Your dilemma about placing a long distance cache in NC can be easily
resolved with a little patience on your part. Simply introduce your
friends and family in NC to geocaching and get them hooked, too! You
can then place a cache together, but only after you have each found a
number of caches. Those pesky approvers get pretty sticky on this
point. ;)
BTW, congratulations on your first finds! (Ain't the SLAGA page great?)
