Dear SquishyGecko, My wife and I cache as Team Petite Elite, as we almost always go out together. I did pick up a few finds in San Diego while she stayed home and helped take care of her mother who just had back surgery. We also belong to a Miniature Horse Drill Team of the same name. That is all we have done with the team thing.
