Seriously Geocaching means several things to us, but most importantly it has created a common bond between us and my son hkyplr.

Also, being a lover of the outdoors, but not always having a "plan" when spending time outdoors, now all we have to do is plug in a few bits of information, have geocaching.com do the thinking for us, and presto, we know where to go, and why. We love the challenge of finding the caches and the element of surprise after finding them; what is in it, who has been there prior etc.

During our free time, we no longer start the day by saying "what do you want to do today?" "I don’t know, what do you want to do" "Well, we could go for a drive somewhere…"……you get the picture. Now, if time allows, we are generating a geocaching plan which usually includes all or most of the things that we enjoy. We are spending time in nature, driving and/or hiking, or better yet riding our motorcycles. We usually find some new place to eat, and ALWAYS find some wonderful out of the way places and roads in nature that before Geocaching were well kept secrets. Thanks fellow geocachers for sharing your favorite places with us. And thanks to hkyplr for turning us on to geocaching to begin with. OH, and thanks for starting this website it is great so far!

I have a great time when we go – though I don't think I have ever found one for myself – well, Ryan did "let" me find one near home. I think that Ryan has made it his mission to find every cache in the world – at least in Colorado! So, sometimes, geocaching means not seeing my husband for a few hours! ha-ha-ha.

I think that it is a great family-friendly sport. I look forward to our son being older so that he can become a more active participant. The thing I appreciate most about it – other than the time with my family, is the way it leads us to places I never knew existed. Just the places we have found near our home amazes me. We have found great parks and recreation areas we never would have known of otherwise. We will be able to enjoy those areas and the ones we have yet to find for years to come.
I guess I need to get my own geo-name so I can start logging my own finds!! I travel quite a bit for work, I may just have to give Ryan a run for his money!

My occupation is Truck Driver and that is what brought me to geocaching, in a round about way. On March 30, 2006 I was in a very serious accident in Northern California, almost died. I lost my GPS, along with a lot of other stuff in the accident. When I got home and started putting things back together I was looking for a new GPS unit on the Garmin website when I came across the geocaching page. It sounded like a lot of fun so I created an account and brought it to the attention of my Mom and her fiance (PoolRoom). This accident has given me the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my wife and son that I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise, and of course the time to hunt geocaches. Me, my wife, my son (born June 2005) and our dog really enjoy this. We look forward to the exercise and the thrill of the hunt. Now we are hiding our own caches so look out.

I have many hobbies: Motorcycles, racquetball, baseball, softball, golf, Ice and Inline hockey, hunting, camping and uhhh, oh yeah, geocaching. I have become addicted to the point that I am starting my own website on geocaching. www.totalgeocaching.com. We will see what becomes of it.

I wish I would have known about geocaching when I was out on the road. It definitely would have helped break up the boredom. I have been married to a great woman for the last 2 years. We have a son, who has changed our lives in ways I cannot explain, and a dog, Justice, who loves to walk.

The thing I like about geocaching is it can be whatever you want it to be. You can be in it for the number of caches found, you can be in it for the number of caches hidden. Collecting geocoins can be your thing. Finding and moving trackables along can float your boat. There are caches out there for everyone, from a 5×5 rating to a 1×1 rating. Handicapped, children, dogs it doesn’t matter, all are welcome. The only thing that matters is that you treat other people and their property with respect.
