Ok I am doing this survey for this reason: I have associated with people =
that will remain non Cachers as I was unable to satisfy many of their =
questions, though I and my Caching partner are unique and will continue =
as long as we are able too. I thought lastnight as I was midnight =
caching why not get some general information from my fellow cachers. I =
don't intend on using any of the information for any other purpose than =
that, but haven't you ever wondered???
