[Az-Geocaching] New monthly record?

[Trisha Radley]

You're Welcome, Scott, and a belated congrats to Team SD as well. I just
wish I had the physical ability to do so many caches all the time. I am
creeping up there, however....my recent trip to Reno netted a number in
Nevada and Calif (so now I am at 42 total...not just AZ) and I have a new
cache partner, my fiance, who really enjoys being out together. To second
what Scott said, it is the enjoyment of doing the activity that we
like....and the feeling of accomplishment personally...and reflected in the
numbers too! :-)

<<Grin>> don't you guys WORK???? >>
