute blond in poodle skirt and bobby sox that I put the moves on at the dime dances in the 50's.

Awwww, that has to be one of the most romantic lines I have ever seen!

 

Most of you know that CR is my caching partner. We have been married for over 10 years.

 

He really is a lot easier to get along with in person than his forum posts would have you believe...

I can see why she stayed with you all those years ... that is perhaps the most moving, romantic and touching piece of prose I've read on this website. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. When I read that I was moved. I also pictured that cute blonde in a poodle skirt. You are a very insightful man...and she is a very lucky woman to have such a mate.

 

I can smell a good article for Today's Cacher.

Sissy's picture above doesn't do her justice. She doesn't like her picture taken--she always gives me "The Look."

 

This probably catches her caching personality a little better:

"Sissy" in name only. I guess now you know why it's such a challenge to keep up with her and why some people have a bit of a problem doing a couple of her caches!

 

She's the one that got me into these outdoor games, mainly out of concern for my health and to get me off the computer. We've seen a lot of neat things and great places together. She a wonderful companion, I couldn't ask for anything more. At the risk of sounding sappy, I don't know what I would do without her.

Now THAT is a nice sentiment. Reminds me of something my dad would say.

 

Yep, that would make a great article!!

[uperdooper]

either i cache alone or with 1 or both of my 2 brothers. Hysteria and shellback1138.

[+Kit Fox]

Well my wife is pregnant and doesn't share my enthusiam for hiking right now. If I'm not caching to and from work, I take my daughter Fiona with me.

[+Old Bet]

When we started out, I humored "her" by saying she was part of the Brigade. On our first few outings, the idea was to go for one of our weekend hikes, and if we happened to pass closed to a cache, I could spend a few minutes looking for it. By the third or fourth time, she took great pleasure in finding the hide while I was still trying to close in on the location by walking in circles with the GPSr. Then, I showed her the Case of the Dancing Men, a puzzle cache, and she whipped out her No. 2 pencil and solved it. On a walk two weeks ago, she complained that I was hogging the GPSr. So now, after about four months of semi-active geocaching, we have come full circle and it is she who is humoring me by letting me be part of the Brigade.

LOL !!! That is funny ...

[+Team BigW]

I had done most of my caches while at work because I figured there was no way I could talk my wife into heading out into the woods. This would be where her worst nightmare would be hanging around...spiders. After a few months of solo caching we now cache as a family. She even slogged into a swamp with me and we both came out covered in mud but laughing the whole time. Who knew? Our 7 yr old is not wild about having to play parent sometimes. Recently on a rainy, windy day he turns around to us and says 'We should head back to the car....what's wrong with you people!"

[+Pyewacket]

I'm pressed for time this month, but I was wondering if any of you would have any objections to my using your stories for Today's Cacher's series on romance (proposals, weddings, etc.). I apologize for the blanket request, but would love to print some of your posts in the magazine.

[+Moose Mob]

My caching partner, "Moose". She joins me for the easy and fun caches. Sometimes she get bored, moody, and restless. A little rest and it's "Dad, let's go geocaching!"

 

Seen here with the O.C.B. (Original Can of Beans, first cache trade item)

 

 

And of course, the newest addition to the Moose Mob. She is getting accustom to these No trail, 9 mile, level 4+ caches.

Heh, what a great story OBB! Maybe Santa should bring her a GPS for Christmas. Then you'd each have your own.

 

Team Big W, you're story made me snicker as well. Thanks for sharing.

[+SEEKER12]

If you go to this page you can see a picture of my caching and life partner, IronMan114. I know I know, it's not that great of a picture but you can enlarge it.

 

We always have fun caching together. I've made Ironman laugh a few times when the cache was "right under my nose," literally.

 

I hope he doesn't mine me posting his picture.

My caching mate is my wife, Kathy and whether it’s abseiling down a waterfall or walking for 10 hours in a snowstorm nothing puts her off finding the cache.

 

[+Mudinyeri]

Here's my little caching buddy at our most recent find Drunken Troll

 

[+Ltljon]

It's the horns, man, the horns. :P I remember you once saying in another thread that you'd like to meet me (likewise, BTW ). Does this mean it's not really me you were talking about?

 

Even as interesting as you seem, I think I'd rather meet your sister-in-law!

Now that's a caching partner!

[+G'n,G]

Here's my bro.

 

[+woody_k]

Here is a pic of my part time caching partner. I say part time because she doesn't go with me all the time. But she does let me indulge my self with this hobby. We have been married for 22 yrs and are going to Paris , France the Feb and while there she said it is o.k. to snag some caches!!

 

That is a pic of my latest T.B.

[+Milbank]

 

 

*WOW*

[+Galaad]

I NEED ONE

Same here!

Me three!

 

But I can't complain: I'm lucky. For urban caches, my dad will always come along for the ride. He's my "bodyguard" and sometimes needed diversion while I dive in a public bush to find a cache.

[+Galaad]

wait. is this thread about caching partners or caching widows? i have one of each.

 

Having met you, that is so true!

[+tls11823]

My main caching partner.

 

[+Polgara]

I used to cache with my Siberian Husky, Keetah, but we lost her this past summer.

 

I usually cache with da guys (Quest Master, Accident Prone Hiker, Salvelinus & DeskJocky), if I'm lucky Wormcatcher & Jarsalie, MissJenn, Taranwanderer RGBisme & True Indigo come along at times.

 

BUt new this year, is my ALaskan Malamute geopup, Timber. SHe's way small in this pic, but she's growing fast, and loves the water, and will be joining me caching this year!

 

 

[+trail hound]

I'm with Milbank....WOW

[+DeViDe]

My Caching Mate is my wonderful wife Vickie. We have had some great adventures.

 

 

[+ValleyRat & TillyMouse]

TillyMouse is the partner in far more than caching.
