We'll be looking for "his" cache.
I think I met him once searching for a new cache with somewhat cagey
coordinates (I think I met several of you at that time).
But, again, felt like I had a sense him (As I do many cachers) because
of logs and definitely the occasional photo (rather jealous of the
alien picture).
When we started caching we were "following" Geo Jim around for a few
months.=20
Those smashed pennies (and army men!) were EVERYWHERE! Seeing those
items in a cache, we felt like as though we were meeting up with a
(unknown) pal at each and every cache. Usually we had a bit of
anticipation "Wonder who will have been here -- Army Men? Smashed
pennies? BOTH?" It was all we could do to convince the Kyd that those
smashed pennies were not being left specifically for her and she really
should NOT take EVERY single one of them for her collection -- that
maybe other little-girl cachers had a smashed penny collection too and
would want a special one for their book. LOL We may have ... one or two
(few?) in our "Smashed Penny" collection book.
