Oh, what
the heck...
1) How did you get
introduced to Geo Caching? I'm not

learned about geocaching while researching..

eMap

cachers? I really
like my eMap, but I encourage people to look at all kinds of units and decide
for themselves.
4) How long did it take to locate your first cache? 10 minutes once we
were in the area. Overall, it took all afternoon because my desktop
software wasn't using the same units as the eMap, so nothing was quite
where it should have been; and I mistook a trail for a road and we had to figure
another way in.
