[Az-Geocaching] Memories of geocaching days gone by

[Jared Ross]

"Those days, you had to drive many miles across town to find one cache."

I bet it was all up-hill both ways too. lol just messing with ya. We've only been in the game a little over a year (and I know it had already changed so much) but even we have noticed certain things that have changed. But hey, things never seem to be the same after that first time. I can remember all the excitement Heather and I had on our first day of caching (we found 10 that day without a GPS unit), it was such a rush!

And then we had to make our way back up the hill through 10 inches of snow, barefoot, and no coats. Ahhh... the good old days.

Congratulations to our two newest members!

I wasn't going to vote Scott (Ropingthewind) into the club until he found
the Water Ranch cache, but I see he finally got the right 'marks' so the
passes the test. ;-)

Wow. Does this all bring back some memories! I happened to do a search on 
Google and a link to this page came up. "the big 100 mark". Wow, and we used 
to think that was a big thing to get to 100. Back in 2002, it did indeed 
take alot of hiking and traveling around to find 100 caches. Today, you can 
find 100 caches in a day... without leaving the east valley (and probably 
the air conditioned comfort of your car!). Those really were the days. Every 
cache find was a quality cache and with each one, I couldnt wait to get into 
the outdoors and find another one. Those days, you had to drive many miles 
across town to find one cache. There were no 'questionable' caches in terms 
of location and private property issues and police questioning what you were 
doing and all that stuff!

Like everything else.. this game has really changed over the years!
