I wonder why such a person would start out geocaching with such great enthusiasm, yet drop out as abruptly as he went into it?

This is an easy question at least for me to answer I didnt do quite that many in such a short time but I did quite a few in a short period of time and have done very few since then. but found that over time that finding these alone was not anywhere near as fun as finding them with others, 90% of the caches I have found have been by myself but my friends either live to far to go or dont find the same enjoyment out of finding caches as I do. There is also the work factor in the last few months I personally went from the normal 40 hour work week to a 60 hour work week which has left very little time for hobbies or anything else... just my 2 cents worth.
