Well we all know it is addicting,
I never thought I would spend my free time driving around looking for dollar store items hidden on top of mountains
under a bunch of rocks.
I think my two sons would prefer that I go out Geocaching more without them, instead of dragging them along.

I've decided not to worry about the cache karma. I have my ammo can but I
just haven't devised an evil enough plan on where to hide it. Also with the
number of new caches being hid; are there too many right now? I still have
165 caches within 100 mile radius I haven't tried yet.
As for my string of finds ... well I find myself out of work and as Scott
put it "That ol' boy just has too much time on his hands!". My initial plan
for March was 3 a day, but then I figured why not go for 100. Even when I
was in Indiana on a job interview; I made time for caching. But all good
things must come to an end so after March I do plan to slow down or my wife
will be very very angry. Something about never being around to help with
the kids.
So Wyle can rest, for his #1 rating in Arizona shouldn't be in jeopardy..at
least I don't think so.
