It seems to me there is some confusion between 'Old School' and 'Old
Guard'.<br>
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't 'Old School' denote an attitude
about a particular activity, whereas 'Old Guard' would reference those
who were the pioneers in said activity?<br>
Definitely an 'Old School' attitude here, but not really 'Old Guard'
since I started on 12/8/2002.<br>

I guess I would say "old school" are those that started in the 2001 to
2003 range.</pre>

<div>I guess I qualify. I started caching in late September 2002.
Although, I consider myself part of the "second generation" of Arizona
geocachers. There were (and still are) a handful of individuals who
paved the way for geocaching in Arizona. To them, we all owe a great
debt. <br>

Speaking of Wyle E... How many of you other oldtimers remember the
time a<br>
non-existent cache was "placed" in Phoenix not far from Wyle E's home.</blockquote>
<div> <br>
I remember!! In fact, my first cache was a "Wyle E" puzzle cache
(GC3788) Mission: Looney Tunes. AJ.JR had invited me along to help him
"solve the puzzle." On our ride home from the cache, we marvelled that
"Wyle E" had over 600 finds! We thought (then) that we could never
approach that number. By the end of the year, I had 139 finds. Over
the next 3 years, I averaged 725 finds per year. <br>

Actually cachers never leave the game, they just hibernate for a short period of time.</pre>

In 2007, I had only 25 finds! I guess I was in hibernation mode that
year.<img goomoji="330"

Gotta love that! Competition for the least amount of finds with the most
active hides?</pre>

How 'bout most (logged) DNF's? I'm at 246 (and counting.)<br>
