Steve when you go caching again would you like some company as I need to sit again with a master... Heather the feelings you have are very normal the first cache we found took less than 3 minutes the second cache took nearly 7 hours and 4 visits and I then knew what it meant to be as blind as a deaf bat.. Bats do have poor eyesight but rely on their ears for the sonic signal. so a deaf bat would be pretty bad off... as you continue and even become addicted you will develop what I call Satellite Karma, this is when you can walk right up to cache and other times you find yourself in a farmers field.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Team Tierra Buena" To: Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 10:13 PM Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] introduction > > My name is Heather > > HI, HEATHER! > > > I know to you experienced cachers, the urban cachers are > > "just too easy," but I'm getting frustrated at my lack of > > finding the "easy" ones. > > As the proud owner of the third-largest collection of Not Found logs in > the state, permit me to welcome you to our collective addiction.
