I guess I fit into this group.  My premium membership renewed a month  
ago and I only just found this listserv :-)

There was a period from June through August when I had other  
priorities, as I expect will happen every year.   Maybe in a few  
months or years I'll hit 500.   Caching is a great way to find cool  
spots I'd not know about when I visit new places.   Also a great way  
to spend a few hours with the kids.


Someday, I may even be in town when one of the local event caches pop  
up, and meet some fellow cachers!     I've still never tripped over  
anyone while on a hunt.
