[Az-Geocaching] A different Wow

[Gale]

You know, some of my fond memories of caching are late night raids to snag a first to find in the summer, or just to grab a late night cache. I recall meeting Highway Havoc around midnight at one cache, Tamos Clan Destiny and 8 Feet at Patriotic Cache. Another time, we saw Randman at a late night run. Magical Memories at another....too many to count. Really tho, geocaching is just fun for us. Hopefully we will enjoy the new website/ game groundspeak is putting out there too.

We too were obsessed with geocaching and the numbers for quite awhile, but after stepping back a little, realized that in the whole realm of things, this doesn't mean squat. We now enjoy going after caches that we really "want" to pursue, instead of just going after caches to add to our numbers. We exceeded our personal goals and realized just how compulsive/obsessive this game can be. Of course, where we are located right now, we probably couldn't get 20-25 caches in a day, anyway. Geocaching is supposed to be "fun", and I think some of you have seemed to lost sight of that. There's plenty of other things to do out there, and maybe some of you who spend hours on the computer everyday, should keep that in mind. The best days I ever had in Geocaching have been the days where myself, AJ.JR, Sprocket, Highway Havoc, Malcolm of
 Taylor's Tomb Raiders, RTW, and various other cachers have taken tough hikes to beautiful places and gotten only one cache in a day. Sharing the day with your friends in the outdoors is what it's all about. It seems anymore that the the majority of posts on the listserv have nothing to do with caching or discussing geocaching, but are more of a social nature. If thats the direction the listserv is heading ,than so be it. I've never shyed away from expressing my opinion, and Jeff has stated how HE feels about co-FTF's, which is only HIS opinion. I'm sure Jeff has other things going on in his life right now, but it's really nobody elses business. Also,Trisha has other things going on in her life right now that are a lot more important than geocaching and I would guess she's put things into perspective. Just let it go and move on to something else, like the next pizza event or whatever.............
