It is definitely hot down here.. though I remember
many a hot summer days in St. Louis, you sure do miss
the cool (at least they seem that way after
experiencing Houston nights) summer nights. Caching
activity during the day is almost impossible.
I'm patient and from the e-mail activity cognizant of
the high level of activity. Love the HFH idea, though
I see the virtue of the noncache rating, what better
way for people of like interest to share life. A tool
cache (or would it be a swap?) associated with the
event might improve the chances of getting listed and
would be cool too. Take a hammer... come home with a
saw.
This is my first virtual cache, and without the
opportunity for another geocacher to claim, I may not
have done this, but I have and will continue to seek.
Maybe can attempt during a visit.
Thanks for your response.
