 Bigdog421 When did you start Geocaching? I started in January 2006. When did you start Geocaching? I officially started on April 24, 2007 with Head for the hills! right in my backyard[/size][/color] How did you learn about caching? it's quite a long story so you might want to get something to eat so you don't starve as you read this! It really All starts with bigdog927. He was working on his brother's Eagle scout project at the Narrows and a cacher walked by and dropped a paper with all his coordinates. They got to talking and that's what got bigdog927 hooked. I met him in high school and we got to be friends and he took me on two occasions to geocache, the first of which was unsuccessful. The second time we were working on another Eagle project at the Narrows and we had some down time. So we made the trek to Way Back! We incurred nature's wrath of limbs falling on us and gashing us up a bit! At least we found it...but I still wasn't hooked. Then, on that fateful Monday in April, we got a surprise extension to spring break with a power outage. So we took the opportunity to go caching in Xenia. We only found a few, but I thought it was a cool idea. Somehow, that experience was just enough to get me to go buy a Garmin. And I've never looked back since. What was it about geocaching that got you hooked into the game? I'm not quite sure but I think it has something to do with the fact that I go out looking for things that the general public passes everyday, and never even notices. It also brings me to places and new parks that I might never have found or known of without caching. What kind of equipment used (PDA, Garmin, Magellan, software)? I use a Garmin etrex...and before you laugh at it, it has gotten me to over 1200 caches so far and STILL working (despite a few spills...well quite a bunch actually!) What are your all-time favorite cache/S and or adventure while caching? All-time favorite is a very hard word to describe. Three caches come to mind, two of which are for the hide itself and one is for the adventure to find it. I have a tie for all time favorites: No strength required, just ingenuity 2 and Willard's Walk. There have been plenty of others, like my favorite terrain Ammo with a problem but none come close to one that is sitting over 100ft. above you and one that can stop you in your tracks with a scream then laughter. Now my best adventure was Hail to OHSilky! It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the hide itself, the only key was direction. I was out with bigdog927 tackling Grant Park, and well WE decided to make this one...FUN! Here's my log: One star hide. Definitely true. 2.5 terrain. FALSE, by the bigdog scale! Well, we had just come from Coin Collecter and were looking to find the last one in this great park. We didn't feel like crossing there and we thought maybe it IS on the side we are on this time! Well, it wasn't. We were getting 37' across the creek. Well, we saw this rock pile and though, that would be a GREAT place to hide it...it wasn't there. We pretty much got drenched below the knees for that mistake. We were not 1) going to recross and 2) were not going to retrace our steps...so of COURSE we climbed up that steep grade. There was an old, broken string of fence line that I used to Maneuver up with as 927 just looked on. Luckily, there was no covering on the cache so it boosted my hopes. I got to it, not much dirtier than when I had begun...927 on the other hand was a muddy sight to see! lol Thanks for the experience. Definitely a favorite just for that! With whom do you normally go geocaching? bigdog927, just4peter (it's my fault for just4peter's addiction anyway!), and sometimes my parents and nephews (who keep asking when they can go treasure hunting again!) Have any "Most embarrassing Geo-moment" you would like to share? Details please! Whenever I go with bigdog927, we usually go places that I have sort of already been to as I am a bit more addicted than he is. So I bring him to hides that I couldn't find and he usually finds them in record time. The worst was Teddyesque. I had been there well over 10 times putting over 2+ hours into this one hide getting clues from every angle to no avail. I take bigdog927 here for his first time. Give him the clue...FOUND IT! In mere seconds of being at the GZ....he found it...the worst part was when we got back into the car, the SAME song was playing on the radio from when we got OUT! UGH! What are some things you don't like about geocaching? What are your pet peeves? My pet peeves are caches that are disabled for seemingly FOREVER. I also hate it when I am in an area caching for the day and when I get home there is a NEW cache right where I was! UGH! How did you decide on your caching name?
