If any of you have read my profile, you'll see that I am also into
herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians. And, it was through
that hobby that I first learned about geocaching (I stumbled across a
cache while snake hunting). I thought the game sounded great so, I
posted a message about it on one of my favorite forums @ Kinsnsnake.com
& man did I ever get blasted by the tree huggers there; the general
consensus was that by giving out exact coordinates to places of beauty
that geocaching was going to be the ruin of all existing natural
areas, especially those in the "FRAGILE" south-west, by allowing Joe Six
Pack to visit areas he wouldn't have otherwise known about & throw beer
cans & trash all over the place. Another argument was that geocaching in
and of it self was just glorified littering!
Oh well, to each his own I guess...
God bless!
Eric
