> 1) How did you get introduced to Geo Caching?
My husband decided we should look for a cache while on vacation. He 
can't remember where he first heard about geocaching...might have been 
slashdot???

April 2001 was our first.

Kev's 12 was our first...we had to share...that didn't last long!
>     b) How many units have you owned?
2

I love my eTrex...very simple!  But we use Kev's 12 (since it does 
averaging) for hiding our caches.

At least on hour!  We didn't have a compass...and there was SNOW!!!!

We were on vacation in New England, took us forever to find and we 
learned A LOT!

Bass-Ackwards Cache!     
  a) Why?
Couldn't find it!  Was very tiring and a bit dangerous!
> 7) What factors dictate which cache you go looking for?
The written description of the cache really clinches it for me...if it 
sounds boring, I'm not as likely to try.
> 8) How many other Geo Cachers have you met while on a caching hunt?
Actually cache hunting (not including the evening at REI) 2 other teams
> 9) Has that meeting changed the way you cache?
Hmmmm...no, not really.
> 10) When unable to locate a cache how long do you search?
Usually about an hour...depends on how Kev's patience is holding up!

I've only had one official "no find"

Nope

My favorite trinket is the lizard keychain from Place Tup Top!  I WORKED 
for that keychain!  Carry it everywhere with me!

Any instrument of fire.
