Sara,
Group hunts can last any amount of time. You are always free to come and go
when you need to. If you need to show up late, we often trade cell phone
numbers and get connected that way.
Not to scare you, but the first group hunt I went on was to Columbia and lasted
about 15 hours, but that's not the norm. It was an absolute blast, and I
believe we found over a dozen caches. This one on Sunday will be much shorter,
I'm sure!

Susan thanks for the invite for the group hunt sunday morning. How long do
the group hunts usually last? I'd love to go, but with my fiance's work
schedule he works every other weekend and this is his weekend off so I'm not
sure how easily i can get away. I've mentioned hunting to him and he doesn't
seem interested, so i doubt bringin him along is much of an option. I'll try
to make it but can't make any promises at this point (would be cool to find a
bunch of caches on my first day, hehe)

Welcome to the group, Sara. You have joined up with the friendliest, most
fun people around. You may have noticed in the messages that there is a group
hunt planned for Sunday out around Wildwood. That means we set a place and
time to meet and then whoever wants to go just shows up there. Watch this
newsgroup for details. Then it's off to find caches and swap caching stories
(at least until Bernie says "Are we gonna hunt caches or just talk about
hunting caches?").
If you are able to come along, you'll have a great time and learn a lot
about GPS and cache hunting.
If not, there's always next time.
Susan

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?
