Well we all know it is addicting, I never thought I would spend my free time driving around looking for dollar store items hidden on top of mountains under a bunch of rocks. I think my two sons would prefer that I go out Geocaching more without them, instead of dragging them along. -----Original Message----- From: loran @cox [mailto:loranwilcox@cox.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 12:00 PM To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] New monthly record? I've decided not to worry about the cache karma. I have my ammo can but I just haven't devised an evil enough plan on where to hide it. Also with the number of new caches being hid; are there too many right now? I still have 165 caches within 100 mile radius I haven't tried yet. As for my string of finds ... well I find myself out of work and as Scott put it "That ol' boy just has too much time on his hands!". My initial plan for March was 3 a day, but then I figured why not go for 100. Even when I was in Indiana on a job interview; I made time for caching. But all good things must come to an end so after March I do plan to slow down or my wife will be very very angry. Something about never being around to help with the kids. So Wyle can rest, for his #1 rating in Arizona shouldn't be in jeopardy..at least I don't think so.
