Jen,
I am not upset and that is what this group is for ...to ask questions about
caching and getting answers. Sorry about you getting soaked on the cache but I
hope you enjoyed the cache so far :)......when you get back shoot me an email
and let me know...I would love to walk along with you guys. It was a pleasure
meeting you and your husband at the courthouse and I hope to see you at the
Christmas party and other events soon

Dan,
Sorry for using yours as an example, didn't want to make you upset. It just
happened to be the first I thought of, since I had been out caching and had a
few to log in. Since I am new I didn't know how all of this worked.
However I was just questioning any caches that had more than one waypoint, not
just yours.
Thanks to all for setting me straight on how all this works. I didn't want to
stir things up or get people upset. Just trying to figure out how things worked.
I did look on the site first before posting and couldn't find an answer.
I do plan on finishing the "Gentle Exercise" in a week or so depending on the
weather. We got soaked on Sunday :-)
Thanks
Jen
