Sara, I live right on the edge of Overland in Sycamore Hills. There is a cache in Heman Park also that is extremely easy. Airebolis walker 2 or something like that. It was my first find. I actually found it with out the use of a GPS. $piritwing 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. Thanks for the info on the the easier ones in St. Charles, I'm out there almost daily even though I live in Overland. Anyways, back to a bit about me........I am 23 and have a 3 year old daughter (millenium baby 1/1/01). I currently work full time (accounting area), carry a 9 hour college load, and have joint custody of my daughter. Plan to be married in the spring. As far as my other interests, they include reading, hiking, fishing, floating, biking, cooking, spending time with friends and doing the best I can for my daughter despite the joint custody deal untill it goes back to court in 2005 (after I finish school). Hopefully after the next few weeks I will be able to happily add Geocaching to my list of hobbies that I enjoy in my free time. Any thing I forgot to include or that anyone else would like to know? Please feel free to ask. Also is there someplace that I can read archived group messages? Sara P.S. Since I just found out about bookcrossing.com (releasing books into the wild) is it a good or bad idea to leave books in caches? I have a huge box of books I was thinking about doniating to the local library then thought about bookcrossing.com. Any other suggestions of good treasures for a newbie to leave in a cache? Edwin G.
