[GeoStL] Re: Hi Y'all

Mike, welcome to our little newsgroup. It has always been a pleasure talking
to you about caching as I can see the excitement come alive every time we
talk. If you do make your way down to St. Louis for a caching day, be sure
to let us know here on the newsgroup and we have put together group hunts in
the past on 2 days notice. Yesterday, RGS had a group cache that he
announced over the weekend. We had 10 people show up on a moments notice! I
would like to tag along with you if you make it this way..

Thanks for your support and enthusiasm!
