It would be great if Sara came along. What I figured on doing was doing
Impress Me first and then just go around to other caches in the Wildwood
area (there are lots of them). So you could leave at any time after doing
as many as you want. We can keep caching until no one wants to continue. I
bet you would learn lots of tricks to finding caches by going out with a
group of experienced cachers. And it is always lots of fun.
I have not heard back from GB-Cacher yet (which is not surprising since he
is travel abroad). We cannot really finalize our plans until I hear from
him. He will be back before Friday.
If anyone wants to suggest caches we should do on the trip, feel free to.
Do people want to bring a lunch or go to a restraunt?

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?
