- Welcome aboard Sara, You have gotten in with a great bunch of people and I think you will enjoy caching a lot. If you can make a group hunt it is great experience and you will receive a lot of help (well except for the poor guy in Columbia :D) As you can see from the list we love to joke around and to cache. Hope to meet you sometime on a cache hunt. Dan (Thunder) PS: the guy in Columbia was a first time cacher that was surprised by 4 CARLOADS of cachers descending on him at once. I really think he enjoyed the hunt and experience but it was a bit overwhelming for his first time :) --- Sara Carter <beancounter2b@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi everyone.......... > > Sorry I haven't done an intro sooner, I joined the > group Sunday and decided to wait till all the "me > too" hub bub died down a bit before saying anything. > Anyways this geocaching concept is totally new to > me, I'm hoping to get my first find this weekend, if > not it'll have to wait till the following weekend. > I think I'm gonna start with either Suburban Oasis > or Beginning of the End since they are both pretty > close to my house, might even hit them both the same > day who knows.
